The views of the screen in your videos are incredibly educational and helpful. So is the narration as you go. Your teaching style is fantastic, Mr. Milliken. I’ve been learning a lot and look forward to more! Best of luck in tackling the tourney trail in 2023! Tons of us are rooting for you!
I said it before, I don't fish for bass much anymore but watching your videos always gets me going. It's so exciting to watch you catch them, fishing by yourself, or with Cole slaw, or Zark, it's so educational, funny, and I learn something every time, thanks Ben.
Don’t get me wrong what you do is very impressive BUT it would be more impressive before livescope came out. That’s not taking anything away from you. You are an incredible fisherman with or without technology but with that being said, more 40-50 lb bags are being caught than ever before and it has taken some of the “impressiveness” out of catching a 10lb bass.
Ben man I wish I could be on a boat everyday. I have to fish from the bank and I don't catch any fish that size. Your the best man and love your channel it never lets you down.
Man you catch some really nice bass! I have been watching your videos for years since you quit your job to do fishing full time. It has paid off, your story is inspirational. Keep up the great work BM!
Man im so glad your fishing the big league tournament trails . i think your going to crush it . just dont let the haters get to you when you struggle a bit. You know your good enough to be there your supporters know your good enough to be there dont listen to the haters.
Would love to see some more of the Rippin Raft, especially since I got my son one similar for Christmas!!! He's so excited and I was so excited to see his face whenever he sat in the seat and realized that he owns a boat!! It's posted on one of your latest FB posts! Hopefully we'll cross paths out on the water one day 🤘🏻🎣. You Bet!!
"When you're fishing a lake you've never fished before, your best bet is to find areas with structure that looks like it would hold bass." - Ben Milliken 2022
When is that line thru going to drop? Good luck in the opens this year. It's a huge step, and monster commitment for you and your family. Looking forward to seeing your style of fishing in a tournament
Best advice I can give. You have knowledge and experience. You paid your dues. You have skills. Work hard on building your mental side of competitive fishing. This is the most overlooked tool. Your trophy bass mental side is the best I've ever seen. I support you.
Got to tell you put hockey tape around the shaft of your net won’t scratch the side of your boat. Love your videos man keep up the awesome work, learned so much
Hey Ben, I was wondering how do you go about your research on the lake? Do you research the lake online and look for spots, then go out? Or do you just go out and look for what you think is holding the fish? I kind of struggle with researching spots before I get on the lake sometimes. Thanks, I love your content!
Yo Colby! I'm constantly studying man. Once I search online and find out about a lake that has put out some above average fish, I'll hop on my Navionics app and start doing map study to see how the lake lays out. Then I compare the layout to other lakes I've fished with a similar layout to create a strategy to start. Then once I spend time on my side scan to figure out the cover/bait and sometimes I'll see bass
It's crazy to see the progression since the old days when u still had your old white boat n were not in the KNOW of these caliber of fish.. well not like you are NOW I mean.. don't take it wrong I mean it in the best way cause I've been subbed for YEARS.. it's crazy to watch someone's progression an watch them work n grind and see the pay off .. 💯💯💪💪🎣
@@MillikenFishing oh I remember!!!!! I'm sure you always knew these fish were out there, but just the overall progression and the work ethic and the grind that you've put in over the years.. it's cool to see somebody grow in all kinds of ways and see the payoff in the end from all the hard work an the grinding!!! Keep them Hater shades on bra 💯💪😂✌️
Man, you are the king of these large bass. I get the live scope is awesome but I've seen you kill somewhere new without it. Keep it up and I'll keep watching. Thanks brother for showing the screen. I've been curious what it's like.
If you watch enough of millikens videos, you can pick up some of the things he does with his settings. Look back like a year ago or so and watch some of his livescope videos.....if you are smart and listen to the little nuances and the things he says in passing, you can pick up the info. You just gotta watch a lot of the vids and pay attention. Theres 2 public videos in particular over the past year where some things are mentioned.
Killing it dude always educational and inspiring to a struggling fisherman in Indiana. Id be interested in joining the members only club could u send a link
hey man i gotta question because I'm one of the less fortunate and can't afford live scope lol but is there that little delay on your screen the same. I see it's like just a small delay on the live scope and your twitches as your working the bait.
Man it takes time to master the live scope,but you have convinced me it can be done.I’ll keep trying I’ve had mine for 3 years and caught many fish but no giants.
the secret to cathcing giant fish is to fish bodys of water that hold a lot of them there are an insane amount of fisherys in ea state that cap out at 4-8lbs so fish the places that hold em
I have a fool proof & sure fire way to catch fish as well all sizes too. I buy em at the grocery store 🤣🤣🤣🤣 just fucking with y'all happy holidays. Somebody on here need a good laugh.
Yo I must say you made a dope rod . I hate that my careless ass broken the tip. But I ended up buying a lux which I like as well but I am thinking about getting another mfers rod hell I caught 8lb walleye on it. So I have to get another one. I just hate that I save it to use the warranty on it plus when it first came my darn phone wasn't allowing me to fill out the registry for the warranty on it. 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️. Thank you for both your content and making a good quality rod for us novice & balling on a budget fishermen happy holidays to you and your family. If you are ever in the twin cities I love to fish with you sir.
What version of waterland sunglasses do you wear? I don't see that style on their website. I like how much side coverage there is on the pair you wear.
I've got a bite like the swim bait bite in the video, but on a crankbait I started reeling real fast and then stopped it at the surface and a 5lber slammed it so dang hard it nearly took the rod out of my hand 😅🤟
@@MillikenFishing nice. Most of the water I fish around Fort Worth is 1-2 feet of visibility. That gives me some confidence to know I’m not wasting my time 🤙🏽.
I’m curious the weight of the camper and what size ram truck and how is the towing of the rig with it? Can you haul a** like 80mph comfortably? I’m considering a 24ft rv instead since I don’t actually need or have pickup truck but seems like they can’t handle going faster than 70mph comfortably but not sure yet
I can't say I'm a LiveScope expert because I almost always leave mine on Auto and it does a great job, but... when you're in 9ft, and you set your depth to 20ft, it's only using the top half of your graph. Is that just so you can keep the range at 100ft? Why not let it adjust so you get a full picture?
I’m convinced that you could pull a 10 pounder out of a bathtub. Just pulling slaunches out of every body of water. Love when people get pissed at you for catching fish 😂
@@MillikenFishing nice! I keep looking hoping for the release. Keep slaying them giants brother!! I’m still on the hunt for my first DD. They running caddo this time of year.
@@MillikenFishing I’m trying to catch some donks !!!!! Ready to order June is entirely too far away!!!! Can anyone get me a prototype I’ll love you long time ! Lol
Ben, First of all Merry Christmas. Secondly, you mentioned you fished the DO-It Victory 10111 90 Degree Jig Hook. Do you use the 3/0 or the 4/0 for the hover juggle? Third of all, Nebraska sucks, Boiler Up. Thanks. God Bless you and your family.
@@MillikenFishing Well, shit (can u cuss on this thing?). Tackle Warehouse only sells 3/0 and 4/0, guess I'll have to go order directly thru the company. Thanks for the quick reply.
They were mad but mostly I just wanted people to click. I catch more big bass than anyone but it’s impossible to get enough views to pay my bills without pandering to our culture that prioritizes negativity and drama 👍🏻 hope you had a great Christmas dude!

I’d love to spend a day on the water with this guy. Great content and genuinely seems like such a great guy.
Put my dad on your channel he just can’t believe that someone is consistently catching 10+ pounders! Love your stuff!
It’s awesome but unfortunately it’s not impressive as it used to be before livescope.
@@FullTimeFishingI don’t see the tens of thousands of other guys with livescope consistently catching ten pounders 🤷🏻♂️

Can't wait to watch you fish the opens..
Me too!
This guy is the best TH-camr fisher man
Definitely top tier for sure! Excited to see what he can do in the bigger tournaments.
