This was by far the funniest video I’ve watched in a while. I can’t even begin to think what the funniest part of it was. Man that was gold. Love when Ben fishes with someone and Cole lays down the badass footage. Awesome video! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Those waters are literally perfect for those k9s and Drt baits its not to clear but. Has a tint and just enough current but not too much and plenty of rock which seems to be good for those drt baits due to the way the fish congregate to them for structure and plenty of lay down logs. An it seems the forage those fish are eating is a perfect size match to the k9 or TK with the herring and trout that are there.
Yo …it’s crazy how two of my favorite big donkey bass catching TH-cam channels just merged in my backyard!! Lol Definitely booking with dream catchers soon! This collaboration would be lit during Pre spawn! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
I wish they would’ve cooperated better for you the first 3 days, but it’s good to see the grind every now and then. That 5 and 6 pounder on day four would’ve just been “decent fish” and tossed back casually on an east Texas body of water for you lol. I see it routinely from you 🥴 which is a compliment. Thanks for showing some beautiful water I’d probably otherwise never get to see.
Two of the Best grinding it out together Austin is such a good guy has a big heart glad to have dream catchers around hope you get to come back Ben!! And coleslaw!! It was bad ass getting to meet you to
that lake used to be soo much better before it got blown up ... the pressure is retarted now in such a small piece of water ... i still catch em but i definitly have to work harder than i use to
I won’t drop names but I know exactly where this is and it’s one of the toughest fisheries I’ve ever been to. So glad you got to experience going there bud!
I live in Northeast Tennessee and on the border of North Carolina and Virginia. That lake is a killer. You were very close to a top notch stripper lake in that area.
@Milliken Fishing Ben, It just occurred to me that you have done a follow up to crappie hybrids you stocked in your pond. Any of them still alive? They should be huge by now if they have been well fed. Also how are the catfish looking?
People like you turn these “hidden gem” fishing spots into mainstream, overfished areas. But, Thanks for not giving away the name. Really appreciate it as a local of that river
yeah he hides the names now bc back a few years ago he went to a lake in texas and idk if it was the biggest bag on youtube video or the biggest bass caught in texas video but it caused a ton of traffic to that lake so ever since he’s made sure to hide the names of lakes he goes to
After watching this video I don't think you have anything to worry about if anything put the names out so people can add them to the list of lakes not to go to lol.
Go back when it gets colder out! Some of those deep highlands not far from dream catchers that’s when those trout push in shallower the big boys follow them up
I live 5 minutes from the first lake you fished. 5 years ago you diddnt see anyone down there and fishing was insane. Last 2 years the live bait guides have made it so popular and so pressured went from one or 2 boats on the lake to 20-25 a day.
If you came out to the west coast, you would be finding yourself throwing even bigger baits. Lakes out here will see a couple 16-17 lbers each year. 🤙🏻
Great Channel I have learned so much from you and help me produce a 7 pound bass this year in Wisconsin and got onto the swimbait fishing and it's been fun hope you keep catching giant's and have a wonderful year
Brother I wish I would have known you were in my area. I would have loved to meet you and maybe go fishing with you. Hopefully you can come back one day! Awesome video man!
You need to try the night time topwater walleye bite on Watauga lake in NE Tennessee from mid April through late June, talk about fun. It's not great lake walleye by any means but have seen them as big as 16 lbs pulled from there at night. Not bad for a 6400 acre lake

Hour of Milliken fishing
YOU BETTTTTT!!!
Live in North Ga and you are right, the Appalachian Mountains are one of the hidden gems of this country
Cuz no one thinks giant pig bass both small head's and large heads and mountains 🤦👀 even tho we should be.
Is this like Cherokee lake area
Yeah hidden gem. Not anymore with videos like this lol.
I live in ky can confirm my personal favorite is the smallies that live in the mountain streams
Shhhhhhh
milliken!!!!! I live in this area, Thanks for visiting and showing off what WNC has to offer!
What's the name of that dam and is it good for catfishing? I would love to catfish it.
Fontana?
This was by far the funniest video I’ve watched in a while. I can’t even begin to think what the funniest part of it was. Man that was gold. Love when Ben fishes with someone and Cole lays down the badass footage. Awesome video! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Hey man used to watch you’re videos all the time with my dad before he passed away. Thank you for bringing everyone good content 👍 appreciate you man
Had an absolute blast!!! Can’t wait for round 2 💪🏽
Watching right now love your energy Austin! 🫶🏾 Will definitely be in touch!
Have you tried Briery Creek near Farmville VA, absolute giants are in there. 16lbs is the lake record but there's bigger
Love your shop. Great folks and great selection of gear that is hard to find around here.
@@MrHugs17 Thanks hero!
Yall hit all my honey holes !! Loved it wish i could have met Benny boy while he was here !!
Them Carolina Boys are something to be reckoned with...
Dude literally threw a clash nine over that guys head
That’s what happens when you have 100% confidence in you casting abilities.

Prespawn 😳🔥 madness!!
I appreciate the reality of what bass fishing is so often. You don't have to catch them to have an amazing trip.
This video gave me cold chills you are literally in my back yard
Dude beautiful area
Did you already know about the big bass ?
I love hearing the difference of how people that aren’t from Tennessee say Appalachian compared to what people here pronounce it.
I wish they would’ve cooperated better for you the first 3 days, but it’s good to see the grind every now and then. That 5 and 6 pounder on day four would’ve just been “decent fish” and tossed back casually on an east Texas body of water for you lol. I see it routinely from you 🥴 which is a compliment.

Glad to see you finally made it this way! Sad to see how many people will know now but hey more people fishing is never a bad thing
I know where you guys are in three of those videos. Ain’t sayin a word. Gods country. Cheers boys.
Two of the Best grinding it out together Austin is such a good guy has a big heart glad to have dream catchers around hope you get to come back Ben!! And coleslaw!! It was bad ass getting to meet you to
Love to see you fishing right where I reside
Glad you are learning about the DRT ghost. One of my favorite baits and the new deps
You guys are funny AF!!! I was dying when you said "we're not going to fish this spot?" after getting the boat stuck
Ben, you should come to Chickamauga. We have tanks down here in north Tennessee.
Jennings is a good boy! Coached him in football years ago
that lake used to be soo much better before it got blown up ... the pressure is retarted now in such a small piece of water ... i still catch em but i definitly have to work harder than i use to
Love this video. Awesome stuff Ben 👊🏻
welcome to the smokies brother ben !
Lake Glenville, Fontana, James, Murray, Blue Ridge , Hiawassee, Great fishing , my back yard 😋
Beautiful place, y'all fish well together, a lot of fun to watch even though the bite was off.
This video with all the sarcasm was probably my most favorite video to date, other then ZARK VIDEOS
Love a longer video also love watching big swimbait fishing
Lol your in nc my home . I’m stuck in tx with a broke down big truck I wish someone would take me fishing.
The Peoples Champ! Ben you should reach out to him, take him fishing, do a video.
Dude I’ve been waiting for big fisherman to come to NC 🤘
Super stoked I got to meet you and talk to you. Super chill guy, love the content. Hope you get to make it back up here
Come to Northeast Tennessee in the winter for some monster smallmouth and striper fishing. And put the new 6th sense arig to the test.
Love to see you fishing in my neck of the woods glad you could enjoy the mountains of NC
Absolute killer video man!!!!!
YEEESSSS LETS GET IT! GRAB THE POPCORN BOYS!!
Heck yeh!! You made it my Home State!!! Hope you liked the Appalachian mountains!!! They are beautiful!!!
Ben, you've gotta get into the DRT baits man!! They catch alot of quality fish!!!
Learn to work em in glide mode!!
I won’t drop names but I know exactly where this is and it’s one of the toughest fisheries I’ve ever been to. So glad you got to experience going there bud!
This got be one the best intros I’ve seen in awhile 🔥🎣
I throw big Swimbaits in the untouched part of these blue ridge mountains. They're definitely un-pressured
Awesome to see some content in this area. Come check out Lake Jocasse
I live in Northeast Tennessee and on the border of North Carolina and Virginia. That lake is a killer. You were very close to a top notch stripper lake in that area.
We need to see a collaboration with Marling baits!!!!
When we talked on the gram, this and another lake were the ones I was talking about man.
It looks epic..
I've never laughed at a fishing video so much.
Say it with me App-ahh-latch-an mountains. Loved the video man and glad you could make it to my neck of the words and catch a some hogs!!
30:50 mark- BEN “We gotta stay away from them cause the water is cleaner as shit SERIOUSLY” 31:22 mark-Ben starts running the trolling motor 🤣
Let’s goooo great video ben that lake will hurt your feelings sometimes
@Milliken Fishing Ben, It just occurred to me that you have done a follow up to crappie hybrids you stocked in your pond. Any of them still alive? They should be huge by now if they have been well fed. Also how are the catfish looking?
Got to love those socks!! Hopefully they take care of business sat!

Enjoyed this one
