  • What an incredible start to my Bassmaster Open at Toledo Bend!! I mixed between the Carolina Rig and big swimbait and it landed me at the top of the leaderboard! I can't wait to show you guys the last 2 days of the event.

    Everything about this video is amazing, Ben’s the best TH-camr out there and I really appreciated how he took the time to help land all of his co anglers fish and showed him such good respect, I know quite a few guys that do not like having a co and show it

    Been watching you for about a year or two now. Not a huge fisher myself but I’ve fallen in love with the weigh ins and seeing how well you do in your first big professional tournament series. Keep it up. Never guessed I’d see you topping the leaderboards in your first year but damn well done brother!

    Congratulations Bro. You, Cole and family are raising the bar on expectations and performance in pro bass fishing. And your ability to determine fish patterns and behavior is second to none. Keep up the great work!
    And what other pro helps his co-anglers out like this! Great job.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us it is truly interesting to apply these tactics on our own waters.
