Wow! What a way to start the year! Can’t believe they went out of business, still had your old boat, and your tackle organization looks about like mine! Looking forward to a great season for you in 2024.
So glad your father in law is home and on the road to recovery. Hey the old boat is looking great plus you know it inside and out so no surprises lol
Good luck this season and prayers for you family and even more so the family who lost a loved one to save him !!! God Speed
Ben praying your season will be very successful. Thanks for sharing.
All the best Ben, Slaw, and Mfers!! Positivi ( . Y . ) Thoughts and prayers with you and your family! My Dad is going through it, finding out the day before Thanksgiving that he'll never walk again. But we're getting through it! Keep Rippin 🎣💥
Appreciate that!
@@MillikenFishinghey. Robby here in Tex. Can you please let me know what’s a good bass lake to retire on here? What’s the lake you were just fishing with the 6 sense hybrid worm? I saw nice boat docks there. Thank you for sharing
has your triton sold?
@@MillikenFishing
Bud!!! Anglers Port Marine Warsaw, Missouri
Top notch and AMAZING! people I just bought a Phoenix 21 Elite and I am joining their pro staff! Amazing service. I cannot say enough about them. I was going to go with Boat WRX and then the whole debacle of them closing was a blessing for me. I found the guys at Anglers Port Marina ask for Don, Stone,Cory
Wow a double lung transplant!?? I didn't even know that was a thing? I'm really happy to hear he is doing well that's is amazing. Hope he keeps the good progress!
So bad ass Ben! Congrats on the new boat deal and congrats on GPa making it through surgery see you on the next episode!!
Puma STS would be tough to beat. My family has run basscats a long time and they’re awesome. Would be cool if he runs one.
Glad all is working out with your family and its good to see the old triton again its a nice boat wish i could make an offer lol
Have you thought about tagging your fish and keeping track on they’re growth and be able to keep track of what they bit on and maybe if it was the same fish that you just caught . I know Bama bass does that but I love the content and sponsors will come and go an glad your dad is coming home praying for you and the family.
Prayers for Becky dad and to u guys hope for speedy recovery
Keep up the great content Ben. At least you are able to get back out there and do some fishing. Is a Vexus in your future? We need to know the details.
@millikenfishing why do I feel like your next boat gonna be a phoenix lol
I agree----
Praying for ypur family man . My boys would die for that boat to fish the high school bass tournaments. Super nice boat .
Wow good for him!!!! I’m so happy for him. I’m on the same list and the odds of success aren’t good but they are the best they’ve been. They’ve only been doing transplants since 2020 so it’s still real new. But I’m ecstatic for you guys. That’s amazing news!!!
I’m praying for you sir. I hope it’s really soon
I’m praying for you sir. I hope it’s really soon
Run what ya brung🎣 good luck with the new rig!
Honestly, learning the electronic portion of your boat and the wirew are great to know.
Hang in there Ben! Been watching since way back and you have come way up. Eclipse this spring in southern IL… CRIPS FISH!!! 😂
I was torn between a falcon and a blazer, but there isn't a dealer within 13 hours on the falcon, so it was an easy choice. Be happy you're in bass boat country.
That boat joined you on some defining moments....keep it, still looks the deal.
Awesome video man! That boat is going to be so nice!!!!
My step dad had a double lung transplant the same time covid hit the states
He was doing good but about 6 months ago they had a house fire and it caused his lungs to reject now he has to go through it all over again
We have a benefit for him next weekend hoping he can get on the list and get another transplant and it goes good
Damn it man pulling for you guys!
Man.. you need to put whatever film you use for your waterlands on a damn camera lens cause I went from not seeing gina swimming around and then bam Gina lmao
Whatever rig u end up with don't matter at all... hope u have a good year bro!
The Triton looks sweet,and i wouldnt even worry about getting a new Boat unless its required by whatever sanctioning body or Organization that your going to compete in.Less than 200 hrs is nothing on the outboard and it looks like Trailer and Boat are road and lake worthy.New Boats are crazy expensive and to be honest i dont know how some of you guys do it,but all im saying is no shame in your game if the triton has to go out and kick some butt as u know its the guy fishing that takes the W,not the rig he fishes from and your one heck of a Fisherman that can do well regardless of having whatever brand new boat to fish from.Good luck next season and prayers sent for Beckys dad.PS:How about a good ole spillin-way vid like u an Josh use to do,those were awesome.
Ahh the struggles a tournament bass fishermen goes through. Good work brother
You’re a beast! And hope all is well with the family!
I have a 2022 Triton Trx Patriot, it's a great boat!! Earls boats are great
Caymas and Patriot layout the same.
Prayers for your father in law! Hope the new boat deal works out! Random thought… maybe do a boat raffle! Allow anyone interested to buy a raffle ticket, for a chance to win your old boat. With your great following, may make you more money, but it would allow someone not in the position to buy such a great boat the opportunity to own one.
Everything is going to be good for you man! But you should really come back to Wyoming to do some ice fishing. I loved those videos!
My old man had a Heart and Kidney transplant on August 29th this year
He’s 62 and now he’s in better health that me and I’m 41
Thanks Ben and wish u the best at the classic and on the Elite series💪🏼
Great Video brother. Can't wait to see you Crush them next year in 2024. Show them MFRS who can get it done in a Bass Buggy.
Really curious if it’s falcon boats. Figured you might have went with them.
Good deal, Ben!!! Best of luck!!
I would guess skeeter being a texas resident right now.. but ikon would be solid also
Ol Randy pulled some strings and got his revenge lol! 😂
what is your fishing glasses recommendation? your channel is refreshing to hear the straight stories instead of sugar coating
Good to see you pond fishing
That’s crazy. Blauket and Dunkin’ were sponsored by them. I live in missouri, surprised by this.
You should do a fish off with an MFER and if they win they get to keep your boat! Or you could do a merch sale for a raffle to win you boat! Love the videos man good luck in the elite series
Prayers go up blessings come down
My MAN!!! Nice tanks in the back yard 🌲💪🏽🌳. Can’t wait for the cold water content. Keep’em cummin
Rockin a 2002 TR21 great boat. Earl is a legend
Well shit keep rolling with the punches homie your killing it 💪🙏 ps when can we finally get the hangover 😢
Hoping December 9th
That's my birthday! Absolutely perfect timing!
Rite on can't wait 🍻
You're gonna love that new truck,
Wow, that's probably the very best outcome anyone could ask for with that boat dealer going out of business.
Hell, I wish I had the money, I would ask you to autograph it for me. I don't even have enough for a jon boat, lol!!! Best of luck to you with your future boat and tournaments. Hope you win it all!!!
I live in Springfield Mo and when we got both Boatwrks and Baiterks I wondered if they would survive being so close to Bass Pro. And then year I didnt know what happened when Boatwrks disappeared. Baitwrks seems to carry a lot inventory that Bass Pro doesnt so thats nice.
For sure they got a lot of juice!
Boat-wrx moved into the old Skeeter place in Nixa.
Baitwrks also has better prices on a lot of things and for me in south Louisiana is a day or two faster shipping without having to pay
Praying for a speedy recovery for your Daddy-in-law.
The miracles of modern medicine are just short of some Star Wars kinda stuff.
Much love to ya, brother!
Best of luck to you in the coming year!
Wait. Both you and Randy Blaukat were both sponsored by Boat- wrx
But anyway when are we going to get speedglide 100s back in stock in trying to get one for my birthday in December
also im getting a MFer rod for Christmas can wait to get that. Are you going to do a little bit of ice fishing this December
Most likely one of the big 3 , however would love to see you try a ballistic boat. Just saying. Best of luck in all your endeavors obviously.
I spoke to a guy earlier this year and he had a bass cat. He said that’s his 5-6 different brand of bass boat and he said the bass cat is the he Cadillac of bass boats. Man that thing was nice.
Awesome man! They're great boats for sure
The original owner's son of basscat came to talk to our high school fishing teams down here in Alabama. Along with Hank Cherry, Steve Kennedy, and John Crews. Our 1 dealer sells basscat and they are some awesome boats. Caracal STS would be my choice. Pricey but not Ikon price.
I also had a tooth break into a dagger in my mouth, ive been keeping it filled with orthodontic wax so i dont shred my tongue.
Need to stock that pond with some big bait fish and fatten them up!
You need to look at crappie brakes. I have 10 foot poles as well and as you know, they break down more than the 8’s and 6’s. The brakes kind of make the pole themselves obsolete, except for parking . It is the final straw of boat control in my opinion
Ben . Reach out. I buy and sell late model used boats. I'll bet I can find a buyer if you don't get one from the video. Who did the glass work ? Also do you have those records and warranty information on the work ? That will be a big factor selling. Its getting scary nowadays as far as glassing is concerned .
Bass cat or ranger ranger use to be best boat built i think its bass cat now that triton is sweet to never heard anything bad about a triton.. but cant wait to find out man 👍
all the boat a quality stick needs!! rmp has basscat now!!!
Damn bro feed them bass😂, they looking skinny. Video opportunities 😂. So glad to hear about your father-in-law, lost my mom the day after Thanksgiving and i know how trying times can be with parents being sick. ❤
Sorry for your loss. Anytime is a bad time to lose a family member, but really socks around the Hollidays.
Definitely need some food in there
@@ronknight7863 thanks, but she got Thanksgiving with the family and there was 0 arguing and she told my dad she had the best day and really enjoyed it
Tracker for the win---😂....love mine, but im thinking phoenix 🤔....
Excited to see the new rig for 2024.
me too!
Since you live in Texas, hopefully you are going with Skeeter. Love my Bug
Congratulations on the boat deal! Look forward to watching your Rookie season on the Elites!
seeing milliken in a Phoenix would be badass!
I'm thinking Vexus. Not sure why, but something tells me you're going in that direction.
Ben, you’re the man! Sorry about boat works shit, you got it figured out tho . You work your fuckin ass off brother! Following you the whole way man!
I confused. Wasn't there a video walkthrough when you bought the Caymas last year or so Sounds like it was a swap I guess for the old boat for the Caymas maybe. Not sure if it was bought why anyone would have to return it.
Watch the Video
@@kevinledford8260 which video. This one or the one last year or so?
I’d be interested in your boat. How far away are you from Tulsa Oklahoma?
Good luck in 2024 man.
Thank you!
100lb mark. Century Belt! Lake Fork! Let's Go!!!!!
I noticed the Bow Tie in your videos recently. Did you switch to a 1500 Duramax? Or are you running a big boy HD?
2500 HD buddy!
@@MillikenFishing I hope its a great vehicle for your upcoming season! And I must say I'm stoked to hear you're going to do the pictures on your wrap after all, I was pretty disappointed when it didn't happen...💪
Hey man, if your floatin your boatin, catch'um up Ben...
Good to hear about your father in law. I'm going to guess Basscat or Phoenix and whichever it'll have a Mercury on the back.
I’m guessing skeeter Yamaha! Them sho engines are tough. Make you forget about them Merc’s
Boat works in Osage Beach Missouri lake of the Ozarks screwed me last year glad they went out of business
Hope you're going into a Blazer this January
Keep the boat for a camera boat. Maybe Slaw can keep up with you
Agreed!
"I'll buy that one for a Dollar!" Sorry, had to Robocop on ya, I couldn't help it! lol If I could afford to, Ben, i'd make ya a good offer.
The same boat ( Phoenix) at Hennessey Outdoors . 😮?
I’m going find it on google earth and slip in on ole boys land and do some sore mouthing! Cameras and fences don’t stop me! 😆🤣
Can someone explain why it’s important getting an upgraded boat every year? Seems like kayak anglers do the same thing and I can’t wrap my head around it.
I don’t think it’s necessary, but if you can afford it then why not do it anyway so you always are fishing out of the best and newest boats. I personally wouldn’t but I can see why he would
Absolutely agree for me personally, although I wish I could. But for Ben snd other professional anglers--if you have the opportunity, then you should because it's their livelihood
It depends on the angler from the reasearch i've done, I had the same question. Some may actually own the boat outright, pro anglers put a crap ton of hours on their motors, new cutting edge electronics come out yearly etc, that's one reason. Two seasons with 300+ hours each is a lot. It would take me 10yrs to put 300hrs on a boat. The main reason I found though is a lot of the boat contracts they are in, they are given the boat as basically a demo/advertising, they actually have to pay for the boat in some kind of special agreement. That's why they all put their boats up for sale at the end of the year, and if they don't sell it for X price they are reponsible for the diffeence, and they can't get their next years boat delivered until the previous boat is sold. Bradley Hallman made a video on it ruclips.net/video/pWmCpblcOYo/видео.html
In some cases, the boats are still owned by the dealership/bank and the pros are given a demo. The dealer will get the boat back after xx hours, end of season, or when the next model becomes available. Dealers will then sell the demo boat as a "new", unregistered unit to the first owner. Sometimes, the manufacturer helps dealer and pro navigate the process and timing and others are agreements/contracts just between dealer and pro.
I was listening to that FUTZ guy earlier… him wasn’t happy he was referred to as some nobody, said he’d be having a talk with you, Ben! AND ironically… he was proudly sportin’ Waterland Hat AND peepers 🤷♂️😂
And had the balls to ask for donations so he can fish???
@@ronknight7863 I’m going tomorrow, wanna give me a hondo for gas? I know the guy is young and that’s where the comments are derived from but come on man.. sharpen your knife. Get to fuggin work. Swindle gave the best ever sponsor speech. Futzy should go listen
My guess is you went back to a Phoenix bit im hoping you went with an express
I havee a friend who jjust did this! Isnt it crazy how much they can do?
My mom had dbl lung transplant 9 years ago now god is good!!!!
So they went out of business and had to take the boat back that you were in this year? Did you have the option to buy it or just "na, we gotta have it back"? Triton still looks great though! Prayers for your father in law!
I own Vibe Electronics in weatherford. Would love to help you out if you need any wiring assistance!
I see lots of mentions of bass cat, I know they are quality boats, but from the passenger seat the ride sucks
Back to the triton 💪
Dang, i would have guessed an iKon!
Love the boat, can't afford it, but love it.
I’m going to guess it’s going to be a Phoenix or Bass Cat. If I had my choice it’d be a Bass Cat 👍
Could be!
Bass cat all the way
My choice also
Mine too!! Feel the rush 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Bass cats are great boats for sure
If I was you I would keep it that way you can have it for a backup boat like camera when you are out fishing yourself when you're not doing your
Got 40k in gear cases on the floor lol or paper weights if the v8 cases 😂
heres a little shout out and prayer for beckys dad!!!!
Maybe a Vexus glass boat?
Awesome video 😊
New boat is gunna be icon
Shidddddddd ben.
You got enough support to start your own fishing tournament.🤷🏾♂️
I can’t believe boat worx went out of business. I’m like 35 minutes from them. LoZ is where me and my 7 year old fish (terribly, but we try😂)
