For the life of me I do not understand The hate you get. I’ve been in the industry. Worked at 2 shops. And the hate you get you can clearly see are from people who don’t Have any experience in the industry. Your videos are quality as always. Keep it up Ben!
Just discovered your channel. Love river smallies but at 87 am confined to lake-boat fishing. Haters??? I hate haters!!! Haters:.....suck it up!! Keep the vids coming.....good job!!
I'd rather start the day with smaller fish work up to the big ones vs having the biggest fish of the day being your 1st one you guys did it the right way
You need to come try the smallmouth on Crooked Creek or the fork of the Eleven Point and Spring rivers in Arkansas. There are no better places to hunt smallmouth anywhere. Period. On my last kayak trip on Crooked Creek this past Spring, 3 friends and I caught 141 fish between us in two days. Mostly smallmouth, but also black crappie, Ozark bass, white bass, a few mountain pickerel, and even a couple brown and rainbow trout.
Working in a Rad reference while fishing just made you the best fishing channel on RUclips. "Break the Ice!" Next week's challenge is "Send me an Angel".
That is Lewis’s rod. Not sure what line he had on it but it cast great and the 7 was much more appropriate than the 6 that I had been using. Fun rod for sure.
I had a blast fishing for small mouth in north east Oregon in 2017 (was there for the solar eclipse AND the fishing). I am guessing this is either Arizona or Alaska. Right?
I think a 7wt would be ideal. I use an 8wt in our lakes, but we often have to horse them out of weeds, so the extra beefy rod is helpful. But I’m also curious to hear what the guys in the video uses for gear.
7wts, with the exception of one 8 wt. I can't speak for everywhere,or the flies you are casting but it's makes a difference. Here a 7wt covers most. Floating line,sink tips,medium to kind of big flies,smallmouth,carp, to streamer fishing for trout. 7wts cover 90% of it. That being said I've always heard of odd or even guys on rod weight. I'm obviously an odd guy in more scenarios than rod wts.

People don’t like people who say things people don’t want to hear. I personally find it refreshing especially after living in the south.
They just jealous!!! Happy fishing!
I hats that I love him
Stephanie and Samantha were exceptional. Congrats, man

Smallies are so much fun! Thanks for taking us on the adventure.

L&M smokes and some EBT chicken, fishing in the south confirmed 😂 Nice work!
Nice work with the Pro II on Day 3, Ben!

@@HugeFlyFisherman Love it! Congrats on the nice smallies. We know that area well!
Fire small mouth fishing !!! Ben you caught toads!!!
Smallmouth in that area has been hot. So nice we have the option when trout are tough.
I almost wanna say I have fished that spot once before but I could be wrong on the location haha great fish

I need to go visit the Potomac to scratch the itch you just gave me
Wow looks like a nice day of fishing. I like my hands are full of beer and chicken.
I don't understand what water you were fishing. Was there some structure or drop off in the last few minutes? They were stacked up like chip board!
I'm a new subscriber and new to fly fishing and I absolutely love your videos! I haven't fly fished for bass yet but definitely looking forward to it👍
awesome Ben!! smallies are so cool
What weight rod is that and what weight streamer rod would you recommend? To catch any size bass largemought or smallmouth?
I think a 7wt would be ideal. I use an 8wt in our lakes, but we often have to horse them out of weeds, so the extra beefy rod is helpful.

Smallies are such a great time
Hey what size leader do you use when fishing for these guys
Hey Ben, when you wanna come to Virginia and catch some snakeheads? not many people do it yet.
Outstanding... Hi Kyle.
was that a orvis rod that broke in the video?
KYLE!!!
Some nice fish . Stay Huge
Ben just saw your sticker at Andros bonefish club every says hi
Awesome.
I'm new to North Jersey does anyone want to do any fly fishing in the Ramapo?
peak fly fishing
Hey Kyle!
Huge hotspotter
Just because you know where it is doesn’t make it hotspotting. Nice try though. It’s shocking how many people don’t understand that basic concept.

Smallies????
