    Ben has always been one of the greatest fisherman out there.
    They are all just finding out what we already knew.
    Hopefully,the hole buzzards show some respect and decency the rest of the year.
    We’re all pulling for you brother and love watching you catch ‘em!

      @@gillzlife865 go fish in the bass master opens against Ben and get a taste there bud. Go compete for tens of thousands of dollars. Every fisherman has the same equipment Ben has and they aren’t as good as Ben is. It’s not the boat,graph,motor or bait. It’s the man that uses all these tools to out perform his competition and wins the tournament. Sounds like you had fun catching yourself a mess of bass though. Well done!

      @@gillzlife865 You definitely came off as a dick. "If it was for a glade bait and livescope he isn't shit." Quite a weird way of not trying to be a dick.
      Regardless, he doesn't have anything that every other person in the tournament doesn't have. If what you said was even remotely true, he wouldn't be winning. Not only that, he's literally posting here on YT exactly what he's doing. If it was as easy as you think, other competitors would be copying what he's been doing. It just simply isn't the case.

    Went there all weekend and I’ve been fishing Wheeler most of my life. It was great Saturday, the wind was light and the eel grass wasn’t floating so I could through a crank bait. Sunday there was terrible wind and it was impossible to fish deep so I flipped some docks and did pretty good. Caught many between the 2-4 lb range and lots of fish less than 2lbs. Love that lake.

    Hey Ben I am watching your video right now. I am watching you fish a shallow crank on what seems to be a fast taper rod. I have always heard that you want more of a mod bend rod for such applications. I have always liked a faster taper with a little more backbone for deep cranks. I am just wondering if I am seeing wrong or you prefer the same as me. Trying to figure out what works better. I guess whatever works for your style?

    Watched that podcast you did with Matt.. He knew exactly what he was doing. If rolls were reversed he would have flipped out big time. Can tell how is attitude was when he was trying to justify. It’s like bro You didn’t tell him not to fish there. But you also thought he had that mutual respect and would have eased up a bit to where you could hit your juice for a second.. the way he said damn right I’m just thinking about me was wild. Because you guys are all competing to qualify and win and he knows what proper etiquette is when a angler is position to make a cut.. He’s a hater you can just tell by his attitude. A big problem with people now a days is that me me me mentality. If he wanted to fish it that bad he would have worked his way to that spot day 1
