I would argue Ben is more rounded fisherman than Josh cause Josh stays on one to three lakes for 90% of his social media photos. Still an absolute hammer and tactician on LiveTarget but Ben finds ever where on multiple baits.
Ben Is no doubt the best big bass fisherman on RUclips. Ty PigPatrol catches huge fish of more species than I have ever seen anyone else. It's absolutely absurd
You have became an official TEXAN & you have became one with the waterways of Texas obviously ... you are the man on the waters of Texas now & u set the bar and u set it high !
I respect you so much for not blowing out the lakes you fish. It just goes to show that you are in it for the love of your passion not a certificate. Keep up the great work and meet the fire content coming. Wish you the best of luck on the up coming events you attend. Go crack em bub!!!
@Luke Switzer I do believe what he is saying is that he didn't want to give out the location. Not to hurt the lake, but to not just have 75 anglers from 100 miles out coming and catching all of your beautiful big fish and taking the extra risk of them being stressed out and dying. Not that he didn't want to shout out the lake. I feel like your missing the point. Last time he posted where he was when he slayed a big group of big big fish. A shit ton of anglers went there and took out a large number of the fish in the lake and now the lake isn't fishing no where near what it was.
The nonchalant manner in which Ben handles catching trophy bass is something else lol. Crazy to see someone that is so used to giants that they treat em like a bluegill!
That place looks very familiar to me. I worked down in Texas for about 9 months and looked around for some nice fishing spots. I came across this reservoir that's really only open on the weekends. Some monster bass were in there.
Your a hell of a fisherman, way better than I’ll ever be. Wish you would get a scale that clips on instead of the hook, taking care of those big girls is important! Keep it up man, your content is unmatched.
Good job Ben you're the best! Catching one fish 10lbs or more is any man's dream let alone catching what is that your 2nd 14lber now!? Great work can't wait to see you in the opens!
Don’t blame you for a second for not turning that in . I have some secret little unpressured spots in the northeast, I could catch a state record and I still wouldn’t turn it it . Or at least I would never admit the actual lake I caught it at lol
I hope you win the tournament so I can see you kick butt in the Classic. It's always great watching your videos because you give and show so much information on how and why, you do what you do. Love it keep it going peace ✌🏾🎣
Keep it up man! I like how you fish. You can catch giants on more than just one lake and use more than just a swim jig and A rig LoL Good luck in the opens I’ll be following.
Hard for haters to hate when you bring this kind of heat... IF you ever get an itch to go catch some trout and redfish in galveston wade fishing lets go!
Cannot wait for the tournament videos. Your a hammer bro. Learned so much from you. Side note… Bens shoe game is always on point!! Appreciate you bro. Good luck to you and hopefully see some wins. You beeetttt!
Ben, I know exactly what your saying, I KNOW, and that’s all that matters!! I love it when you show the screen and bait. Been watching since the beginning, can’t wait until the opens. I hope your dream comes true, and I can’t wait to follow you getting there 👍👍😁😁
Aye good for you respect that person who fishes just because they love it not because they want to be known on paper for biggest fish much love for being like that.
Great video Ben. Amazing how many big fish were out there. I agree let the big girls go back home. Looking forward to seeing your new boat and the open travels.
Dude I wanna wish you the best of luck and safe travels while running the gauntlet,I've watched you forever and been waiting on this day to come,good luck out there and can't wait to see you in the classic,theres alot of people who believe in you and know you can do it,I got a feeling alot of anglers gunna get use to hearing the Mfr nation 👊
Thanks Ben for the unbelievable videos. I can’t wait to see how everything plays out with the opens. I have no doubt that you will do well and qualify for the elite series. You are a special kind of fisherman and I love that you come from baseball at a high level. I played ball myself and I passed it to my boys and they have college level experience in baseball. Keep it my friend and I can’t wait to see your journey.
Wow what a huge stringer of megaladonks...and on a variety of baits. Ya I would keep the lunkers a secret and locations. Thanks and keep video content coming.
Mad respect for you brother, always amazed watching you fish. Us Mfers know you're legit and don't bullshit. The amount of quality fish you catch is what dreams are made of. Keep grinding. You'll catch some more lake records no doubt in my mind.
Can't wait to see how you do In the tournaments. Seems like your big fish instinct is on point. P.s. there is nobody in history that casually weight a 14 lb bass like that 🤣
If you keep catching fish like that, we will see you in the elites by next year! Good luck to you in the opens. Maybe catch you in the lake of the ozarks, in the opens. Thank you for all you have taught me and others about baits, etc.
Hey bud love your videos and I’m learning a lot from them. I’ve already caught both the smallmouth and largemouth Wv state records but failed in having either certified. Last year my girlfriend caught the IFGA fresh water world record smallmouth bass in the female 4lb test line category on a live 6 inch white sucker with just a plain shank size 1 hook and her little 3ft dock demon rod. When we took her fish to the DNR office to have it weight the fish biologist wasn’t there so we didn’t get the opportunity to have the trophy recognized. Her fish was 20 and a quarter inches and weighed 4.4 kilograms. I didn’t know to girth the fish but I know it was around 16 inches. We had it mounted but unfortunately the mount we got back wasn’t the same fish. At 19 inches and 11 inch girth it must only be about 3lbs, so I’m having a replica made for her from Canada knowing how special this fish really was. It’s the second biggest smallmouth I’ve ever seen in person behind my biggest smallmouth I caught from the same body of water some 17 years ago which I released not knowing I had the potential Wv state record smallie in my hands also on 4lb test line a little 4ft 6 ultra light rod and a 2 inch live crawfish. Funny kind of thinking back because the line broke on the hook set and had to hand line the fish in kind of like Matts pb largemouth from tactical bassin. I’ve also caught 2 largemouth bass from 2 different ponds both around 10lbs on live bait but I released them both .They would also probably be Wv state records if I knew just how big they were and how close I was to the record. I have a knew plan now to catch my pb largemouth. In a couple day it will be march and my knew hud is goin for a swim. Later buddy, good luck this year and keep catchin.
Best big-fish fisherman on youtube, hands down. You catch fish in literally every episode that would be lifetime fish for most of us
Definitely between Ben and Josh Jones both are absolute hammers on big girls
Yep Ben’s pretty cool. Also check out Tye PigPatrol as well.
@@garyk76I mean…all at 1 lake

Nice catch Ben.❤
Your content is perfect ,little of everything .good luck on the trail.thanks for all your hard work.
Dude, I hope you do well on the professional bass tour. you deserve it

Gate keeping lakes is sad we are trying to grow the sport not keep lowkey so you and your buddies can fish it.

Great attitude and very thoughtful to do that. Back in the I would have had it the wall Back in the 80's lol!!

Are you still fishing the bass tour this year? If so can you post your schedule in one of your videos thx
He told you what series he was fishing, you can look it up and do the work instead of asking him to do it
The man for not blowing out the lake.respect the locals. Ripsumlipz
Can't wait to see how you do In the tournaments. Seems like your big fish instinct is on point. P.s. there is nobody in history that casually weight a 14 lb bass like that 🤣
How many have ever seen or held a teener? My new Life Goal.
Awesome BASS huge !! Thanks for sharing 🎣 👍
Not sure you need good luck, but I'm pulling for you in these tourneys! Keep doing what you do and don't over-think it.
If you keep catching fish like that, we will see you in the elites by next year! Good luck to you in the opens. Maybe catch you in the lake of the ozarks, in the opens. Thank you for all you have taught me and others about baits, etc.
Dope, eBay golde bait and line thru , you still throw the trax what gear ratio

Cannot wait for the opens videos

This might be the best bass fishing video I have ever seen
“We got weights in fish!” -Zark 😂
Best day ever! Giants, giants - bucket list- I wanna day like this😊
Where can I get one of those measuring boards? Thanks and good luck. 🎣🎣👍🏻
Awesome bass bro I'm still chasing to that moment that you've experienced with a legendary bass
Cant wait for the Tourney Vids.
I love your videos and I was wondering what pound line you use to catch these Biggins?
Best Bass Fisherman, keep putting out great content
