I can't get over Max. Seems like yesterday he was just a little guy. He must be over the moon to have a dad like Ben. The fishing is what we're here for but I've grown to love seeing you with your family. ❤

I like ol milliken because he pretty much puts it out there. No bs. Mf act like if tell you and teach you about the game of fishing, it’s stupid to tell anyone like they will have the means or abilities to perform the way you do! Thanks brotha

What’s crazy is people keep buying them as fast as they can make them, so manufacturers will continue to raise prices every year. Supply and demand. People aren’t cutting back demand.

Just the fact that" the lower units for Yamaha's are impossible to get right now" is a very telling statement!

Your videos are a breath of fresh air, always enjoy watching

Ozzy is so funny. I love seeing him in your videos. He always has your back . Great video . I'm glad they got you hooked up at Yamaha. Keep rocking it . MFer for life .🤙🤙🤙

Thanks again for another awesome video I really enjoyed it and as always I'm really looking forward to seeing the next video

Sounds like an improper install on the first lower unit. Hot horn went off right after the lower unit swap.

Love your style, keep rocking it!

You’re putting in the work, big hopes it pays off big.

Hope to see you while your in town this weekend. Will you be hanging around the harbor after weigh ins

Excellent video, catch'um up Ben..

Love you brother! I can't wait to see you holding up that blue trophy from the Northern Swing!....FishOn.....jimi

Damn Max is a grown man! So good to see him. I miss those old ice fishing videos when he was a kid. Good times! Good luck brother and hookem good.

OMG i had the exact same sound last year on my Merc The feeling is gut wrenching I had it on video I called it the day the mercury died. I upgraded to the 175 Yamaha sho And love it . Good luck Ben your videos inspire me: ✌️

My opti left me for the first time Friday. I got a constant 6 second alarm about 30 seconds after I started my motor but everything seemed ok until I got about 10 miles from the landing and it shut down on me. I had that gut feeling it was going to happen and it did. It’s the oil reservoir sensor I think. Of course all the places are called Friday doesn’t have it.

So the $25K damage will be chalked up as mystery designation status. 😂

Pretty much a new motor.

Was wondering what spinning set up have you been using in tournaments??? I don’t do any social media so I can’t go somewhere else and ask this question. Thanks Well I guess this is considered social media.

Talking boats. I see your Caymas from last season is up for auction here in Springfield MO. Got 1 ? for u. Did that Mercury get a new power head b4 you turned it back in? Would appreciate a reply. Might buy it. Even though it’s n rough shape. Lol. Thanks

Have you trie going up to Guntersville dam and scoping the giant smallmouth that live yp there?

What 6th sense plastics are good for drop shot?

You are not screwed you got that KZread ✔️

Makes you wonder if the water pickup tube wasnt lined up properly on the new gear case. Not trying to bad mouth the dude who brought it out, but a little interesting that after the lower unit is swapped, toure getting alarms.

that blood apple is killing it right now and last month in Texas. glad its back in stock.

I like seeing the videos early

What caused the motor failure

Ozzy laughing at the fart cracked me up

Hey wild man, what brand fluorocarbon do you use.

Fish the weed line and then the first drop off and then the space in between the docks. Then move to the 2nd drop and the Space in-between the weed line and the drop next. 3rd fish prominent cover and ditches if they aren't in staging areas. Then Fish docks last. If that doesn't work fish depth. Only fish docks you know have big fish on them 1st before all this if you know they wont be there later. Then fish staging areas. Work Shoreline based on wind and temp; but only if you prefish because the fish might be in a different part of the stage. So be prepared to flip and rig last to pull fish out of hard cover or top cover. As a last resort use search baits such as jerk baits or spinnerbaits variants because fish might be in transition to a different area(s) due to pressure. Topwater.

Why did he want the camera off

Keep the content coming! It seems you have had some rough luck with motors? Be honest…. Are they just junk or are you that rough on them?

For your next practice video I want you too wear a joe dirt mullet wig and only use lines from the movie as celebrations 🙌

Absolutely hate that KZread is changing its plat form. Keep fishing and keeping it reel

Imagine coming to the comments just to hate on Ben. Man that’s a rough life.

Sounds like when the foot got changed the water pickup tube was not hooked up but you could see if that motor was peeing or not just my thoughts

That motor has been sounding rough for the last several tournaments in the videos youve put out.

Man I wouldn’t stay overnight in Decatur Alabama if we were in a zombie apocalypse and that was the only place without zombies! That place is the damn capital of getting shit stolen! I would travel a bit to the shoals area or stay over towards Athens or rogersville! I live 15 minutes west of Decatur so I know how it is over there. Just terrible.

I was hearing that sound while you were driving

New motor hopefully?

Pickwick, Wheeler and Wilson are dead due to the constant tournament pressure. Those embodiments in the 80,90,2000s are not the same as today. Alabama should have took a lesson from Texas.

Crazy to think I roll around with about the same amount of rods in my little tin rig 😂🤷

Hit something broke a prop probably weakened the lower. The upper power... well it's good for views to struggle. Love your videos. Keep grinding

Top Tier IPA! Voodoo

Yamaha is the Cheesecake Factory of fun things, not the worst for such a huge menu, but not the best.

When it rains it pours.Hopefully you got all the bad luck over with.

where exactly was the 25k in damage

Sounds like time to get a new motor 😂

Well I am stuck in 402. Need to go fish a canal.

Put a price tag on some of the rod setups..

Bro all love for this guy but dang you rough on engines or you just have bad luck

I want to see a 10lb stud😮

Anybody elses is out 4-6 weeks. Looks like they swapped a new motor. Not getting that warranty service for us pee ons.

Look guys and gals…when your motor sounds an alarm that doesn’t mean cycle the key and run it . He’s lucky they let him make it if they warranted that power head. I’d be calling this video “Saved by Yamaha”

Would like to see way more shit talking about Lee! lol

At least your spotlight didn’t break. You would be really screwed without FFS.

Fine folks😂😂😂. I bet anyone could guess

Real men drink voo doo’s !!!!

Don't drink too many IPA's or you'll be late to the ramp with a skull splitting headache 😅 Goodluck!

For the price of all these engines they break a lot all brands. But y'all do run the crap outta them. Going 70 mph at almost wide open throttle 60 miles up river sometimes just ain't good

Your revenue from YT will easily cover the repairs.

Welp, I had hopes for you Milly. Started off strong, completely fell off.

I hate hearing that sound out of a big motor

So much eye roll for the Yamaha guy 🙄

I hope the fine thugs of Decatur Al didn't still too much of your crap bro. They will still you blind down there for sure they out there gettin it 💯🤦 it's like this guy done had to get his whole boat rebuilt and still getting messed with

Dam man you think with a new bass cat you wouldn't have many issues guess Yamaha sucks 😂

So the service is great but what's up with Yamaha quality of their motors .sounds and looks like Yamaha quality of their motors is junk.since when does a lower unit go out and then the motor throw a rod on a brand new motor on a brand new boat ..I would have stuck with flicking mercury man
