Love your style and energy bro keep that enthusiasm and positivity that focus and drive ! When things go wrong make that rage or outburst the switch to turn back to your normal self with the drive focus and positive don’t like one or 2 negatives turn into a spiral when your out there fishing . The best of the best are the best because of their mentality and focus . Everyone misses shots (misses fish) breaks a line whatever … the best don’t let it change their mindset. Like Kobe Jordan you see an outburst but immediately it’s that switch to tell them just focus stay positive and what happens next one swish ! Keep head up stay positive I promise you add that and you will see your average finish rise your top 10s rise winning more 🏆 you have what it takes !

Dude ure prolly the smartest guy on tour of you think unionizing is a good idea, u have 0 voice as an angler outside the court of public opinion, bass can do whatever they want totally unchecked, ure entry fees should also not be subsidizing the org, how 100 percent of the entry fees aren’t paid back to the anglers is a joke

Been following you the whole time in the elites man!! Keep it up, love ya buddy. I Rock your merch everywhere to support ya. People always ask who ya are so getting your name out there as well!!

I absolutely love the vids you put out man! Caught my first big bait fish just the other day. Thanks Ben! Your a hammer!

I don’t care how you fished. I’ve Ben lol wanting to say this for awhile. We’re all so proud of you!!! Coming from just following your dream to making it a reality. You’re an inspiration my dude. I’ve watched you’re videos from bank fishing spillways to now you’re in the bass master classic!!! Keep slaying it brotha, you’re doing amazing!! Much love from 303

To see you go from walmart challenges to the Bassmaster Classic is insane! Inspiring is an understatement. Congratulations!

I learned so much about fishing watching your videos, I remember when you asked your wife to quit your day job! I am so proud of you for crushing it on KZread! Keep it up brother and when I make it I’ll invite you down to do some saltwater fishing.

You are amazing bro!!! The NEXT BIG THING!!! You are an inspiration my guy.

There is something about watching this that really hits home. Oh yeah, this is the reality of the 46 Anglers who fished there butts off and didn't get in the top 10. This is how 95% of all Angles carriers go, maybe 99%. Thank you for your hard work. Keep your head held high. You've made it.

No mindset, just breath and fish. Only true outside of family that's still pure.

Love these edits 👍

Man that boat still catches my eye. I really like that wrap bro. Keep it up Ben we pulling for ya.

I think after that bass boat crash a couple months ago in a no wake canal; they are really pushing guys to follow the rules of the waterway. Safety cannot take a back seat when there are a couple hundred bass boats flying around.

@@dnunley423 a lot of fish caught with baits that have multiple treble hooks are hooked on the outside of the mouth. I'd say it happens around 30% of the time. No one fishes for bedding bass with moving baits such as cranks, jerks, or topwaters, it's usually done with soft plastics and a single hook. Sure it's a gray area and that particular rule could be manipulated, but anyone with a little common sense knows the difference .

Yep, you’re finding out what BASS is all about; not the anglers.

F the appeals process this is the reason why all anglers should band together and form a fishing league run for us By us. I'm not an angler but I love watching fishing videos and enjoy fishing and only have been fishing maybe two times in my life and I'm 47 but any way back to the fishing league ran for us by us. You guys spend insane money on entry fees, fuel , places to stay and if you win you get a 100,000$ check and second gets 30,000 and on down to 10,000 . My question is where does all the entry fee money go. All the anglers should start 1 pro fishing league for us by us and cut out the middle man . All sponsors will come with the anglers in this day and age the angler is more valuable than the league but it's not being ran like that. Trust and believe if all the top anglers in the world band together start a pro league trust me anglers will start fishing for 500,000 to win a tournament and 50,000 to finish in the money. The fishing industry is that popular you guys no longer need Bass or the MLF tour why so the CEOs of those leagues can make all the money c'mon guys band together.

No appeal process? Yeah, that has to change.

After getting that penalty I would just run through all the no wake zones now it's not like there going to be able to give u another penalty on the same day

😮 Do what your told ! Rules are Rules

You could always step up to real fishing and start catfishing tournaments LOL. Did this happen on a practice day the violation?

I’m not sure a union would work in fishing. The rosters are always in flux and the dues are expensive. Unions are designed for larger groups of workers that don’t leave. They generally make similar money and work in similar conditions. A fisherman is an independent contractor who files 1099. You don’t have an organization to unionize, the company is not providing benefits. I think what you are seeking is oversight or an avenue for appeals. I get it. Look at football, they have all that, but at the end of the day whatever Goodell decides is law. I would steer clear of “fishing politics.”

You broke the rules and got caught and I am surprised no appeal unless you got a ticket
