Most of those decals on the jerseys are for 15% discount on merchandise.

Bro I have been watching you for years. Puts a tear s in my eyes seeing you compete and and being successful. Wish you best of luck and me and my boys will be routing for you in the classic

Having the zark inbound on standby is an immediate guaranteed top 10 finish

It may sound silly but I have been with so long I really feel a part of all of this. Great job SIR

The awesome part is he doesn’t care about the sponsors he doesn’t need them to have to fish. He’s got his own following his own thing going on so he can shotgun a beer and have fun with the people and not worry about his image getting tarnished in the sponsors, leaving him.

Time for the Wizard Man to fish the Opens nxt year, Shake it N Bake it..

Yes..with some black and miles..I enjoy it when he’s on there with Ben

Super cool to watch this and see your engagement with your fans! You are creating memories for all those that came to meet you!

Well done! The effort and passion are evident.

That view from behind watching that big bait float thru the air like that is cool as hell. It's so cool to see Ben shut a bunch of cats up that do nothing but root against him.

@noahhaselwood no need to fish any classic for money. I fish almost every day on Grand for fun. He didn't prefish the lake adequately. He misread the lake and instead probably relied on old videos for brushpiles. I actually watched him prefish the lake. He spent a lot less time on the lake compared to others. #facts

ZAAAARRRRRK!!!!!!!!!!! Shake and bake, baby!!!!

Another extremely well done video. Great work as always Ben and team! You guys rock. Way to be real with the fans. Kudos to all the autographs and meet and greets you do.

G'day Ben, to make the final day, finish in 5th Place overall, in your very FIRST BassMaster's Elite event, is absolutely freaking EPIC mate! Good onya Ben. Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺.

Great job! Not many have ever done what you just accomplished! Have a great year my friend!

Badass content as always. Amazing fishing Ben. Amazing camera work.

Bubba bass that dam kid is destined to be a legend with a name like that

Loved this video! I feel the electricity in the air! Congrats Ben!

Keep being you! Never change. Sign autographs, take pics, shotgun a beer…..and before you know it, half the crowd will be rocking the 402. From KZreadr to Bassmaster Elite. That’s an incredible story. Get to do what you love and get paid on two fronts for the content and the bass. Routing for you!

Living your dreams and doing it well glad I've been fan and student on your channel since pretty much the beginning.

8 am Tomorrow morning can’t get here soon enough AND you get a camera in your boat.. let’s Goooooo!!!!!

Good luck Ben, He's there for the fans and humble. awesome

Great footage. Keep catching em on tight lines!

Awesome video man!!! Congratulations 🎉 see ya next time!!

So SICK Ben!!! I have been disciplined and not looked at results and stayed out of the shop at my lake so I won't hear. Just trying to get to go on the adventure you are choosing to present to us here on KZread and it's SO epic thus far! Can't wait for the next vid. Absolutely killing me. Good luck

HUGE fan Ben! You killed it out there day 1 today! Some good bites and as the wind came in them hawgz started moving! Let’s go!!!

Can't wait to watch you in the classic! Go get em!

Dude, I can't stop smiling! I'm so happy for you! Keep living up to your potential! You Bettt!

Absolutely love these videos!

I grew up wanting to be a professional bass angler as a kid, but as I got older I stopped following the sport as much(I have always kept fishing). Watching your videos for years and seeing you get on the elite series has me so excited to watch. I am following all of the coverage and am anxiously awaiting the live coverage of the classic, I wish you all the best!

I’m pumped to see you get what you deserve. You have busted your tail to get where you are at . Look forward to seeing you get to the top maybe a spot on major leaving fishing .

When u have fun, anything possible. Good stuff Ben

You Bet!!! Awesome job Ben!!

Grats man! We are not surprised at your placement. You put the effort in, and get results. I'm also glad to see you taking the time for fans, shirt/hat signings, and even time to shotgun a beer!! That speaks volumes. BZ.

Great job Ben. Proud of you brother

Awesome Ben! Great pattern change. I was yelling at my tv do the opposite tomorrow!!! Good luck you got this!

The shot gun😂😂ben your a man of the people! Best of luck!

Awesome Stuff!!! GOOD luck tomorrow and this weekend at the classic! See you at the weigh in!!!

So cool Ben, congratulations.... Keep it going.... I remember watching videos where you were fishing and still working your sales job..... And then the video where you quit your job.... Just seems like yesterday...Rawk n Roe!!!

"Cinderlla stoooory here at the Bassmaster, hes gotta bout 12 lber looking at his glide, oooh its in the boat !!Its in the boat! Hes done it folks!"

Dude!! Awesome video man!! Good luck in the Classic man 🎣 🔥

Hell yeah! Great job getting into the top 10, I hope you smashed them the next day.

Congrats on making the top 10! That's awesome my man! It's all gravy from there.

Awesome comeback!!

Loved seeing all the interaction with the MFrs, very cool

What a giant crappie!! That was easily the coolest catch 😂

Good luck today, Ben! Watching the tournament live this morning.

THE MILLIKEN TRAIN IS ROLLING!!!!!!! YOU JUST BRING SMILES WHEN YOU FISH AND TALK TO THE CROWD. GO MILLIKEN

I'm a Marshall for Smith lake in June, I hope so bad that I draw you, I want to learn how to be effective and efficient with my livescope and there's no better to learn from and have a good time doing it.

Congratulations. Well done.

Great video. Thank Ben.

This dude dope as hell that’s what’s up. Good luck

Dude! I remember watching the video when you announced you were quitting your job and doing YT fishing full time (don’t ask me exactly when that was, several beers since then😂). And now the entire journey to get to this. Awesomely done!!!

You are my new favorite, love your attitude, personality, style an of course you a bad azz fisherman 👍

I love how awesome you are with the kids. Way to crush em !

Thanks for the ride!

Well done buddy , Chase the dream 👏 😊

Ive noticed in the last several months you keep saying how terrible you have been at talking to the camera. I believe this is the next evolution of your channel. I've been watching for years, and even though you dont talk as much, what you say is just as impactful. Keep doing what you do and people will still be here to watch it.

Grats on a top 10 man. I said it before, and I’ll say it again, but I truly believe that you’re the next best thing in the sport!

I am loving all the pro videos.. i dont care if i already know exactly what happened on everyday lol.. thats damn good entertainment

Great tournament on the Bend!!!!! Good luck in the classic…..

I've always loved fishing and have always wanted to compete at the top level, I'm 29, my goal is by time I'm 33 I can get myself a beautiful boat and hopefully by 35 I can get a chance to compete at the top level! You really are an inspiration man, thanks for being part of this fishing community!

Kick ass in my home state, I am pulling for you to win again!!

Hope you’ve had a blast all week in Oklahoma for the Classic! Enjoy.!!!…and kill it these next 3 days! We’ll be watching.

Never a doubt, but congratulations anyways!! You're an absolute friggin legend!! Good shit as usual. DEAL

Gave me chills watching you take the lead

Congrats on making the top 10 in your first Bassmaster tournament!

amazing sir, just awesomeness

Congratulations on the Top 10. It's been awesome watching you through your journey. Keep up the great work. Tite lines.

Inspiration for a lot of people. We see you Ben.

Dave Mercer seems like such an awesome dude! I hope bassmaster and the anglers give him the recognition he deserves.

G'day from Australia mate I like to see you standing on the number 1 position on the winners podium in your red 402 jumper. Keep on keeping on. Regards B.J.

Never give uppppppp!!!!!!!

Hell yeah brother!! Wrecked em. Great job. Sunday should be a smash fest with them all moving to the bank. A little sight fishing extravaganza maybe. Good luck ,!! Your livin the dream bro. A lot of us tried hard .. For one reason or another it just never jelled and came together.. I've learned over the years!! When you're supposed to be walking on that path, no matter what it is in life!! It just falls into place effortlessly.. Im happy as crap for you Ben. Your gonna be great at it 💪💪💯. Man i have to also say that if i was in your shoes i would of chosen a big ol bass cat also. They look like they Are doing 80mph sitting still dont they?? Ive studied and researched them. But never rode in one yet. Are they really nice on the water running In the narlly stuff ??? They have that wide beam. Kinda like a Big O boat. I loved them when they first came out in the 80s. Anyway!! Wack tomorrow big dog. Were rooting for you. 🔥🙏🙏🇺🇸💯💪

I saw you at the weigh in rooting for ya

fishing with you guys would be friggin awesome

Awesome 👏

congrats on making it this far , most never doubted. lets show out for the classic and hopefully Nebraska can make it to the elite eight

Heck of a job brother! I know you are sponsored, but it's really cool to see a boat and jersey that can't be bought.

OHHHH YEAAAA BOUT TIMEEE

He had so many bass he was messing with crappie😂 can’t wait for more tourney videos.
