I didn't know there was a b.a.s.s series 😳 like that I would love to fish something like that if you could send me a link or information about it that would be great 👍 👌 and I love your videos please keep up the great work and good luck this year 😀
Looking forward to seeing the new content. Good luck on the team tournaments too. I might see you this summer at Hubbard when you are in my neck of the woods.
That is awesome! Ever since I watched the videos of you chasing 30lbs of smallmouth up there, I am just in awe of the average size of the fish and how beautiful the landscape is with the clear water and the feeling that you are out in the middle of nowhere. I have a feeling I will fish in that area someday. Hopefully in the future.
Thanks Jose. I just needed som mental recalibration and to stop making excuses and feeling sorry to myself. This year can be the best if we choose to make it that
Hey Ben- I think these will be good changes for you. I agree with one of your subscribers who commented that you seem to be a regular guy with full-time job commitments and are a great family man that we all can relate to. I wish you the very best in all your upcoming team tournaments. I believe you and your partner will do great. I’m looking forward to all your wonderful tournament videos and other great content videos. I also wanted to encourage you that there are a lot of guys like me who really hope you are able to feel well enough about things in the future about that you seriously consider being on RU-vid for 2025. You bring great value to your members and I for one, would be glad to support you if you decided to monetize certain content to help you more financially. I wish you the very best for 2024 and beyond!!👍🏻👏🙏
Thank you so much Bob. All the comments mean a lot. I try to keep it real and positive and just relatable. I’m very much like a lot of the people that watch the vids - Work, spend time with family, and think about fishing almost every other waking moment 😂 We’ve been at the RU-vid thing since 2013, and had incredible opportunities because of it, and I’m just ready to re-double down and really do what I know I’m capable of. This year should be fun and I’m hoping this reignited passion from last year can help propel the motivation into recommitment. Thanks for everything Bob!
Hey! Pricing to start will be $100 per session. It’s fully customizable and we can deep dive on whatever topic, breakdown, technique or anything you’d like to cover
Just wanted to give Ben a shout out. Last year before he had any coaching service, he gave me great help in breaking down a couple lakes and steering me towards what to look for. Not giving me spots, but helping me understand what patterns should be occurring to give me a starting point. If you need some help, give him a shot.
Thank you so much man. I really appreciate the kind words. That’s my goal, I can’t give the silver bullet of where and exactly what to be doing, but I can arm people with the tools they need to have a really successful trip and dial it in for themselves!
Are you me, or am I you? 😂 I loved watching this, it was weird in a good way because literally everything you said about the goals and mental aspect behind it all is exactly the same decisions I've made, around the exact same conversations I've had with my closest friend. 2024 is an incredibly important year for me and the channel because of where I'm at in life and with my career. There's hopes and dreams that are tempered and challenged by obligations and bills to be paid. We'll see how it all shakes out. You're already in such a great spot and you've clearly done the work to help get the focus and perspective in the best place possible to make the most of your potential. I wish you the best for this year and beyond man. You're a good person who's down to earth, charismatic and easy to relate to. Be you, enjoy the process and challenge of putting what you can into the channel, and make the most of every opportunity you can!
I resonate with your comment so so much man. There are so many changes happening in life and also a huge commitment we feel as anglers/“RU-vidrs.” I think its going to be a make or break year where we can really push ourselves and validate our thoughts one way or another. If I can ever do anything to help let me know. We’ll be constantly in touch man 🙌🏻. Thanks for sharing this. I really appreciate your vulnerability because sometimes it helps when I feel alone in some of these thoughts
@@brnowak_fishing Yea man absolutely. You want to jump on the podcast again this week or next week? Happy to jump on yours as well, but regardless I'll be sharing everything that you do to help you in your journey this year as well. Team work makes the dream work, and I like helping good people.
Glad to hear your working on different things. Every time I see that champion I get melancholy, had 4 of them. Do what you have to do for your family and your lifestyle. Over the years I've had to slow down on the fishing thing to raise kids and work. The team thing is a cool deal.
I Can see that sharing this direction and these tweaks mean a lot to you Ben. That’s one of the reasons working with you is so fulfilling. Your passion for not only fishing, but serving and connecting with others shines through in all that you do. I Truly appreciate you mentioning our work in this video and am looking forward to getting out on the water with you “reel” soon (sorry, had to 😂).
I'd like a lake breakdown, then on the water fishing, then recap. so full circle of your trip. I also love all smallmouth content in general. Be nice if you showcased certain rods/reels as well and talked about the products, such as why they are good for the technique you're using and what you like about the products. Jerkbait videos are awesome.
I have tried to showcase stuff in the past but slacked a bit lately,so I’ll focus some more energy into that this year. Thanks for the suggestion! I love fishing a Jerkbait so more of those coming no doubt
I’m here for it man 🙌🏻 Just keep doing what comes natural and have fun.Your fans will always watch and support you ! I wouldn’t mind seeing you take that kayak back out this spring and catch a few smallies up shallow 🎣 Good luck in 2024 buddy your gonna do great
I definitely don’t see it as a change so much as a diversification of the content you’re providing. You’ve been a huge inspiration already to so many of us and I look forward to being here for the changes and sharing with this community. Thanks for letting us be a part of it! Good luck on the tournament series - you’re gonna do great! Stoked to be along for the ride! Omnia Premium Pro is going to be a total game changer. Looking forward to it!
This is a great way to put it…really just building on what we have with a focus on rebuilding the “community” interaction. Your words mean a LOT more than you know. I am looking forward to this year and what we can build
Heck ya a blue color angler with a full time job, that has an older boat. I think the overwhelming majority of us can relate. I appreciate a guy who busts his tail and earns it. Kudos my friend.
@@michaellamb1342 thank you so so much. It was easy to get disconnected and discouraged seeing what pro fishing is evolving into at times. I got to reconnect to my passion for the sport this year going to the older Champion and it made me really enjoy it again
You're a beauty bro. Always thinking of ways to help the fishing community. You are the one who helped start me on my smallie fishing journey and I will always be grateful for that and the experiences I've had with you both behind the screen and on the water.. stay slaying them brother, cannot wait for the changes and watch your journey in different ways. Appreciate ya always brother! 👊
All love brother, I will get to Michigan soon!! Cannot wait to get back out there with you. Tell Derds the 🔨 to save you some fish this year in the team trail! Lol you guys are gonna put a hurtin on em 💪 can't wait to see you guys break down water together. 🤙
