This is THE END of Tournament Fishing for Me... 

Can we get a round of applause for Coleslaw and his wicked edits?

Congratulations on making the Elite series!!!!

I love the throwback music at 0:30 that was the old outro I believe

The frog shots that Slaw captured on the 5th day….top notch!

As long as you keep filming we'll keep watching! I've got 5 years invested in your content 😊

Man, we are all living vicariously through your fishing adventures. Don't ever stop! We are all in the boat with you, excited about every bite, every hookset. I, for one, am a fan. I've learned more about fishing in the past couple of years than i ever figured out on my own. Your content is second to none. Much love and respect to you, my brother. Tight lines for life!

Following you since the beginning journey. Much respect 🙏 🫡

Mission accomplished.I think this is the happiest I've been for someone I've never met before.Been watching from the start.Good luck fishing the pros.

Ben we all knew you had it in you! Not only did you win a derb and get into the classic but you also made the elites. In your first year fishing the opens. The 308 & 402 are rooting for you my man

I already know what happened, honestly I couldn’t be happier! I’ve been waiting for the videos to come out to watch the show! Congrats dude! You’ve went one time what most angler’s tried their life to do! Well deserved, keep up the fight!

That I'm so sorry, jeez takes me back to the beginning. You're the man Ben!

You done did it Milliken! Congrats! watching you set the hook never gets old. You betttttttt!!

Ben, been watching your videos for a few years now after a good friend put me onto them. I cut my teeth fishing in Southern Iowa on many of the same lakes in your earlier videos and since have been closely following you on your exciting EQ journey. So friggin stoked to see you absolutely crush it this season man! Your actions of hard work, pumping out amazing content, and catching big-uns are undeniable! Hats off to you!

I’ve followed you for awhile now. I’ve learned a lot from your swim bait fishing. I paint lures, and started repainting swim baits with hook rash. My son fishes with a bait that’s no less than 9 inches, and all of a sudden I’m painting lures. Glad you got in the Bass masters…I think you’ll be successful !

What a finish man! Took some big balls to film this and bet on yourself. I figured you’d qualify just based on your abilities and how you started off so hot. Congrats man! You’re living the dream of many! You’re still the reason I only use 6th sense baits and their other products (I have had great success using all their products).

Love to see a "RU-vidr" and amateur tournament angler getting it done. Learned alot about fishing big bait

Congratulations on making the eleites an the classic 2 major accomplishments i cant wait to see the videos from them! Ive been watchong you before the move to texas an followed your journey. You are an inspiration to what a fisherman should be you help others as much as possible. You spread information no one else is giving out. I hope you crush it on the classic an elite series i will be rooting for you every tournament!!

Well you made the correct decision! Been with you the whole way bro, man was I nervous for you the last day,but you did it. Try to make the best connections along the way,time on the water will make you a better fisherman,gooooooooood luck and let’s get ready to weigh em,(Dave Mercer quote lol)

If people still doubt you, then they have real issues. Great season. Good luck next year. Enjoy all the videos

The intro had your old outro song!!! Gotta bring it back

Proud of you dude! Can’t wait to meet you at the Classic. Do your thang chicken wang.

Lake Apopka at one time was one of the most polluted lakes in the chain. Decades of agricultural runoff basically killed the lake. But wow; the history of who frequented the fish camps that once thrived the area. Clark Gable, Al Capone and many politicians since the 1840’s.

The area view from the drone is phenomenal! KUDOS!!

It has been awesome watching you from the beginning of your RU-vid career “the roots” to where you have gotten to. Keep up the great work!!!! Been subscribed since the beginning and have enjoyed every video.

Congratulations Ben for making the Elites and the Classic!!! That’s Bad Ass!

Would love to see how you researched and broke down Harris Chain, and other “chain” lakes. So many choices on where to begin, the Kissimmee Chain and Harris Chain can be overwhelming, especially when there’s limited time for prefishing. Great vid as usual, homie. Much love from Dale Hollow.

Ben, you helped inspire me during my high school tournaments and its great to hear about the opportunity for youth teams to observe your talent in person! Keep being you🤟

There is black n blue, chatter, swimjig, worm, punch setup! All you need!

My MAN!!! Been waiting for these to drop! Dope video my dude. Amazing year and you did it my man. Amazing to watch you and be a fan! 💜💜💜 Keep’em cummin

Congratulations Ben!! A well deserved honor.

Congrats and well deserved brother!

Bigelow! From my hometown, rooting for him!

Congrats man...im tickled for anything that can help expose pro fishing to more folks...and you can

Congratulations Ben

Man that intro was 🔥!!! Nice job Coleslaw! Love watching you put it together somewhere you have never been when you need it most! When you put that much time and effort in it you got a shot of doing great things! Congrats again bro!

Great job finding fish in waters you have never fished before...Hope you do well in the tournament!

Late view, football got in the way. So stoked for you! Elites and the classic!! What a year. Coleslaw edits never miss

Harris chain looks like a fishing paradise

I'm not sorry I can't stop with a love like mine !!!!!!!!!! YES MY GUY!!!! Old time subscriber made very happy hearing that.

Let's Go Cold slaw!!! Thx for videography!!

Ben looks interesting 👀 thanks for sharing 🎣 congrats on your season. Good luck at the Classic

Prof in the intro👏one of the best things I learned on your channel was that dude. So cool that old man Ben 😂made the elites. Will anyone over 30 qualify again…

You are very good fisherman I would bet the farm you get the points you need your bad ass and a pleasure to watch

Congrats on the elites dude! Freekin awesome.

Great season!!! Can’t wait to see you hold up one of those blue 🏆next year! Good luck!

Ready to see you get called up on stage by the man the myth the legend Dave Mercer himself, loved your appearance on his show as well

I'm not sure about the rest of those lakes but lake apopka has some monsters. I get mad when I catch 3's there lol

That looked like a productive week of prefishn Ben. Hope you do well nxt year

Love that old Prof mix. Sounds better with the Zark flowing😂😂!!

I'm gonna buy some of those new Ned rig baits and you did a great job presenting them Ben and Cole

Congrats once again to the the nebraska ditch fisherman,.on accomplishing the what they said couldnt be done!

Good luck Ben, you're fishing my old stomping grounds

Congrats, on your season. Sweet videos coleslaw.

I can't stop with a love like miiiiiinnnneeeee. Take me back to simpler times ehhh!

Good luck 🍀🤞

Catch'um up Ben..

You need to find out where those 10 pounders are hiding! 😊

Between you making the classic and the elites and the Huskers with a real chance at going bowling being stuck in Nebraska sucks a lil less. GBR!

Time to smoke the boots off the elites. Well deserved and earned, brother. In the famous word of Larry the cable guy, git-r- done

Love seeing all the hard work that goes into a tournament. I'm always wondering - why is your livescope depth reading always so off? Or can you adjust that field to show a different number?

Wow! Congrats!Longtime follower!!

Congrats on making it into the elites. Couldn’t have happened to a better guy.

We believe in you Ben. You got this man. Ben for #1

Best vedio since I've been following you. Wow.!! super slaw at it again with imagination. Gotta dig it. My girlfriend and I say congrats to you and the family on making the elites. Peace.

Bro you are soo calm and collected while losing that 10 pounder 😅 I would have cried and broke my rod 😂😂

@19:35 man, oh man. They probably drive with the same awareness. " Ohhhhhhhh I oughtaa ""

Don't get eaten by a BIG OLE PYTHON! Your wife would be pissed!

Lake Apopka was a bold choice 😂 years ago there were stories on how polluted the lake was but hopefully its cleaned up. Its just ingrained in my brain as a place not to fish

Ben the fish are built different down here

What's up Ben, Slaw and Mfers. Been doing some Lip Rippin' recently and definitely use some of your techniques! Good shit as always! DEAL

congrats on making the elites and proving all the haters wrong 🎉

Just fished the highschool series there the weekend before u. That is a tough chain😭

Really hit all the feels in this one. So proud of you to make it to the elites. Life changing stuff. AND got a little prof in the intro… awesome.

man those lakes look cool to fish

Love the videos

Congratulations on making the elites. I knew from the time I started watching u that u would make it. I'm gonna call it now. Winner of 2024 classic and aoy

Lmao "Thick mat of...Dick weed" that's what I say all the time. I've learned a-lot of technique and to stray away from my comfort zone in lure choice due to you. Thanks for the content!

Congrats on making the Elites Love your videos

Only 397 boats!!! Had me rolling

Ben, you're one of those people I'd love to sit down and smoke a with. Being able to pick your brain would be sensation!

Try putting a windsock on your microphone

What is your favorite but not stupid expensive glide bait setup

Amazing episode ...phenomenal, beautiful scenes, excellent editing, music, great storytelling. And with so much on the line ....great fucking drama.
