Looks like he hit it hard! Those things are brutal Two others put holes in their boats on that exact same buoy as well.....this was all caused by B.A.S.S., and holding a derby where they didn't have adequate ramps to handle the load. Ben talks about it on BTL Quote

Sure they hit the buoy, but B.A.S.S. created the situation for them. Really hate seeing that, that's practically a brand new fully loaded Caymas. Dream rig. Quote

Sure they hit the buoy, but B.A.S.S. created the situation for them. Couldn't possibly disagree more. Being on plane, on ANY body of water, IN THE DARK is an accident waiting to happen. Especially in unfamiliar water. Akin to turning the headlights off on your truck at highway speed. Why ? The act itself was part of my job description for at least 10 years before Mr MILLIKEN was born. Often times a matter of life and death, still unsafe. I Never do it now. Safe operation is solely the responsibility of the vessel operator. Always will be. Criminal & Civil Liability is attached every time any boat leaves the dock. Just like a vehicle. A-Jay 2 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted September 27, 2023 Global Moderator Posted September 27, 2023 I about hit one of those main channel buoys in the dark back in my younger days, I rarely go over 10-15 mph in the dark anymore, usually more like 5-7 mph. Slow enough to where it’s a minor impact when ramping floating logs . 1 Quote
Super User AlabamaSpothunter Posted October 13, 2023 Super User Posted October 13, 2023 LET'S GO BENNY MILLS! 20.14 currently in 2nd place. Might be fishing tomorrow on FS1! Let's go, please make it to FS1 Ben! 2 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted October 13, 2023 Global Moderator Posted October 13, 2023 He also said he’s never fished in FLA before 1 Quote

I think the common denotator is that he excels fishing for big FLGM, Ben seems to be in play more on big Bass fisheries. Eufaula, Toledo Bend, and now Harris Chain. He sucked at the grinders, and also sucked at the SM events up north but I suspect that will change in the future. 3/9 events he's fished extremely well....might just be enough to get him on the Elite Series next year.

Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted October 14, 2023 Global Moderator Posted October 14, 2023 Bobby lane is cracking me up. He broke off a bait under a dock and picked up another rod and casted it right into the dock. Then he says “so I’ve got no fish in the box on a very important day…… all I gotta do is keep banging docks like I just did……” 1 Quote
Super User AlabamaSpothunter Posted October 14, 2023 Super User Posted October 14, 2023 Man I wish BASS would hire better IT people, BASS Live is a joke most days, whether it's audio issues, or now today they've missed 30mins of action by not having transitioned from FS1 to Bass Live....seriously disappointing, and hard to be a fan when you can't follow the sport.

Super User AlabamaSpothunter Posted October 14, 2023 Super User Posted October 14, 2023 MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.....wow way to go Mr. Milliken, can't wait to watch him on BASS Live next year all the time on the Elites as BASS is going to really showcase him next year I'm sure. Other the Ben, BASS has to be the most happy that he snuck in there. Let's Go MFers! 1 Quote

Kirtley Howe Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 Well...Not a bad year for Ben. 9th in the Angler of the Year, secured a birth in the Elites. Won a tournament so he is fishing the classic. Guess this guy is for real. 2 Quote

hokiehunter373 Posted October 14, 2023 Author Posted October 14, 2023 Wait I thought he was 10th? Came here disappointed and now he’s in? Amazing Edit: Wait is it cause of Kenta? Hot dayum! 1 Quote

Amazing Edit: Wait is it cause of Kenta? Hot dayum! He actually got 9th, so he would have been in either way, but he started out the day in 10th, which was the last spot because of Kenta, mid day he was as high as 12th, and then he finished in 9th. Absolute rollercoaster of a day for him. Quote

Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted October 15, 2023 Global Moderator Posted October 15, 2023 I was at a football game all day, good to hear Milliken made it! Cinderella story………. might be the first YouTuber to be a solid tourney angler . plenty of great tourney anglers do YouTube but not the other way around 3 1 Quote
