Can you repost whatever you linked, it's not showing up.

 

Agree 1000%, he was pretty devasted over losing Lay on a dead fish.  

I was watching it while fishing, and what do you know my feed cut out a few anglers before Ben weighed in.

 

When I looked on the leaderboard my mouth about hit the floor.

 

My only guess is that he went swinging for the win, instead of his approach at Bug's Island.  That first day's bag put him in a position that he wasn't in at Bug's.  

 

Dang that stinks, I really want this dude to be the next goat, but fishing is just a different animal.   

He said there were boats all over his spots that produced in day 1 and plans B through Z didn't have fish.  Oh well.  On to the next one.  He's barely holding on to 9th in points now.  Let's see what he can do now that the pressure is on

Everybody ready for Eufaula?

Thanks, don’t know a thing about that one haha

I'm pumped, do or die for Milliken.    His main competitors have managed to still get top 10s or close to them at Buggs and Wheeler.    He's currently tied for 9th, the last spot to get in the Elite series which is more important to me than him making the Classic.  I want to watch this dude on Bass Live and in the Elite series.  

 

Top 10 or bust, let's GOOOOOOOOOOO!

He said it was the worst practice he's had.  Did you see the giant flathead he caught?

No I didn't see that.   Hope he gets it going, excited for the weigh in.

 

This dude needs to be on the Elite series or BPL so that we can watch him fish live.

I did just now see that post on FB, hopefully he's finding some slaunches right now.  

 

So many times you hear guys on the podium talking about how bad of practice they had yet they are in the top 10 in the actual derby, and vice versa.  

Some smallll bags man they're struggling so far

SLAUNCH DADDY got the big Bass so far at 6.5 

 

Overall 7th right now......come on Ben, put together another 17+ tommorow and make the cut.

Whoa, I hadn’t checked any results, nice job. Like I said don’t know about Oklahoma lakes but 6.5 is a great tournament fish anywhere , especially a 200 boat tournament 

If I’m not mistaken, that Lake Eufaula is the lake that I drove over on my way to TX. Absolutely gorgeous lake 

9.4 for his second day, not terrible, but I'm thinking he won't be fishing tomorrow.

 

Fingers crossed.   

Any SMB in this lake?

saw 3 weighed in b/t two days

Ben isn't fishing tomorrow. He finished in 22nd place. At the moment he is still 9th in overall points, but that could change after tomorrow.

I’m sure he’s not happy with how today went but a 22nd will help in the long run

As I suspected awhile ago, Trey Mckinney is destined to be an Elite Series angler, and if I'm keeping it real, he's the most impressive EQ angler including Milliken.  

Kid is 18 yrs old!!    Weigh in is about to start.

Kimura is already Elite qualified, so technically he moves up a spot as well

Feels like it's been a year instead of a month since the last tourney.  Who's ready for this weekend?
