Why is there so much bass fishing beef and drama with Ben Milliken and Randy Blaukat in the YouTube internet world? And who is living rent free in who’s head? Why does Milliken Fishing so proudly talk about Forward Facing Sonar versus Randy Blaukat Fishing who listens to his fans and subscribers to say it’s the death of professional bass fishing and should be banned? Here’s my take on the drama that has stirred up the bass fishing community between Ben Milliken and Randy Blaukat and why there might be some jealousy and hatred for each other.

Honestly, there is no jealousy on Randy's part because he wasn't familiar with Ben's name until more than a year ago. It was only after I asked Randy on his channel if he knew about Ben Milliken bad mouthing him horribly during Oliver Ngy's Live Stream, even slandering Randy's reputation at the time, can I confirm that he knew about it. Not until a month ago did Randy ever mention Ben at all on his channel, only because Ben kept putting Randy's picture in a mocking way on his thumbnails, like he was thirsty for some attention from Randy.
So he just made one episode about Ben, including Ben's picture in the thumbnail, and it triggered Ben and his followers like the greatest sin in bass fishing had been committed. Immediately after that drop, Randy's channel has been getting trolled to no end by Ben's subscribers. Yes, there were trolls on Randy's channel before Randy made the video, but afterwards it was like a brigade of Ben's sycophants were dedicated to trolling Randy like some cancel culture campaign. Ben should have been aware of what he was doing and how his followers would react from the very beginning of his "outing" Randy as if he was some kind of vicious predator.
Since I first mentioned it to Randy, I did say that l let Ben know how unfair and disrespectful he was being in my own special way. And I concluded in saying that "we/I" had his back. That's when Randy started mentioning the term "You guys have my back".
Which I still kind of do, or I wouldn't be mentioning any of the drama in this comment. I say, "sort of", because Randy let everyone know a couple of days after that pay back episode that he is pretty much a liberal Democrat by agreeing with one of his viewers (not even a member) about having voted for Beijing Biden before and having no problems voting for him again. That was more than enough for me to cancel my +1 year long membership I had with his channel. I still respect Randy for being a fighter (literally) and for his hard earned wisdom and decades long experience in the Pro Bass Fishing World. I really liked his simple and insightful approach.
But, he probably still leans left because of what George W did to our country's economy and reputation, and hasn't gotten over it.
That definitely does not mean Ben is any better politically, as you mentioned. I was made aware of his liberal democrat perspective more than a year ago, when he mentioned how much he loved LaChina James of the LA Lakers. I never really liked Ben's disrespectful Bipolar and vicious attitude anyway. All he did was prove that he really had no redeeming qualities this past year.
Since then, I could care less about either of their opinions on anything, and blocked their channels from my stream.
GOOD RIDDANCE!
I respectively disagree with Randy being jealous of Ben's accomplishments all be it Ben is a great angler with a bright future he hasn't as of yet reached the level at which Randy had in his hay day. Crazy I just left Randy's latest video coming here. I really honestly believe Randy is concerned about what the future holds for the fish as a species not just Bass per say but all sport fish . Guess ya could say conservationist or something to that affect. But as I commented on his video IMO FFS is the least of our worries wit way the world is going and headed. While filling out paper work at docs office other day there were3 or 4 more boxes you could choose to check in the gender section and HE may get angry seeing how HE only created man and woman and higher ups trying to play HIM and create others. But hey looking forward to Fantsy Fishinglol. Oh lastly they need to start a senior division as Golf has.and no FFS for the Senior Division just old school flashers and Creme worms lol .or something to that affect .
Randy is the only one out there with the balls & the heart to say how he feels……And anyone over 35 years old who can honestly say that the direction that bass fishing has gone doesn't HURT (as in break their fucking heart) either is lying, or really has no business behind the helm of a bass boat. (A little harsh there….but hey🤷♂️).
I like Ben, he's a good dude…..but I feel like he needs to cool his jets. The newfound fame hasn't fully adjusted in him yet. I think he'll have a wake-up call soon enough. 👍
Back when I young the flasher was considered to be cheating! The only things you needed was how to read a map and know your seasonal patterns! And every technology after that was at one time or another was called cheating! You can’t get away from people’s opinions and you know what the saying about opinions are,lol!
I think some people just don’t want to learn it and that’s fine! Keep up the great work and always enjoy and learn from you!
I stopped watching Randy because of his content and way out there opinion on almost everything. Ben is a hard worker but for the love of God just let an old dog lie.. Although I am not a fan of FFS I would never spend what Randy wants for one of his "elite+++" jigs. I can make a better jig then that! That being said I can't wait for the next salvos to be fired LOL. Thanks for sharing.
I can't watch anything Randy has to put out. Randy is the most negative person I think in the fishing industry. He is so far behind on things he will never try. So, I think Ben is in his head more than anything.
Good video
Spotlighting shouldn’t be allowed in pro fishing! My opinion, yes, and that opinion will NEVER change!
I definitely agree ,Ben is a much better content creator. I think they both spend too much time talking about each other. Click bait that keeps me from watching either of them
Ben’s a disgrace
Ben hasn’t tried to get Randy DQ’ed.
Randy is older , been around for years
Go Steve 🎣
Ben is making young people all over internet laugh at the old pathetic boomer.
Randy is making boomers like me embarrassed to be a boomer. He is so lost.
Who's Randy??
