    Is it me or is Ben Milliken getting shunned on the live coverage?

    I watch a video of Ben slamming the way the sponsorship and extra moneys mainly going to big corporations now verses a few years ago. Is it me or is he getting less coverage on the Bassmaster Elite Live mix at Toledo Bend.

    Cell coverage is probably spotty and going in and out. I doubt BASS is gonna shun anyone that brings as big an audience as he does to them.

    Seems like he has had his fair share of coverage.
    Just be kind to one another. It really is that simple.

    He's one of the few with a camera, I think that answers your question.

    That pretty well answers any doubts. Especially on day 1. Great point.

    I am a bit surprised that none of the announce team picked him for ROTY.

    BASS knows what they have. Not all of the MFers that aren't currently following BASS will but some for sure will since Milliken is fishing it.

    He's going to get plenty of coverage

    Wait until he weighs a 35lb bag tomorrow. They may use his hat cam for the broadcast He's got something up his sleeves. He's just that good!

    Yep, he’s a big draw but at the end of the day I think sponsors and sponsorships are going to get the bulk of TV coverage as they are where the money comes from? JMHO

    Yeah and for all the haters of his youtube videos as if his open win last year and qualifying for the elites wasnt enough atleast they get to see if he can actually catch fish now..

    Seen a lot of air time for Hackney, Christie, Brandon, Welcher and Milliken. I haven't seen one minute of Kyoya today. Those catches would have been great to see live.

    I've been watching today and have seen Milliken most of the day. He's catching fish, just not giants. I like it when they go to the 4 anglers and a few catch a fish at the same time.
    Been fishin' since I was 5 years old...Thanks Grandpa!
