BTL, coming at you.

Good morning and welcome to another exciting edition of BTL.

Bass Talk Live where we are going to talk about bass fishing and yes.

It is time for another edition of the Bass Master Open Elite Qualifier,

the Bass Master Open EQ Tournament right down this time from the recently concluded Bugs Island or Kerr Reservoir in Virginia.

And as always we will be joined with, well at this point I think you could say at the man the myth and the legend,

none other than Ben Milliken who had a good event at Bugs Island,

all things considered and did fall to fifth in the EQ standing.

So we'll talk to see if he's feeling the pressure if he sees he's,

I don't think he feels pressure.

I really don't.

I think he's three tournaments in but we'll talk to Ben.

I know Ben was working on getting some stuff together with his truck.

We have a very quick turnaround practice starts this Saturday on Wheeler Lake for the fourth open EQ.

So big shout out to Ben for jumping on before we get to Ben though.
