As a fisherman and a scientist, I am addicted to your videos. I could fish and tag fish all day. It would make my day if you graph the data and show a geotagged map of the pond. Keep posting.
He does graph it doesn’t he?
I live in one of the most densely populated places in North America (Downtown Core, Toronto, Canada). This channel is straight up therapy for me sometimes- it helps me forget the day. And as someone who shares your passion for maps and graphs, I completely 100% agree.
Freshwater prawns don't require brackish water, heck; we have freshwater prawns in the concrete irrigation canals in central California and prawns are often cultivated in the rice paddies in central and northern California.
Those mosquito fish were likely decimating any freshly hatched prawn larva. If you want the prawns to breed successfully, they'll need cover of some sort for the larva to hide in.
Use to make PVC frames with 1/4 in mesh spaced about 2 or 3 inches part for cover for the fry. This was at a deer lease and we’d feed the prawns the scraps from what ever game was taken. Scoop a few out for use in the bass pond. Worked like gang busters. Minnow traps to keep the mosquito fish at bay.
Most likely a lot will die off because it's not brackish water but it shouldn't make a huge difference though I doubt any will survive the bass
I agree, mosquito fish are noxious, should have gone with Melanotaenia fluviatilis or M. duboulayi imo
If you have a lot of tilapia deaths your ammonia levels with get dangerous for the other fish
@@Aiken47 he didn’t put the mosquito fish, eggs just get carried from ducks to separate bodies of water.
You just popped up on my feed. Youuuuuu sonofabisch..... 20 minutes and I do believe I'm as hooked as your aggressive bass. Wild project, beautiful scenery, attention to detail, and all around pure relaxing entertainment. Thank you!
Those two falcons are definitely Kestrels. You can tell by the bluish grey on their wings. They are tiny falcons that basically only eat small song birds or insects. We have a few at are sanctuary. Super cool little birds. They're like 100ish grams so they are tiny. The males have more bluish grey so you can tell which one is which. Also the females are slightly bigger than the males, like most raptors. Super cool to see though. Love the natural wildlife videos! Keep it up!
Just commented this
Something to note, the owl at 24:10 was a barred owl. But the owls you usually see on the pond are great horned owls. Pretty neat.
Yep definitely Barred
and 'hooter' and 'owl capone' are great horned owls FOR SURE.
That is also the owl we heard.
The owl was barred from the property?? Lmao…. 😮😊😅😂
@TheAlmighty896 Shit trash🤣
You should reach out to native habitat project (guy is located in Alabama I think). He is really passionate about restoring native prairies and wildlife populations. Since you like doing experiments and such, you could maybe do a small plot of native, no mow prairie and see how different it is than planting the food plots for your deer and wildlife.
Yes!!! Kyle Lybarger. He is up in northern Al. Great dude!!!
I love his videos about controlled burns
I would love that 😻
Those fresh water prawns are some of the best eating shrimp there is.
Been watching since day 1, just absolutely insane how much life has prospered in this pond thanks to you!
I always look forward to 5-acre pond updates!
I love the drone shots of the bass feeding, It is always cool to watch new bits of nature you have never seen before
Ok
Yes! I thought they were solitary ambush predators!
I love seeing updates on the pond. I live in GA and i hope to be able to do something like this at some point in time. Just a serene pond to relax at and harvest from time to time.
Early congrats on 1 million subscribers!! It's wild how much your channel has blown up over the past couple years.. this pond series if without a doubt my favorite on UA-cam.
The birds you saw are kestrels they just have a thing known as ocelli which give them those false eyes on the back of their heads. The feet have different colors that can vary based on location, diet, sex, age and genetics
I fixed my comment based on reply, thanks for the clarifications.
It is not genetics or location that determines foot color. the feet color varies based on DIET and age. Younger birds are not able to build up extra beta carotene which is what makes the feet go from yellow -> orange -> a very reddish shade of orange.
@@geoffhirschi803It also makes sense that different locations will come with different diets, and thus different feet colors.
@@geoffhirschi803 It is genetics and location... Location -> determines what they eat.... Genetics -> determine how they metabolize beta carotene. :)
@@geoffhirschi803 alot of birds feet change color during breeding season too
@@geoffhirschi803location would change the diet
Those bass are GROWING! Nice to see. Love the methodical, disciplined approach you've taken to this project. It's become quite the experiment and makes for damned good entertainment.
Wow a bass is growing!
You have a great pond and I enjoy watching the critters. Living the good life there.
Been watching the entire Crimson Oak 5 acre pond build! It's awesome the bass are growing great! Love it man!
You should test using a white colored lure mimicking tilapia and a bluegill colored lure and see which is more effective. Love the progress
I second this!
Could probably hook a piece of grass for lure and catch a bass
Yea
You should have an underwater scanner at the dock always active to see what bass swims by.
Great idea!
Fantastic idea
He’s already got plans for multiple
This is my favourite youtube content of all time. I love how passionate you are about it, its such a pleasure to watch
Definitely move him to the aquascape pond then feed him protein pellets and other protein packed meals as much as you can. It would be interesting to see how quickly he'd grow compared to the other bass.
I’ve practically memorized the intro at this point, but I never get bored of these videos and I’m always excited for a new one. This is simply the best series on UA-cam.
“Folks at home…” it’s becoming a classic.
I will admit I do skip them now but its funny cause every week it grows longer and longer so I have to skip further and further.
Your channel as well as you efforts are amazingly enjoyable to view. Thank you for all of your efforts to share with us.
I absolutely love your little laugh when you catch a fish. I can sure hear the joy in your voice and it reminds me of my daddy fishing when I was a kid.
The fishing and tracking weights is really great - I could watch an hr of this easily
I love to put Tiger in the new pond. It’ll be fun to track his growth against the ones in the big pond after one year.
I second that 👍
yuss
Yeah I would love to see that as well
In the aquascape for Tiger it is
+1
I am humbled by your ability to make such a nice paradise.
Thanks for filming it
I'm always in bed before your video drops but always enjoy it on my way to work on Mondays. Congrats on such an incredible pond and on doing such a great job sharing it.
I absolutely love fishing small ponds…and this project is so fascinating to see the tag data.
I live near Castaic CA, and it’s a good sized lake. I try to pay attention to the different marking/scar stuff on the fish I catch. I’ve caught the same bass several times.
This is the best series on UA-cam.
All your hard work turned this channel to National Geographic for most of us .
Amazing Pond.
With love and admiration from New Zealand.
The way you’ve documented so much about your pond build is very impressive. The spreadsheet you are compiling is very detailed. Are there any other entities interested in what you’re doing? (Universities, feed companies, etc)
Always brightens my day to see another pond video. What a cool project.
Kestrels for sure. I have six nesting boxes. They're mouse/vole specialist. The 'windows' in the primary feathers are the 'tell'. Peregrines don't have them.
plus the fact that those rich brown colours are never seen on Peregrines.
I've seen several that I thought were falcons, but at the same they couldn't be. So I concluded they had to be kestrels which I didn't know we had up in new England.
Those brown colours can also been seen on the hobby or Merlin. Both small birds of prey and both very adept at catching dragonfly’s
@@danglyballs
Hobby no - but merlin yeah, sort of, but the rich rufous brown of the male's tail is never seen on either. Merlin's probably the most likely confusion species for a female American Kestrel though.
It's sooo cool slowly seeing the bass fight harder and harder over time!
These vids have been better and better everytime. Love the deer in Bonnie's bayou also. That October full moon was closer than ive ever seen in NJ. Thanks for everything we appreciate the hard work. GOD BLESS y'all
I'm a longtime birder: Defiantly a Kestral, unless, the other choice would be a "Sparrow Hawk". Peregrins are my favorite bird, as well as Cooper's Hawks, found in most neiborhoods across the nation. Both are larger than Kestral's. the Kestral's (or maybe sparrow hawks?) shown here are a breeding pair and fully grown. I call the hawks "Ghostbirds" because if you see them they're sure to disappear before your eyes, lol. I even named my bass boat the Ghostbird, lol
Yeah most definitely kestrel, growing up we had both kestrels and peregrine's. Kestrels are about half a pound at full size where the peregrines are about 2lbs.
Another birder here and I agree
Another birder. I agree, too. Definitely a kestrel. Ive never heard of a perergrin eating dragonflies but have seen kestrels eat them. Plus perergrins are bigger than these birds.
I agree. And to add a Peregrine is much larger 30 - 40 ounces compared to an American Kestrel at 4-6 ounces.
@@AverageSulli Yep. The Cooper's hawks are just slightly smaller than the peregrines, and what folks see more of. Both incredible flyers and can pick off a songbird midair. I'm in the country. I have a large "Snow on the Mountain" shrub that grows really dense by my platform feeder. After the Blue jays sound the alarm, they stay still in it while the Cooper's hawk sits right there waiting for one to try to escape, one time it was over an hour!
We needed more of the green light bass feeding. Love to watch those bass blow up.
Thanks for the awesome series. It makes my day when I see a pond update video has released. Keep up the great work!
Those prep meals look incredible, wish they were available in the UK!
Thanks for the content, I’m obsessed with this video, I watch with my son and it’s inspired me to move out of central London and get a place in the country to start fishing and doing outdoor activities with with 2 kids 👍
Almost to a MILLION!!!! Good Job guy!
I swear 28 mins isn't long enough!! I need more!!!!
I absolutely love what you are doing! I wish i had the resources to do that! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!
I been watching this for 2 years im proud of your progress i remember when only 2k would watch now you getting millions of veiws and your also inspiring us and me to make our own pond thanks Bama Bass
Up here in Michigan we use steel wash tubs with holes drilled in bottom for drainage and owls nest in them every year. U can screw them to a existing tree with multiple limb groupings. As high as u can get it.
We then clean them out once a year after there babies have flown the nest.
Do their babies stay nearby?
You don’t understand how much I look forward to your videos and getting updates. Thanks for everything and all you do for all the wildlife
Those aerial shots off the bass were awesome!
Thanks! Love all the pond building videos. Just recently came across your channel and have binged watched the whole series.
Thanks for the support!
With the prawns, I'm assuming they are a lot like amano shrimp where they can mate and get eggs, they just wont hatch/develop unless they have access to brackish water
very likely correct. I've had the amano shrimps in aquariums for years and they are constantly holding eggs similar to the ones on that prawn, as far as i understand they release the fertilized eggs and they then go down rivers/streams to brackish conditions where they develop as larvae until they are developed enough to go back into freshwater. Not 100% on this of course 👍
@@Tigercg11 nah but your probably 100% right. Iv kept them too and what your saying makes perfect sense
Was thinking the same thing. I don’t know what species of shrimp these prawns are. Anyone know?
You and yours, sir are a welcome relief on a day like today
Hope tomorrow is better for you.
I’ve been away for a while. Congratulations on this beautiful pond!!!!
Gotta get my monthly pond drama fix. Keep being a good Stuart sir and thanks for sharing your interest with us nerds
I've been watching your stuff for about 6 months now I really like it, you're living the life brother good for you.
Been watching since day one... can't ever get enough. Thank you for the videos!!!! Keep'm coming!!!
Thanks for all the good information you provide!!
I love it when we get a new Bama Bass video the pond is really coming along and the bass are getting heavy!
Woohoo! Bamabass update and my wife is going into induction in a few hours! Can’t get any better than this :D
Congratulations. Best wishes. We did that 20 years ago and now I have a daughter in college. It went fast…
This lil series started out as a recommendation from the logarithm but now I am HOOKED. I want to have my own 5 acre pond now.
Loved the experience, thanks for sharing!
Looking forward to the pond scape build. I enjoy all of your videos,you have an amazing property. Take care and God Bless!!!
I really hope this series is still going 5 years down the road.
New subscriber here.
I love the wildlife care you're doing on your property. Creating a good enviroment for all is key to conservation. Your pond looks to be in great shape, growing several different species. You seem to have hit the right balance of feeders to predators, something i don't see in alot of ponds. Those bass creeping into 3lb range will start decimating more and more Prawn.
Your channel as well as you efforts are amazingly enjoyable to view. Thank you for all of your efforts to share with us.😄
Just started and can't wait. I vote for 3 videos a week. Time to hire an editor 🎉🔥✅💥👍🏼
Those particular prawns need brackish water for the first larval stages of their life. Once the molt to a post larval stage they live entirely in fresh water. So more than likely won’t hatch, but there is always exceptions.
Also, I vote to put tiger into the aquascape pond and power feed him to be a monster. 😂
They will hatch, they will die after a couple days though. Orange eggs will turn brown three days before release. They need 14 ppm salinity to develop
That is correct.
Maybe he should establish a nursery tank with brackish water. When he traps females with eggs he can drop them in there until the eggs release and raise the larvae until he can put them back in the pond.
@@arttrumbo9496 it’s a good idea, the trouble is the only places these shrimp can overwinter in the US is south Florida and Hawaii. So he would need heaters, and a recirculating system to keep an eye on them for when they are close to hatching, then you have to separate the larvae from the freshwater and move them to brackish because the adult shrimp can’t tolerate it for very long. It’s a lot of work when you can have the convenience of buying thousands of larvae for a couple hundred dollars
@@rosshusty6240 I was thinking more along the lines of a glass aquarium like the one in his house where he keeps the pet bass. I suppose he could also use a livestock trough in the garage or something.
it would be intersting to see some of those shrimp in a fish tank and see if the eggs do hatch.
Congratulations on your baby boy, love watching your channel.
Watching from south Africa
Move Tiger to new pond and then eventually to the 5 acre pond. Like the idea of transitioning them from aquarium to small pond to 5 acre pond. Gives you a history with them!
love your Sunday night uploads. you guys help wrap up my weekend by winding down to your pond. thank you!
head of team kestral. lol theyre awesome birds. if you see them hovering its 100% kestral
I get so happy when it pops up in my feed.
I love how I get to choose my entertainment and I love how channels like this can exist.
You have a great shot of a kestral. It is only about 1/3 the size of a peregrine and quite a bit more colorful. Love your videos.
GET THIS MAN TO A MILLION!
The birds in question, …, American Kestrel. Love your videos!
As far as Tiger, I think you should put them in the small prawn pond first
This is by far my favorite channel on UA-cam.
Oh I could just live there. So peaceful and wonderful. Absolutely beautiful.
N- Nyx
It’s always a blessing seeing @bamabass posts!! Loving this series!
Love seeing a pair of kestrels on your property they are super fun to watch hunt.
I’m so excited for the Aquascape pond.. I’ve been following you since they built your backyard pond. Also, a vote for Tiger in the Aquascape pond please. Love your channel so much. Certainly one of my favourites. Thank you. 🙂👌🏼
Great video !
Thank you for sharing. !
👏😀👍
Man all that wild life around that pond is awesome. With the hot dry summer you know them deer love that water source. Great video and keep em coming.
Also, thanks for the info on feed training - my goldfish are def getting better now that I have a regular sound system to cue them to come and eat.
Nice!
We love all of your videos and watch them every time you post! Thanks for providing such interesting videos consistently.
So cool aquascape is coming! Love the videos, I watch every single one!
The only thing I don’t like about your videos it’s honestly the fact that you don’t post more… keep up the good work man this will always be my favorite channel
Love it cant wait until we see how big they get.
Great Video, I love the variety of wildlife around the lake.
Fresh water prawn cook in coconut milk with lemon grass, onion and green chillies .... so good
Move tiger into the aquascape pond, he will provide a great start for it in terms of video footage, and will make a nice transistion from aquarium to massive pond
Best part of my Sunday! Love y’all!
can't like these videos enough, perfect entertainment for the late evening
Absolutely addicted to this series. I can't wait to see it and when it's a no-release week it is a real sorrow. lol It blows my mind how fast 30 minutes of Bamabass goes.
I think it would be really cool to have tiger in the aqua-scape pond. it would be interesting to see how he interacts with infinite prey and far less competition, compared the the 5 acre pond bass who have potentially less food and more competition.
He needs freedom and friends.
True but so lonely haha THE PEOPLE DEMAND TIGERS FREEDOM
tiger won't have competition he's an apex bass lol
@@RogueStatusX Tiger deserves the freedom of choice! Maybe he just wants to sun bathe at the oak throne! Lol

This is the first time I've seen your video. Way cool! I'm from San Diego and do a lot ot deep sea fishing off the coast but very do any fresh water fishing except for stocked resevores. Way cool!
Definitely American Kestrel. Peregrine are larger and don't typically have that rust coloration, and the 'eye spots' mark them as Kestrels for sure!
When I was a kid we had a nesting pair of Kestrels make their home in a crevice in our roof for a few summers. I loved watching them, one of my favorite bird species!

Love this series so much
love the pond build!!
Now I want to go fishing! Thanks again for the video!
Outstanding Sir. Thumbs up 👍!

Love watching someone else experience the barred owl sound, such a unique hooter
