I live a pretty sad and miserable life. Watching your videos makes me happy. You live the life I want and fear I may never have. Thanks for sharing, it means a lot.
he really has this pond stuff down to 👨🔬a science! even calculating bass weights with precision. Seeing him out there with this tech doesn't get any better. 😎

Hey, you can easily overwinter tropical lillies. Basically If it gets colder, you get them out, cut of leafes and roots and put the rhizome in some moist moss or sand. Store them somewhere cool but not freezing and they should come back nice and healthy when you Put them Back in the pond in spring. You can find a lot of Info on that in the Internet, would be a shame if all those lillies where to die of
I agree, i live in texas and the lillies in our pond come back every year. obviously the climate is different but there has to be a way to get them to come back each year. I dont do anything to ours they are just wild ones that appeared on their own. also some really big elephant ear type plants too. They die off each winter but always come back the following spring.
Dude...your videos are my therapy! I am so relaxed watching them! I love seeing all the different wild life that shows up, love the pond build, and love everything about them! I get excited when i see one show up in my feed! Please keep up the great work and thank you for the free therapy! I always make sure to like ;)
Those crawdads will migrate during rainy periods and get into the big pond. I don’t think they will hurt the clay liner, but just thought I’d let you know.
There are thousands of dudes out here living vicariously through you. I feel like that's my pond too without doing all the work and spending all those moolah. Thanks man. :)
I knew the sand beach would be important. Most birds (ducks and the like excluded) NEED that sand bath to get all clean and with a sand beach there you have now made it prime territory for those apex predator birds to move in like you wanted! I hope you get an excited pair of bird out there!
"If there's one thing I know about Bass is they love an easy meal". That is why the Bass aren't eating those eatable Blue Gill. The Bass are so used to those small shiners being thrown into the pond, that is the size they focus on. Can you throw larger bait fish into the pond to teach them to hunt bigger prey? Also the abundance of shiners makes the Bass target smaller prey.
I LOVE seeing the growth of your pond with all of the critters that have made t their home. My favorite is the "Wild Baby BamaBass" running loose at the airport!!! How adorable was that!!!! ❤
hell yeah. I'm kinda hopin he brings back Tank Tuesdays but can't go wrong with a video every other Sunday! 🙂 But was thinkin on those off weeks he could put up a video of the 300 gallon and maybe squeeze in a few clips from the backyard pond. (Just a thought) Shout out to bama bass ✌🏽😉if you're in the comments! 😎
Not sure how I stumbled across this channel but I absolutely love it. Your genuine enthusiasm is heard in your voice and your laugh. May God bless all your efforts. Thanks for sharing your little piece of aquatic heaven with viewers!!
In my experience, it seems relatively common to see bass top out around that 2.5-3.5lb mark when they don’t have larger forage. You gotta find a way to entice them to start eating the blue gill. Talk with some people but sometimes you can clip fins on some to make them swim weird and look like an easier meal or stock a few hundred in a smaller size. Bass should pick up on the pattern and shape and start to target them more frequently once they gain some confidence in seeing them as food.
I'm glad you built the smaller water feature I love the diversity of it I could put a couple chairs around it and I don't think I would ever be board there is so much to learn and watch even if you have seen it before it's still cool
Great job the side pond! I love greg and his team. I am glad i tipped you a long while ago . About the trouts: they are bigveaters, i remember in germany/Austria europe we would eat that the forrellen hof .restaurants where you can puck out your uwn trout to eat. And as children we were allowed to extra feed them, and what they do is giving them omelettes! (eggs), and pellots. It was a lot if fun because they are alwats jumping, much more than base and koi's. We used to watch troats in the rivers in the mountain riverbeds in villages near the bridges, because they know they get fed as well.. so much fun .
Absolutely beautiful pond building. Your crew knew what they were doing. I wish I could have just a little part of that in my backyard. Perhaps I’ll dream a little.
I'd maybe check your scale or possibly pick up a new one. I understand they may be predictable losses after the spawn but those losses seemed relatively consistent. That scale has definitely seen a lot of fish over the years and may be getting worn out.
Don’t want to be a know-it-all but at 30:45 you were talking about maybe making a salt water build. That shark you were considering is NOT a baby hammerhead shark. That is a bonnet head shark. They only get 18-24 inches large. You should totally build a salt water pond and get a bonnet head shark!
That would 😱be so wild! 😂😅 he'll probably load it with some stripers and red drums. Such excellent game fish and maybe the smaller specimens of grouper? Definitely wouldn't go Queensland unless you're wantin @thousand pound monster terrorizing your pond and eating everything in it but bumblebee groupers are pretty nice I've seen those they usually stay within reasonable size but might do a little more research just to be sure. and last but certainly not least adding some 🦈sharks! Most shark species from what I've gathered are nomadic meaning they require to be in open water but might look into some of the smaller species like oceanic black tips you usually see them in aquariums @restaurants throughout central Asia and major seaports like Hongkong and Bangkok 🇹🇭Thailand. 😎
I've been thinking about building a small hydroelectric dam on my property once I buy a house. With your engineering background, I believe that would be a great project to undertake in the creek on the farm. I think your viewers would enjoy it, I know I will. It can power the farm!
What a life! So happy for you and your family getting to do what you guys love to do you've done some amazing amazing things with your property! love your content! Can't wait to follow along with your new projects!
I have a water lily in my little 625 gallon pond that regrows and blooms every year. It isn't fancy like the ones you currently have but it is nice not having to replace it every year.
I loved the Bahamas traveling with all the water features. I’ve got an idea for you and Jr. Traveling to new and exciting water features and making a second channel full of water feature shorts! Find all the cool unique waterfalls around the areas you’ve visited as a collection for you to look back at. You do a really good job at filming water compared to how others film! ❤
Can you do extended versions (without the cuts, so we see everything!) Also can you do some webcams on the Pond so we can keep an eye on it 24/7? I do fall asleep with your videos at night. Lovely!
@@BamaBass omg. the cats love your livestream! we used to watch your guys backyard streams on my laptop and they would jump on the bed with their faces glued to the screen !! even mistook it for an aquarium and everytime Cloud saw Shadow the catfish his eyes would get real big! 😂😂😂😂 Can't wait to see the ones @Cedar Falls! 🤠 and for all the new subscribers you're in ☺️for a treat! 🤗
So we went and bought some of the LMNT packs using the BAMA Bass promo. Oh my word is it tasty! We like the watermelon, orange, and grapefruit the best so far.
Such a gorgeous aquatic stone you see them @Bass Pro Shops everywhere and (of course) the legendary Cabela's. Such an amazing stone hard to believe they are exclusively in that part of the country but such an amazing sight when seeing them on display. They go so well 👍🏽with just about anything! 😎
I love the small ponds landscaping and hardscaping other than that red mulch. I always thought it stood out like an eye sore when I was a kid. All of our flower beds at my childhood home had it. Anyways, keep up the good work! Love the journey
Wish I had the budget for this sorta thing lol! I remember being a kid playing Minecraft and creating houses with tons of water features like little ponds and rivers going in and out and around my house😂
So surprising to me that you don't have way more subs than 1.04 mill. I know you recently made it to the 1 mill mark but you deserve multi million. Love these videos & look forward to them every week.
I think doing another project like making trails would be exciting and new. I am addicted to this channel and you are living the dream life. Thank you for all your hard work.
Hey, buddy, all you workers did a great job at amazing job. It looks so good. You couldn't have asked for a better place to put it in. You picked a great place. I love your videos you put out. I only watched the ones but there's probably more. There to watch I will finish watching the rest. I just want to say. God bless, it looks really amazing and Keep. The videos coming you have a awesome day.
When I was a kid many moons ago, 😂, I would get excited for Sundays so I could watch The Wonderful World of Disney. Now, I look forward to Sundays to watch BamaBass episodes 😊
How good is it to watch feel good videos, faith in humanity restored. no agenda, no politics, just an amazing dream being realised and shared. Legend work BamaBass
Fantastic as always. Thanks for making my day. P.S. I may be wrong, but I think crawdads can walk from one body of water to another that is nearby. I had at least 1 walk from a very small creek on the back edge of my back yard about 60-70 feet to a very wet spot in my lawn and dig a hole to do whatever it is they do there. (I finally dried up the wet spot by shoving a handful of Willow limbs down the hole and over the years grew me another Willow tree.) So, I would not be surprised if you found crawdads in the 5-acre pond in the relative near future.
i love the fact that with all the different predators and literal homes you have made for the animals, that a mouse and his baby have taken over a house and is sleeping in the bed like a king! so great.
Would love to see you fish for some with a 6” glidebait. Maybe a cormorant Thrizzard, a Trashy bass Thready, ya, it would be so cool to watch. Really enjoy these pond videos!!
I wonder if the bass weight problem has to do with their metabolism and the heat. With the Alabama heat their metabolism is going to be super quick, they might just be burning off energy as quickly as they consume it. It seemed like the 3+ pounders were getting caught in November, when it was cool enough for long enough that they could properly eat
Who waits for these videos every Sunday evening 🙋♂️
Meeeeee
👋🏻
i do!!!!!
I wait for it every other Sunday..

you want to ensure scales are calibrated mate, weigh something you know the weight of and make sure it's right
There's too many in the pond, a body of water will always reach a point of equilibrium

I get the sense this is a guy who pays people to landscape, not someone who gardens themselves. Rich enough to just buy more next season.
@@Echosinfireify probably true sadly, still a good video and a really nice set up

It's not Sunday if there's no BamaBass video!
🗣️
It’s been two weeks overdue!!! I was heartbroken not to have had a video last Sunday lol… keep up the good work BamaBass!
Same!!
I’m bummed that all we got is a rehash.
Those crawdads will migrate during rainy periods and get into the big pond. I don’t think they will hurt the clay liner, but just thought I’d let you know.
Came here to say this
There are thousands of dudes out here living vicariously through you. I feel like that's my pond too without doing all the work and spending all those moolah. Thanks man. :)
Incredible job, keep it up. No politics, or controversial topics, just relaxing outdoor content and fascinating analysis. You're amazing.
I knew the sand beach would be important. Most birds (ducks and the like excluded) NEED that sand bath to get all clean and with a sand beach there you have now made it prime territory for those apex predator birds to move in like you wanted! I hope you get an excited pair of bird out there!

Yup. And they are likely having to work a lot harder to chase down/catch 1-2 dozen shiners vs a large bluegill.
I LOVE seeing the growth of your pond with all of the critters that have made t their home. My favorite is the "Wild Baby BamaBass" running loose at the airport!!! How adorable was that!!!! ❤
Love the ending with a taste of your Bahama’s trip.
It's always amazing to see you construct, and this "Dream" pond is the ideal complement to your five-acre pond setup!
Really makes for a great Sunday watch👍

Wonderful to see you build - it never gets old - and this "Dream" pond is the perfect addition to your five acre pond installation!

Nice red shouldered hawk going after the squirrel. Time to cull some bass or add some pickerel or other toothy predator fish to cull baby bass.

The third squirrels name should be Gadget, 😊 keeping with the Chip N Dale cartoon. 😁
Yeah that would be a nice name
It’s amazing how much Bamabass enjoys the small pond as well. Love it!
Keep stocking trout!!!! Rainbow trout are the reason bass get so big in California

awesome pond so beautiful . 10 /10 video / edit to .
That bird at 30:51 is a Eurasian Collared-Dove. They really like to live in urban environments, and you can even get them to eat from your hand.
Have you thought about adding freshwater acclimated tarpon? There are plenty in the Florida catch ponds and canals.

I wonder if the bass weight problem has to do with their metabolism and the heat. With the Alabama heat their metabolism is going to be super quick, they might just be burning off energy as quickly as they consume it. It seemed like the 3+ pounders were getting caught in November, when it was cool enough for long enough that they could properly eat
I'm here , let go BamaBass !!!
