Thanks for following the pond build series folks! We are working hard to get the vertical standpipe in and valve closed so this tropical storm can fill it up!
Could y’all bring back the tank Tuesday
The Peanut Oak Fishing Hole 🥜🌳🎣
Gotta love the process from the start till now. Most definitely really different
Are you done posting weekly videos for this pond build?
You should name it "old oak pond "
For the middle of the island, I’d plant some mosquito repellent plants like Citronella, and mosquito herbs. Will help out the ducks and wildlife in the area. I agree on planting an oak tree there too for natural shade! :)
and natural fish hides when it gets huge and drops limbs...
Plant a couple pines they grow faster
@@Sloppyplane37 they get to big
@@isaiah9733 they provide shade and if the fall that’s structure. It’s like Minnesota or Wisconsin fishin
@@isaiah9733 i think a redwood tree would work better
This is awesome!!
Yes
You are officially invited to come scuba dive the pond once it fills up!
@@BamaBass lets go thats gonna be great
That's a collaboration i'd love to see! haha
@@BamaBass moby might eat him though
I get chills when I think about how much this project is costing you.
Probably will pay for its self with all the traffic and views/future views it's drawing to his channel
@Andrew W
I think you have drastically underestimated the cost of transporting that much material and hiring that many workers not to mention paying for the use of machinery
@@mikecremona7810 you realize how much these UA-camrs get in ad revenue, right? Average about 25k per million views. This dude has over 105million views. So math but that's alot
@@andreww9791 - UA-cam pays between $2000 to $6000 per million views, then they take 40%
@@SDK2006b I mean believe what you want, but that's simply not true
You know, "Bandit Basin" seems to be a fitting name for the pond given Alcatraz Island, Bonnie & Clyde, and any other ne're-do-well fish names you come up with in the future. Good luck with the pond, can't wait to see it complete and the enjoyment it brings for family and friends!
I like the name Bandit. That's a great idea.
Oak or Williow tree? A giant Williow tree might be look better as a single tree, plus will provide more cover protection for ducks. Williow trees do better in wet ground. Although will remove more water via evap through canopy.
Willows really thrive around water also, that's a good idea.
Great idea
Unfortunately the roots will likely grow through the clay blanket, allowing for leakage.
@@carlellis4985 yeah your right, it’s a good idea, but willows have an extensive root system
The root systems are large, very large. Might not be a good idea.
I honestly don’t know why this series has been so interesting but it has been. Keep up the great work!
I love how I randomly stumbled in on episode 1 of this build and its been a joy to watch it come together.
I randomly stumbled upon episode 7. Watched like 30 seconds of it and then went to episode one and watched he’d the entire series lol
I've been warned against envy. This pond and your presentation of it's build throws all those warnings out the window.
Alcatraz Island needs a model of the prison that could double as a duck shelter. A watchtower with a nesting box for the wild ducks would be very cool!
this is a great idea.
Woah that’s awesome idea! Lol prison ducks!
Prison model should be bird house or duck house.
While adding a single oak tree to the island is an awesome idea, you would need to be careful on placement, so that the root system won’t bust through your clay 15-20 years down the road.
You're right... species selection is going to be important. Luckily though oak is a taproot system so they grow vertical for the most part and you only to see lots of lateral growth in dry years roots also travel the path of least resistance and clay is resistant and once they hit that 2 feet of heavy clay the roots will turn and go back down. Oak trees, in general, are also a variety that grows toward the sun and that will impact how the root system grows but seeing as how this tree would have sun from all angles it would grow very straight and the root system would grow in a similar fashion. I would say you definitely do not want to go with Red oak because they are unique in the variety where their roots system grows much much larger than the canopy.
I wondered about this, too.
@@FallbackNkillEm I used to work at a landing nursery and one of the most common questions was about roots and how close you could plant trees next to buildings, sidewalks, fences, etc. now this information just lives in my head.
this series has really been one of the coolest things ive ever seen
Some quick math and this pond is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. You and your family are very blessed. 👍
Just a suggestion, do not plant or allow a tree to take root on that island, same concern as your dock, the roots will punch through the clay and cause an undermining leak. Pond looks amazing. It's going to be a slice of heaven for you guys.
Yeah. I have that concern too.
Good thought. Wonder if you could build some type of slurry wall to limit root spread.
I'm no expert, but don't you think there's enough soil on the island to nest the roots without going down into the clay liner? There are also trees that have a small root system which he could plant.
@@aaronstestlab Just put some ani root mesh under the tree, but i would just dig it in.. its a 3 acre pond and the tree is in the middle... it cant leak that bad..a tree isnt going to last if u retain its roots...
I was wondering about this
Great series! I am sure that someone commented this already but you might want to put a nice layer of topsoil on your island. If you want to grow grass, tree's, or flowers it sure will be a lot easier.
For the Island, if you have space, plan the oak tree, and then a small table made from the old oak tree, as a sort of picnic spot. You can use an inner tube and ice chest combo to float the food and whatever else you want/need. (We in central Texas do this when we float down rivers, as a part of our summer activities)
I don't even remember how I came across this channel but when these pond progress videos started coming out I've been enjoying watching them a ton
Check out the "fish Whisperer" then
you could put a small ladder tower on the island with a zip line to the nearest bank for swimming hole fun, and it could double as a tree stand with a game or security cam on it, and if you really want to go nuts make it solar powered so you could get a remote 360 degree view.
I like this idea a lot! It should look like a lighthouse like the real Alcatraz has on it. The kid could have a fort there too. Lots of fun to be had!
What an awesome escape!! Major kudos. Keeping the island more of a forbidden destination is a great idea with a big oak tree. Hang an old style rope swing from a branch and put a picnic table under the old oak tree. Not for use but just for ambiance
I'm happy for your family. You've created a legacy for many years to come!!
You could make a pontoon cable ferry to be able to get on the island, without making it accessible to predators. 12x15ft pontoon, a cable secured between the island and the mainland that runs through a pipe mounted on your pontoon to guide it, and a rope or chain to drag yourself across. You can even use the pontoon as an extra mobile fishing platform between the island n the shore.
Um..you do realize coyote and bobcats swim right?
@@JCrook1028 and hawks and eagles fly
Lol
I was thinking the same thing!
Great idea! And the idea was to not make it too easy for predators (yes predators can swim and fly, after all if there’s a will there’s a way) to access the island, which this idea executed perfectly. Additionally the pontoon ferry provides cover as well.
That pond depth thing is something I never heard of. We have quarries here in the Northeast that can be 100ft plus deep and they have the cleanest water and biggest fish. Learn something new every day, thanks.
Quarries are much different than ponds. In almost all cases, but especially in the Northeast, quarries are filled by groundwater. They don't get much runoff from rain. Believe it or not, the water isn't stagnant like you would think. It's refreshed continuously, albeit slowly, by the movement of the groundwater. A pond that isn't spring or steam fed, like this one, relies on convection to circulate. If it's too deep, the water at the bottom of the pond will be depleted and when convection happens, that water will now be on the top where the fish live. It's crazy, but there is science behind everything, even pond depth. It's pretty cool I think.
@@pamike4873 thanks mike! very interesting.
You guys did a job around the corner from my house. The amount of material moved in a short amount of time was impressive. If you ever need a hand getting footage or need someone to run a roller give me a shout. Im always available.
Thank you so much for recording this pond build! It's been so enjoyable! Stay safe and be blessed!
You should build a little bass cave out of rocks for Clyde in Clyde’s cove and then release him into the pond at that spot and maybe he’ll make that cove his home!!
Aww yeah, the best thing about Sundays lately.. best way to finish out a weekend. Ty Bamabass!
Building a hardtop gazebo and a nice picnic area on the island would be a great idea. If people use a boat or kayak to get to the island, they can relax out there and feed the ducks.
Duck boxes/ nesting boxes would be great on the island. A small floating dock on the island would be cool too.
Hey Bamabass, I would HIGHLY recommend a floating kayak launch attached to the dock. It is such a nice addition.
I wish there was a SUPER LIKE button that I could click 10 ten times! That's how much I love this pond build series! :)
Buy UA-cam premium and hit download on his videos then hit undownload. Premium views count as about 1k normal views with ads, and downloading a video counts as a 100% watch, even if you don't watch it and just undownload it.
You're welcome.
@@Ayane13b thanks for that info i never knew that
Who should put a picnic table out on the island for family time. That would be awesome. Also Lloyd the Bull for the pet
I like the idea of naming the bullfrog Fred. I hope you keep doing regular updates on the pond status. It really is the coolest project. I am one of thousands that are so happy you shared this experience with us all.
Finishing that clay blanket was a BIG job! I can’t wait to see how much water is starts holding!
This is probably my favorite episode so far from the series!! Getting to see all the clay in is a huge milestone. Just as you said, water will be coming really soon. Can't wait to see you slowly build up the aquatic life at this pond.
I’ve been a viewer of the channel since the very beginning it’s been so awesome to see the progress with Bonnie and Clyde from the tanks to the backyard pond to soon the 5 acre pond thanks for doing such a great job keeping us updated on the pond build keep up the great work
Even on holiday I don't miss a video, it is looking awesome can't wait to watch the result.
It all looks great. The contours along the bottom and with the cove should really work great and I got to say the brief drone flyover at beginning was real nice.
I’m thinking the island would be a fun camping spot for kids. Maybe build a fire pit for cooking? Or a small wood lean-to they can pitch a tent under? Or two posts they can hang hammocks between.
His daughter's a bit young to be pitching a tent, building a fire or hanging a hammock.
Time goes by fast.
@@JCrook1028 sorry, I’m not up to date on all the family ages 😂 As someone suggested, kids grow up…
If you are near mobile, As someone from Fairhope originally, you should access to plenty of crab traps. They are great for bait structure but awful for snagging casts
The first video I saw was the last one you filmed planting the oak on Alcatraz island. After that I haven't stopped watching since day 1 of the build. What a great show!!! Wow!!! Beats Netflix that's for sure. Great job brother!!!
So sad the series is over but can’t wait to see all the great videos coming from this pond. “The Bonnie and Clyde bass factory” 🎣👍🏻
This pond build has been one the best series I've seen on UA-cam in a while. And the coffee table idea is great. Can't wait to see the finished project of the pond and table.
A Gazebo, would be cool to have on the island, it would be a place for the ducks to have shade, and if you want your family could have a cookout and enjoy the pond from there.. A spot to just hang out and enjoy life.. We had friends who had an island on a small lake they had and they had a huge gazebo and a boat dock, they would have cook outs there and have friends over it was cool.. Just an idea.. Loved watching...
You should build a light house that uses solar panels for the light so you don’t have to worry about running power. Also make it hallow for the ducks to shelter in during storms.
Lancaster pond,
Lancaster is the town where Bonnie and Clyde robbed R.P. Henry & Sons Bank in 1934.
That's the best suggestion so far
@@saintpaul3055 thanks
My vote
@John Hensgens hi
I love that you are letting us ride along these whole build. It is honestly one of the best things I have ever seen. Thank you.
The coffee table is a AWESOME idea!!!!
You should use some of the oak to make a engraved sign saying Alcatraz Island and put it out there on the island and maybe have a bass carved on it with a ball and chain around its tail !!
You should get an old boat and make it look like it crashed or sunk on the side of the island and have some of it in the water for a man made reef so you could call it
Cant wait to see the pond full of water and the the fish getting released.
That island being red makes me wish you’d name it Pond D’ Rosa Island ! Loving these videos!
ROCKS!!! You need some boulders on Alcatraz, and some decent rocks where crawfish can hang out.
Favorite series at the moment!
Unfortunately now I won’t be looking forward to Sunday night every week for a new pond video but it’s cool to see it basically finished! Really cool video.
I'm glad I'm stumbled on these videos.
Cant wait to see the pond completed good luck in the pond build
I believe that you should call it "Fallen Oak Pond." That's the centerpiece of the pond build and really pays homage to the history of the land.
Gotta name the bullfrog Jeremiah. He was a good friend of mine.
I never understood a single word he said.
These videos have been awesome, dude! I’m not a fisherman myself; but I’ve been following your build since the beginning!
Such an awesome project! Dream come true, I’m sure! I had a small 3/4 acre pond built last summer and your video series has generated some good traffic for my little videos too. Thank you! Congratulations on an awesome project.
We are thinking about doing something similar. What does a small pond cost? Just curious
I love the idea of the Oak tree on the island I would be careful though that as the tree grows the roots will punch through your clay layer potentially draining your pond! Awesome videos
I think that "Jeremiah" is a good bullfrog name
Was a good friend of mine...
How can you name it anything else?!
lol I just posted that, and down I scrolled to see if any other people of culture said it too.
=D .
I think you should name the frog Jeremiah. Awesome videos. Really enjoy them. I can see a lot of family time around this pond and a lot of memories going to be made.
Can't wait to see the finished product!!
Great video! Love watching the progress. My vote for the bullfrog is Jeremiah 😀
Best so far!
Well since the frog and Fred are showing up around the same time it only makes sense to name him Fred.
Yep it makes sense.
I fw it
My thoughts exactly. Plus he likes hanging out on rocks, and Fred Flintstone worked at a rock quarry 😂😂.
That’s what I commented lol
That's exactly what I was thinking!
This is like a dream come true 🔥 I’ve always wanted my own pond.
This has been an amazing series. Thank you for the updates. It would be cool if maybe couple of us could go out there once it's finished.
The best thing you could use to access the island would be a pontoon boat, and you can find them without the motor or furniture on them pretty cheap. Or just mount a little battery operated motor on it for a floating dock you can put anywhere on the pond. Leave it attached to your existing dock for extra room. With this you are able to access the island with large loads if needed. Love the pond build, thanks for sharing your story
Ric Flair Scream! Can't wait for the finished pond!
Having a much smaller pond for 25 years i learned a lot. Some are to late as your done but a couple are not. I would put a couple large cut trees in it. Lay them on there side. Turtles love to climb up and lay in the sun. Also, you will want some aeration. I would trench some black sprinkler pipe and install at least 5- 12in diffusers. You will have algae from the run off and this will help more than anything else you do.
Some great wildlife around that neck of the woods.
This is seriously my all time favorite series on UA-cam. I am so stoked for you guys. Thanks for sharing this with us.
This has been such a great series. For the island, maybe put a gazebo out on it. That or some seriously over-engineered duck housing :-)
Put a picnic table on the island for paddleboarders or canoers to have a snack at on the pond. Maybe think of two trees on the island and then you could put a hammock between them for a nice isolated place to rest and "think".
Cant wait to see the results and I hope the best for the pond and you
With the pond dirt work completed, this is the best time to spread Ag Lime across the bottom for acidic soil. Usually about 2 tons per acre is recommended. Also are you going to put in Pea Gravel Bluegill Beds? It is much easier to lay the gravel liner before it fills up. Thank you for sharing 🍺 🎣
This is really coming together!!! The table idea with the contours is an incredible idea for the oak table as well!!! I’ve always thought it’d be cool to have a skinny floating bridge to the island. 🏝🤙🙌👍
Edit: later into the video after your point about the predators and the bridge, fair point! I’m excited to see ducks there in the future 🦆
New Orleans boy here - I like Bobby for the frog. Like Bobby Boucher!
I have always wanted to build a pond so I find your video's very encouraging. Good job.
Cant wait to see it done!
I can't believe I have been watching your channel for 4 years..wow!
Wow! This channel has coma a long way. From a backyard pond to a five acre behemoth. New sub!
It would sure be cool to have a picnic spot on the island!!
You should name the pond: “Anglin Pond” Anglin the last name of John and Clarence known for there escape from Alcatraz island. Anglin short form for Angling. I think it is a great name considering that the bass names are also criminals and you are naming the island Alcatraz island.
It's crazy those 2 made it to Brazil
How much would it cost for a project like this
Clever boy
@@VinylUnboxings thanks
That was an awesome idea tnt I also like how the clay will get more compact over time due to the amount of movement you could build like a tree house for the ducks and maybe make a fake tree and make some nesting boxes for some wild birds like owls or even some native birds to your area
I really need to know how much this is jeeeezz.. plus a pond table is a FANTASTIC idea
What a project! Amazing it's moving along so fast! Looking forward to the next vids on this huge project.
RIP Sheriff. His legend will live on. Hard to believe that vid was from FOUR years ago! Wow, time does fly.
Conveniently finished just days before two storms heading that way to fill it up!
I was busy with the kids all weekend but it was cool that you read my comment in the video!! Hope all goes well with the dam!! I will be tuned in to find out!!
Not sure if you can get electricity out there or maybe solar lights but...... One of the main things you could always see on Alcatraz from mainland is Old Glory. I think you should put a pole with Old Glory flying high! Semper-Fi from Las Vegas, NV
Plant a weeping willow. They do well planted near water and the noises they make would be a great addition!
You should build a cabin/shelter with a beautyfull firepit area to Cook what you catch from the pond on the island, so you can boat out and camp with the kids ✌❤
Bridge the gap between the island and the shore with a couple tensioned cables. Then get a floating platform that could use the cables as a guide to transport people to and from the island. (could make the cables move like a ski lift or just add a motor go the platform).
I think instead of a bridge you should make a zip line from the dock to the island and be able to jump off the zip line and swim if you want to
Edit: I got further into the video now and I have a suggestion for a name for the bullfrog. Trechter, it’s Dutch for hopper and she hopped in this clip so I thought it might be good (and it also sounds like tractor lol)
This so cool to see from start to finish
Greetings from Wisconsin! The whole family loves to watch your videos. My four year old daughter says you should name the big old bullfrog "Jeremiah".
You should name the bull frog “horns “ because if you mess with the bull you get the horns
Plant a cypress tree instead. An oak tree will drown after awhile of being surrounded by water. A cypress tree will do extremely well on an island. Plus ya know cypress knees look cool and would provide extra hiding spots for fish
Every time I see you posted a video I get excited
I would name it Memory Lake because your family will make so many great memories there.
