Are there local water plants you can add to your pond? These will easily out compete the algae for nutrients and naturally aid you in your pond maintenance. The faster the plant grows, the better. They will also create places to hide and feed for your fish.
Or you could build a floating hydroponics raft, with a matt of some hardy plants on it that can easily grow with their roots in water, but wont damage lining, eg kang kong, (food plant). Or pothos.
You guys have created a eco reserve for all this wildlife around your place. Good for you. What a beautiful place you folks have. Hello from Prince George BC
@@paintedwings74 they are no different than the colonizers who ruined and defiled the new world to begin with. Self righteous and divorced from our godly stewardship of nature. This is a bathtub of Baal!!
I have been adding carp and striped mullet to a storm water pond by my house to get the algea under control and stocked it with bass and shellcrackers from the creek it's over flow dumps into. I do believe this is as close as I will ever get lol.

Poseidon is a wild boy! He will eat anything! Excited to see what he will do next. This is the best UA-cam channel I have ever experienced. Thank you for the quality content.
I love this channel! I think I'll start binge watching from the installation of the backyard pond! This channel is truly amazing! Thanks for sharing a part of your lives with all of us! God bless!🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲
Just love watching your videos and progress on your pond/lake, aquariums and the backyard pond. I can watch fish all day! We live on a brackish water canal and have 2 fish lights. We’ve seen lots of different fish at different times. Right now we’re seeing a lot of gar. In the past we’ve had bass, snook, tilapia, turtles and small gators. We live in SW Florida. It’s my heaven! All the best for your endeavor!
I wish he'd go back to doing them every week instead of every other week but can understand he's got a family to raise now with a son maybe that's what's keeping um? I know he's got aqua scapes coming out to for the prongs next month (maybe later) was hoping to see them do a little work on the five acre pond as well.
Love the vids, just a small suggestion: A few years ago, when I lived in Ontario, I visted a pond similar to yours. As a proteine source for their bass, they vermicomposted their kitchen scraps. They used their compost for their trees and tomatos, but also used their worms to feed the fish from time to time. They mentioned that the worms reproduce really quickly and thrive in kitchen scraps. Maybe you could use it as an additional source of food for your bass too? Love your vids, nice and relaxing to watch.
I've been waiting years to see Moby get into that back yard pond! Im so friggen pumped for the next video... Im gona throw a watch party with my gf and well pop some celebration drinks!
I truly enjoy every one of your videos - I learn something new each time, i see progress every time, I get to see open countryside up close, and my appreciation of your skills grows. Thank you!
I love y’all. Auburn/Bama rivalry aside, I truly adore your family, this channel and appreciate what you’re doing for the ecosystem. War Eagle! Much love!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
This is a great case study on catch and release fishing. Eventually you’ll gather so much date to support catch and release fisheries as being sustainable and not damaging to a fish stock population. Amazing series. I’ll be invested in this for years to come. When these bass reach double digits I’m pumped to see it!
I look forward to new updates and get so excited when they arrive. I can't help thinking that mother nature cannot be controlled and this will be a never ending challenge!!!
Crazy how excited I get when a Bamabass video pops up. Was Entourage and Game of thrones, now the pond videos are seriously my favorite show. Thank you for bringing us along
i’ve been watching this series since the beginning, and I have loved every single episode. You are doing great work, and it is so fun to watch. I think a great name for a bass would be Tank!
This pond update has been incredible to follow. Best series on UA-cam. Suggestion for the spreadsheet on your fish weights: you need to list them all vertical each time you catch instead of horizontally. Then pull it into a Power BI summary that you could share with all subscribers in a view only format. Reach out if you would like some help setting it up, I work with data like this all day and would be happy to help.
I followed this channel since early on and I am flat impressed with y’alls set up. It’s crazy how I feel some sort of sense of exclusivity. Like I’m in a secret club. 😂😂 But yeah I’ve been watching ever since that ultra aggressive little bass they caught (on rod and reel) and kept in that indoor fish tank. That little dude was straight bloodthirsty. He would smash anything y’all dropped and he didn’t waste time. I think it was Moby but if so, I’m surprised he’s only just now going in the backyard pond. The way he was eating, I figured he’d be a juicy little pickle, on his way to Hog status by now.
The fact you're keeping track is so cool, I'm sure some interesting data will come out of all that at some point. Enjoy your paradise dude! I'm definitely jealous!
Bama Bass! This has been my favorite YT channel by far! Thank you for this content! My sons and i enjoy watching your content! The Sandel’s thank you for your entertaining videos all the way from Newbedford, MA! God bless man! 😁 🎣
Imagine having a bonfire and being able to just chill out there. And go on the boat, fish as you please. So relaxing and beautiful. Wish it was in my yard. I have a large pond in my front yard, but over the years.. trees came and the water level went down. Now it's like a swamp. And I'm not "allowed" to fix it because it's "protected waterlands." Meanwhile, I just wanna bring it back to it's former glory!
Loving the work and effort put into this project. The level of detail and data being collected from everything that you guys do to the ecosystem is just wonderful. Keep up the great work in restoring your part of this spaceship earth that we are all on!! Cheers from Oz
Later on it could be cool to see what bait the bass prefer, throw out a few rods with a shad, prawn, or bluegill on a bobber and circle hook and see what gets the most interest.
Man I remember randomly having your video pop up on my feed a while back. At the beginning stages of the pond getting created. To see over time what it has become is just beautiful. Love watching your videos man. Such great spirited people. Stay blessed brother
i love your video. i honestly must say that this has to be the most tranquil and always interesting subs i have. I think my favorite segment is always catching up with the wildlife, it seems like there's always work to be done.
It may not be a bad idea to stock the pond with 2500 of your prawns from a different shipment just to see how the handle your algea problem and also just how they'll handle the pond and how life in the pond will handle them. Just an experiment... dragonfly larvae do wonders on this stuff and I'msure you know what else they can help with. Everything looks great btw!
Great episode as always. To help with the water temp in the indoor tanks, you could pick up a couple of 6-inch fans to blow over your led lights it definitely helps me in my application.
Glad to see you didn't remove the tree and its chlorophyll came back. That will be a beautiful row of trees someday. Some future date you'll need to put in some smaller vegetation around the pond to attract some bugs that would be a healthy addition to the fish dietary ecosystem.
From Tuscaloosa, 40 year old master fishermen. Love your stuff brother, just hearing your voice reminds me of being home and with the fellas, but I’m on coastal Florida and can’t go back… Damn Snook got me
I'm not a fisherman but wow, this is one of the coolest projects I have ever seen come to life. So the rain should be able to sustain the level of the pond? I am curious to see what types of wildlife shows up. Looks like the birds are already finding it but I wonder if any migrating birds will being to stop there over the next few years. I will continue to watch your series. very impressed. God bless you sir.
In GA ponds we used little floating plants to filter out the water. They are easy to remove if needed but they work great as filters and give areas for smaller fish to hide.
I am glad to say I’ve watched this pond build since the very beginning and I’m stoked to see the future for this pond, keep up the good work! Support from Hawaii🤙
I love this channel! I really like the wildlife it has brought too! Its too bad he cant put some native plants in though. Maybe when Greg the pond guy gets there he can have some suggestions. Because he is obsessed with ponds LOL. In fact he's building ponds at two other channels I follow. I love the night shots keep up the good work :)
Nice to see hen tubes in use. Little tip for the next time. Add roofing felt sheet before hay so it gives extra cover against sun and rain. Hope to see some action on those duck nests 🫡
Folks at home, Welcome back to the crimson oak pond! and if youre new to this series we built this 5 acre pond over the past year. And it took us several months to get all of the dirt excavated, and we had to bring in several truckloads of clay. and we also built an island, a dock and got all of the structure in place. and then it took a couple of months to get it full of water. after that we stocked it with a bunch of baitfish. including bluegills and threadfin shad. and not long after that we stocked with these little 2 inch aggressive bass. and were gonna be giving you an update on them here in just a minute and showing you just how big theyve gotten.
Awsome video as always! I was inspired by you to get a bass so I caught a little LM bass and named him Moe, he lived in my 120 gal tank for 6 months before I released him into a friends pond. So, it would be awsome if you could name one of the bass after Moe for me! Thank you for uploading every week, I don't know how yall do it but I love watching your videos! Keep it up! :)
Absolutely love the series, always wanted to do a project like this or have a property with a pond on it. The only personal addition I would add would be a bridge to the Island high enough to get under with a flag pole of course.
Perfect timing. I've been binge watching Brits and Gulf states UA-cams on duck tubes and floating water plant islands. Stuff the nest 3/4 full since they never bring any material to the nest and they will pick at the sides and make huge bald spots throughout the nesting period.
My wife and I always look forward to your Pond updates! We absolutely love all of the things you do to make it a sanctuary for ALL of your local wildlife! Tons of helpful information; this is primo content. Keep up the good work and best to you and your growing family. The wifey and I want to get in on the bass contest, so we came up with a bunch of choices for you to choose from. Can't believe we didn't try to get in on this sooner! Bass Names: Ann Chovy or Ahab, Bill Nye the Science Fry, Cletus or Clementine, Eden, Flounder, Ismael (narrator of Moby Dick), Kryptonite, Magikarp, Nat King Cod, Odessa, Persephone, Quandary, Reel Easy, Tartar Sauce, Urchin, Venom, Wake, Yuppie or Yondu, Zipper
If I would be doing this I would use plant life and multi pond method The plant life takes care of the algae, keeps the water clear and also helps feed the "bait fish" as well as giving them a place to hide. The multi pond gives the "bait fish" a place to hide and breed.... you use pile of rocks and gravel at a deep part of the main pond to protect a pump that pumps the water in to the smaller pond though couple of water falls and/or water fountains to help add oxygen to the water. You use the water fountains/water falls to also control the water level of the ponds, there is no chance of fish slipping out of the pond though the over flow and the newly added water will have a chance to get to temperature and mix with the current water as to not "shock" the fish in any way. the pump at the bottom of the pond is a good way to help clean out any sentiment introduced by the rain, but you can also use a pump near the surface of the water to help clear out any floating debris like leaves and twigs. *Added bonus the smaller pond can be used as a swimming pool*
Finally back to this video, I found the pond because this video so I went subscribed and watched every single episode of the pond series, absolutely love watching these videos and it’s great to see the pond from start to finish within such a fast time of watching the videos!
Always enjoy the Sunday pond updates!
👍
Good
Good nice
you enjoy stagnant unnatural pond updates? ok

This pond building series is amazing buddy!
Bamabass should sent you in to find Bonny and Clyde (and soon Moby)

This pond build has been one of my favorite series on UA-cam. So epic!
Agreed 🫡🫱🏾🫲🏻
No doubt, I don't even like fishing, but always watch the new uploads from the Crimson Oak...
Even better than minecraft
I want to win the lottery so I can buy some land and build a 5 acre pond on it here in Kentucky. That's would be so fun.
It’s such a good series, even UA-cam’s commented on it
Are there local water plants you can add to your pond? These will easily out compete the algae for nutrients and naturally aid you in your pond maintenance. The faster the plant grows, the better. They will also create places to hide and feed for your fish.
Agreed, plants are important for the eco system. I was surprised they was not initially planted when the pond was first established.
@@laurencemoore8519 he probably doesn't want to plant anything that will penetrate his clay liner with their roots.
@@Stephen85he could put substrate but idk if that will work
@@Stephen85even floating plants with roots which would act as the hiding spots would work
Or you could build a floating hydroponics raft, with a matt of some hardy plants on it that can easily grow with their roots in water, but wont damage lining, eg kang kong, (food plant). Or pothos.

Wake up babe, BamaBass posted.
😂
This kind of comment never gets old
me when
ong bruh😊
HAHAHAHA
I love how I'm mentally taking notes as if Im gonna building a duck nest in my non existent pond
😅 ikr.. I think we've all dreamed of building our own perfect bass pond..
who knows? You might get enough motivation to try.
Agreed. Have to 😂.
I have been adding carp and striped mullet to a storm water pond by my house to get the algea under control and stocked it with bass and shellcrackers from the creek it's over flow dumps into. I do believe this is as close as I will ever get lol.
Happy Hunting !

Here in North Dakota, the Game and Fish drops big haybales vertically in the water so the top is dry and ducks and geese alike love nesting on those.
I've never seen a duck house like that before that's interesting can't wait to see them use it and this is the coolest pond ever!
It is great, but none of the animals use it.. or it’s never been shown
Looks nice and easy to build, but I wonder how the ducks get into it.
@@testiclejuice by flying
He did say water was about 8 inches lower than normal. When pomd is dull they should have no trouble getting into the straw tube
Ah I thought he meant the floating duck house. Not the duck tubes

Thanks for showing your ponds water parameters, it helps experienced aquarium and aquaculture owners to understand what’s happening
ok

I might have to give Entourage another watch. I loved that show!
It's amazing they have access to all these services to build the pond. That's why the USA is so great.
Theres a company for literally every small task
The usa is never out of services
Me having a bad day but then I hear: "Folks at home" 🔥🔥
Keep it up man 👍

Holy moses the change w the Sunday product. Im really really impressed. Im looking that service up now.
I been watching since you started digging the pond it’s amazing what you’ve done so cool man
This pond update has been incredible to follow. Best series on UA-cam.

Then pull it into a Power BI summary that you could share with all subscribers in a view only format.

That is a GREAT idea for a video! Like set up all the rods on the bank. And keep count how many times each gets chosen, and by what.
the prawn's sound gourmet to me, probs why kept separate
Bass are looking good boy! Real nice. And blew my mind w the double up.
I absolutely love the pond series, from the build to stocking and all the wildlife. Would be a dream to have a pond like that.
Man I remember randomly having your video pop up on my feed a while back. At the beginning stages of the pond getting created. To see over time what it has become is just beautiful. Love watching your videos man. Such great spirited people. Stay blessed brother
Tilapia are incredibly invasive try to limit the numbers throughout the years to keep the pond healthy
Tilapia will die in the winter and the bass will eat them.
And tilapia taste great.
Tilapia don’t taste that great, and Alabama doesn’t get harsh enough winters to knock em out.
Tilapia tastes great if you bread it and put salt on it
@@EasyModeFishing Good !
I’m so glad I found your Channel. It’s oddly therapeutic.

These videos make my Sunday way better knowing I have school tomorrow😂 could you name a bass emerald for me?
I never seen moby so calm and relaxed. Almost looked like he knew that feeding was the last one there, and he wanted to enjoy the moment ahah.
This is the first video within the last 4-5 with new feeding footage for moby. Literally the last 4-5 videos were the same exact footage

That one tree must of been shocked. They're all looking good
Absolutely love the series, always wanted to do a project like this or have a property with a pond on it. The only personal addition I would add would be a bridge to the Island high enough to get under with a flag pole of course.

Perfect timing. I've been binge watching Brits and Gulf states UA-cams on duck tubes and floating water plant islands. Stuff the nest 3/4 full since they never bring any material to the nest and they will pick at the sides and make huge bald spots throughout the nesting period.
My wife and I always look forward to your Pond updates! We absolutely love all of the things you do to make it a sanctuary for ALL of your local wildlife! Tons of helpful information; this is primo content. Keep up the good work and best to you and your growing family.
The wifey and I want to get in on the bass contest, so we came up with a bunch of choices for you to choose from. Can't believe we didn't try to get in on this sooner!
Bass Names: Ann Chovy or Ahab, Bill Nye the Science Fry, Cletus or Clementine, Eden, Flounder, Ismael (narrator of Moby Dick), Kryptonite, Magikarp, Nat King Cod, Odessa, Persephone, Quandary, Reel Easy, Tartar Sauce, Urchin, Venom, Wake, Yuppie or Yondu, Zipper
If I would be doing this I would use plant life and multi pond method
The plant life takes care of the algae, keeps the water clear and also helps feed the "bait fish" as well as giving them a place to hide.
The multi pond gives the "bait fish" a place to hide and breed....
you use pile of rocks and gravel at a deep part of the main pond to protect a pump that pumps the water in to the smaller pond though couple of water falls and/or water fountains to help add oxygen to the water.
You use the water fountains/water falls to also control the water level of the ponds, there is no chance of fish slipping out of the pond though the over flow and the newly added water will have a chance to get to temperature and mix with the current water as to not "shock" the fish in any way.
the pump at the bottom of the pond is a good way to help clean out any sentiment introduced by the rain, but you can also use a pump near the surface of the water to help clear out any floating debris like leaves and twigs.
*Added bonus the smaller pond can be used as a swimming pool*
Nick Saban would approve of this pond. A lot of 5 ⭐️ recruits!! Haha go dawgs! Love the channel.
