This isn't a pond build, this is a birth of an Oasis.
They do in that grass
where is the desert in this video?
A pond turned into a whole ecosystem
@@ongke8920 you can have Oasis's on tropical islands!
@@rocketrockstar8171 where is tropical on this video?
You should start planting more plants along the banks. It gives good habitat for spawning
I built a goldfish pond in my UK back garden and all the wildlife I see is a a couple of frogs and a hedgehog that comes for a drink at night. You have eagles! I've never even seen an eagle outside of a zoo. Absolutely fantastic series.
In Belgium my pond also attracts Herons and a Kingfisher. Bad for the fish, but beautiful birds.
I think you should invite some of your local school kids out, talk to a few teachers, bring them out introduce them to outdoor life. You and your family have created such a great educational platform for learning. Keep up the great work!
I don't know about that. The kids and parents would always ask to keep coming and start getting annoyed when the owner says no. Then people might sneaking in and tension between owner and fishers would get worse and worse. It happens alot in trout rivers in Australia that go through farmland.
Sounds like a liability nightmare. No waaaay
Interduce
Nope
Nope. Bad idea. Let the man have his privacy 😂
Drop everything to watch when I get the notification you uploaded. “Oasis” would be a sick name seeing as the pond has become such an oasis for the wildlife around you!!!
where is the desert around?
@@ongke8920 an oasis doesn’t have to be in a desert or around sand, it really is just a beacon of life for animals around
@@TheDryLevy Exactly, thank you!!
But do you watch it on FULL SCREEN?!?!?!
Stolen comment
One thing u don’t want are cormorants. They eat so many fish/baitfish.
I agree
Shoot, shovel and shut up.
Shoot it
Challengebbbb.
They can eat up to 3 kg of fish a day, keep an eye on it dude, if more come they’ll clean you out.
I can only DREAM of having the $$ and property to do what you have done. I know it takes a LOT of planning and $$ to achieve it all. My hats off to ya from Chattanooga TN
The bluegill eating the lizard was cool!
If you plan on keeping the top of that drain trench open then you are probably going to put some kind of series of steps on both sides so the ducklings can get out. Trust me, they will somehow always, ALWAYS end up in areas that they can't get out of and it only takes a little bit of time for the mother duck to abandon her little ones.
Any wildlife small enough to not be able to climb out will be able to fit through the drainage pipe.
Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us! I am terminally ill and these videos make me so happy! It truly helps take my mind off of the bad stuff, which sadly there is a lot atm. God bless you and thank you so much for sharing the pond build with us, it is truly a blessing to watch the pond come to life and all of God's creatures coming to live there! I LOVE IT!!!! :)
🕊❤️
God bless you
godspeed
I had a juvenile eagle fly around my neighborhood once, and you could hear the crows for miles. they traded off attacking and scaring away eagle. It was a crazy aerial display! They chased him higher and higher and for a pretty great distance. It’s neat to observe such crazy intelligence of the crows. It almost seems human like because they really behave as if they are protecting more than just themselves, and they have a concept of value for their environment.
Crows do some crazy shit, I once saw them act just like a group of pick pockets does, to steal food from another animal. One or 2 crows will annoy and distract the animal, while a third one swoops in from the other direction and steals their food. Then the other 2 fly away and they meet back up to share it. They are highly social.
Flipper...F, Bama...B, Auburn...A in fact all the SEC schools could be named, maybe use all caps for Bama and small letters for the rest. I'm thrilled with what you've done with and what you continue to do with your property. I lived in Montgomery until 1989 then my wife and I moved back to Florida but we both miss Bama a lot. I swear if we still lived there I'd come down there and help for free. Not too much a 70 year old can do but that type of work is therapeutic. Keep up the good work, God bless
For over the past year or so, this has been my favorite Sunday night show! Bama Bass keep up the great work!! 🤙🏽
I love how calm you always are, makes this a great channel to revisit and decompress. Just fishing and aquaculture, a warm blanket at the end of the day.
One of the biggest things is his calm demeanor. Just a cool southern guy you would hang out drink beer and swap fishing stories.
Your pond is going to have so many giants in it. It’s going to be insane.
I'm from a big city up north. Watching your videos and listening to you explain every detail is so calming. I love nature, but it can be hard to appreciate in a concrete jungle. Thank you ❤️
I’ve been watching this channel from the first episode of this series, at first I didn’t even know there were many other videos. I’m a 27 year old Korean guy from Los Angeles and I didn’t realize I could ever be so interested in a series of this topic. I’ve never done any of the things here but it’s all so interesting. My favorite part of the videos are always the animals and I hope those ducks finally learned how to ducking (yes for the first time in history, pun intended) land. It was so sad seeing them crash. Please keep doing your doing big boss.
I love how you are conscientious of all of the wildlife even the predators instead of just focusing on the threat they could be to the work you've done. You have a really good outlook on things brotha
LETTER F - Flora! ... I know, fish are fauna, but as you point out the plants are an integral part of the community as well. Flora is also my daughter's name ;) - Best wishes with the ecological succession.
We have otters come to our local pond, cormorants too. It is a 4 acre pond, over 20' deep on one end and has a lot of grass. This has maintained a very healthy spotted bass and panfish population for over 50 years with heavy public fishing.
THE DEAD? OAK: If you want to have equal size on all the trees, you should replace the tree as soon as possible. It's probably dead. You check it by wrapping your hand around the trunk, it should feel cold. If you are unsure, compare with the green one next to it. Since all the other trees are alive, you haven't done anything wrong. Talk to the supplier and report it.
So if it doesn’t feel cold it’s dead/dying? Is this a pretty accurate way of finding out if an oak is dying? I hope it works like you say it does. That’ll be revolutionary for me 😂😂
This is a simple and accepted way to find out if a plant is dead. It is about the amount of water in the plant. It is difficult to judge if the plant has died recently, but this is a tree where the sap has not risen in the spring. If you still feel unsure, you can test yourself with leaves. A green one sitting on a tree and a brown (dry) one from last year. :)@@codygooch510
He’s right. Whether be it mold or fungus that tree is dying. And you certainly don’t want whatever is killing it to spread on the property. I’d remove it.
It's so awesome to see Moby grow into such a big bass compared to when he was first caught
He is big
I agree!
Build an eagle on the island since that’s where they hang out and put the duck houses somewhere on the sides
Miss your videos. I have really enjoyed watching the process of your lake build.
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS a GREAT Sunday whenever I’m off and bamabass posts! I look forward to these post mostly every week. Can’t begin to wonder how or why I began to be so invested in this series but I’m glad I did.
Been on this channel since the storm came and wiped the backyard pond out and I don’t see that stopping.
Sort of like Mutual of Omaha we used to watch on Sundays evenings. Lol! Getting to be a habit
The joy I get when I see a notification fir a new video, WATCHING THIS TONIGHT!
This is actually incredible. I’ve spent the last 3 hours watching all your videos. This is going to be the best pond in the nation for bass fishing. You’re doing an excellent job, not only for the fish, but for the entire ecosystem in your area. This is so awesome. I’d love to just come and sit and watch all the wildlife let alone throw a line in… *fun idea* maybe hold a catch and release tournament for less then able bodied kids who can’t fish normally!!!!
I would like to name a bass, Monsta, for the letter "M". What a great pond series! I can't wait for each new video! We have created 2 small pond here in SW Michigan. My wife is a goldfish farmer.
I like the name "Icarus" for a missing letter I . Probably my favorite series on all of UA-cam. Truly inspirational Bamabass and something I wanna try and eventually do up here in the North with Small Mouth and Walleye
Name suggestion for the W - Wumbo ! From that spongebob episode where they stole the belt from Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy hope this reaches you well. Have been watching this series since the first bucket of dirt got scooped out of the ground. Love it. The video's are my start of the week when i ride the train to school on monday morning here in the Netherlands.
The pond’s journey should be a TV series. I’ve been captivated. Thanks for the hard work and then even more work to edit and share the footage with us!
Honey, wake up! Bamabass posted!
You have taught me so much about pond biology. I have a biology degree and you do things i would never even consider. Impressively well researched thanks so much for the series and promoting wildlife conservation. We need to rewild many areas in this country. We destroyed so much and it will never be the same, but we can do better. You have made such a big impact.
@@tonyb7748 A lot of damns need removed, fish need to be reintroduced to certain bodies of water.... so many things! Im encouraged by the efforts I have seen tho! I have seen vids of river restorations. Always great to see.
Y’all should build a bridge over the smaller pond
C=Captain M=Maxwell. Great series you have created!
Just a small suggestion for the trench. You might want to think of putting a four to six inch dam in the trench a couple of feet from the pipe. Something as simple as a piece of angle steel, six inches on each leg, cut to the width of the trench. By putting this into the trench it will stop any mud or garbage from flowing into the pond. At work we had a trench in the middle of the wash rack for employees to clean their trucks and equipment. When I had to take the snowcat to Virginia Peak for my monthly microwave radio and generator run, depending how far down the mountain I had to unload, my truck, trailer and snowcat would be covered with mud. The next day I had to spend all day cleaning the mud off them with the pressure washer, then clean all the mud from the washing pad. The last thing I had to do is clean the eight inches of mud which had accumulated in the bottom of the mud trench. The mud trench had a steel plate slid into a slot a few inches before the drain. Most of the time the mud was up to the bottom of the grates, and after some really muddy trips the mud with be hiding the grates. I just removed the grates and would put sever shovel fulls into a bucket to put into the dumpster. I would not be surprised if some days I had removed near 1,000 pounds of mud from the trench.
When the grass and vegetation has grown Infront of the trench this probably won't be a problem
Not a bad idea.
@@korzer He had grass and vegetation before, but the rain took it out.
Shad: "Oh my, what a nice new home!"
Bass: "It's suppa time!"
INCOGNITO for a bass starting with the letter I. As in: that bass is hunting for food incognito :)
Name Ideas: Indigo, Lil Bandit, Apollo, Gillbert, Carlton, Mathias, Quill, Zipper, Vuvu, Eggs, Kip, Pip squeak, Terrence, Ollio, Xander, Wagu, Yarrow. Love the videos, I tune in every week!!
Hey man, great idea to implement that drain.
One tip, if I may add, is to add like a check dam or a riprap. It's used to control and "filter" polluted soil from entering the water.
If interested, look up stormwater pollution prevention. Majority of pollutions in water comes from polluted soil, and one way to control that is to implement these "filter" systems on stormwater piping.
Holy smokes Moby has gotten SO BIG!! Remember how teeny tiny he was when you first brought him home? My goodness has he come a long way!!!
Great channel, keep up the good work!
You should get a RC boat with a camera on the bottom so we could see in the water
You have done an amazing job building this pond. The attention to detail is outstanding. I could only imagine five years or ten years from now. Can you say giants!!!!
Looks like the Crimson Oak Pond is going to be a fisherman's paradise. Name one of the bass Paradise, that would be fitting. Thanks for all of the hard work and content, been following for a few years now, always excited to see the next video and all of the animals.
dude I've watched every video you've posted about this pond. I'm so jealous I'd love to be able to build something like this and the fact that you're giving care to all the other animals is just the best. I wish more people were like you. keep up the good work man
Nature has its way to balance itself. You are creating an ecosystem . Relaxing in nature is as good as fishing.
❤🎉Yall should stock crappie and catfish in the 5acre pond!!!🎉 ❤
You have made an absolute slice of heaven! Such an enormous undertaking that has paid off handsomely! The diverse amount of wildlife that has made your beautiful pond home is truly inspirational. I believe most of us viewers are in awe of what you have accomplished! It's an absolute paradise!! I look forward every week to your next video!!!!
The pond is coming out super clean. May B&C have a fulfilment life
V-Vivan , cant belive you built this from nothing it takes years to complete such a project. good work
Would love to see a bass named BassZilla! 🦖
My Fiance and I binged every episode in this series in just a couple of weeks! Love watching every step of this pond build and can't wait to see what you do next! 😍
I love the fact that you are an actual legend in the fishing world, but kept it so real. Everytime you upload i know i’m about to watch the exact same thing i subscribed for many years ago! Watching you frog fishing with straight mono will always freak me out
This pond is just getting more and more epic.
Something that be really cool is one of those diy top off tank on top of the water so fish can swim into the tank freely and you can see fish swimming into it.
Moby doesn't even chew his meal. Great channel..Tks!
When I get the notification that you have uploaded, I put everything on hold to watch. Given that the pond has made me think of that adorable movie and the wildlife you created, *"RIO"* would be a fitting name.
I want to thank you for a very enjoyable series, not only informative and educational but beautiful and relaxing!
Seconded. Love it. All the best from Yorkshire, England 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧
Am i the only one who was waiting Sunday evening for the next video and when it didn't come out just watched this one again?
Yep
Seeing our channel name on your channel is the COOLEST THING EVER!
The pond is looking awesome, you really created a whole other ecosystem on your farm.
Name suggestion- indigo
This is by far one of the best channels I found right when you started the pond build. I'm not much of a fisherman but your videos, attention to detail/engineering, is awesome!
This is amazing. You didn't make a bass pond. You built a whole ecosystem in your backyard.
Ivan the Terrible!! I can't believe I made it through the whole playlist and my letter was still available!
I really like the naming contest. just a fun way to follow the growth of a new pond. love from your mississippi neighbor
Feeling with you, our Pond got cleared out by a fish otter family of 5! They caught every single fish. Now where we made it "Otter-Proof" we start over again. Hope your'e fish stay save. Thanks for another amazing update of the best Pond in the world. 🙂
how would an otter get into ur lake ? just curious...thanks
otters are the worse , they kill the fish for fun and dont eat them
I really love this series. I have watched it more than once lol
Thank you so much for giving some room and love to wildlive as well
I hope everyone has an amazing day week and year and decade and century
a .17 HMR with a can will turn the Cormorant into fish food real quick... don't let your daughter see it though.
Super excited for this domino effect transfer starting with Bonnie and Clyde to the Crimson Oak Pond!! 🥰🥰
i could have sworn the thumbnail was a screenshot from a video game. really beautiful
Hey bamabass. Marine biologist here you may already know this but with the pond addition near farming plots please be aware of the level of runoff that is entering the pond! During higher precipitation events fertilizers can run off into the pond and increase the amount of algae that is produced in a short period of time. It can over oxygenate the water and kill the fish and also make it hard to reclaim the water body after it has been overrun. Cheers.
Those bass spawn beds are extremely cool. Glad to see the bass using them so more of their fry survive the the copper nose piranhas.
So I am not a tree guy but, here in the Central Valley of California (think Modesto) the is a fairly common Oak and the leaves stay full and green till December. Them they all turn a deep brown but do not fall off, Then around Easter they fall off in clumps and then go through the bud and new leaf cycle late spring. During summer and early fall they look the same as any other oak. So maybe you got one of these weird oaks in your batch. Love what your doing and really love your pond life segments.
Reminding me of my Oakdale days haha
Great Horned Owls like the ones you have, don’t usually build their own nests or use nest boxes. They usually hijack nests made by other birds, especially nests made by ospreys and eagles. So if the ospreys make a nest on that platform, you may very well see the owls take it over next nesting season.
So cool to watch the transformation of this build. To see dirt grow into an entire wildlife habitat…very cool…great job..
There needs to be a update to the life of Moby after you get him into the backyard pond.
Honestly we all ready for like 2 videos a week. Been wanting to watch all of them
Best feel good youtube channel ever, great job from France
Wow, I’d love to fish here in about 4 or 5 years. 🏆🎣
I think this is a forlorn hope, but I'll give it one last shot. Fish name for "U": Ulysses
Such a pleasure watching these updates every week. Thanks for sharing all of this.
The pond updates are always my favorite anticipated videos! Even though there is water in it, the pond sure is still booming in new life and projects. It is indeed becoming an oasis. I would suggest a bass name of “Fathom”. 😊
Still waiting for a ❤ from BamaBass. 💯 Truly enjoy your videos.
Ideal is an ideal name for a bass
Not to mention Ive been loving this build all the way from the start where I came across your channel just as you started digging the dream!!❤
Those spawning beds are a great idea. Will be interested as to how they work out. Maybe more brush piles would also help the young fish?
Edit; Jealousy doesn’t even describe how I feel about your Beautiful pond. Wonderful place you’ve created Sir.
My personal opinion is that the entire pond should be one giant brushpile
@@oopsalldeoxys5060 No agreement from me, I would want a lot more cover. But I’m not an expert and he certainly seems to have things under control.
@@jandyg especially with cormorants and ospreys flying around
@@oopsalldeoxys5060 then it would be harder for the bass to hunt and you would get snagged everytime fishing
It's never too late to learn
Always so excited to see your name in my uploads! Could not picture a more perfect pond.
Name Suggestion: Ivar, if you catch him near the oak throne!
So excited for a new video! I didn’t realize how much I look forward to these every Sunday till last week but glad y’all took Easter off! Much love from North Alabama :)
Just like Mutual of Omaha back in the 60s lol
@@paulprigge1209 ha, I watched those in the early '80s when I was young too. They were great.
I seriously never thought I'd be so into watching the evolution of a bass pond! Little name idea: Zander. Thanks for sharing the evolution and can't wait to see what the future holds!
+1 Zander
That would be a better name for a walleye.
@@jic1 I can't disagree, the Zander is kind of the European version of a Walleye. I thought of it because Bass, Pike and Walleye are all similar fish so I figured it could fit aswell!
I just started binge-watching this projects documentary. It just came to me: how about putting a few bee-hives onto Alcatraz-Island? I’m sure neither your farm, nor other vegetation would not mind having them around!
I'm loving your videos, can't wait to see how the prawns go. I'm Australian and we have always had Yabbies, a small crawfish in our dams, but as you said they would demolish the clay.
I live in the N.T near Darwin, and we call that species Cherabin. The home of their natural habitat. Great fun for the kids to catch when they get bigger too. Put a ham bone or chicken carcase on a line in the pond, wait until they find it and drag it in. Hours of fun and excellent eating. When i saw that Cormorant I though, "hmmmm he has to go find a new home" 😂 I'm glad you addressed that, in an extremely tactful way too 😁👍. As a Bird nerd, i'm loving watching all your visitors. So beautiful. Currently binge watching and enjoying them all so far😊
Been watching your videos since day one. So cool how far it’s come. A great name for one of the bass is ATLANTIS! Keep up the great work!
in about 2-3 years this is going to be a trophy base "pond," its so awesome to see how its coming along, and it would be awesome if you could name one of the bass (Quincy).
Getting pretty close to 1 million subs. Hopefully soon. 🤞
I like the scientific approach, and the narration is awesome... very entertaining.
It really is so fascinating to see all the diverse wildlife that the pond ecosystems bring. Pretty soon we'll have to start calling it a wildlife sanctuary. Can't wait to see what the future holds, keep up the awesome content! 💪👍
Even after just four minutes of this video I can tell your Channel is and will be the best classroom for learning bass behavior I mean look what you have created it’s absolutely amazing I have to thank you for having the best channel on UA-cam man!
We love your channel! We watch your updates together with our two little girls ❤️ our name ideas are Zeke, Whopper, Oakly and Quill
You guys must be near Troy. I was the Service Manager at the Firestone and that guy would bring his PondStocker trucks in for tires.
