Last chance to comment below what you think we should name the new pond. We will pick the best name at the end of this series and fly the winner out to fish with us once we get it stocked!
Barrow pond, named after Bonnie and Clyde's gang.
Name the pond "El Spooky" PLEASE🥺
The BBP ( bama bass pond) best one I could think of 😬
Bama Falls
Hiiiii
not sure why or how I stumbled across this series... but its one of the most entertaining things ever! keep it up!
I was just going to say the same thing! Top quality viewing 👍
I strongly agree
Welcome to the gang and the new journey!
Same here. I'm from Alabama (256) and I appreciate that this is on my feed.
Same here brother
My friend has a property near y'all's and he has trespassers all the time. How he got rid of them was he put up a sign with a picture of the dudes and told them that he'd sue him. He hasn't had a problem since.
The only glaring problem I see with this pond is, how in the world are you going to get anything done around the farm. I mean who would not be there fishing everyday? Looks great. The view from the ATV really shows the depth and areas around the lake. Looks awesome.
He doesn't farm other than planting some for wildlife. He leases it to a farmer for the rest. Idk if he is even going to continue that going forward.
I’d line the slopes of the island with rocks and boulders for some more structure. Maybe use that old milk can for a place for catfish to hide if you’re putting them in the pond.
If he’s trying to grow big bass, he won’t want catfish in his pond
@@Jack-ml2cn I’ve fished plenty of ponds with both and they still had big fish. I’d rather have a pond with more species than bass and bluegill, but that’s just me. Some of the best ponds I ever fished had bass, bluegill, sunfish, perch, crappies, channels, bullheads and Pickerel all in one pond and they were full of big fish.
Anthony Aversano I won’t disagree with you there, but I know plenty of ponds that have both and are full of big ones. I’d rather have a pond full of panfish than bass anyway though.
It would be cool to use a piece of the oak tree to also make a coffee table that is a replica of the pond, carving out the contour of the pond bed and using epoxy for the water.
That’d be epic.
Genius! Great table/map
Nice idea but remember, every epoxy yellows over time and more/thicker you cast it the fast is degrades.
That’s a sick idea!
@@CoalCoalJames use blue dye, then if it develops a yellow tent it should turn greenish...replicating algae growth lol
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Moby's genetics must be preserved at all costs. Imagine having a lake full of savages like him!
Having that many aggressive fish, he'll only have aggressive bass till only 1 is left
Moby 800s coming to take out the pond's ecosystem before its even established! 😂heheheh 😅
@@PurpleDrac IKR lol
need to line the bottom of the finished pond with rip rap, medium and small gravels to help with water clarity if you plan on filming under water.
moron above me
@@thechestnutking736 literally the only thing you comment on this channel is hate comments, I can tell you’re a real winner!
@@thechestnutking736 you do know it shows me all the comments you post on this channel, right? You’re only goal here is to hate on someone who can afford something you can’t.
@@thechestnutking736 Yea I’m sure you are a consultant for a big company. Just basing of the way you act in his comment section I’d bet you’re lying.
This king pond definitely needs cameras all over. There is nothing like this pond build I’ve seen.
The lake build is coming along great!! Having built a ten acre pond back in 2003 you have a awesome team building the pond bringing your and their ideas together, this is going to be a beautiful monster bass factory! I hate you had to bring in the needed clay, we were blessed to have had all we needed on site.
I have a few more suggestions that you may have or have not considered: add a open/ close valve and bottom drain to control water levels, having the ability to drop the lake level in advance of flood conditions and for maintenance is so helpful, would eliminate the need for a extenal pump to drop the lake when needed, add a deep water pickup that extends down over the vertical stand pipe which doubles as trash rack that allow the water level to be maintained but drawn from much lower in the water column instead of from the surface this will dramatically help with maintaining alge blooms after fertilization and removed decomposing bottom materials while helping create lower current or you considering bottom aeration? Additionally, consider adding very large spawning mats in your spawning areas and then cover them with your planned pea gravel, it keeps gravel from sinking into the bottom and help keep the silt over time from burying them, the bass, bluegill and other forage fish will have a easier time fanning them out when making beds and will last much longer. Lastly, again for insurance with the dam being so large and L shaped I still would add a second emergency spillway for coverage on both ends of the dam one activating sooner then the other in a flood. Those road beds and drop offs are going to be killer! Can wait to see your structure placement. Don't be afraid to make the series clips longer we love them😊.
From the island to the edge of the pond you should put a “bridge” to connect them and use telephone poles as bases. In the summer that would provide additional shade for the fish, the telephone poles being course would promote algae growth for the shad to feed on and you can even string some lights in them as well.
You should set up a series of 4 or more different cameras in different parts of the pond to see how the fish relate and act in different covers.
and what of the coyotes and their uncanny field vision? what if they see the bridge then decide to c'mon over for snack. 🧐
@@PurpleDrac OK so I actually thought about this. Wouldn’t it be cool if maybe he put it on like a winch like a mini drawbridge and like left the telephone pole bases where they were and made a walking platform that was on a winching system and all he would have to do is go to it or even maybe do it remotely and be able to winch it up and down and like obviously you know at night leave it up or he could even make it tall and leave it like a gate and be able to open and close it without worrying about the ducks getting harmed.
unless he was 🤔to barricade it? but all depending on the structure might look tacky. So I still say no 🧐
Something to deter them from crossing it 🧐 then I'll 👍🏽greenlight it.
While you still have all the equipment there you should make a bait pond to grow your own fish to feed bonnie and clyde. you could call it the bootlegger bait pit.
They are setting up the whole pond to be a viable eco system, the bait is going in the main pond.
I think in one of his earlier videos he mentioned that he's going to use one of his other ponds for that purpose once the bass are in the big pond
Or just start shooting. Theyll know!!!
@@MLGtroll365 Uhhh, what?
@@CoalCoalJames wont be any bait left once moby gets in there tho
I’m late, and this will probably get buried in the 1.2 thousand comments, but I suggest you name the pond the tiger pit, as you said you will be stocking it with tiger strain largemouth. Another name for the pond (or the dam) could be The Bank, as, like Bonnie and Clyde did, you will be taking gold (bass) from it.
The internet constantly surprises me . Here I am again , listening to a cool American voice chatting about , and showing anyone interested , how to build a bass pond . I live in a condo , have never gone fishing , and yet find myself delighted to see your video pop up . I am already looking forward to seeing the next step .
Trespassers. I never even thought of that. That’s definitely going to be a pain in the ass for you. Love watching your build by the way.
Get motion activated lights to scare off trespassers, along with an audio recording of "You are being recorded and police are on their way."
Im a Ups driver in NC..... i would love to take a vacation in that state and bring my daughters fishing there!!! my father n law is building me a pond for my kids... but your's WOW!!!!!!
That’s an old Milk jug not an urn. Cool discoveries! You going to have a mini museum with all these finds?
looks more like a still bottom
No, it’s a jar y’all
Seen them in old doco's, it's most likely a milk jug (they all have the same shape mostly).
@@diesle05 No it's an old milk canister, my grandmother used to have one sitting in the corner of the living room.
It also looks like it was shot or a firework was dropped in there maybe?
A friend and I have thrown our real Christmas trees in his lake in different spots for some structure and it has turned into some amazing crappie areas.
Christmas trees change the pH of water so there's a reason biologists and warden don't want anglers to drop pine trees into lakes
You need to scatter rock piles throughout as well.This will provide crayfish hides and spawning areas!
That's a good idea! They are good decomposers and eat all kinds of stuff.
I absolutely love this series, i cant wait to see the pond completed! Also, just so you know bullfrogs are extremely invasive in a lot of areas and will eat other native amphibians, their food sources, and fish eggs so I would avoid letting him stay!
I would let him stay so that I would have more frog legs to eat.
A timelapse video 🎥 of the whole build would be cool 😎 to see 💪
I might try to put something together from start to finish once we are done
@@BamaBass Its okay if its really long! We'd love to watch it!! :)
I wish you would drag this out more because I’m really enjoying the pond build content and it’s flying by!
I just want to say thank you, your videos brighten my day
Thank you sir, I’ve had a really bad day today.. you just made me smile, like always. God bless
All I want to say is that you have some extremely lucky pets
“Love Pond” cause I see a whole lotta love in the family and love for nature... 🙏 yall
Bass and other fish are going to love that pond. So many depth changes, so much bedding room, nice size, that is every fisherman’s dreams on building a pond like that. You did a fantastic job at setting the pond up, many just dig a big bowl and have zero contour to the bottoms. Plenty of pockets and holes
It would be nice to see a cost break down at the end of this for some of us that are looking into doing a similar project.
He said in a previous video that he was going to do that once it's all said and done.
That root system is going to catch some hooks, maybe better to place it away from the potential swimming path between the dock and the island.
This pond looks like it's going to thrive! 10 plus pounders all day! Place the tree trunk in the area of the pond where it's slightly submerged just below the water level. Will be cool to fish 360 degrees around it with a jig or worm👌🏼
I like the sound of "Bandits Bayou". Perfect for the famous outlaws that will be lurking in there soon!
That piece of rusty steel was a old milk can. We used to use them back when grandpa was milking. You would fill them up and then load them in the old pickup and take them to the creamery.
Put up motion activated security lights for the tresspassers. Sure, wildlife would trip them too, but lights coming on also scares away people up to no good. Also add a PA system to tell them to scram , that you're calling the cops.
What a treat to watch this peanut field be transformed into a pond fishery. Thank you BamaBass for the entertaining and informative content. Can't wait to see it filled and fished.
You will have your hands full keeping people out of there! I have a 2 acre pond, it’s always been a constant battle keeping trespassers out. Someone caught a bass that weighed around 7 pounds and just threw it in the grass beside the pond. They destroyed 4-5 big grass carp. I finally had to get rough, and put cameras up everywhere. They catch you gone or sneak in at night! You have a beautiful project going there. Can’t wait to see it finished!!
Greatest series on UA-cam right now. You already know I’m sticking with the “Bonnie and Clyde bass factory” name
That is a good one
I look forward to this series every week. Love it. Totally stoked for you guys.
I watch a fair amount of pond builds, this crew is impressive.
You should put a nice gazebo on the island and have some paddle boats to go back an fourth to the island. It could be a nice little place to relax an fish. Gonna be a beautiful setting
Name it tombstone (after the town in Arizona) while bonnie and clyde wernt there. Tombstone had a tough crowd and those bass hybirds you plan are adding are vicious. And it would fit in with the outlaw theme
i love this idea
I can’t wait to see this pond. Definitely wide and full of life.
I think you are spot on creating habitat & sleeping/roosting area for a flock of hand raised ducks. An inside/outside duck coop w/ some large weeping willows the ticket.
this is literally my favorite series on youtube
I can tell you from experience and I am like you I live in Alabama, the only thing that trespassers are scared of when they are sneaking in at night or day to fish your pond that you have worked very hard on and spent a ton of money on is the business end of a Remington Model 870 shotgun, a 9mm Glock or a Smith and Wesson 357. I have fought this battle and people don't care what you say or do to deter their efforts. Fences, Gates and Signs do not even slow them down. But, when you show them the business end of a gun they seem to get the message. I am sorry to say it has to go that far but it will and that is what it will take to stop it. Really like your channel and videos. Tight lines and bent rods to you and your family my friend.
I think it should be called lake Joplin because Bonnie and Clyde had a hideout in Joplin Missouri. Hopefully the lake will be be Bonnie and Clyde’s hideout
That’s the best name I’ve seen yet I can’t think of a good name so good luck!
That IS a good one…
Thanks
I live in Missouri and had no idea! This is definitely a fitting name for the pond:)
Whenever I accomplish some small task at work or around the house, or do some kind of trick to entertain the kids, now a voice in my head says "Got 'em!"
We have a 128 foot, 3 foot high island near the middle of our 3.5 acre pond/dam and settled our ducks on it by adding cat tails and papyrus to the edges.
For housing we use three plastic pallets with an "A" frame of recycled corrugated iron (hail damaged roofing from the neighbors house) over the top of some limited amount of straw that we put available for them in each 'hide'/'nest'. They hide amongst the reeds and, with a small area of grass on the top (kept short by the two geese) we have a very successful breeding group of ducks supplying us with enough duck eggs to make the occasional cake.
Since the ducks were originally 'wild' and we just found them milling about on the pond after we built the thing, we have NEVER fed them anything so the cost has been minimal.
So - some form of reeds - suitable for the area you are - and some form of home would make for duck heaven on the island
Love the channel 👊 can’t wait for the UNITS you are going to catch out of there!!!
its nice to have bull frogs, looks like he has been there a while. be careful, they will eat anything that will fit into there mouth, anything. hope you make a place in your pond for the bluegill to spawn, then you can take a bucket of crickets out and load up on em, or a poppin bug :)
I have loved watching you guys and gals do this 5 acre pond build. It's the best setup I seen so far and believe me I've seen a lot of them.
That’s a massive build!! Beautiful!!
Barrow pond, named after Bonnie and Clyde's gang
Or Barrow Bay
Love these but I hate waiting for a week to see a video 😂
I love watching the progress on the Ancient Oak bass pond. Thank you for sharing these weekly updates! Super excited for you and your family!
Congratulations on all your success. I won a goldfish painted crank bait from you a couple years ago, and it has produced. Thanks again
it would be neat to see one of those laser grid flashlights flown from the drone at night to see all the pond contours before you fill it with water
Seeing this all come together after watching your backyard pond for months is amazing. Watching this all come together as you explain your ideas for different areas is so inspiring! Can't wait to see what this project becomes!
I'ts so exciting! I can't wait to see the pond filled, when vegetation starts to grow in a bit. To have seen it built from the ground up is such an interesting process, thanks for documenting this!
I look forward to these videos every week! Cannot wait to see the finished product!!!
Clyde’s cove is begging for the oak roots as a centerpiece
“Basshaven” would be a great name. Great series sir…best of luck with everything
A great big go on the duck island. That "can" is a old school milk can. I used one for bringing water home before w had our own well for water. Callthe pond Big Bass Pond. Nice tutorial on a pond build, Thanks.
You sir are creating a bass fisherman heaven !!!!!
Love the series! Are you planning on scattering rock piles in various locations in the pond?
We didn't have to build our own fishing pond, the rock quarry people did it for us👍
I’m loving watching this from Australia. This is amazing watching the process and your thought process of making it work to the bass. Cheers for doing this
Lookin good. Can’t wait to see the Sally Oak pond filled with water.
I put some bluegill in my swimming pool to see what they would do, and almost all of them gravitated toward the stairs. So, I suggest adding stair step structures below the waterline to maximize fish holding structure. This also helps to maximize underwater Earth surface area which helps to regulate temperature. Cinderbloc is about the best way to achieve this, but still looking for alternatives
I’m turning old I’m watching a guy making a pond lmao
Really cool what you've done with this build. Thanks for showing us all the progress. Super happy for you and I hope it 's everything you wanted.
I'm amazed by this pond build!!! you thought of everything....great job!!
That wasn't an urn. That's what farmers would put milk in to haul off to the dairy.
If you build a bridge, name it Bonnie's bridge since you have Clyde's cove.
That would be cool maybe once its going he can feed them off there
Wow I think the pond should be named after the blue tractor!! 🚜
Just knowing it will be down there forever I love it, how it broke down!
YT recommended your channel, I'm so glad I clicked on this gem. I really enjoyed the 7 days of building this pond. I am looking forward to the rest of the build. You have such a calming voice and your narration is spot on. Thank you for sharing! Sub'd.
Pond name ideas
“Clydes throne”
“Clonnie lake”
“Moby’s territory”
“Bass palace”
“Lone oak”
“Oak lake”
“Bascal flatts”
I love the “Moby’s Territory” one 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When Moby finally gets to the farm pond he's going to be caught more than any fish there
I enjoyed the short video from the Polaris. That's the kind of view the fish will have swimming around on the depths. Cool.
Loch Bama - Loving the video's. Great voice over and progress. :) Thank you for sharing.
Contact the local sheriff, pd or game warden about the trespassers
He did lol
Yes, and ask them about spike strips :D Poach their tires before they poach your bass.
Um....did you watch the video?
I think y'all should just list the local mortuary phone number right under the Keep Out sign. And make sure you collect all your used shotgun shells next time you go to the range - leave 'em laying around the entrance for the dumbasses to see. Some stupid ones can't read a lick, but they understand that kinda message...
Never understood people wanting to eat bass, Crappie and Bluegill taste way better imo.
Doesn’t taste bad, tastes good if you cook it right. Super easy to catch, you can usually get a good meal with a small 4 or 5 lb bass. If your starving or fishing for your food you’ll eat whatever.
@@smashdtrash3432 Didnt say it tasted bad but blue gill are easy to catch and taste better. I would never eat a bass that big. Those fish are not long from being trophies in my state so I want them to get bigger. If I absolutely had to eat a bass it would be a 1.5 to 2 lber at the most.
Looking great rainy season just around the corner to get that pond filled!! Can’t wait until you get the structure started
Glad you did the drive through of the pond it’s really shows the depth of the pond!
Anyone else been counting down the days every week for the new episode of the pond build? Only 1 more day!
Love the growth of the pond and all the structures to it bet its going to be a good honey hole for them big ones. Ready to see the outcome of this pond
i really like the oak tree on the island idea, good cover for the ducks too
Dude I’ll come sit on your land for free and watch guard! So frustrating to hear people disrespecting your hard work like that. So excited to see you fishing once it’s all done!!
This pond is gonna be epic👌
I look forward to your videos now. I love how it is just informative and fun to see your projects get done.
Your videos are some of the best I've seen. My girlfriend thought I was tripping about getting one build. We have about 20 acres and I wanna do some cool stuff with it. Thank you for the inspiration.
I love it. The pond build is getting really exciting. Can’t wait for the next update.
This has been a great journey so far Sir! Thank you for sharing.
Ahhhhh!!! It’s almost done!!! Can’t wait for y’all to get it filled up!
Love seeing the progress.
Bama Basin would be a killer name for the pond
This series is sooooooo cool!!! Amazing how much is involved to building a pond!
I wish I could describe how much joy it brings me watching this series
I've been watching these like crazy. VERY COOL.
im so fascinated with this! makes me wanna fish
