You should add some native creek fish like white suckers or northern hognose suckers into the new pond, especially the waterfall areas. They would help remove parasites and pests from the rocks and water and also are good forage for the trout and bass. They also make MASSIVE schools with other minnow species too!!
Yesss a small mouth bass would be insaneeee down south 🔥🔥they can be aggressive too the look like literal foot balls then at 6lbs and try worms for the trout
Your pond is looking more and more natural. The shores are settling and changing. Can't see the tire tracks from the heavy equipment anymore. The animals are settling. The fish are reproducing. Amazing!! Man made nature
cant have a successful pond with largemouth and smallmouth, also smallmouth dont reproduce nor thrive in ponds.. its why largemouths are so popular and common.
@Indysippi we have ponds down here in Arizona and they thrive pretty well together. Spawn just as normal as the largies in the ponds. Our smallmouth spawning as we speak actually.
Sherlock and Watson would be great names for the two baby bass since they joined up pretty quick to investigate their new pond. Awesome video as always.
It would be REALLY cool to see some other species of trout in both of those ponds! Brown, Brook, Tiger, Bull, and Cutthroat, Splake trout are all cool options! I have noticed that Lake Trout like to stay further deep so maybe if you choose those place them in the larger pond.
Those trout will definitely have a better chance of survival in the falls. Still wonder about temperatures in the summer months. It'll be interesting to see.
There’s nothing more peaceful than sitting by, listening to the water fall, and relaxing. That is one beautiful, tranquil base you have to build off, hats off to you and the whole team!
Adam, I used to have a cnc mold maker and loved watching him turn out one-off sample molds. He had a blue hard wax he used to test his programs. This way, he did not waste material, damage custom cutters, or machinery. You should look into it. Just a suggestion. Love watching you and miss watching my mold maker. (4140 aluminum).
I kinda feel the same way I'm about the most none outdoors type you can be I stay home and play video games most the time lol but I love this channel been watching since the start of the 5 acre pond build and haven't been able to stop
I'd be honored if you named a trout Big John. My grandpa's name was John and at 6'4" tall he rightfully earned the nickname Big John. He taught me to trout fish when I was a kid and we caught so many rainbow trout out of the lakes in Utah. Unfortunately he passed almost a year ago, but I'm now passing on what he taught me to my kids.
I have become addicted to watching your pond updates, it’s been amazing watching this ecosystem grow! I can’t think of any names for the two new bass, but given the trout love the shallow areas of the pond and the “cedar falls”, I think they should be named Cedar and Oak! Happy new year!
Really enjoy each new episode of BamaBass. Amazing videos of not only the fish but also watching the wildlife interact. Those new trout remind me of Fred & Wilma Flintstone.
Man it’s awesome to see Rainbow trout stocked in an Alabama pond. You don’t see that very often! Figured I’d put in a name request for the two bass that you put in the small pond too. My vote is for Jack and Rose (from the Titanic). With it being winter and stocked in a cold pond, I figured it was fitting :) Either way thank you for the continued enjoyment with the videos!
Also you should paint the eagle tower! Or put something around the post to make it feel more like a tree so they feel like they aren't all out in the open
Awesome, especially with the eagles. Btw, you should cover the edges of those water lily plastic buckets so it looks more natural now that the water is clear. Also move the cable covering that small solar panel, it will actually greatly reduce it's efficiency.
Those trout are going to boil in the new shallow pond during the summer! Not sure how much planting some thick trees will help keep the water cool, but you should consider it or they won’t stand a chance
Agreed, trout need fast, cold water and the big pond is gonna end up getting way too hot during the summer. Cedar falls will be better since there's a cave and moving water, but it'll still be pretty hot. If you want a good trout habitat, base it off of areas like the south toe river in NC. Lots of big overhanging boulders, fast and cold water with lots of shade from rhododendron trees. Could even put some smallmouth, rock bass, and suckers to mimic the south toe and french broad river.
Please add pale chub/ long fin banded hill trout, they are perfect for the new pond! They like fast flowing water and gravel, hard to breed and don’t grow too big or small and are in my opinion the most beautiful freshwater fish! They will also eat live and flakes/ pellets and will easily stand cold temperatures
This is such a wonderful channel. I don’t know the first thing about fishing, but I love watching the wildlife footage. You always have awesome engagement with your community, I just appreciate the effort. Keep up the good work!
To keep with the saying, If you build it, they will come. You should jump start the nest built on the eagle tower. This may help them recognize it as a nesting location. Add a border around the edges and put a bunch of sticks so they can start forming a nest. Good luck! Love what you’re doing out there.
About 15-20 years ago, I visited my grandma. Her neighbor was retired and hand-dug very interconnected small trout ponds that were stocked with rainbows. The water was completely muddy (10 on a scale of 1-10) while I was there, but the trout - with regular feeding and aeration - thrived! I thought it was the coolest thing ever. She lived in Central Washington. If I were in your shoes, I would stock something rare like Murray Perch from Australia in addition to the trout and smallmouth. Also, I would be concerned with otters and the like...
From my experience rainbow trout can be very sensitive to being caught and released especially when stocked. Another important thing is to always handle them with wet hands as their skin is way more sensitive as well and damaged skin can lead to fungus development. I hope yours will handle it well and stay healthy
Awesome looking pond.. Really well done...Im watching all the way from South Africa. The bass should be named PINKY and the BRAIN, as their cruising is showing they are taking over the pond...
Trout are a running water fish. Give the chance they are anadromous and migrate into saltwater and return to fresh water for spawning (steelhead). The creek and waterfall flowing gives them the impression of a flowing river to follow. I am in the PNW and we have way more trout fishing than bass. There is bass but the high mountain lakes are all trout.
You should create a river that pumps water from the 5 acres pond and goes around the property and back into the 5 acres pond so the trout have some moving and cooler water in the summer
So Glad you added Rainbow I think a good name for them would be Trixie and tony. I am originally from British Columbia where just abut every lake has rainbow Trout where I would flyfish in a belly boat ( tube) awesome way to fish. Thanks you for you great videos, Great job, Thanks. Dave, Ontario Canada
Just discovered today that my cat Floki loves your videos, LOL , he’s always trying to smack the fish! This is my favorite channel, and I love that you share this with us. Thank you and Happy New Year to the Crimson Oak Pond family and Cedar Falls is amazing!
The pond is looking good. I'd suggest Thelma and Louis for one of the couples. As far as future fish varieties, I like the idea of adding two of each. How about adding two crappie? With the clear water, their black and sliver bodies would add to the variety.
We do so much trout fishing here in oregon that's so cool in ya backyard💯 been following this channel for a awhile!so awesome to see all the wildlife developing! 💚
Dude, a Bamabass waterpark with a couple of different ponds with different themes of fish for fishing, as well as a swimming pool and lazy river setup all made to look like natural waterways. I can almost see it tbh. The whole thing, entrance fee, seafood restaurant, gift shop. Could even get aquascape to help out to make it look truly incredible. I typed this in response to another comment about in a few years he'll have a bunch more ponds and a waterpark. I liked the idea and decided to make it a min comment.
Love your channel and everything you're doing! I think it would be an interesting project for you to develop a few acres of native wildflower and grasses habitat. It would definitely add to the biodiversity in plants, animals, insects and birds you are looking for. Keep up the amazing work!
I have to get you up here to the mountains of WV to catch some native brook trout, rainbows, the WV Golden Rainbow Trout (the true golden trout), maybe even a Tiger trout!
It never ceases to amaze me - the shier diversity of wildlife the pond attracts & supports - it’s truly heaven & it’s so nice to watch & see it develop & attract yet more wildlife, supporting the local ecosystem….
I love this channel and have watched every video more or less. The little pond build appears to be "umping the shark". I enjoy this channel and will keep watching despite this add-on to the main pond.

Maybe name the two trout “Mike” and “Ike” Trout. Enjoying the series.
Dori & Nemo
Name the two fish, June and Jonny Cash. They were alone and found each other. Oh, but only if ones a female and the other a male. LOL
Should name the new bass Johnny and June
I swear in a couple years time you will have 5 more ponds and it will be a waterpark. Looks amazing. Names Lois and Clark.
Name them Adam & eve
"Folks at home, welcome to the ________ pond. It's out 25 acre pond, and today we are adding a water roller coaster."
Pooh and piglet
@@ChuckLakesAll fun and games until you find out they're both dudes 😅
Lois and Peter 🥵

I second this
This is a really good idea
I third this
I vote in favor!
I fourth this
Folks at home!
😂 I wish!!! 🚚 Oh well we understand!
? I dont understand. How 50 likes? Something i messed? Pls tell me
@@Nitrogen-Philips it’s his world famous intro!!
How about Chuck and Dale for the new bass
When I saw this video that's exactly what I screamed. Can't waitt to see how the smaller pond looks
The crow was using the sand as grit for his gizzard. They use it to help digest their food
This series never gets old
The bobcat is cool as hell. Hope to see more of him. It's a good sign that the ecosystem is healthy if there's a big cat in your area!
Completely agree! Can you imagine seeing a litter of small bobcats on the trail cam??
I live in New York and thought I saw a Bobcat on my property just last week, turns out it was a Gehl.
time to throw that Picnic table out. that bobcat sprayed all over it, I'm sure it smells rank now
@@cjoin83 “Bobcat Piss… 60% of the time, it works every time.”
I like the names Fred and Wilma, like the Flintstones! Since the new pond has all that beautiful stone work :)
Not my favorite names, but this is so fitting. Very creative. Gets my vote
Yesss a small mouth bass would be insaneeee down south 🔥🔥they can be aggressive too the look like literal foot balls then at 6lbs and try worms for the trout
Your pond is looking more and more natural. The shores are settling and changing. Can't see the tire tracks from the heavy equipment anymore. The animals are settling. The fish are reproducing. Amazing!! Man made nature
For sure add the Smallmouth! Would definitely make the ponds complete. Smallies are so awesome and fun to catch.
cant have a successful pond with largemouth and smallmouth, also smallmouth dont reproduce nor thrive in ponds.. its why largemouths are so popular and common.
All that fruit is too good for the trash Pandas .

A bamabass vid on a Thursday night? Sounds good to me!😁
For the rainbow trout, I think it’d be cool to name them Aurora and Borealis. Makes them a pair and draws attention to their shimmering colors. 14:04
Man what’s your gamertag?? 😂😂
At this time of year?
At this time of day?
In this part of the country?
Localized entirely within your pond?
Easily the best channel on YT.....the enormity of what you've built and documented is incredible! Living so many of our dreams, congrats!
So close to a million I believe in yall
Those trout will definitely have a better chance of survival in the falls. Still wonder about temperatures in the summer months. It'll be interesting to see.
Give me a trout on the fly over a bass on anything any day. Hooray! Onward, ever onward, and all power to you.
The 2 new bass should be romeo and juliette because they found each other in the new pond. Love at first sight!
I think they should be named Brooks and Dunn, Romeo and Juliet is a great story though
Along the same lines you could do Nemo and Marlin
@@Bigpoopihouse11 yeah that could be cool too the problem is naming a fish nemo thats not a clown fish can be confusing lol
@@goodness6664 i would think naming a bass Marlin after a clown fish is much more confusing than even Nemo. 3 fish species all crammed into one fish
@@Bigpoopihouse11 haha, thats true
Looks like you are building a paradise 🙂 Also a well deserved 1M Subscribers. Happy new year from chilly UK.
Thelma and Louise for the bass couple. Ruby and amethyst for the trout couple - Red and Purple makes crimson for Crimson Oak ;)
There’s nothing more peaceful than sitting by, listening to the water fall, and relaxing. That is one beautiful, tranquil base you have to build off, hats off to you and the whole team!
I think Brown trout would be an awesome addition to the new pond.
Yes and they tolerate warm water better than rainbows 🥸
Adam, I used to have a cnc mold maker and loved watching him turn out one-off sample molds. He had a blue hard wax he used to test his programs. This way, he did not waste material, damage custom cutters, or machinery. You should look into it. Just a suggestion. Love watching you and miss watching my mold maker. (4140 aluminum).
That bobcat is cool, love the random shots of it stalking around, should call him/her Stealth
This is the best series on YT. Love seeing the builds and all the wildlife.
Sonny and Cher for names. Honestly, I like those names for the eagles. 😁 The ponds look great! Happy New Year!!
Those Rainbow Trout’s and Bass on the small pond will be easy target’s for those eagles.
Ann and Little Dan from "where the red fern grows" reminds me of the ferns around the new pond. I love the new pond videos. Keep it up!
I'm not a fisherman, but I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you build this amazing recreational area. Your kids are SOOOOOO lucky.
You should definitely add a small mouth
I kinda feel the same way I'm about the most none outdoors type you can be I stay home and play video games most the time lol but I love this channel been watching since the start of the 5 acre pond build and haven't been able to stop
WOAH it's been a while since a mid-week video. And before Thursday Night Football. Well played sir.
Cant tell you how much i love seeing Trout in your pond. Watching from Utah & giving your trout all the cold creek vibes they could want.
Love watching the ponds and wildlife grow!
Prism and Chroma woulda be fitting names for the pair of rainbow trout! Absolutely love the new pond!
Oh! That's beautiful!
I'd be honored if you named a trout Big John. My grandpa's name was John and at 6'4" tall he rightfully earned the nickname Big John.

My name is John but i aint 6'4...I love trout fishing tho....❤😮
I'm surprised he didn't get the nickname Little John, one of Robin Hoods merry men
Congratulations on 1 million subscribers!
Two new littles!! Yay! It has been a treat watching your bass grow bigger over the years.
I like the names: Adam and Eve. The start to a new journey!

Trout names Tango & Cash, little bass Crockett & Tubbs
I love what you’re doing.
Name the 2 bass, Bill and Ted because they’re on an excellent adventure.
Thanks for sharing your dream.

Charlie and Lucy...Very nice video Happy New Year to all the BamaBass fans🥳
I've been with you since you first brought Mobi home and I love the backyard pond, but I would have to build a house at the farm cause it's heaven❤
The two new bass could be Louis & Clark, exploring new lands and waterways.
How about naming the 2 new bass Sonny and Cher? Loved watching these pond video's. New pond is beautiful. I can't wait to see it this summer.
That's crazy! I suggested the same names! LOL
Great minds think alike.@@thedoublejs4957

Unless you are a threadfin shad!
@@bamafaninar9292 don't forget those osprey, you need to be a fat bass to avoid them
Please add smallies or spots! Love both species super aggressive and unique compared to the largies
Smallies are so fun!
Smallies are the GOAT species of bass
@@daking414 yes! Spots are awesome too and they are definitely easier to source for him but smallies would be amazing
You should name the two bass Romeo and Juliet
The new pond looks great, and it's great to see some fish in it. Great job!
Damn got to it before me. Now I need to think of new names. Lol😢
@@DanielLeath sorry lol 😅
Awesome looking pond..
Really well done...Im watching all the way from South Africa.
The bass should be named PINKY and the BRAIN, as their cruising is showing they are taking over the pond...
This series is what keeps me going through the week 😂
The pond is amazing
Johnny and June for the new baby bass ! Love your show ❤
That's what I said too definitely fits the theme
Said the same thing!!
Andy and Barney for the trout..reminds me of all the time they fished in the show and always caught a trout.
The Tigers definitely had a good first spawn LFG!
Unexpected video! Let's goooo
Calvin and Hobbes or Control and chaos for the bass, great video and looking forward to the future pond videos!
Trout are a running water fish. Give the chance they are anadromous and migrate into saltwater and return to fresh water for spawning (steelhead). The creek and waterfall flowing gives them the impression of a flowing river to follow. I am in the PNW and we have way more trout fishing than bass. There is bass but the high mountain lakes are all trout.
For the trout, Silver & Rain.
I'm thinking Adam and Eve for the two baby bass cause the new pond looks like an aquatic paradise. 😊😁
Not much bass fishing around me but I grew up fishing for steelheads and rainbows, they’re fun to catch too!
You should create a river that pumps water from the 5 acres pond and goes around the property and back into the 5 acres pond so the trout have some moving and cooler water in the summer
So Glad you added Rainbow I think a good name for them would be Trixie and tony. I am originally from British Columbia where just abut every lake has rainbow Trout where I would flyfish in a belly boat ( tube) awesome way to fish. Thanks you for you great videos, Great job, Thanks. Dave, Ontario Canada

Trout 1: Caddis
Trout 2: Midge
Common words found in names of fly fishing flies. For example Elk Hair Caddis & Red Midge.
For the two bass, I really like the names Hall and Oates. Has a good ring to it. Now for the trout, I like Ali like Muhammad Ali and then Speckles.
You should get some rainbow shiners for the smaller pond. Native to Alabama but crazy beautiful
Fraya and Oden for the bass your doing an awsome job with the ponds
Tip for trout fishing: the trout prefer cold water so cast in deeper sections of the pond
I was just enjoying this video and saw you were at 999k subs, I hope you get a mil really soon. Thanks for all the amazing content!!!
The pond is looking good. I'd suggest Thelma and Louis for one of the couples. As far as future fish varieties, I like the idea of adding two of each. How about adding two crappie? With the clear water, their black and sliver bodies would add to the variety.

Keep up the amazing work!
Agreed …WILDFLOWERS meadow!
Love to see a Smallmouth in the small pond!!
You should introduce some aquatic insects for the trout like may fly, caddis or stone flies. If you get a smallie, definitely some helgramites.
Love the five-acre pond, and really love the new pond build! Our trout name suggestions are Tom and Jeri
I have to get you up here to the mountains of WV to catch some native brook trout, rainbows, the WV Golden Rainbow Trout (the true golden trout), maybe even a Tiger trout!
