this is slowly turning into a nature reservation and i love it
When I found this channel when he posted the 2nd overall episode, I figured there was nothing to it. I'm so hooked at this point and fascinated by the accomplishment, the amount of time/money involved, and the maintenance. The amount of diverse wildlife is amazing, and the birds are spectacular. Best channel I just happened by and always looking for that next episode!
The prawns are crazy as well and never heard of the ones he's talking about, but it makes total sense to have that breed since they do not burrow. They will be fine food for the big bass.
I was thinking the same.
Nature paradise!
Right. I love it. I've always wanted to do the same
Uncle basser
You’re literally living out most people’s dreams. Keep it up.
truth
Facts
Most people dream of digging ponds and filling them with aquatic life? Erm… okay. I’d suggest you need to get out more.
@@nicks8026 , I think you're missing the point
@@catholicpatriotusa1507 I’m sure I am.
Now this is a farmer who shows real love for nature, nothing but respect for you
The amount of data you’re getting on these fish is amazing, this is scientific proof of growth rates and all sorts of stuff. Absolutely amazing project, keep up the good work!
Man this pond is going to be absolutely insane when it matures
6 7 years its gonna be full of a bunch of good size fish with a few giants.
I can't wait to see what bird decides that nest area will be theirs.
@@michaelcurle3133 more like 4 years they are being feed like crazy
Moby has gotten so big!
@@spydrvenom ...I watched his last video. I was surprised when he said Bonnie was the largest of the three pet bass (over 3 lbs). He went on to mention that Clyde was slightly bigger than Moby, but that both of them were (estimated) just over 2.5 lbs. I think Moby looks bigger because he's in a tank.
Perhaps the BEST way to enjoy our short time on Earth. Land, freedom, nature, peace.
Sarah is precious! Tell her the folks at home said hi and bye. 😄
That was the cutest thing ever
And if you want to watch me cannonball 😂😊
The water ain't too cold for the little one 😲
She is gonna have such a wonderful childhood and it will make her happy for the rest of her life. How much money does this guy make anyways?
It’s always a great day when Bama Bass uploads 🎣🎉👍
Yup
really bro
It’s always Sunday
highlight to the lazy Sunday
Yeah wish it was every Sunday tho! Always end my weekend with a video and a big chew on been watching for last 2 years
I am majoring in environmental science and passionate about nature conservation and what you're doing here is really awesome.
Honest question. Is this actual nature conservation though? It is a not a naturally fed pod that would die out quickly without human maintenance. It seems more like a personal fishing pond. Nothing wrong with that.
@@crazkurtz Shouldn't the pond eventually attract nearby wildlife?
@@windtalker4191 for sure. I’m just wondering if this can continue without human maintenance. is there a natural inflow of water from a stream or River?
@@crazkurtz While it is true that the pond is human maintained, if people hadn't moved in then this area would likely still host many ponds; some small and seasonal and some large that last all year round. However with people moving in those ponds have disappeared and the natural predators have moved on. With this maintained pond it can reintroduce some of those predators into the ecosystem and the finished product would be a self-sustaining ecosystem with a human to make sure it stays in balance all year long. Admirable in my opinion.
This is not nature conservation... the entire ecosystem is built on introduced, overpopulated fish which feed on non-native prawns which can only survive through constant reintroduction and artificial feeding through pellets. Which part of nature does this fit into?
10 years from now this pond will be a BASS Extravaganza. Those BASS are growing fast
I don't know how you don't spend all your time just sitting on the dock watching everything. Truly beautiful, well done dude.
well he's got a baby :P
@@ktw5141 yes lol
Bro, if you do something like he does, you would forget mobile phones and internet. Its so much of peace.
Maybe you should copy and paste something that makes sense, or yk--just tell people to believe and let that be the end of the comment because it really isn't gonna make a difference if you make or longer
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ
Prawns are delicious too. They will go great on the grill.
I’m curious to see if he plans on eating some of them or if there just bait for the bass
Yes I I’m getting hungry.
Your child is such a joy. You must be a good parent.
I think your pawn project is an excellent idea, its also going to make a great learning experience for you. Keep a coyote decoy by your pawn pond to scare herons and predatory water birds. Prawns are valuable and very tasty, you don't want them all gobbled up before you get a chance to harvest. Laser pointers also terrify birds as well, they do work.
The video at the end with an adorable sleeping baby panning to a beautiful big pond and a blue sky full of puffy white clouds... Made me kind of emotional. Living a dream my man, absolutely wonderful stuff
If there was a livestream of the nighttime fishcam I would watch it every night. It’s really peaceful but also fun to watch the fish catching the bugs.
I was thinking the same thing when I saw that part of the video. I would leave it on as my screen saver :)
Yes we could bring reports on recorded fish
There is a farm channel on twitch that has multiple cams 24/7
Yes please, the bass eating bugs was great.
livestream is a great idea. good thinking!
Sarah is so precious. Love that she addressed all of us folks at home!!! Melts the heart I tell ya!!!!
That was wholesome
She's so cute. She had her presentation together, and she's on her way to her own channel 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is the DREAM.. You build a pond to fish, escape concrete jungle, enjoy with your family, connect with nature and animals... Just WOW. I'm truly amazed and wish to copy you one day.
Best of luck with your pond👌
This series has been a major source of joy for my family.
Thank you for all your hard work.
Someday I want to have a pond that can be a food source in a bad situation. I feel like I am learning so much from this series.
May I suggest using a polarizing filter on the lens of your camera? That will get rid of the reflection of the sky and make the shots like in 9:30 so much more clear :D Also, I love this series xDDD Keep up the great work!!
The best series on the tube.
I 100% agree
One of for sure.
By far. #2 isn't close.
Gonna keep trying to get one of our names in this contest 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Xena, Urkel, Lance!
We love your videos and will keep watching them religiously.
Truth!! Love this channel and can't wait to have a property like this one day.
We love Beauty and the Bass please pick them ❤ 1:28
Love your videos Beauty and the Bass! Also enjoy BamaBass videos! I’ve learned a lot from you both.
I love The Beauty and The Bass. Please pick one of their names.
Yes! Love the name Urkel!
Im not a fish guy but I have really enjoyed watching your ponds come together, Keep up the great work!!
I could not imagine the research alone that went into building the underwater habitat. So awesome
I'm obsessed with this series. It's so fascinating watching and learning how complex a regular old pond ecosystem is.
The data gathering is awesome! I love fishing and wouldn't bother taking data even if I could but I'm sure there are more than a few ichthyologists who would love to look at your numbers! You're basically running something that a PhD student could use for a thesis just for fun!
yes. Tagging 25 fish totaly will get you a phd
@@theacme3 I'm sorry you were molested as a child. I will pray for you.
@@makokx7063 he was ? Dang dude!
In the Netherlands there are sometimes floating island with emerged pond plants, they float in the pools their root systems provide tons of shelter and shade for fish and they oxygenate the water. Might be something to think about!
The pond is pretty shallow due to its geolocation - wonder if this would work!!!
Problem is a lot of those plants are invasive species in the US. They will totally overtake your take over your pond if you aren't careful
I know of a few ponds and small lakes in Iowa, USA, that has some floating plant islands specifically to let bait fish hide from the bass. Great spots to fish around for decent bass and pike. I've even seen someone catch a 10 pound channel catfish on a Rapala lure in broad daylight near one of those islands
@@mariatorres9789 they've talked about putting plants in but they need to be extremely careful to pick species of plant that won't propagate too quickly and overgrow everything. If you're not careful and you get uncontrollable duckweed or lily pads, the growth can get so thick that it chokes off the light and kills everything in the pond including the fish.
Honestly never felt so relaxed watching a video like this one, thank you keep up the wonderful work you are doing and congratulations on the new baby and of course the pond project
I love watching birds swoop in. Like how does it just drop slowly like a piece of paper. But it's coming in hot and just grab whatever they want. It's pretty dope
The baby is getting so big your little daughter is so cute telling us all about the duck house. ❤
I instantly had that sad face you make when something super cute happens and I’m a grown dang man. Super awesome family he’s got
how did i not know that prawns have gigantic claws
Because not all prawns have gigantic claws
Hi youtube
UA-cam has huge claws over random comment sections 🤣
ITS A FOOKIN PRAWN MAN!!!!
goo goo gaga
HEY BAMA BASS! Been a huge fan of the series since before the backyard pond and have been following since. Ive been trying to get a name in for a bass for a while here and i think it would be awesome if i could get a T spot and name it Tony in memory of my father in law who passed on the 1st and it was a hard hit for us. Thank you very much for the content buddy. Thanks from Ky!
Sarah says folks at home just like you. My heart. That's so sweet!
BamaBass is a very unique channel. I love the updates and there is always something new going on. Your little girl is getting so big. Tell her the “folks from home” say hi! Thank you for healthy life-style channel. Lil Oliver is gonna love this pond!
You can't imagine how wonderful it is to watch these videos.
Thank you.
Oh my god when Sarah said hi folks at home ❤️❤️❤️ that was so precious
Man, you are our there creating ur own eco system,when calamity hits u will be that one well knowledged and strong survivor. Keep the good work .
it is always amazing to see how many other animals are attracted to the water and settle there. with the trees and possibly other plants, there should be many more.
@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2 get a life
Man this series has been amazing to watch. Thanks for the content
9:40 - Fish Feeding is some of the coolest footage with fish I have ever seen. I mean, you know they are fast, but you never realize how fast.
this adds so much biodiversity to the ecosystem i literally have tears. it always humbles me to see hard working people do something big that helps the earth and all of the creatures on it. bravo !
it's a bass fishing pond.
but yes it's verry cool
Crying over biodiversity? You need to get out more Jared
@@abcdcba4405 bruh stop being annoying
BamaBass. The best part of the video is when your daughter showed off the duck house. Very cute. She reminds me of my granddaughters. They love being outside.
It’s great that you have a spreadsheet for the fish. You’re a very attentive caregiver.
"Neptune" is the perfect name for a bass that rules over its 5-acre pond like a true god of the sea. It exudes strength, power, and an unyielding presence that demands respect from all who encounter it.
Man, your living a dream. I’d love a pond like that one day.
I’ve been on a nature channel binge and I’m so glad I stumbled upon this guy. The pond is going to be beautiful in the coming years! I’m excited to see the progress!
There are no videos I look forward to more than Bama Bass. 😊 P.S. I’d like to see Moby eat one or those prawns.
Lol he's too picky, he's had crawfish and would just play with them n spit them out a bunch till their claws fell off then he'd eat like 1 of them lol
@@ryanlee6147 ...I think it shows a mindset difference between a fish in the wild and a tank fish. Moby knows his meals are coming and there is no competition whatsoever. He likes his baitfish. Give him something else and he plays with his food, then becomes disinterested.
You've got yourself a little slice of paradise there 🦆🦅🐿
UA-cam algorithm for the win! Super interesting! When I was a little boy my dad got onto a conversation kick and started improving the "waste ground" on our farm. Land that was either too rough or infertile to be profitable, but not practical for grazing. He started out with cedar wind breaks, then we'd plant some food plots with whatever was leftover from planting feed in the spring. Then he opened up some springs and created reliable water sources. Over the years these became wildlife magnets for all kinds of critters here in western Kansas. We even had a mamma mountain lion raise 4 kittens in one of the larger areas one year. It's was funny because when I told the Kansas department of wildlife and parks about it they looked me straight in the eye and called me a liar. When I showed them photographic evidence they got really excited and wanted to know where this was exactly. I told them its off limits and the cats were under my protection. These animals were surrounded by farms and cattle, but we've never had a single head of livestock harmed in the entire region. To this day the Wildlife and Parks say there's never been evidence of a breeding population of mountain lion's in the state.
You should add another tip on the pipe so that it shoots up the water in the air.. the pond is looking great 👍 congrats
Prawns look delicious and succulent. Yummy! 😮😮😮😅
Ok.. I could have watched those fish feeding on bugs for HOURS! Soo cool
Incredible ecosystem you've created...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
P.S. love your daughters duck house, her aqua skills and her great presentation.
Bronx Love brother 😎
Xander (male) or Xara (Female) would be great "X" names for a bass!
Wow you are surrounding yourself with the experience. Who wants to go to the lake when the lake is at home. I love your ducks I could never get tired of listening to them. They sound so funny. This was great thank you for sharing
On the 7th day...God rested and said, "IT IS GOOD!"
Amazing job! Blessings to you and your beautiful young family!
I have no idea why this came up as suggested video. But I watched and thoroughly enjoyed it all. I am coming back for more.
Hey man, i’m new to the channel but I think this is one of the best outdoors channels out there. I’m so lucky to stumble upon it. If there is a C spot is still available for the bass names I would love to have Champ. My name is Max Herk and I also just wanted to say keep doing what you are doing, you are truly living the dream life!
I love the care you take with all the wildlife! The juvenile eagle should be named Chase ❤ Thank you for sharing! ❤
What a great life for those sweet little ones ❤
Chase is my brother's name
@Katelyn friend OH that's cool! Does he like fish??? LOL
@@Hamsterbuns622 yes he Does
Fish and Birds are my favorite animals
Your daughter is so cute and knowledgeable! Adorable
UA-cam recommendations really work. I saw this pond being built ages ago and forgot. Not even subscribed, but happened to see this video to catch me up. Very cool!
Love not only the visuals, but your smooth and informative delivery.
TYSON what a name for a bass 🎉
Crazy how beautiful this pond is . I watched the dozer work cuz that's what I do and was addicted to this series . Great job and the wildlife loves it just as much !!
Beautiful macrobrachium rosenbergii prawns. They get massive
Hey friend, I'm really impressed with how you created an incredible wildlife habitat and maintain it so well, even logging! Logging and tagging bass with other folks sounds fun as well!
Living the dream life!
Thank you for your videos, I look forward to each new update! God bless you. 😂 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦
I'm up her in Ohio, and I love bass fishing, I bet y'all are creating a bass heaven!!!
I check in on this channel every once in a while and I'm impressed every time
Those prawns are delicious. That pond was is looking amazing 👍
Can you plant a ton of wildflowers for the bees?! Who knows, maybe you’ll end up with a bee hive project one day also!
I’ve been loving the series so I thought I would just throw a name out there bassthoven
That Duck house presentation was super👍🏾😊
Wonderful series, been watching since the beginning. Always get excited when a new episode gets released.
My first time seeing a vid from your channel and I love what you're doing. Reintroducing a natural ecosystem and bringing back in the natural predators is amazing. Also the recordings and loggings are really interesting in my opinion. They allow you to see how your interference/maintenance affects the health and development of your pond which tickles the scientist part of my brain haha.
I'd watch hours of the bass eating the bugs haha so satisfying
So glad to still be here over a year later.
Bro that little kid is so darn cute truly a blessing from God
You unlocked a childhood memory of mine… mosquito fish, forgot I even called them that. Used to catch them by hand and us them to catch bass in my grand parents stock tank
I love the underwater light feeding show and love the pond it’s turning out great
Same. I actually had a spot on my phone screen and was wondering why the bass wasn't eating it.😂🤦🏾♂️
Aw man, That was precious. I remember, our daughters were born within a couple weeks of each other. Your daughter is smart and a good talker like mine. I can tell from that one short clip. 5 years brother congratulations
"good talker' lol
This popped up in my feed I pressed play ▶️ and now I'm stuck 🙃 very happy 😊 I did amazing Amen 🙏
Been watching y’all since you built the backyard pond. Great content can’t wait to see what’s next
Wow, your island is looking good. Greening up beautifully
Thank you algorithm for bringing me my new favorite channel. 🙏🏾🇺🇸❤️
You're living my dream brother. God bless
You're living my dream. It's been a joy to watch this procces since your first video.
God bless you and your family.
My day gets better whenever you post, my wife and I love watching your videos together! We would love to see a bass named Zeke or skye those are our dogs name and they watch you with us!
So cool, really has been awesome to watch come along. The juvenile eagle needs a patriotic name, Freedom Ring
I’m glad your are enjoying your pond, land and life! IT’s encourage to see!
That’s such a awesome and nature friendly place you have made. I love it!
Quasi-modo for the empty Q.
Been watching for a few months now! Love it brother.
I lived in neighborhood that had a 5 acre pond that was shared between 9 of the houses in the subdivision. It had been there for 20 years before the subdivision was built. Well established with big bass. The dam became compromised and had to be repaired which meant the pond had to be drained. 😢 Oh, but the Crappie we netted out were as big as a man's foot. Hundreds of them. It the Catfish? Omg. What a fish fry we had. Our small group of about 3 of the 9 neighbors nursed that pond back to a thriving ecosystem. The pond is fed all four ways via spring, creek, rain and runoff so it took less than a year to fill back up. Amazing. We introduced some fresh bass and catfish along with blue gills. We drained it from 5 acres to a mud puddle three feet deep 10 feet wide and 50 yards long. We were catching bass well over 12" and hand size blue gill within 2 years of draining it. 5 lb Female was caught last week on her bed. It was great to be part of it. So connected with the earth at that time. Watching all the fish spawn was amazing. More than once did i catch the hatching of a nest the thousands of tiny hatchlings streaming out of a hole like delicate slow motion silly string as the big momma battle ship bass hovers off shore with her bucket mouth flexing.
You guys have an awesome thing going on here. You're life will be richly rewarded every day. Happy for y'all!
You should think about possibly putting some type of net over the bait pond so the wild life doesn't wipe out all the prawns! Maybe it could be a roll out and in contraption like a pool cover which could be easy on and off when you need to do things to it.
Love watching this pond from start to current point.. so cool
This is the coolest shit I’ve ever seen. If I could put into words the level of jealousy. Much respect to y’all.
wow the underwater light fish feeding was awesome
Name for I. Iggy. Love your videos! It’s great to see how this has grown! Keep up the great work it gives us something good to watch in these hard times.
I've been watching your channel since the day you started posting about your pond building. Absolutely love how far it has come; and your new prawn pond too! I'm amazed at how much animals and birds it has attracted, I look forward to your next video!
I think it depends on the type of crayfish (some do and some don't dig holes) but it's probably for the best you went with the prawns so you don't introduce an invasive species by accident to your area. Also, you might encourage ducks to nest in that duck house if you put some straw in it.
@@elessartelcontar9415 Prawns are found along the Pacific Coast of North America from Alaska to Southern California. Rusty Crayfish (are burrowing) and native to the Southern US but invasive in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
@@MrChopsticktech Macrobrachium rosenbergii are native to the indo pacific region
watching the bass eat the moths attracted to your green lights was awesome
