BamaBass causing collective anxiety over here. Don't need to worry us like that
Click baiting me as if I weren't waiting for this video anyways
@@sage8573lol me too
@@sage8573 no .,,,,.............,..........dddddddddd
I don’t even watch this channel but click baiters are terrible
That title had me scared glad everything is alright 😂😅
That's what I'm sayin
😅
dude I read that title and ran to the comments so fast I was worried lol
I'll watch the video now
😂
@@booger_8194 Exactly what I did *phew*
3 pumps in a pond that big would be perfect! Js
Brother you have built a complete ecosystem in like 5 years or so. I've seen all videos man. Salute to you and still enjoy every new one. And you have started a movement on pond of all sizes. Very educational as well. Keep up the videos nice job.
Is it really an outdoor ecosystem if it can't support itself? Kind of I guess.
@sidneyvandykeii3169 you could not touch it again and it will adjust to what it needs, man. It's a complete eco system. Yes it's thriving now with extra help, but the fact is it would probably out live all of us with no help
@roystone5369 But it wouldn't be the same Ecosystem without his support. It 100% will be AN ecosystem, but it wouldn't be this current ecosystem.
Don't get me wrong, I love this channel and have watchedcevery video from day one (I've no clue how the algorithm brought me this channel). I was just hoping it would be more selfsustaining.
If you like cool ecosystem restoration projects you can watch Mossy Earth. I can really recommend that channel.
With enough money you could too 😂😂
Instead of throwing in shiners and such for the bass at the dock, try throwing in bluegill, they’ll likely still target them since they’re conditioned to feed on pretty much anything that hits the water, also could get them to try and feed on the bluegill more on their own.
I love this idea
You gotta watch earlier videos.. the bass won't touch the bluegill
@@timg2798I’ve watched every video of this pond since day 1, i am aware of that they won’t eat them this is just a proposed option to try and get them to feed on them. It is no secret that for the bass to truly grow they must eat large forage, it costs less energy to eat one big bluegill than 15 shiners. It’s quite common for fish to not move to larger forage even in natural systems as well. I don’t believe the shad are growing to large size either, at least I can’t remember him mentioning it. He has a great opportunity to condition the fish to prey on larger forage through his supplemental dock feeding, and I think it might work.
Good idea. That could help the bass start eating the bluegill
I want him to introduce 1 Blue Cat into the big pond. (as an, "experiment"). Maybe see how huge it could get! Without harming most of them.
4:05 I’d say the little heron you’ve spotted is a green heron. It’s a little challenging to see from the distance as it could also be the American bittern. Both share that same stripe pattern on the neck and breast plumage.
I'm guessing heron the way it pecked at that fish
I'm 99% sure that's a green heron
I am 100% sure it is a Green Heron (I also posted this already)
My gut is telling me juvenile green heron. if you look at 4:25 you can see the white outline on the back feathers.
@@robwalker2934I forgot the last shot was the heron in full view on the branch and I’m 100% positive it’s a green heron as well.
You need an underwater drone! That would be cool to see whats down there especially in those deep spots.
he has one
probably won't see anything. Too dark
BamaBass is a joy!
This is the second time in the last two weeks that I was in a horrible mood. Fed-up with the whole world.
Pressed play on the new video and in less than a half hour I am seeing the positive vibes and feeling them, too.
Your videos always leave me in a good state of mind and I THANK YOU with all my heart!
Me as well.. I work very hard and work with many coworkers, it wears me out, but I've found that watching a new episode of BamaBass is like hitting a reset button for me. It makes me feel better and more rested. Thank you again BamaBass!
For a new project, I'd like to see a trout creek/river running down the edge of the farm fields and into the pond. Something like 10 to 20 ft wide and a couple feet deep. Build some holes and pockets throughout the small river for fish to sit in. Supply water with some high-powered pumps and large tubing from the pond. I'm not sure if it could work, but it would be awesome.
It's always great to see your pond thriving! Would love to visit and fish it someday.
There would need to be a cooling system, unless you want to stock every year after dieoff.
@UncleKennysPlace maybe it's possible to plant mature trees on both sides of the system to encourage a cooler micro climate. Might help solve that problem in the long term anyways after the trees are established
Great idea
Amazing idea! I always thought a cold stream with trout would be so cool since stream trout are fascinating
Trout are cold water fish. Just not feasible in Bama.
Cedar Falls is looking spectacular...it will only get better and better as the landscaping matures. Green Heron - expert fisherman.
Gotta give those bass some shade! Could be they’re too sunbaked and don’t have anywhere to hide from the sun
that's a good point. There is deep water though and he showed visibility of 19 inches
The fish finder says your water temperature is 86 degrees which is way to hot for trout to survive. You should drop a thermometer to the bottom at the deepest part of the pond to see if the temperature is cold enough that some of the trout could theoretically survive there
Our 85 acre HOA lake has recovered by not spraying the littoral zone. Eel grass and shoreline plants keep nutrients in check.
Yes, I don't think he should be afraid of the plants that come naturally along the shore. I know he has spent a fortune on it and I love this channel. I watch letsdig youtube channel and he doesn't seem to have this problem with the huge ponds he builds.
I wonder if floating lettuce and Iris would help with shade and clarity. They would die off in the first freeze. Maybe the pond guys can help him out with some ideas.
@@chickenhouse5779 Im not criticizing him when I say this, but the formula he is using is exactly what all pond managers follow if you want a lake that is an underwater desert aside from man made structure. We found a guy in FL that is about managing lakes naturally. He does agree with chemical use, but rarely. Its working.
The mystery bird is a green heron i believe . They can use bait to catch your fish .
100% juvenile Green Herons. Such a neat little bird.
When I was on holiday in Dominican republic the resort I was staying had a pond full of small fish and there was a few green herons around it... They would come upto you to get a bit of cake or bread and then use that as bait whilst fishing... Was incredible to watch
That is exactly what I thought! Green herons, they sure do look beautiful as an adult, they are very colorful.
can we just appreciate how well you put your videos together and how well organized and thought of everything is? big respect for keeping up with everything it makes it so much more immersive and interesting to watch. never stop❤
I watched this project start and am amazed at how great it came out, and continues to mature. The amount of wildlife footage you've captured is beautiful. A true ecosystem in your "backyard", that you created.
instead of throwing golden shiners off the dock to the bass, why don't u try throwing small debilitated bluegill to them and see if thatll jumpstart their feeding on bluegills?
Ever thought about starting 3 or 4 smallmouth hatchlings in the 300 gallon tank? Theres much less content out there about pet smallies so I’d love to see it done by the best bass father!
Since Gus Gus is occupying the squirrel house most the time and eating all those nuts and getting fat, you should put a hamster wheel in there to see if he would use to get some exercise!! That would be fun to watch!
I'd be funny seeing a wild mouse use it
Gus chilling on the porch cracks me up
My wife said to show more of the wildlife. Love it. Thanks.
Never been one to consistently comment or like videos I enjoy, but this channel has been an absolute favorite of mine for many years now. We appreciate y'all very much!
Can you please try and catch some bluegill and toss them in at the end of the dock to get an idea if the bass are interested in larger food?
I've watched the whole 5 acre pond series since you started. Thanks for putting it all on camera for us.
The bird taking small fish from your new pond is a bittern. They usually hide well in marshes so you're lucky to see it.
I think you should plant some large trees on a certain side so a lot of the fish can keep cool and the birds have a place to perch next to the pond and make nests.
5:13 love how he didn’t want it until it started moving. Very typical of a bass. They don’t eat dead fish.
they will eat dead fish. Have caught some using dead shiners on bottom while catfishing. Caught an 8lber once like that.
I absolutely LOVE to watch your video's of your pond. I was in the hospital for 5 weeks with a brain bleed and this new video comforts me to watch. I can't type very good right now. Thank you so much.
Love the vids man every time a new episode of the pond comes out I watch it. Been watching since you caught moby
4:12 - That's a green heron. I love the diversity of wildlife you have coming to your ponds.
Since you began, I have watched the entire 5 acre pond series. We appreciate you filming it all for us.
That little bird is probably an American bittern. Love the video, you’re living my dreams with this!
That bird is an American Bittern. Cool birds. They'll stand in reeds with their beaks pointed to the sky and you'll never see them. They have a pumping sound call. Love your vids.
I had go back for another look, love watching A. Bittern's
Close. Same Family anyway. It's a Green Heron. The first 40 years of my life, I was a hard core fish guy.... last 10, hardcore birds :)
@@Chris_Wolfgram I missed the Green Heron on the piece of wood, the other one I think is a different bird.
I agree with you, it's not a green heron as someone suggests, the green heron hasn't got the sort of stripes we can see on his throat.
@@patrickdemarcevol I saw two birds, Green on a stick and another close to the water.
Another thought ... maybe try reducing the feeder times to encourage the fish to eat naturally? They may be too trained to eat small baits?!
that's a good idea. Switch up the feeding times so they don't know when. It's like welfare for fish, lol
I like that you appreciate these fish so much. They're really beautiful animals in my opinion.
:). Ooops. Looks like fun either way with the drone. And knowing how important that volcano pump is. Perhaps think about getting a second one as a ready to go standby, or even getting it in the pond all ready to go and running it occasionally. Big bluegill, and big turtles, from what they started out as, great views of all the wildlife. Thanks
The amount of information, equipment, environments and data provided in this video is seriously out of this world. Keep up the nice work.
You should provably get a second Pump at the west sid eof the pond ond that deeper corner near the damn
Finally a wholesome educational video keep up the Excellent work Bama Bass
green heron likey, also shape of night heron
"shape of a night heron"?? In that they are both in Ardeidae, I suppose....but as a Birder, this makes no sense
@@bradmoss6319 dude this looks nothing like a night heron; neither of the two species. Go with your gut…it’s a green heron.
When I watch a turtle part I can't keep smile out of my face. He is so adorable.
The turtle with the camera rotation almost made me pee my pants. lol
Humaans trying to keep Mother Nature happy , is quite the challenge ! ..... Good Work !
My 10 acre pond in tn. Used 2000 pounds of fertilizer a year. No aration, bluegill, shiners, and gizzard shad, tilapia would die in winter. Purchased 6 trout every fall. Had top water action,in 46 degree water. Yes, bass eat pellets, had about a dozen 4 pounders eating them. Yes, had the biologist shock the pond every spring , around spawning time. Taking out 125 pounds, this controls the over crowding. Any bass 15 inches, or less would be taken out the rest of the year. Never allow Canadian geese in you pond, or comorons.
You need 4-5 grass carp. We had them for years. You seem to know way more about it than I do though. Nothing worse than cleaning off a lure after every cast. Our 3 acre pond in Tennessee has been around since the 1880s and will go crazy with what I call moss if we don’t keep a few in the pond. We have tried the chemicals and all that . Nothing works like a grass carp to keep ponds clean. I’m wanting a few of the Florida bass to throw in to get some different genes in the pool soon. Good luck with your pond and fishing. Looking good. We have always had mussel shells growing in pond as well.
Gus Gus is becoming the low key star of this series.
Boy by your title I thought we were going to have a fish kill! Thank goodness not and glad you have your hand on the pulse of our ponds! I say ours because I’ve been with you since right after you did the backyard pond! Love watching your family and channel grow over the years God bless you and family..
Is it possible there are no more untagged original bass left?
I believe that bird early in the video is a Green Heron, very cool!
What happened to Mike and Molly trout???
I love Gus lounging on the porch.
Anotha one
The bird is a Green Heron. Closely related to the American Bittern. In different light, it would be easier to see the dark green in its wings and tail feathers.
I believe that bird is a Bittern
A wilson’s Snipe
Looks like American bittern to me. Snipe significantly. Smaller and different beak
Immature Green Heron 100% without doubt
Green heron
I thought heron also at first. Good id
You should do a floating dock out in the middle of the pond the 5 acre pond love the videos keep up the good work
I respect this project endlessly, but you are going about the ecosystem building incorrectly. You should have bass weighing in at 5+ pounds by this point considering the amount of forage and size of the pond. You have stock nearly double or triple the ponds capacity and lowered its ability to hold healthy big bass by stocking a variety of fish like tilapia and trout which reduce the forage amount for the base species.
First
Shut up, no one cares if you’re first
Meaningless
Visiting Alabama and get to watch a great episode. Pretty good vacation
What's up bama. Can I get a like. Let's go. I hope everything is ok
Seeing as how its summer and all... How about a video of you, your family and friends, cooking up a storm? I know I for one am sure ready for a video of you guys living the life and celebrating just that.
Absolutely beautiful! I love those lilies that you've been growing
THIS is some next level, high-tech hillbilllying, I mean that as a complement! Amazing!
Saw you turn down the road to the pond on the way to our bay house off soldiers creek. It’s so amazing seeing someone this local be so successful and create something this amazing right here in lower alabama. I really hope I bump into you one day and get to say hello
The mystery birds are "Little Green Herons." Not as common as the much larger Blue Herons but we often see them down here in central FL around our waterways..
The small Heron type birds are American Bittern, they must feel very comfortable at your pond because they usually live a very stealth life in the tall yellowed/dried vegetation. They will stretch up their beak upward when movement around them and they perfectly camouflage in the tall vegetation.
I learn something every time I watch your channel I love it thank u for teaching me how to read a garmin💯
Glad to hear some of those trout may still be alive. Cannot wait to see how big you can get some of those bucks.
I'm watching in wales, so don't get bass over here..watched from the very beginning... you have a beautiful lake and the smaller pond is so nice.. excited to see what it will be like in 3-4 years time 😊
Those multi colored lily pads are insane! Nicely done
you should make a bridge from the shore to the island my whole family would love it
Maybe time to rename squirrel house to the “Mouse House”. Bring back some of the old Toad Dangler action. There has to be something on five acre pond to pay tribute to toad dangling. Thanks. Great video! 🎣
First time viewer and first comment. It was an extremely interesting and educational video. I did not realize there was so much work that went into successfully creating a thriving lake/pond biome. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful God's creation! The underwater camera really worked well. We see the bass clearly underwater.
God bless you and your family. 🙏🙂
Gaia's world
Hey quick thought is to maybe test out another scale, you could be double checking the weights to make sure their accurate. Also, I wonder for the shots of the fish jumping for Nate is to put the camera nice and low at the water level, you might get some better shots. Thanks for the great content!
You need some aquatic shade structures, a rocky stream would help with aeration and filtration
You should put a garder snake in there it’s awesome to watch 😂
Great content
Oh no!!! Did the pond drain dry?? 😮😮😮😮. Scary title!!!
#14 trending? So glad to be able to watch your channel grow from the beginning of the 5 acre
I feel so bad for Daniel Arms & Houston! So many big bass & blue gill gone.
Incase the talpia doesn't last till next season due to getting to cold you should install some kind of heater to get the water warmed up just enough to keep them life and active along with the rest of your fish in the swimming pond😊
The thing is with Algie waters grow lots plants about the pond they keep it clearer suck up any phosphates & fertilisers than leach in run off when it rains .
An easy fix future proofs ponds algie can kill your fish if it gets to toxic levels . Good luck been watching this pond from 1st build impressive learnt a few tricks also cheers!!
I love what you’re doing. My only grumble is ….. we need more videos!!! LOLZ.. Thank you. Looking forward to the next one. What’s up with the eagles and owls?
Nothing cooler than laying underwater in a pool and looking up during the rain. I understand you won't see much underwater in the 5 acre pond. But on a sunny day with the camera pointing up you should see shadows swim overhead. So I was thinking a camera pointing up where the fish feeders are. You'd have to test to see on what depth. But if it's took dark could always put it on a tripod pointing up off the bottom.
As others have suggested, i think you should start mixing in some smaller bluegill when you do the dock feedings. I feel like thats a guaranteed way to get the bass to start eating them. Also i can't wait until you finally catch Bonnie and Clyde again, really wanna see how good their doing in the pond...ik Bonnie is probably huge now
i must say bro you should be a Narrator your voice is so recognizable sort of like Sir David Attenborough, this channel is so addictive ive binge watched every vid the wildlife youv'e attracted to your paradise is awesome what you do is amazing well done bro i luv it..🤙🤙
I have no idea how your videos came on my feed but I’ve watched a few. You gave the most calming voice for your narration with great detail and good sense of humor for descriptions. The ninja turtle cam was a great moment. Keep it up!
This is interesting, raising fish. More than the ponds, the entire area is gorgeous. If I ever find myself with a pond, I will know where to look to for ideas
You gotta get one of them underwater cameras you drive around with a light. That’d be sick! Love ur vids
The bird you were referring to looks to be a Green Heron. If it had more color then I'd say it were a Kingfisher. Either way they're both really cool, I love watching the few I have on my 2 Acre lake. Glad everything's ok with your lake brother!
You guys should use a larger profile bluegill type bait to see if the Crimson Oak bass target larger baits at all.
Awesome video 👍👍👍 love seeing Moby. Gus Gus is awesome too. Raccoon/deer interaction was funny. 😂
Very entertaining and informative video! Really enjoyed your game camera vids of the night feeding bucks, does and raccoons. Luckily, I didn't see any evidence of feral pigs. Sure hope you don't have to deal with those critters! Feral pigs are a huge problem here in Florida. Best of luck with everything else!
After reading the title I was scared to watch. Great video as always. Thank you. (And Nate Makes)
Mr bama, sure you know this but if not it could help. Southern bass tend to have smaller mouths, as they feed on smaller forage most the time and grow faster. Northern bass have larger mouths and tend to feed on the larger more scarce prey. This may be why the bass are eating the shad and shiners, and not the bluegill as much.
Need shade trees in a hurry that are great hardwood, royal empress. It's a tap root so it goes down deep unless water to frequent, I live in Bama have a few of them. They have great smell of jasmine and purple trumpet flowers. Grows 6ft a yr or more
My fiance and I love watching your videos. She wants to see more turtle footage! 🐢🤣
American Bass kind of remind me of Perch over here in Éire. Also sounded like a military turbo prop flying over the pond on 5:10 😁
I think that was a green heron. Usually I see later in the evenings. Nice to see one out during the day, Nice colors.
This is beautiful.
Are you self educated about pond life? Well done.
Throw some hybrid stripers in there. They will eat some of the bass to help keep their population in check. They are also fun to catch and eat
Next time (hopefully not) but if you’re able to remember.. remove the battery from whatever is submerged before removing from the water. The electronics are usually fine underwater. It’s just when you pull them out and you introduce a “hotspot” and that’s when things short out and cause problems
