He'd jump out, splash water all over the wall, knock the top off the tank...even broke a few heaters. He was nuts.

    Moby has the genetics of an award winning Bass; he very well may be your future PB. He needs the space and constant food supply of a large, stocked pond/lake so that he can realize his potential. Just watch the predators in the water and keep them at bay as best as possible. As for Bonnie and Clyde, they are perfectly content where they're at and I find it hard to believe that they have the attitude to become 10+ pounders. I'm sure that their entire future doesn't consist of the small pond in the backyard - their time will come. Let Moby fly in the big waters like the mega bass-bird he's meant to be.

    When I was a kid I also had a largemouth bass that I kept in an aquarium and he behaved very much like Moby. Once they get settled into their new environment they get very aggressive. If I just walked into the room he would pace back and forth, nose up to the glass ready to crush whatever I would put in there. I fed him worms, grasshoppers, small fish, even cicadas in the summertime! He wasn’t picky. Eventually I let him go back where I caught him because he was getting too big for his aquarium. Those are good memories.

    I had a little largemouth in a 30 gallon tank for a year during a biology class in school. It was astonishing how voraciously it would consume anything that would fit in it's mouth. We fed sucker minnows and goldfish primarily, but crayfish, worms, bugs, chuncks of chicken or just about anything else we chucked in there would be savagely devoured. He'd often inhale six goldfish in rapid succession, then he'd hold a seventh goldfish in his mouth until he could choke it down about 30 minutes later. Really fun to have him. I turned him back into the pond I caught him in after the school year concluded.

    Having watched and studied a good amount of your content this match was terrific on many fronts.
    I noticed the first legit oversight, tactically at least, I've ever noted. 7:06 and 6:29, respectively, the bubble would have been impactful in top mid.
    That said, it is no knock on you in any way. That's obvious, you are TOP TIER in my opinion.
    Interestingly enough, earlier I saw a short video about a largemouth bass, called Moby. Moby has been raised after being caught in the wild. He is a predator, he eats everything and is ultra aggressive. Bamabass - Moby - if anyone curious.
    You good sir, are a Moby. Straight killer who needs fed.
    Respect.
    It explains why the bubble was of no concern as mentioned. Predator mode. It all makes sense.

    Your expierance mirrored what we had in our house. Caught a finger size Bass on a Golf course, brought him home in a styro foam coffee cup. Put him in a 55 gal tank with the tropical fish. After he ate all the tropical fish,
    We fed him crickets, worms, minnows, crawfish, small snake, live mice along with a salamander. The live mice were the big hit with everyone.
    We did the same, as you, we video taped the feedings, we simply called him "Mr Bass".
    He was the entertainment at every family gathering at our house. Everyone would gather around the tank to watch Mr Bass attack and devour whatever we put in there. Mr Bass was same as your Moby, an incredible eating machine. When he reached over 3 lbs he was so big he couldn't turn around in the tank , so we took him back and released him back into the golf course pond we caught him in. Golf course employees were super nice, even let us use an electric golf cart as we took Mr Bass in a large cooler back to the pond we caught him in. Happy ending.
    Thank you for sharing your video, brought back many memories.

    So cool! I love to watch fish and used to have a freshwater aquarium. Just some cichlids (Rams) and tetras, etc. from reputable pet stores. I found out I don't have a 'fish' thumb like I thought I did even though I did all the proper research. It just got to be too much for me. I came so close to buying a 75 gallon tank (the largest tank I ever owned was a 29 gallon long) but, my realistic side took over and told me not to. Love watching the pond build too!

    Moby is so aggressive, he may be better off in the new lake, in my opinion. He will have more room to grow there. Seems he would have nearly unlimited growth potential in the larger body of water, whereas, in the backyard pond, his growth would be somewhat limited. Also, if he has the opportunity to spawn in the bigger lake, he will be furthering his aggressive genes to his offspring, resulting in a lake full of aggressive bass.

    • @jenson1569

    What you said at ( 5:40 ) made me think back to "04" when I lived in central Florida & there was this pond I use to fish in full of Gar's and snake heads mainly. The snakeheads were extremely aggressive. being from Indiana I had never experienced fishing that consisted of non stop catch & release, it was fun for like the first 3 days but it never got old. ( off topic ) Also while I was down there, some friends and I saw solid black catfish cross the road by walking on they're horns. It was at night and they were young catfish moving from one pond to another. I anyways wondered how they knew that there was a bigger pond on the other side of the road, I think that is so interesting, I mean how did they know when they left the initial pond that just across the road there was another pond to go in too. This mystery still baffles me to this day.
