You could put a under water light so all the bait will gravitate to it at night and the bass come and feast and you can get a better look at how much bait you have
I think more structure for the bass and bait to hide. Also making the pond deeper little bigger will help with the bass to grow so they are just in one spot all the time.
The trout might be a little more of a hassle and more expensive, seeing as you'll most likely have to install an air pump system to keep the water highly oxygenated
You need to get some big bluegills one that are to big for the bass to eat that will spawn and keep a food source in your pond..idk if you established a population of bait fish before adding the bass or not but that's always a good thing to do before adding the sport fish
The longer ones are school bass and the short thick ones are solo ambush hunters and are probably eating better then the schoolers with no shad in there. Js
You can put a dock out in youre pond and move youre feeder to the middle. it makes it so the prey source has to come away from cover and is easier to get
Maybe the bass are content on just grazing since theres no other predators to contend with so there not eating everything that comes by and very slowly growing, but that's a hard one because another predator might eat to much then bass wont grow much either
If you ever in north Mississippi give me a shout. I got 600 acres with 10 ponds on the place. And 3 of the biggest lakes in Mississippi is right by my house. Closest one is 15 minutes second being 25 minutes and the third being 40 minutes. And have 3 private likes I got permission to fish. Plus Mississippi has the cheapest non residential fishing license in the country. And known around the world for big crappie the world record crappie was caught in Enid lake. Which is the second farthest from my house. And it’s not hard to catch a 4+ crappie in Grenada lake. Big bass and 5 pound small mouth also.
Are you not doing anything to the lower pound I know u have two pounds what about the bass in that pound what you going to let them do die out an restock it with some new bass
instead of putting all the bass in the one pond why don't you take the ones that are skinny and put them in the other pond to fatten up then move them back at a later Day
You could put a under water light so all the bait will gravitate to it at night and the bass come and feast and you can get a better look at how much bait you have
Put some good structure in there next, some rock piles, branches, trees, etc. It will keep ur bait alive for longer and let them reproduce
Yup hook friendly structure
PVC or bill dance big fish matts

Ben, please bring some ice fishing content back this winter!!!!
The trout might be a little more of a hassle and more expensive, seeing as you'll most likely have to install an air pump system to keep the water highly oxygenated
They gorge themselves so I would like to see an attempt to limit out on small bluegills from a river to stock food for the bass pond!!!🎉
The pond is so sweet!!!! Great video for sure guys!
Install a maggot feeder like The Wooded Beardsman for growth and thickness on them fish!
Great video love the pond videos
By far my favorite channel, so much fun to watch
Call Bob Lusk. He's the "Pond Boss".
Id love to fish with you man. Thats some exciting fishing
Awesome right in your back yard. You managing it well. Wouldn't mind fishing with ya for a couple hours.
Loved the fpv shots
Good Stuff Mfer and ColeSlaw 💥💥🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nice video Benita.
You need to get some big bluegills one that are to big for the bass to eat that will spawn and keep a food source in your pond..idk if you established a population of bait fish before adding the bass or not but that's always a good thing to do before adding the sport fish
They're all a big one!!!
You got a killer property down there dude, major level up from Nebraska im assuming 🤙
SICK!!
The longer ones are school bass and the short thick ones are solo ambush hunters and are probably eating better then the schoolers with no shad in there. Js
You need an oily fish like shad, or smelt to feed them bass and alot of them. Also don't fish them for a while so they put weight on
Who's flying FPV now eh? The Slaw?! haha nice
I love to descale, gut, and season bluegills then throw them in a turkey fryer. Taste so good
My MAN!!!!💚🌲😎🌳
Wut up Ben, Slaw, and Mfers!!! Gonna have some Share Lunkers in there before you know it!!
Getting a population of cray fish is good too the produce a lot and pretty fast but they should be established before adding bass
Would love to show you some ponds in the local area where I’ve caught some BIGS
Start your own bait pool start growing your own bait for your pond
You can put a dock out in youre pond and move youre feeder to the middle. it makes it so the prey source has to come away from cover and is easier to get
Maybe the bass are content on just grazing since theres no other predators to contend with so there not eating everything that comes by and very slowly growing, but that's a hard one because another predator might eat to much then bass wont grow much either
Maybe add an aerator in an accessible area so the minnows and bluegill congregate there. Then the bass know where to go for snack time. 🤙
Get some goldfish in the bass pond it’ll be like butterscotch candy
Add some more shiners! These fish need some more to eat. Also structure.
You should think about connecting the two ponds together then install a bridge
You need to trim down some of that grass on the edge . And put a solor fountain to air rate a little . And get more minnows.
Your pond is looking good! What do you use to control the lily pads?
Maybe the ones that where thin where ones you’ve broke off on and they are passing hooks. 🤔
Are these ponds all fed by only run off, or is there a spring coming in as well?
Already know this a w video
Cute pony…..lol
Cole spotter.😂
Badass
That's crazy even with all that bait you put in they are all skinny. Its confusing.
You should have tagged a few before you stocked the pond with bait fish! I want to know how big a few would get over time haha
Try to find pay lakes around your area that have shad in them cause the owners normally don’t want the shad in their
🐐
Feel like you should maybe stock more often
Can you stock crayfish in the ponds?
YOU BETT 🤘
I guess you just need even more bait.
Dude you said you caught a PB and an amazing stringer a couple weeks ago. I’m sure it coming…… but when?!?!?!??!???!??!!??!!??!!?!!??!!??
Yesterday I caught a ten pounder
Why don’t breed shad in the small pond and then net them in the big pond as needed?
The pleasure pond
Oxygen is key to healthy fish..need some structure, branches,boulders ect .once that grass dies Fun vid,gotta love catching your own bass
Ben!!! Who won the contest? Haven’t seen an announcement
Different food source like shad
Bigger animal, more weight and size to move, more energy required, more food needed.
Hey Ben
Load up the pond with crawfish
Hey 👋
You need to do some more pond fishing stuff for us pond / bank beaters
Throw like 400 hot dogs in there toss couple bass in the other pond
