Rob you are a real breath of fresh air in the ever increasing toxic society we live in today. It's refreshing to sit down, relax, watch your videos every week and be reminded there are genuine, good, wholesome humans out there doing great things. From a semi-new viewer, thank you!
There were tons of ponds like that when I was a kid , where we swam and fished . but they are all gone now . the few that are left are fenced in and posted . I get why , but I sure miss the way it was . Thank you . for showing this .
I have been looking at all your videos. I think your whole family and your interactions with subscribers are amazing. Love your cooking and wonderful last minute ideas. I hope you do a calibration one day with another awesome TH-camr that also cools well. Reminds me of you and your family. You guys are great ♥️
May God Bless you Rob! You always bring us great content and you are one of the very few fishing TH-camrs I still watch. Keep up the GREAT WORK! Please don’t stop TH-cam.👏🤩
Hey Robert! I absolutely LOVE your catch clean and cook but I also think it would be awesome to see you do a video where you catch some big freshwater fish and stock your lake with it. Some peacocks and largemouth would be awesome. Crappie be super cool too then you could do a catch clean and crappie fry!
Have you stocked the pond with a variety of fish? I saw blue gill and some bass, but what about putting in plecos and other algae eaters to help it out? with all that food going in, you will want some to offset the nutrients going in. That water was pretty green.
lol, trick of the camera but 6:04 -6:09 I was like, "Well, you found your Gator". Funny, here in South Carolina if it was bigger than a mud puddle it was considered a swimming hole, Cypress Gardens was our "go to hole" when we weren't heading to the local beaches, gators pretty much just tolerated us swimming in their homes but it was pretty funny how some of those fellows from up North (large military community around here), would practically try to physically restrain us from jumping off the train trestle whenever they saw gators floating by and we just continued to jump in, just another day in the South. Love the videos as always, I was actually binge watching some of your videos when this notification popped up (I was on the one where you bought your mom an SUV,pretty awesome).
Adding moisture in the goggle helps to prevent fogging which is caused by the insulation of the equipment since there is no air circulation in the said goggles.
What amazing progress the pond has made in such a short amount of time. It's only been a hand full of months! I think the pond is going to explode next Spring. The underwater footage was like looking at a huge fish aquarium! :)
I have been a certified SCUBA driver since 1990. If I remember correctly, you were getting water out of your mask. You have a beautiful family. I remember way back when, we used to be able to have a conversation here in the comment section. I am so happy happy how many your channel has grown creating opportunities for you all to do all kinds of great things. So happy to call myself one of your long time subscriber. I believe I remember you all celebrating 500 subscribers! Keep doing what you do!
very cool. I was wondering when you were going to do a follow up on this. You love that boat too. I know you were worried about the large alligator in the water. You should be able to use the drone to spot it. As you can see you when you do your aerial shots you can see the bottom, so it should be quite easy to spot a large moving alligator. Very cool video.
Deermeatfordinner is the best youtube channel!!! I hope the videos never stop P.S Rob inspired me to keep fishing and use different strategies and baits. Thanks Rob!!
My friend, since i have been starting to watch you're video's, it made me feel more alive than ever ! I am a army vet and been a police officer for years and thought i knew about life a lot. But after seeing you're video's i realise that that there is so much more of life to see. It made connections deep inside of me wanting to go out explore more and go hunting enjoying and sharing this exp with friends or family. Sadly i live in the Netherlands and living by myself it's expansive and it's not very likely for me to visit the US coming years. So seeing these things you post are giving me the feeling i'm close to what i wish to explore for now. I'm very thankful, i hope you will read this and know that i'm very thankful. Wishing you best of luck and thanks of sharing you're freedom with me/us....greetings from the Netherlands !!!
Rob, your pond is Awsome man!!! Those big bull gills are thriving in there. When are you gonna load that thing up with some tasty "specks" ? I bet they would do great in that mossback habitat!
Love ya videos mate I’m a 14 goin on 15 in a week boy from Tasmania Australia love watching ya videos mate they make me smile and make me want to go hunting 👍🏻
Fog forms on swimming goggles because the warm wet air from our body heat condenses on the cooler-than-air lenses. Rubbing saliva on the inside of the lenses will work to a degree by adding a layer of water to the lens and thus preventing condensation to form - that's google search for yah lol learned something new today, thanks robert!
I see a catch clean and cook bluegill!!!! In the future. My moms farm has a pond about 3/4 that size but it’s deeper 15ft in the center I’d love to do that to.
what do you think about stocking your pond with crawfish and bullfrogs. With the bullfrogs you can do more catch clean and cook videos from your own land. I personally would like to see more videos of your ranch and pond
I enjoy watching your videos. Another great video, keep up the good work.I am praying for you, I am glad to have discovered your channel. I love how you say grace before you eat,and I enjoy watching your catch, clean, and cook videos. GOD Bless.
Wish I could do what you do just jump into a pond and be able to explore it. There’s a nice sized pond on my uncle chicken farm in Ohio with MASSIVE fish have always loved to see what’s is it as a kid.
Love your videos my nephews love them too... always inspire us to go fishing ... made my daughter caught her first fish .. mangrove snapper ... shout out all the way from Belize 🇧🇿
Awesome video! Did you see any crawfish? Oh boy later on when it gets cool at the ranch we can go out to the pond & let the kids fish and have a fish fry pick nick. That was so cool the way you made the boat go backwards 😂😎
I think you let some water in to keep them from fogging up. I absolutely love free diving like this. I won't swim without goggles on. Great video Rob!! Keep up the great and amazing work. Thank you for sharing as always.
Awesome video Rob. The pond / lake is looking good. I thought I saw some peacock bass. Is there any other reasonably priced property in the area? I would love to have a piece of paradise like yours.
You are amazing I love coming home after a long day and watching your videos it would be a blessing to go on a hunting / fishing trip with you and blue gabe!!!!
The pond is looking awesome! I was really hoping you would have caught some video of that gator swimming around on the bottom. lol. That turtle better watch out or it will become a gator snack. lol. I've watched a gator crunch up a turtle just like that one. It was like he was eating popcorn.
Awesome video! I have to ask - (Living in FL and with the warm semi-stagnant water) - Are you ever worried about ingesting some parasitic pathogens, flatworms, hydra, etc...? I have had friends and family living in all parts of FL for decades and visit frequently from NJ. I have also heard some horror stories.
@@deermeatfordinner Thanks for your reply! We are doing the same thing with our pond habitat. Our blue gill love making their beds put of pea gravel maybe have blue Gabe grab a load for your pond at work one day. Keep up the great work man
Deer meat for dinner I’ve always watched your channel and I’m a big fan I love when u always do catch and cooks and every time u cook food it make me hungry😂
Hey Rob!!! You removed the air out of your mask. It is so incredible to see all the new life in that pond in such a short matter of time!! The amount of baby fish is just amazing, I wasn't expecting to see that much growth but so excited it has flourished from almost nothing to a beautiful healthy ecosystem and will only get better with time. What a wonderful thing you have done here!!! As always, stay safe and God bless!!!!
It would be really cool if you could work with the U. of FL and let them do some research there and offer some pointers on what to do to make the habitat better. Great video, God Bless.
I used to have a pond we should dive in, about 15 years ago we were catching 14 to 18 inch crappie and massive bass out of, very clean gravel bottom, I introduced at least a hundred more massive crappie also this pond is 21 feet deep so I cut down a 25 foot cedar tree I then took a recycling container stood the tree in it poured concrete around it waited for ice drug the tree into the deepest area and left it, when the ice went out the tree sank and stood straight up producing an amazing habitat, I then tied a duck decoy to the top as a marker. I would love to return and take a look!

@@deermeatfordinner it's actually cool you don't know how to take selfies

awesome! would like to see how it looks now!
So happy to see Lake Iwannacatchafisha thriving like it is! I saw some bass, bluegil and green sunfish..I think..
This is so awesome, I love how involved you are with the environment!! This is beautiful and so is your family and your heart!!
Good job Rob! If only the fish can put up a sign, for sure they will say "THANK YOU ROB!" for creating what they have right now! Awesome!
Omg!!! I love apple snails! I did not know they laid their eggs like that. Thanks for the info!!!

Robert PLEEZ bring back the marlin video from Panama. That blue chasing those runners around is emblazed in my mind forever. Good stuff man
Another awesome video....... so cool to see the pond coming to life in such a short amount of time. Big thumbs up!!!!!
Fantastico me gustan muchos sus videos no me los pierdo ya termino la casa echo de menos los perros y sus comidas Dios los bendiga soy de san juan PR
Love the pond exploration videos! I would love a video of you introducing some exotic fisj
Now you need to run a analysis on your water and implement at fertilizer and lime regimen. Get some Georgia Giant hybrid bream.
very cool. I was wondering when you were going to do a follow up on this. You love that boat too. I know you were worried about the large alligator in the water.

Awesome pond, awesome videos. Awesome work. Thank you Deermeatfordinner
8:40 pops out head from the water pauses “ I feel like an alligator “ pops head back under. Lol
" We have seen a quite large alligator in this lake " 11:15😂😂😂
Deermeatfordinner is the best youtube channel!!! I hope the videos never stop
P.S Rob inspired me to keep fishing and use different strategies and baits. Thanks Rob!!
I always loved fishing but Rob inspired me to go more and try different ways
fisherman 56 agreed, I went from one technique to using all kinds of rods, reels and techniques after watching so many videos of rob.
Same!
Fact with out dmfd I would of never gone fishing with my family
There he is...the last hominid to never fish, is cured!

Dude your grammer and punctuation should be way better than this by 14.
baph omet how old are you? Surely you would have better things to do then start ya shit on people younger than you
tasmania lol MATE
Same bro my birthday is today, born on August 12th 2004🥳💪🏾
baph omet that’s how every real Australian types messages mate 🇦🇺🤙
The locals here on Guam also spit in our goggles to keep it from fogging up quick
Looking forward to the ponds growth and development in the coming years
You should do a well in your pond and also a few solar powered aerator
Can't wait to see Blue Gabe harvest your fish lol 😂😂😂
I can now say I've watched all your videos so far. my daughter love your videos
Looking good out there under water. CAN'T wait too see you fish that pond in a couple of years. When most of the fish are bigger. GOD BLESS.
Some great cinematography and editing there! Great show.

heart was racing for you in that pond when you mentioned alligators!! Greetings from Éire🇮🇪☘
Get a dugoutdude solar aerator. You can keep more fish that way
I see a catch clean and cook bluegill!!!! In the future. My moms farm has a pond about 3/4 that size but it’s deeper 15ft in the center I’d love to do that to.
That’s awesome can’t wait to see it grow on updates 😬
You should take a Cooler to a lake/ pond where you catch tons of big bass and put them back in this pond
They should grow massive on all the bluegills there
what do you think about stocking your pond with crawfish and bullfrogs. With the bullfrogs you can do more catch clean and cook videos from your own land. I personally would like to see more videos of your ranch and pond
Love y'alls channel I watch the channel every day literally
Thumbs up for the lake's name alone. I love it.
I enjoy watching your videos. Another great video, keep up the good work.I am praying for you, I am glad to have discovered your channel. I love how you say grace before you eat,and I enjoy watching your catch, clean, and cook videos. GOD Bless.

Do a catch n cook in the pond! Like if u agree
Only thing he can catch and cook while the pond is building up is the Gator
@@derekcassidy5602 and the turts
Awesome video! Did you see any crawfish? Oh boy later on when it gets cool at the ranch we can go out to the pond & let the kids fish and have a fish fry pick nick. That was so cool the way you made the boat go backwards 😂😎
I'm glad your lake is thriving
Ever thought about adding an airator the lake? It would promote plant growth and even help with spawning.
Wish you could do a before and after video/photos of what it looked like and what it now looks like. However great video!!
Those baby peacock bass are so cool. Tight work on your pond, see ya around
I think you let some water in to keep them from fogging up. I absolutely love free diving like this. I won't swim without goggles on. Great video Rob!! Keep up the great and amazing work. Thank you for sharing as always.
Awesome video Rob. The pond / lake is looking good. I thought I saw some peacock bass. Is there any other reasonably priced property in the area? I would love to have a piece of paradise like yours.

I stinkin love these videos of the lake and I love that thumbnail! One day I’ll have stuff like this.
Spit in your goggles to prevent them from collecting condensation on the inside while in the water. I am from Florida. Love your videos.
Love the pond. Giving us all a refresher in ecology.
Why don't you stock that pond to help speed up the process and you can get the right mix of fish going for a healthy pond? Just a question
We are in the process of stocking with wild fish... #lake #iwannacatchafisha
@@deermeatfordinner Thanks for your reply! We are doing the same thing with our pond habitat. Our blue gill love making their beds put of pea gravel maybe have blue Gabe grab a load for your pond at work one day. Keep up the great work man
Are there any gators out there?
I stocked my pond 6 years ago and now I have an awesome diversity! So cool! Can't wait to see the progress! Stay up Rob! God bless you and yours!
deermeatfordinner probably washing spit out of your eye 😂 jk
We need more videos like this!!! Great job on showing us how fish live there life’s under water
You should get some shell rock & create bedding areas.
Awesome progress 👍👍 love how it came together well done
Who else is watching from Florida going this man brave jumping n that pond 😂
lol fr.
Ron Wilson the title could have been “Florida man dives in pond with a gator”
Man your videos are amazing they always make me want to go outside and do something and start filming my own videos! Thank you!
Deer meat for dinner I’ve always watched your channel and I’m a big fan I love when u always do catch and cooks and every time u cook food it make me hungry😂
Those slow-motion boat shots we great!
Glad It worked! Looks great.
Not sure if it’s legal but would love to see a video of you going out and trying to catch some big bass and other species for the pond
some cool drones shots in this one! very cool. great video
Love it got a real Alan Jackson vibe from you guys cruising around in the boat big thumbs up!!!
Cant wait for the next development of this habitat!
Hey Rob!!! You removed the air out of your mask. It is so incredible to see all the new life in that pond in such a short matter of time!!

“Guys look at this beautiful pond”
Rob on the John boat: BRAAAAAPPPPP
It would be really cool if you could work with the U. of FL and let them do some research there and offer some pointers on what to do to make the habitat better. Great video, God Bless.
You should be there and do an underwater view of the feeding of the fish
The magic bell, love it. God bless you and your family
Spitting in your mask to prevent fogging it up while diving
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!! ALL THE BEST FROM CROATIA-SPLIT-DUBROVNIK...ADRIATIC SEA.

Beautiful the way you are help enhance the environment in these days when many destroy it
This is the update i have been waiting for. Fish looks bigger now ☺️
wow the channel blew up lately! love you guys!
officer: what u doing there boy?
me dumping trash in the lake: uhhh just making fish habitats
officer: ohh my bad
You should do a video catching and stocking your pond with cichlids, peacock bass, largemouth bass, and whatever cool stuff you can catch!
Hey guys. Brilliant video as usual. But we are way way over due a new house update! It's been weeks!
Amazing pond. Great work! Keep up building ecosystem for the fishes.
