I literally have had zero interest in farming, fishing or anything like that, but nearly two years ago YT recommended me a video with a dude starting to make a pond and I‘ve been hooked ever since. BamaBass is the goat.
Pretty much same here. Until I came across this series series I had no interest whatsoever in fishing etc, but I have watched just about all of his videos
You may want to consider creating a tiered structure in the shrimp pond. It allows them to utilize the water column more efficiently. They will grow faster and have more natural food by increasing the square footage instead of them all crowed on the bottom. We used to do that in the 80's at Miss State experimental ponds. Make a frame(s) of 1" PVC and folding chair webbing or window screen sunk in the pond.
I was raised in a village in India and we had a small pond. The pond used to get filled with fast growing weeds. Pulling the weeds every week from the pond was a mammoth task until someone told us to put a few tilapia fish in it. Amazingly the tilapia ate all the weeds and we started harvesting fish. That was great for us.
@@longlehoang2556well so is like dog and cats and bats and monkeys so I’ll take that with a grain of salt. Some places over their they just eat whatever they can get their hands on, and then have the audacity to judge the pallet of a western person.
@@Unwashedclam uhh, no, you're having the audacity of judging people life and food condition without even thinking of what you're saying. Even in high income country like Japan, South Korea and Singapore, or even China or India (the Middle East diet is not that far off the Mediterranean, so I won't count them), people there love what the west considered as "exotic" or "subpar" food. Tilapia is one of them. And before you say anything, South Korean eat dog too, they just don't want to talk about it.
"Folks at home…". Whenever I hear those words, I know that I am about to start my weekly vacation and that I get to forget everything around me for a while. Thank you so much for making these amazing videos and for giving me a small escape from this crazy world we live in. I love following you and your family on this incredible journey and I can't wait to see more from you. Please keep up the good work and stay safe. Greetings from Germany 🙂
You have a great opportunity to see fish behavior change from being in a aquarium where they only eat when they are fed compared to a pond situation where they can feed anytime they want. From what i have seen the aquarium has them much more aggressive than the pond. Moby has completely changed his crazy aggressive attitude since putting him outside. It will be interesting to see how tiger does when moved later on.
I've been watching you're chanel for a long time bow and ive got to say your one good man you don't just take care of you're pets but you also take such pride in looking after the wild life around you too I love your videos it brings a smile to my face when I go to TH-cam and see you've posted something new ....I live in Wales in the UK and I don't see no where near half of what you see at your place in the UK such beautiful wildlife and wild animals on you're doorstep, glad we all get to see the real side of the wildlife not just what's shown on TV
@@frontbattles8090 He meticulously maintains the water in the pond, could he make it more clear? I am sure but it's not good for the pond from what I understand.
@DrSeuss-nv9hw murky waters prevent algae growth. If he clears up the waters and let sunlight hit the bottom it would turn into a underwater forest. Not good for fishing
I’ve watched every episode of this series as soon as you post them and i have loved every second of watching this beautiful habitat develop. you’ve created such an awesome pond and i’d love to get a chance to get a tour from you someday. i think a great name for a bass would be Tank!
Been watching ever since you built the backyard pond and would love to see a fish named Master Chief, love the work you put into these videos with the updates on the pond and the food you guys make especially the short wildlife commentary you make. Keep it up from Sweden
As much fun as you had building and tinkering with making the pond better. You have got to be so excited when you cast out and catch a fish or two. It has got to feel great knowing what you have built. Keep up the videos. Love watching them every two weeks.
I am just so fascinated with this entire series. I look forward to it every week. I don't think there's any other series on TH-cam I enjoy more than this... what you've been able to do is just amazing and it has been so cool to watch. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride!! You'll hit 1 million subs in no time 😎
My dream for a long time now has been to own a bunch of land and dig a big hole in it. This guy is fully living my dream and it’s so fun to watch. There are no videos I click on faster than these ones
I once had the dream of owning thousands of acres of hunting and fishing land, but had to give up on that dream because I was driving myself crazy trying to make the millions upon millions of dollars it would take.
So cool to see the progression. Moby is lovin' life for sure now. Always fun to see some fishing too. Gonna be pulling some BIG fish outa this pond in a year or 3.
Found your channel 2 months ago and glad I did! Your videos are relaxing, entertaining, and educational about fish and other wildlife. Honestly really looking forward to see what the pond looks like come fall!
When I fish a well stocked farm pond, I smash down the barbs on the hooks. It causes less damage and takes way less effort unhooking them. They stay on no problem if you keep the line tight.
You deserve 1 million subs, almost there. Watched the whole progression from the beginning. Happy Fathers Day and hope you keep us all updated for a long time.
Been watching since the start of the underwater livestreams of the backyard pond and it has been amazing to see the growth of not only the pond, but also your entire estate and family. Can’t wait to see these bass in 5 years from now when Oliver and Sarah are out there catching MONDOS. Porky would be a funny name for one of the bass.
All this time I've been thinking you were North Alabama. I didn't realize you were in L.A. too. I have loved watching your pond come together. Great channel.
Born in the city, but I've always enjoyed the luxury of country life. One day I pray to have a pond. Seeing all the good ideas and work you've done with your pond will an be a blueprint. A good k name would be King Kuppa.
I think I realised I like this channel because I like swimming and diving. All this fishing makes me realise we have different motives. I want to jump in enjoy the water with goggles or not.
By far one of the best content that can be found on youtube. Would love to visit some time but sadly living in The Netherlands aint that easy to just drive past.
The only channel I have notifications turned on lol I’ve been so invested in this series since day one and it’s been such a great privilege to see unfold
Would be cool to see what the inside of Clyde’s cave looks like (in the backyard pond). Went back and watched the initial build but would still be interesting to see what the underwater real estate all the pond residents are fighting over looks like now!
You inspire me to try and raise my own fish in my own dug out lake! I remember when you first made the small pond and now you have a prawn pond and a 5 acre pond?! Do you offer apprenticeships?! Lol😂 thank you for the amazing channel and the work you do!!!
i am a huge fan. learning alot everytime i watch these videos. please keep up the great job you are doing. thisis Luchembe from ZAMBIA southern africa.
So, come winter you could have 1000+ corpses bobbing around in the pond? I'm amazed moby hasn't scoffed all those litle fish and had a bash at the turtles!
I have to say I love this pond and the way its built especially with all the objects as well as the different depths. Looks like bass heaven in the making. I hope one day I can start a project like this.
What a great Sunday drop. The bass in the big pond are growing nicely. Looking forward to what the addition of the tilapia does, bye bye algae. Moby is looking great in the background pond. Happy Father’s Day to you!!! Hope you enjoyed with your family. Thanks for sharing!!!❤❤❤
I love this series! This pond has come such a long way and I can’t wait to see the next update! Here are some fish names: Casper, Ringo, Billy, Tubby, Finley, Zoom, Yamamoto. Thank you for the great content! ❤
My son and I watch regularly. He’s 15 and loves to Bass fish. His name is Zach. Love to have a fish named after him or myself. ~Trave Always great videos!
I do not know why I love watching this I’m almost never interested in these type of videos but I’ve kept up with this channel from the start love it maybe it’s just the information or idk love it all
I hope at some point this pond gets some gar. Three species are native to the area. And it’d be cool to see more variation in the pond. Not hundreds of gar but like 5. Just my opinion.
hi there is 1 recommendation that I would recommend is get some air stones to get oxygen in to the bottom of the pond, and it will aerate the water that will help with the problem with the algae
C-Caroline Love the videos. Wife and I want to name a fish after our 3 month old daughter Caroline. We’ve been watching these pond videos since you started them. It’s become tradition in our house to check for videos on Sundays.
I heard the Hawaiians call tilapia “poo fish” lol, I started watching you when you built your back yard pond and then it got flooded from a hurricane, now you have a 5 acre pond and a ton of amazing wildlife around! What a great channel!
It's remarkable what you’ve done here. I especially admire catching and tagging the bass. Naming them and watching their progress. It's incredibly entertaining and relaxing. I can imagine how rewarding it must feel too. Beautiful videos, cheers mate!
My husband and I have enjoyed watching your channel the last few years and learning all about the pond build. Would love to add the name Moose to the list for tagged bass!!!
I think a really cool next step for this project would be to collaborate with the Alabama Native Habitat Project. You could have that pond and surrounding prairie filled with native grass and reed species that would naturally increase the local habitat and food for wildlife and offer a ton of wildflowers. Maybe even lessen your reliance on feed
I don’t feel the need to comment very often, but this was one of the most interesting series I’ve come across. Amazing job dude! You have such a beautiful pond and your hard work is paying off. You and your family will be able to enjoy this for many years to come
This humble man is low key doing a massive scale scientific research project for many anglers to enjoy. The amount of data and work being done is astounding.
Tilapia are very aggressive bedders. They've out-competed native species here at the St Johns River and took over all the bedding sites. Just a little warning.
Absolutely love watching this process, this would be a dream come true for me to have a place just like this one day. Could I name spot "T" ? If so id like the name "Trigger"
Nice i have caught some of those got a lot of fish what about minnows, bullfrogs, and lily pads also like the dock its to high but just right with the water makes it easier to land those fish
What a great Sunday drop.
Nice
Time bucks gives good earnings..
Cool
Nice

If you like tilapia. Tried it for the first time it was horrible.
@@juliewoodman2439 You guys in the west just don't know how to cook tilapia. It has been a staple fish in Asia since forever, and we love it.

Most relaxing 20 minutes of my week. I don’t even use TH-cam for much else.
Actually so true
You can those fish topper and plopper 😊 love watching 👀 your progress and like I say every time yall are living my dream
Thats what it is. An escape into the life of someone who has it all. We just get to see selective parts.

It would be exciting to see a live stream underwater camera(s) in the 5 acre pond. That pond is teaming with all kinds of aquatic life.
Hope to get some soon, still not sure what the water visibility will look like.
@@BamaBass Can you do something to make it more clear?
@@frontbattles8090 He meticulously maintains the water in the pond, could he make it more clear? I am sure but it's not good for the pond from what I understand.

A bog filtration system is what you really need to look into. This is the single best way to give a healthy pond.

I hope at some point this pond gets some gar. Three species are native to the area. And it’d be cool to see more variation in the pond. Not hundreds of gar but like 5.
Just my opinion.
They will get in there. Birds carry the eggs. Just like the minnows in the pawn pond. Happen to us in Texas.
15:30 just learned that bass to play fetch. Everything's looking beautiful!
Thunder for a bass name! Your episodes are always engaging!
It's been so cool to watch this channel grow so much over the last decade. Keep up the great work!
I think Nessie would make a great Bass name! 😎
What a privilege to watch this series.
ok

Such a pleasure to see your video dropping out of nowhere 👌🤞
Nefarious for the letter N. I love your channel! I watch it religiously.
Great video as always. It will be very interesting to see when or if you catch Bonnie or Clyde
This is a series that never gets old
Been with you from day one! Happy Father's Day!
Timmy has GOT TO BE A Name!!!!
Hey bamabass :)
Is a livestream with an AMA possible?
I have so many questions.
Love your video series ❤
Best series on TH-cam! Love the vids keep posting

Me too.
Yeah the talapia destroyed the ecosystem in the ponds near my home.
How many species of fish do you plan on adding to the pond? love this series!
you know that second fish was Apollo trying to eat haha @16:26
Can't get enough of this pond🔥🔥🤘
Im so damn invested in this channel
Id love to do something similar here in Australia
Would love to visit later in the future. Everything is worth the eat.
Nature finds a way. A few tilapia will overwinter in the pond.
Always great when bamabass uploads!
It's remarkable what you’ve done here. I especially admire catching and tagging the bass. Naming them and watching their progress. It's incredibly entertaining and relaxing. I can imagine how rewarding it must feel too. Beautiful videos, cheers mate!

Rocky would be a perfect name since we already have Apollo. Love these videos! this is such a dream!
Well done and keep it up!
A very Happy Fathers Day to you Stephen. Catching the same Bass twice in 5 minutes was amazing!!
I look forward to every episode, keep em coming!

Just discovered this channel. It is awesome! I'll be back, a lot!
This humble man is low key doing a massive scale scientific research project for many anglers to enjoy.
The amount of data and work being done is astounding.
As someone whom has been "stuck" in a urban/major city my entire 25 years so far..
This truly looks like the dream life...
Tilapia are very aggressive bedders. They've out-competed native species here at the St Johns River and took over all the bedding sites. Just a little warning.
Yeah but Alabama has a cooler climate to keep the tilapia breeding levels low
I'm also unsure what the benefit of adding tilapia is. . .
@@brent829He stated it's to help with the algae.
I didn't think so being how far south he is but it sounds like his pond will get cold enough to kill all the tilapia every winter
@@yteka99 I guess we'll see if it really kills them
You guys should add a few grass carp to help with the algae
I've been in BamaBass withdrawal with no video each week but with your problems, you done good.
1,000 Tilapia ? Is the pond sustainable for that many fish?
they die in the winter
Yikes, adding Tilapia might be the worst thing you could of done. 😮
Love watching the wildlife that comes to the pond ❤
Absolutely love watching this process, this would be a dream come true for me to have a place just like this one day. Could I name spot "T" ? If so id like the name "Trigger"
Here in florida tilapia take over ponds. They eat all the bass eggs and all other fish eggs and ruin them. Hopefully this don't happen to you
It’s always worth the wait to see how everything is going with the channel can’t wait to see more keep up the good content.
Nice i have caught some of those got a lot of fish what about minnows, bullfrogs, and lily pads also like the dock its to high but just right with the water makes it easier to land those fish
best channel for unwinding, so cool how much progress you've made i still remember the days when the small pond was being built
No new video..... best part of ever other Sunday.
