Today I'm stocking over 10,000 new bait fish to feed the bass in our backyard pond, but I have some really bad news about the pond!

I sure missed you guys 😊
Missed you too Lojo!
Looks like you use steroids for your milk substitute in your cereal LOJO
Sad about the oak tree, but the pond looks soo awesome!
Bout damn time LoJo lol good day when u post!
Good to see you man 👊
Make a family picnic table with the oak tree, fix the hole and you and the family go to a nursery and pick out a new one
Lojo, we have multiple huge oak trees on our property we've owned for the past ten years but a few years back one of them looked like how yours is looking.. we didn't do anything to it but it bounced back. I hope yours does the same. With all the earth moving that took place around it.. it could've gotten stressed via the disturbance in it root zone but just rememberthat nature always finds a way in being resilient. wishing you all the best.. the new pond looks great!
@@Elder_C I really appreciate that and I hope the same!!
It’s always a great day when LOJO posts a video!!
I appreciate that
@@lojofishing have you thought about ever doing podcasts again?
I would definitely wait to do anything to the tree it could be in shock from disturbing roots, lots of times come spring they'll bounce back, you can always dig out the dirt and fill it with gravel and mulch
Congrats Lojo the pond is incredible! Turned out great, especially with the boat ramp and dock additions. The island is by far the coolest impromptu idea and hopefully the snakes stay away 🤞🏼Good luck with the Oak! It looks recoverable but if not I see some amazing furniture possibilities. A big ole family dining table with chairs to match?! Live edge presentations are my favorite
Love it bro. Well done!! Sorry about the tree, but here is a thought, plant a new one in its place. LOJO family Oak Tree! Your girls will love it and it will be a legacy.
Missed you guys. Absolutely made my day watching the video.
you can still recover the tree. its smothered, but not completely dead. it has happened on my property several times with oaks and pines. you can also call a local arborist to come out and evaluate things. i have had them out before. very interesting information and educational.
Awesome content. Question: Why no Crappie? Suggestion: build a few little cabins and rent them out for people to come out and catch and release the Bass, have a few fish fry's with the Bluegill & Redear. Thanks for considering. Peace & Blessings!!!
Hey Lojo just a thought is having the feeder where you want fish to bed a good idea bringing predator fish in to feed from feeder while fish trying to breed etc
Lojo what a amazing pond you built for yourself the family and friends to enjoy👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hell yeah glad to see the backyard pond again can't wait for more. Now you need to try to catch a mono for the pond. Can't wait to see more, keep up the amazing content!!!!!!
Lojo I recommend adding aquatic plants
And lots of them water clarity
AKA bio filtration
I agree... If you plant reed beds to create coves it will also boost insect life too. That'll provide a food source for the bait fish, plus, give them some cover And extra spawning zones. That island needs a lily pad bed to the front of it. Then you can get out on the island and do some frogging.

I have a few TH-cam videos of my nano pond
@@Andrew-ej5pk how big is a nano pond?
@@BenBallard13 3 foot deep 12x 16
@@Andrew-ej5pk commented on one of your shorts.. 👍🏻
Really enjoyed this whole pond rebuild series
Awesome update on the pond & stocking!!! Sorry to hear about the oak tree. Hopefully it still can be saved!! Stay Safe & God Bless!! 🤠👍
Love these pond videos! Start tagging ur big bass to keep up with the growth.
Really been liking all the pond updates!
Have the tree turned into lumber then use it to build something cool where the tree is standing now.
good freaking idea
Plenty of woodworking youtubers you could colab with. John Malecki comes to mind.
Welcome back LOJO! 🎉
You built a cabin in the woods right. Now build a cabin down by the oak tree with a big front porch for the family to hang out and look over the pond.
Lojo was in the service 😂scared of a little bug 😂joking 👍
I Love How LoJo goes To Pick Up The Pipe While Letting The Fish Out. OF the Tube And Says Oooo Its Coming Oooo Its Cominggggg‼️🤣🤣🤣
What you do is take the wife and kids to a tree farm and pick out a new tree and then plant it so that it has more meaning to the family
Love the backyard pond❤ hope all goes well with you LoJo. God bless you and your family.
Glad to see another update pond looks good
Nice work. You have a good team
May God bless you and yours
Looks great I think you and your family will have many years of fun with it
Put the bass rep on the left and the brim on the right to look like a big bass chasing a big brim 👍💯
LOJO looking yoked! Nice work, bro.
Sure do love when LOJO posts a new vid.
Lojo you should build a wood bridge to the island!
Big tip, don't go cheap on the fish food. Most cheap food is fillers and binders and not actually protein and fats
@@Mjones8383 good to know 👊🏼
The backyard pond is gonna be an Awesome Fishing Hole when it all settles and the all the fish starts spawning . Dang the Oak probably got stressed . But the erosion could be smoothing it and also if it doesn’t have good drainage it could drown. But an Arborist could tell you. Hopefully it won’t be too late to save it.. also the same for the pine tree .. But if it is too late you could get it milled up and build a Pergola or a Gazebo.. Stay safe and Keep’em coming
Man that’s a lot of bait fish. And that tree is a bummer hopefully it will re catch and grow. And that pond is looking awesome would definitely not mind fishing it and just relaxing and enjoy that fresh air.
I’d love to fish that beautiful pond someday!
Love it lojo keep them coming
If y’all ever knock down that tree, y’all can turn it into a nice table and give it new life
The pond looks just like a big rabbit now, I love everything you've done with the place brother
Call an Arborist, Lojo. Maybe they can save the beloved Oak.
Yep totally agree with this comment. Maybe they're in shock? But I've had someone come out and give one of my trees a nutrient boost to save it at one time.
I'm dialing!!
There has been too much soil placed around the tree and the roots cannot breathe. I've heard that as little as 6" of soil around an established oak tree can cause it to die.
As a arborist i have to say that a main reason for the oak to be dying is that the earth around the roots is raised, and driving the heavy machinery and compacting the soil, the root canopy is as wide or about 3-4 meters wider than the canopy of the tree.
Fertilizer could work and maybe try to flatten out the raised soil around the area that I described, I would give it time to see how it develops over some time, it doesn’t have to be the end of the tree. Hope everything works out and if you get a arborist to assess the tree make sure that he has Isa Arborist credentials at the minimum. Thanks for the amazing content Lojo!
What’s up Lojo, definitely missed ya, but I understand life happens! I just wanted to give a little bit of helpful advice as a contractor! As soon as all that pressure treated wood is dry on the deck by the pond, you should definitely look into treating it. At least some sort of deck paint to help keep the life of all that beautiful work!
U are correct u can save them just dig up the root base and let it breathe bro! U can do it 💪
14:55 lojo, thats a bass snack
The pond looking great nice😂the poor tree 🌴
Some trees, you can’t put that much dirt around them. That’s a bummer man!! Loved the oak tree!
The oak tree might come back. You'll know next spring. If by June you don't see green leaves starting to show, you'll want cut it down and replant another oak tree. Your state conservation agency should be able to provide you with a list of tree farms.
So damn excited lojo upload❤❤❤❤
You should build a big platform 12 feet in the air on the island so you can fish and hunt from it. And maybe a water slide.
Great video man 👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣
The replica mounts are dope. Definitely out of the Norm specimens
Maybe dig it out and built a retaining wall with a bench attached to it with tree in middle if it makes it would be very nice
Maybe plant a few Chinese windmill palms around the pond. give it a tropical feel. they grow in Atlanta so they might so well in Alabama. Might have to baby them a bit when small but after they get established they can survive single digits to a point and teens and 20's just fine.
Lojo had a idea could you maybe tag some of the fish next time and maybe later tell your kids if they catch one that's tagged you'll give them 20 bucks? just thinking that might make them wanna fish more or maybe you could do some sort of challenge with it? love the videos brother hope your tree is ok!
I enjoy watching your videos keep em coming, Rob just mentioned you in his latest storage buy you should have got in on that's 1
Sorry about the tree... well leave that tall stump and have somebody do a carving like a eagel on top and blue gills around the bottom let you and your family sit there and let the visual get loose love the new pond and love the videos
The pond turned out Beautiful!!👍
You could possibly sell the oak lumber and buy a semi mature oak to replace it. They come in with a 20ft tall tree and pull a plug out and plant it place. This truck with 4 big spades one to make the hole and the other to place the tree
Research "tree root collar", etc... anything with tree collar... you can excavate the hole out and wait until next spring to see if it survives, if they all die next year I recommend just re-planting like 3 to 5 of the fastest growing trees in your state at the same spot at the new ground level and build a rooftop pergola for your family for shade near the doc. The cost to excavate trying to save your suffocating trees and the maintenance in hopes of coming back might not be worth it.
I would dig it out and then put down erosion netting that grows a natural foliage around you so that it will keep the erosion away. It has seed inside that.
If that oak is truly dead you should absolutely do like Bama did and use as much as possible in the pond and around the pond. Maybe make a sitting around out of a huge chunk of the main thicc parts. Like have a bench cut out of it and just lay it on the ground for a low bench. Root ball obviously goes into the pond.
Plant a 6 foot swamp oak right now. Fertilize it and use fungi. It will produce sooner than you think.
Let’s go you posted some more videos❤❤
If the tree comes down, you should turn a chunk of it into a big slab desk.
If the tree is dead, have it turned into lumber and build some benches for around the pond and use the roots for fish structure
have you considered adding aquatic water lilys to the pond? i know even though its a spring fed pond, aquatic plants are amazing for a healthy fish enviroment. i would even consider boulders in the water in the cove.create a place where crawfish can thrive.
Grab you some tree feed spikes that you drive down at the base of the tree and see if it recovers had a pecan tree that did the same thing and they worked bringing it back
Brutally cold.....
Shut up 😂😂😂😂
Lojo I sure would love to get some use out of chicken coop! Only issue is I live in Texas! But that’s the dream coop I’ve been looking for!
Dont forget to knock down and crush the nests once you spray them, or they will reuse the nest once it dries out
The birds said u killed our tree house so we shat ur dock! Lol
@@ronsautojax fair 😂
LOJO, you need smaller pellets for fry that just hatched because they can't eat the bigger pieces, if only gnaw on them until they're swallowed. You want the food to hit 3ft or deeper of water. Just mix it all together in small portions into a bucket for an even mix and you'll end up with biggins in no time! Love the video!
7:42 lizard just chilling on the base boards
How bout that gnarly shoulder vein Lojo atta boy!!!!!!!!
Get neighbor Darell to move that chicken coop to a better location on the property and use it as a shooting house for deer or maybe where it’s at is good enough !! Put a food plot in front
Don’t give up on that tree, it’s a natural reaction to pull nutrients from the limbs when shocked, dig a drainage line so water doesn’t flow into the hole drowning the tree and give the tree the winter to recover…
I missed your videos I no you had a hurricane by your place but I'm glad you guys are okay
You are going to have to build a gazebo out there at the pond for some shade and place to chill out.
You should only use the word smallest fishing lures
Put some fresh healthy soil around the tree so its not a dip where the tree is dont eant water to build up too much when it rains
Shiners are some of best things to fish with in fresh water just seems to always get me bites when I fish with stuff like that
If you ever get a chance to come to Australia you gotta try to catch a big Murray cod and get it replica mounted
We love the goats
Love your channel
One Thing......Watch Bama Bass!!! Incredible Home Pond There!! My Last name is Bass. US Vet here floppin......
You need to take your family picture down and have that bass mount chasing that sunfish mount.😂
I helped my friend put in a pond in 2017. The pond is 9.75 acres and it has blue gill, redear, smallmouth bass, 50 flathead. Where the pond is in KY
Call an Arborist 😮❤
Hey Lojo, I know you like big fish, there's a lake here in PA with 200lb catfish, would love to see you try your luck with them.
LOJO bro you need to get your tattoo finished or at least tuched up. Other that that the pond is looking awesome. The island is a great touch. Keep the videos coming bud were all waiting for the next one.
Root system is as wide or wider than the canopy width.
That's funny that you're using that reel from a challenge
Go Vols!!!
Lojo you need to do a carp fishing video they’re so much fun to fight
Hot it's 50 degrees in Tennessee right now.
Lol I just watched the video when you stocked 3 thousand baitfish🎉
No regerts! 😂
Maybe if you closed all the windows and doors of the chicken coop and set off a fogger bomb at night when the wasps are all on the nest? 😊
If the tree can't be saved cut it down and make something out of its wood to preserve it. maybe a nice bench by the pond. maybe a little dock.
You can also add mana pro rabbit feed to your fish feeder that’s what I feed my goldfish and bluegill in my pond and I have some butterball bluegills
You need to go visit Bamabass and his pond
