What should we stock the pond with??
Boats 😂
@@brandonmyers4078 😆 🤣
Perch and crappie
Huge shad
Giant bass 😂
You should make it a bait pond, stock it with shiners and gills. Then you always have a large stockpile to feed the trophy pond with.
Great idea
Yeah and crayfish just load it up with bait
I agree bait pond, and he can take a couple hundred out every so often to feed his main pond
His ain’t a trophy pond yet
@@theepicthree123 that’s how it gets a trophy pond is to keep the bass nice and fat right?
Neighbor darrell is the neighbor everyone would like as they’re neighbor, that pond is going to look so nice when it’s done for sure!🎣‼️
Bamabass does have the ultimate pond. Those F1 tiger bass he put in are going to be monsters in a couple years
Right that is such a badass watch man been watching that since the beginning. I'd never heard of that hybrid until that last vid where he added them. They sound like a lot of fun to catch!
Absolutely right
Im infatuated with Bamabass's pond. I think if anyone can compete it will be Lojo.. Lets go Googan squad!
Bamabass was very patient in building that incredible pond and made it just right.
I love bamabass vids.
Having a neighbor like Darryl is on my bucket list for sure.
Always love hearing/seeing Neighbor Darrel... that'd be a good bait pond. That way you could chill out in it too and not worry about the fish.
I just love it when the notifications “some one liked your comment” or “you got a new subscribers” it makes me happy ❤️
What’s really nice is when ayo and lojo drop back to back.. it would be complete if norm dropped though
I'm from Wisconsin, half way to the north pole, and the water pretty much never gets to 72°. That's luxury water!!!!
Aye LOJO, to fix your low spots pack dirt or sand bags behind the low edges to bring the liner up, OR you can also nock out more space on the damn for the water fall like making it a little wider and deeper so it brings the water level down an inch or so and the width will help if it ever does storm and any little floaties can easily pass through the dam and not clog up the little space it has to travel out, just a tip, would love to see if you take my advice and see how that pond could really blossom!
No
You mentioned Bamabass’ pond! That was an amazing series for the build. Crazy all the time, energy, and money that went into that.
Some information for the pond and regular building. When using a chainsaw invest in some chainsaw chaps. The will save your legs in case of a malfunction. Also, try to preserve as much of that creek as you can. Having a fresh stream will keep deer on your property and will keep many other critters alive.
These scammers literally cannot avoid misspelling at least one word. LMFAO
@@jRoc26 XD hehehe
@@jRoc26it's not a scammer
Right below that pond build a larger pond, maybe 2-3 times larger. Let the water cascade down a waterfall to the next pond. Stock the 1st pond with goldfish and smaller species. The second could be stocked with trout. The goldfish could naturally feed the trout along with bugs. You already have a bass/catfish pond so this could be something different.
You now have a nice private oasis in the woods!!!
when cutting down a tree make a small horizontal cut on the opposite side just so it falls a little cleaner, then do the wedge cut on the other side. Good luck!
I’ve always wanted to build a pond like that so thank you for providing me my dream pond.
Great video! I love that line " AYO will have a yacht in here before we get fish in it 😂🤣" So funny!!! Can't wait for the next one!
you should raise bait fish food for your Bass pond like Bluegil, Bream, sunfish, shad etc....
I build ponds and water gardens for a living. I would put rocks around the edge. We us limestone, but it doesn’t matter. Cut out a shelf behind the liner and set the rocks inside the liner (in the water). Bury the edge of the liner as best as possible. Don’t worry about it overflowing so much. Every rain has water going behind it, and it should overflow at the waterfall.
Hear me out..build a deck beside the pond outta pallets, add a couple of chairs and you've got a cool hangout spot right by the pond
Also would love to see more catch and cook videos soon, thanks for the entertainment!
That is such a cool thing to have in the property. You could pipe that water and have a great source of natural drinking water. You could also take advantage of the hills in there and build yourself a hydraulic ram water pump and take that water to other places too using only the gravity.
Love the frequency you upload keeps me on the hook
Neighbor Darryl is a beautiful
Human. Ps we need him to
Share some of those sandwich recipes he uses aslong as he won't
Need to kill us after 😂😂
I'd solidify and beautify it a bit and use it for chilling out; alone, with the friends or the family. No fish or bait. A nice spot in the woods. I'm looking forward to the next pond. Then it will be cool to see what fish and bait in there. As an aside, Bama has done a very impressive project at that large scale.
I dream to find some property with a few creeks like that. so cool to have a natural spring on your property.
Need to do a pea gravle patio with fire place off from it would be a sweet chill spot
Now this is the type of content we want to see!!! Building up the land that you just bought.
Imagine walking thru the woods and seeing a wild naked Darrel 😂😂
My fantasy
Better watch out he forgot to put the soda can alert up for a reason 🤣🤣🤣
Lmmfao
Lojo to a mill! So glad you never fell off. You’re really meant for youtube man!
Love it bro!!! Awesome job. Love the property. So much room and diversity for all sorts of cool projects.
Missing the podcasts man. I know you guys are crazy busy but I really do enjoy the fishing after dark conversations.
I've ask the same question to both lojo and ayo it's been like or close to 2 months sence last podcast.
I miss the fishing after dark podcast also!
They've been really busy I'm sure.
I miss the podcast as well
LOJO and Neighbor Dale are the best dam builders!!!
Hey LOJO today I just bought my first loose bait caster reel two weeks ago when I saw One of your videos it inspired me to get outside and fish more so thank you for what you do and keep making really good videos👍👍👍
It should either be a bait pond or a way to start the growth of big bass for your big bass pond. That way you can make sure you end up with a lot of healthy bass.
love the pond vibes.. in the process of digging my first small pond. keep up the great content
Good luck
You should do a few tiers or levels that go down that section of the creek. I would definitely be looking at digging out and backfilling anything and everything you do down there to make sure it doesn't wash out.
Great video idea, I think the little pond turned out just how you envisioned. Can’t wait to see what you do with it from here. I’m here for it!
@LOJO you should use this little pond to have bait fish in. You could use the bait in other challenges. It would always stay cool and have plenty air in it.
Love the content. You guys have gotten me outside fishing more with my son thank you.
They make some solar power mini fountains for backyards ponds, they'd be perfect. Definitely add some waterplants, it'll add food for the fish and help with the water quality and clarity as well. As for alot of the leaves youcould make a canopy netting system over the top. Like bird netting kinda. Def make some kind of paver patio to chill out on. Maybe 10x10
Definitely give a 9.8 on your tree landing skills! As for the pond and what to do, I'm with Michael on stocking it with bait fish and crawfish that way you have an endless/regenerating supply to use on your big bass pond!
Kyle, did you respond to the text number sent to you? I got one too and think it is a scam. The texter asked a bunch of questions, then said I was selected to receive a prize. Then this party tells me I have to pay for shipping??? Is Lojo really behind this or what?
@@peahead2632 I have no clue man. This is like the 4th one they have tried me on. The very first one they did the exact same thing you said they did to you, told me I won a Shimano spinning reel that's worth like $900-$1200, a nice spinning rod, and 20 packs of fishing lures. Then they told me I had to pay shipping cost of $60 so I did, then they said since it's a custom parcel I had to pay another $40 then I would get my shipping info/tracking number so I paid that too then never got said shipping information. So eventually the package never came and had like 7 different people send me Venmo requests for money. Definitely don't let them get you and I hope all of the other subscribers read this so they learn what's going on. Idk about LOJO being a part of it or not, I would like to say that he's not, he's got enough money, he's a veteran, and has a family a big family man so he understands doing stuff like that could potentially hurt a family or keep kids from eating at night.
@@Marvie15, I don't do social media, but I see that LoJo has a couple of them listed on his site. maybe you could send him something and have him look at it. I posted a reply on his last video about this and included the text number, but it was taken down??? Who can do that other than him? Thanks for replying back.
@@peahead2632 no problem man, I always try to answer anyone back that messages me especially about something like this! But yeah I've tried adding him on FB to let him know about the issues going on, I've tried contacting Googan but they don't have a support number, and I've tried letting them know on here as well. Still haven't got a thanks for letting us know or even a reply to let us know they will look into it. I didn't know the part about him having some of them on his social media though, that's a mind boggler and makes it even more plausible now!
Kyle, again thanks for getting back to me. It looks like all his social media is linked to Googan Squad. Poor setup. I'll keep trying to post on his comments section and you should to about being taken. He needs to do a PSA before one of his videos to alert his subscribers..
This was dope! With as clear as the water is imagine the underwater bite footage you can get with some bass! I can see a larger just hammering a lil juicee jig!
Love the content LOJO. Thanks so much for bringing us along. Straight fire video once again
Hey LOJO giving you a heads up on your future Home Depot adventures. Getting stuff down and buying the whole pallets of anything isn’t that weird and honestly as an associate at a store, we’d prefer it, it’s easier overall
I abosuetly love your channel, makes me happy on my darkest days to see you upload, thank you for all you do
Hey idk you but that doesn’t matter, I love ya keep your head up 🙌🏽🙏🏽 your comment was the first one I read so thought I’d take the time and say sorry for whatever you’re going through, ha sounds weird but since you watch Lojo I care about you 😂🤷🏽♂️🤘🏽
@@jakobmason Thank you man, I try and keep my head up, thanks for taking the time to spread positivity
@@stillwaters1271 no problem everyone needs some positivity nowadays 🤘🏽💯
40 lb blocks is my guess! I build retaining walls and flower bed with cynder blocks . And stucco the outside !
Love all you guys ! Happy building !
Imma go fish in my friends pond later and catch some brim and bass!
Hey Lojo just wanted to say I love the vids and I appreciate you being such an awesome TH-camr keep making good vids for everyone 💯💪🏻
You should get the water quality tested cause that's a natural spring and if it's still seeping it could be another spring bubbling up from underneath er or coming from the sides.
Can’t wait for a 10 pounder 💯
Videos like this is why in the last 2 weeks ish I’ve watch all your stuff ayo and most of norm you guys are just great
Same👍✌️
Really enjoying the new type of content your putting out. Keep it up!
Love the comment about the crimson oak pond. It is pretty awesome. I think you should stock this pond with bait for sure. Bream/panfish fishing is always fun.
Tbh I hate bass fishing”I’m a cat guy” but watching yourself ayo and norm whether together or not brings a smile on my face…Great vid like always
We need some more pond upgrade videos!!!
Lojo I am your biggest fan and I just had an idea you can put extra fish from your main pond in there.
You wont see this, but love the work you put in LOJO, big fan of you and badge!!! When will the podcast be back??
Thank you. We are filming a new episode Wednesday so hopefully soon
@@lojofishing yes!!!! Man, wish wisconsin had a youtube mentor for me like badge had for you…both of you are killin it!! How long is left for shaving the beard off?? Haha
@@wiscored88 bro I hear ya, i wish the same where im at. Maybe we should have Lojo adopt us for a week, we pile in à bus and go there and he can give us a summer school version of what hes done with Badge. It would be fantastic content and the last day we can have a fishing tourney, now whos in???
@@RyanRyker definitely in!!! I just need to learn how to forget the camera is there and open up my personality as well as learn how to edit…maybe learn how to catch fish…didnt name my channel “skunk’d fishing” for nothin haha
@@wiscored88 bro i get it, I live in Windsor Ontario right across from detroit michigan. Lots of bass, pike, walleye, sturgeon occassionally, muskie, carp, channel catfish, bluegill, perch, we have a ton of cold water fish. Many with teeth. Im in the same boat with forgetting about the camera and just let me be me. I think its hard talking to yourself, im good when someone else is there, but havent uploaded anything bc i feel like all the videos just arent up to snuff, you know what im saying? I guess we just need to start doing it and learn by trial and error. I have a bad back, 2 surgeries and im still not walking upright most days. I just wanna help earn for my wife... kinda feel less then a man at this point. Fishing is something that takes my mind off the pain, and i can sit down or stand whenever my back gets sore and i can do it on my good days which im still in pain but i can move for a while b4 having to get back on a heating pad if i wear a black shirt and let the sun just pound my back with its rays. Anyways, just be yourself. A lot of the youtubers I like are just purely genuine, and dont pretend to be something more. They dont flex their wealth, they are just really down to earth. But if ur having a prob, take a friend, have someone else behind the camera and u talking. Give it a shot, u literally have nothing to lose. Just Rig N Jig.
Finish that out as a natural swim pond and build a tiny cabin next to it. Ya could make that a great weekend spot in the woods swing fire pit. Camp LOJO 😆
Okay next time you fell a tree, remember to cut a wedge out of the side you want it to fall. That way it falls and you don't get that bit where you said it looks dangerous. You can add solar powered fountain and air to it.
Oh yeah since it flows off your land keep to native species
Y’all should stock it with bluegill and crappie, also put some cinder blocks for structure. That is an awesome pond! I wish I had one and could meet y’all in person one day!
no pond is safe
Is this a threat?
Love all the boat builds recently.
You should put a few pipes in where the water fall is now and build up the entire pond about a foot with concrete bags so when it rains it doesn't wash everything out and you'll still have a constant water fall with the pipes, also when you build it up more make sure the end that drains is still lower for when it storms. Also cover everything up with pea gravel
I like fishing
This girl has been watching you, norm, and ayo religious the last couple of weeks. You guys are the best TH-camrs right now. You have something special going!
I mean your trying to flex a little lol... Butt flex buddy you worked for it and you deserve it
First of all *you’re*, and then *but*.
That’s not flexing.
You can even makes man-made beaver style dams. Those trees you cut can be incorporated. Materials are free. Rows of stick vertically, other weaved between those, and build up.
Someone keeps going to your video comments and saying that I won a prize and telling me to call a number can you find out who that is
SAMMEW
It’s probably bots fam
Happened to me as well
To me as well
Nice pond! Maybe you can put rocks on the sides of the pond to look it nicer and make it a little higer on the edges.
Some stones on the the bottom of the pond would also be nice with some waterplants.
Great video Lojo keep it going!
New favorite series! Stock w craws and bait fish first!! Do a mini bammabass style
Lojo you should keep going make it multiple ponds that get bigger and bigger I'm sure there's more areas that can work
Order some riprap stones to throw on the back end of the cinder blocks and cement a path to make like a degrading water-fall, and go down stream a bit more and damn it up like another 1-2 feet so you'll have a mini river that's about 1-2 feet deep, and dig a few pockets that drop down to the 3 foot area, throw in some sand and stone.
Use it as a cold tub for now, then maybe a hatchery for shiners and bred them for your bass pond and work on making ur bass pond bigger.....or make this one bigger, whichever u prefer. Nice to see it coming together for you. Why can i picure u and Daryl working in the hot sun all day then driving down there with a few cold ones and sliding on into the cold tub. I can just picture u two swapping stories or inviting the guys over for a cold tub and a few episodes of catch and cooks with daryl and then an episode of after dark.
Scam
That creek will make good moonshine. 👍
Consult a forester, not a surveyor for boundary and property lines. Rusted fences are existing property lines. You may want to look at existing records of your property at your local courthouse. Keep in mind of SMZ’s, stream management zones, and the roads that the stream crosses over. Some of those dips are crucial to moving water off the road and preventing erosion.
LOJO I wish I had known you were going to do this project I could have saved you a lot of headaches. In future pond projects you may do, you need to put a substantial layer of ground up newspaper insulation down and pack it against and up the walls as well as the bottom of your pond. It is an environmentally friendly material. What it is, is a construction insulation that you can get where ever they sell insulation. What it does is after you put your liner on top of it and fill your pond with water over time with the pressure and moisture it becomes a clay like substance. This essentially makes a waterproof barrier and thus if you get a hole in your liner it will still hold water and not allow the water to leak into the ground. In the oilfield drilling industry it is also used for loss of circulation material which walls off the sides of the hole which prevents fluid from escaping from the drilling process. Maybe if you build another pond in the future this will help you.
Blue gill and shiner pond. Get a bluegill feeder.
Also should get the water tested and put some lime rocks and pebbles onto the bottom of the liner
What an awesome idea Lojo. I'm sure once your done and put fish in it it'll come out freaking awesome 😎
Those two trees to the left of where the water inlet pipe is would make a perfect place to put a sittin bench. Then maybe a canopie or some solar lights. Really a little tree house like deck or somethin 8ft off the ground would be rad
Really loved this video. Need to build a berm around to eliminate unwanted low spots and secure your liner asap. Otherwise you will keep acquiring more water underneath. The list to beautify the place would take too long. Great content. Love neighbor Darryl ❤️
That’s a good start. Now go watch bana
Bass series on his pond. And build one half of 1-4 the size.
Putting a patio around it would be cool. Alos cleaning up the edges a hiding the concrete and tarp would improve the look of it and make it more pleasing.
You definitely need some pond plants. And I would add a fountain with a filter built in something simple like a sponge Filter. And I would plant all around the edges. Build up the hight of the walls. And add a water fall set up. Th Azad t looks natural. With a couple small pools in it which will trap some fish that get out of the pond.
We found a natural one in the woods when we were kids and enlarged it to a mini pond and stocked it with all sorts of fish. We thought we had something good going on after we were done but very quickly found that the raccoons would take all the fish for supper as fast as we could put them in. But it was fun will it lasted.
man every video i watch when a man discovers a spring is the best feeling | 2:31-2:50 | i can feel the awe like damn this water really gushing out the grounnd
probably my favorite LOJO video ever
Hey LOJO, I love your videos. I’d love to see maybe some more Illinois fishing, preferably Chicago and northern suburb fishing. Can’t wait to see what this pond becomes! 💪
Definitely more property vids! 🔥
You should definitely put some pond shade blue dye in it 👍🏼
I think you should make it a bougie as possible, like white rocks, palm trees around it, build a porch swing, tiki torches, the works. Maybe get a wooden sign made that says "LOJO's Honey Hole". Just over the top oasis in the woods lol
Bait pond for sure or just a nice swiming pond for the adventure, with AYO n NORM
Hey lojo you should stock it with gills during the spring/summer and trout in the fall/winter for your kids to fish, also if it last till hunting season you got a hell of a watering hole to hunt on.
I love that it is natural, winding, with logs crossing, and it hasn't been channalized like most streams in the US.
When stream are straightened, it increases the speed of flow, which digs deeper and creates a tiny canyon. This rips away aquatic habitat, and it decreases the time the water has to seep into your land and make it into the water table. If a stream winds, when it storms, and the level raises, it is supposed to come out of its banks, onto the floodplain. We used to think straightening, and managing streams is important, but it's destructive. The mindset of "let's get this water out of here asap," means that water ends up downstream faster, which means a quick buildup, floods, downstream.
North America used to have hundreds of millions of beavers, and they existed here far before humans evolved. like 10 million years. They are a keystone species, meaning they create lots of (riparian) habitat for countless other species. Even when they move into an area, some people freak out, because it could kill a few trees. What we must realize is that we live in a place that is lacking beaver, and those tree would have been submerged long ago. Even dead, standing trees in beaver habitat creates so much habitat for birds that eventually make nests in the dead trees. Also, beaver dams aren't solid, they are permeable. They slow the water and allow for heavy metals, nutrients, and toxins to settle, instead of flowing downstream.
Bro this looks like its gonna be cool af. You can raise baitfish in there. Way to name drop Bamabass, dude does have an awesome pond though, respect.
A heads up from Idaho, where we have 10 times the number of trout than we have bass and catfish combined. That little bit of water will be tough for them, so don't add many. It'll theoretically be cold enough for them to live, if not thrive, but you'll only have a limited amount possible
stock it with some hybrid gills and some shinners for feed for your bass. And it would be wild watching you guys fishing for your bass bait
Nice mention of BamaBass’ pond. Cause that’s instantly what I thought of when I saw this video pop up lol
You should undam that whole creek so it flow’s amazing for the pond
Hey that's great footage of them getting the quick Crete off the rack. I like creative b roll like that
Fine job. Was hoping for a little bigger but still cool af.. throw some logs and a few big rocks in there.
Nice work man excited for part two let's go!!!!
You could have had all of that concrete and cinder block delivered to your driveway. The fish will be good food for copperhead and water moccasin.
Love your videos am proud to see how far you have come from the the kayak fishing videos
Lol that last statement 🤣 in the video! Too funny
Neighbor Darrell is the MVP of all Neighbors you're lucky Lojo
