Crazy how these videos make me feel like I’m apart of the whole process as if it was my pond haha! Also how time flies! I was thinking about how your backyard pond was so many years ago!
True we what proff . Thar some 9f us made it there.
Stupid ass bots...
for real ❤ i like the outdoors so thas why i try to be here watching 🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@nickmcgookin247 what are you talking about?
I have the same thing 😂
Be careful with water plants in the new pond, because birds like ducks can transport them to the big pond, since they will be using both.
@Maria CANCER this comment deserves to get more likes for and subs ❤feel better fight the cancer
hell yeah. Those webbed 🦆feet carry everything! 💀
I'm so ready to leave city...I thoroughly enjoy your videos..so therapeutic.
Always have a rush of positive emotions when I see your video notifications. Love this channel. He looks like he's a Larry, Larry the Shrimpster (prawn name) Ronnie seems like a good bass name too
Me tooooo
He had a Larry who was a big crawfish that lived with Bonnie and cylde
I still think its a crime that one of the Bass is named "Maverick" yet nobody else is named "Iceman" and "Goose". And you can trust me cuz my name is part bass!!
I agree
Seriously!! I saw this notification I was like ooo I’m sleeping to this tonight!
Love the oak tree you've planted on the island. That will look magnificent in about 10 years.
It’s really too bad he can’t plant the damn to hide it a little. It looks so odd as a triangle.
Damn dam, dammit!
@@monkeynuttttttsI'm the real monkey here.
Love the fact that you went from engineer to apprentice biologist. The way to keep these amazing creatures alive and healthy is a mix of both. :)
out of the four hundred fifty freshwater species of shrimp 🦐he chooses the one with arms long enough to stab his fish's 👁eye out. 🤨
@@PurpleDracWhy do you have to put an emoji every few words?
@@Shixaal well that's a useless question
@@TimothyB-lb6ek Well, that's a useless response considering I never asked you.
@@Shixaal I just got roasted
You should plant some native long grasses and cat tails on the island. It will make a good nesting habitat for the birds and you'll get a ton of amphibians which the bass love to eat.
You should try planting wildflowers around the pond ! It could hopefully give bugs and a few smaller mammals shelter and in term more food for the predatory birds around the area
One of the best series on TH-cam by far, been watching since day 4 of filling the pond up. Would love it if you could name a bass Behemoth
The only series on youtube that i always click right away to watch when there's a new video
Facts
I found this channel by following through a few Aquascape links. And lemme tell you: fishing is not even my thing, but I loved watching the progression of these pond builds and the way you’ve built the 5 acre pond up as a sport recreation pond and a habitat for local wildlife. I’ve started to put your videos on late in the evening as a calm, relaxing way to wind down at the end of the day. Probably not your intended purpose or audience, but something about the combination of the wildlife updates and your lowkey voiceover is just the perfect cocktail for the winding down part of my day. Whyever you chose to do what you do, I’m grateful for the lowkey, low stakes pond life content. It ticks all my boxes. 😁
The shrimp look crazyyy
THANK YOU FOR BEING SO GIVING AND YOUR LOVE FOR LIFE AROUND YOU CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW BIG YOUR POND GETS! GOOD JOB!
don't use corrugated pipe for drainage, it clogs up with debris. you need to add plants to the shrimp pond, not just Lilly pads.
I also think he should add aquatic plants, it will be a hiding place for mosquito larva that will be food for fish and fish. Plus shrimp like grazing on plants and their babies hide there
@@-.Meylin.- mosquito larvae only live jn stagnant water.
@@TrumpAmerica-2024 It's a pond
@@-.Meylin.- that will have a filtration system like his backyard pond.
I love your name
For the letter R: Ranger
Huge fan of yours keep up the great work. Would be pretty cool to have a monster in the pond!
Time flies by when I watch your videos. I hate knowing it is ending. I love the videos man. Totally entertaining and I learn things . Thank you til the next video. It's ok if you make a hour long video every week at the same time and day. 🎉
I've followed the pond build from the beginning. That pond is going to be big bass paradise in a couple of years. Bream also. Thank you for the videos.
I'm living vicariously through this channel! The only difference I would do is trout and bigger island with weeping willows. But that's just day dreaming stuff. This is very cool.
Please build bat houses and bring in more dead wood piles. A very nice project, thank you for these beautiful videos.
I realize the lateness of this reply, but he does have at least one bat house at the pond, and bats have moved into the area
I really appreciate you sharing your joy with us. I looked forward to each episode
Ain’t no better way to start the week than with a bamabass video!
Amen brother!
I cant believe how long it has been since the first video on the pond build. I have watched every single one and I love them all. I think this is because you are living my dream, keep up the good work!
Literally would love to visit here, and spend some days fishing. You have a anglers and nature lovers paradise.
For your island, use a soil aerator to make holes in the soil and spread top soil over it. Then use the aerator again to drive soil into the clay.
I think the only name a prawn like that can have is bubba!
Side question: how do you finance all these awesome projects?
First time seeing this series. Wow! gotta a lot of great content to catch up on. I feel like all fisherman dream of building a pond. For the bass name - P is for Pearl Belle. My dogs name. Shes a sweetie.
It’s the best series on TH-cam
Ivan would be a great name for a bass. Had a wonderful friend that loved fishing. Used to take him out fishing every Tuesday evening one summer. He passed a few years ago. I loved my Tuesday’s with Ivan.
Fish name for letter Y - Yogi. A playful and friendly name that would be fitting for a sociable and curious bass.
I remember I kept asking for crawfish to be stocked and was so bummed when you announced why you couldn't this is what I've been waiting for you to do . Another great video
Love your content BamaBass. Been watching for years. Cant wait to see Bonnie, Clyde and Moby get added to Crimson Pond!!
it's cool to see the amazing development of the Crimson oak pond, been here since day 1. hope you can name one of the bass "Hari" it means King here in my country. wish you more power and more videos in the future.
Thank you for bringing us along for this pond adventure and allowing us an opportunity to help name the wildlife. 🥰Id like to offer a few names for the Bass; Ariel, Ursula, and SeBASStian, keeping with the under water theme. 😁 Keep up the great work BamaBass! ❤
Call the big prawn “grabber”.
We always called the largest fish in the lake "Walter" so I nominate that name for "W". Love the channel.
I can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Great video! You always do a great job of giving full updates for your fans. I have been a subscriber since before Bonnie and Clyde. Remember thinking “damn great names, I should have thought of that.” Your grandkids are going to watch your videos one day and be proud of the humble and kind man you are.
cant get enough of these videos, those prawns are wild looking!
You can use alot more bio for you canister such as crushed lava rock or even put it in a mesh bag to keep it together sponges also help with mechanical and biological filtration aswell. For even finer particles to get that sparkle in the water use some synthetic pillow fluff just swap it out each month or if not sooner
Have you considered putting crappie into the big pond? I'd love to see some huge crappie be pulled out. Also love the stuff you put around the pond, bird houses, duck coups, the grass, etc. Keep doing what you do, it's amazing!
Hey... name the first one you caught twice "over bite"
Wow! Love seeing everything grow ! The animals ! The farm ! It's like a paradise
Awesome job man! I would of loved to see Moby get a prawn!
These 20 min videos go by so fast. Great filming, editing and most of all content@ thanks bama bass
You should call the giant shrimp 'Stretch Armstrong'. And I'd love to call one of the aggressive bass 'Gracie ' after my brand new puppy. Thanks Steven n Liz, love watching the pond coming along every Sunday. Benny.
Really cool to see the growth of the the pond and how you’re adding everything together, coming along great. Also was thinking of naming the pet shrimp Jacques the inspector from finding Nemo. 🙌🏼
All of my ghost shrimp are named Jacques lol
Cannot wait to see these prawns grow! I LOVE THIS SERIES!
Man I love this channel. I usually like to come back every month or two because I like to see how much is has changed and I’m always surprised. Btw why don’t you let the island grow wild grasses? It would be cool for the island to be covered in wild grasses and flowers. It could potentially become a habitat for birds and reptiles
I'm closing on a property in a few weeks with a big pond. Your videos have me so excited about it.
I’d like the name “Big Gus” for the male prawn, seems fitting for that massive set of claws he’s packing.
Yeah and name the 1 Armed Bandit....Cptn Hook😂
There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich.
And thats about it...
🤣
@@BamaBass Can you name a fish Lieutenant Dan???
Demo ranch fan by any chance?😅@@RelaxingRestoration
I wonder what the accumulated cost has been for this entire pond building adventure?
I have wondered as well. I would guess into the 6 figures
@@jamesgetman3400 I would say 7 figures easily
@@jddarby007I know just to build the dam he had bids in that range but I don't remember if he said what the final bid he went with cost.
Wooow! I haven’t come across you guys in a whole year and a half almost two and so much have changed! Great to see u guys again!
Dont know if you have them but i feel like a pike would be amazing in the aquascape pond and it would also add to the diversity of the ranch
Yautja for the Y
Quazimoto for Q
So glad to hear somebody else say weedeat haha. Love your channel! You got the best pond /fishing /land management videos out there imo
But I can't believe how far you came, I remember stumbling across your bass fishing videos and watching your backyard pond video and then this series. One of my favorite channels to watch
love too see more of your duck house and coup, wanting to do one myself but stuck on a design, thanks
Stumbled across your channel this weekend and I've now watched all of the pond videos. Great channel!
A few names to toss into the ring:
A - Anaconda
I - Ironsides
U - Ursula
X - Xen
You are living my personal dream of being the god of an ecosystem. Mesmerising stuff
Def a part 2 with both you and rob taking 2 rods with different baits
Prawn’s are great eating, fun trying to catch them out here in Hawaii. Mostly found in our fresh water rivers.
I watch your content at work, for some reason it’s so relaxing to watch, you be get it g me sleepy lol awesome content
P Name - Prosper
love it when you show us the surrounding wildlife - Makes me want to build a pond of my own
X Name - Xavier :)
You are doing one hell of a job. Everything to a “T”. Been watching since before the pond. And I plan to keep on watchin’.
How about “Milo” for the M?
One name can be sabertooth❤❤❤❤Love the videos
For i go with iris or z go with zeno. Love the pond! I hope one day i can build one like that myself. Looks like a lot of fun! Cant wait to see what it looks like in another year or two
Fish names: Ivy, Pond Potus, Ulysses
Prawn Name: BubbaGump
Thanks for the wonderful content guys keep up the great work!
Love these videos, my boy started watching them for all the heavy equipment, got my wife on board with the ducks, and the baby chuckles when Moby bonks his head. My daughter loves owls and she wants to name a fish after herself (Amelia) or Ariel (from the little mermaid)
incredible man！ YOU DID A WONDERFUL JOB!
Id like to name one of the bass left with a Q. Called 'Quids in' as im from england, and here we call a pound a 'Quid'. Love watching y'all. Regards, Benny (from Manchester, England.). 🙏
Wish to have one like this..very beautiful
Really enjoy watching the progress of the pond
You were the first channel I have subscribed to. Your videos are very comforting and interesting. I think you should name a bass "Quincy." Thank you for making this series and documenting the whole process.
I can't wait till you build an underwater house! 😊
Please do a cost breakdown for you projects, can’t wait to hear the numbers!
Your creating a pond like we are living in, I hope you are proud of your self !!
for some weird reason i think Jester would be a great name for one of the big shrimp, love the channel👍 keep up the hard work
P should be peanut. Loving the videos and the progress has turned out great! Makes me wanna buy my own land and do all this crazy stuff with it.
I am new to this series and have enjoyed catching up and am looking forward to new videos! I think a great name for the big male prawn would be Popeye.
Great example on how to simplify reclaim nature and have fun doing it There is no substitute for the real thing but this is as close to heaven on earth as it gets.
Stay Cool 😎
Build a shiner/shad breeder pond
Been watching bama since I was 14 I am now 20years old Bonnie and Clyde started it all crazy how this channel used to be all about them only the OGs know about TANK TUESDAY plz bring tank Tuesday back for the og subscribers!!!❤️🖤👊
love the videos I love the fact that I feel less stress just watching your channel thank you
I really like Isurus as a name. It’s the scientific name for mako sharks. I think the name of a fast aggressive feeding shark matches these bass well.
The prawns would be a good way to help keep the pond clean. I know ppl use fresh water shrimp for décor and algae eaters in Aquariums.
Didn't expect watching these videos is so much fun haha! I love watching them and the wildlife clips are amazing! Thinking about add a "Moneypenny" to the bass list😁
Thank you for sharing!
Fish name: Pesca :) I am really loving this series. I can't believe it has taken me this long to watch this video - been a crazy busy week.
Love the progress on the pond. Here are a few fish names. Quality, Polar, Ulrich, Indy.
My wife family breeds these in Thailand 🇹🇭 they grow twice the size as these fellows and omg they tast so so good 👍 , oh yeah Aussie here mate love ya vlogs . 🇦🇺
these videos are great i just discovered and hope i don't burn through them all! on a small bark yard pond is it hard to keep water "clear" want to build one for the kids was thinking of using a premade liner from lowes or home depot eventually would put some small brim in it assuming i know what chemicals etc. it requires to do so correctly.
Love the whole series! Fish name suggestion: Icarus
Awesome!! The fish are getting bigger!
Awesome same type of prawn we have here in Hawaii best tasting thing comin out of that pond🤙🤙🤙
I love this series- I've been watching it since you started the pond. Love every episode. Don't know where your name the bass list lives, but suggestions, if you have any spots left: O for Ophelia, P for Penelope, T for Tatiana, R for Rhonda. The line of oaks is an amazing addition, btw.
I have a aquarium with 30 shrimps with different colour variatons; Sky blue, black, yellow, transparent, red, brown. Shrimps for life!
Hello, I saw a blank space near the P. I would like to name that one Porky if it’s still available. I think it will be the first to reach 5lbs. 😀😃😀
I've been following your pond for a while now, love to see the progress. From the beginning I've thought it might work great to have a couple Bald Cypress trees planted near the bank. Here in Texas they grow along rivers, ponds, and swamps. But I know it's similar in other parts of the south as well. They love water and it seems like near the banks of your pond would be potentially good spots. They're very attractive trees, iconic of the south as are our Southern LIve oaks. Let me know if you decide to try a few Bald Cypresses, I bet they can work great even if they aren't native in your specific part of Alabama.
Awesome. Just awesome.
Mfw you control the Bass Pond matrix, you built a fisherman's heaven
Here's some cute Shrimp and fish names. Eloy, Jafet, Lufti, Kady.I love your series bro 🤗
