What Happened to This Trophy Bass Pond?

- This is a sad video because my wife and I found that a pond we liked to fish for trophy bass was recently drained, and the reasoning for it was upsetting. I went on a little rant about it and explained how some fisherman ruin things for the rest of us and get shore spots shut down. This was the pond that my wife caught her PB largemouth bass out of last year and also lost another trophy bass. I linked that video below. I also told the story of some other bad news that ended up being good news!

That really sucks about that pond, but it's awesome that you got your gear back. The pond that I caught my PB was in a suburb and was not posted. I fished there for two months before one of the neighbors came out and told us it was private and that we're not welcomed back. It was a good little pond, not only for bass but for nice size gills for my daughter to catch. There was another nice pond in the same neighborhood that had big bass and was perfect for frog fishing, but that summer we didn't get enough rain, so winter killed off a lot of the fish in there. It's hard finding good places to fish without them being totally private or somebody ruining it for the rest of us.
I’ve caught probably 60-70% of my biggest Largemouth, Crappies, Bluegills, and Pike out ponds. Whether they’re subdivision ponds, farm, or park ponds. A lot of those waters get overlooked and neglected by fisherman, so the fish just keep eating, breeding, and growing. We found a lot of great ponds in apartment complexes and neighborhoods, but usually those places as fishy as they are get heavily posted No Trespassing.
Once in awhile you find a nice homeowner who lets you fish their property if you ask, offer them work on their yards , or a fish fry. But people are less trusting nowadays due to the way of the world basically, and people trashing and vandalizing property.
I’m sad about the church pond, not sure if the guy my wife and I were talking with knew 100% what was gonna happen to the place. I hope if they fill it back in they at least spare the chemicals and let it thrive again. The guy who talked to my wife and me seen us picking up trash a few times so I know he likes us anyways.
But every pond I fish gets hammered on by slobs leaving their trash behind, or they’re filling their buckets full of fish with little regard for the rules or future of the body of water. I need to find more ponds this year cause the rivers been blown up and flooded, we are expecting 1.55” more rain today in my area, it’ll help keep the lakes and shallows thriving that have rivers connected to them, but it’ll only blow the major rivers we like to fish up more!
I’m so sad about my bass pond 😢. I really wanted to go back and fish for that fish I lost because it might have been even bigger than my PB… 😔
I know it really sucks. Hopefully we can find some more ponds with quality sized Bass in it. So many ponds produce numbers , but it’s getting harder and harder to find giant Bass nowadays. Seemed when I was a kid and young adult, catching big ones was a lot easier. But the past decade so many spots declined, even major trophy bass lakes we fish. And now we just lost one more hidden gem sadly!
RIP Bass Pond
I dont know how I feel about this honestly. I pick up other peoples trash at several ponds that I fish just to keep the area clean. For them to drain that pond just get rid of the littering issue.....it mustve been a huge problem. Seems like a drastic move to get rid of a solvable problem...imo. Hate to see those spots go away because it effects all the wildlife in the area.. This is why we cant have nice things......always some moron around to ruin it for everyone. Tight lines you 2🐟🐟🐟
It’s absolutely sad and ridiculous when certain individuals can screw things up for the rest of us. I hope the people running things at the church will have a change of heart, refill the pond, and let it thrive again. But there were days I could’ve filled a couple grocery store sized plastic bags with fishing paraphernalia and cans. You would think outdoorsman would have more respect for nature, but so many slobs fish it’s ridiculous! What can you do though aside from pick up after others and try to do your part? Plenty of places to catch Bass, but it always sucks seeing a good spot destroyed. It was surprising they let people fish there anyways. Hopefully 🤞 they bring the pond back again. Seeing trophy bass and all the wildlife disappear sucks. Good luck fishing. 🎣
