I just noticed that you crossed a million subscribers, wonderful! You might consider planting sorghum sudangrass on the back side of the pond. No tap roots, just fine fibrous roots, and it'd grow tall enough to shade out any little trees that might be trying to establish.

I have commented a few times, thought that all the names were filled up, but the name Cranky for one of the fish in the 5 acre pond would make my day. Been watching since the Bonnie and Clyde days. Thank you for the years of great content and entertainment.
Maybe see if any local universities or wildlife orgs have amphibian reintroduction/conservation programs. It'd be cool to use the pond to help with those efforts. Would be some neat species to observe too.
Imagine a stream with mud puppies! Or even hellbenders! I think that there's been talk of wanting to make another larger stream system, that could be perfect for their conservation. They were released into the wild as part of conservation programs for the first time in Kentucky in 2022, but have pretty much disappeared from Alabama. This could be the perfect place to help kickstart their return, since a managed, watched over stream where they could mature to larger sizes before maybe being relocated to other sites in the wild? That would be a dream to see this channel helping restore such a wonderful species, and the largest amphibian in all of north America. They're such adorable goofy lookin fellas.
"3"!!! YEARS!!! How is that possible??!!! Seems like just a few months ago it was nothing but a peanut field! It is AMAZING what you have accomplished. What a diverse ecosystem you have built. Thank you so much for sharing it with us! ❤❤❤
Always amazed me how different fish species can appear in a pond from migratory birds…would be fun to have a contest when the first catfish is caught and prove that…love your pond and videos!
It is interesting. My friends retired to a farm near Niagara Falls, Canada. They built a pond and didn't introduce any fish at all. It took one season for panfish to show up.
Agreed. I live on the waterfront in downtown Toronto, on lake Ontario. There's a series of buildings that installed floating platforms (maybe a meter wide) that were planted with grasses, and it's crazy how many animals crawl up on them. It's almost strange to be surrounded by skyscrapers, look down beside a major street and see a mix of ducks, swans and even turtles hanging out on those little floating islands. I even saw a beaver on one of them once!
part of me wishes he'd put some of those lillies over in the five acre but probably harder to monitor with it being much bigger than Cedar Falls. more floating features and more structure. I always felt like he could use more stuff underneath. he's got a few good spots in there but only a handful ... in a five acre pond I feel like there should be more. would love to see some of those aqua blue stones make their way over. loved the tunnels he put in there but he's got cinderblocks in the two center columns. (out of six) that only leaves them four tunnels to swim uninterrupted. if they're trying to get away from birds would be nice to have those other two or perhaps a second pyramid. over even a rock pile with passable hideouts kinda like how Ed's got it over in Cedar Falls. if you look at the unfilled shots he's got all kinds of space. I think it could a little more structure!! ☺️Lol. 😊
@@PurpleDrac I agree, a few large, dead fallen trees. Some in the medium and some in the deep water, Birds could perch on, fish can shelter under the limbs and trunks.
You need gizzard shad. Gizzard shad are the best forage for bass. Gizzards will reproduce enough to not have to be stocked again and they’ll get over 2 pounds. When a 4+ pound bass eats a 1-2 pound gizzard shad it’ll make them grow extremely fast.
I've randomly come across your page in the last few years. I really appreciate how educational these are not only on pond building but the environmental side. You truly provided an ecosystem and I love it 😮❤🤙 The bald eagle is one of my favorite creatures on Earth. Incredible you have a new family. Keep up the great work
@@Sam-in7ue edging off the bass population was the point of the fish he just added,if they don’t work a smaller bass wouldn’t be a bad idea especially since the tiger bass would still be eating the perch or rock bass anyway, some of the bass in that pond are 4 pounds, a 1-2lb perch or rock bass would help keep the smaller tiger bass in check from taking over the pond while the bigger 4 pounders will eat them and pack on pounds before winter. If he’s going for record bass then he should consider it when he knows the pond has a healthy population of 4-6 pounders already
Damn perch can be confused over different country 😂😂 I though yellow perch might mean golden perch because golden perch native to Australia some of us call yellow belly and then I looked it up and it looks nearly exactly like a European perch which we call Redfin in Australia
It's crazy how I look forward to those post every couple of weeks like a TV series 😂 my wife laughs that I watch this because this is Way outside of something I watch or do😂
Perhaps check to see if there are any amphibian conservation or reintroduction projects at nearby universities or wildlife organizations. Using the pond to support those activities would be awesome. There would be some interesting animals to see as well.
Man, time flies, I have seen every video from the pond build since day one and it feels like you just started yesterday. I didn't know so names were left open. My name suggestion for the letter U would be Ulysses named after famous civil war general and American president Ulysess S. Grant.
Reminded me of when I unloaded about 4 dozen finger mullet into a mostly freshwater canal section - they schooled up into a several groups which were jumping away from insane bass top water action in all directions until whatever was left got out of view
They won't do well there's a reason you don't find yellow perch down south. The only place i have seen them in the south is the white river in Arkansas and that is trout water. Yellow perch, small mouth and pike don't do well in hot waters.
@otiswilliams7266 sure and i have small mouth in my state but only in specific bodies of water. Overall if I chucked them into a pond they couldn't survive in my area.
Man, I'd love to see how Moby is doing. The day you catch him, please install some sort of tracker on him so we can know his exact location at any given time.
This content. Is just magical. I've been a subscribers for long time. And the enjoyment and sense of well-being I gain from never ceases to amaze. I absolutely adore this channel. Much respect from Ireland Bama bass.👌👏👏💯❤
Yellow perch would be cool to see. Also adding a smallmouth to the smash pond could result in a hybrid meanmouth bass. It would also be awesome to see more of a predator fish in the small pond. Not something that will really mess with the adult bass or bigger bluegill... but something like a channel catfish, chain pickerel, bowfin, smaller species of gar, striped bass, hybrid striped bass. I'll lock in a chain pickerel as my vote as they don't get too big and they're a beautiful fish.
Let the crows see you leave some sliced peanuts for them a few times and they will leave gifts for you when they want more - things they find that are small and shiny or maybe just a rock. But they are leaving gifts for more peanuts.
Good luck I'll be here to learn as you do! Thank you for your videos I've learned a ton from ur videos and ur wildlife around the house is so amazing it's like every out door boys dream
Love to hear you bring back the hatchery! Can’t wait to see what you put in it, I’m sure whatever it is the bass will love and hoping something makes a home in the eagle tower!!
those mainly eat crawfish and other bottom dwellers. perhaps he could do a separate feeding for them but before I delve too deep into that suppose they could live off some of the baitfish that's in the pond. but that would mean hunting near the surface and the shoreline .. I think another rock structure in there somewhere for them to hide in would be kinda neat. he didn't have too much in there before filling it up with water. I would've put some seagrass at the bottom from what I've gathered they don't root too far down from their surfacing level. about to two to four inches that clay blanket he's got is pretty thick and would sustain it. as for more structures, suppose he could always sink another stone cave composed of aqua bluestones and the likes if he was to ever introduce it. I would definitely do a separate rock pile for it to hide in. 😎
as for the specifics to what kinda seagrass. Bama again (if you're in the comments) some shoal grass, widgeon or manatee grass roots don't grow to be very large not sure if even a few inches is enough to pose a significant threat to the clay liner but hey it's the thought 👍🏽that counts! ✌🏽😉 😎
those tend to do better with their native inhabitants but adding one to a large mouth population might not be so bad considering it's mostly bass that's in the pond. I was thinkin perhaps another channel cat again (native species) like shadow but a red tail don't sound too bad. if he gets one I think it should go over in Cedar Falls where there's tropical lillies to give it that at home feel.
@@saxophonerman1239 that's the scary part and they grow quick! if it's got a wide enough mouth it will dwarf the bass. but I've seen them coexist with 🦚peacocks again (native species) to what would be the guest from the Amazon river basin .. but those are peacocks. 😐
Of course a fish from the same habitat is gonna know how to keep clear of a red tail but a largemouth not so sure. they're about equally as aggresive as the peacock you would think there wouldn't be any issues (there shouldn't be) Catch 'Em All Zack has some with his largemouths and seem to get along well but that's an enclosure under constant supervision. a pond we're given it a little more freedom to do whatever and can't say bass are off entirely off limits again. if it's got a wide enough mouth it'll try to eat them most certainly.
yeah I tried to get him to do some white suckers /chubs back when he had Moby in the 300 gallon but must say I'm equally pleased with the large shiner group that he has brought in. the top water blowup(s) was about the same exact reason I had suggested the white suckers. bass go crazy for 🤯those things! 😂😄 I've seen bass knock aquarium lids off their home aquariums for larger forage fish like that. Needless to say we're getting a pretty good dose of that in today's video. 😎 yes they will leap out of water for the larger forage fish. If I had to guess they're low percentage breeding might've been the reason he went with this particular group. white suckers on the other hand have been known to grow to some pretty impressive sizes and too large for the bass to eat. They even have videos of those on here type in the search bar whites sucker videos and you're sure to come across some of them. I mean tank sized forage fish. I wanted to feed it to a goliath grouper when I saw it. That's how massive they were! 💀💧
hell yeah. it's become one of my favorite features! I do think he should put some shrubbery on the camera to give some cover (they painted) and it blends really nice with the perch but couldn't help but think some added 🌳bush might do it some good.
ID LOVE TO NAME A BASS! I’ve been a fan of yours for years man since I was a kid! C could be conqueror! Or captain insano from waterboy lol hope u like one of those!
My beautiful GSP, Ginger, recently passed, Her favorite channel to watch was BamaBass. Many hours we spent watching episodes over and over, Until the day I had to hold her over my shoulder. I spend days now thinking of our history together, No matter the day, the night, the weather. Everytime I get a notification from your channel, Love and gratitude fill my heart to the ultimate level. BamaBass, Thank you for the Entertainment and Memories. --The Late Great Beautiful Ginger Alexandra Reinen and Joshua-
Sorry for your loss. My wife and I are retired, and we also love watching these BamaBass pond clips. Cleaner for our spirits than the sex and violence in current programming!
Two of my favs 🏆right there! 😎 both natives of Wisconsin where he goes for the gorgeous world famous aqua blue stone. adding either of these would be big homage to the north 💯💯
Have you thought about adding some Hybrid Striped Bass? I did that in my pond earlier this year, and my kids have loved catching them! Stocked them at 5-6" about 7 months ago, and they are already about 12" long!
For the Bass Names could u name one Bananas for B or Crazy for C. I like Daisy the duck for the unnamed ducks name. Love your videos man! It’s awesome to watch the growth of all the different animals
Love the videos. Seems we are always learning something different in each video which is amazing. I definitely think the elusive peacock bass would be a cool addition to cedar falls
Bass names: Ala-Basster Sebasstian Bach BASSnectar Bassket Case The AmBassedor Thanks for all the great videos, BamaBass! My husband and I look forward each week to the updates, especiallly the wildlife cams!
One particular species of fish my children and I enjoy fishing for is perch. You mentioned adding another to the pond. Try adding some jumbo yellow perch. The kids should enjoy bobber fishing for that.
Here in the netherlands we started sowing native herbs and flowers to strengthen our dikes. Their wide variety of root length creates a solid blanket that keeps the soil in place and out compete trees and other unwanted bushes that need more time to develop deep roots and on top of that it helps the diversity of insects and it should decrease the amount of maintenance you currently have maintaining the pond dikes
Hello from South Africa. My partner and I just love watching your videos. According to us you are living the DREAM! I always say "If I win the Lotto, the first thing I do is go visit at BAMABASS. Thank you for sharing the dream with us. Always in our prayers. Merry Chirstmas.
I've been following along on this channel for years now. I think The TERMINATOR would be a great name. Or T1000!!I love getting notifications that you have posted a new video.
Good idea about keeping that feeder active. And same goes for all your equipment. As fare as the electronics is concerned any equipment with electrolytics needs to remain powered. Else the plates of the caps will collapse and short. I have two 1980 power amps that have never been off except for power failures and they still work just fine.(44 years) Except for the pots which needs a cleaning every decade. If you put working gear up for 5 years it is likely to not work (or humm real bad) when you next power it up and you will have to dig through it to replace the caps.
Wow, so much fun. Priscilla for ducky. Blast, Edison, Ingrid for fish name. I can't express how much I enjoy your channel. My eye sight has been diminishing for several years now. Just to hear the sounds and your narration is so comforting and enjoyable, thank you.
A - ANCHOR B - BEAUTY C - CHASTEEN E - EXOTIC I - INDAGO N - NATALIA U - ULYSSES X - XAKERY Y - YAMAHA Maybe one or two of these will work. Keep up the amazing work!!!!!
"Nugget" for a bass name would be neat. Fiancée and I love to watch the updates on these ponds! I'm personally really interested in ur bait nursery project.
If you’re looking for alternative shrubs that are erosion-resistant and less likely to “seek water,” here are some great options: 1. Aronia arbutifolia (Red Chokeberry): A native shrub with shallow, fibrous roots that stabilize soil without aggressively seeking water. It’s drought-tolerant and produces beautiful red berries that attract wildlife. 2. Vaccinium darrowii (Darrow’s Blueberry): This compact native shrub has non-invasive roots, thrives in clay soils, and helps with slope stabilization. Plus, it produces edible blueberries and looks great year-round. 3. Callicarpa americana (American Beautyberry): Shallow, non-invasive roots make it safe for pond dams. It’s drought-tolerant and adds visual appeal with vibrant purple berries that feed birds. 4. Symphoricarpos orbiculatus (Coralberry): A native shrub with shallow, fibrous roots perfect for erosion control. It’s great for stabilizing soil and produces attractive red berries. 5. Rhus aromatica (Fragrant Sumac): This tough, low-growing shrub has a wide, fibrous root system ideal for erosion control without threatening the dam. It also offers fragrant foliage and stunning fall colors. These shrubs are native or well-adapted to Alabama and are safe choices for stabilizing a pond dam without risking the integrity of the structure!
22:15 BASS NAME: Meezy (fishing was the favorite hobby of my childhood best friend who recently passed away so i know he would get a kick out of a fish with his name that could be caught and bring joy to people like fishing did for us.) Love 5 Acre Pond videos!

So satisfying to see the duck come back. You should name her Echo.
thats a good one
I like it!
Me too!
Awesome to see the duck come back, named her Daisy
I looked up synonyms for sleepy or tired to find a name but didn't find anything good. Echo is a really good one if u ask me. 🤙
I just noticed that you crossed a million subscribers, wonderful!
You might consider planting sorghum sudangrass on the back side of the pond. No tap roots, just fine fibrous roots, and it'd grow tall enough to shade out any little trees that might be trying to establish.
Very nice idea 🎉🎉
That would definitely bring in more deer spottings too. It’s highly attractive to them ❤
🎉🎉🎉
Literally just checked to see if a new video was up, and here it is. Love the content!

He ignores a lot of good name suggestions.
Maybe see if any local universities or wildlife orgs have amphibian reintroduction/conservation programs. It'd be cool to use the pond to help with those efforts. Would be some neat species to observe too.
Seconded!!
Yes!
what kind of amphibians?
@@anthonygrande7153 I'd leave that to the local experts I guess. Native ones that would have a chance of succeeding.
Imagine a stream with mud puppies! Or even hellbenders! I think that there's been talk of wanting to make another larger stream system, that could be perfect for their conservation.
They were released into the wild as part of conservation programs for the first time in Kentucky in 2022, but have pretty much disappeared from Alabama. This could be the perfect place to help kickstart their return, since a managed, watched over stream where they could mature to larger sizes before maybe being relocated to other sites in the wild?

"3"!!! YEARS!!! How is that possible??!!! Seems like just a few months ago it was nothing but a peanut field! It is AMAZING what you have accomplished. What a diverse ecosystem you have built. Thank you so much for sharing it with us! ❤❤❤
Maybe some Rock Bass could be added to Cedar Falls? Not sure how big they can get, but they have these really awesome red colored eyes!
That would be cool. Or maybe a Coosa bass, or one of the other Alabama red eyes. I think there are 5 of them.
I love this idea! Rock Bass are sooo pretty, and they're feisty little buggers!
Always amazed me how different fish species can appear in a pond from migratory birds…would be fun to have a contest when the first catfish is caught and prove that…love your pond and videos!
It is interesting. My friends retired to a farm near Niagara Falls, Canada. They built a pond and didn't introduce any fish at all. It took one season for panfish to show up.
Seeing the duck on the volcano pump makes me think that some floating features in the pond would be a good idea.
Floating logs and tree trunks.
Agreed. I live on the waterfront in downtown Toronto, on lake Ontario. There's a series of buildings that installed floating platforms (maybe a meter wide) that were planted with grasses, and it's crazy how many animals crawl up on them. It's almost strange to be surrounded by skyscrapers, look down beside a major street and see a mix of ducks, swans and even turtles hanging out on those little floating islands. I even saw a beaver on one of them once!

Maybe some yellow perch for the pond. Could be another food source since they breed quickly. Or rock bass

both are really bad for bass population since they compete for the same food sources

Name idea for the Duck, Helen for Mount St. Helens because she sits on the volcano pump.
Clever
only if it goes off under her if not "Echo" is the next runner up
No
I love it
I like this and echo
That stretch up where the runoff comes down toward the pond seems like a good place for a row of apple trees.
You’re super talented, keep creating stuff like this!
Yellow Perch might fit into your pond ecosystem quite well. And they can be pretty on the camera.
yes please
They won't do well there's a reason you don't find yellow perch down south. The only place i have seen them in the south is the white river in Arkansas and that is trout water. Yellow perch, small mouth and pike don't do well in hot waters.
@paul-jr4kc yellow perch are in alabama waters. The mobile delta i believe
Wow there’s another comment exactly like this one with a generic looking profile name as well 🤔 OP you should delete these upvote farming bot comments
@otiswilliams7266 sure and i have small mouth in my state but only in specific bodies of water. Overall if I chucked them into a pond they couldn't survive in my area.
Oh wow! You're growing Sarracenia in the pond at the waterfall. That's my passion so it's really great to see them in your setup!
Daisy the duck pleaseee!!!
Yes, and if a male shows up, it could be Donald. I'm glad she came back. Hopefully, that means she wants to raise young. We'll see. 😉😊
I said the same about Daisy
I dont think anyone could come up with a better name...
Yes! Daisy is a beautiful name for her.
How about Quackatoa? After the volcano she likes hanging around? lol
Quack tuah?
I chuckled 😂
Love that name!
Man, I'd love to see how Moby is doing. The day you catch him, please install some sort of tracker on him so we can know his exact location at any given time.
Thankful should be the ducks’ name, come back in November around thanksgiving and is definitely thankful for the life you’ve given it.

I'll lock in a chain pickerel as my vote as they don't get too big and they're a beautiful fish.
interestingly the shiners at like 10 inches works well for alligator gar
I was thinking the same thing
Let the crows see you leave some sliced peanuts for them a few times and they will leave gifts for you when they want more - things they find that are small and shiny or maybe just a rock. But they are leaving gifts for more peanuts.

Are you in the UK? Just curious because of your time comment.
Good luck I'll be here to learn as you do! Thank you for your videos I've learned a ton from ur videos and ur wildlife around the house is so amazing it's like every out door boys dream
If you still have trout lurking in the pond they are going to love those big shiners
I have been wondering if they all are gone or something, not seen in small or 5 acre pond in very long
@@pistolPabloI would guess they didn’t make it through the summer.

An oasis of much needed natural activity in troubled times! Thank you so much!
Love it when you catch them with no Tags.
Name the duck Daisy please. Thank you
Love to hear you bring back the hatchery! Can’t wait to see what you put in it, I’m sure whatever it is the bass will love and hoping something makes a home in the eagle tower!!
Can't wait for that Sunday night Bamabass upload notification! Thanks again for another great video! ❤️❤️
I think you should name the duck Pele after the Hawaiian volcano goddess since she hangs out on the volcano pump.
Definitely do a single small bullhead catfish in the smaller pond!!! He won’t get too big or eat too much bait!
Anyone else have sound skip at 0:41?
Yes
Yes
It’s just a little chop from editing no big deal
Yup
Would love to see 1-2 big sturgeon in this pond!!!
those mainly eat crawfish and other bottom dwellers. perhaps he could do a separate feeding for them but before I delve too deep into that suppose they could live off some of the baitfish that's in the pond. but that would mean hunting near the surface and the shoreline .. I think another rock structure in there somewhere for them to hide in would be kinda neat.
he didn't have too much in there before filling it up with water. I would've put some seagrass at the bottom from what I've gathered they don't root too far down from their surfacing level. about to two to four inches that clay blanket he's got is pretty thick and would sustain it. as for more structures, suppose he could always sink another stone cave composed of aqua bluestones and the likes if he was to ever introduce it.

Hello!
I’ve watched your videos before! I would like to see
the cedar falls pond! I haven’t seen that one,
but it looks beautiful!
How about Daisy for the duck?
Even better... a Redtailed Catfish! They are Beautiful!!!
those tend to do better with their native inhabitants but adding one to a large mouth population might not be so bad considering it's mostly bass that's in the pond. I was thinkin perhaps another channel cat again (native species) like shadow but a red tail don't sound too bad. if he gets one I think it should go over in Cedar Falls where there's tropical lillies to give it that at home feel.
I don’t think the red tails would like the cold that much and they would probably eat a bunch of bass.
@@saxophonerman1239 that's the scary part and they grow quick! if it's got a wide enough mouth it will dwarf the bass. but I've seen them coexist with 🦚peacocks again (native species) to what would be the guest from the Amazon river basin .. but those are peacocks. 😐

The blowups on the shiners is crazy
It's all well and good unless you are a shiner..
yeah I tried to get him to do some white suckers /chubs back when he had Moby in the 300 gallon but must say I'm equally pleased with the large shiner group that he has brought in. the top water blowup(s) was about the same exact reason I had suggested the white suckers. bass go crazy for 🤯those things! 😂😄 I've seen bass knock aquarium lids off their home aquariums for larger forage fish like that. Needless to say we're getting a pretty good dose of that in today's video. 😎
yes they will leap out of water for the larger forage fish. If I had to guess they're low percentage breeding might've been the reason he went with this particular group. white suckers on the other hand have been known to grow to some pretty impressive sizes and too large for the bass to eat.
They even have videos of those on here type in the search bar whites sucker videos and you're sure to come across some of them. I mean tank sized forage fish. I wanted to feed it to a goliath grouper when I saw it. That's how massive they were! 💀💧
I look forward to watching these videos. Peaceful
2:22 there is a reason people use shiners for bait. Personally I would have added more bluegill.
The fastest 27:26 on ytube. THANK YOU!
I love how you made a eagle nest
hell yeah. it's become one of my favorite features! I do think he should put some shrubbery on the camera to give some cover (they painted) and it blends really nice with the perch but couldn't help but think some added 🌳bush might do it some good.
ID LOVE TO NAME A BASS! I’ve been a fan of yours for years man since I was a kid! C could be conqueror! Or captain insano from waterboy lol hope u like one of those!
My beautiful GSP, Ginger, recently passed,
Her favorite channel to watch was BamaBass.
Many hours we spent watching episodes over and over,
Until the day I had to hold her over my shoulder.
I spend days now thinking of our history together,
No matter the day, the night, the weather.
Everytime I get a notification from your channel,
Love and gratitude fill my heart to the ultimate level.
BamaBass, Thank you for the Entertainment and Memories.
--The Late Great Beautiful Ginger Alexandra Reinen and Joshua-
Sorry for your loss. My wife and I are retired, and we also love watching these BamaBass pond clips.
Cleaner for our spirits than the sex and violence in current programming!
Need to add northern pike or tiger muskie
Two of my favs 🏆right there! 😎 both natives of Wisconsin where he goes for the gorgeous world famous aqua blue stone. adding either of these would be big homage to the north 💯💯
Have you thought about adding some Hybrid Striped Bass? I did that in my pond earlier this year, and my kids have loved catching them! Stocked them at 5-6" about 7 months ago, and they are already about 12" long!
One of my fave youtube channel, very educational and high quality videos, thank you! Also will you name one of the bass as MrZog please?
Can wait for smallies! Up here in Canada that’s mostly what we have for bass. I am curious to see how big they grow in a warmer climate.
For the Bass Names could u name one Bananas for B or Crazy for C. I like Daisy the duck for the unnamed ducks name. Love your videos man! It’s awesome to watch the growth of all the different animals
These sound like a perfect addition and something I'd be interested in for my pond
Love the videos. Seems we are always learning something different in each video which is amazing. I definitely think the elusive peacock bass would be a cool addition to cedar falls
I wish had some of them shiners to cast off the pier here!! Great job your doing love the mower!!
Bass names for those without names:
Bassanova, Catch22, and my favorite, NotoriousB.A.S.S
Bass names:
Ala-Basster
Sebasstian Bach
BASSnectar
Bassket Case
The AmBassedor
Thanks for all the great videos, BamaBass! My husband and I look forward each week to the updates, especiallly the wildlife cams!
One particular species of fish my children and I enjoy fishing for is perch. You mentioned adding another to the pond. Try adding some jumbo yellow perch. The kids should enjoy bobber fishing for that.
In one part of the pond, you should plant reeds, it cleans the water well and is perfect for spawning and growth of young fish.
When you catch them without tags, it's amazing.
Put a bunch of guppies or mollies in the fish tank, they reproduce quickly and can be used to feed the bass
So looking forward to the live feed. I'm subscribed to a few different live eagle cams. They are laying eggs in the Florida nests now.
Here in the netherlands we started sowing native herbs and flowers to strengthen our dikes. Their wide variety of root length creates a solid blanket that keeps the soil in place and out compete trees and other unwanted bushes that need more time to develop deep roots and on top of that it helps the diversity of insects and it should decrease the amount of maintenance you currently have maintaining the pond dikes
Y for Yuki! great videos been following from the beginning!
Hello from South Africa. My partner and I just love watching your videos. According to us you are living the DREAM! I always say "If I win the Lotto, the first thing I do is go visit at BAMABASS. Thank you for sharing the dream with us. Always in our prayers. Merry Chirstmas.
Great decision! Hungry fish with huge amount of bait equals bigger fish sandwiches! Can't remember if your pond gets ice over the winter?
Dorothy the Duck because "There's No Place Like Home" ❤ the videos and keep up all the great work! Thank you and have a happy day!
Have you looked into putting Grass Shrimp in the pond? They are a good food source for bluegill. Not many people know about them.
I've been following along on this channel for years now. I think The TERMINATOR would be a great name. Or T1000!!I love getting notifications that you have posted a new video.
I’d think “Boomerang” for the ducks name 😂 always coming back to the pond❤
Good idea about keeping that feeder active. And same goes for all your equipment. As fare as the electronics is concerned any equipment with electrolytics needs to remain powered. Else the plates of the caps will collapse and short. I have two 1980 power amps that have never been off except for power failures and they still work just fine.(44 years) Except for the pots which needs a cleaning every decade.
If you put working gear up for 5 years it is likely to not work (or humm real bad) when you next power it up and you will have to dig through it to replace the caps.
I'm not a fish guy, but I'm a sucker for a diverse ecosystem! We need more people like you creating cultivated safe zones for wildlife.
Wow, so much fun. Priscilla for ducky. Blast, Edison, Ingrid for fish name. I can't express how much I enjoy your channel. My eye sight has been diminishing for several years now. Just to hear the sounds and your narration is so comforting and enjoyable, thank you.
12:41 i am SO jealous of that giant group of pitchers!!!
Love seeing the Epic Blow outs! For Letter “A” name one Alpha 🎉🎉💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
A - ANCHOR
B - BEAUTY
C - CHASTEEN
E - EXOTIC
I - INDAGO
N - NATALIA
U - ULYSSES
X - XAKERY
Y - YAMAHA
Maybe one or two of these will work. Keep up the amazing work!!!!!
Great pond project, pretty amazing
I’d highly recommend getting a circular polarizer for filming fish over the water. It will reduce that glare substantially
Ducks have huge personalities! N for Nosferatu. Love the channel!
If you went heavy on the prawns you could most definitely do Red Drum for the big fight of the pond
"Nugget" for a bass name would be neat. Fiancée and I love to watch the updates on these ponds! I'm personally really interested in ur bait nursery project.
For the letter B - I suggest Baldwin. As a Mobile county native, I watch your channel from Virginia. A little pun in your pond 😊
Remote Grass cutter is absolutely revolutionary and culture killer haha
Love the addition of the new bigger shiners. Can I name a fish?
Ursula for fish name 💜
My 8yo son suggests 'Brightbill', from the movie 'The Wild Robot' for the name of the duck!
If you’re looking for alternative shrubs that are erosion-resistant and less likely to “seek water,” here are some great options:
1. Aronia arbutifolia (Red Chokeberry): A native shrub with shallow, fibrous roots that stabilize soil without aggressively seeking water. It’s drought-tolerant and produces beautiful red berries that attract wildlife.
2. Vaccinium darrowii (Darrow’s Blueberry): This compact native shrub has non-invasive roots, thrives in clay soils, and helps with slope stabilization. Plus, it produces edible blueberries and looks great year-round.
3. Callicarpa americana (American Beautyberry): Shallow, non-invasive roots make it safe for pond dams. It’s drought-tolerant and adds visual appeal with vibrant purple berries that feed birds.
4. Symphoricarpos orbiculatus (Coralberry): A native shrub with shallow, fibrous roots perfect for erosion control. It’s great for stabilizing soil and produces attractive red berries.
5. Rhus aromatica (Fragrant Sumac): This tough, low-growing shrub has a wide, fibrous root system ideal for erosion control without threatening the dam. It also offers fragrant foliage and stunning fall colors.
These shrubs are native or well-adapted to Alabama and are safe choices for stabilizing a pond dam without risking the integrity of the structure!
Avril is the momma duck from the cartoon Tom and Jerry. Would make a great name.
I think it will be a good idea to build a big waterfall somewhere for more water streaming. It will wash away some of that water dust.
I've not seen the pond since it was completed wow it looking great
You should look into yellow perch. Typically found in the north but can be found in Alabama.
22:15 BASS NAME:
Meezy
(fishing was the favorite hobby of my childhood best friend who recently passed away so i know he would get a kick out of a fish with his name that could be caught and bring joy to people like fishing did for us.)
Love 5 Acre Pond videos!
