absolutely incredible what you've created! loved watching this from the start ❤

Hey youtube!

Wow

Hey YouTube

Even YouTube likes fish.

You doing something right if YouTube comments

It’s so nice to see all those animals living in unison with each other. it shows that the pond did not destroy the environment but rather enhanced it.

Definitely a Wildlife Refuge. Nice job BamaBass.

I just discovered your channel today and I’m hooked. As a hobbyist wildlife photographer, I find it fascinating seeing the various wildlife you get coming by. Makes me want a 5 acre pond of my own. 😂

I lived on a 50 acre lake for 19 years and one of the most relaxing things was to come home from work and sit on the back deck with an adult beverage and just watch the wildlife on and around the lake and let the stress of the day melt away. You are a lucky man.

This pond build series has been therapeutic for me. Since June of last year, I’ve been going thru some things and this has helped me. I wish they were longer.

Stay strong internet stranger.

You didn't just build a pond, you built a wildlife sanctuary!

Thank you

Theador Rossavelt is very pleased with this Guy

@Protip - That is the truth!

That's exactly what it is! 😂😂

Such a great series. I’ve never even gone fishing and I look forward to every episode. Hope you never stop . We need continual updates forever .

Can we get a couple hours of pod footage with the natural sounds it’s pretty relaxing

You not only gave pleasure to yourself and family by building that beautiful pond, you also created a Disney World for all of those beautiful animals, fish, birds, e.t.c.,e.t.c.........Great job my man.............

It's strange, although the videos are about 18 minutes long, it seems like they only last 3 minutes. So much good quality content. Thanks you guys!

I feel that this is a huge monetary investment. As a viewer, I appreciate that you are so invested in your pond. It gives us all such joy. We appreciate true nature as we wait for your updates.

I love this series so much. As an animal lover this is inspiring.

My favorite thing above all with this channel is his appreciation of all wildlife even the predators absolutely love it

Like so many others have said, what started as a passing interest has morphed into a subscription and eagerness to see the next episode. What you've done - and how you present it - is a captivating, refreshing escape from our daily lives. We've even bought into the named animals! How did you do that....well regardless, thanks again. It almost approaches meditation level of relaxation. It's so good to see that ecosystem in action - very therapeutic. Reminds us how simple life can be, and maybe what our place is amongst it all.

This truly has been my favorite series to hit youtube EVER! I am elated every time I open up youtube on a Sunday and get to watch the next installment of the 5 acre pond. Thank you for sharing!

What an awesome piece of land you have! Great job on the pond. All of your videos are very informative and relaxing. Keep up the good work.

What a fantastic idea this was to air. This series/ channel appeals to everyone from young kids to adults

You mean is a family youtube video

@martelledg I mean it appeals to all walks of life ... its something even language wouldn't play a factor simply just watching express and sends a take or prospective in its self

@martelledg way to correct someone who’s just trying to compliment the channel.

It is. I'm hopin he goes back to filming twice a week with Tank Tuesdays but I don't think it's gonna happen. Before it was just the 300 gallon and the 55. Well he's got the backyard pond the farm and now the 75 I just don't see him having anytime to do it but who knows. Might see um air it again soon 😎

equivalent of that a nature documentary

The pond created a super versatile ecoparadise for many species. It feels like you watched nature evolve in fast forward.

Its always a pleasure to watch, never miss your updates, well done and thank you for sharing in detail nature as it is on your Pond .

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Your entire video series is amazing

Been watching since the beginning. Process is nothing short of amazing..so happy the past two weeks you have been trending top 25 on youtube..that is great..well deserved

It’s amazing how much wildlife you have in the area and how well you and your family take such great care of them! Hat’s off to you!

This guy is a inspiration. I admire this guy's work. Great job bro.

Yeah if you got that cash

@Chris Oppor it's called work like this guy did. No reason to hate. He put his self in a position to afford this. If you want nice things go after it. Million ways to make a million dollars . Dream big my friend.

@Brandon Ferguson I think he was just saying that anyone can be inspirational if they have enough money. I am poor myself, but I'm content to be that way. I just enjoy watching people who have more doing the awesome stuff I'll never get to.

It would be cool to plant some trees around the pond and see the variety of birds it brings in.

you really created a fantastic mini-ecosystem with that pond, simply awesome

It's amazing to know there is still peace and quiet in this country... I envy this... I'd love to be around nothing

We started out next to a bunch of cows and hay. Was very peaceful. Now it's fracking rigs, noise, traffic, trash,and noxious smells... the land owners that make the money off the shite don't even live out here

Far more quiet than there is noisy. Not even close.

Best pond series video thus far ! The wildlife and the rain storm was very cool . keep up the awesome work and videos!

I just love this entire series. God bless you! You have made a oasis for all animals in the area. Thank you

it’s been so fun watching the pond getting better and better

It's so nice to see all the wild live colonizing the pond area !

This is the best series on YouTube ever, and that's not an overstatement in the slightest.

Those bass were just two inches long only two and half months ago and now look at the size of them. Amazing growth.

Been watching this channel since 2019, it’s awesome watching how much it’s grown. Amazing work y’all.

Dude i cant say how much i love watching your channel. I'm not even into bass fishing, but i saw your backyard pond build and I've been tuning in ever since.

Love that I've been a part of this community to watch Sarah's entire life so far. She's gotten so big. She's going to be winning tournaments before too long.

Thank you for the hard work you put into your videos. We truly appreciate it.

What an awesome project and legacy for your family and friends. 👍🏻👍🏻

I finally got caught up on the full pond build and all I can say is it was an absolute pleasure to watch! Loved every episode and seeing the pond take shape from a small peanut farm to what it is today! Also if you still need names for the bass list, I think Icarus may be a great addition! The bass who flew too close to the sun (the lure). Keep up the great content and can’t wait to see all the future projects you have planned!

What a amazing time at the pond, so much wildlife around. The part with the time lapse was great, that Thunderstorm was fantastic to watch, loved it and the sounds from around the pond. Just keeps getting better, and I can't wait to see some big bass being pulled out of there and then returned. Thank you for the video, enjoyed it as always.

It won't be long before you start reaping the rewards of your labour. Those bass are getting bigger very quickly. Amazing wildlife sanctuary this is becoming.

Bama pond videos are a sunday ritual at this point! I look forward to it every week!

Every other week

@Asmodeus sometimes its every week :D

@Aaron Nope, you’re wrong. It’s always been every other week, I’ve been watching from day one.

@Aaron No it’s not, never has been

At times thru the build process there were weekly videos.

Thanks for sharing your video. So cool to watch the pond’s progress over the past year.

it's so amazing how to urged nature to show just how lush it can become. fantastic journey i've been on with this build and it has truly gone far beyond what i thought possible. i want it.

Really fun video this week. I love the idea of the mangroves, but my guess is that you’ll be re-thinking and re-engineering that situation. You’d almost need another island/mini-marsh to keep them happy. I do so enjoy the pleasure your family takes in interacting with nature. So far, so good, but I wonder if you will eventually have issues with the deer population surging beyond sustainability and into something that is problematic—especially since your coyotes seem content to chow mice and bugs.

I again suggest floating islands which serve as wetlands you can move around. Add solar panels so you can pump water up from some depth and water the plants with it so as to clean out fish waste. Drop down an aeration hose and stone to put air into the water and circulate it some. Put a lot of fine structure under it so small fish and fry can hide. You could put a small feeder on it. Make reasonably large, maybe 8 by 12 feet so fish can hide from Blue Herons under it. Maybe put a hole in the middle and have some water hyacinth, just so you can contain it (it can spread very quickly and become a pest).

Great to see progress of pond. Never get tired of night shots...cool seeing storm and lightning pics. Almost want a chair and beer for night seating and coffee for mornings.

This series makes any Nat Geo nature channel look weak!! I love these videos!!

It's been great fun following your adventures.

This is such wholesome and down-to-earth content during a time when bad attitudes, bad news, and pessimism is the norm. Keep up the great work!

I love the trees in the pond. I love to see the wildlife benefit from this project

Your weekly night lapse shots are fantastic! Really enjoy watching the moon lapse then sunrise. It looks amazing over the pond on a clear night. Storms, stars & planes make it even better 🤩

Love watching your videos every Sunday. This one especially good to me. I really enjoy the wildlife.

Time flies so quick feels like the last video was about digging and hauling dirt but man this pond looks great it’s like u have ur own wildlife reserve but keep It up!💯

This is absolutely one of the best series to watch I can't for the updates. I still feel like Rampage is a good name for one of the bass...

Just like kayak fishing, or boating...Your pond is most definitely an ADDICTION! I'm completely enjoying these videos (I'm addicted).

You are the perfect example of a family man and just a great human being keep the good work more exciting than national geographic itself

Put the Cyprus trees in a porcelain claw foot bath tube. With a strong wire mesh over the top of the bath tube to contain all the trees soil. :) You rock! I love your content.

Bama, I look so forward to your videos, thank you for sharing them. To have watched your channel go from a backyard pond to your backyard wildlife sanctuary has been an absolute treat. You have a subscriber for life. Please keep ‘em coming. Best wishes to you & your family, loads of love from Texas!!! 🥰🥰🥰

The amount of wildlife youve created by building a pond is incredible

I can’t get enough of these pond/wildlife videos. I gotta say I’m not one to get jealous but man lol you’ve got an amazing place there. My son and I love to fish and watch wildlife. I’m not sure if we’d ever get enough sleep if we had something like that lol.

In that area its pretty apparent that the coyotes rarely attack adult deer so you probably have a healthy adult deer population and the coyotes rarely include adult deer on the menu. Probably are limited to fawns in that area. If this is the case then coyotes probably don't affect the deer population much at all. Very interesting videos and commentary!

I think I say this in every video, but I’m so freaking jealous! You’re doing it right with the pond. Only difference is through some apex predators in there like musky. Maybe a few tigers so they can’t reproduce.

I'm impressed that you manage to care for so many animals!

Amazing overnight time lapse, we appreciate your effort and thank you for sharing.

Blows my mind what this peice of land has turned into its amazing 👏

I’ve been following and watching since the backyard pond built!! This Pond Built Here Though Is Definitely Unique Can’t Wait To See The Outcome Within The Next Five Years!!!

Moby seems to have outgrown his aquarium.. Looking forward for his freedom into the backyard pond

Excellent content and presentation! I love this series!

This is an amazing build and growth of an ecological system , and it just gets better and better . Love your family .Thank you so much for sharing.

This is freaking awesome!!!Love the dedication you put into this series!!!

This is by far the best pond build ever you did an amazing job

Arguably so 😎

I've been watching this since the dirt work. That pond is a piece of paradise. I can't wait to see where it's at in 5-7 yrs. Where do I buy tickets?? amazing work!!!

It's really come together well. It's turning into it own ecosystem.

I just love the overnight time lapse, the lightning, and the wildlife videos!! You make excellent vids. I am super impressed!

The wildlife around your pond is very impressive. David Attenborough would love it there !

Your mention and showing of the Toe-Dangler brought back an old memory. I accidently cast a lure over a limb one time and while immediately retrieving to recast, it got about 1 to 1.5 feet out of the water and about a 3/4 pound bass jumped out of the water and got it. This was in 1974 in about a 15 acre farm pond built by the government (CCC I think) during the depression near Oxford, Mississippi. I was amazed. I was 26, attending Ol' Miss, at the time and had been bass fishing since I was a toddler and had never seen a bass jump that high for a lure.

These need to be a half hour long video soon with all the footage you collect! I really enjoyed the new segment w/music and all. Good job and ill continue to watch each new video. Keep up the great work and great parenting!! 👍

30m, absolutely - I second that emotion!

Awesome idea

One of the only channels where I would want to watch 30min+ videos

i'm so addicted to this series. Would love one day to be able to build a similar pond and attract wildlife :) Greetings from Italy

I really hope I can build something like this in my home state some day! Nice job getting the different wildlife to settle in!

This is unbelievable watching this happen every video that you put out Can't wait to see what's next🙏🏻👍🏡🇺🇸

thank you for the vids man, born and taised in LA, i’m 23, doin the whole college/full time work, I watch these after work almost in the middle of the night and damn they help me decompress from the day, I wish to have a property this beautiful someday, not somewhere in this crap city, you’ve done an amazing job boss!

DELIGHTFUL ! - No other way to describe "Building a 5 Acre Pond" than DELIGHTFUL. Somehow you manage to whisk away all the stress and problems we face on a daily basis as we, the viewers get caught up in your nature's ongoing wonderland. You're appreciated far more than you'll ever know! It makes little difference how big a home you have, how nice a car you drive, or how much money you make. What really matters is how important you are in the lives of others and other living things. You’re doing very well, indeed!

Another awesome video! I've been watching since the backyard pond build. I think your better off planting those trees in a coconut planter or similar type planter / pot that allows the roots to grow through the the walls and bottom. Once the tress establish their roots into the lake bottom the pot and soil in it are honestly pointless.

Love this series! I’m a nature lover and man this is quality footage !

It’s amazing how you just built this lake and within a matter of less than a year it’s turned into this whole huge ecosystem

All the way from the uk I absolutely love what you have done . As a carp fisherman I'd love to fish a lake like this you put a lot of fishery's to shame that's four sure. I love seeing owl Capone , and I was wondering what happened to peppie la puw. And seeing your little lady catching blue gill just awesome stuff . Big love from the UK big up Cee-Jay 🎣🎣🎣

I look forward to your videos/updates! I live and have grown up in Southern CA so all of this is foreign to me, but it is fascinating! I want my own pond from watching these videos! Please keep up the great work!

I started watching before when you just had the backyard pond. It's amazing how you built a pond and created a wildlife wonderland. Can't wait to one of these foggy southern mornings when you do some topwater frog fishing. The new bass in the tank looks like it ready to eat baby frogs.

Oh I don't have any social. I just watch YouTube video. But, I've been fascinated by your videos. I'm an Air Force Veteran Firefighter who loves fishing and fishing content.

I get excited whenever I see a new Crimson Pond video notification. I love this series! Awesome stuff! Can't wait till the next one. 👍🏾

The footage of the thunderstorm is incredible, it looks like a fire in the sky!

I love seeing all the wildlife shots. As the bass get bigger, you may need to keep the ducks in their coup until the ducklings get big enough that the bass won't eat them.

Love that time lapse night sound. So peaceful, nothing non-natural.

This is such a great series, thank you for sharing it with us

Loving the series, I just remembered the (iris?) plants that were put into plastic bins near the shallows. Did they end up turning out?

I'm so in love with Your Oak and Animal sanctuary. It's coming along just beautifully. ❤👍

Sounds of nature are amazing!

This is what we call quality content.

Such a wholesome quality program… it’s cool you know your neighbors so well
