New follower. Appreciate the advice.

Outstanding video. I have shared this. Superbly explained, along with great visuals. I'm sure many will find this helpfull. So many just dont believe me when i advise that cloudy days can have an impact. Much respect. Ty.

Hi, I am in Brazil and have stocked a pond with largemouth. It´s came great, almost 3 years so far. Here we don´t have Blue Gill, but I´m growing Pumpkin Seed to stock the pond. Is it ok/fine as Blue Gill? Any big difference/concern? Thank you.

Great video

Can I raise bait fish to sell $ ? What's the best fish ? Flat heads ? Red minnows

Do you guys have any issues with the trees along the pond? I'm planning a half acre pond about 10-15' off of a tree line for shade and have heard that big trees' roots can punch through the clay lining and create leaks/suck up water...

You can test phosphorus levels at home for next to nothing. If you have a reef tank, a pond is a walk in the park. Everything you monitor in a reef tank carries over to a pond. If you have a pond and you want quality fish, you better be a really good keeper of WATER.

That's fish habitat. Fish structure is drop offs, creek beds steep banks etc...

Music sucks

what if you know you have an abundance of bluegill and bass but they are hard as hell to catch?

do you still have to cut or remove the cattails after?

Absolutely terrific.

Do you start feeding from the time you stock a pond?

Great video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I would like your sheet for length to weight ratio please. How do I get that? Another question. My PB largemouth was 26.25" long. How much should it weigh to be at 100%? I measured length, girth & got weight on this fish. But I'm curious what its weight should be? Thanks

Super interesting. With bass fishing it's become a catch& release sport for the majority. Which could be hurting a lot of fisheries for big bass. What about a scenario in that pond your at now. Say you catch a 6+ pound bass & it's weight to length ratio is way under 100% do you harvest that bass to promote big bass population?

What a dream.

Where do you purchase in TX ?

Fertilize your pond. Lots easier and bigger impact for whole pond health

50 acre pond. Caught 100 fish between 4 anglers. 95% weighed 1.25 lbs. Sounds like we should be harvesting?

Thanks Guys!

Sar yah floating fountain Mujhe chahie I want floating fountain please rate me India

when i turn my KASCO aerator on ,the floatation part starts spionning in a circle until it actually pulls it underwater enough to change spray pattern,whats wrong?

Good advice kudos!

I would like to see a video on catfish Specifically, do they cause ponds to be muddy.

"Small pond fountain" ... Just a check you may wish to do, if you can launch a boat into your "pond" it isn't small !

Are you close to Arkansas? We have a very bad erosion problem.

I have a bluegill crowded pond, exact scenario you described with every bluegill being 5” max. A few largemouth bass that are pretty skinny. The only stocker near me offers bass that are 2-3” in size, will these bass be eaten by the other bass in the pond because they’re so small? My pond is 1 acre in size.

thanks for this video. Lots of useful information packed in a short video 👍

So ive read that most all of this fish food components are imported from.china and its all poisonous and tainted low-quality garbage. If you want to eat any of the fish from your pond, your gonna eat what they eat. So if these foods contain toxic yuk, whats that mean really?

Calling now for a quote.

Do you do installs

we have a pond that only has large mouth in it and they are all stunted. I would like to add another species to the pond to help provide food for the bass but that could also possibly keep the bass fry in check. Would I be able to stock yellow perch into this scenario? Great content!

We added carp to our pond a few years ago to get the weed out of our pond and we think they are messing up the bluegills they are not on there beds. Any suggestions?

What do we do if our lake has very little structure and a shad problem? Most of these shad being over 10-12 inches.

Hello we purchased a home with a roughly 1500 square foot pond that is about 6 feet deep and approximately 3 years old. There is a lot of invertebrates and frogs. Ph is good and there is a lot of nutrition entering the pond via leaf litter in the fall. It is full of pondweed and naiad and they are growing incredibly fast. In May I have introduced eelgrass and coontail for habitat and oxygen. The pondweed and naiad are so dense we decided to get a small grass carp(knowing it may be too much later on). We also stocked one pound of fathead minnows to provide a future forage base. My wife wanted koi so we got 4 small koi. We are looking to put in an aerator in the next couple weeks before the fish load becomes too high. We are looking to add 3 dozen small bluegill fry and 1 dozen redear fry around September. Our goal is a bluegill pond. Are we on the right track?

I live in an apartment that has a half acre pond. I would catch both largemouth and bluegill. Last year a 22" small mouth appeared in the pound and now I'm not seeing any largemouths. Is it possible the smallmouth killed the largemouth bass? There are plenty of bluegill in pond.

I understand that male bass stay relatively small (could there be a goliath?), so taking them out favors less bass bedding and fewer new predator competitors.

My 3 acre pond has a ton of crappie. I caught over 100 in an hour and a half. Most of these mid range size and not fat. Should I remove a bunch of these? I have a good blue hill population and a fair bass population. My goal is to build up a good bass population with lots of 3-6 pound bass for friends and family to enjoy catching and releasing. Thank you for the video.

@theWDFW lacamas and silver lake please. The old stumps on the marsh at lacamas and the northwestern lilypads at silver. Every april, shoot, any april

How much is this system?

If we have bass crowded pond with most of them being under 10”, should we harvest any fish under 10” including fingerlings? Also should we stock minnows or shad?

The video was great but did not explain why ph and alkalinity was important?

Watching from Anjo Trinity Fish Farm Papua New Guinea

Or you could simply use submerged aquatic vegetation. Much better habitat for fish and aquatic invertebrates. Not to mention other benefits of macrophytes such as biotic oxygenation, nutrient uptake, preventing substrate erosion, increasing overall biodiversity and complexity of lentic ecosystem…

It'd be awesome if you could create some content talking about alternative species you might find in your pond (be it wanted or unwanted). For example, I love fishing for carp, but based on what I know about them, it would be extremely challenging to balance them in an ecosystem.

I'm 3 years away from retirement on the land I've bought in TN, but I guarantee I'll remember your company when I'm ready to make my dream pond a reality. You're very professional, very knowledgeable, and you've done a hell of a job answering people's questions in the comments.

Can a "stunted bass" be transported to another pond and flourish? Or are they just maxed out in the stunted size range?

Do you recommend ag lime in a pond?

Shocking of how many people have Bass/bluegill ponds. I’m going to be different and stock walleye and perch in my pond. Surprising the amount of people that only do what they see most people doing. Yeah bass put up a great fight but also need a bunch of food to grow super big. 10 pounds of forage for 1 pound of size
