Encase the plaque flat into the small dock somehow so it's visible in your drone footage or drill it into a rock...I can't think of the materials needed to protect it.🤔

[@TrustTheProcessKB]

@bamabass encase it and rout a spot on the peer for it.

[@lukew5602]

Best Idea: Build a pirate like treasure chest. Put it in the middle of the pond. Put the gold play button in there. Maybe some lights around it so you can see into the chest with your underwater camera.

Buried on the island in a epoxy case so you can look in it in the ground

Never seen blue crab cooked that way. We cook them whole, with old bay here in the north east. The guts you threw out is good eats, crab butter. Congrats on 1m. Been watching for several years now, it’s the last video I watch before bed every Sunday. Thank you for the all the content.

[@lyndseystanfield6719]

Agree on the crabs. That’s how we cook them in southeast Louisiana, too!

[@edmartin875]

In Texas they are alive when they go into the pot. South Alabama is missing out on some extra tasty crab feasts. Crab eggs are usually under the apron on their mom's belly. When crabbing you are supposed to return females with eggs to the water. My ex is from Maryland and there back then ALL females were returned to the water when caught.

[@haydenhacker8416]

Have you thought about adding catfish to the pond? I know that large bass are the focus but catfish aren’t usually going to be preying on bass and it would control the tilapia so it won’t get out of hand. Having some big 20 pound channels would also just be really cool

[@Johnnyy832]

Catfish likes to burrow. It will ruin the layer of clay in his pond.

When catching the trout it's recommended that you wet your hand before touching them so you don't disrupt their slime coat as much since trout are kind of fragile.

[@RickKutchback]

Not sure if it matters much to be honest, when spring and summer roll around those trout are going to drop like flies

[@devinb5937]

This is not true at all lol I’m a biologist bro. Stop spreading lies.

[@kalebanderson7426]

@@devinb5937 I’ve just seen this from other fishing videos. And even if it’s wrong it’s not like it’s hurting anyone

[@dudechuck82]

What is true is that trout are fragile. Pulling them out of the water like a bass can have very negative affect even to the point where they just die.

[@devinb5937]

@@dudechuck82 lol that’s not true at all

[@Craig_Andrus]

You could consider installing your KZbin play button in an epoxy block and recess it so its flush with top of the the dock, although the UV rays may make it sun fade over time. You'll always be reminded of your accomplishments that helped make the pond your reality.

[@NorthAveBeachBum]

I was gonna suggest the epoxy block with some lighting and place it behind the waterfall.

Plaque Idea: put the plaque in a transparent plastic casing and integrate it into the deck of either pond almost like your own Hollywood star ⭐️

[@brianmoore4299]

Congrats on a million. I dont fish and never have. But your channel is more than that. Its nature in the raw. We get to see all sorts of different animals just trying to eat. You are very kind to feed all those different animals the things you put out. I started watching from the beginning cuz I was interested in the five acre pond build. I even remember a video early on where you and your wife went fishing somewhere and caught Bonnie and Clyde.

[@Shaden0040]

One thing I've seen one guy death in Florida do when his Aqua escape ponds get or streams get too cold he runs well water remember the well water is gonna be about 60 degrees down the earth so if you pump a little that in the tilapia will go down to the warm water and stay there and survive just a trick I thought you might want to try.

We had a tilapia kill at our neighborhood pond a few years ago. Never seen so many vultures, and the HOA learned their lesson about stocking tilapia.

[@benjaminjohn4360]

When I read the title, the first thing I thought was the tilapia. The rainbow thrive in cold water. Congratulations on hitting 1 million subscribers. Your Chanel is certainly worthy. May I suggest building the gold plaque into one of the docks? It could be set into it using apoxy so one could walk on it.

[@CooperDoesYoutube]

You should incorporate the play button into a bed for next spring. I think it would be cool to have one of the pond bass using the play button as a bed! Maybe it’ll even bring them in with the golden color, congrats on 1mil!!

[@PurpleDrac]

how do you think the tilapia will fair till then? I was surprised to see some of the larger ones still hanging on their immune systems weren't designed for those colder temps but was glad to see a few of them still fightin. hopefully this is the coldest it'll get love this guys channel! it occured to me when him and the little one were cruisin through Bass 🎣Pro just now but thought he should donate one of the tiger bass to put in the aquarium. Thought it'd be neat to see them up close next to the southern strain. As always comments and ideas 💡are appreciated! 😄 😎

[@silverlicious2086]

Frame the 1 Mill plaque and hang above a mantle in the Fishing cabin for all the visitors to see.

Congrats on the million!! If I remember correctly you had one of those “above the pond” sight tanks that you built awhile back. You should build one of those looking glass tanks that sits above the water line that fish and what not can swim into and incorporate the plaque in that some how, I think that would be pretty cool.

[@iGoVroomVroom]

I was gonna say the same thing

[@JessiFayS]

Incorporate this idea with the idea of a buried treasure idea. Build an above the pond tanks big enough to hold the "buried treasure". Have the gold plaque holding up the lid of the wooden chest. Add lighted "jewels" of different colors and other fake gems and gold as part of the decoration spread around in there. Basically - make it a theme park for the fish to swim through that we can see.

HEY I have an idea for the new plaque remember that video you made years back at your backyard pond. You should put the plaque inside a inverted aquarium in your new pond you’ll be able to see it above water. it would be cool to see fish swim around the plaque in some way. Hope I win
