How many acres is this pond?

[@ScottParisi]

Cool video. Learned while being entertained. I wish someone had a follow-up video for the alligator gar repopulation efforts

[@Jeff-uq7iu]

Beautiful pond! Needs some hybrid stripped bass! Put 12 of them in my just over 1/2 acre pond. They seem to control the sunfish population better than the largemouth did. And they are not as hook shy as the LMB. They also grow fast. 2 years and some are close to 8lbs. A 3lb HSB fights like a 12lb LM bass

[@hunterwebster538]

Yes they are very fun to fight but they are not very great at reproducing, more often than not some cannot even reproduce at all

[@joshualoupe5220]

Great informative video.

[@mosierboy3631]

Thank you for the information and advice! I’ve recently considered doing a series of pond management videos on my channel! I’m still researching! Awesome video! Beautiful crappies and beautiful bass! God bless!

Nice fishing

[@ZaneofAustin]

5:01 "look at this fish" *pat pat pat*

[@dancarson1479]

Fishing under high tension lines, that will go shockingly well 😉

[@ollie5226]

How do you decontaminate a toxic pond?

[@6000cs]

Could anyone tell what he was fishing (lure) when he caught the nice bass at 4:40?

[@cjgrider8491]

Either a jig, spinner bait, or chatter bait

[@Killoer]

5:25 Better angle: Its a bladed jig (Chatterbait) in a solid white colour.

[@alexpellman8637]

Looked like a white spinner bait

[@jerricamueller984]

how did you catch a fry

[@Realtorable]

If I use a corn dog, can I catch a dorkfish?

[@hamamunashe]

This is a pond size i want, beautiful pond. My old kentucky home

[@hamamunashe]

What is the size of that pond

[@ASHole71]

Do you just toss the invasives into the woods? Or a homeless shelter or something?

[@matthewjohnson6360]

IF I was to win the power or mega of over 100, I'll buy land and put in a 12-acre pond/swimming hole in MN or western WI. and attract waterfowl.

[@lynngraham2934]

Crowded? No wonder, they keep throwing them back in, lol.

[@teel6060]

Who edited this? Just when I needed more info and then......

[@ethanblankenship5016]

Lol same 😅

[@repairdrive]

Crappie are a problem there??? Good luck finding ANY in Chicagoland.

[@charliesommers3142]

there is some in s pond near me in palatine

[@kobie4238]

Lol yea all we have in most Chicago spots are tiny bluegill and weeds.

[@kylepeak7033]

The "2lbs variety" you caught was about a pound. And your "5 pound" was a heavy 2lb or 3lbs max.

[@treyyoung5921]

I was thinking the same thing. Damn Kentucky boys

[@treyyoung5921]

Big crappie though

[@mrglock2313]

Put fat head minnows in once a year 👍

[@shaundiltz5821]

I hate green sunfish.

[@gordonbricker1670]

Please treat these poor fish humanely!

[@renoanderson9549]

Please don't be so ignorant

[@Jeff-uq7iu]

Poor fish?

By creating a amazing habitat for them ......Gordon you fool

[@erichemard7066]

I agree 1000%. You guys need to treat these fish with the respect that they deserve. They deserve some corn flour, a hot skillet, a side of tater tots and some tarter sauce.

[@jdhaole7650]

@@erichemard7066 How could you be so disrespectful? Tater tots? Man these fish deserve a big bowl of cheese grits!

[@jamesrene7509]

This just breaks my heart to see you set that hook that hard on that bass, lucky you didn't break it's neck or rip it's mouth off. Bad sportsmen and you worried about the fish being healthy and having big belly. Need to be reported to wildlife and fisheries for abuse and lose your fishing license. Not cool, not cool at all 😁😂🤣😃😅
