Yes it is good Time new Fish give in the Pond! The Pond have a Natural Fauna and Flora to build up. This Important for the Fish. I hope You have a great Success, and the Fish to growi.

[@alpharomeo15]

Unless that is what you want, don't let Crappie get started in your lake, or that is all you will have in one year's time! They eat everything! 🐟

[@annlaurie1484]

Heron will be happy 😂

[@fastsetinthewest]

Exactly. Now comes the products to keep healthy fish.

[@leifholm1586]

Now you need an underwater pond camera to show the fish habitats! 😮

[@cyndikarp3368]

Excellent to get more food fish to establish before the bass arrive. Looking very good for future fishing adventures.

[@timl3605]

Hey Geoff! Stocking has been a long time coming for you. Happy for ya! Nice to see the fish "flying in" to the Bealy Good Pond Looking good!

[@donnaflanagan6612]

Very cool Geoff. Hope they grow fast & learn to dodge & weave to avoid Kurma & the heron🥰

[@DosMasTequila]

It’s always a good thing to see a pond getting stocked with fish. You really need to work on the dock and finish that off.

[@tedc7714]

Blue gills are super good eating.,tasty... Better than crappy.

[@beverleytaylor9464]

We needed a laugh today,my husband has a very painful leg. Even he was delighted to see the fish and lovely pond. I have seen this done in real life but that a reservoir being stocked with trout. Fishing is an expensive sport here in England. Superb film and music. Love to DogDog ❤🐩🌼

This is awesome. Back in the 60's as a Boy Scout I raised turtles. Thanks for bringing back special memories.

The pond looks even better than I could have ever imagined. Ten thousand thumbs up!!!!!

[@louGriggs1944]

Really glad to see this day get here. Great day on the Bealy Good Farm.

[@randylowman1916]

Oh boy! So exciting!

[@nigelhales874]

Haven't seen for a while Geoff plenty of fish going in the lake ...+ lake looks awesome

[@dale5898]

That fish bazooka sounds like the aftermath of my last trip to the local Chinese restaurant.

[@MrGoesBoom]

Love watching when a pond build starts getting to the point that it's really alive, and stocking fish always seems to be the point where that really happens. Good luck and hope the heron doesn't eat them all...though if it tries maybe it'll get too fat to make a fast getaway

[@GARDENER42]

We've a heron on our 3 acres of club waters here in the UK & it doesn't seem to impact fish numbers in the least. Bloody otters & cormorants though...😠

[@doritleis2773]

[@Per409]

You mentioned a blue heron, these things ruined the bluegill, redeye and bass in a creek near me. The meat of the fish are peppered with yellow worms (parasites) that are disgusting when you cut one out and it moves on the knife blade! As i understand it they mostly come from the mouth of blue herons. Great looking pond btw!

[@garydillon3960]

Bealy, you are a man after my own heart. I've been fishing for 65 years and nothing thrills my heart more than to teach and watch young kids learn to fish. Thank You. The pond looks amazing and now alive. God Bless and Good Health.

[@BealyGood]

Ty! Have a Bealy Good day!

[@David_B_Dornburg]

All that splashing is like a Dinner Bell for that snapping turtle. 😁

[@seekinfindin5669]

So it begins. The stocking and feeding of the awesome Bealy Good 5 acre pond. You should be able to get some GREAT video of the feedings. Thanks for the great content.

[@alsouthern7190]

Exciting to see the stocking of the fish by the Super Fish Lady. Long time coming and beautiful pond

[@RobertConserva]

Finally! New Bealy Good Farm content, albeit essentially a short.. 😂. I guess we don’t want to be too ungrateful! Lol! Neat info on the stocking process, etc.. now looking forward to the next one..👀

[@bryanlloyd1099]

So exciting to see the new fish going in the pond!!

[@cliff4695]

Pro tip when buying your bass, wait all the till the very end of the season before you buy them. The hatchery always unloads them right before the winter season. You get some really great deals that way. You want F1's and northern, if you can get them, they make a hybrid that is the absolute best!

[@steves9915]

Awesome additions Geoff! And Jamie sounds like a pro. Now you need a sub with a dorsel fin on it for the next time they are there!

[@BealyGood]

I have a submarine 😁. We’ll run it around soon.

[@78moneypit]

It’s a glorious day at bealy good lake the fish have arrived congratulations.

[@kevinkenyon7045]

You’ve got a good start! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@johnblecker4206]

Those Bluegills' sure came from some healty stock and those Shiners' will be good eating for other fish.

[@geoffwheatstone1729]

Hey other Geoff with a G! That was exciting to watch. Be fun to watch the pond really come to life now. And you’ve got plenty of time to get that fire pit figured out before fall now. 😉

[@ronthacker211]

Fascinating

[@bclaminack]

Awww... the internet experts are wrong again. I have fished many farm ponds and had lots of great catches, including very nice sized bass and cats, and can't recall one that was deeper than 12 ft. Most are a max of 8 - 10 ft. Glad to see your stocking and can't wait to see you and the girls fishing it in the future.

[@BillW-NJ]

a whole lotta wildlife, nice!

[@CraigGrant-sh3in]

Depth would depend on climate and fish species. If you are in the north and the water freezes in the winter ,you want it deep enough to give the fish water to survive in. The father north you go ,the deeper the water you need . Bass ,blue gills ect are warm water fish where as trout are cold water fish. They need deep cool\cold water to survive. Herons and turtles have to eat too . Herons are fun to watch. I was at a friends house on a river that had an island . We were sitting out and saw a heron trying to catch a fish along the bank of the island. There were several crows screaming and seem to be harassing the heron. They landed on some low branches and continued screaming. The heron jabbed it's head in the water and came up with a huge bass empaled on his beak. The heron flicked its head on the bass landed on the shore . Dinner served for the crows. They attacked the bass and the heron went back to looking for it's much smaller dinner . My friend saw it happen again after that time

[@joycefuller9177]

Cool to see the fish go in and learn about them .

[@BealyGood]

Thank you 😊

[@williammatthews2948]

That's cool.

Great job on stocking the pond Geoff ❤ bear

[@randysmith9636]

Hey brother, checking in from mid Tn. I have been looking forward to this video. Congratulations on getting to add fish to the pond.

[@floydjackson298]

I'm ready to catch some big fish. I can't hardly wait.Oh boy.

[@danl.909]

Nice. It must be a thrill to see your pond reach the stage where it truly becomes a living thing itself. Congratulations.

[@retrodad6864]

Really interesting Geoff. Thanks for posting. 🇬🇧👍👍👍

[@General_Confusion]

You should have probably done the naming video whilst they were still in the tanks.

[@davidlane1169]

Response to post about what Mr. Beally Good job is: My first post here, i felt you had enough bosses to drive one from the cliffside already. I noticed you were far too tech savy to be less than what you are, i figured the subject of career would come up just as it did. Your other house blew my mind, especially the stonework inside the log walls (most impressive). You nailed my prime interest when you waiffed into the extensive audio gear/both setups. It's been my passion for the past 50 years, I've got two setups as well. I'm not your typical audiophile at all, I specialize in surround as opposed to stereo, figure it as part & parcel Pink Floyd's fault entirely after I personally attended at 18 years old the Dark Side Of The Moon surround sound tour circa first week of June, 1973. I purchased the whole extensively complete quadrophonic ball of wax in the next 18 months including two Floyd's in stunning SQ surround. Thanx for sharing, knew you could never be a bumble with a wife that smart. We love your posts.

[@BealyGood]

Thanks David!

[@ryanthomas985]

Get a couple paddlefish there filter feeders get huge and get a couple alligator gar that pond would be perfect contact predatory fins there KZbin channel has tons of awsome fish they sell

[@kevinmurray7135]

Mr Bealy Good it’s a good day at pond today awesome the girl knows her stuff that’s cool you know you are getting quality understanding of what’s going into your pond still would be camping out there it’s very nice and the snap-in-turtle makes a good friend they will get use to you your sounds and movements when he starts staring at you and not hiding his head you’ll know you have a friend for life I’m sure it will happen you are a good man and you have a awesome place oh tell dog dog he’s still number one of all the animals from me 👍😎🇺🇸NY

[@b_lumenkraft]

Welcome to the pond new fishies. Show up once in a while for the camera. :)

[@dimbag1]

That was cool

[@markpashia7067]

Fun stuff. Costly but worth it in the grand scheme of things. Great start to the food web there. Ya know that big snapper would actually cook up pretty good if you are worried about what he will do to the little fish. One of my high school buddies had me over for dinner and his mom had done one that size. Turtle stew was not bad. That was over fifty years ago yet still have the memory.

[@danl.909]

No-o-o-o! Don’t kill the snapper! She (guessing) has a slow metabolism and won’t eat enough fish to matter. Herons are another story, cormorants are worse, and if you get a family of otters in there, I don’t know what you could do about it (legally). Don’t sweat the poor ol’ snapper. She’s the least of your worries as far as predators go.

[@keithphaneuf9146]

Hot Darn ! LOVE IT !

[@keithphaneuf9146]

I honestly would like to know if Algee & types of weeds will grow out of the CLAY bottom?

[@keithphaneuf9146]

Example : Hydrilla Verticillata , submerged bottom growth all over......

[@BealyGood]

@@keithphaneuf9146 I believe it depends on sunlight penetration

[@tedc7714]

You will ,likely get some sunfsh.. Wild from creeks. Like blue gill.. Shape.. Maybe some small mouth bass too. But they don't hurt anything, Wild ones. From creeks. Blue gills breed like mice. Multiply fast. Good food for every one. Turtle bass heton. Everyone a winner.... Later on you may get some war mouth too. Another brim. Like bluegill. And sunfish,

[@Andy-fv9cl]

My Uncle did 20 Feet and it dried up in 10 years. So he went to thirty feet after it dried up It seems to be doing good now

[@davidfarley1175]

I told Chris what the state recommended as far as the depth of water to the pond size and what happens when you have a shallow pond weeds take over and you can have fish kills because of a lack of oxygen, and you only need 2/3 grass carp per acre, as you know even the backs have a required slope to them

[@JD-zm4eh]

I like my Bluegill pan size pan fried in real butter and garlic with salt over a lakeside wood fire. Your gonna have fish galore Bealy Good. Feed those fish until pond becomes self sufficient.

[@BealyGood]

Feeder goes up tomorrow 😊

[@shitloveaduck]

Heck yeah!! Gotta start somewhere!! She was impressed with the pond and such a great baseline opportunity!! Well done Geoff! That’s all your planning!! Awesome. We shall see how they grow. I am subs right to BamaBass of course and he has had some great growth rates, but he is in a different climate than you are. It’s all interesting stuff! You are doing well and I suspect we will see similar results here in less the air and water is colder, then the growth rate could slow down!! Our trout are growing fast! They are hybrids “designed” to do so though. They actually have some salmon strain in them. We have them up to 18 inches and they will be 20” or slightly more this fall. We will stock a few more then. We overstocked initially last year and until the pond grew by accident, they were overcrowded and stunted. Those springs are still flowing hard!! We have a constant and sizeable creek going out the other side no matter what. about the depth yours can get over the drain. Approximately 5” of water constantly. Fish and wildlife are saying I’m fortunate the springs are natural and not deliberately targeted,,, whew!! Haha.

[@BealyGood]

I wanted to stock trout but they won't survive our summers

[@shitloveaduck]

@@BealyGood - no, not the heat. Last year some started developing heat blisters in the trophy lake nearby. They still fought but didn’t always survive after releasing them. I stopped fishing for them. They had what we call a summer kill. Lost maybe 10% they figured. They prefer cold waters. The springs we have are just cool enough at about 70 degrees at the highest and the pond didn’t exceed 23 C or about 75 F. Chilly swims, but acceptable here. The lake nearby exceeded 80 degrees F. It was really warm and the leech population exploded. You couldn’t even swim in there. Leeches are gross when they get ya!! They are harmless, but creepy!! Hahaha!! I wish our fishery was more like yours!! Orrr,,, Manitoba!! You can catch anything freshwater there!! It seems, heh heh. Take care Geoff!

[@joejohnson7097]

Now just feed them so have some good fishing thanks for the video

[@donnamullins2089]

Pond is looking great. Nice fish to stock the lake. Good music. Thanks

[@dandurham4288]

Put some gambusia minows in

[@tbirdracefan]

When I stocked my new half acre pond a few years ago, The blue Heron or two really bothered me. I bought one of those floating alligator heads and it really did work for a while. Eventually the line broke and I never put it back in the pond. The fish are producing more than the herons can eat.

[@inmotion81]

And get that turtle out of there it will eat so many fish get it out sent it too turtle heaven good video let girls fish now ;)

[@haroldhawkins9370]

Bealy Good, love that intro really nice. Nice video.

[@AncientHermit]

Fish cannon eh! Been waiting for this forever. Interesting video, and thanks for it. Make sure you got bubblers in there soon, never know when a a summer will turn poor for fish - as in too much heat and not enough oxygen. Protect that investment, they will prove to be worth it I am sure. Be well.😉

So awesome. Its so crazy how rhey are starter fish and feeding fish and whatever they do. I love ir though, Great video my friend.

There's two ways I like to fish. 120 volts alternating current and dynamite. 🤔🤔🤔

[@heatherlane9270]

Lovely addition to the pond - stock numbers will improve twofold. Carp - are they the same as European Carp? If so they are an absolute menace in Aussie waterways - bottom dwellers and reduce native fish numbers. All they are good for is fertilizer.

They def eat a lot. Have to wait to put them in and you use ones that are sterile. Will prob only have a dozen.

That's a beast of a snapping turtle - a mate of mine has one of a similar size in his pond in NE Alabama. This stocking is food for the bass? Way different from fishing here in the UK. Won the first match I'd entered since late 2019 on Sunday (thanks for nowt Covid...) - mixed bag of roach, rudd, bream, perch - nothing like US species. $60 winnings isn't much but only 12 competitors this time.
