Stocking the Pond with a New Species of Fish. Plus catching some supper.

[@jmccracken491]

Fishing is fun relaxing and the result is a healthy meal.😄😄😄

[@salemorganicranch]

You're living my dream life, man! Greetings from Kenya.

[@josevelez2759]

Wish I had my own pond...so jealous but good for you

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi..... Thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍

[@jamesharless5357]

Great video!

[@bevnelson3678]

I love fresh fish.

[@larrybarber]

Man I just got hungry. Great vlog. Keep em coming

[@davidvelen9835]

Beautiful pond, catching your own fish and frying up is some good living !!

[@OpunktSchmidt1301]

Fish, fresh potatoes, a piece of butter, a glass of wine... Yummy!!!😋

[@AndyB718]

Ty and i learned something new at 52 yrs old. Never knew Blue gill was an edible fish.

[@ericwalstrand3512]

If you want lots of buckets, go to your local pool supply store. Certain chemicals are shipped in small pouches and put in those buckets with locking lids. You may need to rinse them out and make sure chemicals haven't contaminated it. Cheaper than Lowe's or home Depot.

[@jimbucher1049]

Very informative video...Really enjoyed and Thank You !

[@lemoncrinckles]

That's a wonderful pond. If you like fish, that's going to keep you well fed. I'm so glad you showed the fish fry. It was the perfect ending to this video. Thank you, Evan. (:

[@Tonetwisters]

Your pond looks completely different in this shot, than I have seen it before ... The tree foliage really makes it rustic and extra beautiful.

[@4wheelsonmywagon733]

You may need to remove silt from pond at some stage...... lots of trees/leaves ..... healthy pond = healthy fish...good luck 👏👏🙏👍

[@suenorton873]

My granddaughter watched todays video with me. She was happy to see the fishies! If only for a second. 🙂

[@MASSAquariums]

That answered my question. Thanks

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

beautiful looking pond and nice fish. Nothing like catching your own dinner

[@stevemartinez6757]

Very nice. Catching and eating some of those smaller bass should actually help the pond. What you cooked for your supper looks very tasty. Enjoy!

[@popeyethesailorman7850]

good choice on the black crappie

[@cooldog60]

That fish looks so good!

[@williamadams715]

Evan and Rebekah, you guys are doing an awesome job living the dream. I really enjoy watching you..

[@fancybrooks3156]

Well, YOU had a great day - topped off with fish for supper out of your OWN pond. Evan, you and Rebecca are living the life! In a few more years, your farmstead will be all you dreamed for it to be. Great job!

[@williammassey8514]

Outstanding evan. Good job getting the new fish entered into your pond alive. I share your reservations on the crappie taking over. To be able to fish your own pond for dinner. I can smell and taste the fish fry from here. Just call me envious. Love watching those ducks. Thanks as usual.

[@ArtGardenFoodExpressions]

Evan, it looks like you've created your own little piece of Heaven. Just wow. You and Rebecca work so hard and you deserve every bit of goodness that you reap. I just love your videos so much and wish they were longer. Just me being selfish. Also, keep your eyes peeled for me a cabin. As an artist, I would love the tranquil life. Can't wait for the next one. Thanks.

[@RichBurris2]

That fried fish really looked good.

[@bettyechols6405]

We used to set trot lines: w empty milk jugs at the top of the lines to hold it up and of course to find it ...

[@tucker476]

very good video....

[@yackfzay6224]

I was surprised to read the title of the videos, you are stocking your pond. In this season, the weather. Good eating!!!

[@EC4400]

Hi Evan, another great food source. I hope you enjoyed it

[@lorenmeyer5290]

Evan love your video's! Beautiful pond!

[@lindamartinez8557]

Love the pond!

[@MickyBellRoberts]

I live in Spring, Texas so it is too far to come and check out your farm. You folk have really developed your outfit, beautiful. Hard Work!

[@ronsmith1364]

Yeah, that's a great change of pace from a chicken or rabbit dinner. Plus it's fresh caught & form the water to the fry pan is the best eating. Another option is a trout cage and 6-7' of water & 50' or lower water temps for a couple months. If there is a hatchery close enough by to get viable fingerlings in the net cage. Trout feed for 8 weeks & hundred lbs or so of trout fillets. Just something I've heard of. Some of the Triad cities stock their ponds for the winter & offer a pay/lbs fishery of trout. Yeah its managed but, they are still fresh caught fish. Y'all Keep Warm

[@0Hillbilly]

That look on your face when that bass jumped, hilarious. Love black crappie, best to eat over all fish for me.

[@robinpearson4583]

When restocking your pond, you could try floating your fish containers in the pond water until the temperatures are closer, this should avoid shocking the fish and causing casualties.

[@walt1064]

Look into getting a solar or wind powered pump for air stones. The smaller fish love those areas with higher oxegen levels. Also add some shiners . What make it will produce more bait.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Hey Evan, great video! Love the pond you have there, nice and peaceful to set and watch the ducks or do some fishing. Those bass are the best size for eating and the bluegill are great fun to catch and so good to eat. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@seanbarclay201]

Good job

[@ravenridgehomestead4596]

Ohhh wow. Looks so good... good eatin'

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Wow great ideal 👍

[@knolltop314]

What fun those fish would have been on fly rod!

[@stevenbushnick7745]

Lucky you fresh fish dinner from your own pond.

[@AndyB718]

Wow...That's my fantasy you have there man. Amazing place...

[@lylesmith1949]

Very cool Evan! Tasty looking fish you had for dinner. Personally, I like to pan fry fish, with the tails on, so I can eat those too. Yum! Great pond update. Now you can get a submersible ROV to check on them fishies. Lol

[@jerryfowler4960]

My brother had a pond on his farm which provided many hours of enjoyment. I can see the same for you.

[@donkeylong7707]

To keep water from splashing out of your bucket if your driving down the road with the bucket in the bed of the truck… put a broken stick in it. It keeps it from splashing out

[@tarz9386]

OK !!! NOW you need one of those $60,000 Bass boats to go in the pond so you can catch the big ones, as far as I can see thats all thats holding you back.

[@gingerreid8569]

We are needing to have to restock out pond...haven't been able to catch anything in a year...loads of flooding rains here in N.E. Texas...ponds overflowed and think we lost a lot of fish into a creek...hate to hear it will take 2-3 years to get fish to eat...:(...but we love bass and catfish...add some crappie...we have a feed coop that has fish people come by several times a year...

[@Tomhohenadel]

Evan, your temp difference would have to be 10 degrees or better to have any effect on the fish. Cool fall day is a great time to stock the pond

[@bagermaster-club]

For the health of the fish, bottom sediments must be periodically removed. This can be done with a dirty water motor pump and a Bagermaster suction nozzle.

[@loraineleuschke4186]

I was raised on a lake and we grew up eating catfish and crappie.

[@dbamsch]

It would be good stock around 600, 6 to 8" channel catfish and blue cat mix. Crappie also would do well and raise young. Also around 6 lbs of minnows will serve to feed all the fish. My dad had catfish and crappie and they both did very well with the catfish growing up to 10 lbs and had crappie up to 3 lbs in 3-4 years. Have fun with your phone and clear out those bass.

[@Z1MWOODS]

You need to build a dock one of these days

[@travismeccariello]

Any plans for a fishing dock?

[@rafaelcastro9523]

Hi Even i don't know if i spelled your name correctly. But man do i love your videos congratulations 👏 👍.

[@DonTXPgr]

Good fishing. Yummy u makes me hungry 😋

[@kennethmarlow2731]

You need to get a couple of pond bubblers,, that run 24/7/365.

[@kennethmarlow2731]

Thank you

[@blktlhunter]

I love what your video's and content but any video with your truck in it is that much better for me ha! Hands down best color ford has. Good job bro!

[@louisianausmc0331]

That’s good stuff👍 I like ur little fishing partner too!

[@FeldwebelWolfenstool]

...also, to transport, you can put them in plastic bags filled with pure oxygen...all you need is 2-3 inches of water in the bottom to hold MANY minnows in that big balloon of O2...

[@bobkanno6797]

Have you consider aeration for your pond to help prevent turn over?

[@josedelacuadra660]

I am considering building a pond on my property but where is the water coming from aside from rainwater. How long will it take to fill a 2 acre pond.

[@henryrodgers3409]

That certainly is some nice fish . That is a very nice pond . Big enough to put a canoe in . Is the pond spring fed and do you feed the fish at times . Your own piece of paradise . Nice

[@CountryViewAcres]

The pond is spring fed. It overflows flows all winter, even when the pond is froze over. I dont feed the fish or have plans to.

[@andyteohockguan2235]

You can build a bridge on your pond

[@johndour5207]

Might want to get a few thousand tadpoles and crayfish

[@mosinc7388]

The water clarity in your newer videos is amazing compared to these. Been a long road with that pond.

[@freshnorthwest6756]

We used to have a property like this in my family until the county decided they wanted it. Now the county officials use it to take their families fishing and hunting on, quite disturbing.

[@iansmartel5473]

You need to make a dock out into the water.

[@wilburnprice9886]

You should have a small rowboat or canoe in that pond.

[@silasbland4515]

Finally got around to watching this about 22 hours after the upload. I noticed 3 dislikes, which I assume are from two dead bass and a dead blue gill.

[@justinxiao9098]

23 fish dead

[@augustreil]

Great video Evan, How deep is the pond at the deepest ?

[@CountryViewAcres]

It was 18 feet deep when it was made in 1984. I have measured 13 feet deep now.

[@halibut1249]

Looks like you've got some ducks on that pond too. You could get yourself a good water dog and a shotgun, and along with the bass have some surf & fowl for supper. :)

[@aussiedonaldduck2854]

G'day, were are the chips mate? Got to have chips with fish!

[@JK-co6wk]

12:22 I had the perfect freeze-frame. Oh, man, I laughed so hard....... Sorry.

[@rudygtrz]

can you use a net to catch the fish?

[@grassmannightmare]

Now you need minnows. Lots and lots of minnows

[@arnoldromppai5395]

them bass will make short work of them fingerlings you bought and put in the pond, you may get lucky and havee a small few make it to spone

[@bettyechols6405]

So, crunching the numbers on hog feed and the cost of the pigs, and processing fee...how much did all the pork cost you? Compare with the average cost of pork across the board. Did you save any $$$$?

[@edadpops1709]

Hey what brand bed cover is that nice that it rolls up

[@jkdubs2]

What kinda fish breading do you use? Great video as usual.

[@CountryViewAcres]

Andy's yellow fish fry breading

[@CaptainToadBelly]

My Favorite too. I fry hundreds of fish Perch, Walleye, White Bass, Crappie for our local Conservation Club wild game feed 2 times a year and they used to use a batter which was so messy.. I turned them on to Andy's because it sticks so well to a (WET) FILLET. IT'S ALL I USE AT HOME TOO. IN A ZIPLOCK BAG. HOOK & COOK or FILLET and RELEASE. Love Andy's 👍👍UP

[@rebeccacooksey112]

Get your self some carp use boilies to catch them

[@joeford7350]

👍

[@odisdenney690]

What type of catfish? Nice video

[@danbrookshire5628]

Is your pond spring fed.

[@JK-co6wk]

What kind of treatment had you done on the wood inside your house?

[@CountryViewAcres]

No treatment. It is the natural pine. It should darken with age. Only the trim has polypropylene on it.

[@geo52041]

Evan do you put any fish feed in the pond or is all natural

[@rudygtrz]

what and how often do you feed the fish?

[@CountryViewAcres]

I dont feed the fish. I would prefer the pond be a self sufficient ecosystem.

[@kennethmarlow2731]

Watch northern farmer on you tube, he has them in his ponds and he lives in Alberta Canada

[@sathiskumar7594]

Whoa I am craving for a fish now! will you be getting any goose?

[@CountryViewAcres]

No geese in our plans

[@maggiesue4825]

Sounds like some good eating in the future!!

[@bettyechols6405]

You made the statement that w/o bait, there wasn't enough weight on the line....I know you have weights on your line?

[@fancybrooks3156]

Hey Evan, have you taken that duck boat you salvaged from the pond out yet? Is it water safe?

[@CountryViewAcres]

The boat is pulled out of the water. It is filling up with fall leaves.

[@fancybrooks3156]

@@CountryViewAcres I saw that. I remember when you first pulled it out of the water (where it was sunken).

[@jamiemckenzie8516]

Evan what are the blue flags at the side of the pond for ?

[@CountryViewAcres]

Those are where we planted trees around the pond. They are marked so I dont hit them with the weed wacker.

[@victoriaheuman8853]

do you need to air-ate the pond with oxygen?

[@CountryViewAcres]

Aerating would be beneficial, but the pond seems fine.

[@marksimonar1550]

Ya need to get rid of the snapping turtles !!

[@devlintube9610]

Get some carp

[@janfrench4691]

How long from 1st cast to actual catch?

[@CountryViewAcres]

Probably 10 mintues till I caught the first fish.

[@maxclark5397]

My pond is 9 acres and I found out the hard way that it is way to small for crappie. Bad mistake.

[@dwaynelowery5808]

I may be odd but why the ducks?
