Name the bass fry "Truman" after the movie, since it's entire life will be on camera for the world to see.

[@CannonCountry]

👍

[@Walker_mac]

This name better be it!!!😂😂😂

[@Heterogeneity]

😂 Agree

[@normalisoverrated]

haha! This is awesome. Better than my suggestion, Neo, (The One) from matrix.

[@mitchellmiguel2063]

Genius

[@AnimalsVehiclesAndMore]

That huge turtle at 11:12 is a Common Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina). It's a large species of turtle native to North America, and is the most common type of Snapping Turtle (hence its name). They can live for many decades, and feed on aquatic vegetation, nuts, berries, grapes, small fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, crustaceans, and sometimes small mammals and birds if the opportunity presents itself. It's also very easy to tell the difference between Common Snapping Turtles (CST) and Alligator Snapping Turtles (AST). ASTs are larger than CSTs. They also have Alligator-like ridges running along their backs (hence their name), whereas CSTs don't have that. CSTs also have much longer necks than ASTs, which makes them more dangerous to handle since they can reach around and bite you, whereas ASTs can't do that. ASTs live in fast-flowing rivers and streams, whereas CSTs live in lakes and ponds. If you ever see a Snapping Turtle out in the wild, it's, more often than not, a Common Snapping Turtle.

[@garethoconnor1069]

I thought the same thing and was checking the comments. Now I know I’m right with that explanation. Thanks

[@huudiinii]

I was looking for that comment of a person, who knows more than me. Thanks :D

[@tlhansen]

Any catfish planned??

[@Coopsfishin]

CSTs definitely live in fast flowing rivers, they will just find the slower deeper water

[@user-yl9os7iv5h]

The catfish🙀are gonna walk themselves in like the CST did😊😅😂 ​@@tlhansen

[@magicwozniak]

Retired Polish Air Force pilot here. My son started watching your channel, now I do. Go for the experience with the Blue Angels. It will be worth every second of it.

[@hiddenindarkness13]

You ABSOLUTELY have to fly with them. Even if you don't film it, that is one hell of an experience.

[@DL-lz6pj]

One of the best man made ponds in the United States right here.

[@geardog1982]

​@@RockyPondProductions "Don't be Jelly @RPP, mmkay. Being Jelly's bad, mmkay"

[@Luckieoutdoors]

Maybe on KZbin, tons of near billionaires in Texas with some really nice ponds

[@JMcKee253]

​@@Luckieoutdoors couple of the trophy bass lakes in Texas are drying up!

[@brockn7878]

The only truly documented one anyways

[@MichaelShumate-bk3tu]

How much will you bet in 3 years he will pull out a start or a world record bass.

[@heudyvaldez2710]

The turtle looks more like a common snapping turtle than an alligator snapping turtle.

[@K1ddkanuck]

I thought so too. We've got em in ponds and lakes up in Canada as well. It looked strikingly familiar.

[@gzo313]

The Alligator snappers I have seen have shorter necks and much larger heads. That looks like a common snapper.

[@Flywheel2996]

As far as I know alligator snappers have “spikes” on their shells, and that one has a smooth shell.

[@PurpleDrac]

Yup I was just getting ready to say common ☺️snapper! 😎

[@PurpleDrac]

alligator snappers are a little more on the plus +side with their size but can be easily mistaken for a common in their adolescent state. They don't start getting that more growly look till mid adulthood but this solely depends on their genetics so that can vary 💯💯

[@byronsmith3152]

That is a once in a lifetime chance to fly with some of the best pilots in the world. You have to do it.

[@samanthapateman8054]

I love that wild animals are moving into the ponds, shows that you’ve done a really good job.

[@supremeengland4972]

Common snapping turtle my man

[@micke6705]

cool

[@MrLucideye99]

My guess as well, alligator have spiny shells.

[@michaelsorrels3202]

His flat nose makes me think that it is a soft shell snapping turtle the common snapping turtle has a nose that comes to a point

[@piercemccauley7079]

@@michaelsorrels3202 soft shell turtles are not snapping turtles, soft shelled turtles also are the ones that have a nose that comes to a point. Thats a common snapping turtle 100%

[@Heterogeneity]

Once we decide which species and gender this turtle is can we agree she ought to be named Dorothy Zbornak after Bea Arthur's character on Golden Girls? She always snapped at people. 😂

[@davidhudson7880]

Retired Army here...and watched my son retire from Fort Riley last week. Thank your brother for his service from me, and YES! Take the flight! That's a once-in-a-lifetime experience for 99.999% of the human race. Eat a light breakfast and enjoy! AATW/RLTW

[@ronarant2897]

I agree with above! This is a “Bucket List” opportunity!! No matter what “we” say you should absolutely go flying. As for the Turtle, yes I believe you have an Alligator Sapper. I worked at a camp below Opp Alabama for several summers 40+ years ago. We would walk around the ponds edge at night and see the turtle fishing with their mouth open and their “lure” just a flickering. Sometimes the big fish just can’t resist that lure and the turtle will get them. Just watch out where you put your feet and hands in the water, they can blend into the background very well!!! Ron

[@stevenpearson8065]

Agreed, definitely take the once in a life time chance to fly with the Blue Angeles. I see them every year here in Washington state. And yes, that is an alligator snapping turtle.

[@JMOP2020]

Hope your son moves far from Junction City now that he's retired!! 😅😅😅

[@johnvanduren4806]

As a lifelong pilot, and one who wishes he could have ridden with the Blue Angles, I say GO FOR IT! It will be a memory for a lifetime.

[@achiyan]

i grew up watching the Blue Angels down in Beaufort/Parris Island, South Carolina. im a military brat so my folks always took me to the show. not only that, i used to lay out on the trampoline and watch them practice every chance i could. basically, a free show that lasts longer than the real show. they have truly left an impact on my life and will forever be one of my favorite spectacles to witness

[@nicktaylor1970]

You should plant a few weeping willow trees on the island, they will allow for more bird life and give some cover to the bass

[@user-ho5gh4wh7x]

Oh man, flying at over 700 mph sounds like one helluva time and a once in a lifetime invite my vote is YES!!! Do it!!!!

[@michaelbowman4611]

ABSOLUTELYY Take advantage of the invite!! Experience of a lifetime!!

[@ericpaul375]

Absolutely need to take the opportunity, as an Air Force pilot I wish every single person could have the opportunity to feel what those Gs feel like, there's just nothing that compares and I wish more ppl could just have the experience because it sucks to talk to your closest friends and family and there's just no way for someone to understand without experiencing it. Absolutely go for it

[@robertmurray6340]

Whoever said to name the little bass," Truman." I like that. Couldn't find ur comment again to like it so I made my own. Lol.

[@Richard.Dawson]

Thanks, lol

[@Steve-ev6vx]

Yeah good one! Now I am picturing a bass having an existential crisis like jim carry's character at the end when he figures out he is trapped in a giant fish bowl. 😂

[@flinkoflan]

Thats definitely a common snapping turtle, the small shell under the belly is the main identifier

[@n7ton]

Also the long neck.....

[@Stubby1085]

Congrats on 1 million subscribers. I’ve learned so much from these videos for my own pond building project.

[@pfletch]

one of the pilots was my engineering partner at A&M, you definitely need to go fly with them!

[@N-cubed]

As a biology major, I love the inclusion of science and research in these videos. They are very educational and insightful. Keep it up!!

[@joshwagner8468]

Now my day is complete. Nothing better then a bamabass video. Let's go

[@mattjohnson7835]

I agree. Perfect for Sunday evening. Very relaxing.

[@markrothenberg9867]

Thank you brother Michael for your service. Nice update and video.

[@rvfishingyet]

Thanks for the channel, and Thank You to all that serve!

[@akrm2290]

The Blue Angels footage was a nice bonus. YOLO, so if you can fly the guest seat in one of those, go for it!

[@K1ddkanuck]

Those wide shots at the beginning around a dense city were Toronto, Ontario, Canada! They come up hear for the Toronto Airshow, and are always a delight. Except for when I'm trying to sleep in and all I can hear are sonic booms (I live on the waterfront where that footage was filmed).

[@AverageCanadianStinky]

@@K1ddkanuck Toronto is in India my good sir, we own all of Canada now.

[@K1ddkanuck]

@@AverageCanadianStinky Hehe. I hate to laugh at that, but I did.

[@russnuss3074]

Absolutely go for it

[@dramoth64]

My grandfather was an aircraft mechanic for the RAF during world war 2. He was based at Singapore originally before they evacuated and relocated to Darwin. Where he promptly fell in love with Australia, went home after the war and told my nan and my dad that they were moving to Australia :D

[@derekhaderman6026]

Thats awesome the snapping turtle came there! That will help keep balance!!!

[@jondebono7020]

The turtle is a Common Snapping Turtle for sure!

[@trevorrentfro1825]

Congrats on 1 million!

[@Gloryholesrock86]

YES! You absolutely must fly with our beloved Blues!!! It’s a once in a lifetime experience !! I got to fly with them 5 years ago in San Diego …!!! You’ll love it!!

[@broad100]

I really enjoy your videos and following the progress of the pond. Thank you.

[@Kaepora2]

@BamaBass I know how to make your Pond look as clear as a swimming pool!! You don't seem to have any cleaner shrimp in the pond, so If you stock your pond with Micro-Fauna like Daphnia and Moina Micropopa, they'll go after all of that phyto plankton floating around that's making it look green. I hope this helps! With a very generous stocking of these that whole pond will be crystal clear.

[@kylepotter7519]

Thank you for your military shout out! Def take a ride in the F-18. Had a ride in an F-16 a few years ago and it was truly a once in a life time experience you will never forget!

[@salvadorhernandez9884]

Good Sunday everyone

[@RichardLaboy-og8wb]

YES take the ride. did it when i was in the Marines and loved it. you will never forget it.

You deserve to enjoy life to the fullest, take a break and take the once in a lifetime flight. Great job Sir

[@sharizabel2582]

Love to see Bama Bass fly. You’ll love it too. I flew fighters in the USAF for 20+ years. Best time of my life.

Hell yeah we want to see you take a ride in one of those jets!! And thank you to your brother for his service!

[@AllUpPickleball]

I have an engineering challenge for you that I think would be hugely popular with the community. You might have to invent it… Install a tag sensor under the bald eagle nesting platform. Let’s see who’s fish is the first one to be eaten or contributed to bald eagle salvation!!! Would be super fun!!!

[@thatswrightoutdoors]

You have take that opportunity to fly with them man. that would be probably one of the best experiences of your life.

[@hookedonprjonrojas2314]

You have no idea how much I anticipate these vids on Sunday night.

[@rickyflair4516]

Looking forward to bird box cameras hope that is a future project!!!

[@Ameng3471]

The bird box is vacant all the time. No patrons since the eagle nest is nearby within striking range

[@PolochAngriff]

I don't know, the nighttime feedings with the underwater lights is pretty rad!

[@johnhamilton3987]

I wanna see you in the jet! I’m a navy veteran AD2, seen the Blue Angles in Key West FL loved it.

[@markemiller1234]

Yes yes....fly with those Angels. Its a trip that will change u in a great way. You will never forget it. BTW ive watched every video since you were building your pond. Great videos! Thanks so much

[@charliebanks8419]

Thanks to the Blue Angels who have some new names for your fish. The aircraft have numbers so you could even name some after the tail numbers. Love your channel

[@rzrbackfan80]

you should totally fly with the the Blue Angels! That is a once in a lifetime opportunity that shouldn't be passed up! I truly love watching their maneuvers on KZbin and TikTok.

[@ericwhiting5470]

You definitely need to go for a ride with the Blue Angels and then invite them to join you for an afternoon at the pond. That would make for a great day and an awesome video. I also say that as a United States Navy Submarine Veteran.

[@jessnunez7556]

I live a few miles from NAF El Centro and I get to see the Blue Angels practice every day during the winter.

[@lorez71]

A good name for your new pet base fry.....Small Fry.

[@jarvisbrinson157]

Yea it looks like a snapping turtle we have tons in Florida

[@seattlecarpenter]

I've been watching the Blue Angels since I was a little kid. They used to fly over my house as a kid in Seattle. They come here every summer for the Seafair events which include hydroplane racing.

That is a common snapping turtle. Yeah that's the actual name for them. Alligator snappers have a much larger head and mouth

[@cuivre2004]

I'm glad someone else (other than me) knew the correct type of snapping turtle that was. Too many automatically think every snapping turtle is an "alligator snapping turtle". The common snapping turtles are much more aggressive and mean.

[@MsSaudm]

@@cuivre2004 Fellas used to catch them from our lake in DE ( they made snapper soup ) They drug them up on the shore & a big one literally bit a 2x4 in half like it was straw they have a powerful bite

[@timothygraham5642]

I love your commentary. You have the best pond build channel hands down. I remember when you built the aquarium. To see you start from a glass tank to a backyard pond to this; has been an amazing journey to follow. Thank you so much! I can’t wait for your next video.

Habitat size plays a big role in growth rate and max size the fish can reach. I’ve been keeping fish for 20+ years. I’ve noticed when upgrading them to bigger tanks or ponds they grow, even if they haven’t grown in months or years!

[@breezygamer1179]

Happy to see the blue angels and bass spawn! They do sometimes go above Mach 1 (~750mph) but it depends on if they’re allowed to or not. I feel you could unironically open up a trout hatchery at this point lol. I would at least try to catch and cook one of them :)
