If you’re keeping Mike as one of the Rainbow Trout the other has to be Ike! Can't wait to see Mike & Ike’s life in your incredible pond, such an inspiring project hope to have something half as nice in my yard one day. Keep up the great work, much love from Wisconsin
Congratulations on 1 MIllion Subscribers. I can't believe it's not at least 10 Million by now. Your Content, Editing and Voice Over are all First Class. The Pond Build has been an absolute pleasure to watch. I have not missed an Episode. I came in late, but watched every single episode from start up to this one I am watching now. Then all of the wildlife that turns up is like a Massive Cherry on top. Oh then you also add the viewer interaction. You not only give us all Awesome Videos to watch you make us truly feel as though we are apart of it ourselves by letting everyone suggest the names of all your Animals and Pet Fish. Thank you so much for everything. Cheers from George in Adelaide, South Austtralia.
Agree, you do a great job of combining a lot of different traits including engineering, landscaping, fishing, wildlife and do so by integrating the viewers, listening to experts whine bringing in your own experience. Keep up the great work! Getting from Frankfurt, Germany. P.S. I think 10mio subs would be possibly but probably with more professionally produced, high paced, less regular, high impact content. But I don't think I would like that too much. Better have 1mio subs that enjoy very frequent extensive videos than 10mio drop-byers.
Mike and Ike for the trout maybe? Congrats on 1M. Came across this channel by chance and loved the idea of building a little ecosystem on your property. It's great to see that while the original goal was to get big bass, it turned into something that supports all the wildlife nearby as well.
Steven I would be honored if you could name a bass after my departed best friend, my weimaraner named "CYLIS". He was always by my side for 13 years. Saving my life keeping me going through depression and ptsd. He was an avid outdoors dog fishing, hiking, and always up for adventures. He loved going out on the boat too. Congratulations on the 1 million subsidies. I been watching since before the back yard pond. I remember the video where you wife caught the most aggressive bass in the world. The reason I love your work is I feel the understanding, respect, and curiosity for all the living things at crimson oak pond. Its so much more then big game fishing and hunting. With incredible gradetude and hopefulness. Thank you Logan Please use the unnamed C on the 4th page for my dog Cylis!
Also, just a suggestion and I really think it’s a good idea. I think you guys should place the flat part of logs cut in half the long way on the top of the eagle tower. Most eagles are on a bigger limb and it would allow more of a comfortable place to rest on. You can see how the eagle doesn’t really know where to perch up because it’s flat on top.
Sir, I appreciate the time you took to thank us, your viewers. I just wanted to return the favor and to thank you for all of the amazing content that you provide for your viewers. Unfortunately, I am physically unable to go fishing, so I live vicariously through your videos. I look forward to each new installment and am a proud subscriber. Thank you again for all that you do.
When you first started this series, this was the video I imagined you would be uploading for us eventually. I can't imagine how big the average bass will be another year from now and then the year after that. This is only the start of some really fun bass fishing content.
If you ever have time. Looks like the eagle could use something round to perch on. Something their talons can wrap around instead on sliding on the 1x4’s and only gripping their edge. A 1” dowels raised 4-6” off the platform around the perimeter like a miniature railing might help him find a good spot. Maybe even provide enough structure for them to feel comfortable building a nest. Thanks for the great footage
A cool idea: when I was in Thailand we build chicken coups over their fish ponds with bamboo and 50 gallon drums as rafts. They work amazing as shade and cover for fish and for fish feed. I’d love to see something like that at the pond.
I can't believe I've been watching bama bass since his "bass love crayfish" video. That was 12 years ago. I can officially say that I grew up on bamabass and he is living my dream. I was 6 watching bama bass, and now I'm 18. Time has flown, still remember the bass eating baby duck, the wooden duck he walked. To catching Bonnie and Clyde to building the backyard pond and now the big pond
This series is very eye opening and a wonderful study for those interested in the ins and outs of pond building ,stocking and maintenance.Those of us who accidentally tripped over you and found ourselves transfixed, are delighted with the vistas you open for us .I viewed the build from the time you were moving tons of ground about the place ,and clogging up the bottom with truck loads of clay . Such a huge undertaking certainly captured my attention and has certainly held it.
My goodness from bonnie and clyde indoors to the backyard pond and then into the 5-acre pond. Every little thing that you included along the way has been so much fun to watch!! Bringing nature together as a whole in all different aspects!!! Congrats on the 1 million, and I can't wait to see what else is in store❤
I'd like to see if Bonnie and Clyde were still swimming together. I wish you could track them without catching them. Congratulations on 1 mill bama. Well deserved!
It’s fantastic that you’ve done this big experiment and shared it with the world. Performing a similar project was the topic of many of my fishing and hunting expeditions over the years. So many of my acquaintances and friends would have relished working on such a large project. My hats off to thank you for putting the work into filming and keeping records. You are helping with the next generation of young people who enjoy natural history and environmental activities. Well done !
Congratulations on 1 million subs! You're the only youtube channel that I go out of my way to check for new videos and always leave a like. Really love being able to take a look into your life on the Crimson Oak farm.
Just wanted to add this bit of information... "String algae isn't necessarily bad. In fact, it helps keep your pond ecosystem balanced by removing nitrates and phosphates from the water. It also provides a snack for fish and other aquatic life. String algae outbreaks come and go throughout the year, and they're usually not anything to worry about." Think of it as free food. Also as your plants grow in the pond and filter the water less algae will grow for lack of nutrients. Also when in nature and you find string algae growing around springs hanging from rock cliffs you know the water is safe to drink it filters out the dirt and usually doesn't need boiled before drinking. Although boiling does add more protection drinking it. You might consider adding snails if you haven't already and to do that would depend on your area as to the best kind to use. Fish will eat them so more free food as they reproduce. If bass can eat crawdads they can and will eat snails.
@@RogueStatusX For the past 10 years I have been drinking water straight from the earth out in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. While your fear does result in near guarantee for safe water, it is also clearly quite overblown. One can safely drink water, in nature, with an understanding for how to identify it as safe.
@@RogueStatusX i been drinking from springs, streams and rivers from sources i know to be just fine, at 50+ years I'm still here and very much alive and I've never gotten sick from drinking non boiled water. Apparently some, like you, do not know the difference. I bet someone like you if in the desert would just drink anything that looked like water, not consider the fact there are cyanide pools they look like water but are deadly to drink from boiled or not. I would never suggest to anyone to drink water or anything that looks like water they weren't sure about. However that being said boil before you drink when you are unsure or worried about getting sick. You do your own research and due diligence, after all it's your life that matters.
I don't even know this guy but, I would be honored to meet him. He seems so genuine and pleasant to be around. We need more like him in the world. Love your channel bro!
Congrats on 1Mil Bama. I came on a bit before the pond build trying to learn how to fish better and those are the memories I remember seeing. The 10+ LB catch videos are some of my favorites and when you go with Liz it makes me smile because my wife's name is Liz too. She likes to fish and we watched your stuff. The pond videos have been great and it's the only series on RUclips I've actually kept up with. Keep it coming!
Mike and Maggie!! Congrats on reaching the million!! I'm not sure about the fishy part of it. I started watching because I appreciate your respect and encouragement of the wildlife and I love these amazing ponds you created which has allowed the wildlife to come. What I like best is your enthusiasm and how you are not trying to get rid of the wildlife because they eat the fish😂 I never knew there were so many critters around and love the interactions. Thanks for letting us share these wonders with you ❤
This channel is so awesome. I love the development of the pond and all of the wildlife showing up on the cameras. It's been a thrill watching you since the beginning. Congratulations on the 1 million subs! Thank you for continuing to include us all in your endeavors! I came up with a fish name for the letter Y. How about Yoshi? 😊
Congrats on 100 mil!!! Wow, awesome I want to get a pick on the fish list!!!! B - Beartastic C - Chomper Also - my hubby and I live in Seattle and found you on the Tube - I went to SCA and remember you and Liz from high school. So random we found you and now love your videos. Look forward to them every week. Cheers!
The green algae is likely due to high phosphate levels, especially with it being around farm land, you have little control over run in from flooding, rain etc. so its likely something your going to have to put up with, as others have said it would give extra foods for invertebrates and great cover for younger fish, and for the bass to hide/hunt. Loving your videos and look forward to the updates
What goes in the fishes comes out as part of the nutrient cycle. There seems to be a lack of various aquatic plants, so the algae is given a free-for-all because it has nothing else to compete with. Since wind and migrating birds haven't brought in much yet, it'd make sense to have plantings or seed areas of the pond to speed it up. Just like the fish didn't make it there on their own. That would also clear the water, and give the fish some more hiding and foraging areas.
@@pauljs75 I agree, phosphate is a little harder to control as it can depend on water quality and in this case water spilling coming from surrounding areas, as if you have an already high phosphate level then you add in the biload algae will love you for it. I do agree though more plant diversity would assist with the nutritional balance of the pond. I'm not sure how it would effect the clay lining though, which is why I'm guessing there aren't many plants planted around the banks.
WOOOOO 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 good shit dude you deserve it all, you are a super smart dude when it comes to everything, there’s so much that goes into building a pond and especially a healthy trophy bass pond like yours. It’s really hard I’ve had two ponds before and both of them were so hard to keep up on the feeding of the bass and the bass overproduced for the size of the ponds. They were all skinny and unhealthy. Also I didn’t have much money at the time so I couldn’t afford live shad and all that stuff. You nailed it tho man, I’ve watched every single minute of every single video on your channel
Thank YOU for sharing your adventures with the ponds, the inhabitants, and all the neighbors with us. Letting us see what we don't have the luck to see for ourselves.
Congratulations!! Pickle has been my choice for a minute or two. Love to see the development of the whole area from the pond builds to all the wildlife. It's been an adventure for sure.
Congrats in 1 million. Me and my roommates have followed you since you broke ground on the 5 acre pond. Even though we all moved away we all still get excited for your videos. We have been trying to name a fish for a long time and think Yoko is a great name for a bass!
I've watched the entire pond build since the beginning and loved every update. 'd like to suggest a fish name for the letter N if still available. NULLK. Congratulations on reaching 1M+
Congrats on 1M‼️‼️‼️ Had a few name ideas for the remaining letters: Boris Eight Ball Nibbles Xótchitl If you like any of these please use your favorite!
Congratulations on the 1 million and yes you guys have come a long way me and my wife used to watch you guys's videos daily and you guys inspired us and made us want to fish together and I got to tell you we had some of the best times Mike and Dottie sounds like a good parent name congratulations you too you guys are awesome
Congrats on the million! Have you thought about getting grass carp for controlling the grass and weed in the pond? They grow to a giant size. You can buy them sterilized so that they don't overpopulate, although I doubt they will overpopulate with all the Bass around 😁
Mike and Molly for the trout. We like in Fairhope. Would be interested in chatting with you sometime about what all the state and county required you to do to build the pond. Love the channel!
Congratulations on 1,000,000 subscribers! It's been a pleasure following the progress of both ponds. You have such a friendly voice. Maybe Bassel for the empty B slot?
I have been watching the pond build since day one. I'm so happy for you! I will be going on tour soon as a comedian and I would love to come by there and go fishing
I got a whole bunch of names hopefully one is good enough to make it!! A Aristotle B Bently C Comet E Excalibur N nova U unique X xoxo Y yeti Me and my wife were thinking about it for a while been watching the channel for a while it's motivating to see and hope one day can reach these same goals as you have accomplished!! Congrats on 1 millions and what the future holds!! May your pond flourish and continue to grow!!
We've been here since the full crawdad bags you dumped in a pond, and the smashed e'm on a red lipless, well over 10 years ago!! Thanks for the videos, and the amazing content!
Congrats on the million. I really enjoy the channel with the fishy stories and wild life. Mike must have a Milly in his life. Milly's pond is one of my fav trout spots here in South Africa.
maybe when the bass is big enough you could add one or two peacock bass would have been really cool maybe the winter is to cold for it im not sure. but i have to say thats a dream life you living. if i could afford it i would love to do the same here in sweden with perch insted. cant wait to see how this will unfold over the years. wish you and the pound all the best and tight lines!
How he hooked that Talapia reminds me when me and my dad were fishing the river for musky. He hooked a 2 1/2 foot carp and he thought it was a giant. The way he felt it swim was crazy. Just shows how powerful fish are.
I like to come back and watch about 2-3 months down the road and catch up on your stuff.. the bass are looking fantastic man !! They’ve grown a couple pounds since I was here last…
@BamaBass congratulations on 1 mil. you deserve it. Armadillo's have terrible eyesight so he probably wasn't aware of you until he got close. also just a heads up they are known to carry leprosy, so don't get to close lol.
Congratulations on a million followers. I started following you when you put in your back yard pond. I used to be a landscaper and put in several Aquascape ponds. It doesn’t seem like it’s been as long as it’s been since then. Always excited when a new video pops up. How about “Coral” for a fish name.
You might want to screw down some random branches sticking up from the eagle platform, to create some solid anchor points to keep the nest from being blown off. There's not a hole, or wedge point anywhere on top. Those eagles know this. Just leave enough room for a BIG nest. Love what you've built, but I'm a cold blooded Canadian, and prefer eating Pickerel, or Walleye as you call them. A fisherman's paradise, and a welcome place for wildlife. Beautiful.
CONGRATULATIONS ON 1 MILLION!!!🎉
HELL YEA
Been here for 4 years now
Yip yip YAY!🎉🎉🎉
Oh yeah babyyyyy🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
And on New Years eve!
If you’re keeping Mike as one of the Rainbow Trout the other has to be Ike! Can't wait to see Mike & Ike’s life in your incredible pond, such an inspiring project hope to have something half as nice in my yard one day. Keep up the great work, much love from Wisconsin
I suggested the same name before I saw your comment
Thirding Mike & Ike! The candy comes in all the colors of the rainbow too!
You could do Mike and Molly trout if the other is female
This gotta win
Just said that. 😂 Should had read more moments before I posted.
for the trout, Mike and Ike. congrats one mill!! y’all deserve it! thank you guys for the awesome content!!
Perfect because Mike and Ike are candies
And trout are like candy to other fish
Or dike but ike would be good because there colorful
Mike & Iko (Iko)... would be grate =)

also never drink water from dark algae on rocks like in NZ phosphates etc containamate the water looks clear but the dark algae will poison you
lmao do not listen to ANYONE who tells you water is safe to drink without boiling it before drinking.
Snails will be a good addition to the new pond as they will help to clean the rocks.

Love those names!

Ursula for U please or Ariel for A its still on the list
for my daughter who likes little mermaid 😅
Congrats in 1 million. Me and my roommates have followed you since you broke ground on the 5 acre pond. Even though we all moved away we all still get excited for your videos. We have been trying to name a fish for a long time and think Yoko is a great name for a bass!
Bass tag name letter A: AmBASSador
Ey reinfarnated as a fish
My wife says if one of the trouts is named Mike, the other has to be named Ike!
Hi... Thanks you for showing your video fish pond I really enjoy watching your video 🎄🎣🎏🐠🐟🎥👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍
You should name them mike and Ike 😂
I think a great name for one of the bass would be Ulysses as the Civil War general.
Congratulations on 1 million Bam, I've watched your videos when I was a kid. It was so entertaining thanks!
im so proud that an american called them prawns
Can I come fish with you
Fantastic work and congratulations on 1 Million subscribers!!! Ulysses would be a cool U name! Keep up the great work!!
Thanks!
Thank you!
I've watched the entire pond build since the beginning and loved every update. 'd like to suggest a fish name for the letter N if still available. NULLK.
Congratulations on reaching 1M+
That armadillo is so cool!!! I hope he/she keeps on visiting!!! Congrats on reaching 1 million! Well deserved milestone!!!
Congrats on the growing community 🎉🎉🎉. Fish name for N is Nessie short Loch Ness monster!
Congrats on 1M‼️‼️‼️
Had a few name ideas for the remaining letters:
Boris
Eight Ball
Nibbles
Xótchitl
If you like any of these please use your favorite!
YaYa for the letter "Y". Congrats on 1 million. Been here since the back yard build. Love the channel.
Congratulations on the 1 million and yes you guys have come a long way me and my wife used to watch you guys's videos daily and you guys inspired us and made us want to fish together and I got to tell you we had some of the best times Mike and Dottie sounds like a good parent name congratulations you too you guys are awesome
Fantastic series! A few more fish names to fill up the list.. A-Alexander, C-Clayton , N-Namrod. Keep up the great work!
Unnamed bass suggestion: Nermal. Trout names:Mike & Molly. How’s Moby doing in the backyard pond now? Enjoying the new digs?

Maybe Bassel for the empty B slot?
I have been watching the pond build since day one. I'm so happy for you! I will be going on tour soon as a comedian and I would love to come by there and go fishing
I got a whole bunch of names hopefully one is good enough to make it!!
A Aristotle
B Bently
C Comet
E Excalibur
N nova

Me and my wife were thinking about it for a while been watching the channel for a while it's motivating to see and hope one day can reach these same goals as you have accomplished!! Congrats on 1 millions and what the future holds!!
May your pond flourish and continue to grow!!
Living the dream. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Congratulations.
Those ponds are absolutely amazing man congratulations on such good size bass. I learned a lot from this video thank you
Congrats on the 1 million mark!🎉🤗🥳👏👏👏
Congrats on the million mark!
Low key I’m an OG and want to see some fishing outside of the pond lol
For the spread sheet letter B biggin love the videos! The trout is a cool addition to the new pond.
We've been here since the full crawdad bags you dumped in a pond, and the smashed e'm on a red lipless, well over 10 years ago!! Thanks for the videos, and the amazing content!
Wayyy back! 👊🏻
Best channel ever love watching vids after work
Greetings from Texas. Congrats on 1M... May you have many more. Take care and keep up the good work.
Loved watching this pond grow over the past year and a bit. I sugges Benjamin Blümchen as a name for a fish. good luck with your future projects
3 1/2 lbs.'rs already Nice. Congrats on 1 Million friend.
And Letter E Could be Echo😁
Congratulations on 1 million subscribers can’t believe it already been 500 days since this started. Airborne would be a sweet name for a jumpy bass
Congrats on a million . Been watching for a while now. Mike Trout and Shohei 😢 one last tandem together?
I love y’all‘s reaction and also like I said before are very smart animals they’ll get sticks and make their own tools just to get food
Congrats on the million. I really enjoy the channel with the fishy stories and wild life. Mike must have a Milly in his life. Milly's pond is one of my fav trout spots here in South Africa.
maybe when the bass is big enough you could add one or two peacock bass would have been really cool maybe the winter is to cold for it im not sure. but i have to say thats a dream life you living. if i could afford it i would love to do the same here in sweden with perch insted. cant wait to see how this will unfold over the years. wish you and the pound all the best and tight lines!
How he hooked that Talapia reminds me when me and my dad were fishing the river for musky. He hooked a 2 1/2 foot carp and he thought it was a giant. The way he felt it swim was crazy. Just shows how powerful fish are.
I like to come back and watch about 2-3 months down the road and catch up on your stuff.. the bass are looking fantastic man !! They’ve grown a couple pounds since I was here last…
Congrats with the one mil! For naming the fish, the N could it be the Neon. Keep it going!
Congratulations on finally making it to 1 million subs ! & congrats on the amazing pond
@BamaBass congratulations on 1 mil. you deserve it. Armadillo's have terrible eyesight so he probably wasn't aware of you until he got close. also just a heads up they are known to carry leprosy, so don't get to close lol.
For the trout... Travis and Trixie.. so glad I found your channel!
Congratulations on 1 million, been watching you forever now. I’d like to suggest “cappuccino” for letter c.
Congrats on a million, been around since the first fish tank vids!!❤️
Congratulations on a million followers. I started following you when you put in your back yard pond. I used to be a landscaper and put in several Aquascape ponds. It doesn’t seem like it’s been as long as it’s been since then. Always excited when a new video pops up. How about “Coral” for a fish name.
Congrats on 1 mill, this is one of the most relaxing channels to me, always excited for the next vid. Keep up the great work 🎉
You might want to screw down some random branches sticking up from the eagle platform, to create some solid anchor points to keep the nest from being blown off. There's not a hole, or wedge point anywhere on top. Those eagles know this. Just leave enough room for a BIG nest. Love what you've built, but I'm a cold blooded Canadian, and prefer eating Pickerel, or Walleye as you call them. A fisherman's paradise, and a welcome place for wildlife. Beautiful.
Congratulations on the 1 million mark🎉🎊💥 I have a suggestion for the letter N, how about Nemesis?
Congrats on 1 million! I would love to see a bass named Nibbler. Like Nibbler from futurama.
Congratulations 🎊🎉🍾🎈 ! Amazing content, Amazing subscribers 👍
