I'm pretty sure not only cleaning constantly cleaning the pound will not only be very stressful for the fish because of having to transfer them back and forth but it would also get rid of the beneficial bacteria that the fish need and it can takes a VERY long time to build it back up and it can cause different chemical to spike especially with how many fish are there I'm sure he's taking care of them...and also doing that he risks a lot more to go wrong then good and it can and has killed fish more fish produce more waste and ammonia and a lot more so maybe instead of judging just ask him or people in the comments why he has it that way

@@ksisu1324 If you have territorial fish in a tank or pond, you can remedy territorial fighting by overstocking. Including "dither fish" also helps.

Try looking up noodling. That's where people often in Oklahoma go out to certain water ways. They find an underwater hole where a cat fish might be living. Then they stick they're hands in & try to grab it. My dad told me as a kid he once caught one as big as him. Still that is a big ass pet cat fish. Also if you go noodling I've heard you need to watch out for other things in the hole. Like snappers. I don't know if you could really find a snapping turtle in there though because I'm not crazy enough to go noodling.

Hi Bobby! I wish that you are getting better with your mental health. Don’t rush to come back it’s not healthy. I also just wanted to say that your videos are awesome in general and you teach countless people about fish/wildlife. I wish you a good day Bobby and to take care!
Glad to see you getting active again with the videos. I hope that means you are feeling better in yourself. Make sure you continue to make yourself the priority. Once again, sending good vibes from the UK!
AH FISH WITHOUT ID?! THIS LOOKS LIKE A JOB FOR ME To me Bobby, it seems like it’s a Blue Catfish. They won’t get much bigger than he is now. Hope you’re doing well my friend, can’t wait till you come back!
That Catfish Habitat looks cool, but it's a Shock to me that it's being held together just by Pool Tarp. If it ever gets punctured, there's no saving all of them!😱😢
If it gets punctured you Grab your repair it, smack it on from the inside. Water stopped. Then you can either drain a Bit water or Set Up smaller Holding tubs and drain more. Depending where its located
Was the catfish fine with the transfer? I dont know shit about catfish but normally with other fish you gotta keep them in a container until they adjust to the new tempurature
We had a horrible experience with catfish. We bought two pink catfish (which are perfect for aquariums) but they were extremely hostile needing them to be separated from other fish. They kept banging onto the sides of the aquarium even though there was plenty of space for them to swim causing their whiskers to snap off. The water reeked with the stench of blood. Eventually one died. We then moved the tank to the balcony hoping that the fresh air would calm the last one's anxiety but, and we still don't know why, it's jumped literally four feet up in the air and off our balcony (and we live on the fifth floor). We've raised plenty of fish including the playful yet dominant parrot cichlids but catfish are a nightmare to tame
I would’ve done the same thing, have a “teenage” redtail about 2 feet long I hate seeing people get a catfish not knowing how big they’ll get but I’m glad you saved this one!
YO is this in Tennessee?? I swear I’ve been here before!! They have a really cute puffer fish that hangs out in one of the tanks. I love their salt and fresh water fish so much.
What does the acclimation process for a fish that big look like? Are they tough enough just to drop straight in or do you mix the water into the bucket with the fosh fron the pond?
It’s a blue catfish, they’re very territorial and eat smaller fish when they’re stressed. It’s a good thing for the koi fish that you saved the catfish and removed him from the tank.
If he doesnt stay well fed he will eat every fish in that tank when the lights go out. I had an albino cat fish for a while and when it was bed time and i shut his light off, it wasnt a couple seconds before he began vacuuming up his live minnows.

In captivity raised fish it is less of an occurrence depending how they're raised.

Can also confirm that it’s dinner and would be eaten up in hours
Glad I'm not the only looking at that big boy thinking, "Imagine the filets from sucker."

Blue catfish. Assuming you're in its native range, release it into a creek, bayou, or lake.

after extensive research i’ve come to the conclusion that he is 100% just a little guy.
You don’t quarantine him first a bit before releasing him in the pond ? Genuinely asking cause I don’t know how you check for a catfish health
Aww glad the owner decided to give you the catfish for free because they knew the catfish would be Happier in your pond❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow that catfish is really cool i like it but i have a small pond because i like big fish😅

It's common catfish consume by local people here. It has tender and tasty meat. But with that size, I don't think it'll be the same delicacy.
this guy sounds exactly like walter masterson wtf
That looks like a common Channel catfish. They get pretty big. But it could be a blue tail… not a big fish guy.
Not gonna lie, shit is metal as fuck.
It definitely looks like a common channel catfish to me
Not the wallnut from plants vs zombies
