I am so glad you explained what happened to the other pond… PONDS !? I knew something had happened, but I had not investigated further. Thanks for bringing us, who were behind, up to speed.
They grow up so fast. One day, you're feeding them tiny shrimp and minnows..and the next day, you're rummaging around in its stomach to get your 3 fingers back to see if doc can reattach them.
Man, this was a tear jerker🥲❤️❤️ Watching those sweet little fish grow has been amazing. We love you, Brazos! You future kids and their kids will love him just as much as you!!!!
I remember that finger bitten video, and everybody in the comment said they were not surprised at all😂 Can't wait to see more creatures in the new pond.
I love Brazos' story! It's too bad that drought lasted so long! All the gar are so cool. But Brazos is my fav! And I am so glad that he survived jumping out of his fishy pool! I know you must feel relieved to have all the Gar in a place that you can control. ❤
Gar can use their swim bladders as rudimentary lungs. Obviously being out of the water and allowed to dry out for so long is very dangerous, but gar have a much better chance of surviving a situation like that than most other fish.
I'm so glad you stuck with it through the hard times, this new pond looks awesome and a lot easier to maintain. I had a shakey start when I had a goldfish pond that soon developed into a Koi pond, I had bad advice and the conditions were not ideal which caused maintenance problems and fish health issues. I ended up making a bigger pond 6ft deep with good filters and pump which has done me well for the last twenty years, the Koi are happy and healthy and now a good way for me to chill out and forget my worries. Looking forward to watching your pond and inhabitants settle in and planting develope.
Wow, that was so good. Thank you for sharing memory lane with us. I have been following you since before you got the Gar…. so cool.!!! Looking forward to the turtles 🐢 joining
Man, time definitely flies. It still feels like way back when we were coming up with names for every new turtle in the pond and watching slo mo bass blowouts
This is insane to see. 5 years ago I had a horrible mental situation and started watching your gar videos on a whim to cope. I was just a teen back then. I'm doing considerably better now and I'm super happy to see how well Brazos is doing. Long live both you and he!
Excellent! It really is amazing that Brazos survived out of water that long. I know catfish can survive out of water for a while but didn't know that about gar. I caught a gar once in Lake Murray, S.C., but when I got him close to the bank he thrashed around and got off the hook. At first I thought I was snagged on something. A strong fish!
you made me have a new appreciation for alligator gar. they’re so underrated and under appreciated. i remember when brazos was in a tiny little tank all those years ago. thank you so much for sharing your love for alligator gar
When I first started to watch your videos I thought it was all gonna be about the turtles (btw I hope they’re doing okay) but when I saw the alligator gar it really intrigued me and seeing Brazos grow over the last 5 years is insane and I hope him and the rest of the gar live for a very long time, well done Fish Whisperer
Wow, five years. I’ve been watching the entire journey. I love it. Congratulations on five years and I hope to see many more with you and the little ones.
Wow, you just transported me back to 2019, my favourite year! I remembered the video of baby Brazos as if it all happened yesterday! Time really has flown. Thank you for being such an amazing human being for all the animals around you and hope to watch many more of your adventures! Rest in peace Trinity 😔
I feel so happy watching this one and hearing your journey! I've been watching since about 4 years ago and i remember all about the old ponds, the failed two ponds (That the bird ravaged), and the second failed pond (That got ravaged by drought). those were heartbreaking not gonna lie Here's to the new pond! And here's to more of Brazos!
Watching you for years when you went to some small lake and fed the bass, catfish and turtles. Loved how they knew the spot you fed them and would be waiting for their next meal.
Awesome life journey of your alligator gar and you answered so many of our questions about your past ponds in this video and why you moved them. Would love to hear more about how you acquired this property and the other creatures which will be moving in there
Awesome update and story! Looking forward to more video’s when you release them! Can’t believe it’s been 5 years and they flew by. Thanks for sharing! Take care dude see you next video!
i remeber watching alot of ur videos of u just feeding ur turtles and bass in ur pond about 5 years ago and i completly forgot about this awsome channel existed. i guess the youtube algorithm decided to remind me lol.
That is so cool!! I didn't know you had them from thìs small. Brazos is lucky to have such a caring owner! You've done so much for them, put in all the energy, money and effort as you did, amazing. Glad they are in a beautiful and safe pond again. Thank for this wonderfull story and video!!
I have a friend who has a large pond in Bastrop Texas that used to be a catfish hatchery. It might be too big for what you do but it is available and I can send lots of pics. It has tons of bass and several 36 inch koi. It's totally awesome...
I was smiling the whole time bc I remember seeing all the videos and to see them together like this man how much he had grown he is absolutely beautiful ❤ they all are.
Love this so so much, I can’t believe how many years it has been!❤ I almost got a little emotional at the end you really found the best possible home for them!
I absolutely LOVE to see content like this. These animals are amazing, but so many people take fish like these and try and keep them in small home aquariums for their entire lives. Getting to see these awesome animals getting the care they need and deserve is awesome. Keep it up.
It has been five years and I was worried how long that took for making the videos. How cool were they and even the white Allegar gar, he is beautiful and how white he is
90 years old?! Wow man you’re going to be a awesome grandpa if you end up having those at 70-80 years old that would be crazy. If they survive that long, I’m sure you will still have them at that age
Started watching late into the journey. Brazos was so little when you got him. I live by the Trinity river in Ft. Worth and I am sorry to see Trinity didn’t make it. 😢 Love watching your videos and can’t wait to see more. ❤
Started watching you in college now I'm 27 and just got my first house😮 time flies man
In this economy?!
Did you win the lottery?
Incredible comments but congratulations no less.
Do you have a backyard? Big enough for a pond?? lol
tutorial???
Thankyou for sharing. Brazos grown. Im sorry about Trinity. Love watching all the gar.
Can't wait to see you riding on a 10' Brazos' back. I think he likes you.
Like Avatar way of the water
It’s been 5 years already?!?
That's fucking scary
We are living in a simulation
It's crazy I was here before the gar, and it felt like the turtle era was only 3 years ago at most.
@@EmphasisOnJ someone is fucking up the time. No way that was 5 years
They grow up so fast 😊
I am so glad you explained what happened to the other pond… PONDS !?
I knew something had happened, but I had not investigated further. Thanks for bringing us, who were behind, up to speed.
Wow, he grew like crazy
Rip trinity
It survived out of water for five hours and was even swarmed by ants? Wow is it resilient!
gar can breathe air . They evolved that ability due to living in low oxygen environments
@@commissaryarrick9670Evolution "theory" is just that... We did not go from primordial goo to you by way of the zoo.
@@ReadRomans10 What does that mean? Do you need to put the reefer down??

4:30 this is why everyone should put their fish back in the tank just incase. had dried up fish come back to life like this as well.
LOVE BRAZOS! Been around since his day one! So glad to see he’s still doing well! ❤️
I remember that finger bitten video, and everybody in the comment said they were not surprised at all😂
Can't wait to see more creatures in the new pond.
It’s amazing to see how they started from a little fish tank to a big garden pond!
I love Brazos' story! It's too bad that drought lasted so long! All the gar are so cool. But Brazos is my fav! And I am so glad that he survived jumping out of his fishy pool! I know you must feel relieved to have all the Gar in a place that you can control. ❤

@@jic1 Stone fish, some Synadontis and walking catfish can do similar feats 😅

Phantom is gorgeous! I'm so impressed with everything you're doing for your gar. Hope to follow your adventures for many years to come!
Man, time definitely flies. It still feels like way back when we were coming up with names for every new turtle in the pond and watching slo mo bass blowouts
Ive enjoyed watching Brazos for quite some time.
The relationship you have with these fish, is the stuff of dreams.
This is insane to see. 5 years ago I had a horrible mental situation and started watching your gar videos on a whim to cope. I was just a teen back then. I'm doing considerably better now and I'm super happy to see how well Brazos is doing. Long live both you and he!
That's awesome. I'm so happy for you!
Man Kyle I’ve watched those videos in 2020 and now I am just so generous to see your fish become adults in the future.
And I watched your gar videos all the time on my iphone, laptop even on my tv!
First time watching.. From the UK. I had no idea they were so long lived! Beautiful fish, I'm sure they'll love the new pond,
Excellent! It really is amazing that Brazos survived out of water that long. I know catfish can survive out of water for a while but didn't know that about gar.

Wow! I live about an hour from Lake Murray, didn't know we had gar here! That's really cool!
Gar have vascularized swim bladders that act as rudimentary lungs, that's why you can see them gulping air in so many of these videos.
Those ducks were cool. 5 yrs just flew by!

Wow, five years. I’ve been watching the entire journey. I love it. Congratulations on five years and I hope to see many more with you and the little ones.
Cool man. Been a while since i watched but enjoyed seeing the whole story

I love watching your gar and your channel grow!
Thanks for sharing with us!
I feel so happy watching this one and hearing your journey!

Here's to the new pond! And here's to more of Brazos!
So many moves, however always caring about his gar....awesome fishkeeper!!
Loved this recap. Crazy how the past few years have flown by.
I can't believe its been 5 years, seems like just yesterday. Been watching you way before the gar. I'm glad your back!!!
I have been watching since before the 2 pond move. Its really cool to see the whole history.❤
Watching you for years when you went to some small lake and fed the bass, catfish and turtles. Loved how they knew the spot you fed them and would be waiting for their next meal.
I used to watch you feed the turtles!
Very well put together video, i enjoyed it, thank you! Now lets see more turtles eat.
First time watching today. Very interesting watch as i sip me cuppa in the UK.Loved this.
Awesome life journey of your alligator gar and you answered so many of our questions about your past ponds in this video and why you moved them. Would love to hear more about how you acquired this property and the other creatures which will be moving in there

Wow, it been 5 years? It an honor included in your journey with Brazos and the other gars
Hopefully you have no issues with your new pond! Been a fan of yours since your sewer fishing videos.
Time is definitely flying. Glad you and Brazos are sharing so much with us lately.
what an absolute unit! such beautiful and fascinating creatures!
Time goes by so fast 😭😭❤
"hopefully he outlives me." brought tears to my eyes man.
Growing big fish is so rewarding.
What a ride it’s been. Wishing the best for the gar gang.
home to see you still making videos with them after 5 years again and that time turning 10 years old for Brazos🫶🏼
It's crazy to think that your grandkids could be taking care of Brazos and the others when they're well into their adulthoods lol
Holy uploads. I love this almost daily trend you have of constantly adding more content!
That was riveting 😅 Viva Brazos! Colorado, Phantom, and the rest, too!
Wow! I remember that first video, can't believe it's been that long. I hope Brazos outlives us all
Great video, God bless from Australia 🇦🇺🇳🇿🇮🇱🇨🇦🇺🇲🇬🇧📜🙏🏻⛪🗡️⚔️🛡️✊🏻💪🏻👍🏻👌🏻🎣🏇🏻

5 years!! I remember when he was a little minnow!! Time flies!! You are a good dad.

Wow 5 years already?
I remember when you got them.
One of my favorite series
I was smiling the whole time bc I remember seeing all the videos and to see them together like this man how much he had grown he is absolutely beautiful ❤ they all are.
Been awesome seeing Brazos grow, man I miss the ducks too!!
It has been such a magical experience watching your journey with these gar, I'm so greatful
What a beautiful and sweet video! 😊
Brazos is a resiliant little bugger! I'm glad he has a place to spend the rest of his life now.
Hey, just stumbled upon your channel and subscribed after seeing how much you care about your pet gar!
I forgot how small he used to be. Such a cool fish
Charlie's fumble cracked me up 😂
Love this so so much, I can’t believe how many years it has been!❤ I almost got a little emotional at the end you really found the best possible home for them!
I absolutely LOVE to see content like this. These animals are amazing, but so many people take fish like these and try and keep them in small home aquariums for their entire lives. Getting to see these awesome animals getting the care they need and deserve is awesome. Keep it up.
i love how gentle you are with them, it's so sweet
Hard to believe it's been this long. I remember them being this small. lol
Happy that you got your new pond and we may see more regular videos! All the best for you and your gar have found their / your forever home!
I can’t believe it it’s been 5 years.😭😭😭 there growing so fast.
A wonderful journey...thank you for sharing. ❤
It has been five years and I was worried how long that took for making the videos. How cool were they and even the white Allegar gar, he is beautiful and how white he is
Have been watching since a while now, its nice that u haven't given up on the pond even though it hasn't worked out for the better before...
I legit never knew big an alligator gar can get.
It's like they're competing againt lobsters.
The biggest one was 700+ pounds
PLEASE MAKE MORE TURTLE VIDEOS I LOVE TURTLES PLEASE
Brazos is my king
90 years old?! Wow man you’re going to be a awesome grandpa if you end up having those at 70-80 years old that would be crazy. If they survive that long, I’m sure you will still have them at that age
Holy crap 5 years! I remember the ponds. That Ice Storm. Crazy dosen't fell like 5 years wow
Superb content🤙🏻
Great recap of the last five years and sharing it with us! Hope this is the last move for all of them!
Crazy that it's already been 5 years
Your vids bring me so much joy
Thank you😊
The new pond is looking wonderful. I hope your gar love their new pond.
Started watching late into the journey. Brazos was so little when you got him. I live by the Trinity river in Ft. Worth and I am sorry to see Trinity didn’t make it. 😢 Love watching your videos and can’t wait to see more. ❤
wow they can live over 90 yrs. My first time hearing about this fish.
I remember when he first bit you on accident when you were feeding him. Those little teeth marks were so cute and Brazos was so innocent!
Woo hoo!
Came for the turtles stayed for gar many years ago now
Awww, it used to be such an itty bitty baby! Wow, well done! 👏👏👏
