Installing an underground well and will be pumping water into the pond next week!
The Peanut Oak Fishing Hole 🥜🌳🎣
Great series btw👍
Peanut Oak Pond
so excited for you wish i had ur life
Lovin oak lake for the love Bonnie and Clyde possessed and the big old oak tree
So exciting to see it come together cant wait to see you have the winner flown out to "peanut tree pond"😉
Plant a cypress tree on the island to keep it from eroding and the cypress roots make good structure and will hold fish
As a deer hunter, I can tell you that those deer are comfortable. They are frolicking and enjoying themselves. You've created a sanctuary for them and the frolicking is a testament. Good for you man.
Yep they wander through our neighborhoods like that where I live in The Hill Country here in Texas. Everyone feeds them and we get to watch all the fawns all spring and summer. Cute little buggers lol.
Have yall ever tried frolicking before? Shits wonderful 😂
@@tiddiesprinkles LOL
,I am a total rookie. I tend to like to do some things in excess. I am wondering if making the pond deeper would make it better?
@@kerrytoby7041
He already addressed this in a previous video, the issue with making a relatively small body of water (like this pond) really deep is theres not enough water circulation in those deep areas. This can cause a ton of low oxygen water to build up in those deep areas, and when the temperature becomes cooler in the fall all that deoxygenated water rises to the surface and can kill all your fish.
First it was a day by day 10x time speed building of a hospital in San Francisco to now watching someone build a pond and looking forward to the next episode. Thanks, this got my mind off all the crap going on in the world.
Shaping up, id bury those big oak logs that are standing up in the ground or anchor them down. they will still float like a cork till they become water logged
The pond master has spoken, lol. I'm sure you've seen it happen a few times Chris with the number of ponds you have built over the years.
Thanks bud and I'll get them anchored down soon. My question to you is will the Oak Throne float? If so I don't think I have anything heavy enough to keep it from floating! You ever sunk a root system that big?
@@BamaBass Incase the bottom of it with concrete like the ocean pier posts
@@BamaBass you'll have to find out if it does or not when it rains and I dont think it will but it might be barely floating and then maybe it will be a portable bait safe haven and float around
Chris in the house!
idk if this has been said yet, but please put a grate over the vertical standpipe. It looks wide enough for someone to fall into - could be very dangerous if someone falls into it and there's water coming down.
The grate will also keep floating debris from clogging the drain pipe.
How are you supposed to get rid of the bodies of trespassers then?
@@michaelgoettsch7744 that’s what the coyotes and hogs are for.
In all seriousness, adding a grate is a good idea.
@@michaelgoettsch7744 That’s funny🙂. More cinder blocks?
You should put some peat gravel/sand mix in the middle of the circle brush pile then they can have a safe place to spawn so youll get alott of baby bluegill
Do a timelapse as it is filled! It will help to show the different depths in better detail
Edit: also it’s absolutely insane how fast you’re getting these out! Rock on
This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen on RUclips God bless you and your family thank God for people like you
Best Diy project currently on RUclips, love the creativity. Keep up the great work
DIY?
@@MrEazyE357 do it yourself
This isn't DIY at all, he has the name of the company who built the pond in the description.
You really gotta make these videos longer. This is gonna be the hardest week of my life
This pond must have an unlimited budget!!!!
You should place a mechanical 'Loch Ness Monster Head' in the lake that is triggered and pops up out of the water whenever uninvited anglers come around. That'll end their poaching real quick!
Hahaha
And make it autonomous so it can chase a canoe around the pond!
Wonder if he could get Earnest T Bass to run it for him?
And put a gun on it
@@Guerrilla727 America
You should put a screen mesh around the valve opening at the bottom of your standpipe to protect some of the smaller fish from going out
I was hoping to see a concrete structure for the standpipe. It’s going to be a pain to keep clearing that tiny thing off
@@AW-yv9sq I was thinking the same thing
Turtles. Turtles will clog that pipe with a quickness.
I don't fish but I really enjoy your videos with all your knowledge.
I understand that hunting the deer is not only great for the freezer but in a lot of areas necessary to control the herd size. BUT it's nice to see Bambi and her children frolicking in the meadows! LOL 😆🤣😂
there is a third type , they make metal and cement "trees" for ponds that makes permanent structure for bait and game fish.
I hate those things for some reason.
@@MrEazyE357 doesn’t feel as natural and real lol
It works I have seen them
I genuinely look forward to each of these! Nicely done man!
My pastor preached about the Living Water this moring at church. He said where ever water is there is life. After watching all of your videos I witnessed that very thing. How different types of animals and birds started a new life at a new place. Man God is good. Thanks for the video.
this is about to become the dream pond of youtube
I have loved this series and look forward to every sunday cant wait to see it done and you fishing on it
Bugger the fishing, the duck shooting will be epic
Amen!
I was thinking for the deep area of the pond to add a floating aerator and maybe set it up with solar. Should keep the deep area will oxygenated.
We are planning on adding one or two. Probably next Summer.
@@BamaBass Big rocks, small pump, to make a small water fall on one side of the island. Oxygen created and hiding places for bait fish.
Some nice structures there. Those were some nice ideas. I'm anxious to see some underwater footage once it's finished! 😎
Anyone know if he's doing the same thing with the plants and water lilies like he did in the backyard pond?
This pond build series has been so interesting to watch. I’ve enjoyed it greatly.
Man the dugout is a slick idea. Never seen or heard of anything like that, simple and effective idea.
Can't wait to see "fishing the 5 acre pond"
I found this channel when they were getting the backyard pond built now a whole lake
Same
Correction: “5 acre bass pond” lol
@@jordanmiller8622 you're right LOL
Probably my fav series of any RUclips videos I’ve ever watched. I’ve never been so jealous. 😂
You should plant a big willow tree on the island, it will offer shade for the fish and in big storms branches will fall off and make shelter.
I think a sign for the vertical drain pipe might be cool. Maybe call it Sheriff's Spillway?
Can’t wait to see the fish stocking video!
It’s amazing to watch you 4 years ago to now a 5 acre pond!
Thought it be cool to build a sub water line plexiglass sitting area in the pond. You be able to sit in your pond and watch it like a huge aquarium.
Can’t wait to see the end results
Watching this series like a tv show been fun so far 👍🏼👍🏼
I’m blown away how fast this pond build is coming along!
Can’t wait for the water to fill up
New sub here. I’m neither a fisherman nor a hunter but I’m fascinated by these videos.
Joshua Hasson: If you are watching these videos you will be fishing and hunting before you know it. there are a lot men who who truly love to mentor new comers into wide world of the outdoors. I suggest contacting your local game warden, he/she will more than likely know someone to help get you started on adventures that will never cease to amaze you. I know because I have helped numerous kids and adults alike to get started.
PLEASE, PLEASE, keep these coming!!!! This is my dream one day. So satisfying.
so friggin sweet watching this come together. WATER!!!!
Just random cinder blocks thrown and stacked everywhere will be plenty cover for fish and its cheap. All the fish farms around me use them in their giant pools to keep the fish safe from birds and from the sun. Works great!
You have to be careful, using organic as much as possible is best, cinder blocks have alot of chemicals that throw of PH, given it would be diluted but it's best to use natural when able.
@@stefandwoodham i agree 100% i was just mentioning it since he is using so many cinder blocks anyway to hold everything down lol
The Fathead minnows will love the hut and the concrete cinder blocks. When spawning they lay their eggs on the underside of objects, logs, rock ledges, the holes in the blocks etc. The hay bale rack is a unique idea too. This is going to be a GREAT mini lake rather than a pond... Hopefully you will have enough water to start stocking your bait fish by November, then Bass by June. What type of native aquatic vegetation are you going to plant in and around the Mini Lake? Thank you for sharing 🍺 🎣
This pond building series is the coolest thing ever. I have a dream to one day build a pond of my own so I find this so fascinating. I can't wait to see put fish in their new home.
You should add some Boulder piles! Lovely setup!
Falling Oak would be a cool name for the pond! Such an incredible project!
Hey y'all i have a suggestion for your overflow pipe. you may want to place mesh screen around the that drain valve. when you lower the pond level a lot of fish will go down stream when you open it. lowering 2 feet of water over 5 acres is a lot of cubic feet of water. love the build, can't wait to get started on my 4 acre pond.
You can't put it on the valve. Debris and fish would clog it up.
@@stuwest5862 I agree, you can't put it on the valve. it would also impede the operation of the valve. but you can build a re-bar type basket that is spaced out away from the valve and surrounds it. I would also attach expanded type metal to keep debris and fish a safe distance from exiting valve/pond. I apologize for any mis-comunnication, I didn't want to go into too deep of details in my original comment. could get boring real fast! What are you suggestions I am open to learning form your ideas.
@@calf6349 Putting any type of restriction after the valve won't work and is pointless. A grate would have to be before the intake and anything small enough to keep fish out will just get clogged anyway. What he needs is a cage up top to keep out large debris like branches. Since it pulls directly from the surface any fish loss if at all would be minimal.
@@stuwest5862 thanks for the info! sounds to me like it would have been better to put in a larger discharge pipe through the dam to match the diameter of vertical level pipe, do away with the manual gate valve and make sure you have a good quality cage/scupper on top to catch debris at the surface. I hope I am catching on.
No idea how I stumbled in your channel, but I LOVE your videos! I fish trout in small Rocky Mountain creeks and high altitude lakes here in Colorado. I love your voice and the relaxing slow cadence, the construction, attention to detail, and the obvious love you have for what you’re doing.
Yep I’m so glad I stumbled upon him myself. Seriously don’t know how he doesn’t have over 1 M subs yet.
Most peaceful channel on RUclips. Forsure.
That oak stump is such a great idea I think I would have found a couple more to stick in there.
Wow what a great series.... can't wait to see the grass all grown out with the lake completely full...and the tagging of Bonnie and Clyde.. watching their release of will be bitter sweet
I am thinking about building a pond on my property so I am very glad you are covering the process that goes into it. Loving the videos man!
Agree I’m looking forward to see the cost of this so I have an idea I’m looking to do a 3-5 acre pond
You should buy a few big sacks of crawfish and Release them in the pond.
2:55 the vertical standpipe is a brilliant piece of old school technology. Love it 😀😍
that big tree root is nice i can only imagine thays like a mansion for fish ahaha so cool cant wait to see this filled up and see the stocking video
honestly cannot get enough of this series!
First time I watched one of your videos was when you got Moby. Can't wait to see the pond at the end really really like this series
You can plant Carolina Gold Heirloom Rice in the pond and the ducks will feed off of this. You can also sell these rice seeds for $2 per gram or harvest for your food. A shoreline rice crop will give protection for your bait fish and strengthen your walls.
You should consider buying car/boat hulls from a breakers yard and sink them that way you're adding structure for the larger fish as well as a place for catfish to hang out during the day, I know it is mainly a bass pond but from the ponds that I have experience with on properties you want some catfish in there as a cleanup crew.
That will also help give off a lot of shade
Catfish will dig holes in the clay liner though. Maybe some Buffalo carp or something like that would be a good bottom feeder to keep things clean. He could also do something cool and unique like sturgeon.
Old bathtubs would work well, too.
Just watching the progress of the pond has been amazing. I don't want the videos to end.
You should put a few bigger logs vertically where some of the major brushpiles are for suspending fish, and to mark where the piles are for future fishing.
Sir it’s going to be amazing. Your a very blessed man. I just started watching ur videos. I had surgery at the VA Hospital and after I came across ur pond #2 and instantly subscribed!!!!!!
Good luck on your recovery Colin, and thank you very much for your service!
That vertical pipe with the valve option for before large storms is pretty dang genius!
I have to say this series has been one of the most interesting things I've seen on RUclips....
I have no idea why I find these videos fascinating but I do...thanks for sharing.
You should make a sign with the name of the pond and an arrow towards it with how many miles away like a highway sign. Love the content keep it up!
been watching the process on and off, originally I was planning on attempting to find a waterfront property when I buy but now you have inspired me to just buy land and get a bass pond built. For more structure, you should volunteer as a dumping site for Christmas trees, stick those in there.
Man I always look forward to the next video. I started watching the first one the day after it was posted and now I'm hooked just watching to see the progress. Keep posting them up
Don't forget the Boat Dock & Bait Shack ..... and Classic Out House. LOOKIN' Great !
So your channel and this series has made me interested in ponds and fish. I don't know why I was suggested these videos to begin with but thank you RUclips algorithm for once again suggesting something that I didn't know I needed in my life. keep up the good work.
Man so excited to see this thing come together. What a great job at showing everything step by step. This is and has been a dream of mine. So cool!
Can’t wait to see the “Bonnie and Clyde bass factory” full of water 😉. Love to see the progress 🎣🎣👍🏻
1 of the most thought out ponds.
Having 4 kids I absolutely do not have time right now to get sucked into this, but I'm liking and subbing so I can get the chance to watch this.
Can't wait to see this...
Hell of a project. It's been a joy to watch.
Really great videos! Will help all the wildlife in the area! Great job! Loving the series!
Boy, you sure got some great workers‼️💯🌹
This is literally my dream, you are so lucky, good luck!
I was so excited for this next installment of this series!!! The pond is coming along so well. Each time I watch one of these videos I become even more relaxed. Not sure why I’m so calmed by them. Probably the narration has a lot to do with it!! Btw who are the 13 people that gave this a thumbs down? What is wrong with you people?
Jealousy would be my guess.
Not sure if anyone’s mentioned this but be careful with the vertical standpipe, never try to go out and open that valve if a lot of water is already pouring in. The force around those can be really intense and will suck any kayak or boat right to it and cause more problems for your pond and your safety
Love these Video's.. They are just Honest, no Hidden agenda and it's Fun to watch the Pond being built out of one mans dream..... I have never really Fished before but I can't wait to see how this works out six months from now...
This has been such an educational series about the planning and bringing a pond to life. I personally can't wait to see the pond all full of water with the fish and fauna thriving!!
I'm new to you tube. Seen a title about building a five acre pond, thought who does that? So I watched it and watched all your other videos, didn't know you were spending that kind of money on a couple of fish he he he! Your vids are better than National geographic! Thanks for the entertainment!!
Welcome to the Internet!
im excited to see how this turns out... this has to be a hefty price making all this
What a cool project? Imagine your own lake! Unreal
This is bad ass how much effort is going into this
Once the pond is filled up and has had time to settle and clear up, you should totally go snorkeling with a go pro and film some great underwater shots
Wonder if the clay lining will keep it a bit murky and difficult to see for distance?
This has been such an awesome build to watch. I can’t want to see this thing completed. Great series.
Every time I watch one of these I already can not wait for next week
Being that the throne is a root system, it is created too, and has been absobing water, for years. It's make up is to absorb. Therefore it will not float. The chemical make up of the throne is root made to anchor the tree. On a side note, you should check into setting up an auto fill system via the well. So, if you get a hot dry summer of little rain when the level gets to low the system triggers the well to fill the pond. Does 2 things. Keeps the water fresh and aerates the pond. You also should consider some type of an aerator to help circulate the water. Bait fish love bubbles! Don't forget the name " Water of Life Pond" (day 2 build comment)
This is so exciting. Like playing god, in a totally non offensive manor.
Awesome project!
can't wait to see the finished product! i love the way you had your backyard pond set up, it looks so natural and real so i can only imagine how badass this one is going to turn out!
i was a die hard fisherman growing up i can,t fish anymore but love u vids they are great can,t wait to see u add the bass too it i always wanted a lake or pound myself .
Very nice pond maybe drill a hole in the shade shack so bubbles can't get under it but very cool so far👍👍very nice
We’ve been really enjoying watching the progression of this pond build!
This is so cool. You're so fortunate to be able to build something like this. Thank you for sharing the whole experience with everyone.
I added standing canes to my pond and the fish really loved it . Put 10 to 15 or more in a bucket and fill with concrete . They last for years. Great surface cover as well .
I’m addicted to this pond build
Was waiting all day for this!
Hey. I have been watching your channel since the pond build with Aquascape. I am loving seeing this project of yours coming together. Such a long process I can see, but do understand. Looking forward to seeing the future videos.
thank you
That's sweet looking pond
You boys are some bad ass people!
