Happy Tank Tuesday everyone 👊🏻. Comment below what you would like to see in next weeks video.
BamaBass Can you do a Frog Fishing Video Please!!!!! I miss those!!!
Pre-spawn tips!
BamaBass I want to see all you tackle!!
BamaBass So maybe a tackle review?
Use white oak. That's what catfish baskets are made out of. You still have to soak them.
Could always build a base for the letters to sit on and have the base weighted so it sinks.
B Vlogs good idea
Try doing those letters on a piece of plexiglass. drill holes in the plexiglass, screw the letters onto some bolts and bury the plexiglass in the gravel. You already drilled the holes. You can use those same holes. the bolts and plexiglass will act as an anchor.
In my tanks all wood items are anchored to slate with adhesive. Love your videos.
I used the same silicon on my salt tank and no problems. nice video!
What kind of wood is it? You may need to look up the buoyancy of the type of wood to counter it's floating rate. A long piece of PVC pipe halved lengthwise and silicone the letters to it. The open side of the pipe would snug down into the substrate, the letters should stay. if needed then also affix some slate/ rock/tile to the pipe.
Love the videos👍🏽 I look forward to every Tuesday
You could always silicone the letters each to their own little stone or piece of tile if you want to place them in random places in the tank. You could also silicone them all to one stone or piece of tile if you want them sat in a specific place
I love that name, and you’re videos! Can’t wait to see the new tank look.
Lol when you said “except for the crappie” I was thinking the same thing😂
Love the tank Tuesday videos! You should have the letters floating at different heights on some fishing line!
Bamabass what about attaching magnets on the letters and setting them on the back of the tank like and algae cleaner
You probably figured it out by now but I had a chunk of drift wood I thought It would get water logged again and sink.
It floated in my aquarium for months.
I had to bury a rock and tie it to it in the end.
A long rock (paving stones) you could tie the letters to and hide it under the substrate
do you think your fish like it in the the big tank or the wild better, and will you ever release them in to the wild again
You could use the floating letters to your advantage. You could tie a string to the bottom of each letter and let them float in the tank half way-ish up, or even a few inches up. I think that'd look pretty cool. Thoughts?
Can you use the silicon to put decoratins on the sides of the tank or would it be too unbalanced/ heavy.
What kind of food do you feed the baby catfish . What do you use for the fish tank like cleaner for the water
I mentioned siliconeing the letters to slate stone or tiles about 3 or 4 different videos they would have stood perfectly straight and they would not have been able to been bumped around then you could have grown some weeds through them or behind them
It can take a while for the letters to re-water log. I have a piece of wood i moved to a new tank that i let dry for a day and it took 3 days to resink. I would leave one of your letters in as a test.
What I have done in the past is screw a nice size piece of slate to the bottom and bury it under the gravel, so you'll not only have the weight of he slate but also the gravel above it. slate is super thin so it could be completely undetected .
Not to sound rude but I laughed my ass off when that letter floated in the tank...twice.
Very cool video!! I did some research about your water logging problem, and what you tried is all I could find. Except for one thing that said it could take many years (I hope not). That’s all I can find, I’m sorry. On the side note I would like to see how Moby would react to mini lures.
Thank you, and keep on trying!!
Always enjoy tank Tuesday
You should superglue some 1 or 2 ounce weights on the bottom of the letters and just hide it under the sand
What if you made a neon light fixture that reads Bamabass behind the aquarium, like the open signs stores use
This had to be the funniest video you've ever done, love the channel 🐠🐠
BamaBass just mount those letters to a thin flat piece of stainless and the gravel on the bottom of the tank will hold the letters down. You could even adjust how high or low they sit doing it that way
You guys made me want a tank really bad so I asked for one for my b-day and I have cichlids in it. THANK YOU
You could use fishing line and tie rocks to weight the letters down. And then hide the rocks under the gravel so you can't see the rocks
Very exited for a new aquascape video
You could have a piece of metal with holes in it and tie the letters like that and let them float or hover in the back but cover the metal with the little rocks and make it look like that
Buy some tungsten bar stock in heavier wights like four or five oz. Paint them the same color as the letters and glue the bar stock to the bottom of them.
mount the letters to a stainless steel or brass bar altogether and spaced right then drop in. cover brass bar with your sand and rock.
What kimda paint did he use because that could be keeping it from be coming waterlogged
You could always put suction cups on the back of the letters. That I would think would hold them down with no problem. No different than putting a glass temp gage in the tank. It's a thought Bama Bass.
you could always get Bama Bass made out of a sheet of stainless steel for a reasonable price! that way it will sink and look good in the tank you could even add a waterproof LED to light it up! who else would like to see that??????
Ryan Victoriano nice idea
stainless steel often has a layer of oil
What gallon of tank would you suggest for a bass like Moby and a couple 3 inch blue gills
Maybe try boiling the letters. It usually helps driftwood sink. Or tie natural rocks to it instead. Rocks bigger than the letter of course
I have never laughed at letter failures so much! *LOL*
Hey Bam are you sure use clear silicone
I was rooting for your letters to sink. You could try screwing the letters to pieces of slate rock with some stainless steel screws. I use those to weigh down larger pieces of driftwood. You can bury the slate in the substrate and it won't be so noticeable.
This is a great idea! Even though they are waterlogged, they are just too buoyant - even with the weights he added.
Moby is awesome!! Great video!
Another awesome tank Tuesday!!!
We had Bream Breed in a pond not that big, get some more and it is fun to Micro Fish in it too.
You should put suction cups on the back of each letter and stick them to the back wall of the tank.
Are you going to a smallmouth video this spring or summer like you said?
What type of bait should I use to catch bass and bluegill
Get a canister filter for that pond they sell them pretty cheap on amazon get a canister with a uv light and make sure you use carbon as a bio media inside as well as ur sponges and lava rock or whatever you may use the uv light, filtration and carbon will help clear that water up
I am frustrated with mine too. I am trying to breed Green sunfish and all they want to do is attack each other.
You should get a uv clarifier for the pond so the water can be crystal clear
How did u first start fishing for bass and why
Why not drill a small tile plate into each one? Probably can find an old tile lying around somewhere. That's what I do with new driftwood pieces until they're fully waterlogged then I remove it.
Do what we usually do for fishyanks. White light grates. Tie it to the letters. Bury white crate in gravel. Cover with gravel. Job done
Why not use some 8oz or 10oz lead snagging sinkers? I think it would look really Cool! I imagine they would need coated with something. Love the weekly videos!!
I think that you should just attach the letters to a board(s) and cover the board(s) with the tank gravel. It would make it easier to get them in and out all at once too.
Maybe try and silicone them to some of that dragon stone? It could look pretty cool. Just a thought?
For how long will you keep the bass
are the freashwater sharks still in the 55 pound tank
IDEA/SUGGESTION FOR YOUR "BAMA BASS" WOODEN LETTERS: Use some kind of metal strip that you KNOW is heavy enough to overpower the buoyancy of the wood letters. Carefully do a lay-out for where you'll need to drill holes through the metal strip so that the letters will be spaced properly when screwing the metal strip to the bottom of the BAMA BASS letters. ALSO, PRE-DRILL SMALL PILOT HOLES IN THE WOOD, SO THE SCREWS DON'T SPLIT THE WOOD. INSTALL THE SCREWS UP THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE METAL STRIP INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE LETTERS. Maybe even leave enough space a 1/2" to 3/4" space between the metal strip and the bottom of the letters, enough to HIDE the metal strip under the tank gravel, yet the letters will still be in full view above the gravel. The fish won't be able to move it, because it will all be a single piece, and the whole thing can easily be removed ( for easy cleaning ) or re-positioned elsewhere in the aquarium. PROBLEM SOLVED. ( If you were to decide to leave a space between the bottom of the letters & the metal strip to leave room for gravel to hide the strip as I suggested above, you could still use the silicone to alleviate any "play" that may result where the screws run through the metal strip. For that matter, use the silicone at every junction to make everything a nice tight fit with no movement or play. ) TIP: IF YOU CAN REMOVE THE TUNGSTEN WEIGHTS, YOU COULD STILL USE THE EXISTING HOLES YOU ALREADY DRILLED INTO THE LETTERS, AND USE THE RIGHT SIZE "BOLTS" INSTEAD OF SCREWS. AGAIN.....SILICONE COULD STILL BE USED TO MAKE EVERYTHING FIT SNUG & SOLID WHEN THE SILICONE DRIES. I believe it's looking like that is your only alternative to get those letters to stay in proper position on the bottom. Ya have to keep in mind, if you use some other method where the letters will be UN-attached from each other...........they WILL get moved & jostled around somehow, probably by the fish feeding aggressively. But if the letters all share a common base, any movement will be impossible. USE DARK COLORED METAL & HARDWARE......OR PAINT BARE SILVER COLORED METAL WITH A BROWN OR BLACK WATER-PROOF NON-TOXIC PAINT ( if such a thing is available ).........
How about some one inch wide by 3/8 thick strap steel maybe 2 ft long. Screw the letters to the strap steel.
I have a bass and a crappie the size of moby... Im sure you live in texas near me i would give them to you... Also get a siren in mobys tank they are so cool i own 2 of the
Where did you get your 300 gallon tank from
Have you ever considered making a saltwater tank with Redfish and Snook?
Pure silicone sets up under water and it will also set up in the freezer and against wet objects.
Drill holes on some tile skates and put screws to the bottom of each letter and bury the tile slates.. that’s what I do with most all my drift wood
What do u feed the minnows?
I would like to see more fishing videos from you guys..
Reminds me of stories of people trying to DIY suspending jerkbaits from days gone by. Speaking of which, wouldn't it be awesome to have the BamaBass lettering suspend?
Lol they would just sink then
I have never seen someone have so much trouble sinking wood. lol. If sinking fails, I like the suction cup idea so they can stick to the wall.
I am a new subscriber I love these vids.
What kind of wood are the letters made of?
Have you thought of using magnets to hold down the letters.
If you determined to use them, one other opinion is to use a dial rod to connect bama and then bass together. Also may can put a frog in between the letters. One soild peace. If that dont work. you going need white oak.
You should tie some suction cups to the bottom of the letters
The 'B' in Bass is upside down.........LOL.......entertaining video
If you must sink them just drill a bunch of holes. Swiss cheese them till they loose their buoyancy. Then fill the voids with silicone smooth them out with the puddy knife. And a fresh paint job. But you should probably just build a stand with dowel rods to attach them that is hidden under the substrate. Otherwise you will be forever fixing them. Your fish get pretty rowdy at feeding time.
Love your videos 5:25 "What!" too funny keep it up .
try magnets under the tank and on bottom of letters
Why didn't you use clear silicone?
Hey buddy, should've put the silicone in first before putting in the weights
You guys should tie fishing line to the bottom and have them float in the bottom of the tank like grass
Thx for the vid
another method would be to hollow out the back of the letters so it'd be less bouant... router or dremel works well
What do you feed the catfish
Tie some clear mono on to the letters and put a weight at the other end of the line and they will sink
Bama bass you should move the fish somewhere for a bit drain the tank and silicone the letters to the bottom of the tank
Bama bass what part of Alabama are u from I'm from Cullman
Maybe when you drilled the holes, added the sinker, and silicon, you created small air pockets that is causing it to float? Or at least making it hard to sink.
Why not use clear silicone?
try glueing slate to the bottom...
I just got a new 55g aquarium what should I put in it I was thinking bass bluegill and crappie
All 3 of them?No.
Especially if the bass will be the exact size of bonny and clyde when bamabass got them,And same with bluegill and crappie.
You should buy them from a pet store when they are really small.
But i highly doubt they sell bluegill and crappie.
Catch those guys small.
Since they will out grow it.
Get a 350 gallon tank when they do,
You should get ONE peacock bass for a start.
CockatielFanatic the bass would be the size of Moby and I already have a 4 inch crappie and 3 inch bluegill
well keep them,but upgrade to a REALLY big tank when they outgrow it.
Nice video enjoyed watching :)
almost at 200,000 subs!!!
When r u getting them 2 sharks back?
U should try to feed the Bonnie and Clid and sherif seafood
You should boil the letters. I did that with some drift wood and it made them sink right away.
To get the letters to sink you need to take a pressure washer and put the end of the pressure washer right in the letters and turn it on
Where did you purchase your aquarium?
screw the letters to a piece of slate. then you can set it the way you want and it will sit in the tank exactly the way you want it to sit.
Outlaw welcome to the bama bass family
