In this video, I cast net gizzard shad to feed to my pet alligator gar. The alligator gar are getting huge and some are close to three feet long. Thanks for watching!
For the impatient viewers, Kyle cannot snap his fingers and instantly produce an ideal pond habitat. These are newly dug ponds which will require a lot of time and effort to get them into shape. 👍🏻🦆🐢🐟
Right? He's shown plants he's put in on more than one occasion, and other things he's doing to help the ponds develop. But people STILL keep commenting on how he needs to do all that, as if it should be a lush forest by now. 🤷🏼♀️
I’ve really missed the cast netting videos! It’s probably a close second to the old videos of the turtle feedings! I truly miss watching those little rascals scamper about and try to steal an entire bag of shad!!! 🥺
I think the turtles are reluctant to come feeding because they have to travel a long way through shallow clear water, leaving them exposed. I think they would be much more comfortable if you had a sharp drop of right at the bank. So they can come up and leave easily, from and into cover. Would help to add some plants too. This would be a nice project for some videos.
The turtle feedings are greatly missed. Some turtle-centric videos would be greatly appreciated. Try to improve their environment with more aquatic plants and cover.
I never thought I would find aquaculture videos entertaining and relaxing. Watching someone so in tune with nature just tend to a pond and explain all the creatures is a great way to relax in the evening.
Yes, I've wondered if the turtles remember getting captured and moved from their home after taking food from him. They may be reluctant to trust again. 🐢
I love how you work so very hard for this pond but also your live fish. It’s quite honorably too be honest and I think your videos are very outstanding as well.
Enjoy all your videos! As some others have mentioned, I would love to see you slowly add some landscaping around your beautiful ponds…rocks, willow trees, grasses, maybe plant some Texas bluebonnet seeds and other wildflowers.
I love the ducks & the fish! I hope the turtles are ok. I hope you get some rain soon or you might need to get someone to bring water in. How does that work? Is it conditioned or does it come from another pond?
VIDEO IDEA: get a underwater DRONE and swim around to see if we can capture underwater gar feeding footage, or just set up a underwater go-pro submerged on a pole so we can watch all the fish (and turtles) feed underwater.. THANKS MAN I LOVE YOUR VIDS
With your calm and patient demeanor, it seems like you'd be a good teacher. Have you thought about doing fishing-related tutorials. Like how to cast net fish, what to look for in a good fishing spot, tips and tricks for different types of fishing. Gear reviews of stuff you personally love to use?
Remember Just a suggestion in January try and get some Christmas trees to put in your ponds for cover for your bluegill and minnows and other bait fish you may have in ponds Just submerge them below the water line off the banks or wherever suitable for you they last a couple three year and they are biodegradable
