LIVE BAIT Fishing in my Backyard Pond for GIANT Fish! 

You could put a under water light so all the bait will gravitate to it at night and the bass come and feast and you can get a better look at how much bait you have

Put some good structure in there next, some rock piles, branches, trees, etc. It will keep ur bait alive for longer and let them reproduce

Ben, please bring some ice fishing content back this winter!!!!

I think more structure for the bass and bait to hide. Also making the pond deeper little bigger will help with the bass to grow so they are just in one spot all the time.

The trout might be a little more of a hassle and more expensive, seeing as you'll most likely have to install an air pump system to keep the water highly oxygenated

They gorge themselves so I would like to see an attempt to limit out on small bluegills from a river to stock food for the bass pond!!!🎉

Install a maggot feeder like The Wooded Beardsman for growth and thickness on them fish!

The pond is so sweet!!!! Great video for sure guys!

Great video love the pond videos

Call Bob Lusk. He's the "Pond Boss".

Id love to fish with you man. Thats some exciting fishing

Start your own bait pool start growing your own bait for your pond

The longer ones are school bass and the short thick ones are solo ambush hunters and are probably eating better then the schoolers with no shad in there. Js

You need to get some big bluegills one that are to big for the bass to eat that will spawn and keep a food source in your pond..idk if you established a population of bait fish before adding the bass or not but that's always a good thing to do before adding the sport fish

By far my favorite channel, so much fun to watch

You need an oily fish like shad, or smelt to feed them bass and alot of them. Also don't fish them for a while so they put weight on

Getting a population of cray fish is good too the produce a lot and pretty fast but they should be established before adding bass

Get some goldfish in the bass pond it’ll be like butterscotch candy

Loved the fpv shots

They're all a big one!!!

I love to descale, gut, and season bluegills then throw them in a turkey fryer. Taste so good

Maybe add an aerator in an accessible area so the minnows and bluegill congregate there. Then the bass know where to go for snack time. 🤙

Awesome right in your back yard. You managing it well. Wouldn't mind fishing with ya for a couple hours.

You can put a dock out in youre pond and move youre feeder to the middle. it makes it so the prey source has to come away from cover and is easier to get

You got a killer property down there dude, major level up from Nebraska im assuming 🤙

Who's flying FPV now eh? The Slaw?! haha nice

Add some more shiners! These fish need some more to eat. Also structure.

Wut up Ben, Slaw, and Mfers!!! Gonna have some Share Lunkers in there before you know it!!

Good Stuff Mfer and ColeSlaw 💥💥🇺🇸🇺🇸

You should think about connecting the two ponds together then install a bridge

Maybe the bass are content on just grazing since theres no other predators to contend with so there not eating everything that comes by and very slowly growing, but that's a hard one because another predator might eat to much then bass wont grow much either

Would love to show you some ponds in the local area where I’ve caught some BIGS

You need to trim down some of that grass on the edge . And put a solor fountain to air rate a little . And get more minnows.

Nice video Benita.

Maybe the ones that where thin where ones you’ve broke off on and they are passing hooks. 🤔

My MAN!!!!💚🌲😎🌳

Cole spotter.😂

Try to find pay lakes around your area that have shad in them cause the owners normally don’t want the shad in their

You should have tagged a few before you stocked the pond with bait fish! I want to know how big a few would get over time haha

Cute pony…..lol

SICK!!

That's crazy even with all that bait you put in they are all skinny. Its confusing.

Feel like you should maybe stock more often

I guess you just need even more bait.

Are these ponds all fed by only run off, or is there a spring coming in as well?

Oxygen is key to healthy fish..need some structure, branches,boulders ect .once that grass dies Fun vid,gotta love catching your own bass

Dude you said you caught a PB and an amazing stringer a couple weeks ago. I’m sure it coming…… but when?!?!?!??!???!??!!??!!??!!?!!??!!??

Badass

Already know this a w video

Ben!!! Who won the contest? Haven’t seen an announcement

Your pond is looking good! What do you use to control the lily pads?

Yesterday I caught a ten pounder

Can you stock crayfish in the ponds?

Why don’t breed shad in the small pond and then net them in the big pond as needed?

Bigger animal, more weight and size to move, more energy required, more food needed.

YOU BETT 🤘

Different food source like shad

The pleasure pond

Hey Ben

🐐

Load up the pond with crawfish

If you ever in north Mississippi give me a shout. I got 600 acres with 10 ponds on the place. And 3 of the biggest lakes in Mississippi is right by my house. Closest one is 15 minutes second being 25 minutes and the third being 40 minutes. And have 3 private likes I got permission to fish. Plus Mississippi has the cheapest non residential fishing license in the country. And known around the world for big crappie the world record crappie was caught in Enid lake. Which is the second farthest from my house. And it’s not hard to catch a 4+ crappie in Grenada lake. Big bass and 5 pound small mouth also.

Throw like 400 hot dogs in there toss couple bass in the other pond

Hey 👋

I can say there’s no lead in your bass

You need to do some more pond fishing stuff for us pond / bank beaters

put the skinny ones in the other pond

instead of putting all the bass in the one pond why don't you take the ones that are skinny and put them in the other pond to fatten up then move them back at a later Day

big bass says 'bubububububbbt bubbbubbbles (oxygen) please

Thanks, I don't want anything.

Are you not doing anything to the lower pound I know u have two pounds what about the bass in that pound what you going to let them do die out an restock it with some new bass

Lol

None of those fish are thicker.

Yo pondz needz a lot mo food, brah. 10 lbs headz an fo lb bodies.
