Nice place for wounded warriors to come to. They sure would appreciate an invite I'm sure.
My only feedback is to change the color to something more subdued.
That's really cool.
Send one to me I got a buddy that has a huge farm and has 3 chicken houses so maybe they can see how yall can branch it into the meat side of agg
Seems like it would be useful for animal husbandry as well. Or for those that raise reptiles and amphibians that require different climates they have to monitor.
AntsCanada in the morning and BamaBass in the evenings. Awesome Sunday episodes that rival and surpass anything on TV.
The cricket rap had me rolling this morning, lol
@@realangiechristlmao
😂😂😂 I’m so glad I saw this comment
I don’t even watch tv anymore.
Love both series
Its hard to tell from just a short video clip, but just in case, you should contact an arborist or some other expert to make sure it isnt oak wilt. Cause if it by chance is, you need to get rid if the tree before the fungal infection spreads. Most likely its just winter die back, however if it isnt, swift and decisive action will be important to saving the rest of your oaks.
Your comment needs to be higher up! Oak wilt is no joke and could potentially decimate your other oaks @bamabass
@bamabass!!! Please read this
@bamabass read it please
Greetings from Switzerland. Absolutely love my dose of BamaBass. Have followed this project from the first episode and enjoyed every episode.. Thank you
I just got back from first time in Switzerland a few weeks back. It was beautiful
You should make a flower meadow in the big empty field that would be cool
Oh yes! Thousands of different wildflowers, just throw seeds out there. Beautiful idea.
Definitely!
Bees and other pollinators would be a good call in general right now to further your micro ecosystem.
100% it would be beautiful…and also attract even More ‘fish food’…could even have a few beehives. That would be a brilliant addition to the videos.
With beehives, that would be awesome. Live cam watch of the bees. Flip from fish to bees 😂
The oak could be in shock due to transport and the planting process , if the root ball is significantly damaged it could cause some of the limbs to suddenly die. If that is the problem simply prune the dead branch back to the green above the selected knode. You can put a plant stimulator on the fresh cut but that usually isn't necessary. We love the work you've put into this project , very rewarding. Looking forward to the next vid. 👍
I was going to comment something similar as well , while transporting in the truck with the wind often damaging the treetops
Agreed also since it was the first winter planted it could have killed those branches.
Loved the dramatic almost "jaws-like" music at 15 minutes along with the dramatic bass leaps. Great use of tech for many purposes, not only your own. That's a main reason I love watching your nature haven take shape. I'm a retired wildlife bio and I'm so appreciative of your successes.
This didn't look like it was at the new lake.
@@catch_me_outside_how_bout_dat I think it was an old compilation.
Editing error?
@@ryanfernandes7627 I doubt it, I think it was just a callback for the longtime fans.
That dog rolling in the sand is just hilarious. Haha the trespassing dog!
Good boy!
It reminded me of an older chocolate lab type, seemed to have weight right where the old ones gain it. Sure was loving life at his own private lake and beach. One happy doggo!
Tresspawsing - the name for the dog. 😅
@@tavosbellyclever 😂😂
made me laugh, reminds me of my goofy lab
Wow, that water clarity is amazing once you got the bog filter cleaned out!
Excellent end to the weekend with a BamaBass posting!!!
Its called Oak Wilt. The tree is dying from the top down as it has blocked water flow
Could be that some of the roots got damaged during transplantation. Oak wilt will discolored the leaves in a specific manner
I read an article that said not to trim an oak between February and July as it can lead to oak wilt.
The Eagle sitting on the stick would make a beautiful picture.
I would say a painting or sculpture of it might be an awesome addition to the lodge....
I agree I bet you you could get many beautiful pictures and put them up on to your merch
FieldBot ideas: - Add a speaker/siren and use to keep foxes away from the henhouse (figuratively or literally). A motion sensor and remote camera would allow some control there. - Same features as above, but use for human security. Actuators to open/close remote gates, speak to trespassers, etc. - Remote gate cameras/actuators could control livestock movement from one area to another. - Use to actuate/monitor feral hog traps. - "Quick Deploy" version could be used by hunters. Place FieldBot some distance away and use noisemaking feature when game is between hunter and FieldBot, moving game towards hunter. - "Quick Deploy" version could have uses for law enforcement, surveillance, robotics, the sky's the limit really.
Absolutely one of the greatest pond build series ever. Thank you for these awesome videos.
FieldBot, is a SMART idea. Love it. You guys are not messing around.
It could be girdling roots around the bottom of those trees. It usually starves the top of the tree first. But common on a ball root system.
Fieldbot could easily be adapted to a number of indoor animal husbandry situations as well as outdoor. A solution to monitor say temperature, humidity, air flow/ventilation that would normally require a number of proprietary devices, would allow a customized central hub that could be deployed quickly and with sensors that are commonly available, could greatly improve commercial/residential outcomes. I look forward to seeing what can be done with this! Fantastic ideas!
The epic music during that popping frog, blowup portion is amazing! I need to know the song title to put it on one if my playlists!!
Crows and ravens are really fascinating. Very intelligent birds. Watched some documentaries about them a few years ago. Whole new appreciation for them.
My favorite video from this channel so far
All these months I have been watching and seeing the random dog gave me the biggest smile yet 😂
Toad dangling game is strong with bamabass!! Still love my ole TD shirt!
Haha, we got an OG here!
@@BamaBass yessir! So excited to see some of those big top water blow ups you’re known for!
Field Bot is super cool. Truly innovative.
I cannot express how much I appreciate your channel and the ways it’s grown over the years. You are always taking on new and exciting projects that generate such unique and valuable content. Truly one of a kind. Thank you.
Fantastic video! You’ve built quite the fishing and wildlife sanctuary. I love seeing your new projects. Ty
Just a few comments on your work project: 1) I think it’s a fantastic idea 2) consider using LORA for data transmission. 3) For the pond, you could setup a SQL database that reads in data on the pond. With the stored data you could have a machine learning algorithm running on a jetson nano/ raspberry pi that can make prediction models. (Ex: if you haven’t had rain in a week and the daytime temp is 80 or higher, you may need to turn on the well even if it hasn’t reached the water level sensor yet). These are obviously far-fetched ideas, but you could make this a very cool pond management tool. You could even implement your fish finding sensors and map fish habits based on temperature, humidity, weather, etc.
These videos bring me so much relaxation & joy
This is beautiful constructive work you do! Thank you for sharing the film.
I find something so soothing watching your videos. I love it all. Thank you for sharing and doing all of this awesome stuff!
I love to see the dedication and effort you put into making these videos, and especially with other side projects that make this job that much more difficult. Huge props to you and I look forward to seeing what you have got planned next!
Wow - the Field Bot seems to have endless applications. Amazing stuff!
I so appreciate your wholesome and positive content. Please keep this going.
Thanks for the video! Take care,be happy and God Bless!!!❤😊
Crows are not a threat to eagles, but great horned owls definitely are. Lots of birds mob hawks and eagles including crows and shrikes, but owls will blast them right off their perches and can injure them. If you watch the famous SWFL bald eagle cam you can see this. There are several instances of it recorded on video. It just happened there a few days ago to a three month old eaglet E23. If you want eagles to nest on the platform you'll likely need to build a five x five foot starter nest anchored with wire rope. Bear in mind though it's a metaphysical certitude that Al Capone (likely Alice Capone given females are always larger in owls, eagles and other raptors) will attack them. But that is common and the eagles will reluctantly live with it as they do in many other places. You should add more perches under the platform so eagles can land without hitting the ground if Alice Capone blasts one during the night.
Nut vs Nut warfare! The squirrel ain’t playing!! 😂
Thanks for the Toad Dangler clips! Pond looks amazing.
Thank you for the video, enjoyed watching. That FieldBot is amazing, I'm sure you will find all kinds of uses for it out around the pond.
We’re calling the dog Snoop.
Awesome job.. thanks for all you do
Bravo,, the field bot has many uses,,, from farming to pond mgmt...this will prove to be very handy.......👍👍
Great episode, thanks. I always enjoy the fishing segment and especially the tagging system indicating caught or never been caught before fish. I realize it would be more editing but updates on names, weight change, location and or number of times caught would be great. You have done it in the past and I always enjoyed it. Thanks again, your one of only a few series that I really look forward to. Cheers
So funny talking about oak trees on a pond/fish channel, lol...but you should look into oak wilt or crown rot which both of those are usually seen in spring/early summer. Also you might want to see if it's possible that the trees might have been planted too deep. Everything looks amazing, congratulations on all these massive accomplishments! That field bot is pretty awesome!
Glad to see you found a top Aussie company to work with, we've got lots of them. Cheers
First the Hill's Hoist and Sunshine Harvester and now the Field Bot. Excellent! Aussie Aussie Aussie !!! Oi! Oi! Oi!
Wow Steven, e everything is flourishing and looking amazing, you have really achieved something truly extraordinary on your peanut farm. Kudos to you and everyone who has helped on these amazing projects. Keep up the incredible work. 🙏
The Fieldbots are very cool. I could see them becoming a big thing in many different fields. I’d say you’ll be seeing companies copy this idea real quick.
Yesssss!! Mid way point. That music starts.. time to get pumped!!!! Rewinding it one more time!!! Bum bum, bum bum bumm!!!
Wonderful as always. Thank you so much for sharing.
If i could like your videos multiple times to show my support id be clicking away! Great stuff as always👏
Love the feeding in mini pond maybe a polarized lens would be awesome
Could you get the robot to top up the picnic table when it gets low? Have you seen Mark Rober? He builds obstacle courses in his backyard for squirrels. A collab would be awesome.
I really appreciate that montage. The audio was the cherry on top😮💨
Dang, when you shared the moral of the story of the Eagle and Crow it made me cry. Wasn't expecting that from this video!
Hey Bama, It was nice to meet you last week at Bass Pro Shops! Glad I could finally say hi in person after watching you for a decade.
Nice to meet you 👊🏻
@@BamaBass 😃
Maybe put some 2x6 around the eagle nest? Help them out , MIni perches?
Love the vids. Such a beautiful place. Caught me a couple of good Bass in a little pond last week. Always fun. God Bless.
I like your chuckle when you catch a bass 😊 23:31 for example
Would love to see you catch some bluegills and see how big they have gotten
Best 25 minutes of my week as always mate.
Great for the Sunday scares
Dude, FieldBot looks awesome. Way to go to you and the team! Love the pond updates as always.
love the videos. been here since the start! keep em coming would love to come out and hang by the pond some day with you!
IDEA TO SEE FISH BETTER: There's a special angle in physics called brewsters angle. When you have two materials with different index of refraction there is one angle where the light that makes it into your eye, or a camera, has no reflective part and only the transmitted part coming from underneath the water. For the water air interaction this is about 53 degrees from the perpendicular axis to the water. It would be a cool expereiment to try to set up a camera at that angle looking into the small pond and we should see straight through the water like glass to all the fish underneath with no reflections from the clouds.
Love the content!!!!!!!!! Keep it up!!!!!!
Absolute amazing video as usual. Thanks!
Love the tech!!!! Congrats!
Love these vids. Thanks! ❤
Congrats on 1mill subs
Man brother u literally built a big bass factory one of my many dreams god bless u brother u are truly a blessed and a man of god for taking care of his creations and i could respect that alot man
I can’t believe how amazingly that story about the eagle and the crow fits! I’ve never heard it before, but it’s quite a cute little tale. The footage of the crow pestering the eagle is incredible
I love your videos so much and they always make my day. I love seeing the progress of the. I noticed that you have some unnamed bass, you could name one of them Girtha 😂!
Awesome setup with the new technology you got going on out there at the pond.
Tiger is getting huge.. Thank you for sharing, always a treat to watch, so much information, and love watching people who really care about nature and willing to spend the money on they're behalf
Oh yeah. My day just got a hell of a lot better. Let's go
Love this channel!
Absolute blast to watch another video. Would love to have some happy peaceful, fantasy or adventures music on the background❤ keep up the great work
Was fun watching your video as usual. Like you said, so enjoyable watching all the wildlife there. Thanks again.
B is for Bob the Bass!!!!!!!!
Fieldbot is going to make so much money
I love the idea of the field bot and there are definitely more places it can be used than just farming. So just keep adding features
The field bot could be used in raising poultry. This was an Awesome video!! I love the idea of having a live feed on the farm. It will be especially spectacular when the eagles finally build a nest on the platform.
heat map art based on fish position, that could be cool (sic)
That was a fun video thanks! Like the show with the bass hitting the top water!!!
I just watched this whole series in 3 days haha! I love this series, keep up the good work!
Just caught a 23 inch urban channel cat for my school tourney
I LOVE that music with the bass catching! Very dramatic!
insanely cool footage
The field bot sounds pretty damn cool.
Thanks 👊🏻
I'm sure I can't be the only one who thinks George Jones is the GOAT. Go. George. ❤❤😂😂
Yay that time again , thanks for the joy 🙏 About those field bots , in Australia about 25 years ago my friends family had something similar at a vineyard in Molong NSW , you could look at the soil quality in every row of grapes on a computer away from your farm also , wonder if the field bot is a more modern version ?
Please check out how their (your pond's bass) major feeding times line up with the "Bass Forecast" app's predicted Major and minor feeding times. That will be VERY interesting! Personally, I am rarely catching my fish during the predicted times! Most of the time, the fish I catch come before and after the predicted times. ...Those frog blow ups were epic. Reminds me of the old Bama Bass fishing video days! ...So glad you got that water cleared up in the new pond. That pond is SO gorgeous. I really love how everything seems to be coming together now. The eagle landing on the branch was pretty awesome. All that hard work bearing fruit. ...That Fieldbot is going to be a game changer!
Back in the 50s and 60s my dad was a faithful follower of the Solunar Tables with their major and minor activity schedules. We would fish all day anyway but when the time was approaching dad would always warn us to be ready because the bass were going to start striking our lures faster than ever any minute now. Those tables were right as rain most of the time.
Could the aggressive trout be because they are starving?
You can see hundreds of shiners in there, we stock 1,000 every week
LIKE this comment if you LOVE these 5 acre pond video series!
Woot! Favorite thing to see on home page!
Great video Stephen. Can’t wait to see how creative you’ll get with the fieldbot. Just exactly how far can you go with it. Will it capture wildlife & fish videos, edit it, then post it to KZhead, if so, this could open up a completely different section of your channel that could be very entertaining. Break it down into the different regions of the farm, it would amazing content. Love your channel, been watching since before you started your backyard pond. ❤❤❤
first!
1st reply
2nd reply
Cap ur not first
i love the intent for viewers to engage with your pond but i honestly think it's going to cause more problem for you in the long run.
What?
how so?
This is a KZhead channel for optimists.. the pessimists watch a different channel, Thanks!
It's for more engagement, which means it's more likely to be promoted on KZhead. More Comments = More likely to be suggested by TY = More veiws = More Money Pretty simple.
@@tomkarau Thank you
This is incredible, well done
Very impressive setups this is going to make it easier for your total project monitoring
23:30 it's fun to hear your chuckle when you hook that bass.. must be havin' a genuinely good time fishin'...
When that Japanese maple matures wow o wow man may as well be a preservation. Beautiful stuff as always bama bass.
