The Bass Spawned in the 5 Acre Pond! (1,000's of Baby Bass)

Name the bass fry "Truman" after the movie, since it's entire life will be on camera for the world to see.

That huge turtle at 11:12 is a Common Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina). It's a large species of turtle native to North America, and is the most common type of Snapping Turtle (hence its name). They can live for many decades, and feed on aquatic vegetation, nuts, berries, grapes, small fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, crustaceans, and sometimes small mammals and birds if the opportunity presents itself. It's also very easy to tell the difference between Common Snapping Turtles (CST) and Alligator Snapping Turtles (AST). ASTs are larger than CSTs. They also have Alligator-like ridges running along their backs (hence their name), whereas CSTs don't have that. CSTs also have much longer necks than ASTs, which makes them more dangerous to handle since they can reach around and bite you, whereas ASTs can't do that. ASTs live in fast-flowing rivers and streams, whereas CSTs live in lakes and ponds. If you ever see a Snapping Turtle out in the wild, it's, more often than not, a Common Snapping Turtle.

Retired Polish Air Force pilot here. My son started watching your channel, now I do. Go for the experience with the Blue Angels. It will be worth every second of it.

You ABSOLUTELY have to fly with them. Even if you don't film it, that is one hell of an experience.

One of the best man made ponds in the United States right here.

Common snapping turtle my man

That is a once in a lifetime chance to fly with some of the best pilots in the world. You have to do it.

I love that wild animals are moving into the ponds, shows that you’ve done a really good job.

The turtle looks more like a common snapping turtle than an alligator snapping turtle.

Retired Army here...and watched my son retire from Fort Riley last week. Thank your brother for his service from me, and YES! Take the flight! That's a once-in-a-lifetime experience for 99.999% of the human race. Eat a light breakfast and enjoy! AATW/RLTW

i grew up watching the Blue Angels down in Beaufort/Parris Island, South Carolina. im a military brat so my folks always took me to the show. not only that, i used to lay out on the trampoline and watch them practice every chance i could. basically, a free show that lasts longer than the real show. they have truly left an impact on my life and will forever be one of my favorite spectacles to witness

Absolutely need to take the opportunity, as an Air Force pilot I wish every single person could have the opportunity to feel what those Gs feel like, there's just nothing that compares and I wish more ppl could just have the experience because it sucks to talk to your closest friends and family and there's just no way for someone to understand without experiencing it. Absolutely go for it

You should plant a few weeping willow trees on the island, they will allow for more bird life and give some cover to the bass

As a biology major, I love the inclusion of science and research in these videos. They are very educational and insightful. Keep it up!!

As a lifelong pilot, and one who wishes he could have ridden with the Blue Angles, I say GO FOR IT! It will be a memory for a lifetime.

ABSOLUTELYY Take advantage of the invite!! Experience of a lifetime!!

Oh man, flying at over 700 mph sounds like one helluva time and a once in a lifetime invite my vote is YES!!! Do it!!!!

Thats definitely a common snapping turtle, the small shell under the belly is the main identifier

Congrats on 1 million subscribers. I’ve learned so much from these videos for my own pond building project.

Thank you brother Michael for your service. Nice update and video.
