Releasing Our Pet Bass Moby into the Backyard Pond!

Your mystery birds are black-necked stilts. They're out of their typical range. Fascinating!

Seeing Moby be timid is so strange, I give it 2 days! His world just got a lot bigger, that turtle encounter was amazing, definitely was his first time seeing one

Man, I wanna shed a tear whenever you let these old school fish go into the pond! They’re still around, but you may never see many of them again with how great your ecosystem is

This is the only series on YouTube I following consistently. I can’t wait to see you catching 8+ pound bass in a couple years. God bless you and your family

It truly makes me happy to see Moby in his new home, being curious and checking out his new roommates.

9:11 the way his eyes move, so curious. I never thought Moby was cute before lol. What a personality.

Moby might be the most aggressive fish I've ever seen 😅 but Tiger seems to really be following in his footsteps ♥️😂

The new bird pair are black-necked stilts. They're called "stilts" because of their very long legs, whose color varies slightly in the orange/yellow range. They are common to the entire Atlantic and Gulf coastline from southern New Jersey all the way to south Texas, inland up the Mississippi River, and also present in California and several other western states. Since you live very close to the Alabama coast, it's not unusual to see them. They like coastal marshland, but will also explore inland for similar marshland, especially following swampy river systems from the coast (like the Mississippi River). You have a lot of nearby swampy marshland and you're fairly close to the Alabama coast. They're treating your pond as just another convenient body of water to wade in looking for food, very similar to how herons hunt.

How is this man not at a million subs yet????

I could watch moby swim in the pond all day i swear

After seeing the red spots I did a bunch of googling and came up on something called “hemorrhagic septicemia” which is a bacterial disease in fish. Might be worth looking into since it was on two of the ones you caught

I binge watched the whole series in 3 night shifts and then had to wait a week for the next episode and it honestly sucked having to wait…. Love this series !

I gotta say it's hard to make projects like this boring but you go above and beyond and make it spectacular. Every little detail you include paints a beautiful picture of this living art

“Look Ma, I made it!” exclaims Moby. Glad to see the transition go without fail. These videos definitely start my week off with breath of fresh air.

It has been and continues to be such an interesting thing to watch your channel and the various ecosystems you have created and care you have given them to thrive. I had a 150 gallon saltwater tank growing up and feeding the fish as well as keeping their habitat healthy for them was quite a task. To watch you do the same on a much bigger level is so impressive and amazing. The addition of caring for the four legged creatures as well as the feathered friends is on a different level and so fun to watch. Bamabass is next level.

the fish with the red spot could be sick

Let’s go moby is finally going into the backyard pond

Great job as always. Those birds at 13:10 are probably Black-necked stilts (Himantopus mexicanus).

Really enjoyed this update - and as a city guy I am absolutely amazed at all the wild life you've attracted to your pond! It was also fascinating to learn of Moby's history - he sure is a monster! Congratulations on all these successes - and I look forward to more!

Favourite part of my days when Bama uploads!
