True human being sharing all this. You wanted to do something. You thought about it. Did the thing. Showed what you did. Shared what it took and why you made choices you made. Hats off to you, amigo. This is what the internet should be about.

YouTube started playing the video before I got the sound on, had to rewind just to hear "folks at home!" 🤣 I've really enjoyed following this whole project! 😁

[henrywagy]

Just wanted to say that this is my favorite series on YouTube. These videos are just downright entertaining

I was laid up because of surgery when I discovered your videos on YouTube. You had already aired a couple of videos of the 5 acre pond build. I found your videos very interesting, so I went back and watched your previous videos to catch up. I haven’t missed a video since! I can hardly wait two weeks for a new video to come out.
I really enjoy your content and your narration. I used to love to hunt and fish, but I’m now disabled and have a hard time getting around, walking on uneven ground is almost impossible for me. So I watch a lot of hunting and fishing content and get my pleasure of the outdoors through others.
I enjoy seeing all the wildlife and watching you catch the bass and seeing the bass continue to grow. Keep up the great content, I look forward to every other Sunday evening to see a new video. God Bless You and Your Family! Ed, from Kentucky……

I live 3 high up in a rental appartment. Will never get a pond. And never liked fishing. But watching someone with passion talking about and doing his thing ánd watching beautifull wildlife, is what gets me subscribed and watch every episode. Thanks!

My pond is a small wildlife pond made out of a child's paddling pool dug into a few feet of dirt, and laid onto a bed of sand. Obviously not big enough to keep bass in, but it's brought frogs, toads, birds, and even the occasional snake into the garden. Whilst I love your five acre pond project, a wildlife pond can be practically any size as long as your aim is to provide habitat for aquatic species to move into.

never knew you were still working full time besides YouTube. so much respect for what you do. this channel already seemed like it was your full time the way you manage it. big ups love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

I am so amazed how much cheaper this was to build than I thought it would be.
I have seen Salt Water Reef Systems that cost literally around the same amount of money.
I know people that have worked hard, and they thought it's either, I get myself a Tesla or a Reef Tank and they have chosen the Aquarium.
I'm really thankful you were so transparent with the build all throughout. Really awesome of you to do.

This is my favorite series on YouTube, the quality of the build, explanations and commitment is amazing. We have been blessed to be part of your beautiful Sunday pond family.

The last minute 30 seconds is why you’re so fun to watch and root for. Keep it up sir God bless

I am a civil engineer orignally from the south but now work in southern California. I can tell you that i do this for a living every day all day and your numbers are insanely cheap compared to california. This is a 5 million dollar project in San Diego County.

It’s a give and take for every user and you. We watch, you provide. Your time though is spent for the love of what you’re doing and for us.

Hats off to you, Liz children and any family that’s ever been impacted by your work for us and this channel. Thank you dearly!

I’ve been watching your vids since Bonnie and Clyde were little babies in you’re indoor tank. This has been a journey I’ll never forget as I really do feel part of it. Thank you for all the entertainment and knowledge you’ve provided over the years. Looking forward to your next project, I’m watching from the U.K

[kurotaka]

Haven’t missed an episode yet. I live now in Japan spent a lot of years business travel to Birmingham and fell in love with Alabama. First class production and story lines. Always appreciate the work of a man with faith! God bless.

[coreyjackson]

This is the type of content I LOVE, super informative, talks about the highs and lows unbiased. Also, it's clearly not a choice, Hennessy Raptor over the pretty golf cart 😉

[HartSickle]

I can't believe you have a full time job as an electrical engineer, a wife and two young kids that you are obviously a great father to, you have enough time to build and maintain four (soon to be five) water features, and you still have time to shoot and edit all of these videos. You must be the most productive man alive. Do you not sleep?

I began to watch even prior to the construction of the 5-acre pond. I recall seeing the little backyard pond get built! I'm happy to see that you guys are still succeeding! Much respect and love, and keep going! I adore you two.

[williamcummins]

I started watching even before the 5 acre pond build .... I remember watching the small backyard pond build !!! Glad to see you guys are still doing great ! Much love and respect, Keep it up ! Love you guys ❤
