It's a southern gray tree frog, I've been in my house for 40yrs and never heard that noise in my life until this summer and I went NUTS trying to find out what kind of critter it was then one night four or five of them took over my aboveground pool and they chirped and chirped for weeks....pretty cool

The call was a gray treefrog (Hyla versicolor). They often hide behind gutter down spouts or under siding. Leave an outside light on at night and you might see one sitting nearby trying to snag some bugs.

Back in my bachelor days I had a 150 gallon tank with a dozen piranhas. 8 red belly and 4 yellow belly. They grew to about 7 inches, give or take. At one point I had 3 breeding pairs. They usually weren't agressive towards people. I'd even clean the tank with my hand in with them. Couldn't do that when they were nesting. They turned black and would bounce against the glass to try and get to you.

When I was feeling lazy I would toss in a frozen chicken breast and they would tear it apart. Feeding live goldfish was messy. Scales went everywhere. Ultimately I ended up getting rid of them since the tank was huge for my small house, it took a lot of maintenance and the tank and fish were all pretty ugly.

*Edit* I remembered the name of the yellow piranhas. They were called caribe. The red bellies I bought from the local pet store when they were about 1". The caribe's I drove about 4 hours to pick them up from a private party. They were about 3" when I got them. None of them were illegal at the time. This would have been around 2000-2003.

15:14 “fluorescent sunburst orange!” Randomly loud naming of the color😂😂 love it!

[billeddingfield]

I'm dying laughing at the music you're using while painting. Incorporating the bird noise into it is hilarious!🤣

Some folks, like my husband, are super fond of etymology - the origin of words and how they evolved. I love the amount of detail you put into the fins and into the baits themselves, they look amazing.

That paintjob is killer! Your lures are functional art.

[dhtrapper]

I know it’s not perfect but the realism you have in this bait is absolutely awesome!

Very nice MB! The " I would like to see a Dolphin 🐬 show a Piranha who's Boss" made my Sunday...have a good one man!

[CFullm]

I think you need to do and Arctic Grayling! Such a cool looking fish should be a good challenge for carving and painting

[adambomb]

thats one of the best paint jobs you have ever shown and that eye is so money! Like you planned it that way.

[trggerCx]

Bonus gardening, and general housework at the end always makes me ultra happy.

my boyfriend and i love to sit down and watch your videos together. he got really excited when he saw this one because the thumbnail looked so awesome. love your videos!

[domesticatednubs]

You mentioned river monsters!!! And yes, he did get into a tank of piranhas and was fine!! I love river monsters sooo much

[watcherofthingsthatrkekano]

Ah the annual hosing down the Hornets nest such good memories. Thanks for another awesome video, be well you're doing fantastic work.

[Zuhqeel]

I like your background song choices on this video in particular ♡
Also always admiring your carving and coloring process

[eonelast]

This is the best paint job i ever seen on piranha lure... Good job man.. wow...

[harrisboyscreations]

Make a saltwater fish that will be cool. Recommendations. These are fish I catch where I come from. Snook lure, red fish lure, mangrove snapper lure, sheep’s head lure or like a pin fish lure would be cool

I loved the peaceful music used during painting.
