[00:00:18]>> [clears throat] >> Today's video is going to be different than usual.

[00:00:23]Today we're going to help stock this pond.

[00:00:30]>> [music] >> We have bass, bluegill, channel cats, yellow perch, and some trout.

[00:01:24]We're starting off with the trout here.

[00:01:37]Nice one.

[00:01:45]THAT'S A WHOLE BUNCH.

[00:02:05]>> OKAY, I'LL THROW THEM IN THE WATER OFF THE RIGHT SIDE.

[00:02:10]YOU GOT to throw them in the water off the right side.

[00:02:14]There's a big ONE UP THERE.

[00:02:38]THOSE GUYS THAT WANT TO GET OUT I'M GOING TO GET OUT AND THEY DON'T BURN THEIR scales and algae right away.

[00:02:44]Yeah, they swim away.

[00:02:46]They going to tend to go right down and they land on the bottom.

[00:02:50]Not that it hurts them, I just like to make them make sure they get out of the way.

[00:03:13]Oh, you can do catch and release.

[00:03:14]There's some big catfish there. Actually some of them weren't that big so they weren't too big.

[00:03:23]These are the yellow perch.

[00:03:55]>> Pretty nice for six days, aren't they?

[00:03:57]Yeah.

[00:03:58]Pretty much 7 to 8 inches in size. I don't think there's any pictures there.

[00:04:03]Nobody's ever complained about the fish being too big.

[00:04:06]Other than sometimes on the catfish.

[00:04:07]I've had guys complain that they're too big, yeah.

[00:04:11]I'll throw you all back.

[00:04:13]There you go.

[00:04:14]I'll take these guys down and we'll get a catfish in.

[00:04:23]I'll get over here where the water's a little bit more clearer and dump them out and let you get a video of the one I got.

[00:04:33]Get it where it's in some decent water.

[00:04:45]There he goes.

[00:04:48]Chop him on the bottom there.

[00:04:51]There he goes.

[00:04:53]I trimmed them out a little bit, but I didn't go very big on them. They're big, but I I threw one trophy fish in.

[00:05:00]The rest of them are more than that.

[00:05:02]Like that or better.

[00:05:09]So, you get a little bit of numbers there.

[00:05:23]That must be the trophy one. That's the trophy fish there.

[00:05:26]There might be two of them that are like that.

[00:05:30]Could be a nice one.

[00:05:33]Somebody gets a hold of that, they'll be happy, won't they? Yeah.

[00:05:36]Oh, yeah.

[00:05:45]I threw them out like that. The rest of them are a little bit smaller. before I go.

[00:05:55]Now, what you're looking for?

[00:06:15]That's a good size. See, that's my favorite size. It's still got a few spots on it. All the little guys. Those little ones are good to eat.

[00:06:21]Those big ones are good, too.

[00:06:33]Want a picture of the big one?

[00:06:35]Yeah.
