In today's video I go fishing in the abandoned pond to catch a POND MONSTER to bring back to put in my NEW 7200 gl predatory fish pond! We set fish traps and used a rod baited with live bait and ended up catching a big bass, oscars, and after hours of waiting we ended up catching a MONSTER redtail catfish out of a mud pond which was perfect to bring back as my new pet! We also transported 2 arowanas from my koi pond into their new home!

The whole squad where's the other one we're after big fish today
We have our big old beefy fish trap and we're gonna place it in this pond. There's a fish. Oh, yeah
Okay, we should let him eat for a second my heart's racing that's a big fish that's a big one rob dude
Oh, it's freaking huge. What is that? Please don't come off. It's huge
What's up bfb nation welcome back to another awesome video guys today
We're going back to the abandoned pond to try and catch more fish for my new 7200 gallon predatory pond behind me
We just set this bad boy up and check it out. The fish are doing great
We moved all of our giant redtails and bigger catfish here. They're doing amazing. Oh, look baby blaze
Oh, hey, bud. Hey, baby blaze and in my last video we found two abandoned arowanas in a fountain pond at this abandoned house
They're also doing really good. We put them in here. Check it out. Look at that little arowana. There's the other one to the left
Oh, yeah, there he goes. There's one arowana one's over there and then you got all of our big old catfish
Where's piggy or is that blaze? Oh, he went in the look at that. They look so good. Oh
Hey, bud. Hey big guy. They're loving it. I can actually tell a difference
They seem much more happy in this pond. They got enough room to swim around and be happy guys
This pond is absolutely huge and we need more fish for it. So what we're doing today
We're revisiting one of my favorite spots and we've been catching insane aquarium fish here. You guys have loved it
It's this guy's property that is completely abandoned
He used to have four ponds there filled with fish and more recently we fished one of the ponds with hook and line and we caught
a big paku and there was also some really cool silver dollars in there and me and rob have been suspecting
That that pond was his amazon pond full of predatory fish
Now, like I said, we need more fish for my 7200 gallon pond and I think that's the perfect place to start
We're gonna see if we get lucky and catch anything cool any big fish to put in here
And yeah guys this pond is coming along. We got some arowanas in here. There's actually two more in my koi pond
So before we go to the abandoned pond
We're gonna try and net two other ones out of my koi pond to then bring to this one
And then we'll have a school of four of them. It's gonna be crazy. But yeah guys today
We're using this a big old rod big old real heavy line and a big old hook to try and get whatever we can guys
So let's go see if we can net those arowanas out of the koi pond and put them in here
Oh, oh
They're always so hard to catch bro. You got it. You got it
Oh, yeah
Let's bring him to the pond. Here we go guys third arowana going in check him out. It's just a little dude
This guy we've had for a while now and he was in the koi pond. He was doing really good
And we're gonna add him to the predatory pond. There he goes. Perfect
He's like the same size as the other ones. There he goes. Go find your brothers and sisters
All right, let's try to get the other one. There's the other one. This one's bigger
Nice and easy
Oh
He's right there he's right there he's a big jumper no jumping
This one's big look at this one, that's the biggest one we have so far. All right, let's run him back
Look at that. This one's beautiful. This one's a lot bigger than these other ones that we have. Whoa easy now beautiful fish
All right. I know you're feisty. You want you want to get in your new pond?
There you go. Be free. I love me some arowanas guys. Now we have four in this pond. Oh, yeah, that one's nice
That's a big boy right there
Now guys, we're gonna head to the abandoned pond and we're gonna see if we can pull out any crazy fish today
And this time we're hoping we're hoping we can get on some fish that can go in this pond our new one
We'll see you guys at the spot. All right, guys, we have made it to the abandoned pond
Now we're here at night this time. We haven't really done this before. We haven't really explored much at night
So i'm really excited. We have a huge fish trap last time. We're here
We caught some insane cichlids in this thing some big green tares and other stuff, but that's small stuff
We're after big fish today. Look at this pond guys. This is like one of my favorite ponds here on the property
There's four and this one we caught a massive paku at so we know there's some good stuff in here. There's some juicy fish
Watch this spider web. Oh that thing's holy smokes
Oh my god, look at this. This is all mud
Oh, wow, we're gonna bait this rod on up right now and get it out there as soon as possible
So let's get a bait. We have some bait fish in a bucket
We're gonna throw one on this hook and throw it out to the middle of the pond and hopefully a big fish eats it
All right. Here we go guys. Got a little mayan cichlid here some candy for these fish. Oh
What kind of ducks are those? All right, i'm gonna throw it right out there
I'm gonna throw it as far as I can three two
one
Great throw perfect guys
Okay
We don't think there's a lot of bait fish in here because we did
Throw the cast in a couple times and we didn't really catch any small bait fish
So they might see that and they're like, oh my god food
So we're just gonna leave it right there. You know, hope for the best. We're gonna hope we're gonna wait
Bugs if this starts shooting out, we'll know that there's a fish on on the other side of the line guys
Where's that boat? I'm gonna go boating. There was an abandoned boat last time. Oh, there it is
There's my other boat. Oh, there's one boat and then there's one in the back
So guys, this was someone's pond. They had some cool little boats here some cool fish and they just left it all guys now
We're actually gonna bait up my fish trap and we're gonna have the fish trap soaking as well at the same time
Let's get that fish trap baited up. The bugs are insane right now. Okay. Yeah, they're swarming
We're gonna load this thing up, dude. Oh, yeah, i'm talking for four people to hood. You got racks
All right, she's baited up
Ready to go catch us some insane fish
It's really shallow here on this bank
And it's so muddy that I really don't want to go in this water to the middle to place it
So what we're gonna do we're gonna head to the first spot and we're gonna place that there because we know this has worked
Really good there at the first pond and then we're gonna come back here and wait for something to eat
My fish and we're gonna catch it. We're gonna catch it and we're gonna catch malaria because all these bugs
I don't know what that is, but that sounds fun
Whoa, rob. Look. Oh
Dude, there's a ton of bait fish in this pond. Oh, I wish we had a dip net right now. Oh, yeah
Yeah, he's sinking don't know hold guys
Yeah, there it goes. All right. Perfect. Look at that guys. This trap is in the water
She's baited up with some bread. Look at the amount of fish here. Those are mostly
Crazy aquarium fish because you know, we trapped here before i'm seeing lots of color
You saw that sickly, yeah, all right guys. Well, this was really cool
We just walked around the pond and we saw the amount of fish that are actually in here
I had no idea now
This is crazy because soon they're gonna be filling in all these ponds and just crushing everything and killing all the fish
this really
you know creates motivation for me to come here as much as I can and trap out net out as many fish and save them because
The amount of fish i'm seeing in here. I just that's that's insane that they can't die. Okay, we can't let that happen
And yeah guys
We're gonna head back to the other pond with our rod in the water and we're gonna watch the line like a hawk
And hopefully something picks it up. It's only been like 30 minutes. So i'm not really expecting anything now, but you never know
We did see a raccoon here right when we walked out. There was a raccoon sniffing the rod
The line looks really tight. Look how tight the line is. Okay ready if I move this
Let's see if it shoots back out. That's really weird how it was tight though
It might have just been the bait fish. It looks like we're just gonna have to keep waiting time to get comfy
Rob, we're gonna be here a long time. So this blows for me
Oh, you can find i'm sure you can find something around here. Oh, i'm sinking. Oh
Oh god, this is gonna be a rough night. We'll see you guys once
Something happens and yeah, i'm excited go find your own tray rob. Where's bobby?
Oh my god, bro. What are you doing?
You know, that's wet bro. It doesn't matter. I learned this on youtube. You learned this on
Oh, no, screw these sticks dude. You know what? Let's check the rod. It's been about 30 minutes
It feels like it's been hours, but let's go see if anything's on the rod
bro
Look at the line. Oh, it's taut
It moved there's something on it for sure, okay
Oh my god. Okay. Okay. Something's on. Where is it?
Oh, it's all the way out there. Oh, i'm nervous. I think it's stuck on something. Oh that rod bent. Okay
Oh, you're snagged. What the heck? What is going on?
Dude, you're snagged on something. Oh, I got a stick
Oh
I can't even will where's the line? Ah
Oh, it's stuck. Oh my god. There's a fish on it. Rob. There's a fish. Oh, this is scary
Oh, it's on a stick. Ah, oh my god
Oh
Oh, wow, that's a nice one that really worries me because oh look at this like there's sticks everywhere on my line now
That was tough guys that tree right there. It was all tangled up in it. It was just swimming around there
We have a circle hook on there. So basically the hook sets themselves once they you know, have the line the sketchy part now
I mean, this is just a bass. It's nothing cool
We don't even want this but if there was something cool, we might lose it because all these sticks go tell your cool exotic friends
To bite our line
There he goes. Look at him off into the mud. Yeah, he caught a big stick too. Yeah, look at the giant stick
God, this is bad
Oh my god, this pond is literally it's proven to be impossible to fish
We're gonna get all these sticks out of the line rebate it throw it back out there and I mean, hey
That's a good sign. We caught a fish. We're gonna get this line back on out there
And hopefully something else will eat it. We're just gonna throw it in like the same spot, I guess
Hopefully what oh, oh to the left to the left to the left
Oh big fish every time we make a video here, you know, whether we're saying a trap or something
We always see big ripples big splashes come up from bigger. Am I picked up already? Oh
Rob something just had it it might have like heard it splash and came to it. It might have been that fish
We just saw okay. We're sending it back out there. We're just gonna let it sit. That was insane guys
Big fish just came up. That's a good sign
We're gonna get back to you guys if anything happens me and rob was just gonna camp out here
Snuggle, you know keep warm together because it's really cold. Oh, yeah guys. We'll see you once again if anything happens
All right, guys, we got really bored. It's i'm not even joking rob. How long has it been? It's been over an hour
Nothing has touched the rod. So we're like, you know what? It's been enough time
We're gonna check the fish trap and see if we got lucky with that. I mean it is nighttime
We don't really do a lot of nighttime fish trap. So we don't know what the fish are like sleeping or what?
There is some mosquito fish I think
around it
No holes once again guys, this is just great. God dang it
Okay, I need a lot of water out of here. This is so heavy. Oh my god. Are you serious?
There's no single fish in here
Oh, there is a fish there's a fish I saw. Oh, yeah, I see
Flashlight
Oh, it's big that's cool at night too, look at that. Oh, yeah. Nice. That's the only fish we caught
There's no mosquito. There's not a sink dude. They're all sleeping. That's insane. Okay, so this guy
That that's an oscar right there. He honestly know what it was. He just wanted a midnight snack
He woke up and he was like i'm hungry. What's there to eat and he smelled our little bread. Look at that
Oh, he's adorable. Oh
Look at the pink on them. Oh
Come on
All right
Honestly, I wasn't even expecting to catch a single fish. So we didn't even bring a bucket
So we're gonna run this guy back to my truck that gives us hope guys. It's been rough out here
Just sitting in the woods
Scared of bigfoot naked and afraid. It's literally naked and afraid out here guys
Honestly, i'm done with the camp and stuff. We're gonna sit in my truck for another hour
Okay, and then we're gonna head out to the pond check the rod again
If nothing's on it, we failed you're not even gonna see this video
But if you are seeing this video, that means we caught something
So I guess we'll see you in about an hour when we check that rod again and see if we caught anything
It's time time for what to catch a fish
Let's do it
Come on, I swear if there's not a fish on the end of this rod
I'm quitting. Oh my god. Wait, I didn't even
Throw the lines over there now. I can't stay out in the middle. Oh
Another fish just came up. Wait, look at my line rob. Yeah, it's way left on the other side of the pond
What dude? Oh my god
My bait's gone something ate that right off literally. It's just it's just gone
That means that there's something in here that just took my bait. I need to go get another bait
That means we're gonna keep trying there's more fish in here
Bob I hear something in the bush
There is something in the bush. Okay, that's scary. I'm just gonna keep going acting like I didn't hear that
I'm gonna hook the mayan in the tail this time. Maybe that'll help us hook the fish better
Hmm I just saw that fish juice. All right, we're gonna set down this time
You know what? Let's bring our chair over here and we're just gonna sit here and watch the line
Very peaceful
Yep, I can just imagine this guy i'm sure this was his chair, you know
He would sit in just like this like a good little boy and he would watch the fish and now we're catching them and we're taking
Is that moving
Oh, it is moving quick, holy crap, look at the reel
Oh, yeah, it's taking okay, we should let him eat for a second. Yeah, let it eat. Let it eat
Oh, i'm nervous. My heart's racing. That's a big fish. That's a big fish. Okay
That's a big fish. Do I send it now? Dude, you know better than me
Okay, it's really taking it. It's really taking this
I'm shaking guys. I'm literally shaking right now. All right, here's china out there
He's taking it once it gets tight and tension
I'm just gonna reel because circle hooks you don't want to set the hook
That'll pull it right out of his face
It stopped moving
It might have dropped it. We're gonna wait for him to pick it back up. There he goes. There you go
There he goes. I'm just gonna set i'm just gonna reel into him ready
Once it gets tight. Oh god, look at my line. There he goes. Oh, he's in that tree probably ready
Oh god, that's a big fish that's a big one rob dude. Oh my god, it's in that tree. Oh no

This is just unreal
I mean, we've literally been here for two almost three hours and it paid off. Look at this fish. We just pulled out of there
That's a red tail catfish, baby. Literally like
Nothing, nothing could be better than that. We just caught a red tail my favorite fish
It all started when we caught that paku. I was like, dude, there could be insane stuff in here if there's paku
What a beautiful red tail. He's really nice. Oh my
wow
That's a big one dude. Perfect for the red tail army. Look at you
Look at you easy
Look at that
Look at that beautiful fish, dude, I freaking love these things guys. We have a bunch at my house already
They get about six foot long
And we're building an army and this is just insane a wild caught one. We've caught them before
and now
We have another rob. There's got to be more there could definitely be more
There's got to be more than just one red tail and a paku in there
This is crazy guys
If you want us to come back another time, maybe we throw out like two lines at once or something
That could be insane. What if we catch more out of here? This is crazy
All right, we're gonna hook this aerator up to them. I'd say this one's about the same size as piggy. Oh my god
I'm, just so excited guys. Okay. I'm just gonna look at her for a few more hours and then we're gonna drive home
We should probably go home sooner than a few hours. I'm gonna cry. I'm like looking at her. She's so beautiful red tail
I want to thank rob. This is a bad day in my life
This day in my freaking life, dude, we caught a red tail
We did it guys
Perseverance we were about to give up dude, and we just kept going because we see fish blow up out there all time
Look right there. Oh, yeah, it just happened again. Like that could be another red tail
We're gonna rig everything back up and head back to my house and get this guy
Acclimated to the catfish army the big predator pond 7200 gallons go down there. Leave a like we'll see you back at my house
All right, guys, we made it back to my house right now. I am just so pumped right now guys
This is my first ever red tail i've caught rob's caught one
My other friends have caught one and surprised me with them
But I literally i've never caught one and I don't know how because I know of lots of places that have them
I just haven't got lucky yet and it's just crazy because it's my favorite fish
And yeah guys, we just made it back to my house. All the catfish are going crazy. They're excited for their new friend
Oh look a little piggy down there. Hey piggy. You're gonna get a friend soon
We're gonna go get her and then add her into this massive pond and i'm just so stoked guys
Comment names right now comment names for our new red tail catfish. All right guys, here we go
We're gonna add her to the pond. I can't wait to see her interact with our red tails. We have right now
Does she have like any identifying factors? Oh, there she goes. Honestly, she looks a lot like piggy
I think she's like the same size so might be hard to tell them apart, but usually i'm good at it
I just know right away. There's always something that's different. Okay, she's right under the filtration right there
Oh arowana's jumping around. Look at all look at the school of arowana's there
She is I can already tell she's the one in the back right there
That's her that new one right there
Right there. She's cuddling right there. Yep. I think that's her now
She has friends now
She can actually like see the water that she's living in
Hopefully there's more in there because we're catching that too and we're bringing it back
Rob, I forgot we got an oscar in the back too. I completely forgot. Oh
You you right we caught a red tail and we're like, yeah, forget the oscar
So we're gonna go get that little oscar and add him to the oscar army. This is a really pretty oscar
