CATCHING EXOTIC PET FISH For My POND!

Oh my gosh, we got one. Oh, he's in the water. What's up BFB Nation. Welcome back to another awesome video guys. Today we're going to be going out and we're going to be catching a peacock bass. The big one that we saw in that other spot from one of my recent videos. We saw a giant peacock bass and we were actually feeding him. We were catching bait in our fish trap and we were feeding that peacock bass. He had a big six, seven pounds and I knew we had to go back and catch him to bring to our pool pond. We need some color in here. I mean, check it out. We got some beasts in here. We got Bane the giant bass. We got Wayne the giant Oscar. We got some giant plecos. There's a little bruiser over there and he's under the fountain. So we got some giant bass in here. We're going to feed them, show you guys. They are massive. They're super aggressive. One thing we're lacking is a big peacock bass. A lot of you guys want me to get a big peacock. So today is hopefully the day. Check this out. Ow! Jesus Christ, dude. He got me good. Peacocks are so much more aggressive than regular bass too. So imagine a giant peacock in here. Oh my God. He's on your head, Brandy. There you go, big boy. It's going to be scary feeding these fish. Once there's a big peacock in here, he's going to go boom. Ow! Dude, he swallows my whole hand. Like just take the tilapia. Look at that. Oh, there's a little bruiser. Look at the little bruiser over there. There you go, buddy. I'll feed you. Oh my gosh. Look at that. We also have some big updates, some big news on the big cichlid pond. We're going to show you guys that later. Oh, there's the shovelnose. Here, I'm going to feed him. Oh, he's smelling it. Got it. He got it. That shovelnose is getting big soon. When he gets really big, he's also going to be going in the pond. See you guys. Oh, also we have to show you bruiser's pond. We got bruiser's pond up and running again. We got everything going. I got the fountain looking all pretty again. Right now, all we have in there is like a little goldfish just, you know, cycling it right now. But yeah, guys, I need your help. I need you to go down there, comment what you want to see in here. I'm thinking either baby predator fish, like, you know, baby peacocks, baby Oscars, or I plant it all up. I get some plants, plant the whole bottom, get top water plants, all this, just like a freaking underwater jungle and just have colorful aquarium fish that I catch in the wild. Small guys like Molly's, the Tetras, all that. I think that'd be really sick. So comment what you think. Also guys, I forgot to mention the peacock bass. We've had bad luck with them in the past. That's because they're very fragile with colder waters. And every time I'd get a peacock bass, a giant cold front would come through. I had no idea, you know, it would go from like a hundred degrees to 60 degrees and they would die. We're in the middle of summer now. It shouldn't be getting cold. We should be good to go to get ourselves a peacock. All right, guys, we're here at the spot. Now, if you watch my DIY traffic cone trap, this is where we caught all those fish. We caught the little baby. They're actually called silver dollars. You guys let me know. I thought they were Pacu, but they're called silver dollars. Super sick. We're going to cast it, try to get some bait, and then we're going to go over. Should we move away from the do not remove? No, that's fine. So yeah, guys, we're going to cast that bait and then we're going to go to where we saw those giant peacocks. See if we can get lucky today and catch them. Okay, that wasn't too bad. It's a bluegill. Are you kidding me? We can't keep the bluegill. It's illegal. Pretty little bluegill though. It's actually really pretty. Look at the purple on him. I died in my eye. What's an idiot? Wait, what is that? It's a baby bass. It's a little baby bass. Oh my God. Oh my God. That was a pancake, dude. A baby peacock. Look at that. See, that's what we're trying to catch today, but like a much bigger size. Oh my gosh. I really want a baby peacock for like a tank or a pond. Are you kidding me? Look at that again. That was so good. That thing's huge. All right, guys, after literally like 30, 45 minutes of trying to catch just one bait, we finally got some little baby tilapias in there. Check them out. We got like seven of them. We're going to use these over here to catch those big peacocks. Hopefully they're still there. We're at the spot. Check it out. This is where we saw those giant peacocks the other day. Now I don't see them right now. That could have been one right there that just popped up. I'm just going to toss the bait out and see if we can get them over here. We're on. We got one. We got one. Oh, he's in the lily pads. Oh, Jesus. Get out. There he is. Yes, sir. That's a nice one. Yes. Yes. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. We did it. Oh, so pretty. Ah, they're so hard to hold. Okay. Okay. We got you got to relax, dude. You're coming home. All right. Hooks out. Let's run it back to the cooler real quick. I'm like this. Look at that peacock, dude. Yes. We freaking got one. Let's go. Look at the belly, dude. That's so cool. I've never seen a peacock like that with all the red along its belly. There he goes. Yes. Oh my gosh. All right. We're going to get dude. It's like such a pretty peacock. There he goes. He's got air. Look at him. I don't know if it's a female or male. I didn't get a good look at him. I'll be able to tell in a little bit, but that is such a pretty peacock. Look at the orange fins, dude. The red. So cool. Now, guys, the way I caught that peacock was pretty interesting. So we've been here like an hour. Haven't seen one peacock. I was down. I was upset. I got snagged on a tree out there and I was like yanking it like this when I come out. So I go in the water. I'm done. I'm walking in the water. Unhook it. And I'm like, you know what? I'm going to try the BFP special. I reeled all the way up to my tip. I just start swooshing around in the water. Two giant peacocks come up and they grab it. It was and you can't make that up. We're going to go over there real quick. There was a bigger one. We're going to see if we can catch him real quick. If not, we're going to use this guy. So this is a little reenactment, right? This is how it happened. I'm in the water and I go like this. So, guys, that wasn't Gigantor. That wasn't the huge peacock that we saw, you know, the other day. We're going to come back, though. I mean, it's not ideal conditions for peacock bass right now. Usually you got to come out here when it's hot and sunny and it's, you know, really shady and real cloudy today. But we're going to come back and see if we can get Gigantor. You know, the size, that's not what matters because we can get them big. You know, we can feed them, get them huge. The coloration on the one we just caught is so pretty. We're going to bring him back to the house, throw him in the pond. We're going to see if it's a female or male. Hopefully she or he does good in the pond. It's going to be sick. We'll see you guys back at my house. Oh my gosh. Yo, guys, show is not over. We got Gigantor right down there. Look at him. We came back to get a thumbnail. There he is. Dude, he's massive. Got him. Oh my god. He snagged. He freaking snagged. He snagged. He swiped on it. Oh my gosh. Oh no. Oh no. Oh dude. I don't know how I'm going to land this fish. Oh, he's in all the freaking weeds, bro. Come on. No. No. Dude. His wife came home. I had the bait right by his face. Jigged it. He swiped on it. Set the hook. I snagged him in the back of it. No. Look, I got one of the scales. I did snag him. Oops. Okay, guys, we're here at my house now. What we're going to do, we're going to put him in a net. Check him out. He's doing good. I can't. I still don't know if it's a female or male. I think it's a female. I don't even know. There we go. I'm going to net him out and then we're going to run to the pond and toss him in. Run? Oh yeah. We're going to super rake. That's a female, I think. Unless it's just a male with no hump. It's a giant peacock. There it is. Oh my god. I think it's a male with a little tiny hump. I don't even know. Look how pretty he is. Wow. All right, buddy. There you go. Yeah, he's really pretty. There you go, buddy. There's your new home. No one's picking on him. We fed all the fish earlier, so no one should be hungry and try to eat them. Should be good. All right, everyone's doing good. There's our new peacock, guys. You need to leave a comment and name our new peacock. He's got really pretty red fins and yeah, he is pretty big. I say he's probably about the same size as Brandy over there, so he's not a small fish. We got Bane here. Bane loves being pet. Look, he's a good boy. That's a good boy. Wayne wants some lemon. That's a good boy. All right, so yeah, guys. Comment and name for our new peacock bass. Also, we might get another one. I want to get a big one. I was going to check this out. A little tiny update on the Cichlid Pond. Now, I wish it was sunny out, but as you can tell, it's really cloudy like it's been all day. But as you can tell, you can see the fish much easier even in the shade like this with the clouds, and that is because we cut a big hole in the trees so that sun can go through. Now, I'll throw up some little clips I got yesterday from when we did it, and the pond looks so sweet. You can see all the fish so good. The whole pond is just lit up, super bright. All the colors pop, and there's no glare, no shade. It is so sick. A lot of you guys wished that you could see into the pond better, and you know, it was super hard back here because it's all shady, lots of glare, lots of shade, but we fixed it, and now you can see the fish super, super well. So yeah, guys, hopefully this peacock does well. I'm sure it will because, you know, it's not supposed to get cold for a while, for a very long time, but there he is right there. That'll do it for today's video. If you did enjoy, please go down there, leave a like, subscribe if you haven't already. I'll see you in the next one. Peace out.
