 Hey, good morning! You guys ever wake up in the middle of the country and the guy you're staying with is like, hey can you go out there and try to shoot some of those coyotes? My wife's killed about seven of them off the back porch lately and we're having a bad problem with them taking her cattle out this year. You can do me a favor and just lock and load and send some lead down range if you see a furry crater out there. It's kind of what I woke up to this morning. Me and Flare are out here at the favorite ranch. We're doing a little rod design this week and just kind of hanging out in the country. So anyway, this is what you do. You just grab you a cup of coffee and you look for goaties. I believe that's a white van coming in right now. Well, I think Winston's working on something out here at the crib. Meanwhile, I'm loading a high-powered rifle as they're coming in to check things out. Flare doing some glassing right now. This is high stakes hunting right here next to the septic tank and we got guys working on the pole over here waiting on something to come out. There's actually a real beautiful field out here. I don't really know what we're doing. I guess we're just kind of waiting on breakfast. This is kind of what you do out here. You just wait for varmints to come out. You shoot one, if one comes out, then you go grab you some eggs and some coffee and start your day. That's Flare improvising in a pinch. Brilliant. You can almost hear it over the semis down the highway. Hey, Poochie. You look like you have problems. Oh, what a cutie. I don't think the coyote hunting is really going to happen, but I did manage to scrounge myself up a stout cup of coffee. Free range, I might add. A lot of stuff happening right here. There's a lot of big equipment. Besides the pool building, this is going to be like a favorite fishing hangout area and just also for just general pull use at the favorite ranch. All this back here is going to be a massive, I think it's going to be a 38 acre lake with 60 foot deep, a damn crappie. It's going to have bass. It's going to have big bluegill all laid out very nicely. And I think Jimmy Houston is actually going to help with the design of this. Maybe a few other anglers. I don't know if you guys know about Jimmy Houston, but he's got some phenomenal ponds. I've actually been there and I've seen him. I've fished him. They're incredible. He has an incredible place nose thing too about building ponds. This all back here where we were looking for coyotes this morning, this is going to be a giant lake. So it'll be something really neat where we can just come up, take boats out and test lures, test rods, test all kinds of stuff, go hang out at the pool. It'll be a phenomenal place to be in the outdoors. So looking forward to that. Pretty excited. You know what? I see some rods over here right now. Let's see Flare and see when some of some rods. So I think it's time to go do some fish. How you going with us today for the coyote time? Is it hooch or pooch? This is pooch, formerly known as Daisy. Okay. She likes to talk, don't you? Daisy. Poots. Daisy poots. Well, I guess that's the only coyote I'll see today, huh? I got it. I got a gun. Don't worry. It's that Tucker life right here. Grab you a cup of coffee, hop in the mule, grab your dog Daisy poops, poops with a tee, poot poots with a tee, and you just kind of cruise the farm. Maybe look for some sticks, check on the cows, make sure things are checked, but when anything falls apart out here, if you're lucky you get to cast a line. I think his hamburger steak's ready for the freezer right there. Hey, what's happening here? What's happening here? Well, that cow's upset with them. The cow's chasing sheep. The cow's vicious still. You know, man, cows have been known to be carnivorous. I think we need to turn Matt Lennon on him, see if he can sort these cows. I think so too. Can we please do that for video? I'm not getting out of the vehicle. Have you prepared the cows? Oh, they're coming right to the pond too. We're supposed to fish. We'll take a little ride. Oh Jimmy, is that a llama? Of course, we gotta have a llama. There's a herd of cows and then there's just a llama randomly out in the middle. Is that what they do? The llamas protect the cows? They're supposed to, this one doesn't do much, but there it is. Just right out of the middle like a giraffe, just trotting around. It looks so funny, man. You gotta open the old cattle gate here. I know, I know, eat more chicken and all that good stuff. Definitely want to lock that back up. I don't have anything today. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I eat Chick-fil-A all the time. Don't worry. These things get angry. Watch out now, girl. Come on over there. How do you call this llama now? Look at that thing. He's cocked his head sideways. He don't like me. He's called Paul. Paul? Paul, look at him jabbering going over there. God dang. Look at Paul. That is the funniest dang creature I've ever seen. Hey Paul. Paul. You know that does work Winston. It does. This one, look, this one's from that the mountain. Look at this. Look at those ears pinned back. You don't want a mess with the men. Oh yeah. When they pin their ears back, you better watch that. You see that. Do that the city? No, you cannot. It smells like something Fresh over here, boys. Just wait, please, come on. Oh, that's a big one there. That is a big one. That's your big mama. Willis? That's his name? Oh, what's about to say? Oh, Wilbur, he's pretty dang gun big. Look at that pair on him, dick. Just got to get a couple more mamas to go through and then all these little ones are going to follow suit. Get in there. Alright, we got a pond. We've got flair. There's probably going to be fish caught. This is where flair caught the six. I caught a good fish here. That big is like five. It was your PB at the time, wasn't it? No. Let's see. Well, you already got a topwater tide on. There's a couple of rods with nothing that are ready for something. Remember that on the in-cap at Bass Pro. The walking worm features a life-like tail action. Go straight up in the air to mimic leeches. Wall-ice absolutely slurp and grip them. Sounds pretty spot on. Did you make that video? Dang. You guys. Look at that tackle box. It's frog season. Frog or chatterbait? It's Sanka. Other than that, it's about all I got. Does this break a lot of rules? It's like a barrel swivel clip on a frog. I did that until I was 18 years old. Really? So it's all good. I snapped it on. If I saw someone do this, I would cringe. You have absolutely no idea what you're doing. That's what I'm doing right now. It's extra dive action. My dad had a box of these randomly. These little tiny ones. I'm going to take them up to Canada. You know the Mayflies? They'll probably slurp that thing like a little candy corn. I just like being around fishing. It kind of makes me happy. Yep. Dodge a cow pad here too. Give the old popper a toss now. When you're pulling fishing, you've got to stay back, Matt. They can see you already. I promise y'all I didn't just snag that fish. He came up and tried to tag that top water by the bank. These fish are just now starting to spawn. It's crazy. Oh, he came off. Well, I think we had three bites. Captured one. Lost a frog. She's getting mud on reckless white britches. Poots. Got a second little fishing hole over here. And the goats need to be fed. Tucker's going to get in here and feed him a goat. Got to give him some roughage to keep the routers going. I think is what he said. By the way, most tick infested region in all time. Okay, you got to call them in with the bush. Here they are. They come right on in. So they just come. They just bend that tree over and they just come right on in. Bend it over. You can look at them going to town. So they have to have that to keep their rumen going. Oh, I got you. So they just go crazy when you give them a nice fresh tree. They got to have them in a persimmon in the mornings. Oh, that's a persimmon tree. Those are those fruits that aren't very good, right? They're amazing good. You don't eat them when they're green. Okay, that's what I did when I was a kid. Somebody dared me to. That whole branch. That's gone. So these goats are now going to have a nice rumatory system. Flush their units out. I probably need to give the old topwater a send. Oh, hey there. Hey. Easy. You're trying to get, oh yeah. Get up in there. Reach them. Wow. That sucker is seven feet tall when he wants to be. Okay, let me get this pop bar out of the way before we hook a goat. So when you get home from all these business trips, you just come out here and you bend the tree over and herd the cows. Okay, these goats have kind of exhausted the area. They need some help. Meanwhile, he's over there fighting Billy. Look, they're just going to ravage this tree. Kind of like his farm life. So Winston was saying that they lost 30 goats this year to coyotes. Y'all can believe that. So they got just these wild dogs running. And they lost about their chickens to raccoons and coyotes. They got a big problem. We need to come up here and do some coyote maintenance, I think. Nope. Don't eat the popper. Organic berries. What kind of berries? Blackberries. Mmm. They're young. They'll turn red and they'll turn black. About three weeks we'll be eating blackberry ice cream. Homemade ice cream until it's full. Look at that. That might be a five pounder lay down one of these days. Look at that stub. Winston was saying all this is going to be underwater. He's leaving it for building the big lake for the pond. Can you see the field down here? Oh, yeah. So this little bank will be that'll be the water edge right there. We'll drive around. I'll show you where the dam will be at the top. It'll be 1,200 and 1,250 foot long. It'll be 54 deep at the dam. And it'll be 280 feet wide. I mean and then you can just sit up there and wait for the deer to come. Bad little dealio. Well then there's another spring right there, huh? How many springs did you say there's? According to the government, there's eleven springs. Eleven springs feeding it. That's awesome. We're going to drill them out and put a big piece of steel in. Perforate the holes that way we have to shoot right at them. This is a little jelly pad spring pond. It looks like this year around. We'll cut this bank. This will be part of it. Bass will love that stuff. There's been those paths. We've been here for them. There's some juicy frogs in there that are going to escape. Get munched by Mondos. So right here will be the top of the dam. Right here. All this brush we'll drive around where it's clear and you can see. This will be where the dam starts and it will go straight twelve hundred and fifty feet. Ultimate. Giant horse fly right there. That was a big son of a dick. Got it. Oxen's up here for real. That's great. So we're going to come down here and get a bunch of these little flat river rocks before we flood it for the you can see up here. Yes you can get some cool stuff I'm going to lay them around that little ditch around the pool. This is going to be where the crappies in the Mondo bass. We're probably catching about halfway up that tree maybe. We'll be in about, well the water line so that corner will be the dam. I bought this the neighbors property. We're going to doze all that out. Fifty four foot there so we should be about thirty thirty five feet right here. That's insane. I think we can see the LFG Mondo tree right here and then we got Flair's Croppy Kingdom over there. Something like that. Winston was just talking about making little landmarks all over the lake kind of since we're going to you know do videos on the build and help out with some stuff I think that would be pretty sweet. Tab poles and frogs and crawdads are already already got them in here They're natives. I mean it's made this was supposed to be a lake. It's a whole lot but it's just been waiting. I love that. Look at that frog jumping in there. It comes out right under this tree and there's another one. Oh I see I see what you're saying. So it probably runs, it's connected to that little spring pond up there. This hole like we call this runs underground. Hey holler but it's actually a swamp like there's probably ten or fifteen artesians it's everywhere out there like right now we'd sink up this deep. And we could just take a sip. So that's where that natural water is going to come out and feed this glorious, nutritious filled lake. Poison ivy is pretty strong down here. There's some seen some seed on that root. Leaves of three stay away. How old is that tree stand there? It's got to be 55 years old who's built in the early 50s. Solid quality back there. So we're going to try to leave that so we can scuba dive down here if the water gets as clear because there's another big spring out up here. So we're hoping it'll be clear enough we can sit in that tree stand and shoot a catfish. This will all be gone. We're looking at the dam. The dam will be up there. Little spring. Chubby little groundhog munching on glover. And that tree is going to be left in here. Wow. He's already marked it on his graph. Can you imagine getting the fish out of the base of that thing? No, that coil is just chilling. Try to get him to whistle. He's getting ready to duck out. He sees Ruger. There goes Bob White Point. There it is. Just named it. Well, after a long morning of hanging out on the farm. We're actually here at the favorite headquarters. We're going to be going inside, doing a little designing, just talking about some stuff for next year. But just after seeing that whole entire layout of what that lake is going to be like. I cannot wait to get up here. It's going to be the perfect place to come up here, test out new rods, go fishing, film videos, and just hang out and just have a good time out in the country. Definitely going to bring Stephanie up here. Winston's family's pretty awesome too. My wife, she makes her own jam. She pickles her own stuff. It's like dream stuff for Stephanie. So I got to bring her up here sometime. She'd love it. Hi, I'm Justin. Okay, you guys want to see the holdings? God bless you. This is the room. This is where it all goes down. I don't know if I can actually show everything in here. But this is the full blown selection. New memorabilia right here. This is that tournament that me and Winston fished in right here. They're Team USA. Representing. We actually won that tournament. And we got some Major League Baseball action happening right here. For all you Rangers fans, we got Rangers rods. The Mondo Warehouse. This is a new memorabilia wall. Oh yeah. Heck yeah. How long ago was that? Yeah, that was a while, man. All that right there, ladies and gentlemen. Favorite fishing rods heading out the door. Maybe it's going to your house. There's so much fishing stuff in here. It'd blow your mind. I don't know why. My head kind of hurts to be honest with you. Kind of got a little headache right now. Everywhere you look, there's something. You need rope? You never know when you need rope. I'll take some rope. Hey guys, do you need some flash lights in your life? Maybe some calls. About a little call action. What in the world? That is the most calls I've ever seen. Some stuff here. I literally had a fox in my backyard two days ago. I want to try to get some of this stuff on camera, see what's roving around back there. It's a new morning. I just woke up. I wanted to come out here and just kind of soak in the sunrise. It's incredible. I don't know if you all can see the deer that are on past the tractor down there by the creek. They're actually sitting in where the deepest part of the lake is going to be, besides the dam. Down in the creek area. That's just going to be phenomenal. I can't wait the date on that around September when we get this thing up and rolling. There's a lot of things involved in building a lake of this size because it's going to be the biggest 30 or 40 mile radius. This is going to be the biggest lake around here. It's not just a little pond in the backyard. It's an actual lake that will sustain wildlife in this county and probably a lot of other counties surrounding here. So I just can't wait to see this project get started. And we're going to be coming up here and doing videos on it. Guys, I love it up here. I love it up here. I really want to take Stephanie up here to show her the farm. This is exactly why I told you guys in the beginning I wanted to work with favorite is because it's more than just fishing and a corporation. It's a family. They're my friends. So I'm going to sign you off on that good note. Time to go back and get with Ocean Spoon Girl. I have heard she has made my favorite cookies. They're done. They're available. So I got to get back there and give me some of that. But I'm wishing you guys the best wherever you are. I hope you're catching Mondos. I hope you're having a blessed, blessed day. And I wish you the best. And if you want to subscribe right here to the channel you guys know what to do. Hit that subscription button. Hit the ding dong for all the notifications especially if you want to follow along with the pond stuff this summer leading into fall. It's going to be a huge project. It's going to be a lot of fun. I wish you guys the best. And I'll see you on the next one. Later.
