Awesome man! You're honestly an inspiration. I've always wanted to keep a small pet largemouth to watch it grow and see myself doing that soon. I have more research on equipment and materials to use to insure the health of the fish. Regardless, thanks man! I'm new to your page but quickly fell in love with it!

[again, thak you for you're video and you're teaching of all these diffrent types of fresh water fish]👍👍

Super excited for this new adventure for you. Been fishing for Musky for over 20 years and they’re by far my favorite species.

Man... you are awesome, can't believe I didn't find your channel sooner. I've always been a huge fan of keeping native wildfish and you definitely do have the biggest collection. As a muskie fishermen myself, I think itd be very cool to order one and have one. Currently have a 2000 gallon koi pond my father and I dug up. Anyways time to binge on your videos!

Hey, great vid. I just caught a Redfin Pickerel whose in my 100gl. I love how they just stare back at you. I love this fish

I've never kept a pike but I sure have caught a few in my days. Great video 👌

I can't wait to see how it grows and i am impressed.

I would like to have a minnesoda native tank one day, and perhaps keep a northern, or a musky (separate tanks of course) I'll be sure to check back here now and again to learn!

I guessed it right, and that's a beautiful musky, I hope your able to care for him for a long time.

it's dope to see someone on KZread keep pike or musky. I live in Alaska and also keep predatory freshwater fish found here in Alaska. I have a 2,000 gallon indoor pond which has 2 northern pike, 1 musky, a couple bourbot, several walleye, and a silver salmon.

Super stoked for this! You’re definitely nuts!...but in a good way. If anyone can handle a Musky, it’s you. Bada$$❗️

I’m in the uk , I’m wanting a cold water pond , can you advise some predator fish that will do well in an outside ez pond ? Without the need for heating ? I know we have pike but not sure on species ,

I enjoyed seeing the new Muskie and hope that it does well. I enjoy watching you being able to train your fish to eat for you on camera and home one day we can see that monster eat as well. You are a blast to watch and don't just give us all the good that you do, but some of your failures as well. Bad comes with the good and you can't be perfect but I am glad to hear that most of the fish you keep, that you do so for the pride of collecting but also to inform all of us if we should ever want to keep something that you might have and learn about what they live like. Great new addition and can't wait to see him grow and move up to the other tanks. Keep up the great work.

I’m in Scotland just bought a European pike. Thanks for your enthusiasm

Love the tanks . I have always had tanks with fish. But this is the 1st year in my 43 years of life I have started a native aquarium . I have a few bluegill and a couple green sunfish . And my favorite pair have to be my to largemouth bass. I cought them at 2-3 inches and are now at 5-6 I chest now. The funnest part is watching them eat.

Dude that’s the coolest fish i’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to get me one of those

Great video. When I was a wee boy I was fishing with my pa and I captured a 2 inch ugly fish and I put it in my 40 gallon tank. It was aggressive, hungry and it hated being cooped up in a tank. It grew fast and soon it was 8 inches. The entire time it would viciously slap water at me when I opened the lid and skip along the surface of the water. It went half crazy so I let it go before my dad could build a pond to grow it out to eating size..

Way too COOL Zac!!! Congrats!!! I love BIG FISH!

Cool fish my friend I have caught lots of them in Wisconsin I now live in Portland Or and they are not legal in this state or I so would keep one just Subscribed to your channel thanks for sharing

SC, I have a hard time putting yellow perch in my tank. Water temperature and water values ​​are good but they don't want to survive. I only keep 1 perch in my 55 gallon tank, is the tank just too small to hold 1 perch? Help me out!

I love native fish. I have even kept a few myself. But most of them get too big for me to keep at the moment. So far i have kept fathead minnows, emerald shiners (wild caught), and a juvenile bluegill(also wild caught). I would love to keep some of the more bizarre ones like bowfin and American eels.

Excited never get to see how they behave. Very interesting. TY

@@SCFishKeeping This is an important question, requiring much consideration. 😊 I have a few candidates for your consideration: Julio Santana, the world's deadliest hit-man. He is from the Amazon, so maybe not quite as appropriate for a North American fish. Sarah Connor (from Terminator films) as a completely bad-ass lady, if it turns out your muskie is female. Chuck Norris - did he ever play anything not deadly? El Tigre, alluding to the tigerish stripes as well as his deadliness Killer - simple and to the point.

I use two different kinds of DIY lids! The white stuff is called egg crate lighting diffuser. You can get it in a big sheet from Lowe's, Home Depot or Menards for cheap! Then you use a knife and sort of... Hack it to size! Works great because you can cut out sections around filters or cords and still have a snug fit to the tank!

I'm waiting for the news that you're building a giant in ground pool in your backyard or something to keep these monsters. 😅 that would be epic though

Good luck. When it gets triple in size. Be sure to cover its tank. They love to jump out at moving prey. I use to work at a fish hatchery, breeder. Stocked lakes.

The pike looks like what I pictured a freshwater barracuda would look like

Dont let anyone give any problems for owning a pike, they are invasive and just like the snakehead, if you catch one you can not release it back into the wild, you can kill them all day without any problems from fish and game. There are lakes with pike in them where they have completely wiped out all the native fish and there are now only pike in the lake.

Crazy predatory fish, I’ve caught Tiger Muskie in Nevis Minnesota

I live in Louisiana and I have many snakes ( pythons colubrids etc...) and other stuff. Well I have a all planted stank and a 55 gallon pond. and a 20 gallon pond. I just caught a baby (4-5in) Redfin pickerel. under the roach in a storm drain. hoping to get a baby bass with 2 bluegill.

I have kept muskellunge before, both tiger muskellunge and green muskellunge. I used to have a 6,750 gallon diy tank that was 15x15x4 in my basement and I would like to say I did this in the 90's and the cost to feed one of these amazing and awesome fish is wallet crushing, so good luck with this Zac. Reach out if you want to talk about the 6,750 gallon build I had in my first house. I also currently have some Long Ear Sunfish that are breeding, just hinting.. lol

How did you get the musky

Had a tiger Muskie deadly and beautiful loved that fish ! You think a great white is bad wait till you meet me tiger Muskie lol
