This is absolute genius Chris! I very much enjoyed the video and will definitely be acquiring some of these traps!

Jaxon just watched the video with me! He said you have lots of fish Pa!

Excellent tips .. Tried them.. They really work!!!

Awesome, love how easy this methode is! There are some stunning fish in there to

You’re a genius, Chris! An absolute pond guru! 💚

Wow that’s a lot of baby shubunkins caught after three days. These traps made catching these smaller fishes so much more efficient and easier. Good work! 👍

Hey Chris! You can borrow my small hands. Wow! You caught a lot of fish that way. Neat idea! Fun video! Have a great weekend!

Nice solution for catching fish! We do the same for fishing crayfish here. Thanks for sharing.

Great job!!

Your Kois are beautiful! One day, I will have a pond like yours. Very jealous :)

It's great to have a husband and wife team. She also has a great voice and laugh. 👍

Your contraption is very effective. I’m impressed. That’s why I love watching your videos because I learn so many things.

Wow Nice trap to catch the baby coin That was a great idea

I think I pushed the wrong button and leaked this video early, but now that it has been widely released I think you will all agree with my opinion that Chris is a master baiter

Yes mate i didnt get any notifications about this video..watching now

Reminds me of the traps we would use with you as kids !

Thank you Chris. I will add more cover for them in the spring! Love ya, Susan 🙏🏻👋

I never heard of these traps . Very interesting video .

Great tips!!!!

Cleaver idea buddy...nice one

Brilliant way of catching the fish Chris 🙏🐟🐟🐟🙏

love the pond

don't know how we missed this Chris.....daggone notifications....this was super interesting sir.....you take such great care of your Mother's pond for her!!!!

Awesome job brother 👍👍👍

greetings Cris, nice fish traps, love the arts and crafts 2.0 your ponds are looking great, wow there's a lot of baby shubunkins you caught my friend, have a nice day

Yeah nice technique there mate like it 👍👍👈 and that hard work definitely paid off man great job 💯nice.

Been looking forward to this one. Love those traps and the technique. Really interesting enjoyable video. Great work all. 👍

Exactly what I was looking for. I have a friend who wants to give me several small koi for my pond but trying to net them by hand appears impossible. I have several of your kind of traps. Here in Oregon we use them for crawdads. So glad you posted this video!

Those traps have got me thinking mate 💯👍👍👍

Hi Chris, you are really brilliant with this system, you made me think of the gillnets they use in Southeast Asia to catch shrimp and crabs. There is another system that I saw just yesterday in an Indonesian channel of a friend of mine who fishes in ponds with an umbrella net. Your system is practical and selects young specimens. Great!

Nice and easy 💪💪

Full of information great video my friend. How to, DIY, all of it. Staying in the lines is a very hard task to accomplish but I have faith in you 👍 Thank you Sandra 💐

Thanks for this video. I really like your traps. I'm having a hard time trying to get my fish out from my pond without trying emptying the water out. :(

Still watching thoughts lol...I just to be the first to comment it lol 😆

Omg I'm just so happy and relax watching your video everytime😍... I can learn a lot from you. You did a great job my friend!. I just wondering why I did not see notification from you. That's quite a lot good catch my friend 😊👍.

Nice video Chris.

I think this is one of my favorite videos from you. This is nice to see how they come out Chris. Do they often survive when you bring them in? Great video and have a good weekend😆

This video never popped up on my subscriber list of videos 🙄🤷‍♀️ KZfaq is crazy sometimes 🤪 Great video Chris and fantastic advice!!! Helped me!!

How come I never thought of that lol...love your mom's pond and it's basically the design I want to do next year just a bit smaller. Really enjoyed this Chris and sorry for the late comment 👍😁

Big liked44👍👍👍👍🔔🔔

Very e-fish-ient... ;)

That's a brilliant way to catch the fish out of the pond! Cool twine dispenser, too. I wonder if the fish ever get wise to the traps over the years? My fish seem to remember the net from the store and all flee into corners of the tank, even if I'm only using it to remove floating plant matter. Hope you're having a nice weekend, Chris and Sandra!

Great idea in catching 🎏🐟 your pond is so very nice wants to have it too😁😁I'm enjoying watching 🐟 Have a nice weekend 🔔🔔🔔Hehe you catched it😁 Greetings from Philippines 🇵🇭

Thank you. Super helpful. I have two ponds. An upper pond with 14 koi and two very juvenile gold fish and a lower pond that didn’t have fish. They are connected by a stream too shallow for the fish to pass. My lower pond that didn’t have fish is now swarming with baby fish. We have no idea if they are koi or goldfish but given that the goldfish in the upper pond are only a few months old we are guessing they are koi. The pond size won’t support the several hundred baby fish. Draining the pond and getting rid of the babies would be a significant undertaking and would be emotionally draining for me. Your video gives me hope for how to reduce the fish load. And hopefully if they are koi the local koi shop will be willing to take them. Thank you.

First!... :)

Hear from work brother

Hey Chris - i got a minnow trap and it's great at catching the 2" koi and goldfish. I now have 3 2" ones in less than 2 hours. I like the fact it doesn't traumatize the fish or the pond chasing them with a net!! The hole is too small for the 4" fish that i need to catch as well. It looks like you were catching the larger fish with a different trap than the one i have. Can you tell me which trap you have that would work for the larger fish? Oh and what are you using for bait?? and BTW....Thanks for posting the video - it was quite helpful!!!

What are the bags made of?

What is the bag made of

Hi Stubbs quick question for you are the fry when young, are they golden in colour like gold fish till they get a little size to them, then change to the reds and blue and blacks etc etc as you said in the video some dont change but the others did have some colour, or do they have the colour just after fry stage ? great traps as well work a treat 👍👍👍

Is there a trap youd recommend? I got one that looks just like yours and I got one of the biggest goldfishfrom my pond inside...ERG

I have hundreds of gold fish in a huge pond I need out what to do with the fish?

i agree that these big clumsy bear paws aren't always the best tool for some of these detailed jobs.

why do you bring them inside?

I tried using a home made minnow trap made from a water bottle and I can say I didn’t have any success catching my fry 🤣😭😂
