Same here. I have balance issues in particular, and you have to be on your game wading across rocks in a creek. I loved it back in the day. I'd love to do it again, but I don't see it happening.
Richard take another piece of a plastic trick worm etc… grab a lighter and melt or weld worm piece onto where your craw pincer meets the craw body. This will give you added strength, and keep the craw pincers from tearing off so easy. Rob
Out of all the UA-cam Anglers.Ole Richard Gene would be my #1 to fish with. I love the OG fisherman. Take this old man out in a Jon boat with 50 tournament rigs and he’s gonna hurt ya feelings!!!!!!!
Thank you Richard, for takin us along again. Great job with the mud bugs. Thank you for all the tips and techniques you share with us. God bless you brother and your family. Stay safe out there on your fishing trips.
This is great information regarding the crawfish. I've always wondered about making the artificial bait look more like the natural bait. I just bought some plastic crawfish. I'm going to have to find some natural crawfish to see what color they are. Thanks for the great information! This is a great fishing channel
Growing up in middle Tennessee, we would wade the river with our ole Zebco 33, 202 or 404. We'd catch us a bucket of minners, crawfish, or heldemites(as called'em) and fish the rocks and logs. Them big rockbass (black perch as we called'em) would latch on and you thought you'd just hung a stump! Me and my brothers would catch a stranger full . We'd clean them and Momma would fry them! Prolly the most fun I've ever had growing up. Fine fine eat'n! Thanks Richard, great memories you've brought back! God Bless!
My tv stays on your channel all day long.. The wife, kids, and myself love your content.. When were not watching we are fishing and your sayings always with us.. that’s a good one right here. that’s a Purdy fish. Let’s let’em go. We love keep up the good work and remember. Go fishing when ya can cause it’s good for ya.. give my wife Tabitha Short a shout out when she is not nursing she is fishing
Funny story...2 weeks ago went with the little boy down to the San Bernard River in Texas. One of only a couple rivers to hit the surf in the gulf of Mexico and not a bay. The Rio Grande is another. Anyways, I bought some Yum brand craws. I did well with the bass, but the claws didn't hold up which was annoying at first. I could only catch 1 or 2 bass and they would be gone. When all the craws had lost them I had the bug on my jig head with no claws. I said heck with it and I kept throwing it because the sun was about to be down. I pitched that bug across the creek and BOOM I had the biggest Crappie I've ever caught, 14 1/4"s. So my grumpyness with bait ended up turning into a WHOO, I'm talking WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Ahhhhaaahahaa!! Richard Gene !!! Has anyone ever looked to see if yer plugged in all the way??.🤣😂😁🙃😜🤪 ....you have to be one of the bestest ---n craziest fishermanz on UA-cam!! Always enjoy your channel😉👍...but boy i dont know how Momma Sue puts up with you!!
Thank you Richard for taking us along. It sure would be nice to walk that creek with you and tell fishing stories and catch spots like that they are good ones for a creek for sure. God bless you and yours
WOOOoooooo!!! You are a delight to watch. Every time I watch you I learn new techniques. God Bless you and yours. And remember, make videos when you can and take us with you, cause it's goooood fer us..
Thank you for all you do brother I have learned so much from watching your channel I just got to say thank you and god bless you I catch a lot more fish now thanks to you have a blessed day brother
@Richard Gene The Fishing Machine do a must have lures video for us florida bank fishing guys! More pond and river videos! Do more videos on Z-Man lures
I seen ol Bersil the other day. He was complainin bout his feet bein sore. I says, Bersil if ya clipped yer toenails, it might help. God bless you Richard! 🙏
Don’t get better than that , used to fish up in Kentucky when I was in the service , loved those creek bass , watching you reminds me of those days long ago , thanks again for sharing your video
Richard, this is out of your wheelhouse. The next level on your channel would be to test your skills radically (accept challenge )outside your comfort zone . To that end , I invite you to Overland Park KS ( metro setting but well managed fisheries close by) to fish with me. I am a retired passionate fisherman who has his freezer full of rainbow trout, catfish, bass, crappie, bluegills and channel and flathead catfish. Northern fishing is different than TN area and metro area fishing in particular, ( I know because I'm formerly county small town) is much different than you might be used to.. but,.I'd be honored to go with you if you ever showed up here. We got room for a guest so stay free😂
Sir, you are an absolute pleasure to watch - I put you right up there with the great Bill Dance!!! I think you should have some type of contest to win a day or two of fishing with you. It would be the experience of a lifetime for many of your subscribers I'm sure!!!! God bless and take care.
Kind a funny several baits you have been using lately at the creeks I thought about buying but I didn't but now I have been buying them I will get me some of these crawls thanks Richard GOD bless you and your family Richard
Enjoyed another video Richard after a hot day at work here in south Louisiana. Relaxing. I wonder if you dip that crawfish in red and mix it in with the boiled one’s would somebody try to peel and eat it. GOD bless and stay safe.
That’s awesome!.., this may be a little off the subject, but I’m new to the south (we’re in north Florida), and I gotta ask.., aren’t you worried about cottonmouths while wading those creeks? And how do you avoid running up on ‘em? Thanks in advance! Again, awesome video and channel! I enjoy all of your videos, but the creek fishing ones are my favorite! God bless!
I make and hand tie a craw that isn't rubber/plastic. It's not as detailed but that doesn't matter to the fish,you'll lose it before it gets torn apart. I also make leaches the same way.
Nice fish! Man, I wish you would come out to Georgia and creek fish with me. I'll pay your fuel . You give me some motivation to creek bass fish and always appreciate it
Hello Richard Gene Fishing Machine. Have you tried out the mule fishing burro bug by chance? Super durable plastic crawfish. I’ve caught 20+ bass on one plastic.
Its great to see you and Rocky double up more! You guys make a great combo! Have you ever fished Jordan Dam/Lake in the Wetumpka area? Thats where I fish mostly but I am dying to come up there to Guntersville one day!
Did you rig the crawl fish the same way you do other baits, with dental floss and glue? That's a great looking bait can't wait to try it out myself. Keep hookin em....
Off the top of ur head how many rod and reel u think u own. Richard of all the men that have fishing shows like yours you r the top one as you say in my opinion. Walking in them creeks do you ever see snakes.
That HD tackle is much lower priced than Nikko!!! About time we had a GREAT competitor for Nikko. Maybe they will come down in price a bit. I'm certianly going to try the 3 inch craws. You get 8 of them and that's only a bit over a buck each.
He’s the real deal, some of the other UA-camrs need to take some lessons on good content.
I’m getting the poles together and my 9 year old daughter and we’re hittin the creek!! I LOVE what you do Mr. Gene!
I took my 4 year old daughter out for her first time a couple weeks ago. She caught a bunch and had an absolute blast. Good luck!
I’m disabled and no longer able to fish like this. I really enjoy watching you ! I use to wade the rivers and creeks in the same way. THANKS
Same here. I have balance issues in particular, and you have to be on your game wading across rocks in a creek. I loved it back in the day. I'd love to do it again, but I don't see it happening.
Richard Gene Livin the Dream !! appreciate you taking us along and teachin us some tricks !!
Richard Gene is a mad fishing scientist and researcher. You would have made a great marine biologists. Really enjoy all of your videos!
Richard take another piece of a plastic trick worm etc… grab a lighter and melt or weld worm piece onto where your craw pincer meets the craw body. This will give you added strength, and keep the craw pincers from tearing off so easy. Rob

Thank you Richard, for takin us along again.

Craws have always been my favorite bait . I have caught absolutely EVERYTHING on them .

I'm going to have to find some natural crawfish to see what color they are. Thanks for the great information! This is a great fishing channel
Some of these creeks have some monsters living in them. Keep em coming
