My favorite thing about your videos is the fact that you don’t use a ridiculously expensive boat or gear. I’ve watched multiple videos and saw where you do the good old fashioned hook & live worm and catch fish left and right. Fishing should be fun and simple and that’s what you give us.
He does. Google sowbelly rods. They aren't exactly big box. Lol. His comment fits the sentiment of most of America, though. I think we'd all like to support local but certain things (like worms, ice, gas, etc) can be WAY more expensive at a small local shop vs big box store. Money is tight for a lot of people right now so paying more for a principle often doesn't make sense.
It depends on the shop for me. The local "3 Way" has crickets for $2.99 a tube and worms for $4.99 a can. The "Sweet Water" corner store is $8 for crickets or worms. If you can maintain competitive pricing you will maintain a loyal customer base.
I can’t speak for all Walmarts but most of the worms they sell at our Walmarts around here have at least a few dead. I’ve got a few cups of worms that were completely dead. I normally buy my worms at the mom and pop stores and they are normally healthier too… I think Richard was just trying to save people a little bit of money…
Such a SATISFYING video! I love how there are thousands of videos about which lure to use, jigs, chatterbaits, swim baits, a-rigs, soft plastics, etc.... but you just go out with 2lb line and a worn and wear them out !! Lol.
Me and my little girl sit here and watched you catch them bass now she is ready to go fish, and she love the end of the video when you say go fish because it’s good for you ❤
Absolutely agree with your last few sentences. You nailed it. We are not guaranteed or next breath! Enjoy every minute you have and take you little ones fishing! Stay safe and God Bless my friend
Never ceases to amaze me. Pulling in big big mouth bass on 2lb. Test line . Keep em coming Mr Gene. You throw em back for the love of the sport of angling. I'm still hollering "fish fry" great video 👍
Happy New Year, Richard, Mama Sue. Live bait, be it worms, minnows, grasshoppers, etc are always a wild card. Thank you Richard, for all you do for us, all the tips and knowledge you share. God bless ya'll throughout the new year. Stay safe brother on your travels to these fishing spots.
Someone made a book about it 50+years ago. Between that and Buck Perry's brilliant observations, you can catch fish anywhere. At least have a major advantage, lol. It is no mystery that 10% of fisherman catch 90% of the fish.
You never cease to amaze me… 2lb test and an Aberdeen hook catching river bass, in the winter at that…😅 You’re so in tune with what’s going on you know when to back reel to give him some slack… That just blows my mind… I mean I consider myself a pretty good fisherman but you’re just on another level… All it would take is one of those fish to get turned 180 degrees away from you and a full head of steam and that’s it… I’ve had it happen many times on 2lb test bluegill fishing and accidentally catch a decent size bass…😂 I accidentally hooked a carp while i was bluegill fishing when my daughter was little and he got turned away from me and pow… That was the end of that. She got so dang mad at me over a carp…😂 I still get a kick out of that… Lmao
Richard, God bless you my brother. Thank you for the message of making the best of your day whatever you're fighting. I needed that! Love watching you every time i learn something or notice something i can try out myself.
Another good thing to use a reddish color zman 2.5 inch creyfish with trophy bass. I'll put the splitshot 8 inches above the creyfish. This works well during the fall. Also, a grub worm with the hook built into grub worm with procure trophy bass by procure.
I didn't have any luck with night crawlers today with bass , so I put a spenner bait. And started catching them . I agree 100%God is great so enjoy the day he gave us.
Richard, my kids and I love watching and learning from you! You mentioned in this video that your drag isn’t working well. I know you like a smooth drag so I wonder, what you do to maintain your reels. Specifically, what do you do to maintain the smooth drag performance? Maybe you can give a brief explanation in a future video.
I finally found two pound viscous here where I live. You’re right it’s some good stuff. I caught some big fish on it. You caught some good uns! Awesome videos. Woooooo!
Hey Richard, great video. I love how you express your love and thankfulness to the Lord and that you share that with us. I think there is a lot to be said about living a life of thankfulness. I do my best all the time and it just seems to make me feel better. Where do you buy your sowbelly rods? Thank you!
Thanks Mr. Gene! Spots are on my favorites to catch, they’re mean as hell, and taste good as well. Know it’s not popular to eat them, but when I lived in Kentucky it was a good meal. Greetings from Germany! Hopefully I’ll make it back home
Imagine waking up tasting shellcracker for supper and stumbling accidentally on a ton of fun spots _on 2-lb line._ I love it. Wooo. Absolute wooooo. The only question I have Richard is did you take any shellcracker home? lol I get tickled when I see a new video. Happy New Year to you and Mama Sue.
Richard, have you ever tried the San Diego Jam knot? Tests have been done between the San Diego jam and the palomar. The conclusion was that the SD jam edged out the palomar in overall strength, although the palomar is easier to tie.
Another great video Richard. My goal is to add live bait to a lot of my days on the water this year. Your knowledge and simplicity are so enjoyable to watch. God Bless you brother until your next video.
Love that technique you’re doing. Makes me want to try it on lake Eufaula. Fishing along a ledge. I catch a lot of legal size bass on red worms before or not fishing the bottom for shellcracker. Same at lake Martin. Love your show
😅I wish you would come and do a series of shows on California lakes. Fishing out here is so different than the way I fished in warm shallow lakes in Texas. I wish you would come out here and give us some pointers, in the area of crappie bluegill and Catfish. You got a lot of fans out here Richard Gene. Please come fish with us.
Great video Richard. And i couldn't agree more with you about vicious mono. I use 2lbs ice mono when ice fishing and land big bass all the time. Great line and highly recommend it.
Loved watching this video in particular for some reason. Just the quality of fish on light line on a crisp day with such yellow and amber sunlight. Looked like a beautiful day. I tried Vicious 2lb mono only because it was all I could find in 2lb. and hi-viz. Turned out to be excellent line just like you say Richard. I love the stuff.
Richard, you have to be the best fisherman in the world. You are catching bass on 2lb test line , and I never use 2lb test line for bluegills. 6 lb test is my bottom line to use . Where I fish I usually use 10 lb because I could catch bluegills or bass .
Richard, can you start telling us the date you film your video? I live mighty close to where you fish and use your techniques a lot. Knowing what say you filmed tells me more info about when to use those techniques. Thanks.
Richard Gean I don’t care what neck of the woods ya from 2 pound test line and yes, by the way vicious is the best line that’s a great great spot Bass no doubt no good video brother, take care tell mama Sue Big hello
My favorite thing about your videos is the fact that you don’t use a ridiculously expensive boat or gear. I’ve watched multiple videos and saw where you do the good old fashioned hook & live worm and catch fish left and right. Fishing should be fun and simple and that’s what you give us.
Richard is the first person that I have ever seen back reeling.
I don’t think he has a choice! Man that 2 lb is thin.
He’s a fishing genius. So much wisdom!
Hey! Should be supporting mom and pop shops. 46 years here. We cater to people like you. Lots of benefits when you support the small guy.
He does. Google sowbelly rods. They aren't exactly big box. Lol.
His comment fits the sentiment of most of America, though. I think we'd all like to support local but certain things (like worms, ice, gas, etc) can be WAY more expensive at a small local shop vs big box store.
Money is tight for a lot of people right now so paying more for a principle often doesn't make sense.
Lots of moms and pops work at the big box stores these days. And are treated fairly well.
Idk some of the community makes their living working at those big box stores...
It depends on the shop for me.
The local "3 Way" has crickets for $2.99 a tube and worms for $4.99 a can.
The "Sweet Water" corner store is $8 for crickets or worms.

You almost broke out into that ol Johnny Gill song,, “my, my, my,, my my my my- my,, ya sho look good tonite”.
Without a doubt, you would have taken everyone's $$ in any local Bass Tournament. Love what you do no matter what you do lol! Keep em coming.
Hey Richard this is Kaylee's husband Jason man I love your videos. Thanks again for another great video and God bless y'all.
Such a SATISFYING video! I love how there are thousands of videos about which lure to use, jigs, chatterbaits, swim baits, a-rigs, soft plastics, etc.... but you just go out with 2lb line and a worn and wear them out !! Lol.
Me and my little girl sit here and watched you catch them bass now she is ready to go fish, and she love the end of the video when you say go fish because it’s good for you ❤
Some beautiful spots Richard. Alabama needs a new coach. YOU in?? LOL. LIVE FOR THE THUMP MY FRIEND!!
You're looking cold Mr. Gene! C'mon down to South Texas and let's go FISHING!
Absolutely agree with your last few sentences. You nailed it. We are not guaranteed or next breath! Enjoy every minute you have and take you little ones fishing! Stay safe and God Bless my friend
Awesome batch of footballs! Wild to see that those fish were just off the boat ramp like that.
Never ceases to amaze me. Pulling in big big mouth bass on 2lb. Test line . Keep em coming Mr Gene. You throw em back for the love of the sport of angling. I'm still hollering "fish fry" great video 👍
Happy New Year, Richard, Mama Sue.
Live bait, be it worms, minnows, grasshoppers, etc are always a wild card.
Thank you Richard, for all you do for us, all the tips and knowledge you share.
God bless ya'll throughout the new year. Stay safe brother on your travels to these fishing spots.
Fish love nightcrawlers. Period.
Someone made a book about it 50+years ago. Between that and Buck Perry's brilliant observations, you can catch fish anywhere. At least have a major advantage, lol. It is no mystery that 10% of fisherman catch 90% of the fish.
Richard, beyond a shadow of a doubt, you are the fishing machine!
Richard you are the best everyday fisherman out there bar none. Better yet, a really good guy. Keep it up!
Richard you are the man! I try to follow what you do in my own videos! Thanks for everything!
Another great Video RGtFM...I need to add to my vocabulary when fishing..."WAD of fish"
Thank you Richard for all your great info and videos. You are so right God wants us all to be happy and catch fish! Blessings are great! 😇
Fishing is good therapy,thanks Richard
You never cease to amaze me… 2lb test and an Aberdeen hook catching river bass, in the winter at that…😅 You’re so in tune with what’s going on you know when to back reel to give him some slack… That just blows my mind… I mean I consider myself a pretty good fisherman but you’re just on another level… All it would take is one of those fish to get turned 180 degrees away from you and a full head of steam and that’s it… I’ve had it happen many times on 2lb test bluegill fishing and accidentally catch a decent size bass…😂 I accidentally hooked a carp while i was bluegill fishing when my daughter was little and he got turned away from me and pow… That was the end of that.

Richard, God bless you my brother. Thank you for the message of making the best of your day whatever you're fighting. I needed that! Love watching you every time i learn something or notice something i can try out myself.
You know it's funny when I go fishing now. For some reason I find myself saying, "WHEW-WHEW"!!! 😂

You are the absolute master of 2lb line!!
I didn't have any luck with night crawlers today with bass , so I put a spenner bait. And started catching them . I agree 100%God is great so enjoy the day he gave us.
RG, I do believe you could catch fish in the middle of the desert! Woooo!
I love the mention of God in your videos man. Be bold!!! Lovr yhe message every time!!!
now that looks like some serious fun. i love ultralight fish. i always undersize my tackle regardless of the species im after.
A&M would gladly take him. He’s only the best coach in college football.

Where do you buy your sowbelly rods?
Thank you!
One of your most impressive trips RG! Identifying the fish, landing those bigguns with 2lb test. Nice!
Just another great video Thanks again Richard have a blessed day.

Got to go fishing with my son today. Had a ball. Thanks for always posting new content. You're the man Richard Gene 😎🎣👍🏿 Thaaaaay

Awesome Richard!!
Richard, have you ever tried the San Diego Jam knot?
Tests have been done between the San Diego jam and the palomar. The conclusion was that the SD jam edged out the palomar in overall strength, although the palomar is easier to tie.
what lake are you on and state?
Another great video Richard. My goal is to add live bait to a lot of my days on the water this year. Your knowledge and simplicity are so enjoyable to watch. God Bless you brother until your next video.
Nice trip Richard. Have a blessed day!
Great video my friend keep up the good work. God bless you and your family.

Wow. What behemoth spotted bass. I know that was a blast.
Why aint i getting Notifications for richard gene the fishing machine anymore ???? I cant be the only one !
Try unsubscribing and then resubscribing. Works for other sites
Oh yeah, it's because UA-cam sucks. Their algorithm sucks. Their censorship sucks.
THANKS!
It don't get no better than that, thank you Mr Gene!
Richard Gene, i'll say it again......youra' killin' meeeeeee.............nice trip and video............😎😎
You the man and a force to be reckoned with!
Great Job thanks for taking us along.
Best fisherman alive .
😅I wish you would come and do a series of shows on California lakes.
Fishing out here is so different than the way I fished in warm shallow lakes in Texas. I wish you would come out here and give us some pointers, in the area of crappie bluegill and Catfish.
You got a lot of fans out here Richard Gene.
Please come fish with us.
I would zoomed out of that ramp just like those other folks! Way to get em!
Great video Richard. And i couldn't agree more with you about vicious mono. I use 2lbs ice mono when ice fishing and land big bass all the time. Great line and highly recommend it.
Love the video and you and Mama Sue. Would be nice to see a "Bill Dance like" blooper reel! Haha, I know you have some so lets see it!
Happy New Year Richard and Sue Bob God bless ya'll hey Richard do you have merchandise?
My favorite channel Happy new year sir!
Amen, Mr. Richard Gene, Amen

Thank you Richard!
What a great video, I always learn something
Where I live they barely go after nightcrawlers. But when they do, it's always a big one (4+ lbs.)
Thank you for the blessing.
That was a nice fish, Richard!
Thanks Richard and God Bless
Some good ones there Richard! God bless and be sure to mind Mama-Sue!
Love to watch you. Because it’s good for you.
Richard, you have to be the best fisherman in the world. You are catching bass on 2lb test line , and I never use 2lb test line for bluegills. 6 lb test is my bottom line to use . Where I fish I usually use 10 lb because I could catch bluegills or bass .

You definitely took it to them today. Great fishing sir.
Another great great video God bless u and yours
God bless you and your wonderful family, Sir!!
God bless Richard Gene...
That was beautiful!
Thx RG!
Awesome Mr Gene
I have always used the Santiago Jam knot and never even knew what it was called. Any thoughts about that knot?
What fish finder do you use? 3:38
Richard Gean I don’t care what neck of the woods ya from 2 pound test line and yes, by the way vicious is the best line that’s a great great spot Bass no doubt no good video brother, take care tell mama Sue Big hello
