By the time the video was up for 13 minutes it already had over 600 views and 73 likes. Zero dislikes of course. I think some of us bite on that Richard Jean video faster than the fish he goes after. Keep those videos coming Richard Jean, they're good for us!
Richard, you are truly an inspiration for me to become the best fisherman I can be and to never stop learning. I bet I'm not alone in this either. Thank you Sir for the most entertaining fishing channel on UA-cam! Go catch another one! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
God bless you Richard Gene! We love all of your videos and I especially love your catfish videos! Keep on going Richard! Gooo fishin when ya can cuz its gooddddd fer ye!!!! :)
Awesome video Richard 👍. I just got three of those rods from Academy as well. I got the 7'6" spinning rod's. Plan on taking them to the pay lake to break them in on some cats and carp.
I agree with you on fishing. When an animal has been shot dead, you can't put it back to grow bigger. Will await the bluegill/catfish video with great anticipation. Have watched the others several times.
The first fish we call them White humpbacks. Blues here are real dark with big black lips. appreciate your videos and been using some of your techniques like the small hook and whole night crawler. Works!
Richard fish Flat Heads go to Iowa and fish the tributaries of the Iowa River. Average Flat Head is about 20 pounds. We used set lines, a pole stuck in the river bank with a line about 3-6 inches off the water surface with a Sun fish for bait. Flat Head takes the bait hooking himself. Works like a champ.
Richard, it wasn't a month or so ago I saw you had 102,000 subscribers,or somewhere in that neighborhood.... up to 105,000 now... your growing fast friend, that's great to see as one of your fans sir!! keep doing what you are, your doing great!!!
Those shad are what we call small to medium cutters down here in North Texas. Large shad would be 12 to 14 or more inches in length. BIG bait = BIG fish. Thx Richard,you're the best!
What a great video. Momma would beat me about the head and shoulders if she found out I’d released catfish. I hate cleaning them, but she loves eating ‘em and lets me go fishing. Actually, I’d happily catch her some small cats.
I have to fish with what I have I can't afford all them expensive rods like you have but I enjoy what ever I catch I have caught a 15 lb flathead on 6 lb test with a number 2 wire hook enjoy your videos they are about the only ones I watch now everybody is setting watching a screen and putting the lure are bait in the fish's mouth that's not fishing that is just catching good luck to you God Bless
Love your videos! Keep 'em coming. If Elmo ever gets his own youtube channel you may be in trouble! On one of your upcoming videos can you show us how you identify where the baitfish are and if you use your fishfinder to find them?
fishermen are my people. I've never seen a blue catfish in the flesh, but THAT first fish was beautiful and looked strong and meaty. it reminded me of resilient and wild ocean fish. if this video was shot on the same day than I'm living in the wrong State
I use a chicken rig from the shore, with 5/0 octopus hooks and strawberry jello and artificial vanilla marinated chicken breast, on a 20lbs mono line. I've never got a flathead with it, but I just dragged in a 26" 8-10lbs channel cat with it. The scoundrel hit so hard that, even with the drag loose, it snapped my rod holder at the 4 spot welds.
I have always sworn by those Abu Garcia Ambassadeur reels. I have two of the smaller 4500S and one of them I assembled out of 3 reels that my buddy and I had when I was a teenager. I used to put 80 lb mono on it and catch blacktip shark on it. It's missing a few parts by now (24 years after I assembled it), but it's still a nice reel and it's still sentimental to me.
It's simply a known fact, Richard could catch feesh out of a shot glass. The Machine is an amazing angler, comedian and video producer for sure. God Bless you Richard, keep em coming. It is also best to understand that when a rod says "medium heavy" you should classify it as "medium heavy". Now there, that wasn't hard was it?
I Only use sufix for my fishing line. Mainly the braided super line. Well worth the money. With line i have learned most times you get what you pay for.
Hahahaha every time I hear you say go fishing when ya can cause it's good fer ya I think of Colonel Ernie Lee I watched him all my life until he was gone loved that man great guy. Yeah I'm a Tampa boy bred and born.
Caught a few Blues. Their bellies are full they appear to be feeding up for winter. Great video Mean Gene. I am going to go out and Target some flatheads next time this weekend LOL cuz it's good for me
Ha ha Boom Dog looking like Dad omg what are you doing? Wonder which he meant when he said medium heavy twice? Lol he gets sooo excited and I cant say I blame him either. Love some Richard Gene The Fishing Machine.
Hey Richard! Another awesome video. Thanks for the tips! I live near Pittsburgh and I've been having trouble figuring out the fall bite, but I'm hoping to get there buddy. Your vidyas are helping!
I love how far fishing line has come from 20 years ago 30 lbs test today is way stronger than 30 lbs clothes hanger line from back then!!What's best is you have y'tubers like RGTFM showing you all the different lines you can use i friggin love it!!WHOOO!!How do you spell wooo?
Those are the same as Tournament Choice rods that’s what I use they’re great rods hold. up well and take one heck of a fight I have eight or ten of them both casting and spinning
Ya know? I got me some of them there Elmo nose hairs in mu dang ears!! Annoying as heck,,,,,,,,, ahhhh well. I sure wish we had catfish in my area, but we just don’t, I have to go from Alberta, Canada all the way to Manitoba. 10 - 14 hour drive depending on what area I chose to fish in Manitoba. I usually go for Walleye and Trout, but I’m going to get a few rods and tackle together, line up a couple of buddies and drag my boat over there. You have inspired the next fella’s road trip! Sell my one walleye boat (kinda have 2, and get a nice 18 ft pontoon boat. Either this late fall or next spring! They currently are buried under an early heavy snow storm here. Might be a loonnggg winter!!! Yikes! You, Elmo, and all yours take care and best wishes. GOOOOOOOD FISHINNNNNNN!!!!! EH.
Thanks again Gene for another fun video. Why do you specifically like flatheads? For the fight? Do you have certain types/sizes that you like to keep to eat? I hooked a monster the other day but was only in my kayak, so I had to let him go!
I'm a simple man. I see a video of the LEGENDARY RICHARD GENE THE FISHING MACHINE I click on it. Not overly complicated just very simple
I couldn't agree more with you, I see his videos and can't help but watching!
Hands down best fishing channel on the tube. Thank you Mr. Gene for all the vids and fishing knowledge you share with us.
By the time the video was up for 13 minutes it already had over 600 views and 73 likes. Zero dislikes of course. I think some of us bite on that Richard Jean video faster than the fish he goes after. Keep those videos coming Richard Jean, they're good for us!

Every other youtuber: "OMGGGG GIANT HOLLLYYY COWWWW SLAUNNNNCHHHHH WHAT A TOOOOAD PBBBBB"
Richard, you are truly an inspiration for me to become the best fisherman I can be and to never stop learning. I bet I'm not alone in this either. Thank you Sir for the most entertaining fishing channel on UA-cam! Go catch another one! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Another great day of fishing over a year ago. Somehow I'm gonna have to get to Alabama to fish, looks like so much fun.
This made my day again thank you for what you do for strangers your the man Richard Gene tell Elmo hello from Kentucky
Such is my love for Mr Gene's channel that I watch every commercial, subscribe and comment. I encourage others to do so as well.
"This rod is classified as medium heavy but I'm gonna classify this as medium heavy." I know what ya meant it just sounded funny 😂
I have no idea what he meant lol 😂
He meant that it wasn't medium heavy it was medium heavy.......simple.😳
That's my boy!
If you don't understand you definitely ain't from round here!
@Yo Dad yo bro chill
@Janga Lang probly needs subtitles if you don't live nearby. Lol for sure
Richard love what you do, Keep it up I cant get enough, Hey Elmo!
I'm a 14 year old saltwater fisherman In Florida and I really enjoy watching your content
My all time favorite fisherman & I grew up on Bill Dance, Hank Parker, Roland Martin, Jimmy Houston, & more!
Me too!!..Hey you remember Orlando Wilson fishin show??
@@mattharbison2011 That does ring a bell!
God bless you Richard Gene! We love all of your videos and I especially love your catfish videos! Keep on going Richard!
Gooo fishin when ya can cuz its gooddddd fer ye!!!! :)
Yes!
Truth is God said don't eat catfish only fish with scales haven't you read
can't go wrong with them ambassadeur reels
The best fishing channel on youtube. I been hunting catfish in ma for about 2 weeks now with no luck. Tight lines!
Fishing machine! My favorite you tuber!
Awesome video Richard 👍. I just got three of those rods from Academy as well. I got the 7'6" spinning rod's. Plan on taking them to the pay lake to break them in on some cats and carp.
Will you do a video of what you look for when catching live bait if you have time love the videos mr. Gene
I love the strong glass rods
Thanks Richard great show
Eeeeuuggghhh! Lmao that intro cracked me up! Love the lil clips of Elmo! Idk how many times I choked on a drink watching Elmo
That whole wall of rod holders is pretty sweet! I need to make something like that!
Hubby and I went fishing in one of our favorite creeks had a blast usually its catfish, to night everything was biting. So much fun.
I agree with you on fishing. When an animal has been shot dead, you can't put it back to grow bigger. Will await the bluegill/catfish video with great anticipation. Have watched the others several times.
Thank you Mr. Gene from Oklahoma. You have improved my fishing.
Awesome informative Video experience Y'alls God bless you 🙏
Thanks Mr. Gene, I always learn something from you. That's why I am here! Thanks Again , I enjoy your vids too!
Nice catches Richard, those yellow rods sure did the job well. Thanks.
Some nice cat's Richard! Those crappie are starting to perk up some to!! LIVE FOR THE THUMP MY FRIEND!!
The first fish we call them White humpbacks. Blues here are real dark with big black lips. appreciate your videos and been using some of your techniques like the small hook and whole night crawler. Works!
You should do a knot and rigging tutorial for different rigs. God bless
His older videos he had some.
"Slicks that one long hair back with jel", that cracked me up!
I use those exact rods and I love them. I use the orange bass pro shop baitcaster with clicker. It's my favorite setups
Were you have any issues with bad drag? I caught a decent fish the other day on it and it messed up on me.
@@marklaas4475 no I haven't had any issues. The drag system that's on them though is the weakest I've seen. I believe it's 9lb drag...
I like the new set up with the angle iron
Richard fish Flat Heads go to Iowa and fish the tributaries of the Iowa River. Average Flat Head is about 20 pounds. We used set lines, a pole stuck in the river bank with a line about 3-6 inches off the water surface with a Sun fish for bait. Flat Head takes the bait hooking himself. Works like a champ.
Wooo, Elmo help ol Richard out ever now and then. Specially when he gets excited.
Some nice Cats!! I thought your dog was gonna flip out when Elmo signed off. LOL Thanks for sharing Richard!!
Richard, it wasn't a month or so ago I saw you had 102,000 subscribers,or somewhere in that neighborhood.... up to 105,000 now... your growing fast friend, that's great to see as one of your fans sir!! keep doing what you are, your doing great!!!
Yeah buddy, some pretty good fishing at the dam. I'm ready to tear into some crappie here on weiss
Been watching for a while and also watching your subs go like a wildfire! Your hard work on this channel is paying off! GREAT JOB, OL’ BOY! 🐋🐋🐋👍🏼
They are classified as medium heavy but I'm gonna classify them as medium heavy lol good vid richard!
I ignore what it says on the rod, I just wait to hear because I don't consider them officially classified until RG classifies them.
@@FishOnIsMyHandle Good point!
Those shad are what we call small to medium cutters down here in North Texas. Large shad would be 12 to 14 or more inches in length. BIG bait = BIG fish. Thx Richard,you're the best!
The comedic value of your videos is underrated 🤣 Great fishing as always!

You should feed Elmo those catfeeesh.
I like your style richard. I have 5 of those cheepo yellow rods. They are tougher than anything.
Awesome video and great tips for catching catfish. Cool channel too.
Love your channel! Great content!
Lots of fun richard,!!!! Keep making those catfishing videos,!!!
Love your videos! Keep 'em coming. If Elmo ever gets his own youtube channel you may be in trouble! On one of your upcoming videos can you show us how you identify where the baitfish are and if you use your fishfinder to find them?
Good trip Mr Richard thanks for taking us along.
Yes sir,them cheaper hooks from Walmart hold up great and hard to believe how sharp them circle hooks are!
fishermen are my people.
I've never seen a blue catfish in the flesh, but THAT first fish was beautiful and looked strong and meaty. it reminded me of resilient and wild ocean fish.
if this video was shot on the same day than I'm living in the wrong State
The catfish that was purring at the end... you can see his little front fins trying his hardest to scoot along. Lol
Do you ever go up to TN to fish? I caught 9 catfish on Monday.
Sam Gilmore nice bro

Wow awesome nice catches and thank you for showing the knotless knot
Enjoyed it!
Like your fishing video keep up
Why would anyone be so low as to give Richard Gene TFM a thumbs down. Boy some people...
Always a good time when the Machine posts.
👊💀👍
Enjoyed the video, Richard, as I have all the rest. Keep posting!
Another great video Richard. I’m looking forward to another red ear and bluegill video. You have any luck finding them in the fall where you fish?
Great video!😊
Great day fishing and another Awesome video as always Brother 👊🏻👊🏻
I have always sworn by those Abu Garcia Ambassadeur reels. I have two of the smaller 4500S and one of them I assembled out of 3 reels that my buddy and I had when I was a teenager. I used to put 80 lb mono on it and catch blacktip shark on it. It's missing a few parts by now (24 years after I assembled it), but it's still a nice reel and it's still sentimental to me.
Great vid as usual. Thank you for taking me along
Love watchin the machine in action!
Great video my friend

Yep, it reminds me of him too. And his side kick Barefoot Brownie. Can't leave out Captain Wilson Hubbard. That's the way I got going every morning.
