    This is the first video ive watched of yours and you have left and you will leave a lasting impression. You are one of the few people i call a true fisherman. A fisherman ain't afraid to let their fish go, you ain't scared to use old tackle, and most of all, you care about the fish spawning. That is the definition of a fisherman.

      Richard Gene, I have a friend that must be related to Elmo . His name is Ruffus; he always bugging me to go fishing
      , but when I call him to go he's always comes up with a excuse as to why he can't go that day. ?? anyhow I came across your videos and love um. I,ve been trying my heart out to catch crappies for three years. no luck. I'm going to try your methods. They look simple and make since, not at all like all the other commercial type hyped up money shows out there. Yours are real and very entertaining. Thank you very much.

    I've never thought to use a peg float for anything but catfishing with santee-cooper type rigs or three-way rigs where I wanted my bait just off the bottom, until I saw this. seems much easier than using a slip bobber (which is what I typically do when crappie fishing), or a clip-on. thank you, I'm gonna have to try that out

    Mr. Gene, you tear those crappie up, my favorite type of fishing is crappie fishing and you do it effortlessly, the 1/32 weight is magic. i know you like that pink but in SC i found the slabs like a bright yellow and white swim tail grub, i think imma try and use that pink though! Thanks for the videos keep em coming

    as hair brained as you act you are a hell of a fisherman..not many people would be able to discern the differences in bites from watching their float go down to knowing the competition for food... it takes a lot I of time to know subtleties of Crappie fishing as well as you... I truly enjoy watching someone as skilled as you at their best on a good day... keep it up...
