The more I watch the more I like...I thank you for releasing those breeders You're a rare man Richard...and a good example to us all...Say hey to Elmo for me...
@@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine sir you are a testament to the great sport of fishing only take what you need release those you dont and share your skill with us. And I would ask you to help me I am going fishing and would like to know how to fish for big blue gill in cold water with lures from the bank please help me if you would your freind connor
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.
just wanted to tell you I'm a recent transplant to the guntersville. after watching your videos and a lot of practice I started finding some success with the crappie this winter. thanks for what you do man!
Your influence has reached Michigan sir! I have been out 3 weeks in a row and caught 1 fish. I'm hoping to have some better luck after watching your videos. You are a great teacher. Thank you for sharing.
It was a real pleasure to see you have a Record reel. I remember the first spinning reel my father had was a half bail Record. I love your info, keep entertaining us all
So True Richard, Fishing Is So Good for us! Thank You for all of your great videos and all the info you share, you are the best ever fisherman ever!!!!!!!!!
I catch and release 95% of everything I catch and I fish Guntersville and see it all the time people hitting their limit all the time on crappie and bluegill. We enjoy your channel and keep up the good work
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. ,
Brother I am LOVING your videos!!! Not only are they educational but they have just enough humor to latch on to your soul and keep you watchin! You sir are a rare breed and in my opinion, you're right up there with the man Bill Dance himself! I can definitely see you doing a TV show someday. Keep on fishin sir "cause its gooooooooood fir ye!"
I love you're catch and release attitude, just say a family of two,don't need anymore than 4 a piece. Catch that 8 and catch and release the rest. Makes the future brighter for the up coming fishermen and fusherladies. Love you're show my friend.
I really enjoy your videos Richard. I’ve been watching loads of them and many of them several times. I’ve learned so much already and can’t wait to start collecting the necessary gear and get started bank fishing for crappie. Thank you again. You’re an inspiration.
Before I watched your videos I could sit for hours without a single crappie. Now that I saw what you do I catch a bunch of crappie thanks for making these videos
great videos hoping to get to see ya on the river one of these days. I love to crappie fish. every time I watch these videos it makes me want to go fishing. keep it up
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
Awesome technique putting you in the strike zone yet off the bottom! Nice Slabs Machine, I believe your Eagle Claw Rod has measurements on it. Fish on!!
one time when i was fishing with my dad he told me its only a crappy if its to small to keep, and its a crappie if you can keep it! tight lines everyone!
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
People laugh at me when I use a float with a jig. Until they see me catching fish. Richard great bank fishing demonstration you da man! Elmo needs to get his act together lol.
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...
Thank you Malik! I hope one day to make this happen!! I would love to one day travel and fish with my viewers! At the moment I still work a regular job 6 days a week so it's hard to schedule trips. Hopefully in the future!
The rod he is using actually has a tape measure on it lol he must have forgot like I do sometimes. The Eagle Claw Powerlight IM-7. I bought it because he uses it and I love it!
ever thought of doing some slipcork catfishing videos would be nice to have a few of those mixed in with the crappie fishing ones. love the videos keep them coming.
Hi Richard, I finally found this video on bank fishing, thank you very much, I am learning a lot about crappie fishing from you! Tell Elmo I said duh huh......he will know what I mean :)
Also, you need a fishing show on The Outdoor Channel, you are very knowledgeable and fun to watch, get some big name's to sponsor you. Keep up the great work and videos buddy!
My wife loads me up with a bunch of chores and that cuts into my fishing plans. But I've been telling her I should go fishing when I can because it's good for me. She said she would give me a half hour late Tuesday afternoon. Wish me luck.
You make that look so easy and I've been trying to catch them and it's very hard for me but don't know how you do it....I enjoy watching all your videos but I'm a more of bank fisherman and fish a lot of floating marinas but don't do as well as you👍👍👍👍👍👍
Richard u the man , I like you talking about this time of year , i see and here a lot of people saying the fishing is not as good as it use to be ,but when they do catch fish with eggs they do not put back in lake it makes me sad to see this.
The problem is the people that have to keep every fish and pile up there freezers. Why not just keep a few to eat and throw some back so the fishing gets better?
Hey There Elmo I just found your channel in I absolutely love it I’m trying to watch all the video’s because I’m stuck in the house but I was looking on your channel on how you catch the crawfish in take the claws so they don’t pinch you if you can do a video on it are walk us through how you do it please stay safe out there in GOD BLESS you in your family
The more I watch the more I like...I thank you for releasing those breeders You're a rare man Richard...and a good example to us all...Say hey to Elmo for me...
Thank you for that comment Mike! And I will tell Elmo you said hello!
Fishing with Mike Chavez queen

More bank fishing if you can I'd like to see how it's done more often in the late fall and on into the winter crappie bite

I more than appreciate comments like this Lucky 530. Means alot to me that you commented that!
I live in Union Grove Alabama and i see a lot of people fishing but not many true fisherman. Do you happen to know anyone with the last name Royster?
I don't think I do

You can make some marks on your rod handle so you don't have to carry a tape to measure.
good idea
that really is a good idea .
Jboat571 X Man that's a great idea thanks for sharing !
Elon musk of fishing
The rod he is using actually has a tape measure on it lol he must have forgot like I do sometimes. The Eagle Claw Powerlight IM-7. I bought it because he uses it and I love it!

Richard u the man , I like you talking about this time of year , i see and here a lot of people saying the fishing is not as good as it use to be ,but when they do catch fish with eggs they do not put back in lake it makes me sad to see this.
I agree Danny! I wish more people would catch and release
The problem is the people that have to keep every fish and pile up there freezers.
Why not just keep a few to eat and throw some back so the fishing gets better?
Another awesome video Gene, I've experimented a few of your tips and I find catching crappies alot easier. Thanks for your videos keep em coming.
Thank you Keith! and will do!
I like bank fishing videos...it's what I do.😊
I am absolutely 100% certain that if you were to tie shoelaces to a broomstick, you still catch more fish than us!
Well thank you for that Falcon 2701! That might be a fun challenge!! lol
Now there's a lost art... Cane poling. I would love a video of that. I better teach my grand kids too!
love the old reel, I've had many.

Thank you TPHVICTIMS! Thats probably right, it very slow
Nice fish.
