Lol! He ain’t that stupid!!! But we def need good Christian men in our gov, the lack there of is the reason we are in the mess we’re in.. tight lines, God Bless
Richard you do fishing like fishing is supposed to be done. You make me smile every time I watch you. Lot’s of guys take fishing too serious to the point they don’t enjoy it the way it is meant to be. God Bless you Richard
I just used this wacky rig and caught nice bass on lake Ouachita outside Hot Springs. My sister just got a houseboat there and I told her she should invite you to teach her some techniques. I was catching bass in her cove, listening to the beautiful birds and in awe of God’s beautiful creation. Suddenly, I’m hearing someone singing, I look behind me and she is paddling her kayak out to me with a drink and an egg and sausage burrito! For several years she has been caring for our elderly parents who passed two years ago 2 months apart. We learned the love of the water and fishing from our dear dad. I told her I bet Gene and his wife would love to spend some fishing time on lake Ouachita. We have mainly bass fished and salt water Texas gulf fishing. Would love to learn more about catching crappie. We have found many of the locals to not want to share their crappie secrets or places they catch them. They just said…..” oh we know where the submerged brush piles are”. Well, we never have had “fancy” gadgets for “finding” fish. We were at least going to buy fresh crickets but none of the bait shops had any. We drove 25 min out to Walmart by Hot Springs Village and they didn’t have any. So we watched some of your wonderful crappie videos and were wishing we were on your boat. Im in Memphis and I fish from my kayak at Glen Springs lake mainly for bass. The guys with their “fancy” boats and equipment always want to know how a gal in a kayak has a stringer of bass while they came in empty handed. I just grin, because a kayak is stealthy and I sneak up on them! I could stay out there all day but my legs getting too old to unfold out of the kayak. I just purchased a used Jon boat and haven’t tried it out yet. My son has been too busy and I didn’t want to take it out by myself for the first time. My sweet husband of 46 years has never enjoyed fishing but he is very supportive of my hobbie and never complains when I purchase more poles, tackle, reels, etc….
Richard gene, is a blessing, i dint have many good fishing places around here but he makes me feel like he takes me fishing with his video's. God bless you Mr. Gene
“Just my personal opinion…” Since you are a bass slaying machine, I’d say your opinion is very valuable!!! And I recognize that point you’re on - caught some dingers on topwater plugs right there! Hope to see you on the lake there next month!
Aw, what practice? You were catching fun-sized bass till your arms got tired. I know how much fun that can be. Can't always get the bigguns. It was a good trip, Richard. I'm awful glad I had the opportunity to go. Were you over near the airport? Wait. Never mind. Don't give it away. 😉🖖🎣
Man I can’t believe how far this channel has came… Still the same great content… Even better actually because you’ve got really nice video quality and sound quality and beautiful editing… I know a lot of work goes into editing… Keep ‘em coming Richard. I hit the like button before I even watch the video..😃
VMC makes a crossover ring that let's you rig it 2 different ways. Love the videos. Glad you mentioned Vercille we don't care if he's eating his Boogers or not.
Just so happened to catch this right after you posted! Love your content and so does my little girls lol. They've been quoting "go fishing when you can, cause it's gooooood fer ya" for a few years now 🤣🤣
Thank you for taking us along. We really do appreciate you. You are the best. We enjoy every trip regardless size or amount. Your a blessing to us as well. God bless you and yours.
I absolutely love watching your videos! You remind me so much of my late uncle Floyd. He was born and raised in rural central Florida and loved to hunt and fish. Some of the best childhood memories I have is fishing at his house.
Thanks for another great video. Took the family out yesterday and my youngest kicked all our hindends with a methiolite colored zoom trick worm with the tail split! Straight wore em out
Nice. Yep it seems like right after the spawn it's like all the bass hit in size spurts. Today was a small fish day here. None over 2 pounds. But numbers were awesome... Like that.👍😁
Mr Richard, you told me exactly what I needed to hear. Last weekend in a 6 acre farm pond, I had 20 bass in one day almost all on top water. My all time PB bass was caught on a craw very slowly fished right on the bottom, he was 19.5" long and perhaps 4lbs. Incredible fishing and an unforgettable weekend. Today, I caught 1 in 3 hours of fishing. I have been feeling stumped because I don't know how to fish the water here, only the farm ponds back home where I caught that hog. The key is gratitude. The bass I caught today was a beautiful, healthy, 2lb male. I'm glad that I met him. It was a wonderful evening of fishing. Thank you Mr Richard.
Richard, you are the GOAT! Any advice on avoiding gut hooks while using the wacky rig? I unfortunately feel like I hit em in the gills or gut 25% the time with this, but it's a darn effective method.
I was taught this technique by my neighbor and fishing buddy back in the late 1970's. I was still a teenager and wasn't terribly impressed due to the worm not looking like the worms on the fishing shows of the day. I figured if the guys who have their own tv shows don't fish like this, then it can't possibly work. Im 63 now and will say I have caught about 90% of the largemouth using this technique when fishing a plastic worm. I prefer a 6" Creme worm and put the hook through the egg sack. I also use split shot sinkers about 14"-16" up the line. No other way of fishing a plastic worm has ever worked as well as this for me. Back in the 80's and 90's I had more than a few "experts" laugh at this rig but at the end of the day my stringer was always bigger than theirs. It's caught bass from small farm ponds to lake Okeechobee.
There is some big ones around. They're just a hell of a lot smarter . Especially in clear water. I caught more of the bigger bass in stained tea color water.
Thank you much for the advice I've been wondering about the wacky rig I've never used it now I know how to use it thanks to Richard Gene the fishing machine we love you man
What a video! What a technique! I am glad I can go back and watch these videos more than once. This one had a lot of great content. Richard you are a real blessing. Everybody should be watching your videos and learning from your years of experience. Especially young fishermen! Glad you are passing your experiences on.
It's Saturday night, and I finally got a chance to watch your video. I gotta say it was worth waiting for. Have to agree, brother, no one should ever complain when fishing. If you're out , you should enjoy the day God gave you. If you catch a fish, that's just icing on the cake. Thank you Richard for taking us along with you. God bless you and your family. Thank you for all the tips and advice you share with us.
@Richard. I use the same method, but have recently decided to go barbless. There are many benefits, including not torturing the fish, avoiding gut hook complications, and less trauma means a quicker return to feeding for the fish. I know it also means that you may lose some, but I think benefits outweigh the risks . Wondering how you feel about this.
Richard My PB came on a wacky rig. Learned a lot from you today. I needed to hear what you said about fishing being a privilege. Thanks for the good words.
Great video once again! What kinda braid are you using? I want to try it and don’t know where to start because I’ve never tried it. Thank you for all you do and ROLL TIDE!
Richard gene for president 2024.
Lol! He ain’t that stupid!!! But we def need good Christian men in our gov, the lack there of is the reason we are in the mess we’re in.. tight lines, God Bless
Haha, he definitely better than the clown that's running it right now! But I wouldn't want to do that to the fishing machine LOL

If I watch a fishing video, I only ever watch Richard Gene the fishing machine. Well because I'll tell you Richard's videos are videos 2nd to none.

Like I always say"Don't call me when I'm on the creek unless it's bad urgent. Thanks so much Richard G. for the info..,...
“Just my personal opinion…”
Since you are a bass slaying machine, I’d say your opinion is very valuable!!!
And I recognize that point you’re on - caught some dingers on topwater plugs right there! Hope to see you on the lake there next month!

Can’t wait to try this! With the same lure

my new favorite saying ... "it works alot of times most of the time" Yogi Berra would be proud. I kid with with love.
lol, just like "commonly uncommon"
There is some big ones around. They're just a hell of a lot smarter . Especially in clear water. I caught more of the bigger bass in stained tea color water.
I also go fishing but watching you fish is great. have a good day
Good job brother
Richard, have you tried the VMC crossover rings? They would let you hook it with the hook the right direction plus you go through fewer plastic worms.
Thanks for another great video Richard. I learn so much from watching!
Thanks for the videos Richard.
Thank you for another great video, Richard Gene!
You ain't lying brother it's definitely a blessing for us to be able to go fishing and to catch them!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤ God bless
What brand is the white braid ? Thanks for the great videos!
Thank you much for the advice I've been wondering about the wacky rig I've never used it now I know how to use it thanks to Richard Gene the fishing machine we love you man
Richard - somebody is making an o-ring now that has an extra little part on it, so that the hook is oriented just like when going thru the worm.
Love that sweatshirt Gene
