I went crappie fishing yesterday, minnow and float setup. We had a great time and I was talking about you and all the fishing wisdom I have learned from you.. Thanks!
Thank you! I have nothing against them though to each there own. But no @NeilTapia I do not own nor ever used one. God bless you both and thank you for watching!
You’ve taught me alot about crappie fishing this past year Richard & I can’t thank you for that. Putting meat on the table and having fun doing so. God bless you and your family sir
Richard, you love saying what’s your opinion…. Let me tell you something brother when it comes to this fishing shit, your opinion is the only opinion that matters you keep preaching brother we love ya man
Thank you for your time on the water and your willingness to make an informative video. Sure there is some excitement and comedic traits to your videos but that's why I choose to watch. The way you take the time to explain what you're doing is like being part of a fishing instructors zoom class. I have fished all my life but I still learn something new every time I tune into to you. Sorry for the long comment. You just keep being you. Until next time. Can I get a Whoo.
You absolutely can get a WOOOOO!!! and thank you so much for the valuable feed back on the videos! It's good to know what people like to see when it comes to this channel so i can further improve! God bless and thank you for watching!
My brother and I always talked about going fishing with Richard gene he would “Woooo” everytime he caught a nice size crappie we learned a lot from this guy right here and caught alot of fat crappies. My brother passed away in a bad car accident 2 years ago but I’m still going to try complete our goal and fish with Mr gene someday
Richard, I agree with you. There are times when a fish will hit live bait when you can't get them to hit anything else and hit it quick, too. I caught my personal best bluegill while crappie fishing with shiners. I was thought maybe the shiner I was using was too big for crappie and I catch a bluegill! Who would've thought. Thanks, Richard. When you show up, I go fishing. End of story.
i was taught to hook them through the eye socket, from one side through to the other being careful not to hit his eye and blind him. it has always worked and the minnow did just fine. I'm gonna have to try the method of hooking them through the mouth though. but will probably stick with the eye method just because that's what my dad taught me and he has passed away a couple years back. so some things you do out of love. even if they may be a better way. i hope everything I'm learning from RG works on over at pickwick dam and lake area. ;)
Great teacher I’ve been watching you several years now fished all my life , But have learned so much just watching you and understanding more about Crappie fishing with each episode love and enjoy you never miss a week Jim from southern Illinois
Good afternoon, Richard. I hope you and your family had a very nice Thanksgiving. Thanks for taking us with you today and sharing your knowledge and tips with us. God bless y'all and stay safe out there on the water.
One of the best. Shows out there. Have you seen how 903 fishing, hooks his minnows on a number 2 Aberdeen hook?? I have starting hooking same way, and you can sometimes catch three to four crappie on same minnow, and hookup has been better and miss very few. Get excited always when I see a new piece of a show from yours. Ashland Kentucky up on the Ohio river.
Crappie are starting to stage up on Lake Okeechobee now! We will be catching them for the next few months as they spawn! I’m ready to catch some of those slabs!
I believe up here in Michigan we have the same minnows, they call them fat head minnows. Used to get emerald shiners but can’t seem to find them anywhere. I use same hook but usually a small slip float and split shot. Through the ice I’ll use a tiny treble and small ice float, the float will quiver the slowly drop down the hole👍
In my family we crappie fish the day before Thanksgiving an the day after. Brother using minnows that we catch at the landing catches more an bigger quality crappie every year. That's they best part when you see that float stand up then just disappear.
If it weren't for my thrugh hull port cracking and leaking water in my boat about as fast as having the plug out (thank god for bilge pumps) I'd be out there with ya!
Mr Gene I Would Love To Fish With You One Day For Crappie With Live Bait ! My Best Friend/Cousin Passed Away Last Year And We Always Crappie Fished ! We Both Watched Your Channel Whomever Saw A New Video From You We Would Send Out To Each Other And Friends ! I'm Located In Muscle Shoals Alabama ! 🙂🙏💯
Iv not caught any crappy yet... gonna try this method been catching bass and mud fish off minnows. Fishing under trees gonna try up under a bridge next then just float in put a few lines in the water..been watching different UA-cam videos and asking fisherman. Just can't seem to locate them😢
Locating them can depend on a lot of factors. Even in this video, because of the front coming in the crappie where somewhat scattered. I have a few videos on locating crappie depending on time of year, water temp and so on. I hope they can help and hope you catch a bigun! God bless and thank you for watching!
I'm tired of being a youtube fisherman I fish in one of the best areas in Georgia, Lake Seminole, Spring Creek I can catch small bluegill and plenty of catfish in my home state Michigan I catch plenty of walleyes and smallmouth bass and I share my location with other fisherman, I am very upset that the youtube fisherman's will not give you information on the areas of the bodies of water where they are fishing I thank you for the knowledge I like taking trips to different areas I would like to make a visit to your area I enjoy your show on youtube
I’ve learned so much from Richard’s videos. But I have a honest question: Can Richard go to an unknown lake, without electronics of any kind, fish the bank and still catch crappie? I have grown frustrated with ‘fishermen’ who catch fish with the crutch of electronics. That’s not fishing… that’s not a practice of applied knowledge through trial and error or fisheries biology to find and capture fish. It’s cheating.
Yes of course! I have quite a few videos of me doing that in various bodies of water though I don't always specify that I've never fished in that location in a video. I rely mostly on my knowledge of fish and bait fish in areas to locate my target species. I also study patterns on my own lakes across the years. Maybe that would be a good video idea explaining how i would approach a new body of water and finding fish! God bless and thank you so much for watching!
Best fishing show on youtube!
Especially when he adds his comedy as well as his knowledge of fishing. 😊
I went crappie fishing yesterday, minnow and float setup. We had a great time and I was talking about you and all the fishing wisdom I have learned from you.. Thanks!

Thank you James for yours watching the video means a lot!
Yes, it looks so easy when he’s at the controls
Richard don't need livescope......he has skill
Haha can’t you see he has his Livescope covered up with his coat ❓
Thank you! I have nothing against them though to each there own. But no @NeilTapia I do not own nor ever used one. God bless you both and thank you for watching!
@ Nah just making conversation because I was watching Jimmy Houston laughing about finding big fish with his. Keep whacking ‘em ⚠️
Thanks again, look forward to each and every one.Keep them coming 😀
You’ve taught me alot about crappie fishing this past year Richard & I can’t thank you for that. Putting meat on the table and having fun doing so. God bless you and your family sir
Arctic temperature means 40 degrees to Richard Gene. in Alabama......ha.....great guy
Generally used minnows most of my life for crappie, RGTFM got me focused more recently on artificials, and now here he's pushing me back to minners! 😂
Thank you for all you !!!
God bless you and yours

"don't wear your minner out"............love the dude
Hi Mr. Richard. As usual, another great teaching segment. Thank you. Looking forward to the next one. God bless.

Once again another video full of encouragement. Let’s go hook up the boat. Time for some Crappie Therapy. WOOOO
Wonderful 👍🏻😊 thank you for your knowledge. And wisdom.
It’s a chance we could see him if we’re lucky if he’s in that area over there in Scottsboro, Alabama I’m over four hours away from him

I love watchin your videos, like im escaping back to the south from up here in orey-gone
I want to be there in those crappie ! That is my favorite way to fish but I use #2 & #4 gold wire hooks so they pull out of hangs easier, lol.
Your the best! Love your channel and have learned so much. Thank you!!!!!
Love your channel Richard, the wisdom of God and respect for God, as well as your in-depth knowledge of fishing. 😊
biiiiiig crappie. love it. you make me want to go fishing right now )
I believe up here in Michigan we have the same minnows, they call them fat head minnows. Used to get emerald shiners but can’t seem to find them anywhere. I use same hook but usually a small slip float and split shot. Through the ice I’ll use a tiny treble and small ice float, the float will quiver the slowly drop down the hole👍
Goodun Elmoooooooooo!

In my family we crappie fish the day before Thanksgiving an the day after. Brother using minnows that we catch at the landing catches more an bigger quality crappie every year. That's they best part when you see that float stand up then just disappear.
Early Artic freeze up up north here
Heck, 45 degrees. It's much colder where im at 26 degrees right now.
That's rough!!! God bless you brother
If it weren't for my thrugh hull port cracking and leaking water in my boat about as fast as having the plug out (thank god for bilge pumps) I'd be out there with ya!
Is it pretty cool down there too? Im in Kansas and water is cool.
Right now it's freezing especially at night!
Wooo Awesome video and those Sac-a-lait are gonna be some good Eatin’ 👍👍 Stay safe and warm Sir and Remember Keep’em coming
How do you clean your crappie? Been watching for years never seen you clean one. Thanks.
I need to make a vid on this soon! I clean them a few different ways, so it would be good to share them on a vid! Thank you and God bless
Good fish!
More Mama Sue videos, pls? 😊
🤓☕️❤️👍 love you videos as usual Richard please keep them coming

Whisking I had sum miners last time I was out bluebird day after cold front usually 95% of the times I use jigs
Are crappie good eating? We used to catch them for fun and release but never considered eating them.
In my opinion very good!!!
Gene you give Roland Martin a run for his money
Thank you! Would love to shake his hand one day. Grew up watching him and Bill Dance!

Have you tried different depths

How do you find these fish in all the vastness of that water...or maybe they are everywhere there.
With years and years of fishing different places on lakes and rivers you tend to know where to go
I'm getting a lot of questions like this one. I'll try to do a video on it!
yes they can certainly resist it if they arent biting
Gene ,I think you can catch a crappie in a mud hole,can I fish with ya,bless you an momma sue.
Fish on
Keep the rod bent Richard
I only use minnows why? because they work
💜🎣
