Mr Gene you need your own tv fishing show !! I'd never miss an episode! It doesn't matter which video of yours I watch , I always learn something! Thanks for your passion of fishing to help make other fishermen better !!
I like to use 10 pond braid. Its stronger, but still think enough to cast as well as 2 pound mono. That way you can catch any kind of fish on one pole. In South Louisiana all of us Cajuns call crappie (Sac a lait).
Great video Richard, I watched it with my eleven year old daughter who loves to fish. Today I went out and did all the stuff you show on your videos, and sure enough hooked into a mess of summertime black crappies, none under a pound, and one 13" 20 ounce -- my personal best. Not bad for Vermont where few people know about them. I owe you a big THANK YOU! Can't wait to get the kid out catching them this weekend.
I check UA-cam every day to see if you have a new video. This one, like all your videos, is funny and informative. Appreciate your willingness to share things that help those seeking to become better fishermen, especially for CRAPPIE. And you are right - When you go fishin, "it's GOOOOD fer ye". Love the Bear Bryant hat too.
Great Video Richard! I've been watching your videos for a while now, and you're one of my favorite fisherman. You remind me a lot of my father and the way we used to fish every weekend. I have very fond memories of us going to Weiss Lake and catching 100+ slab crappie. Keep up the good work. You're going to do very well. Before you know it, you'll be at 100k subscribers!
From one bama boy to another, you got game my man. Keep the awesome vids coming. I agree that 10lb braid would be ideal but also love that drag scream on the 2lb. Do what ya do bud it’s working. Love how you express your appreciation for the beauty of our local fishes. Saw a 10lb drum today and thought it was pretty. Most anglers are annoyed by drum but I’ve caught huge bass and stripers and crappie in the same areas as drum. I’ve been catching good fish for years on Wilson and Pickwick. Hope to see ya on the water soon!
Another fantastic video....and you are hilarious, Richard! It makes me feel good to watch your videos...thanks so much for what you do....and "go fishin when ya can cause it's goooood fer ye"! :-)
I Live In Tennessee And I'm Going To This River On Saturday... I Love Your Videos... My Grandma Saw Your Video And Loved It So Much She Is Taking Me And My Papa To The River... Keep Doing What Your Doing :) "I'm Sick And Tard Of Being Sick And Tard" XD My Favorite Part
ANOTHER GREAT ONE MACHINE! I love Striper and Walleye fishing up here on Lake Cumberland. Your right the striper get HUGE! Can't wait for the winter Sauger fishing videos. Love learning how u do it! I do it on the KY river as well. Generally close to locks and dams drifting away from them jigging. Then go back and do it all over again.lol
Ain't them crappie pretty in that clear water... I love it. Can't wait for your Sauger videos. Love them jacks too. Best eatin' in the water. Getting hard to find. Keep'em coming friend. I'll be watching.
Great video, enjoyed watching you "have fun". When people ask me: "what are you fishing for?" Just like your video showed: "I'm fishing for anything that will bite." Thanks for the excitement.
Richard, as always, you get me stoked for fishin! I went yesterday for bass and evidently I had Elmo with me. I kept saying, "Come on Elmo, lets get another Billy!" HAHA. Keep them their vids coming buddy!
I Absolutely enjoy each and every video u hav 100% ...you are an awesome fisherman! Elmer/Elmo missed out didn't he lol😆 I loved it as always Richard.....thanks again 👍👍
Not a bunch of crappie, but dang boy they was big and fat! I use that same whipping technique for white bass here in Ohio. Cast out, couple hard whips like that and WHAM! They'll smack the bait off the jig it seems. Great video Richard Gene the fishing KING! Can't wait to rig up some of them 4x4 jigs!
I have noticed that if there are high power power lines crossing the river that large fish gather under them and have done well fishing there I have noticed power lines on your great videos. See if it works for you, LOVE your videos and watch them over and over but Oregon wont allow use of live bait for fishing . Great fishing Richard !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always enjoy your fishing video.thanks for all you do Richard You have taught me a lot and I appreciate it Got me all fired up now . I'm a gonna go fishing tomorrow ☺️😊
Dude that was a great crappie. can't wait for that water temp to come on down. Crappie taste better from cold water to me. That's just my opinion lol keep em coming
Every video you put out is top notch Gene. I've never heard them called salt water stripe, we just call em stripe bass here in KY. Keep up the good work my friend. 👍
Richard I've heard you mention collecting old reels. I have quite a few old ABU Cardinal 4's n one 6. Got a few of those old red Shakespeare reels that were good back then and a few old Mitchell's all of em are from the 60's and 70's holler back if you might be interested cause they are just ruining in the garage. I quit using the 4's when it became hard to get spools for em and they fry rot on yee. Thanks,
Lol. Gene Your awesome. Catch fish in a mud hole. Hey you've really moved me. I went and got another bass boat. I'll probably see you on the water. 👍S up
Hi Richard, you r truly the fisherman, enjoy your videos. Make me want to stay on the water. What type video setup r u using. Keep enjoying your past time, love it!!!
Hey RICHARD . Those were some nice fish . It sure appears those 4x4 jigs are going to be a great lure to have for all species. I would appreciate if you would let me know when and where those jigs can be purchased. Again great video !! Life is good,
Another fine video from the fishing machine. I was going to ask you have you ever crappie fished around the feed grains there in Guntersville I have always heard there are some big crappie there.
Question for ya Richard how do ya stay so still in that current? In my aluminum boat I would have been floated halfway down the river before I got a cast half way back to the boat. feels likes I'm always fighting current and wind with my trolling motor.. tried an anchor also... it's just a constant battle that wears me out
I face the current with my trolling motor. I have 5 speeds on that tilt tiller minkoda, I adjust the speed to 1 or 2 and it holds me in the same spot. Thank you for watching theldun1!
Gene I always love your videos because you always seem to explain what you are doing & why.Keep em coming Capt.I think I know who is Elmer but Who is Elmo?
Richard, what am i doing wrong when all i am catching are bluegills, I had no success so far catching bass or crappies. for beginner fisherman, what size hook should i use and what bait should i use to catch bass? i enjoy watching your funny and educational videos.
So... i used to fish with my dad and caught a few but that was almost a decade ago. Its like im learning all over again by myself this time. I have a quick question.... live bait or lures for Tennessee rivers? Ive seen mostly lures so i think im gonna go with that. Lastly, what kinds would y’all recommend for where im fishing?

You can catch fish every time you go.... amazing the way you set the hook, very timing...
Excellent catches.... those spots are for sure fighters & all river feesh seem to have more fight than lake feesh.... great vid....
Great video, enjoyed watching you "have fun". When people ask me: "what are you fishing for?" Just like your video showed: "I'm fishing for anything that will bite." Thanks for the excitement.
Another classic mean Gene. I'd like to see you put the grub on the jighead with that screw lock on the shank in one of your upcoming videos.

Richard, what am i doing wrong when all i am catching are bluegills, I had no success so far catching bass or crappies. for beginner fisherman, what size hook should i use and what bait should i use to catch bass? i enjoy watching your funny and educational videos.
thanks!
Enjoying your videos
Those were spotted bass by the bridge piling ? Yes ?
So... i used to fish with my dad and caught a few but that was almost a decade ago. Its like im learning all over again by myself this time. I have a quick question.... live bait or lures for Tennessee rivers? Ive seen mostly lures so i think im gonna go with that. Lastly, what kinds would y’all recommend for where im fishing?
Hey Richard Gene do you ever fish with Roostertails? what is the best way to fish them? Love your videos.
Is this near Scottsboro or Watts bar? I live up in Jasper/Nickajack Lake and I thought this place looked familiar
