I have learned so much from your channel. I am 70+ years old but one of my strengths is keeping and open mind and always willing to learn from others. Thank you for your teaching and great video's. I'm catching MORE fish!!!
I use to catch coolers full of white bass on Lake Erie with my grandpa, using Shysters, Mepps and Roostertails. They seemed to run in schools and as fast as you could catch one and get your line back in the water, you would have another. Great action until the school moved out of the area. It didn’t take long to catch enough for a family fish fry. Now, I’m the grandpa, teaching my grandson and still learning from your tutorials. Thank you for your videos Richard. I have recently acquired some blade baits and Kastmaster spoons and will give them a try.

Just fished an underspin for the first time today after watching your videos. The water here has been muddy and cold. Was throwing every lure in my box and just couldn’t get bit. Tied on the underspin today and landed a good 3lb largemouth off the bank within the first few minutes. Now I’m going to try the spoons I have sitting in my tackle box! You are the man Richard! Thank you for the endless information!! God bless!
Ok, Richard really is an absolute machine! Laughing out loud when he sees "The Birds"! and he's gotta get that adrilogen out. A blessing from the Lord, you are!
That was fun, love the fishing conditions. Another lesson learned today. Using bottom baits you need frog hooks to keep them from getting nagged on the bottom. Thanks Richard, 👍
Wow Richard you no doubt are the best fisherman ever! I have been watching and sharing your channel for over 2 years! I have learned so much from your channel, at 74 years you would think I knew all this great info you are sharing! You are a super great teacher and you know how to explain everything! Thank You Brother,God's blessings always!!! 😇
Nothing beats going down a rabbit hole, and watching your video's on a cold rainy Saturday.. Watch, Laugh, and LEARN.. with Richard Gene, the fishing foo.... MACHINE, i meant machine.. lol.
Big White Bass cast after cast? Been there done that and felt the same way you did brother. God bless everyone on the other side of this screen. Whooo.
Thank you Gene for another great video. The children love when you explain your fishing gear and fishing techniques. i've seen them play your vid again and again so they learn your techniques. whoo your keeping the kids out of the street.
I got back into fishing the previous summer. My dad used to take me fishing often when I was little. The first fish my daughter caught by herself was on a Kastmaster. My dad saw the photos and sent me a whole set of Kastmasters. They're my favorite because you can catch anything with them.
love the show richard and white bass are one of my favorite to catch cause they fight well. God bless you on your journey and thanks for all your sharing of knowledge. tight lines.....
those kastmaster spoons with the bucktail tear up the fish in the surf around Destin ... bluefish, ladyfish and even spanish mackerel eat 'em up ... fish 'em fast off the second bar and hang on !
Love this video. Not crazy about winter fishing. In Texas we get strong north wind with front, then usually next two days stronger south winds. As I've gotten older, I can still handle the cold, not the wind. Richard, really appreciate all that 👏 you do, all the knowledge you share with us. God bless y'all and stay safe out there on the water.
just saw this - thanks for giving the white bass some attention - great gamefish and good to eat - now I know how to use my blade baits :) thanks again ! p.s. pls show your depthfinder screen more often so we can see what you're seeing?
Dang!! I've seen hooks like that but never realized how much you could avoid snags with them. Always wondered why the heck anyone would want two hooks over a treble hook. One of my favorite fishing holes I lose a lot of blade baits and keep getting more and more hesitant to throw them in that spot but there's so many fish that bite there (still trying to drag in a Walleye in that spot). I'm gonna get me some of those frog hooks!! 😁 (already have like 50 blade baits lolol) I recently fell in love with throwing blade bait this fall and have been at it even all through the Winter as we had a really mild one for the most part here in Michigan. Thanks a bunch!!! 🤩
I look forward to every video. My fishing season is starting in Indiana, and I just wanted to let you know. I've done fairly well the past few years with some nice Bass and numerous Crappies (I still use the Eagle Claw Rods that I bought after watching your earlier videos). I have eight of those, all in the ultra-light series, and then ya get rich and buy those custom jobs (I want one and will try and get one this year. You rascally rabbit, your videos will put this retiree further into the poor house. I have here a jig there a jig cause ole Richard catches fish with them. My favorite spinning reel is the Shimano Spirex. I have two of all three sizes. My favorite bait casters are the Abu Garcias of all sizes, even with some collector items. Oh well, I've been stuck in the house with sickness, and this old tired 72-year-old fart ain't gots nuttin' else to do...but I'll quit. Thanks again for another "adrilligin" inspired video. Oh yeah, and may the good LORD take a likin' to ya.
You are fortunate to. E able to fish such a fine fishery. Not everyone in the country has this advantage within a reasonable driving distance. You are one hell if an angler but you are fishing a giant honey hole every time you put a line in.
Richard, I fish for these all through the summertime on Weiss but a different tactic that believe it or not but using the blade runner with my method will guarantee you a bite or a white bass, hybrid stripe almost every cast. If you ever want to go you are always welcome to meet me at the boat ramp, it would be an honor sir!
Hey love the white bass how too with blade baits and using the frog hooks ! Hope you do a few more like this .I use a lot of crawfish about 1.5 to to 2.5 inch live ones to catch white bass at Calhoun down below Rumsy here in ky you will catch every thing on them from spots ,hybrids, catfish,drum,and striper ! I Carolina rig them with a a two ft leader and a 1 or 2 ot eagle claw gold hook fish them on the river ledge or sandy flats .
I love jigging with a swim jig or flipping jig. The way theyre designed especially a flipping jig the soft plastic will present its self in an upright position for a bass to see as well as smell with good attractant. Like procure i know richard wouldnt be a fan of procure because they use live minnows, shad or creyfish and nightcrawlers to create there attractant. I love it i tell you what fish will bite because its the real deal on your soft plastics 😊❤
I appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge with us! One question what is the name and brand of the Blade Bait you are using. Thank you Sir!
Will you share the blade bait used for this video and where you bought it at. I don’t think I have seen a blade bait with frog hooks. Maybe I live under a rock. As always Great video.
Love your videos they are very informative, would these ways of fishing work I northern florida in river and lakes? I'm originally from west virginia and I'm not sure what works best here like I would up there
Richard, I need help!! I'm using 8 lb braid and I want to connect 4 lb fluorocarbon leader. The braid keeps cutting into the leader and breaking it. What knot do you use? I'm not even getting half the strength of the fluorocarbon before it snaps.
Still love ALL the videos. Please please don't forget us a catfish video!! I love eater sized catfish because they are the only fish I like to eat besides tuna. I don't know why but I just don't like the crappie and bluegill like most people but i LOVE catfish fillets.
I’ve got 2 blade baits on my tackle box I’m scared to jimmity to throw cause I’ll for sure get hung up in the best spot 🤣 but I may just have to give it a shot
GREAT! I have a few blade baits I have never used...use em like a spoon(?). ok... Better watch out for sucha visual on your location! It is good to understand your use of structure but locals will know where you and fish the spot OUT!
Beside removing the dark streak on white bass filets, is there anything else you can do to get rid of the strong fishy taste. I’ve removed the streak, but they are still too fishy for me.
After filleting, rinse the fillets well and soak them in saltwater in the fridge overnight. The next day, rinse them well with fresh water before cooking or freezing them. This actually improves any white-fleshed fish - and even small game like squirrel or rabbit. It also helps to either keep the fish alive until you clean them, or keep them on ice. Letting them die and leaving them soak in warm water is the worst way to store your catch for meat quality.
I have learned so much from your channel. I am 70+ years old but one of my strengths is keeping and open mind and always willing to learn from others. Thank you for your teaching and great video's. I'm catching MORE fish!!!
Wise me learn till their last day. Great wise me learn and pass it foward to others.
@@chuckspires-hl8md Well said!
Same brother I went simple and use moderate to slow retrieve and catch a ton more fish. 😊❤
@@chuckspires-hl8mdI do the same.
Same here, Iam 74 years old and I too have learned so much from Richard!!! He is the best ever!!!

Richard, you are throwing back my favorite fish to eat. Take all the red streaks off the fillet and you can’t beat the taste of white bass.
Hey Richard, how do you know which hole to tie to on those baits with multiple line tie holes?

Best white bass fishing I ever seen was on the Detroit river during the spawn every cast with a small sinking rapala
I’m not bragging but, I’m over 70 and as you always modifying a lot of my tackle.WOOOO, you the MAN !!!
All I can always say when I watch is “WOO”! Love ya my guy, God bless & thanks… WOO
I wish you were trout fishing so I could get some pointers on that. You share so much information. I love your attitude and your Christian spirit.

Those White Bass are awesome looking Richard!!! I am hoping the Yellow Bass start running up our local creeks here in Nashville area soon!!
Thank you for the tips, I'm going to get back into fishing this spring

I use and blade baits drift jigging for Crappie and perch they work fantastic

He is a double uni knot man
Hey love the white bass how too with blade baits and using the frog hooks ! Hope you do a few more like this .I use a lot of crawfish about 1.5 to to 2.5 inch live ones to catch white bass at Calhoun down below Rumsy here in ky you will catch every thing on them from spots ,hybrids, catfish,drum,and striper !

Need to break out my kastmasters. Very versatile to be sure
Richard you can certainly catch fish!
Love it!!!
Nuther great video! and by the way, you have a lovely singing voice.
Another excellent video! Thanks Richard!
Richard Gene are you going to be at the catfish and crappie show? It’s being held at the Kentucky expo center in Louisville Feb 23&24
will the fish survive coming up from those depths?
I would love to see Richard fish up north with spoons for Pike and Muskie...WWHHHOOOOO!
I appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge with us! One question what is the name and brand of the Blade Bait you are using. Thank you Sir!
I think richard should apply to get into bassmaster classic. He probably wont but he could and he would do exceptionally well if not win for sure 😊😊❤❤
Will you share the blade bait used for this video and where you bought it at. I don’t think I have seen a blade bait with frog hooks. Maybe I live under a rock. As always Great video.
Gotta Love those Hoot owl sunglasses,
Love your back drop mr Gene !
I cannot find a blade bait with frog hooks . did you change them out yourself or did they come with frog hooks. if so, what manufacturer is it? Thanks
Another great video. Thank you!
I'm loving the videos man keep it up.
Love your videos they are very informative, would these ways of fishing work I northern florida in river and lakes? I'm originally from west virginia and I'm not sure what works best here like I would up there
What size kastmaster is that? And where you buy those hooks?
i notice what kind of model your blue rod ?
Hey Richard where can i purchase those weedless blade baits. Thank you as always for your knowledge and videos.
Will these bates work on small lakes? Love your videoies.
You the MAN ! Love your videos on UA-cam! What was the name of the blade bait you are using? Thanks so much
What’s the name of that blade bait?
Found it. Keeburn is the brand.
Thank you
This was a great video. Just what I needed.
Thank you for the blessing.
I use the same blade baits for skipjack, if you flip the hooks over you keep more hookups. Just my experience
Richard, I need help!! I'm using 8 lb braid and I want to connect 4 lb fluorocarbon leader. The braid keeps cutting into the leader and breaking it. What knot do you use? I'm not even getting half the strength of the fluorocarbon before it snaps.
I gotta try it. I like a lipless too
Be glad then it warms up here in Ohio. Nice to see these videos ty
I'm in Northeast Ohio, cold & snowing .
Holmes County here
Thanks Richard!
Great as always!!
Thank you Very Much! Fantastic Video! WOOOOOO
Great stuff,Thank you,MAY GOD KEEP BLESSING
Nothing more fun than white bass in early spring.
We should have a video of Elmo fishing 😂
God bless you Richard
Seems like with a single treble, tend to miss a lot of fish. Those type baits can cast a long way and good for fishing the jumps.
I'm going fishing with Richard Gene today.
im curious if anyone out there ever uses big baits like 3/4oz. crank baits in deeper water for panfish like crappie or white bass?
Still love ALL the videos. Please please don't forget us a catfish video!! I love eater sized catfish because they are the only fish I like to eat besides tuna. I don't know why but I just don't like the crappie and bluegill like most people but i LOVE catfish fillets.
I think white bass is one of the best eating fish there is. I especially like the smaller ones because there is less red meat to clean off
I’ve got 2 blade baits on my tackle box I’m scared to jimmity to throw cause I’ll for sure get hung up in the best spot 🤣 but I may just have to give it a shot
GREAT! I have a few blade baits I have never used...use em like a spoon(?). ok...
Better watch out for sucha visual on your location! It is good to understand your use of structure but locals will know where you and
fish the spot OUT!
I hope my new channel is half as successful as yours richard. Your the man!!! I hope to fish with u one day
Nice bass bless you as well
