    RICHARD,
    YOU SIR HAVE UNDOUBTEDLY THE NUMBER ONE FISHING CHANNEL ON UA-cam!
    YES YOU GET YOUR "ADRILIGEN" TORED UP WHEN YOU DO GET A GOOD EN ON,THAT SAID,THERE ARE SO SO MANY OTHER CHANNELS THAT SEEM TO BE "P.B." AND "TROPHY" CHASERS.
    I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY THAT CAN CONSISTENTLY TELL THE PEOPLE EXACTLY WHAT IS ON THAT HOOK BEFORE EVER LAYING EYES ON THE FISH. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY A PERSON CAN DO THAT SO EASILY. EXPERIENCE!
    YEARS AND YEARS OF EXPERIENCE!!
    IVE KNOWN PEOPLE THAT WERE "FISHIN FOOLS", BUT NEVER HAVE I KNOWN ANYBODY THAT KNOWS NEARLY HALF OF WHAT YOU KNOW AND FREELY SHARE ON THIS CHANNEL! I KNOW THAT YOU FINALLY GOT TO RETIRE AND CAN NOW LIFE TO FISH & FISH TO LIVE!! THAT IS INCREDIBLY AWESOME, I ONLY WISH MORE PEOPLE COULD BE AS HAPPY AS I THINK YOU ARE,AND WHY?
    BECAUSE FISHING IS A SPORT SECOND TO NONE!!
    THANKS FOR SHARING THESE VIDEOS AND TAKING US ALONG!!

    I like the way you don’t get in a hurry horsing a fish in, so many video’s out there with folks acting like they have a 30 pound cobia on their hook , much healthier for the fish to bring them up nice and easy, kudos from Chattanooga

    Keep doing your thing RGFM! Love your videos! I’m going to try targeting giant largemouth bass this weekend using live bluegill. I haven’t fished with live bait since I was a kid, but I’m dying to try it after watching your live bait videos. I’ve been fishing for over 40 years, but I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. I’m going to offset my circle hooks after watching this video. You are a true inspiration, and I appreciate you very much. God bless!

    Hey I live in Priceville, Al... So I fish At Decatur a lot. I was using shrimp Monday of this week. Kind of fishing open water 27 feet of water, bottom fishing, the surface water temp was around 81 degrees. The catfish seemed to be biting slow, almost like nipping at the bait. Times I wasn’t sure to pick the rod up or not. But I landed four or five of them, biggest probably weighed 4 pounds. Man it was fun though. I caught a blue, flathead, and channels. They where slow biting for sure.

Too cold anyway right now the lake is freezing over and Mama don't want me on the Ice!

    When you're pretty much directly above them the hook will get them in the upper jaw most of the time,that's the reason it was hooked the way he was.When you cast out that's when they'll almost always get hooked in the corner.
