Who are they?
No other youtuber out there that puts a smile on my face like LFG. You’re the man Justin.
I still havent picked up any lake fork tackle, been meaning to. The jerkbaits look narsty
Gooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great day!
Thanks. You too. I'm going fishing so it will be a good day !
Central Florida has some killer fishing. Idk if it's considered central but I stayed in Lake Placid FL for a bit and caught a handful of huge Bass. The biggest Bass of my life. If you live close to Lake Istapoga I highly recommend you fish it. If you have fished it then you probably know it holds bigs. 🎣🇺🇸🎣
I would love to see LFG get a ranch with a lake as well one day
Jimmies place looks so cool, he's been awesome to watch over the years! Looks like a great day of fish'n right there!
Going out for Crappie tomorrow after a short day of work. Perfect time for crappie video!
My daughter was just born(like literallyright now)! Third kid and I should be getting my first boat this week. I can't wait to get them in the water.
Congrats man!
Congrats
Congratulations man!
Congrats. Good luck with the fishing. The tug is the drug
LLF comments are shut off again? SOOOOOO happy to hear the news officially. Wasn't happy that Jimmy scooped you, but giving what he's going through currently, no worries. Wish you and OSG the best, and Jimmy Houston as well.
LFG is the most humble fishermen out therr I love you and the work you put in
Dude reminds me so much of my dad (rip) just his demeanor and everything, along with the doofy jokes😂
LFG love the videos sir and all the info you share with us all! Thank you!!!
Hey man just watched the lake life video and just wanted to say your family makes me smile. Been watching you for a long time and it's been cool to see it all. Congrats man. You are truly blessed.
NIceeeee!!! Black crappie game soooo strongggg ! ! ! ! !
LFG always staying consistent with the fishing uploads, I aspire to get my channel to this point some day
Was at a local dam the last 3 days and caught over 300 crappie took 10 big slabs home and made them nice and crispy.
Damn! I wish we had good crappie like that here in CO.
What state are you from?
@@comiketiger, Oklahoma
Next visit, you need to bring OSG and little Emery. I bet they'd love to meet Lucy.
I’ve never seen someone freak out so calmly 😂😂😂 love these vids
LFG the crappie king 👑🎣‼️
Lfg is a hammer but Richard gene the fishing machine though
@@Catchwhatbites I'm talkin' bout wooooooooooooooo
I ain't ever seen richard throw a jerk bait for a crappie and there's a reason
Get LFG to a million! Best fisherman in the Googan squad he deserves to be there. Really he deserves many many more!
Congratulations brother.!!! So happy for you. Love from Australia.. One lucky boy being born into your house of love.
It is a dream of mine to go crappie fishing with LFG. I love bass fishing, all fishing really, but crappie fishing is my all time favorite fishing. Keep doing what you do sir you are an absolute legend.
You know I really want to learn how to fish for crappie better and who better to ask then LFG could u do a video on how to fish for crappie
The crappie clinic !
Mean Gene
@Monkeyman Gaming
Look threw his videos he has posted several over the years
They are a fish of a thousand casts or a fish every cast to a thousand
Best channel to learn crappie fishing is Richard Gene the Fishing Machine
Getting so close to that 1Mil mark Sir! Let's Go!!
LFG the crappie MASTER
Getting closer and closer to 1 million! LETS GO LFG. You are the man!
So close to a million LFG!! Come on people help LFG get to a million. He is always throwing out sick videos
I love when crappie are all tuxedoed out!
13:44 LFG finally catches a crappie
So lucky man. That man is a legend in the bass fishing world!
Gosh watching these videos, living in Michigan, teases me a little bit cuz I'm waiting for the water temperatures to rise a little bit more. are bass are not quite biting great. YET! Lfg you're the best angular 2 watch in my opinion oh, because you go out there you show us the process of figuring out a lake and then you hammer down baby let's go!!! you're about to hit your 1 million Mark soon. hoping you have something big planned for that.
9k away from 1 million!!
He’s so close
I’m so excited to see him hit a million subs he really deserves it!!!
That was going to be my comment lol
@@samuelskelton9603 some of the highest quality content on youtube IMO
@@michaellindsey13 Couldn’t agree more!!!
Love the song at 14.26. It's like you're inside my head.
LFG your videos feel like the O,G Saturday morning fishing shows . All you need is a camera man on the boat and a catchy name like " Fishing greatness with LFG "
You’re the man LFG! Man I love these crappie videos
I’ve caught my only crappie so far on a full sized scout, and he was a mondo! (15” 1.65 lbs) Sure enough I put him in the grease and I’m “hooked” . Keep up the awesome vids man
Awesome video
Nice love your vids
Dude so happy for you and Stef. Congrats buddy!
For anyone who knows Mr Jimmy Houston please pray for his family. LFG keep up the good work
Great video. Very entertaining.
You are an excellent fisherman, catch a lot of big fish, congratulations, this place is incredible, it has many beautiful fish.👍🎣🐟😊
Living in AZ, I really miss N. Tx Crappie fishing. Thanks.
LFG is the best!
Great video love Crappie fishing
My goodness those are some gorgeous fish!
I love a good crappie dangle. Nice vid
LFG needs to put out an album with all of his little fishing jingles!
Black Crappie are probably one of my the prettiest freshwater fish, I am a sucker for the brown/rainbows too though
Nice day on the lake good bag of fish
Crappie have to be the best fish to catch!
"I'll fish this mornin on Jimmy Houston's lake its a good tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime." LOL
A better series is hard to remember, thanks so much! Long time sub. Maybe lake Michigan... I'm a lake Huron guy.
Love all of your fishing vids but NOTHING tops your crappie catch/cook vids
Ur videos are like a breath
of fresh air
Interesting fishing ! Thank you from Russia !
17:27 nooo
Crappies + swim baits = deadlyyyyy
Love this channel! When I subscribed you had a little over one hundred thousand subscribers. This channel has really grown, and rightfully so!!!!
I like to fish barbless. Less damage to the fish and more sporting. But if I was hunting for a three pound Crappie I would want a barb and if I'm fishing for food I may use a barb.
Great vid LFG.
I ended up catching a 8.4 pound bass this past Saturday. 3/16 white rooster tail. My personal best now. Love your videos
I love bass fishing but my second favorite is crappy it always will be man great to see some begins on the boat
I like how you genuinely enjoy and show catching fish other than largemouths... to many utubers always/ only target bass
As usual, I look for my daily dosage of LFG. Beautiful black crappies in JH's lake. Missing were the deep-fried crispies.
Awesome vid as always ! The males are what your catching off the trees mostly black with there spawning colors, the larger females like the ones you found off that point are roaming in schools waiting to move into the beds that the males are making, they act a lot like bass
Great video Lfg as always
Heck yeah! I was out getting some golden crispies this morning! Ice is FINALLY gone here in the north! Great video as always!
Great video. I remember catching a big 3 pound crappie on a rattletrap in a farm pond years ago. I was out on a float tube fishing for bass and tossed the rattletrap just passed a single stump and BOOM!
Cant fight them crappie like you do a bass. Got to be easy with them. They won’t throw your hook like a bass does. They just float up and ski to the boat. 😂 great video
I love how disappointed you sounded every bass lol
Great video, Justin! Gig'em
I learned from the best, Jimmy Houston, Hank Parker, Bill Dance and Roland Martin. You were in the company of giants. Consider yourself lucky.
Man I love some juicy slabs.
need to come to MS one day and get after them.. 3 amazing big lakes here with some solid smaller ones as well.
I was fishing a reservoir in Virginia years ago. Going for stripers. Throwing a 6 inch swimbait. First bite was an 18 inch crappie . 4 lbs 2oz. Next cast 19 inch 4 lb.5 oz. Crappie. Then it was over. I kept trolling around that spot throwing my swimbait for another hour . Nothing more. Those 2 made an awesome mount on some driftwood. It was pure luck. I'm sure I'll never get a bigger one.
Damn.. prayers to the Houston family
Fire vid.
Awesome video I love watching
Great video man. Love watching you and seeing how god healed you. I pray he can do the same for mr. Jimmy’s wife Chris.
Great vid lfg. Just some friendly info. Male crappie both in black and white are the ones that get really dark during the spawn. It's called getting there tuxedo on. The females stay lighter in color. keeping there normal colors basically.
I feel your pain. Last year I lost my PB, prob. 2.25-2.5# had a mouth like a 32oz beer can. It was on the bed and just swam my lure out. It haunts me daily. Keep up the great Vids
When you getting your own ranch with a private lake or pond like some of the other Googans. I could definitely see you managing a property to it's fullest potential. It would be awesome to raise a child it that environment
My heart just broke when you dropped that big one
Get this man to 1mil now
Great video friend.
God bless all here.
Great video
Let’s make it to that 1mil!
Wow to be fishing where big bass are a nuisance! 😜😛😜🤓
If you want PB crappie, Navarro Mills Lake..... look it up
That ain’t no lie, ain’t nothing but a hop an a skip away from where he is at, Corisicana right?
You the man
Love the content brother keep’em coming glad u got to fish at Jimmy’s bro to bad u couldn’t fry up some of them golden crispys though net video lol
When you were tying on the crappie jig at the beginning, what knot was that you tied?
3/8oz swimjig with a 3.8” keitech has put my 3 largest crappies in my boat. Around 15” range.
awesome job man. keep it up
1 million subs coming soon wow
So close to 1mil. I hope you hit it soon.
Lol gotta try the bobber method put it right next to the grass and pop it a few times they will come out that grass an smoke it just like swiming it by them but your in the strike zone wayy longer u can entice those other ones that a finicky
Love the content man.. 🤙🏾
Still no crappie here around KCMO, think we caught them all last year...caught an 8lb walleye, a 12lb channel cat, and a 4lb large so far though! Haven't seen anyone else catch a fish if that says anything lol. Surface temp is still 56F here in Blue Springs, MO.
I love fishing crappie
Gahhh I love the crappie videos 🙌🏻
I’ve got to catch some crappie soon! Canyon lake up river
