I love how Richard captures the essence of traditional fishing; not forgetting God's beauty around him. It doesn't have to be complicated with $100,000 worth of gear. It's the same sport we enjoyed as kids.

[@Petrolhead99999]

Ran into Elmo the other day, I told him I saw ya down in the slew fishin around for somethin or other. He runned off, said somethin about the sale barn. I had a blessed 2-hour morning of bank fishing for bass here in northern Kansas. Caught 4 all on a weightless senko. None bigger than 2 lbs but Im just pleased to have a bite and be out enjoying God's creation. Water temp is still pretty cold, around 55-60 depending on the size of the water. They are getting in to a prespawn pattern but having a hard time making up their minds due to the fluctuating temps. Hunting and fishing are very similar. You wouldnt go fishing and only cast once, that's like sitting in a tree stand and not blowing your call. Same with fishing, you wouldnt go hunting without trying to figure out how your game is moving. Thanks for the video Mr Gene. Always glad to see ya.

[@JeremyCurle]

I appreciate your videos. Made me start panfish fishing in a whole different way. The world is a better place with Richard Gene the Fishing Machine in it 🎣🙂👍🏿

[@michaelferik8060]

This video is enough to get a man excited for some perch (bluegill) fishing!

[@thewesternway7797]

Bluegill We’re not perch you must be from Oklahoma everybody down there thanks. Bluegills are perch morons

[@timburton9514]

It’s always a good day when you post a video

[@gillgetter3004]

Here in southeast Michigan we have bluegill and red ear or shellcracker. The shellcracker were planted here in some lakes years ago to have larger panfish. Last ten to fifteen years their numbers are going up because of the invasive zebra mussels. For once the invasives have helped some fish👍

[@miyak6971]

What counties you fish in?

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Love those Shellcracker!!!! They fight like a freight train!!!

[@Handy86andy]

Ive always told my kids, if you hook into a bluegill half the size of a decent largemouth you’re in for the fight of your life!

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

@@Handy86andy agreed 👍 🙌 👏

[@jrjimi7216]

That's absolutely right Richard. I've been telling folks that fishin' is like huntin' deer for years. Doesn't matter what fish you're tracking for, big ol' bass or shellcracker or anything else 40 pound catfish or .... Great video!!!

[@RealMakoi]

It’s so very entertaining to watch you having fun and really enjoying the sport of fishing!🎣

[@charliekorabek3846]

Richard….you are the very best! These videos are priceless! ❤️

[@justinking9201]

I love you're videos. It's so refreshing to watch someone as passionate about fishing, who seems to take it seriously and not seriously at the same time.

[@toothman32]

Always quality videos and a quality human! Thank you sir! Excellent video.

[@fcosanchez-ti8oo]

Cómo siempre, ver a Richard pescar con ese entusiasmo y el don de la empatía, dando consejos de como lograr más capturas, es un honor para mí ver a ésta gran persona en estos vídeos, siempre motivado, y esa alegría que le caracteriza, saludos.

Great day, good weather, nice fishin, a true blessing from God. Thanks, Richard for taking us along on this trip. And thank you for always giving us the tips and knowledge. Looked like you got the blessing of mama Sue. Good day to you ma'am. God bless y'all and stay safe out there on the water.

[@martydunn298]

Some gooduns Richard! Glad to see momma Sue!! LIVE FOR THE THUMP MY FRIEND!!

[@kenelliott846]

Thank you Richard for another awesome video filled with lots of good info on how we can catch more fish! You my friend are the best on youtube no one even comes close! God's blessings always to You and Mommy Sue! 🙏

[@btdean02]

@richard, I really appreciate you taking the time to talk through bait, lure, line, rod, reel and even down to your technique of retrieval. Those little lessons are worth so much to me, because so many other fishing hosts don't bother to share that info! It helps us all tremendously!

[@jessebbaker3]

Richard have you done any cooking videos? I’d love to learn how to cook panfish well.

[@marionboyd23]

Hi Richard I'm from South Carolina a huge fan thanks for all the knowledge

[@dougmay8924]

Keep fishing and cooking! Keep Momma happy &YOU TOO .Thanks for Sharing again 🙏 ❤️

[@Mike_Richardson]

Richard you know I love Mama Sue and I’m thankful for her “Redeemed” t shirt. It reminded me to share a group of 2 sets of brothers out of Goshen Indiana called “Redeemed Quartet” one of the finest gospel quartets I’ve heard in my life. I think you all will enjoy them a lot.

[@nickfiore8545]

Enjoy all your videos. So refreshing not to hear swearing every other word. Love the good natured family oriented content. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to the next video. Nf

[@BrandonHiggins-u8q]

So much fun brother thank you for the great show god bless you and your family

[@rogerharvey3835]

It’s been a slow start here in Michigan. For a couple of weeks I’ve been catching pike, fishing streamers on an 8wt fly rod. No wall hangers, but a couple approached. 32”. But just three days ago I finally put together a bluegill dinner, and it’s all because your words, “this time of year, it’s all about water temperature.” Sunny days, shallow slow river slough, and an early season mayfly hatch, brought a dinner into three feet of water. Everything is later in the north, and I know it’s “going to be all about water temperature” for the next couple weeks. Thanks Richard. I’m gonna have to start looking for pre-spawn crappies soon, and we got some real “toilet seats”.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

My older brother used to catch Shellcrackers out of a farm pond he used to be able to fish, that big of shellcracker and bigger, I’m talking 2-3 lbs and on night crawlers too, fishing on bottom. That out in Winchester Ky, he never got the chance to take me down there, the lord took him away. But that’s alright, I got plenty of good memories with him. I had a Ol buddy that worked at this farm, down in Georgetown Ky and it had a farm pond on it that had huge bluegill in it, me and him both caught probably state record bluegills out of there, 2 & 3 lbs, heck he caught one that was a little over 4 lbs.

[@fishingwithmike6195]

I was thinking about you today when I was antique shopping. Found a old rod and reel. The rods name was worn off but had a cork handle that was worn but still in pretty good shape. The reel was called a quick fire 300 by Shimano and worked like I think it should. So I thought to my self what would Richard do? Well I got both for 10 bucks. Not to shabby if I do say so my self.

[@handcannon1388]

I used to buy those reels, I think it was in the early 1990's. They had a "trigger" (lever) that you pulled to open the bail. They worked pretty well and only cost a little over $20 if I remember correctly.

[@adamalbert7856]

WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Nice panfish!!

[@timothywalker8674]

You’re doing my kind of fishing. I love to drag a red worm on the bottom in about 7 feet of water this time of the year a long sandy flats. The shellcracker has gotten bigger in lake Eufaula that borders Georgia and Alabama. A lot of muscle beds in those flats

Yeah Richard I remember you saying that, and I agree I've caught many spellchecker here in Florida on Gass shrimp, many spellchecker over 2 pounds n is in the bypass canals in Tampa

[@timothyvalentines7489]

You’re so funny to watch, but you’re very knowledgeable I learned from you

[@ghetinknotabush8602]

I will try this. I usually find sunfish will peck a big worm to pieces. Red worms are more readily taken whole but are swallowed to deep before I realize I have a good bite. A lake near me is known for panfish staying deep & bottom feeding mostly.

[@stevenledwith]

So good. Thanks Richard Gene!

[@jamestboehm6450]

Crappie size gills, truly impressive again Richard. Yes they are very good eating.

Hi Richard, I'm from up in Canada. Pretty cold up here this morning. I've heard sayings that when the leaves on a Lilac bush are the size of elephants ears it's time to go for Crappy. I was observing the size of leaves just busting out in your video. Take note! besides water temps.

[@robertpoitevint2952]

Great fishing! Great video! We call those large bluegills “CAPS”.

Hi Richard, Those are some great looking sunfish & bluegill! When you find them in an area like that do you anchor or just use your trolling motor to stay in that spot? Thank you and have a great day!
