Who loves this man! There is no better teacher than Richard Gene The Fishing Machine!! I have learned more from Richard than I ever did in school.

[@danajones760]

The best there is! ✌️🎣🔥

[@zakplays703]

Second to none!

[@floyd6545]

No need for me to comment. It's already been said.

[@keatonnelson2602]

I would love to see a book written by Richard about how he fishes, his fishing opinions, and fishing secrets.

[@Pays2Win]

I’d buy it.

[@primaryoneabc2721]

I'd buy it too!

[@gordoncampbell1563]

I'd buy 2

[@GregCollard-cq5yg]

I love how you gently put the fish back, instead of throwing it like most. I would so love to fish with you.

[@snuggalufagusjambuddy7303]

Thanks for the latest tips and tricks on micro jigs! Vote for R.G.T.F.M 2024 😂👍🇺🇸

[@josephberreth5705]

I have committed to lighter equipment to catch Crappy and Brem after watching your videos. Keep passing your experience and knowledge onto your viewers, we love it. What brand of strike indicator did you use for this video?

[@Steve-ev6vx]

I'm gonna have to start order some of these jigs online. I have about depleted most of my micro jig supply and can't find any at tackle stores in town. Hopefully they will have some over at Bass Pro, need to make the trip soon.

[@brianlykins6663]

Thanks, Richard. This one knocked some dust off old memories. The last time I used micro jigs like these was many years ago, didn't have the luck you had. In my defense, I was using a stiffer rod and probably 6 - 8 lbs line. Now I know better and after seeing you do it today, I'll have to go back and try it again with proper equipment. I hope you know how much your tips and sharing knowledge is appreciated. God bless ya'll and stay safe out on your travels.

[@itllkeal]

I have 2lb rigs myself now and landed the 1st bass of the year on 1 of the 2 poles

[@nnamrehck]

Jesus - Thank you for Richaard Gene!

[@dougmay8924]

You ARE the book for FISHERMAN Teach anyone to Fish 🐟 & they will never go HUNGRY! Love ALL you do for us ❤Please don't 🙏 ❤️ EVER STOP! THANK YOU 😊 🙏 ❤️

[@MrLibro67]

Why does Gene make fishing look like he's picking berries in a field ?? True artist!

[@texasw1]

I can’t stop vibing with gene, like the bob Ross of fishing 😂

[@tieoneon1614]

Up Nort those are our ice fishing jigs. Been using them year round. I open the hook up a little more so it hooks in deeper on the fish.

[@claudesylvanshine6551]

They work great under slip bobbers now up here (Nort) too and through the spawn. That, and an underspin with a tiny B-Vibe swimbait is my 1-2 punch.

[@luigidaniels6570]

Been using this style in CA for years ...just don't tell anyone folks out here for panfish have little ethics. 😮

[@fgcoutdoors8087]

Hope your doing ok Richard, I was praying for you all during your bad weather the other day. Your awesome man and we all appreciate you!

[@lonniewilkes7118]

If you want more limber rod try the eagle claw microlite glass from Bass pro

[@scfisherman5471]

Richard, great video as always. Thanks for taking your time and showing all viewers the tricks to catching more fish. God Bless!

[@justinmartinez680]

[@mikelane1065]

I too use small jigs, my g-son brought me some #4 ice jigs and small fry baits to put on them and they r crappie getters!

[@markblix6880]

When i move to Guntersville, i can use my ice fishin' jigs for crappie and musky rods for big cats.

[@fishintechnician6349]

I’m in Huntsville on business and planned to fish while in Alabama for my first time. It hasn’t stopped raining since I got here. 😂

[@brandonpruitt6417]

My favorite place to fish here in north alabama is duck river reservoir. Really need a kayak/small boat tho.

[@keithwoods3090]

A true inspiration to the fishing world, thank you for sharing your experience with us, God bless you and your family Mr Gene 🙏

[@mikerhea1361]

Thanks for another very informative video I always bend my hooks then I bend my rod 👍🏼

[@imsowright90]

You have a lot of knowledge.

[@joshgrimes9554]

Awesome!

[@edgarbonilla2032]

😂😂 I had to subscribe after that Wildwood Flower 😂

[@jerryallen862]

Hey Richard gene love your videos it’s educational plus a lot of fun entertainment I got a little float tip I thought of . I noticed you sometimes use a little small float . I have some foam ear plugs that you roll up and place in your ear and they swell back up. So I take a size 6 hook tied to my line and compress the plug top to bottom flat while it’s flat run hook through it then take the aversive hook off and to jig to it now it takes I little while for the ear to expand back up but it works good and seem to hold the depth without slipping you may want to try. God bless

[@orlandohopkins1466]

I just cut one or two slots off of the trout magnet and put it on a size 10 or 12 jig and it works as a smaller presentation

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

I caught some BIG crappie yesterday evening on live red worms fished weightless Richard!!! I couldn't believe they hit live worms!! Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee

[@timthompson3958]

I dearly love your videos. You said you are looking for a more limber ultralight rod. You'll have to look for it but the Berkley TRS220 is the most limber rod I have ever seen. That sowbelly is only half as limber. I have seen them on ebay from time to time. Its the best finesse rig I've ever owned Thank you again Capt Tim

[@MrRourk]

Works well for trout as well These work well as the bottom fly on a Hopper Dropper Rig.

[@keithr-xj7zx]

Hey Mr Gene! For people like me who are new to the area, I really love all the information in your videos, there is one thing missing and that is where you are fishing from the bank. Due to health issues, I can't fish from a boat anymore. My balance won't allow it. Anyway, love your videos and God speed to you and yours. 😊

[@garykukla4447]

Whoo!

[@possumoutdoors]

Golly wippin

[@virgilsmith6914]

I really like the Kentucky blue hope you don’t get in trouble with the Alabama fans

[@zakplays703]

Thank you for all the lessons you give us Mr. Richard!

[@UnlimitedFishing-ft6yc]

How does he not have his own show on a sportsman channel yet?

[@briargoatkilla]

My kinda fishin' right there.

[@Bluegill2Bluefin]

Big 1:20 Cali gills and slabs lovem’ I whack gills suspended 30-60’ in 80’+ water with a small split shot when the biting gets tough!!

[@joshroach2978]

Facts

[@romanmoroni2785]

You’re the best

[@CraigRose-qb5sc]

Hey Richard, you could throw that microscopic jig with your fly rod for spawning crappies. Dare to be different

[@803bowfishin]

The Walmart Shakespeare micro 7 ft pole is an awesome pole I pair it with a Shakespeare micro reel and 2lb or 4lb test and its one of my favorite poles to crappie fish with

[@wayne-oo]

Have you tried the Bobby Garland Mayfly bait ?

[@hgradyspruce1975]

I have used a wet fly to catch crappie from the bank during the spawn. Micro baits are great for crappie

[@Sydney112498]

Where can we purchase the Sowbelly rods? Tend have a hard time finding 2lb line at BPS..

[@Deven210]

Try out ACC crappie sticks Richard. They have some super limber rods!

[@jimmywilson1388]

Everything is again me… Nothing is fer me…😂😭 I was hollering on that one Elmer…🤣

[@dirtybuzzard5977]

Woo WOOO Awesome video Sir . That is a small jig . Have you ever used flies or fly fish for Crappie. Stay safe and Keep’em coming 👍👍👍👍👍

[@onebackzach]

A lot of the time I'll tie on a mini trout magnet about 8" below my main jig, and I find a lot of the time they'll hit the mini magnet instead of whatever other jig I use

[@rickyrodriguez9831]

I use the BPS Micro Series Elite. 6’6 Light Moderate and it’s real limber as well. I can sling a 1/48 no problem but idk about a 1/200th lol

[@uncledaddy7972]

Guntersville tackle and outdoor has the 1lb line. And also the bas pro shop has some very limber rods particularly the yellow bass pro shop brand is limber as a cooked noodle. Well their is my 2 cents thank you Richard God bless you

[@Mint318]

Gene chapter 1: The Book of Crappie

[@user-xm9ju4qx2y]

Would love to catch up with you one day to catch a boat load of fish.i watch every show you make,God bless you and your family and,go fishing when you can because it's good for you ole boy.

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

The 1/200 heads are great and when I run out of plastics for them, I just trim off prices for them from old damaged bass lures.

[@OhioRiverFisherman]

I took off work this week to fish all week and its been the wettest April that i can remember. I got to fish Tuesday, Wednesday, and 3 hours this morning. Caught the fire outta the smallmouth bass here in the Licking River. My plans were to fish the Ohio River to get on the skipjacks, catfish, white bass, and hybrids, but that was not to be. Ohio River is blowed out to the max. My bank spot is under water by 25 feet!!! And it looks like chocolate milk. Kinda disappointed

[@Steve-ev6vx]

Yeah, I am in the same boat in the Florida panhandle. We had tornadoes and a bunch of rain yesterday and the wind howled today. Our rivers are gonna be way to high. I'm probably going to drive over to the East river on Eglin AFB. Its the smallest river in the area, so it shouldnt be to bad. Maybe hit one of the creeks in north end of the county for choctaw bass.

[@AltonBabin]

But when we are at work the weather is beautiful! Gotta love how that goes

[@rl2109]

Nice little video, Richard! (emphasis on LITTLE...) God bless ALL of us! WWG1WGA

[@Sopranoman1986]

Is the lighter tackle important for crappie fishing? I’ve always used 6 and 8 pound test line. 1/64 and 1/32 jig heads. Medium light action rods. Just afraid of them breaking off.

[@4reelfishing635]

It's funny this popped up and my daughter just caught a monster crappie on a panfish magnet tied to a tiny bobber pretty close to what you had and I was like, I need to downsize baits. I had only tied it on because the worms she was using wasn't working.

[@Thatdamfishingguy]

I use the orange and chartreuse ones in dingy water and whoop them

[@romanmoroni2785]

Nikko has .75” Caddisflies that work well like this too. And tough like all of their other stuff

[@robertmantell1700]

Does a 5ft ultralight work for being limber like you were talking about, or is that too light? I have two that are set up with 4lb and 6lb.

[@Hortuna35]

Take a look at Daiwa Spinmatic rods. They make them up to 8’ I think
