[@dannyc8338]

Richard your channel is growing, good job Richard, also i want to say that down here in Texas all my friends are talking about you"in a good way" in fact me a friend went crappie fishing yesterday and was talking about you using dental floss and super glue to kept jig from slipping, i watch only a few fishing shows one of them is Fox sports outdoors with Barry Stokes, i was fishing Eagle Mountain 25 years ago and i saw him there and talked to him for 30 mins, very nice person in fact they show one of my photo on episode #31 Keystone, the show was 2 week ago..you and Barry are my #1 shows.

Thank you Robert! Good luck my friend, hope you catch a bigun!

[@bobbyrayoutdoors5954]

Richard Gene The Fishing Machine unfortunately all were small here in Kansas at Hillsdale

[@jb-uw6cf]

Also I wanted to add I got my order of the 4x4 jigs today. They are really nice. I love the design. My favorite thing about them is that the eye is not painted. That’s a nice detail that is often overlooked in most others. I hate having to poke something through the eye every time I have to re rig. I look forward to trying them out soon!

[@michaelrogers8912]

Awesome video Richard 👍

[@shaneedmonds80]

You two are hilarious, thank you for sharing.

[@agnescurrie697]

Fishing machine i almost done watching your previous vid, i enjoy camping and fishing crappie during summer here in Idaho, we don't have much crappie though compared where you at. Your crappies are big too.

[@tnfisher235]

Nice job

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you TN Fisher!

[@billc.2248]

Hey RICHARD . Another number one fishing videos . I will definitely start practicing skipping I have been shooting docks and now I will start skipping . Love your ending . You are with out a doubt the best fisherman I have every had the pleasure of watching . Thanks for all you do . Life is good!!!!!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much Bill! that means a lot my brother!

[@jumpinggulley]

Another classic Gene! Man we fish a lot of the same places, I just got to trade in the pig n jig for a 4x4.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thanks so much Rip rap!

[@CamsHams]

Richard, as a pretty big fan of your channel I think I'm talking for me, and the rest of us. Elmo needs to make his own channel where he goes fishing, and maybe tries what the viewer gives him on video ideas.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Sounds like a good plan! I will talk to Elmo about it!

[@davidjones6911]

Dude, awesome again. Why don't our wife's like for us to fish instead of working so much,cause fishing gooooood fer us. Keep em coming

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you David! i know what you mean brother!

[@richardwarmack287]

Hey Richard, another great video. I wish you would in a future video show a closeup of your putting a Bobby Garland bait on the 1/16th ultimate jighead. I just cannot make mine look like yours.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Richard! And i will do in a future video!

[@albertmcfry6322]

Great tips, I was asking on a previous video about more details on skipping, and you delivered! Learning from the master!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much EatnLunch! Your comment on my last video is why i included it

[@EatnLunch]

Talk about service! I should have mentioned it before, (hope you don’t mind) but I just started a new series on my channel, where each week I put together a playlist of other youtubers I enjoy. This weeks topic is crappie fishin, so I had to include you of course! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqGwhoiHfdN5l7s

[@simonlephucdiem]

Thank you for another great video of crappie fishing, Gene! This technique is awesome. I am going to use it the next time I go fishing! 🐟

[@jadenm4198]

I just wanted to say I really enjoy your crappie videos and I'm a big crappie fisherman myself, and I was wondering if I should try out the itty bitty Bobby garlands?

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I like them! At times they work real well! I have a video where I use them if you would like to watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZSlnJJ5gdZqnqs

[@jadenm4198]

Richard Gene The Fishing Machine do u prefer fall or spring for crappie?

[@derrickanderson6989]

Hey Mr. Richard please do a catch and cook video for us.

[@albertmcfry6322]

Hey Richard,I was just wondering on your new boat,wouldn’t putting carpet on the floor cut down on noise! WOO

[@matthendrix5136]

Love your videos, you should make a video on how you cook all the crappie while you're at it!

[@liftbite56]

Thanks gene once again for the great video....always love the endings....what creek were u in? Bay springs? My place is across the lake. Ps don't let that woman whoop u! Lol

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Robert! I'm not sure the name of the creek. I'm not to familiar with the coosa river just yet.

[@grizzjohnson9026]

I received the 1/16 oc 4x4 last week but the 1/32 oz are still not available yet. still haven't been able to go fishing yet and try the new jig heads.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

It will be very soon, i'll let you know! Let me know how you like them!

[@SK_CrappieCatching]

EXCELLENT catchn & some gooderns too..... love that ending....LOL keep'um coming....

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

lol Thank you Crimsontide798!

[@Jesuslovesyou929]

love it

[@erniemays]

Enjoyed the video as always. Great job. I do have a question for you. I also use monofilament but I have the worst time with the line trying to twist up around the end of my rod. What are you doing to keep the twist out of yours? Thanks

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Ernie's Adventures! What I do is make a long cast with it when it starts doing that, then I will reel it holding my line with my index finger and thumb. Make several casts like that and it will get the twists out of your line.

[@erniemays]

Thank you. I will try that.

[@jdsgonefishenagain3376]

Good fish elmer!! That work can wait it's fishen time. What lake was you at this trip if you don't mind me asking?

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you JD! This was at Neely Henry, which is the coosa river that runs through gadsden al

[@williamwerner8118]

hey Richard, any hints on open water lakes this time of year in Florida, for some speck's!! no docks on this lake I'm fishing!!!!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

When I was A kid, i would drift Missouri minnows in open water on lake Okachobi . I would try that, and also fan casting a 1/32oz jig. Hope this helps! Thank you for watching William!

[@th3_crappi3_kill3r]

[@FishOnIsMyHandle]

Turn off the Netflix, Turn off Prime Pop some corn mamma, IT'S RICHARD GENE T I M E !!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

LOL Absolutely loved this!

[@Thriller2200]

Totally agree

[@sunnybigmc90]

😂🤣😂🤣

[@justaskjason2654]

Richard, what's your thoughts on jig head color, seems like you fish mostly with plain metal heads

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I fish with plain metal heads alot, however when the water has a dindgy color to it i like brighter colors. Because of the high visibility. I am a believer that crappie are sight feeders. Thanks so much for watching Jason!

[@yeshuaadoneinu436]

is there size limits on crappie where you are? 37 fish no size here

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

their is a 10inch size limit 30 per person a day

[@patrickcordery1635]

Good vid but can you please make a vid on how to take care of the battery that you use for your trolling motor and how often they should be charged thanks

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Sounds like a great Idea! I'll add it to the list! Thank you Patrick for watching!

[@jboat571x9]

I find that a lot of times I catch a good crappie on the first or second cast at a dock or tree and then don't catch any more. Any ideas on what is up with that?

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

More often than not, their are large concentrations of fish under docks/trees. However , because the water is so shallow, the fish will get spooked after a couple of fish is caught. If you will move to another area, and allow that area to "rest" you can come back and catch more fish. I would give it 15min rest at the least. Thanks for watching Jboat571 X

[@kroegerj]

Hi Gene! That was another great video! Thank you! Can you tell me about your boat and what a rig like that would cost?? Thanks in advance!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Jim! Its an 2011 Alweld. I bought it used so i'm not to sure what a new one would cost. I paid 6k for it. I can tell you they are great boats!

[@williamdavis8667]

Richard Gene, how do you know what color jigs to use and when to change colors?

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I go based by the water clarity. Clearer water i use more natural looking colors, something that mimics natural forage. For dirty, or dindgy water clarity I use very bright colors like pink/red/purple. Crappie are mainly sight feeders so the bright colors help in dindgy water. As far as changing the color, I change up when I've caught a few fish and they have slowed up biting. You can catch a few more that way. Thank you for watching William!

[@williamdavis8667]

I sure do love watching your videos. And I do appreciate what you are conveying to us crappie fishermen. Although catching crappies up here in the Cincinnati, Ohio metro area is tougher than most places, and the fact that I don't own a boat. But I still go fishing when I can, because it's gooood for me!

[@jb-uw6cf]

That was a nice mess. I am definitely gonna try the technique next week when we hit the Alabama. Thanks for the tip and the response. One more question, it was hard to tell on the video but do you use the loop knot when your casting and skipping docks or do you tie a normal knot all the way down onto the eye? Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work!

[@johnsipe9123]

I hope you don"t get cought!!!!! lol

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I'm lucky she ain't that fast lol!

[@jeremybest3454]

What kind of rod are you using when shooting and skipping docks? Just curious about brand, action, and length.. Prechate ya Richard. P.S. Fan from south Arkansas

[@miabellagsd]

should have taken ole elmo lol

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I can't get ole Elmo to do nothin anymore! All he does is watch monster movies all the time! lol

[@travisnichols8683]

Them there women just ain't gonna get it through there heads are they? When we crappie fisherman decide to go all WORK is put off till a mess of crappie is brought back!!!..😆😆😆

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thats right! Thats the way it should be!

[@greggestok3100]

How in the world can you do that without a bunch of line coming off the reel. I need to practice much much more apparently.

[@wattsballer]

Now do a fish fry video !

[@waldenli9232]

Hahahahaha
