[@robertintexas]

Gene, You've been an inspiration to me. The last 10 or so years, I've been in poor health. The last year, I've lost 150 lbs and getting around a lot better. Had my boat in storage for 12 years. Put a new outboard on it a couple of months ago and brought the old boat back to life. I'm going to get out there every chance I can from here on out. Thank you so much for rekindling my love of fishing. Rob.

[@adamparsons1725]

robertintexas I feel ya,brother! Multiple Sclerosis has held me down of late,so fully understand! He has done the same for me. Most folk just wouldn't understand but Richard has blessed my life more than he knows. Hope you stay on this positive climb sir! Attitude is just as "good fer ya" as watching the Machine from the ole Lazy Boy...warmer that way though! Eh catching fish like that...would never even notice the cold though lol. Praying for you,Brother!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you both Robertintexas and Adam! Your comments mean a lot, motivates me to fish harder. God bless!!

[@garyleach92]

I admire your story. I had an amputation in 2014 and recently began trying to walk again and it is a major problem. If you can come back after 10 years I should be able to after five. Thank you, Gary Leach.

[@locoken]

Richard, I just wanna say that the reason I love watchin' your videos is for one, I love crappie fishing, and you always deliver when it comes to crappies, your down to earth attitude that keeps me laughin' every time I log on, and last but not least, that darned southern accent is irresistible to listen to. I love your humor, your sarcastic take on things, and the fact that I'd love to have someone like you to spend my day on the water fishing with. Thank you for providing me with daily entertainment and helpful videos like these. I get a bunch of fun outa watchin' you every time I log onto youtube. Have a great day, my friend! You da best!

[@Upandonthego]

I enjoyed watching you fish. It brought back memories. Have not fished in the last 4 months since my husband passed. We loved going to the lake. Continue to do what you are doing. It brings joy to us. I hope to get out again soon. God Bless

[@georgekneece8975]

Richard , I’ll be 68 yr. Old July 15 , hopefully God will see fit for me to be around a lot longer . Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I enjoy your channel better than any I’ve ever seen . Keep up the great work , and please start keeping more Crappie , if they are frozen in water, they stay fresh and Good . God Bless you Brother !

[@ronbridges678]

I just found your channel and I must say that I am awe struck! I am an Alabama boy who has been in Texas most of my life. I am severely disabled and watching your videos makes my life a lot better! I was always a saltwater fisherman. I have never caught a bass, crappie or a freshwater catfish. I am hoping one day to get to come back to my home state and do some of the same fishing that I have been watching you do. Please keep the content coming and if I never get to come home and fish at least I can watch you and dream!!!

[@peterpeterhaha]

Your videos make me so happy! I've learned sooo much from you, everything from using light light and light jigs! Thank you kindly Richard Gene, Fishing Machine Extraordinaire! You are a kind-hearted person and the world could use more gentlemen like yourself!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much my friend! Your comment makes me feel motivated!

[@kellydoyle7186]

I wish my dad was still alive so he could watch your videos. His favorite thing to do was catch crappie. He lived for it. I know he would love your videos. Thanks for making these videos and thanks for bringing back some of the best memories I have of my dad. I sure miss him.

[@randyjohnson1989]

Yea I miss mine to passed 2004 he loved fishing finally caught a 3lb crappie in a pit in KY he would have loved your show I also like your sauger fishing still learning about that my dad and I fished Erie 4 walleye were from Cinci Oh keep the shows coming.🚣‍♂️

[@enisshammac1245]

Richard Gene. At 70 and due to health problems, I cannot get out without someone to go with me. Your videos are almost like being on the water with my father again. He would always crack me up with his humour and antics much like yours. When I do get out I use many of the tips you shared on your videos. Thank you so much. I wish you fair winds and good hooksets.............

[@mikeharrington5087]

You're very inspiring to me. My friends and I up here in Ohio are watching and we are "Goin' Fishin' cause it's good for us"! ... and we love it!

[@robertbarnes7871]

First of all ,Your one of the best sportsman in the game of fishing, you show fish the Respect they deserve , no matter what kind it is,, and second is You deserve it, its hard to do these fishing videos ,, my hat is off to you,, just be careful on that water by yourself and FISH ON,, Thanks for sharing,, I simply enjoy watching....

[@ozzyj94]

Richard Gene I've been watching your videos for about a year now and I've been hooked ever since! I really appreciate all the info and tips you give in the videos. Very very helpful! I grew up on the Coosa River and fished there all my life and recently moved to Texas and have tried several of your tactics here and found to be successful most of the time, and I fish from the bank only! So thanks again! Happy fishing

[@kennyc388]

Love his little cardboard tackle box. Gene is the man.

[@scottcraigplumbingrepair7919]

Trying to figure out why 111 people dislike this video? Gene is a down to earth good ole country boy!!! Always catches fish, always very informative and I always get a good laugh watching him! I guess no matter how good u do there’s gonna be people who are just miserable. I like genes videos bc he’s just a normal everyday guy who loves to fish. What u see is what u get. Keep at it Mr Gene!!!

[@aswe1322]

I'm from Minnesota and the lakes are froze now. I drove thru Alabama a week ago and saw the open water down there then I looked on you tube for fishing down there and found your channel. You inspired me to come back work my boat and get some of those slabs

[@tjskibitcky5801]

I've watched a lot of fishing videos, and I think I love these the most. Keep on keepin on Gene

[@chadrandolph9874]

Wowwwwwwwww. Those where some nice slabs my friend. That 15incher was absolutely Slabadochous 👈🏽😁 15,000 subs 😲 #TheFishingMachine 👍🏽

[@kenawtry5056]

I enjoy your positive attitude. It's not "were gonna to try to catch crappie, It's were GOING to catch crappie"!!

[@single55]

I love how the fish just lay there still as you measure , it seemed to know, get this over with I need to go back home. You are a master crappie fishing machine. You're talkin to the fish, they seem to know you just having fun and they're going to go back home.

[@dougalexander7204]

All I knew about the Tennessee River was on my way to Gulf Shores, crossing it just before Huntsville on 65. But, I just looked it up on a satellite picture, and wow, what a body of water. I see now the work the TVA has done. A sportsperson’s paradise. RGTFM, much respect.

[@wilsonscott1968]

Richard my dad and mom took us fishing to lake Weiss and Guntersville and watching you fishing there brings back good memories

[@Chuck-e7d]

Well Richard Gene here we are four years later and you're at 295 thousand subscribers. Can't wait to see ya hit a million because you are truly one in a million. Fish on my friend 😁

[@hankll926]

Absolutely the best fisherman I've seen! You must feel good all the time with all the Crappie action you see! Keep it coming, I'm hungry!

[@glennhayes1480]

Tell Ole Elmo that I am watching from a jet fighter base in northern japan. Better content than 99% of the shows I watch. Grew up in Chattahooche valley swamps a huntin' and a fishin' with my dad. Great times those days...Richard keep on a fishin' cause it's good fer ya!

[@walterfarley9230]

You are by no doubt the greatest fisherman i have seen . You give so much insight to what you are doing. You keep it plain and simple as long as people do the little things you tell em. I had to live in alabama 30 years ago near lake guntersville amd got to fish it a lot. I feel its one of the best fishing lakes on the tva chain. Im up river from you where they drop the water a lot on the lakes in the winter. It changes the paterns and very little shore line weeds. Got to get back down t and fish again. But ,your shows the best of any . Oh i have large collection of poles and reels like you do. Just can’t help it. Love my old round cranking reels and fiberglass rods . Keep up the shows

[@davemoreno4323]

Really enjoy your videos. In my early 20’s I had a good friend and neighbor you remind me of. RIP Ed Watching you brings back great fishing memories with my dear friend. Thank you

[@StevenIW]

I'm so happy to support you. If I was still located in the South, I would make it my God given duty to come and fish with you. Since I am in Southern California, I hope that I can use some of the techniques you've shown us to catch the best fried fish I know. If there is anything I can do to help you and your channel, don't hesitate to contact me. I told my wife that you were mental, but I really believe that what you do comes from the heart. God has blessed me with your content. Keep it coming!!!! Steven.

[@digitalangler]

Great Job! I've learned so much watching your videos...Weekly I count the days to watch your next upload. Be well and remember, I'm going fishing every chance I can. Cause it is Gooood for me.

[@kickurbass5496]

Mr. Gene I absolutely enjoy every single minute of you shows......its a pleasure to watch you enjoy the sport that I have absolutely loved ever since I was old enough to pick up a rod and reel. Also, in todays world you don't see folks express their love for the Lord and all the great things he has done in your life. God Bless You Mr. Gene, hope to meet you on the Big G one of these days sir.

[@andrewhaley8992]

[@johnmozingo1836]

Love your videos. After a personal tragedy and years of not fishing, you encourage me to try again.

[@ecrusch]

Boy, that 2-pounder was a whopper! I bet you've caught over 10,000 fish, Richard Gene! I love your channel.

[@guylangenfeld2123]

Elmo sure missed the boat today, Richard. Thank you so much for teaching us how, buddy.

[@raymondroberts821]

Richard I found out about you on Jimmy Huston outdoors. When you and Jimmy were catching the big slab crappie at his lake at twin eagle ranch. It’s great that you love fishing as much as I do !!! Keep up the good work 👍

[@markcarman9042]

I'm always glad to see a new video posted from ol Gene and Elmo !! That was some good ol slab Jack's there Elmo !!

[@loutippey9792]

My goodness Richard Gene, you got into the SLABS for sure. Jigs tipped with a minner does work. That almost 15 incher at 2.1 lbs was a big MAMA for sure!!. Looks like a bunch of folks had been cutting their grass and blowing it into the river. Lots of floating grass! Great job as usual. Keep it up.;

[@gernblenstein1541]

Pleasure watching you work, brother!

[@robert6190]

[@epicrick]

I'm loving your videos, they sure remind me of fishing on my grandpas ponds as a kid. I'm going to try come crappie and blue gill fishing along with the bass I normally fish for. Roll Tide Richard !!!

[@kpla51]

you're endings are the best part motivates me to get out there even in the worst conditions.

[@robertdelgado2486]

I really like your channel. I’m glad I came across it. You remind me of my father-in-law. I live in Dallas, TX and we make it a point to take the kids every year to Lake Millwood, AR. while the kids are out for spring break to do some Crappie fishing and make some memories for the kiddos. Your videos get me hyped and ready to catch some Crappie. Keep up the good work!

[@jasire2]

Hey Gene, looks like your using my favorite old 308. Best ultralight ever made. Bought mine in 1971 and it is still hammering the fish.😁

[@hardtimetrucking8770]

Crappie and catfish. My two favorites. Keep up the great work brother.

[@glennthornell2858]

Glad to see you again my Brother gene

[@tretwitherspoon7107]

Every time I watch one of your videos, my wife gets made at me because I plan my day on the water the next day! Love your show brother! Go fishing when you can because it’s gooooood for ya!!!!

[@shellcrackerlover5889]

[@mitchellhelms7238]

It's been tough fishin lately wind howling and rain. Got a new boat for Christmas been out everytime I can and learning new places no crappie yet but I'm unstoppable. I love watching your videos keep on hooking and posting videos I'll keep watching NICE SLABS

[@FishTickler59]

Howdy, from Maine! It will be another 4-5 weeks before we can be catching crappie where I fish. Maine only has Black Crappie and they were stocked by mistake in 1969 by the Fish & Wildlife when they put large mouth bass in Lake Sebasticook. There were crappie in the same pond as the bass. These crappie are all over the State now and what a fun fish to catch. Thank you for your informative videos.

[@johnniecarter318]

Fine day on the lake boss! Preciate you sharing it I sure enjoyed watching it and I’m dang sure going this weekend now!! Thank you Richard!

[@jerryadams3353]

Apart from the rest of the fishing channels I’ve subscribed to, this one by far is my favorite. Thanks Machine for sharing your knowledge of fishing and thanks for creating such an entertaining channel, I been following you since the beginning. Keep up the good work, and keep fishing because it’s good fer ya. Much love and support from Texas.

[@bretthompson22]

Great video again Brother! Glad you are having great success! 😀

[@gillgetter3004]

Some beatiful black crappie . I use powerpro 10 lb. 2lb. mono diamiter. I use no leader they dont seem to care with bluegills redear or crappie. Even thru the ice and the water is gin clear a leader isnt nessesary. But if you think you need a leader by all means use it. That power pro is the best braid in my opinion. I have spent alot of money trying them all. Great vid and keep ya line wet Richard.

[@mandinickoson4323]

Richard you are my favorite fisherman God bless brother keep on fishing. ......love to watch keep making videos

[@alvinwine5665]

Richard Gene you are the fishing machine without a doubt I enjoy your fishing videos

[@pauldrapac466]

Wow Richard! Those are some nice slabs! Keep creating great fishing vids.

[@randy1ization]

that ole mitchell reel brings back alot of memories,, I think that clicking noise travels thru the line and attracts bites.

[@rcagle123]

Keep em' coming. Learning a lot from you Richard!

[@williamcrowder2822]

Rewatching some old videos, Richard Gene now has about 350k more subscribers and ain't changed a bit!
