The things you teach in videos has caught more crappie this year than ever gives me the opportunity to spend more time on the lake with my two grown sons thank you and God bless.

[@joseprado-ti3ij]

goodjob! mr richard

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Mr Jose!

[@waytogojonny]

Best outro ever!

[@TomSlatton]

Injoyed the video . I'm trying to learn how to use jiggs. You are teaching me a lot. I really enjoy watching your videos on

[@kwrinn]

Oh my Goodness! Sure was good to see that orange and white shirt under that houndstooth hat! Gonna make a Tennessee boy outta Richard, yet!!!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Well I love the tennessee river so their is a chance! We're still brothers! Thanks for watching Kenny!

[@dougblack7411]

Machine....you ever try using a slip bobber rig? It would allow you to keep your jig at any desired depth without counting your jig down or hitting bottom and reeling a few cranks. We use it for a variety of species down here... pretty sure you could put it to work as well

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I have used them. I use that setup mainly in the winter time or late fall, fishing with minnows. Thanks for watching Doug!

[@garyc8208]

Darn it Machine....now I have to get me to styles of hats to catch Crappie like you do. I refused to buy that wig from the other video. Enjoyed.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I don't blame you Gary , but if you want that wig you can have it brother LOL!

[@aventuras1972]

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Hello again my friend, another great video. You are the man! Got a question for yee. Have you ever seen the crappie checker b&m makes? It's called the b&m slabmaster crappie savor. Those slabs you catch that won't fit in easy checker should fit in that one. Check it out I think you'd like it. See you next time brother!

[@alhughes2203]

Richard, i guess you were up the yellow river. I have never been up there. where did your 2nd stop take you.? I didnt recognized that area either?

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

The 2nd stop was the bridge that goes over the man made cannal. Ive only been their a few times myself. Thanks for watching Al!

[@eminart]

I left a brand new Buck knife laying on that bank behind you about 23 years ago. If you find it, give me a holler. And keep up the good work. I'm a decent fisherman, but I still learn stuff from your videos.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Scott and will do! If i ever find your knife I'll give you a holler lol

[@sonyamalain2696]

you always make me happy no matter what life throws at me keep it up love ya bro. ps ole Elmo had me 😂😂😂 on an older video👍👊👊

[@helenlondon7714]

RG you are taking away all my excuses why it wouldn't be a good day to take my wife fishing with me 😂. She's sees you catching them all year.Love the videos keep them coming!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Helen and will do! Make sure to go when you can cause it's gooooood fer ye!

[@daviddaigrepont9485]

Please explain why you pull to the side after setting the hook?

[@ethandungan3683]

What size crappie do you like to keep to eat?

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

10-12 usually. Our limit here is 10in. Thanks for watching Ethan!

[@randallramsey2181]

You use 1/32 jig head that size hook is it?

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Right 1/32 mainly. sometimes 1/64 and 1/24. I use hook sizes from 6 to 4. Thanks for watching Randall!

[@beaurampey375]

Always check your trunk before u get in your car earl might be in there haha

[@foothillscrafted1056]

Great endin' there, Gene. Good to see you havin' fun, cause it's good fer ya!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Foothills! It's goooood fer ye!

[@theldun1]

how did you get that carpet to lay so well in that floor ????

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I used contact cement. Once it's on it will never come off. You can use a cheap paint brush to apply it. Apply it to the back of the carpet and whatever your sticking it too. Its a little hard to work with but its well worth it. Oh and don't forget to wear a mask cause the vapors are very strong

[@daviddaigrepont9485]

When you mention the time during the video it helps us to get an idea of how our fishing stacks up to yours

[@mikeypee2365]

From a Eufaula native living in California, preciate ya!!!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank yoiu Mikey Pee! I appreciate you for watching!

[@aguirre9988]

Try slim Jim as bait please

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I thought about doing that once but i ended up eatin before the fish did lol Thanks for watching Oscar!

[@jump5qq]

Great video Richard. It's hot here in the Memphis area also. Say if I can ask, you being a carpenter and all. What glue did you use to get the carpet to stay in place? Did you primer the plywood sections? Thanks for the great videos! Hi to Elmo!

[@illduitmyself]

there is outdoor carpet glue at any lumber type place. usualy for porches n stuff. works great. or staple from underside

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

The best thing to use, no doubt, is contact cement. you have to aply to back of carpet and the surface you are going to stick it to. It's a little difficult to work with, but once it's stuck it will never come off. You can use a cheap paint brush to aply it. Make sure to wear a mask because the vapors are very strong! Thank you for watching Ken and Rick!

[@xandervo5446]

Great video Richard!!!! It is hot here in Atlanta. Them crappies are not bitting like they should be. It been raining like crazy too. I'm have to try your trick to see if I can get them to bite.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Xander Vo! Give it a shot and let me know how you do!

[@iamremy-kl3xm]

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

LOL Thank you Larry!

[@randy1ization]

the crappie are chasing baitfish up and down those columns that are eating that algea

[@BD621]

Another great video, Machine! Love it!I finally got some decent fish out of the lake, even in this HEAT! Whew-WEE!Question: did you do the green turf on that boat? I'm prolly gonna get me a boat real soon, and wondering how to rig it up.YOU'RE THE BEST!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you BD621! I did! What I used was contact cement. you can apply it with a cheap paint brush. Make sure to wear a mask because it has very strong vapors. Apply the contact cement to back of turf and to whatever surface you are putting it on. It's a little hard to work with but once you put it on it will never come off!

[@EastTxFishingFools]

I caught a crappie last week that had a large black stripe from his head down his spine to his tail. I thought it was odd because I'd never seen one before. Would that of been a "black nosed" crappie as you said in this video? If so, are they rare or special in anyway? I ate him!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Yeah that sound like a black nose! i haven't caught a whole lot myself it was just about a month or two back I caught my first one. From what I've read they are black crappie with a recessive gene.

[@GuntersvilleLakeFishing]

u tha crappie king richard lol, love the vid... glad u didn't melt out there.. keep the vids coming!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Matt! I know it, It's gettin increasingly hot in our neck of the woods!

[@jonahlawrence2797]

love your videos I'll keep watching there great and funny at the end how many crappie rods and reels do you have are they all the same do you have a Lew's spinning reel for Crappie

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I probably have about 10-12 in all. I have different types that I use fore different ways of fishing. I have 2 lews spinning reels. Thank you for watching Jonah!

[@deniceguyfinishlast663]

I needed that laugh today, thank you! Do you catch fish EVERY time you GO fishing???

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

LOL glad it made you laugh Dwight! To be honest I do catch fish everytime I go. Sometimes I might catch 3 or 4 fish only. So I do have my bad days.

[@mauricedanzey3788]

Hey Richard Gene "The Fishing Machine" do you take people out on trips? I would like to come up there and try to catch a few of those summertime Crappie. I'm here on Ft. Benning and was think about taking some leave to do me some much needed fishing.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I hope Too be able to do this one day. I still work 40 plus hours a week so I can't really plan trips. I go fishin every chance I get, but because of work/ othe obligations I don't know when those trips are. Thank you for watching Maurice and I hope to go fishing with you one day!

[@mauricedanzey3788]

You tell me a time and give me a grid I'll be there.

[@Tlarramore]
