Love your videos

[@Johnnyreengo]

Fair weather, fair maiden

[@joe1071]

You gotta come up to Michigan and fish with us!

[@sistaslab3159]

Awesome video

[@steveleohr175]

That's all I use for crappie chartreuse metal flake in color

[@partner348]

Much appreciated, but i will say this on the idea that any curly tail will do. I've used that very curly tail. When he pulled the lure through the water near the rod tip at the boat to demonstrate the swimming action, he pulled it a lot faster than he fishes, and that tail won't swim at the speed he fishes. The "wrist", where the body meets the tail, is too thick. He caught fish, but it wasn't due to the swimming action of the lure at the retrieve speed that RG notoriously fishes. Look for a lure with a thinner wrist. Berkley makes one that will swim with the least amount of forward movement. It's more like a ribbon tail. Or...you can trim the wrist of the WM lure with a pair of scissors.

You're the best

[@ohshucks7156]

Just like in cold weather ...shiners don't go crazy in cold water ...they are neutral just like most fish. . So a jig would be better just sitting there when you get the right depth...

[@火盧]

You make skipping under the dock look easy, too easy. Especially that one-handed backhand skip.

[@gregdunn5904]

By far the best fishing channel I’ve found on KZbin , love crappie fishing and your videos have helped me tremendously in having more success

[@charleswiggins9184]

I enjoy all of your videos. I am 48 and have just started fishing again, the last time was my teenage years. Thank you for all the information on how and where to fish as it will help me on my journey.

[@richardbledsoe3312]

[@davidswimsr.8343]

It's no accident that you are consistently catching these crappie. EXPERIENCE. I rewatch all of your videos, in total disbelief of you getting fish to bite every day. I try to memorize the things that you are relaying from your experience. Thankyou. 10000×!!

[@fisherman7621]

Your opinions have helped me put more crappie in my fish basket thank u again Richard Gene

[@davidswimsr.8343]

Thumbs up for RGFM . DON'T FORGET!

[@davidswimsr.8343]

Give Richard a thumbs-up. Don't forget! For all the awsome advice on crappies. Second to none. WOOO!

[@dustinwise3135]

Great video...never have really fished for crappie but I am starting to get into it and I'm definitely a fisherman on a budget...thank you for all the tips, advice and the laughs...LOVE IT...God bless

[@rasputinferdinand5702]

Probably a long shot to get an answer, but where do you get that slab sauce spray?

[@Hunter-yn1vd]

How did you learn these techniques

[@andrewhaley8992]

Mr. Robert, I have fallen in love with your videos. You have really gotten me fired up for fishing again. Thanks for all you do!

[@jacob2790]

We love you gene!

[@Bullz71]

Are you using your electronics to locate these fish or just hitting different docks since thats a good place for crappie to hang out.

[@royarnold629]

Whoo!

[@keanurish8703]

lol, fun

[@frankapplegate4852]

went fishing this evening and tried a jig like you said and I caught a crappie just like you said! not very big but hey, it was a pretty fish. I was using a green and I'll be getting some white ones tomorrow. Thanks buddy.

[@thewaterox1]

Lol Gene you are certified Krazy! Good stuff!👍

[@michaelangelo9871]

I Love You Mean Gene the fishing machine you're awesome. Don't you ever do in your outro I love it when you get to move in and playing your song at the end of your videos it gets me everytime

[@ohshucks7156]

The reason the fish bit the Bait while rubbing it against the post was because shad shiners eat microorganisms off it. Gene is a specialist in fishing

[@joebaharian]

Great video as always, thanks Richard

[@kellycottrell1674]

Another great episode! Keep em coming Richard Gene!

[@canyonrok2845]

I grew up in North Alabama and catching Crappy was a no-brainer. I miss fishing back home. There are Crappy here, but it is a significant undertaking.

[@keithwalker5078]

you talk about finding the depth but you seem to know where they are already. what's best way to find out what depth they are holding at?

[@GuntersvilleLakeFishing]

roll tide richard, great crappie!

[@mikebryant9493]

Thanks for the great tips and video Richard, stay safe!

[@903environment]

[@Jamesbass1968]

The best damn Crappie fisherman on the Internet!!! Love your videos!!

[@KennyP56]

Great show as usual Fishing Machine. That last one was a braggin slab. Thanks for the fun. Bent rods & tight lines.

[@michaelpatterson2955]

I really enjoy your videos! Is there some way you can adjust the mic to where it doesn't pick up your movement sounds or the wind sounds? Thanks for posting these -- they're very informative.

Incredible place, beautiful Fishing! Hug and always good *Fishing!* 👍🎣

[@mattmusselman5055]

Great video Mr Richard

[@loutippey9792]

Richard Gene those were some very nice slabs you were pulling out from underneath the boat docks. A simple pearl curly tail or straight tail is hard to beat. Works here in TEXAS as well. Good Vid as usual and keep em coming.

[@dsgbqc]

Shows that you don't need name brand to catch fish Walmart needs to sponsor this man!

[@haroldbaade4461]

I’ve built brush piles and now I am thinking about chumming for crape. Will chumming work on what should I chum with. Thanks for all the fun Richard!

[@PigPatrolTV]

Solid slabbbs man 👏🏻

[@dlb1942]

👍 Thanks Richard!

[@Legallyblindoutdoors]

What's better white or yellow? Around here crappie has to be 10" or more too keep how about where you are ? The biggest one I've ever caught was12"

[@keithjeffries3789]

Went Fishing At 69 Bridge Bait Fish Was Everywhere is Its Best to go somewhere Else Or Fish Right in With Them ?

[@davidpatten3738]

Can anyone help me i am trying to figure out the name for a tube jig with 3 tails out the back and you normally use a jighead

[@alexlee2328]

Cant wait to watch been waiting on this one this is one of my go to baits go gene

[@williamc7460]

Mr.Gene the King machine. Great video.

[@fuzzyfultz]

Awesome Brother, as always.

[@billantrim2251]

On Weiss this week brother and it’s hot!! Still catching a few but mostly just relaxing. Great job as always my friend! 👍🏻 God bless and Go Big Blue 💙!!!

[@antondahl8945]

Hey Richard,go crazy now and then! Ha! Good final comment you made on economy jigs often out producing name brands,if you find the right one's. I caught my personal best crappie this past Sunday a 2.3 pound 16 1/4 inch beauty. Yet an older gentleman fishing in a boat nearby caught far more fish than I. He slow trolled a simple cheap yellow jig around the bridge pilings and mopped up on crappies. Another nice fellow tight lined minnows(no float) from his jon boat. He was catching fish all along too. Wonderful displays of skills. We can learn from such fisherman. I was casting a 1/8 oz fin spin blade jig with a 1/32 dropper jig up a foot and a half. Using fireballs too,when I caught my huge crappie. Thanks for all of the fabulous information,laughs and fun!

[@shermanhenderson1817]

Great fishing Richard!

[@patarmstrong1712]

Ole Buck Henry wrote a book about catching fish based on depth, speed, and lastly color. He also had a line of diving metal baits, in different colors. and his claim was if you followed his model, you'd catch fish.

[@williamwilson3785]

Name was Buck Perry.

[@saelee33]

Keep it up. Nice. Do more crappie video

[@mc2000Gmc]

Great show brother

[@karalewis2908]
