Nearly 50yr old reel works wonderfully! Them chubs don't swim around too long before getting chomped on. Fishing is second to none! I have watched all of your videos and I am eternally grateful that you have shared your knowledge with us Richard Gene the fishing machine! Thank you sir!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much John! I'm glad you enjoy them my friend!

[@timdoyal6904]

I was fishing up your way last week for bluegill and shellcrackers. I kept my eyes peeled looking for my hero "Richard Gene the Fishing Machine"! Maybe next time. Still the best channel on KZbin!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

lol Thank you Tim! I wish I could have met you!

[@brianmcclung2330]

Machine, as I said to you before I started Bass fishing about a year ago when I moved here to South Carolina from Baltimore , Md. I have learned so much from you! Once again you have inspired me to lighten up my gear and tackle and instead of ripping those fish out of the water like other guys, I want to try and bring them in lightly. Also I wanna seek out small mouth bass now as well!!! Keep em comin sir! Brian McClung, Summerville, SC

[@russellself3140]

GREAT VIDEO !!!! Thank you Richard for not cussing, it is nice to watch without hearing it. I can't wait to see you catch a Sauger out of the creek.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Russell! Ain't no sense in that cussin!! I ain't one for it but now Elmo on the other hand is a different story.

[@chadrandolph9874]

Gene your rod stayed bent. I love it man. You're second to none.... and I'll tell that to Kevin Van Dam 😁

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thanks so much Chad! I wish you would tell Elmer maybe he'd want to go fishin if you did lol

[@kodyspringer]

Another GREAT ONE in the history books Machine! Water temperature has cooled way down here, if you get a chance show us how you shoot docks for crappie with that ACC.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you StormsWarning!

[@jamiejohnson1200]

Another awesome video Gene! GA Lee Bum your rod was bent the whole time and that's what I like. Give that reel to Elmer and bring him with you to catch minnows for you next time.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Jamie! That sounds like a plan to me!!

[@nightfalladventures.5163]

Your such an amazing man you have taught me so much and have encouraged me in so many parts of my life other than fishing these past years, thanks for all the great videos! Love you Gene

[@macknine4461]

The only thing better than fishing is watching you fish AND that strain we hear in your voice when you set the hook and realize it is a better/bigger fish than you thought. Cooler wet weather is coming with Irma. thanks

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Mack Nine! Glad you enjoy my videos my brother!

[@tonymcbroom5252]

Don't know why Smallmouth are such a rush to catch, but I always light up when I hook a Small Jaw. That was an incredible day of fishing and some of the prettiest water on the planet. Awesome video sir and hope you get as much enjoyment out of making them as we all do watching them! God Bless you and yours sir.

[@hobomaninabox841]

Just found your channel Gene. Takes me back to when I was a teen and bass fishing in my uncles pond catching decent sized bass all day off of grasshoppers and crank baits. Thanks for taking me back sir!

[@ztemde978]

Thanks for scratchn’ that itch while I’m at work. Beautiful fish & water.

[@xandervo5446]

Awesome video Richard. Wish I was there fishing with you👍👍👌

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Xander Vo!

[@johnseaark8706]

Could tell that older reel was a disadvantage “won’t never use this reel again”. Still caught em all! Love it!

[@ds7193]

Richard, so glad i found you.I dread the day I catch up with your videos, and have to wait for a new one.I'm curious though in this video I noticed every time you made a cast and let some line out, it was so twisted up, was that because of the new old reel you bought. and does back reeling instead of letting the drag take care of it help with the line twisting. Your videos are inspiring to people like me, I fished every chance i got when I was younger, then I worked for the next 30 years, and now your videos make me want to get out there again, and why, Cause fishin is is gooooood for ya. Keep sharing with us how you set your rig up and what you use, and how you use it. Darryl from Georgia

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thanks so much Darryl! Yes you are right, the old reel doesn't have a roller bearing on the bail. It causes alot of line twists because of it.

[@shallowcreekfarm9282]

Great fishing video nice place to fish.You sang good too!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

lol thank you shallow creek farm!

[@rodneyyarbrough6524]

Good one Richard. You can catch them chubs by the hundreds in the ditch behind the civic center in Huntsville. We always used a sane to catch them.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Rodney!

[@ahmadmahmoud6625]

Richard Gene you are a classic fishing machine! I've just recently started watching your videos just about a month ago and I got to say I really enjoy it! I have been fishing for most of my life, but when I watch your videos I discover that I and a lot of people like me still have a lot to learn!

[@rwnes]

Great video wow that was a pretty place you were fishing. Watch out for them copper headed water moccasins.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Ron! I need to be extra careful of them copper headed water moccasins, their is a bunch of them here!!

[@hughmiller7479]

Fish on Mr Richard !! 👍😎❤️🎣🐟 I love watching..

[@joshgrimes9554]

Ooh Wee! Another good un' Richard Gene! I like those creek fishing trips, just something about it. And hey, I noticed you was getting some coil twists in your line. I always heard it's the way you lay the spool when filling up a reel....BUT, I got a trick that works great.....I put that new line on the spool in somewhat hot water for a little while and take it out and start filling my reel (shake off the excess water real good)...then I take a rag and spray it down real good with that black magic tire shine spray (like for car tires) and hold the line in a fold and reel my spool full. This process really helps to keep mono manageable after a new spooling. Hope it helps!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Josh! The main problem with this reel is it doesn't have a roller bearing on the bail. I wish I would have brought another reel because this one gave me problems with line twist all day! lol

[@garyc8208]

I like going fishing with you. Always good action. Good Job!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Gary C!

[@aintskairtolskol9520]

great video richard,,weather been the same here since harvey left,stayed with use 4 days here ,then left temps been 80's day 50's night,,he didnt just tear everything up,but cooled the earth ,glad to enjoy it normally triple digits this time year,,hey i noticed the side bend in your hook ,is this to keep from hitting eye knot or bait swim

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you ainskairt olskol! I use a size #4 eagle claw rotating hook. The bend is prefabricated in the hook. It makes for a great live bait hook!

[@davidhamilton4030]

ANOTHER GOOD ONE MEAN GENE !!! Dang! I was 2 years old when that real was made

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you David! I believe I was 3 myself

[@alhughes2203]

[@farmbikemike8923]

The smallie at 21:30 is BEEEAUTIFUL!!!

[@aylap1552]

Thank you Richard Gene. Thanks to you I caught my first and personal best creek bass on the mullberry river here in Arkansas.

[@tompalmer334]

Richard I am going today after the doctor VA visit this morning to the Little Warrior River

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Good luck Tom! Hope you catch a bigun!!

[@brittlanders351]

Those are some beautiful bass, in a beautiful setting

[@dr.keithw.kirbyd.d.9979]

Looks to me like you were having more fun than somebody with a screen door in a submarine. Mr. Richard, have you ever gone to a creek/river that has Carp in it and targeted them? Have you ever ate any of them? God has His hand on you because you catch so many fish plus you have so much fun doing it. And when family's/and just sometimes just the kids watch you they idolize you and make you their hero because you help them catch fish. I Praise God for you. Blessings my friend Bishop Kirby. I'm going for another cup of coffee and watch some more.

[@drewjanney6833]

You saying quite cracks me up and i do it now. That’s for all the tips. Wish you was in Northern Kentucky I need more tips on fishing the Ohio River

[@stanpierce4724]

Do you ever look for Indian artifacts, arrowheads and such? You sure have some pretty spots to look.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I don't. I have been told I should though! Thank you for watching Stan!

[@glennwebster4822]

[@mannyvenegas7601]

The MACHINE does it again! Great vid sir.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Vinny!

[@markwithers9468]

There ain't nothing better than creekin with chubs or shiners it truly gets em and also like how you clipped the line alot of people don't know that's it's better for the fish

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I agree Mark! It beats trying to pull it out and risking killing the fish

[@hennypenny97]

If you could sing as good as you fish, we would never have seen any of these videos. we would be listening to you at the Grand Ole Opry. lol

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

This comment had me laughing lol!! Thank you for watching my friend!

[@ethanmiller1248]

[@greenninja74]

Great show.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Omar!

[@jumpinggulley]

"I won't never use this reel again" lol. I've got a couple in the bottom of West point lake cause if you don't you'll keep giving them chances.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I don't blame you rip rap! lol it doesn't have a roller bearing on the bail, so it was giving me twisty line all day long

[@daveferguson4090]

You're the best Richard! Tight lines and bent rods!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Dave!

[@chasehartranft7414]

you're a good guy richard gene cause you never said anything bad about that reel until minute 16:34 . i noticed problems earlier. i know that experience. anyone that fishes much knows.

[@bluegrassbassing3790]

Same thing for me. Live bait has just a certain rush to it. God bless

[@garyleach92]

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

[@TheOsmodius]

Pound for pound, them smallmouth fight much harder than any other bass in my experience.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Your're Exactly right in my opinion TheOsmodius! I agree 100%

[@clmwrx]

I havent caught one yet but hard to believe they fight much better than a spot.

[@clmwrx]

Where is this amazing creek??

[@christophervalley7679]

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you tcrouch51322! If you get caught blame it on Elmo! lol

[@tcrouch51322]

I will ! Great idea lol

[@TheQuailtail]

You are the Man Richard. Great video. You are not using any weight looks like. Just the weight of the chub. What is causing the line twists? Reel or the line?

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you theQuailtail! yes no weight. That old reel i was using doesn't have a roller bearing on the bail that what is causing the twists

[@JRsTime]

love watching your videos..

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Anther great video Richard! Do ya'll have redeye bass near you? The creeks in central al are full of them.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you James g! We do have some but they are not plentyful like other species around here.

[@beebob1279]

Catch and release is the way to go.

[@treypike8215]

I have watched all the creek videos. Have you ever targeted or thought about targeting Rock Bass at all? Thanks, Trey

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Trey!! I live on top of sand mountain.In my immediate area we don't have them. The nearest location I have access is about 50 miles away. I plan taking the drive to catch some though! Thank you for watching my friend!

[@treypike8215]

Richard Gene The Fishing Machine Yeah I grew up in Flat Rock in Jackson Co. I have a couple holes for them if you ever wanna do a trip. Not far from Ider actually.

[@treypike8215]

Richard Gene The Fishing Machine also I learned my crappie fishing from some the Hoods over from Geraldine

[@thurminatorfishing206]

Richard i always give bass an 8 to a 10 count when using shiners and especially shad, i learned this from missing alot of them, especially using live threadfin shad.

[@thurminatorfishing206]

I like to hook my shad behind the dorsal fin, i find i gives them the ability to swim more naturally.

[@thurminatorfishing206]

Great video by the way as you make the most entertaining vids on youtube! Keep em coming brother!

[@mikewest712]

Thurminator Fishing how do you keep your threadfin alive?

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Everything is great big Pat! However ole Elmer and his wife are still having their arguments on a daily basis!! lol Thats right its gooood fer ye! If only Elmer knew!!

[@bumblur]

Hi Richard. Did you use a net to catch your minnows? Is that slime line monofilament? Do you ever use braid or flouro line? Thanks for sharing!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you John! I used a size 14 hook on 1lb test and a small piece of worm to catch the minnows one at a time. the slimeline is mono. I use flouro carbon line when I fish smallmouth using finesse worms. Thank you for watching John!

[@robertchillcott7669]
