Creek Fishing With Bluegill As Bait

[@dalehammond1704]

I've seen about every fishing video online and there ain't nobody like Richard.

[@bowfreak21]

I love this channel. No click bait, just straight up fishing. Love ya man, God bless.

[@sycksyn]

Straight facts and I love it. He doesn't waste my time with useless chatter. He speaks when he has something to say and simply talks about why he does what he does. Subbed today!

[@kristoph1000]

Rich you are an American treasure! If someone asks me what America is like, I’ll refer them to your videos!

[@josequintero6319]

Hands down the Best Fisher man I've ever seen...alot of fishing videos on KZbin but noonne gets close to his techniques and humbleness to teach us...Thanks for these AWESOME VIDEOS Richard Gene.

[@over50nomads70]

Watching you fish with that ok’ cane pole sure does bring back some great memories of when I was just a young boy. I’m 60 years old now, and I made the mistake of getting caught up with the latest and greatest fishing gadgets. My next pole may just have to be a 10’ piece of bamboo... Thank you so much for reminding me of those kinder similar days.💕

[@giantgrowth4204]

Can poles makes me thinking of fishing with my great grandfather. Using crickets as bait he paid me 50 cent to catch. Fishing is a great memory maker

[@joshuacraft493]

Caught bluegill and crappie at my camp all last weekend with my 9 year old girl and 6 year old son with cane poles and thank god they are just like they daddy and love fishing

[@TheWinterShadow]

Dude! You are fishing with a cane pole and catching decent fish? With no high tech junk? All natural? Man, you have some seriously superior fishing skills!

[@omarflores493]

TheWinterShadow or because it’s live bait lol

[@theseaofred]

@@omarflores493 It was chunks of meat from a Bluegill.

[@HBEliteAirsoft]

TheWinterShadow might just be why he catches all the fish. Doesn’t get caught up in the fancy stuff.

[@Teezythadon]

​@omarflores493 He's not but what's the difference if he was? Live bait don't make you a great fisherman, otherwise everybody would be.

[@ryansheriff745]

Get this man a tv show for sure!! Great info, and what a personality to teach it. Love this channel man!

[@simplemansBBQ]

Brother you are the real american idol! You are so awesome to watch man. My top 4 things in life God, Family, BBQ and Richard Gene.

[@ikehurd216]

[@SKyNeT948]

Amen brother!

[@ericblade8330]

Oh yeah!

[@wishyouthebest9222]

God bless you for putting our Lord first.

[@shizelds2414]

This man just taught me how to tie a Snell Knot in about 2 minutes. Usually takes me way longer to learn new knots.

[@JPthebeeman]

Richard, at the 5:50 mark was sure there’d be a “Woo!” 👍😉

[@MrFurflyin]

At the end the little dog was trying to get away from Elmo as fast as he could. LOL That was the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

[@kerrys.5725]

Richard, You've proved it now for about the 300th time that you are "THE MAN" when it comes to fishing! Learn something EVERYTIME! Keep it up, and God Bless!

[@robertchillcott7669]

I'm glad you're making Catfishing videos, it brings back a lot of childhood memories when that's all I fished with was a two piece cane pole with 20 LB test line and a thin wired hook. I could fish in some snaggy places and if I got hung up I could pull back on the pole and straighten that wire hook out get my rig back.

[@paintballer4665]

My family and I are fishing the Ohio river with live bluegill. 2 flatheads in the boat so far and my 3 yr old boy loves watching your videos. Ironically both fish were caught while watching these. Thanks for all your good advice and great videos Richard. You have 2 generations watching them as we speak.

[@jeffdauer8816]

Thanks for doing these videos, Richard. Like to watch them with my 5 year old. We both love them.

[@johnprendergast1338]

Just a relaxed ,normal guy enjoying fishing ...great to watch ..)))

[@918outdooradventures6]

"He's not near as big as I thought he was" lol Richard, I'm the same way. I just get too excited on the hookset!

[@Forevertrue]

Thank you Richard and Elmo. I always learn something from Richard Gene! I admire your fishing ethic as much as your knowledge. thanks Richard.

[@DarkCeasar85]

Lmao. Gene said "BOY, I LIKED TO WENT JUST NOW". my favorite channel these days.

[@charlesmccullough5132]

Enjoy so much watch you catch fish I am 47 and have learned so much more about fishing thank you for making these videos and keep sending them I tell all my friends about you !!! God bless you all!!!

[@stephenhair5501]

Sniffing the plant and scared the heck out of your dog!!! LOL. Hope you catch a big one! You're a blessed man Richard!!

[@Mr_Man_7803]

Fish being stronger in creeks makes sense because they are constantly dealing with current, therefore making them stronger swimmers and fighters.

[@davecfishing7907]

yeah bass fight way harder in current because they have more muscle

[@Resistculturaldecline]

And the current acts against their body surface when the angler is fighting them

[@fernandocalvillo4615]

I think its so awesome how you explain all the smallest details!! I Appreciate it because i’m fishing so its cool to know more.🙌🙏🏻🙌🙏🏻

[@CH-xo8ss]

Creek fishing is fun!! You’re right they do seem to pull harder!! Great video RGTFM!!

[@glennw.4570]

RG, I just discovered you two weeks ago. I in SW Huntsville, and I recognize lots of places you go. Bless you Brother. God keep you well.

[@bocfus72]

Thanks for the videos not only entertaining but educational, keep the great work!!!

[@zay7076]

Best video yet to me ! Love cane pole fishing brings back a lot of kid memories I had with my dad. Glad to see people still cane pole fishing other myself

[@rickerose541]

I used some of your advice this past weekend and had a blast. Caught quiet a few BIG bluegill. Thanks for showing me a better way. Your AWESOME man. May GOD bless you .

[@gatorbites5785]

Sir bill dance never showed me a knot or half what im learning from you in 3days watching u ! And i imagine you even where blown away with the perfect camera set up . Sometimes ur callin is a little late but age makes all the difference man u were born to teach this art .

[@bbcustomoutdoors]

A friend and I went to the river Saturday to do exactly what you did in this video, but from a boat with spinning gear. We were having so much fun catching the bluegill for bait on our ultralight gear, that we forgot to fish for catfish! It was good fer us!!!😉

[@danl.909]

Entertaining as always, Richard. Great fish, fine camera locations and angles. The commentary was fun, as usual. Thank you so much for the video.

[@Leonardd6133]

I enjoy your “personal methods” for catfish fishing. Educational and entertaining. Thanks.

[@henrygarrison1613]

He's so honest.... his techniques are simple , and so look productive...

[@fluty0562]

As always,,, your video is pure magic and wonder.. Its always a joy to fish with you.. God bless and be well...

[@randallpinkfloyd7225]

Ever since I started watching Elmo, I have an uncontrollable urge to say Woo!

[@alfazio047]

I just got back from the lake in Flagstaff az and caught 7 big ol lake trout!!!! Go fishing when you can baby!!!!! You rock brother!!

[@85irocz28]

Trout r in arizona?

[@DWAYNEGRAY]

Where did you go in flag? I was at Roosevelt Friday caught a few flatheads

[@grumpyjohntxredneckrc6346]

[@tracymeadows3442]

Lol im still laughing over sniffing the plant😆loved it as always Brother 👊🏻👊🏻

[@OhioRiverFisherman]

I firmly believe that u can catch fish in a mud puddle. U are a world class fisherman. And u teach us so much. Keep catching em old friend.

[@loutippey9792]

Fishing crews like that with a good current can be loads of fun as you just proved. You never know what you are going to catch. That water was awfully muddy and i'm surprised they bit as well as they did. Great job again Mr. Richard Gene.

[@tuccoramerez5523]

Best fishing channel I've seen yet. Just sub'd. And you are correct, fishing is good for anyone!

[@rudymendez8299]

My grandkids and I really love your videos.The kids love it at the end when you twist your cap...keep them coming!

[@keithmcgee8912]

Reminds me as a kid with dad dropping minnows around cypress tree's and duct blinds. Love it. I hope more fathers take there kids out doing this its fun and easy and will make memories

[@micray143]

You are absolutely one of the funnest fisherman I've seen on the web LOL

[@Pureinheart1]

As always the best of videos. It sure brings back alot of good memories back in the 50's & 60's. God bless you brother and keep up the good work.

[@themidsmoker]

Probably the coolest fishing video I've seen on KZbin. I've been fishing for bluegill and bass with a cane pole recently and only just started getting the hang of targeting catfish with my other rod and reel. Going to try and cane pole for some channels tomorrow thanks for showing us how it's done

[@glenndunn5886]

Great video, as usual! Had to laugh when you grabbed that limb and rushed back toward the camera; you scared the Alpo out of Momma Sue’s little dog, haha!

[@Bighead8730]

One of my fav fishing channels! Come to Charlotte!!

[@vaughnholbrook8160]

Cane Pole, man that brings back lots of memories of fishing with my dad & grandpa back in the 60's!

[@justinstuart3674]

Caught myself a soft shell up here in Ohio. I was fishing for flathead with live bluegill ( All thanks to you), hooked a softshell instead. The weather was quiet hot and the fishing was slow.

[@lanejohnson5970]

I’m am so grateful I have found this channel he’s reminds me of myself because he’s a kid at heart when he sets that hook

[@justtinkering6054]

I love your videos! They are educational and very entertaining. Keep up the great work!

[@CptCdKirk]

Damn Richard I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of your videos! I really like watching them and learn a thing or two while doing it. Keep it up! 👍🐟

[@amieengland2437]

Sniffin the plants 😂😂 And at the very end omg I laughed so hard when the dog followed you to the tree and you pulled on the tree limb and the dog took off like what the world. 😂😂😂😂😂 I love your videos so so much!!!! Keep it up Richard!! This is the best video in a while as far as the funny scenes. 😂 I love it!!!!

[@willisbusby1622]

I grew up fishing ponds and creeks Love your videos and advice

[@davidinghram2494]

I thoroughly enjoy your fishing videos and your clear explanation of what you are doing. I usually share the watching with my wife who is from China. She just can`t stand it when you let your fish go. I laugh at her when she does that. She says, zim jim be (crazy). Thanks for showing how to tie a snell knot, I always wondered how it is done, now I know.

[@-777OUTDOORS-]

Awesome video buddy. Me and my family look forward to your videos we can actually sit down and watch as a family and thats why your channel is one of our favorites.

[@hunterpbo1]

This reminds me of being a kid using a "cane pole" pickin' bluegill's out of farm ponds...Best channel on KZbin. Your not selling us your latest rod/reel/t-shirt. Nothing but great entertainment and how-to's. Looking forward to 300 more Richard.

[@chazymotto126]

Another great informative video Rich! I found your channel a few weeks ago and you’re now the only fisherman I watch on KZbin! I had a question have you made a video about fishing and the weather? I haven’t watched all of them yet but it’s something no one covers but you seem to know your stuff with the weather. If you don’t have one up on the channel yet, here’s my vote. Haha thanks for all that you do and tight lines

[@gregtoney2650]

I really enjoyed this video about catfishing a creek. I've got flatheads on my brain like you do so get after those flatheads Richard your the best

[@jamesgreen4522]

Here I am stuck inside with the rain and orders to not get out into the public because of the virus. Your videos make it fun. Just wait until the weather clears and I can get out by myself and fish. Thank you for the videos.

[@vincewoolley6774]

Reminds me of a Marine Corps training exercise, we were flying out of NAS Oceana VA. We barracks at a National Guard base. They had brackish water ponds just a few hundred yards off the ocean. We cain pole fished most every night. Good times.

[@fishinfool4204]

You are a legend my friend. Another awesome video you are a fishing machine that's for sure! Love circle hooks

[@MohawknRocks]

I love your channel. You are hilarious and informative. Elmo needs to come around more.

[@jamie.777]

I agree 1000 percent that this is the most SPORTY! Reminds me of my childhood, catching tautog off the Newport RI rocks with same pole and a crab 🦀 on a hook

Looks like fun catching them channel cats. Wish I had a fishing buddy like you. Ol mean gene the fishing machine!

First fishing pole I used was a cane pole brings back memories love your videos

[@willpiper3132]

Love your vids man! Love to see you and Elmo take a trip up north!

[@BrandonJones-rz6ui]

Fishing on the Flint, I travel that road a lot as I live in the area as well. Love the videos and insight into fishing. I grew up on the water back in Tennessee and would go fishing a lot but not really knowing what I was doing haha! Thanks to you, I think I might tackle it again. I’ve got a bass buggy pontoon that needs to see the water more for fishing rather than playing.

[@monmixer]

Nice, love the creeks, there is a little creek and i mean little about 20 miles south of my home that runs into the Ohio river outta the woods starting about 15 miles back in the hills. I was down there one day about noon and started fishin with salad shrimp. Catching channel cat 2 foot long and longer all day. there was so many of them in there my brother who I lost this past year was walking across some rocks and stepped on ones head thinkin it was a rock. Just laying in slightly rapid shallow water and when that fish jumped under his foot he went down in the creek. lol I'll never forget that day. Very hard creek to fish because there aren't many access points from the road and it runs through a lot of private property but an old buddy of mine used to own a nice long stretch down there and that is where we was fishing that day. Killin channel cat in 3 to 4 foot of water in most of the deepest spot in creek not more than 25 foot wide. We caught a lot of other fish in that creek also. a spillway from monroe lake in monroe county Ohio feeds one fork of that creek. simply called Sunfish creek. the mouth is in clarington Ohio into the Ohio river and the creek has a fork in it like i said about 15 miles back at the bottom of the hill from Woodsfield Ohio where monroe lake is. What a beautiful creek. thanks for the videos, you have my favorite fishin channel.

[@jbslittleshop2897]

This video brings back lots of memories!! Me and my cousin would just have some line and a few hooks. Would head to the river find a couple of good stiff limbs in a tree. Cut them tie on some line and a hook then find a few worms or grasshoppers and it was on for the rest of the day!!! Thanks for the video!!!

[@fishingwithphil7603]

Hell yeah brother. I caught me a nice channel today too. Water was maybe 2 feet lol. Great upload brother!

[@skiprussell8153]

Good afternoon Richard, when I go fishing I always take a small bottle of Equate hand sanitizer (3 fl oz) from Walmart to clean my hands. A lot of times I also forget to take a rag with me. I sure like your video's, you have a lot of information that I use when I go fishing. You have a great week, take care. Skip from Riverbank, CA.

creeks are some of the funnest fishing, I once caught a 25lb carp out of a small creek

Circle hooks were designed and first used by commercial tuna fisherman. They've been around awhile but it took some time for them to catch on with everybody else. Great video's btw.

[@prevost8686]

That little creek is still running hard. It finally stopped raining up here for the last few weeks and turned off dry like August usually is here. Daddy used to say that the very first thing I’d do when he took me bank fishing was fall in and get muddy from head to toe. Used to make him so mad. I don’t know why. Momma had to wash my clothes not him. Thanks again for the video!

[@rickfazzini6440]

Very true, Tim. Both of the two biggest fish I've ever caught were on a $12 Shakespeare spincast combo from Walmart: a 30" channel cat and a 40" pike! The best rig is the one you have in the water!

[@allencrouch9257]

Love this Channel! Watching from Morehead Ky. Learned so much from your videos! Like to see some carp videos! Lol. And If you’re ever around where their is any at, some Muskie videos! Look forward to seeing more recently caught a huge blue cat with your method from bluegill cut bait.
