The fishing is impressive, but he hit that 2x4 clean three good times and that's worth mentioning too.

[@ronyeahright9536]

4 times

[@shitloveaduck]

Superd00dz - something tells me that between Richard and “Elmo”, they can do almost anything!! Haha!

Some of us know what that is all about. Blue collar men we are. 13 hours a day.

[@claytonsisk9572]

The first fishing plug i bought at the age of 13 was a roostertail and i remember it worked well im 75 now and they still work and Richard your are a good man

[@heatherhigh5165]

Are you really 75

[@t-bonejones3576]

Rooster tail ain't a plug. It is a spinner. An inline spinner. Plugs have a body that wiggles, chugs or walks on or through the water. Made o' wood or plastic. Not metal. Usually don't have spinny bits neither.

[@bluewidow9151]

Why you say it like that lol

[@johnkinsey8904]

Roostertails aren't plugs. but I ain't 75 so what do I know. Im a Blue Fox man, anyways.

[@nitramza861]

I'm pretty damn impressed by this guy's power and accuracy with that sledge. I'm always amazed by his ability to catch fish, but he is also very much in shape for his age.

[@davidspencer2663]

Keep crankin them out and I'll keep watchin. You are the most versatile fisherman on KZbin.

Thanks for the helpful tips

[@shannonherb2048]

If there is one lure everybody needs to have in their tackle box, it's a rooster tail. Great video. Thanks, and God bless.

[@daves1563]

Rooster tail and mepps spinners are perfect for kids to start with. I've caught everything that swims with them.

[@jasonbowers9210]

What are mepps spinners?

[@herbertbyrd8473]

Mepp spinners are my favorite. #2 gold and #3 gold. I've caught huge and small largemouths, brimms, and crappies with it.

I'm here for the sledge swingin' tutorial. Fish were cool too 😂

[@adamhalstead2561]

He nailed it repeatedly and he did it rapid fire too!

As a logger I can do that in every direction. Down, up, sideways, diagonally, behind my head lol. Good times hitting wedges, make your core like steel.

[@fredyg.278]

They do catch anything that swims ! 😂👍🏼

Imagine being the neighbors and looking outside as you enjoy your morning coffee... and seeing this intro being taped. "Ah... Honey, looks like Mr. Richard is at it again! Yup, half naked with overalls, you guessed it." **chuckles & sips coffee**

I was just throwing a white rooster tail yesterday. Been a go to since I was a kid. Love your vids man.

A fisherman, well, he’s second to none! Love you Richard, you’re an inspiring and intrepid fella!

[@travisbuildsthis8673]

A rooster tail with a bait caster?!? Amazing!

[@leekellettjr441]

Rooster tails have been in my tackle box for 53 years. The brown is good for trout in mountain water.

[@Adjustedpriorities]

I enjoy your videos keep it up. Your a Goodman showing that an old bait still works that you can get at a local Walmart and not trying to push a brand just to make a buck. Keep it up! My favorite videos to watch on you tube.

[@stevenpotter69]

Been a big rooster tail fan ever since I started ultralight fishing. I still remember buying the little Mitchell Spidermite Ultralight reel. Put it on an Ugly Stick,and I was addicted. Fished the Eglin AFB reservation ponds with it,farm ponds up in lower Alabama...and Pea River,in the same area. Little creeks were my favorite, still are. Good times!

[@steveledbetter9579]

I love watching you fish I learn so much I live near carters like here in northwest Georgia. I plan on using some of the things you showed me . Thanks again. Be safe😷👍

Great video Mr Gene. I went night fishin this last Sunday-Monday night and was catchin tons of whites and largemouth in the middle of the night. Had a blast, I could see millions of minnows and shad under the pier lights. Wish I could go fishin with you and Elmo.

Reminds me of walking creeks with my dad when I was growing up casting small yellow with black dot rooster tails for bream or whatever else would bite. LOTS of jacks caught on em too. Be well my friend!!

You are such an inspiration to my husband and I. We found your videos last year and we have learned everything we needed to know about crappie fishing. Would love to fish with you one day!

[@timg2776]

Rooster tail is one of my go to trout lures. Keep that Elmo working. He might just build you a shed to put the boats in for a nap. After he does you can take him out fishing for once.

[@gabelumby8206]

The few nut jobs who gave this video a thumbs down deserve to be banned from KZbin and have their fishing licenses revoked for the next decade 😂. It is against the KZbin TOS to thumbs down The Machine!!!

Richard had to share this with my life long best friend, since we first met in high school he has joked about the power of a rooster tail for fish catching. I will be seventy this year, sure wish we were out fishing again this spring ,fishing friends are good friends. Love him,and your videos,especially the memories this one gave me.

[@MotorjockMike]

Mr. Fishing Machine I sure do enjoy your videos. Thanks, Mike in OKC.

[@erikvaldur3334]

Up here in NEPA I use rooster tails often. I have caught rainbow, brown and brook trout, small mouth bass, pickeral, walleye, shad and perch on them. Great all around lure.

[@Codysimmons0514]

I live in Attalla, and have been going up to Guntersville Dam to fish since I was a little kid with my father. My wife and I frequent it often just to have a fun time. To this day it is still my favorite place to fish, second place is Smith Lake Dam at Sipsey Fork. Really enjoy your videos man, keep up the good work!

[@bluewidow9151]

You got some good accuracy with that sledge hammer

[@PaleRider54]

RoosterTail in a variety of colors will catch anything from bluegill and shellcrackers to striper. The only things I haven't caught with one is catfish and carp or buffalo. Works real well for bass, of course, but rock bass and crappie love 'em, too.

[@nolanminor6761]

Richard you are a legend. Keep it up!

In the 80's used yellow 3/8 oz rooster tail for white bass in Milford Reservoir kansas.
