Finesse Fishing Tips and Setup

[@BigT27295]

Love it when the drag squeals like that...

[@robbieh.9435]

I don’t know how anybody can give this a thumbs down, if anybody knows anything about fishing is that catching a fish is not exactly why you’re there but yet it is, but it’s also about being on the water and trying to catch fish while enjoying yourself at the same time! It’s about spending time with yourself or somebody else that you enjoy spending time with like your wife or your dad or just a good friend and having fun, that’s what fishing is all about! The rest is obvious! Fishing is an incredible break from the pressures of life!

Good video 👍, simple and fun 🙂

[@MaxxHDROM]

love your vids bud

[@toddwinegar7365]

I got excited for you on that large jaw, i also would have sworn it was a smallmouth btw it fought! you are a beast sir. and remember there aint nothing like these smallmouth we have in the Tennessee river system, in my opinion that is. great video sir thank you, im sitting here watching this in mid february 2020 and it helped me make it through today, and now im one day closer to getting back on the river and hooking up with a bronze back gorilla myself, can not wait.

[@loutippey9792]

Lordy - Rain - sleet or shine you still caught beautiful small mouths and large mouths. It don't get no better than that. Good job my man.

[@kymike1340]

loved it thanks gene

[@nicolephea7158]

I love your videos Mr Richard Gene!!!!

[@jcfdff550]

You have become part of my everyday activity. Get up, drink coffee, check Emails, check my schedule, check for new Richard Gene videos, another cup of coffee and and off to work. Lol! Your the man!

[@patarmstrong1712]

Looked like a pretty bad burn. You know ole' Richard is always doing something!

[@adamsmith8533]

Batten down the hatches Richard. Stay safe!

[@dustyschwartinsky7710]

Gawlllleee Richard gene you give me a fit brother ima tell you. Love you dude

[@CaKayakFishing]

I learnt to fish into the current and not down current from this one and to not be afraid to try a light line with a finesse bait setup. Great one Richard!

[@mattmusselman5055]

I enjoy every video Richard Gene

[@ramoo6714]

I love your videos Richard. I live in Nashville and would love to come fishing with you and learn some of your knowledge about Crapie.

[@MrEazyE357]

I'm a Nashville boy myself but I've lived in Louisville for quite a while now. My Mom still lives down there though.

[@scottfoss716]

Love the videos Richard.

[@romanmoroni2785]

You're the best

[@FloridaMarlinWrangler]

Pre hurricane is the best time to catch fish

[@freddyrobinson2970]

I love your videos. I'm just like you. It don't matter how many I catch I get excited every time I hook a fish. God bless you

[@vvnn1054]

Great video RG!

[@johnburgess6572]

Great trip !!! Thanks

[@Bentley2019]

Thanks for all the great tips and videos Richard love it keep it up

[@Jesuslovesyou929]

Good morning Richard...awsome ...I love to hear that drag zoom..gives me a jolt

[@prevost8686]

That first smalljaw was really pretty.

[@jeromedwojak918]

What more can I say Richard! Another great video!!!

[@ryankiesow1418]

The zoom speed craw also works very well with this rig except I peg a very light weight about three inches from a 1/0 ewg offset hook and I tell you what if you dish it real slow and bump it on the bottom these big river smallmouth and pike here in north central indiana love em.

[@ryankiesow1418]

I use zoom speed craws in watermelon red flake btw.

[@mikebryant9493]

Absolutely love your enthusiasm and the fun you have while fishing. Thanks for another great video Richard.

[@jeffyoung2089]

That was fun!! Thanks Richard!

[@mattwatson6597]

thanks

[@billantrim2251]

Headed to Weiss again next month and pray the storms are done and over with. You’re still the best my friend. Hope the wrist ain’t too bad cause it looks rough! God bless you and yours🙏. Go Big Blue 💙

[@baysideangler9709]

Richard-I’m new again to fishing after a long hiatus! I watch your videos to learn. The retook of a plastic bait on the Texas-style was something I didn’t know. TY very much and keep up the great videos!

[@greenninja74]

Man I hadn't had a good laugh in a while. But I had to replay you fishing in the rain. 😂😂

[@RileyReneau]

"Thats a hard rain right there.... Yup."

[@tbonekelley]

Another great video Machine! Keep them coming Buddy!!!!!

Good one Richard!

Absolutely phenomenal day fishing brother congratulations 👊 loved it!!

Love the vids you and Elmo taking names and kicking bass!!!

[@the_anxiousphotographer]

"Thats a hard rain right there"......."YEP" lol Dang Richard you crack me up man Love it.

[@briang8663]

I also use the 6lb test with a Texas rigged finesse. Bank fishing under bridges usually gets me 1-2 bass in a quick 30 minute fishing session. That's all I have time for these days.

[@wacokid7030]

Great video Richard. That last bass was a beauty!

[@bobbygreen2291]

Absolutely love it them bass will pull the skin off of your wrist. Whoooooooo

[@trunks5522]

any chance you can start listing rod and reel in video descriptions since to use different setups in each video

[@roygilkey9246]

Another great great vid, keep them coming. Take care !!

[@hardtimetrucking8770]

I always Look forward to your videos. I always try the new techniques I learn from your videos and my fishing is getting better. Hello from GA.

I just want to say thank you for keeping your videos clean... Me and my 7 year old daughter love watching your videos...👍

[@zackhines2569]

AMEN to that!!!

[@chrisbrown8748]

I just can’t get enough of your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@charleshaggenmaker4522]

Love you brother....it's good too see the video been picking up a few crappie on the little creek I fish....cannot wait until there on real good so you can come and go fishing with me....your old buddy from hartselle....

[@NobodyWhatsoever]

Thanks, Richard! I'll have to put these tips to use. I've been fishing a river -- and I'll keep going back because it's gorgeous! -- where the bite is really slow. I certainly hope this makes it more interesting, where fishing for more than perch is concerned!

[@sirgoonmu77]

Simply the best.

[@prevost8686]

We’ve been getting rain every day and the hurricane is headed straight for us. They say we’re getting a FOOT of rain from it. Support make landfall late Thursday night. Pray for N.C, & S.C. Old folks that can’t get away from the storm.

[@Lair69]

Eloquent enunciation of the Species Order and Sub-Order when you found that Spotted Bass... lmao!! Always your Friend.... .... L' air.

[@fish-on1679]

Id love to go fishing with you sometime brother.

Beautiful *Video* Congrats! Have a great week and good fishing!👍🎣🐟🐠

[@FishingLakeCountry]

Good show. Just made a video last week about using light line. You can catch more fish and its just plain fun. FLC. Dennis

[@baddawg6350]

Sure wish we had smallmouth over here in middle Georgia. Use to love catchin em over on the Ozarks back in the day. Stay well my friend.

Coincidence...my favorite spinning rod is that exact H2O. It goes on my kayak every trip.

[@Jesuslovesyou929]

I'm just being selfish Richard but I would love to see you do a fishing show multi-species catching stuff all around Cedar Bluff like I said I'm just being selfish because I fish there on vacation and like I said I'm retiring there next year your videos help me so much...thanks my friend.

[@sputnick7771]

do you ever fish for crappie at night?

[@mikebryant9493]

Love the finesse fishing with light gear, those smallies can really rip you!!!

[@michaelshoffner6584]

it's myth about wind direction except maybe when a front is coming or is passing

[@lordmonkeyboy946]

I think public waters being more pressured it’s best to use finesse baits......those fish see a lot of baits......I know when I decided to downsize I actually caught more big fish besides the numbers increasing.

[@j.cjohnson6125]

That last bass was a line stripper!

[@tonymckinley8830]

Dang Richard. What happen to your wrist?

I like 4" zoom lizards on 1/8oz scrounger head

[@Legallyblindoutdoors]

What did ya do too your wrist

[@Ohdussy]

Hey Richard

[@flyflung]

Take your time indeed. I always shake my head when I see these fishing “pros” jerk the fish’s jaw half off then skate the poor thing across the water. What’s the point of all that?

[@63Bare]

They're fishing for money, not for fun. Less fight from the fish means less chance of the fish getting off the hook, entry fees are expensive. I guess it's fun if you win though.

[@flyflung]

Yeah, that was what you call a rhetorical comment.

[@vhf2582]

Is your wrist okay with the gauze wrap around it?
