Born and raised in Texas and moved to Illinois 14 years ago and was introduced to ice fishing - man, nothing like it! You need to head up north and do a hard water fishing video next winter!

[@johnmills925]

Gene, you always say thank you for watching at the end of the videos, but I'd like to say thank you for making such great videos for us to enjoy. God bless you and yours.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much for that comment John! God bless brother!

[@N6570J]

I love it Gene, you're out fishing in the cold while I'm kicking back with warm cup of coffee and enjoying every minute! You make me feel like I'm in the boat with you. :-) Keep up the great videos. (Even the slowest fishing video is 10 times better than the garbage on TV now days.)

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much Flying2low! Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@dirtlooter6180]

the yellow bass are very good eating for sure. I don't care for white bass, hybrids or stripers and for years I wrongly assumed that the yellows would taste like them. no limit on them here in Arkansas

[@Walt1119]

BBRRRRRR I remember wearing those snow mobile suits fishin when I lived up north!!!! No more of that for me, live down south now... Turned out a really great day of fishin!! I love catching all those different species!! thanks for sharing with us!

[@keithpaulmartin]

Thanks Richard! I really enjoyed that video. I think you got a total of 5 species there. Good multi species outing! I'd have kept some of those bass for eating, especially if they were out of spring water.

[@loutippey9792]

Deadgum Richard Gene you are a tuff one being out in that 20 degrees temp with a water temp of 35 degrees. And in spite of all of that you end up catching stripped bass, white bass, yellow perch, crappies and bluegills. You da man on Lake Guntersville. We got some chilly low 30 degree weather over here in Texas right now. Too cold for me to get out there.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Lou! I don't blame you a bit! I'm ready for this arctic blast to be over with!

[@bmackey4854]

[@twinstone7509]
