"Looky ther wut-a feesh!". I look forward to hearing that every video. I absolutely love this guy!

[@josephberreth5705]

12-26-23 I have never fished crawfish using the rubber band method. Thanks for sharing your techniques. I really enjoy your program and try to watch everything you produce.

[@dennistidwell7188]

I learn just as much on these older vids as I do on the newer ones. Love the spotted bass catches, a man after my own heart....

Back to my favorite channel along with TyPigPatrol this is the best fishing channel on KZbin.

[@jd8745]

For sure! Keep it real!

[@randywilson2919]

The Machine is making fishing great again.

[@andrewcarpino1838]

wow I have never ever seen somebody use an elastic and hook to that to keep the bait alive, that's amazing 👏

[@dougatchison2915]

You sir, are THE BEST. That's all that needs to be said!

[@hankarnold5947]

Was just under that bridge the day before you fished there but had no luck. I gotta try the live crawfish for sure

[@hard2getitrightagain314]

I'd have been pinched 10 times before I got that first rubber band around that mudpuppy! You are fearless.

[@dcast1985]

Me and my daughter caught us some crawfish in the front yard this morning and we are going to try this technique in the morning! Love it

[@matthighlifeful]

Love the vintage reels sir!

[@jonahlawrence2797]

Great video Richard thanks again Richard I'll be watching your next video because it's good for me can't get enough

[@fcbrc]

Nice job on the video!. You make me feel like I'm fishing right beside you. Informative, gentlemanly, polite and genuinely positive outlook on life! Good for you! I never miss your videos and really appreciate the effort you put into your work. Tight lounges and good luck to you sir

[@mannyvenegas7601]

It's Awesome how you give your fish a nice release and not just throwing them back out there like a piece of trash. Like so many others do.

[@ctford27]

Mr. Gene it is a pleasure to watch you work sir!

[@lordmonkeyboy946]

I love my Sam’s Super Sensitive rods from B&M but I want that first rod I can tell it’s right up my alley.....great action for my type of fishing.

[@chrisbrown8748]

Yet another great video that showed me a few tricks I wouldn’t have otherwise learned. Thank you for uploading these videos and sharing with us all.

[@gabelumby8206]

" Whadda feesh!" Another great video. You're the best on KZbin in my opinion. Thanks for the videos!

[@ut000bs]

I'd be dishonest if I didn't agree. There's a lot of good ones, too!

[@RadReelingFishing]

There's a lot to learn from Richard for sure.

[@jimbigboystoys4077]

I like that little rubber band trick. Wish I had thought of it. I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@loutippey9792]

Mr. Richard Gene, another good trip using live crawfish. It's amazing how those spots pull. They are a strong fish for sure. They fight like a small mouth bass. Smaller, quicker, stronger than most large mouths. Hated to see that 11 footer break at the handle. tnxs fo the video.

[@stevesomerson5084]

Gene, you keep getting better. Just a real guy who has a lot of hours on the water Keep cranking out the vids and the fish

[@pacomurillo2939]

Another great video. Thank you for your time and knowledge.

[@Mr40tt]

Nice! We feel about the same way about fishing. If I never got hooked once in a while, line tangles, wet and muddy, or had to figure ways to get my fishing poles back out of the water from a pole thief, it would mean that I was not fishing. Just to get out, is a realized blessing for me. Thank You for you videos. Captain Carpman

[@filipefurtado8073]

I already subscribe a ton of fishing channels and I really don't wanna get anymore. But, man couple of minutes seeing this guy and I had to. Keep on man, great channel

[@slapshifter4206]

I like that you respected the fish in didn’t wanna throw it in from such a height

[@wayneellis1565]

I love it when I can learn. Thank you!!!

[@angielamanno7205]

I like the way you thanked the fish. A true sportsman.

[@traviswheeler2798]

Awesome as always Machine!!

[@Richhatfield9568]

well you was spot on with them live crawlfish and it got large at the end of a great video...good stuff ...

[@austinherod4131]

I enjoy watching your videos and I also live in North Alabama

[@lukew9357]

I love that tip with the rubber bands!

[@jaci7140]

I fish a little south of you on the coosa river! Mostly bass fishing and I don't normally fish with live bait but watching you use live bait helps alot! Match the hatch right!

[@snuggalufagusjambuddy7303]

R.G.T.F.M Thanks for the Tips and Techniques, Fishin with Crawdad! God bless!

[@willievalentine7661]

U helped me so much Richard. I appreciate the tips and at 44 yes old I'm learning that fishin iz gud fur ya... much love from Michigan 💯

[@monstertrophyhunters898]

The biggest crappie I have ever got was on a big Crawdad when I was cat fishing.

[@mikebryant9493]

Love the way you hook up those crawdads Richard, looks like it works really well. Another great tip! Thanks

[@jaci7140]

Awesome video! I love watching your videos!

[@piercem56]

Great video! I have 5 acres full of crawdad holes they will soon be fish food!

[@jeromedwojak918]

Wonderful vid Richard, keep up the good work!

[@paneofrealitychannel8204]

I am really enjoying these.

[@mikebryant9493]

Great job today Richard, love watching, thank you!

[@jamesdurham9182]

Left a note on your truck the other day at the boat ramp. No video from Tuesday? You have the best channel on KZbin!!!

[@gahillbilly6566]

Still love your videos.. I love when you fish with live crawfish

[@temikalomas]

lol... I used leftover cooked crawfish (just the peeled tails) as bait for the first time last month. I was shocked that I caught so many catfish. I will definitely try the live ones next time. Enjoying your video so far.

[@jamiehayslip8659]

Awesome video, great fisherman!

[@mikebryant9493]

Real pretty fish, they look so healthy!

[@dexterjackson8273]

Love your arsenal of tackle

[@GuntersvilleLakeFishing]

Another great vid from the legend!

[@jaybodizzledizzle2409]

Wish your videos where longer.... Great video Richard

[@chrisnunnelley3417]

Another great video Richard 👍👍👍👍

[@youngun1978]

Hi Richard Gene The Fishing Machine, I hope you and your family are doing good. I was wondering how you take the one pincher off the claw?

[@ynotcougar]

I love the cardinal 4 reels thats' what I use mainly. The 1st Cardinals, built in Sweden, not the ones built afterwards in Germany. The cardinal 3 is also an excellent reel, great for those paper mouths, (Crappie). About the only problems I have ever had with either is the bail springs. When you picked up that reel Richard, I knew what it was immediately, and just as quickly subscribed. Good luck and good Fishing.

[@peterrivera5235]

Great teacher wish I could go with but lessons taken thank you

[@jw-k5663]

The way that 11 footer was bending all the way down to the grip on the fight sorta made me think it looked like a long trolling rod. I see a lot of walleye trolling setups like that at around 9 ft long.

[@dustinwise3135]

Great video...made my day...gonna try that technique next time I can go...LOVE IT...God bless

[@williamjenkins3720]

Machine is da MAN!

[@raymondfrancoeur5544]

Great info old man

[@phil3038]

Like your use of rubber bands, such a great idea, gonna try this when I'm livebaiting with small trout for Pike, makes sense both from a fishing point of view keeping the bait active for longer, and also a little less cruel for the unlucky bait fish! Found you in my search as the lake I'm fishing has been overrun by signal crayfish, my target fish is Carp and wondered if you have caught carp using live crayfish?

[@bobcrappies]

You’ve got er going on I have to say for now!!!!!!🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

[@justinthomasfishing181]

Another good-en keep them coming 👍

_Incredible fishing for angler congratulations._ 👍🎣🐠🐟 _Similar to fishing here in Brazil._ *HUG!*

[@charlesridder3134]

Great video Mr Richard

[@Eric_Cleckler]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who likes the video before I watch it....

[@patarmstrong1712]

"And Remember... Use live bait when you can"

[@dannyr6578]

[@100catfishing7]

Nice going Richard!

[@bretthompson22]

You amaze me my Friend! 😀😀

[@tracymeadows3442]

Great catches brother 👊🏻

[@mc2000Gmc]

Great show brother 👍👍

[@corndogfishing451]

Very nice rod and reel 👍🏻

[@chasehall8691]

I absolutely love your videos Richard Gene! Some day you’ll have to have me out for a fishing trip.

[@TheMinimalistFisherman]

I've learned so much from your channel. Thank you for sharing, and for taking the time to put these videos together. I need to catch a spot...

[@jamaalmcintyre7283]

Great tip Richard

[@karimlours]

Love it. Can’t wait to try it and catch my first Bass. Thank you sir for the very informative video.

[@mikebryant9493]

My goodness Richard, broke your rod!!! Tough one!!!

[@josejulian3993]

Great video

[@randywilson6869]

I just bought a Garcia Mitchell 300 in perfect shape for 2:00 bucks at a auction

[@stevew7112]

You are still the man!

[@JDF1257]

I always look forward to seeing your vids. I've learned more from watching you than I ever did on my own. TGBTG (To God Be The Glory) Your one cool dude, Richard. Keep up the good work.

[@mikebryant9493]

Love my ACC Crappie sticks, they’re the best!

[@rumcoke9123]

Amazing video. I caught some crayfish yday and tried. No success. Caught 2 on plastic worms, one 4 pounder ( smallmouth )...will try rubber band next time. Do you have more success with plastic worms or live crayfish? Also do you use any leaded weights? Thnaks

[@jeffyoung2089]

Thanks Richard!

[@lordmonkeyboy946]

I commented too soon........I like that first and third rod.....lol

[@edwardmueller9005]

Looks like you are at Weiss up from the nursery. If so, that is a good bass fishin hole!

[@beebob1279]

We have a lake in upstate Pennsylvania that was strictly trout. There were a pile of crawfish. You could see them in daylight just walking around at the boat launch. Someone or a group illegally put in smallmouth bass. If I go there now there isn't a crawfish to be found. I'm sure there are still some under rocks, but nothing like it was. Like how you set up the hook on the crawfish. If the rubber band breaks the crawfish can go free and unhurt.

[@ztemde978]

Great info, I was wondering if that 11’ rod was going to hold up. I hate that it broke on ya had a rod break on for the first time this past summer. Thanks again for the amazing content and sportsmanship.

[@raptr2005]

Richard, can you do a video on how to set a drag on a reel please sir?

[@troyfish8165]

Hey gene is there a size on the rubber band ??? Cool method.

[@ScottyhillakaFishn4Him]

It’s the challenge of fishing that makes it ok!!! Love it brother!!!! You ought to consider coming to the catfish conference in Louisville in February!!

[@billsutorius2753]

WOO.... NICE 👍 🎣 🇺🇸

[@SlorideI20]

Those Spotted Bass are beauties Gene. I just recently learned to appreciate them. They eat pretty good too don't they?

[@OscarRodriguez-ln2om]

What if you don’t have the rubber band, from where do you hook the crawfish 🦞?

[@willieb19]

Hi RG! Awesome video as always but I wondered how you know that some bass clip off a crawdad's pincers and how they orient the crawfish or turn it in their mouth?

[@wynncreations]

Every time your video ends my 1 year old starts dancing to your outro. Its the best.

[@Timothy57]

Glad you got to catch a Bass on that rod before it broke!

[@jessejohnson9390]

great video! learned alot!

[@jcfdff550]

Richard I need schooled in fall crappie fishing. The lake I fish drops low in the winter and they are hard to pattern. Could you do a video or two about the basics of everything I need to know about fall crappie fishing. The lake is already at winter levels. Ive watched all your videos and have learned a lot but I would love a start to finish, coverall the basics of fall crappie fishing. And later on a winter series. Maybe you could make a series for each season and different ways to catch them. Please help cause I feel like I'm doing it wrong

[@jewelhodges7484]

'll

[@stevanrose7439]

I was fishing 🎣 in Wisconsin one time and my rod broke on a cast and thank goodness the rod floated so I was able to get my tackle and reel back. The guy I was fishing with thought I threw my pole in and was laughing at me till he realized what happened. And to this day I don’t buy cheap rods or ones that don’t go through the Handle.
