How To Catch BIG Panfish From The Bank! EASY Technique

[@red_ego]

I’ve been fishing since I was 8. I’m 44 now. This man helped me to actually appreciate the actual beauty of every fish I catch whether it’s big or small. For that, I thank you Richard Gene. I believe that’s what the lord set you here to do. You’re a good man. God bless you & your family.

[@TheSilverstonedwolf]

I've been fishing heavily for 3 years now almost 4. I'm 26. The beauty for me is the nature and practice of being an angler. Something we as humans have been doing since the beginning of time lol also I've learned to love rooster tails. They catch anything and everything of all sizes! So it's always a surprise for me.

[@drbuttfungus3477]

​@@TheSilverstonedwolfsame here! Been having a blast lately fishing for panfish, I put a little foam bobber and a fly wet or dry about 6 inches below it and caught about 22 bluegill and a bass casting 2 ft from the bank if not closer so fun when you get a good spot for it

[@kmay9]

Wooo

[@liv2theful]

Richard, I just finished cleaning some fine crappies I caught this morning with tricks/tips I learned watching your videos. Thank you for not trying to sell me anything. Your genuine video content is second to none.

[@JohnDoe-jc3cl]

...and thank you for not selling me anything Right!

[@n0llie]

Richard you have totally changed the way I fish for the better!! I have caught more fish (bigger also) and have had more fun fishing all from employing methods you share with us in your videos. Simplicity is absolutely the way to go! I look forward to every upload of yours! Thank you.

[@danielcoblentz2500]

Good video Richard! And I applaud you for loving the Lord! I too love the Lord first, family second and fishing after that. Keep up the good work, brother!

[@kaevekplays1903]

When we going to get some catch clean and cooks with Momma Sue? I think we'd all love that

[@bradalden8347]

I was thinking the same thing. Some flower and hot grease

[@TacticalTuber]

Yes great idea. Cornmeal and hushpuppys

[@ncfisherman2782]

I’d love to see that, momma Sue seems awesome! Her and Richard in the kitchen showing us how to cook all these fish he’s teaching us to catch lol

[@Trump-sd5nu]

Well if we keep asking he won't be able to ignore us for long right😂?

[@ncfisherman2782]

[@michaelthomas9992]

Richard, you are a true gentleman. And maybe the best fisherman I’ve ever seen. I love your sense of humor and yoru love and respect of nature. God bless you brother.

[@thejeremymotley]

I started fishing on April 1 2020 and I must say nearly everything I've learned I owe to Richard Gene. Keep up the good work, and never stop enjoying panfishing!

You learned from a good teacher. I have been fishing for over 25 years and still learn tips from Richard!

Richard, I would just like to say I love your videos.

Richard, God bless you! You've become a household name in the fishing world. Take a bow. You've taught all of us.... A thing or two. Richard, you are a man... Well, second to none.

[@bigdoggstatus99]

Loving all you do for a sport that's second to none. Tell Elmo to quit eating all the bait!!!

[@carlos_vela4]

Mr. Gene, first and foremost, a BIG thank you for the educational fishing videos you produce. I have learned a TON by watching you. It would be an honor to cross paths one of these days while fishing as I too live near Guntersville. God Bless you and your family always Sir!!!

[@shanemabe6735]

Hey Richard Shane here. The wife and I are moving from Florida back to our home town in NC and I cant wait to get back to the fresh waters. I have gain so much knowledge about my favorite species the crappie from your videos. I also get cracked up with the woo factor and Elmo. Keep it going brother. Love the content.

[@jeffpolles7569]

Gene I have been watching this channel ‘bout as long long as my Granddad gave me a cane pole in South Georgia. (Well not that long but log enough to know you are the real deal. I can’t use my new boat anymore because of dementia, but I ‘spec I can learn to shore fish. Thanks, Sir I appreciate it, Jeff

My first Comment..Been watching you for over a year now watched all your video! Great person alot in common with myself!! Same type of personality..love your quotes and would really like to fish with you someday! Thank you for being you!

[@Reynoldss3]

That’s a great tip on putting a piece of a rubber band in the small split shot to keep it from sliding up and down the line. Keep on proving superb entertainment and lessons to catch fish.

[@prestonhill4496]

I have back surgery in the morning and this video just cheered me up. God Bless you Mr Gene you're a legend.

[@brian9670]

[@prestonhill4496]

@@brian9670 Thank you very much. I've been paranoid all week. It's scary enough by itself and the times we're in now makes it more stressful.

Always gotta stop what I’m doing to watch The Machine. Great video, Richard. We love you too!

There’s nobody else I would watch catching panfish with rapt attention, but the fishing machine!!! Don’t know how but you make it all so enjoyable, thank you.

[@jeffparvin1833]

ive been fishing a long time you are the best, you have shown me things that i never knew about or had forgotten.

[@JoeLeeBush]

I really enjoy your videos. You're more like the "normal" fisherman instead of those big time tournament pros (I find them boring). My comment concerns my fears of those rocks along the rip-rip (I have to fish them from a boat). I'd love to walk those rocks like you do, but I am elderly (82) and one slip up on those rocks and it could be all over for me, with broken ribs, hip, leg, you name it. I admire your agility at being able to traverse those rocks. AND I just love your videos....GREAT STUFF! I watch them over and over. Keep it up, my man..!!!

[@bobtowle9975]

God bless you Richard Gene!!! Thank you for all you do! You make my days better!

[@mauricecarvin430]

Glad you did a bluegill one. I been having trouble hooking them, think I need a light rod and to be quicker lol thanks for the upload

I've watched a lot of fishin videos, but RGTFM fishin videos are second to none. Keep the videos coming, and God bless you to.

Nothing I like better than catching good shell crackers and gills! Thank you for an excellent video Richard!

[@brandondechausse4770]

Man watching your videos tonight are really hitting home for me. You remind me alot of my uncle, a very knowledgeable southern man. He taught me almost everything I know about hunting and fishing. A few days ago we found out he has brain cancer and today we found out he has a few weeks left here and there isnt anything they can do.... so everytime I watch one of your videos it will make me think of him. God bless and thanks for the great videos

Yup, its my it's my primary setup too with an Okuma Avenger. Like you said it's great for bushwhacking and its easy to cast with overhanging trees and very easy to cast side arm too.

[@rickprice407]

Always wondered about the 2 lb line choice. I usually fish farm ponds where a bluegill trip can easily become a 5 lb largemouth on the end of the line trip. I usually load up with an 8 - 10 lb braid and a 6 - 8 lb fluro leader on my light lines. My bass/catish stuff is much heavier.

HET RICHARD! IM NEW TO YOUR CHANNEL AND REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS. YOU HAVE A GREAT PERSONAITY AND REALLY TEACH ALOT. IVE MOSTLY BREAM FISHED WITH MY GRANDPA HERE LATELY. WERE CATCHING A MESS FOR BIG FAMILY FISH FRY WERE GOING TO HAVE SOON. WE HAVE CAUGHT OVER 120 BREAM ALREADY PLUS SOME BASS THAT WERE FEEDING ON THE SCHOOLS. IVE REALLY ENJOYED LEARNING FROM YOU HOW TO CATCH DIFFERENT SPECIE OF FISH(CATFISH BASS CRAPPIE) WE LOVE YOU DOWN HERE IN GEORGIA. I COMPLETELY AGREE THAT WE SHOULD GO FISHING WHEN WE CAN BC ITS GOOD FOR US. ITS SO PEACEFUL TO SPEND QUALITY TIME ON GODS BEAUTIFUL LAKES PONDS AND RIVERS WITH FAMILY. HOPING TO GO CATFISHING WITH MY OTHER GRANDPA SOON. GOD BLESS YOU RICHARD

[@destincastaneda8180]

ALSO WE GOT INTO A MESS OF BLUE GILL AND AS YOU KNOW THEY FIGHT REAL GOOD. I THOUGHT THATS WHAT WAS ON MY LINE ONE TIME I WAS REELING IN AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A BIG OL LARGE MOUTH. WHEN I GOT IT CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE BOAT AND IT SEEN US IT 180d And came off. but I had him hooked with a little break hook witch really amazed me, and that's because I have just got back into fishing and didn't think a fish with that size mouth would get hooked with such a small hook anyway. It's good to talk fishin. God bless Richard love you!

Hey richard, Great video as usual i enjoy your fishing adventures. I used to have issues with split shot sinkers sliding. But one day i realized a simple way to keep them from ever sliding again and barely crimping them so i can reuse them. I just simply loop around the split shot slot twice with the line and gently squeeze the shot closed. They never slide again because they are trapped in the loop and are way easier to open and reuse the shots.
