THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!

[@1stMSDAD]

Richard, my name is Gary Keith, I'm a 72 year old 100% disabled Marine Corps Ground Combat Veteran from the Vietnam war. My father(Kenneth Keith) and grandfather(Charles Bledsoe Keith) were from Scottsboro Alabama and built dams all over the Southeast working for the TVA. I live up in the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas now. I have no real hobbies and have bouts with PTSD and Depression. I do have a pond full of all kinds of the fish you catch in your videos. I've never paid any attention to that until I started watching your show. I am totally emersed in your videos and have learned so much from you. Like how to tie a Loop Knot and all about jigs and how to use them. I have invested some money into fishing tackle and my first outing I caught a nice crappie, but like yourself I put him back. Then I spent the next 30 minutes trying to get the fishing line through the tiny eyelet on another color jig head. Today I went out and caught 5 fish 4 crappie and 1 bass. Richard, you are right, "it's goo9d for me". Each day my problems and worries seem to disappear and I love the excitment I feel just wettin a line. Thank you ever so much you are doing a fine Service to the community and I thank you for that. My wife has Alzheimers and I find myself ruminating on that situation a lot. Fishing has changed my life and I hope I never stop. All thoughts of suicide have subsided. I think I'm gonna make it. Just wanted you to know you and you wonderful attitude, zaniness, and compassion are very appreciated. I love it when you let them go and only take what you need. Keep on trucking and I'll be looking for your next video. God Bless and keep you and Lisa who is an amazingly tolerant and generous woman. Please tell my story to ol Elmo so maybe he will get his arse off the couch and we can see him in your videos(wink). You are the best crazy man I've never met and I've met some real ringers. Take care and stay safe Richard. Semper Fi, Sargent William Gary Keith USMC 1965- 1971. Peace be with you.

If you ever get that low and depressed to siucide again send a shout out well go fishing lost a few to it over the ye a rs and I always wish they had called and we had gone fishing instead of that I would drop everything to get a chance to go tha jk you richard for keeping usmon the water each day

[@bigal1419]

Thank you for your service sir, carry on and fish on with Richard Gene the Fishing Machine!

[@amieengland2437]

Bless you Sir and prayers for your wife and yourself. I have a terrible time with depression and anxiety and panic disorder it’s terrible. Some daysI don’t even feel like getting out of the bed. But most days I want to go fishing and take my 8 year old little girl with me. Her name is Emma. She loves helping mommy let em go and put them back in the water. She fishes too but since she’s getting a little older she don’t seem as interested in it. But she will get back into it I know for sure. My husband works all the time and we go fishing when we can as Richard would say. But I’m usually either fishing by myself or with my daughter or my best friend Nancy. I LOVE FISHING!!! God Bless you for your service Sir!! Keep on fishin!!!! ❤️🎣

[@calebmills5365]

God Bless You, Sir. Thank you for your service in the USMC.

[@AMpufnstuf]

Glad to hear fishing is helping you, I make sure to get out and fish every time my head gets racing too, calms things down quickly and with a little luck it provides a meal.

[@jivinmiles6352]

What id give to just sit around on a boat talking to these guys all day. Pure southern souls.

[@dougalexander7204]

RGTFM much respect. Woodrow, next door in the trailer park, comes over in the evenings after supper and we watch your channel on the plasma big screen. He said that Elmo didn’t go fishing today cause he was installing a trap door in his canoe...

[@zachstromske8573]

Those gills are prehistoric! Unreal! Tell Burr we appreciate him hanging out too.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎣

[@ut000bs]

I love these bluegill videos, Richard. I used to have so much fun catching em on ultralight tackle. Like you say, getting down in there with em with light tackle is some of the most fun and excitement you can have, my friend. Be sure to thank Burr for coming along on this fishing trip with us!

[@fisherman1088]

automatic fish feeder on shore, and a brush pile strategically placed! no surprise your catching'em

[@NEAWD]

Glad you’re throwing some back. We need to start taking care of our fisheries and preserving them for future generations.

[@ut000bs]

Richard, your channel is the only channel I've ever turned on notifications for and I've been here since 2006. That's what I think of your videos, brother. You can sign me, a transplanted East Tennessean in the wilds of Puget Sound. (Go Big Orange!) ;) Thanks a lot, Richard.

[@chrystalbrown4662]

My right arm and wrist are weak from catching and wrestling with so many big bream over the past 3 or 4 weeks. I need to find me some good jigs for catching bream. Thanks for sharing!!

[@timparker1552]

Go squirrel hunting and use the fur to make squirrel tail jigs they really work!! At least here in AL they do

[@ehowardjr]

Chrystal..... what city are you in and where do you fish? I love fishing for big bream.

[@hunterman600cc]

Love the genuine enthusiasm you show in the boat. Broke my pb this weekend. Had 'gills slamming a original rapala floater... Never had that happen before...

[@jeffreygarbade8070]

Burr seems like a good fishing buddy. Nice fish!

[@ecrusch]

I sure wish our pond here in Kissimmee Florida had Bluegills in it. I love catching those things, and I ALWAYS pick up a tip or two from watching your channel Richard Gene. Thank you so much.

[@jonathanhardiman6842]

Nothing more fun than a beautiful day on the water catching some really nice bluegill. Probably my favorite species to catch.

[@ytharper66]

Where are y’all!? I know, I know. Fishermen never tell. I’d like to see bream fishing in the spring like this in a stream/river. We’ve always used live bait, but I’m interested in using light tackle and a jig. You are the best fishing guide in Alabama, bar none! .

[@rafael661kc]

This man needs to be in the hundreds of thousands with subs

[@michaelpacini1332]

Dang ! Those are some beautiful fish . Enjoyed watching you and Bur catching them . Also that was a nice looking boat

[@elmojenkins6333]

I used to go to a private pond that had these very great fish just giant big bluegill but fight really hard like crappie I enjoy catching them also great show guys

[@almarkham3470]

Good day and what a great partner you had on the water! Fish are biting and were feeling good...…….. :)

[@catfishassassination3821]

There aint nothing like some good bluegill fishing

[@CalvinJoubertFishing]

Lovely I can't wait till I get my boat ready. Panfish time. Awesome vid

[@bubbahouck9290]

Good video love catching bluegill and shellcrackers never have I caught a coppernose

[@bassnazi4713]

They are becoming fairly common now. The strain originated down in Florida I believe, but they are one of the primary ones that are used to stock many waters now. Just happened to be a more aggressive feeding variety of a regular gill.

[@hgherb]

When I get old I wanna be like ya’ll. 😊 you guys living the life..🤙🏼

[@RaymondBCrisp]

I couldn't have resisted keeping a dozen of those monsters to have for dinner. Such good eatin'!

[@kevinpeters9867]

Those are trophy gill here in my parts of ohio. Good fishin, good video. Tight lines richard!

[@theresacook964]

you boys make fishing look so much fun but you really should make Elmo go with you we are in Indiana and we have learned a lot from you thank you for being on you tube

[@MrCarlosd70]

Those were some of the biggest gills I’ve seen. Great video Mean Gene!!

[@alphonsograves9604]

Gene you are the best, Keep on fishing.....

[@H0Ly-cHeT]

As always you are the man Richard.. Great Vid..

[@chrisnunnelley3417]

Great video Elmo would have love being there. Look like yall had a great time. 👍👍👍👍

[@alhughes2203]

Mr. Machine, I am envious of you and all the fish you catch! One day I want you to come to Weiss and teach me a thing or two!

[@Bad_Batch_65]

First time I'm seeing your channel Richard... DAMN good job man ! Had a lot 'o fun watching you guys fish. Thanks Man

[@jonahlawrence2797]

Great video Richard thanks again Richard I'll be watching your next video because it's good for me

[@langston_8523]

I really enjoy watching your videos man keep up the good work

[@scottduncan2429]

I’m a new subscriber and brother I love your spirit and how much you love fishing. You remind my of myself except you have funnier catch phrases. Keep up the awesome videos because I really enjoy watching!

[@jtfishingadventures896]

Wow! Now that’s some catchin ! Good one Richard!!

[@cutbaitkenny]

I need to move to alabama , looks like you have so many kinds of fishing and so many places to fish. Hey I tried your dental floss hack today coupled with matching jig color to water conditions, brother you know your stuff, I bet me and my 7 year old grandson caught 50 fish out of a local pond in just a couple hours. Thanks again for the effort you put into making these great videos.

[@prevost8686]

That’s a great place to do some spring top water lures for bream. Those pigs really blow up on a popping bug.

[@robertgriffin3406]

Where is this lake ?

[@rodneyharris3265]

How in the world can people not like these videos?!! Woooo!

[@oldmcdonald9582]

great vid gene.l like ol burr. he seems like a good dude

[@codybrooks8333]

Ive never felt a level of jealousy like i do watching this!

[@corkyvanderhaven3391]

The good kinD

[@1stMSDAD]

I understand

[@fishingthedream7386]

Right there with you, one day we’ll get there!

[@rick850angler6]

Nice man really enjoyed the video those cooper nose was big and looked fun to catch save some for me and tell ole berr... Nice job.....And remember go fishen when ya can cause its goooood...fur ya..! Thanks

[@outdoorsaddiction1085]

I like it that you let us know what you’re using, Rod, Reel, Line and Bait. Awesome Vid Sr.

[@stevenmartin4061]

Good fish there bud.Elmo take care of dirty laundry.Keep up good videos.

[@outdoorswithwaynek7966]

Great video Richard Gene they look alot like Bluegills.

[@TheXChapter]

I wonder why Gene doesn't have more than 26,000 subs! He should have atleast 100,000 by now. Atleast, maybe i think that way cuz I think he's awesome!

[@ut000bs]

I agree with you. I've been YouTubing for 12 years and I've found a lot of really good fishing channels but I've never come across one that resonates like this one. The way he describes everything he's doing is, in my opinion, absolute top notch. There are other channels out there where you don't even know what they're fishing with. This is the first and only channel I've ever turned on notifications for. Richard's demeanor and style take me back to how I fished growing up in East Tennessee. He could've easily been part of our little fishing group. He would've fit right in. I respect and like the man a lot. I think he's certainly shown he deserves it. Long story, short; his channel is impressive. Others thinking about a start posting videos about this or that should take note of how he pulls viewers into his fishing trip by making sure you know exactly what he's doing so you can follow right along and maybe learn a few things. :)

[@450jgh]

He ain't trying to sell you a bunch of junk like all the "pros" he's a better fisherman than most of em too!

[@bamaghost4199]

Now here is 2 highly intelligent subscribers to the youtube world. Ill say its the way of this country. Cant be anything but Country Bumpkins being raised here in Bama!!!! Lmao. Mr Richard, I'm sitting record Straight right now. Dang how many subscribers you have. Crappie and Brim fishing should be a sport. Because of the footage you've graced us with. On such a beautiful fish to catch and eat. Sweet Meat. Mymy

[@micahayahben-yahawadahben-8556]

Devin, I think that everyone who looks at Gene's videos should subscribe. Richard is just that awesome.

[@micahayahben-yahawadahben-8556]

Devin, I think that everyone who looks at Gene's videos should

[@frank98450]

Nice stuff Richard Gene. Ever thought about tying a jig using Elmo's nose hairs? I'm thinking that would be good fer all of us!

[@krisbeedle2818]

I really enjoy your videos, thank you

[@MightyMattj]

Hello Richard I fish in guntersville as well and I've watched a lot of your videos on fishing the river for crappie bass etc. I wanted to know what's a good set up for using live crawfish , I mainly fish from the shore by the feedmill under the bridge , but if you know please let me.know , and is it possible sir if you could make a video on using live crawfish, thank you have a blessed day never stop fishing.

[@jerryhall2687]

He has video on how to use crawfish check his old videos

[@MightyMattj]

Jerry Hall actually I ran across them.last night I was looking at a load of his videos and 2 came up, now I won't waste so many crawfish and thank you sir

Great Video Congrats, Success *Fishing!* 👍🎣🐠

[@__tinygacha324]

Really enjoyed this video watched everyone up to this point I'm about one month

[@javiereguia1195]

Yes sir love the fishing vibe.

[@garrettbrown1915]

Love your fishing vids

[@ericdavis9210]

I caught 18 big bulls last weekend! Bluegill are so tasty!

[@RayMacksKitchenandGrill]

Great fishing my friend...

[@blancosfamilyfarm1798]

Dag gone!! Never thought I'd catch ol ray mack watching Mr Richard gene 🤔 lol good looks bro!! Bless you my friend an hope you have a great day

[@Bait2Bend]

Great video love the bluegill.

[@SAVAGE308SNIPER]

Excellent water. Nice fish.

[@annmariezarzecki5787]

Hi Mr. Gene...could you focus a bit more in the jigs you use? My husband and I have been using your techniques and slaying the fish at our inland lakes here in Michigan. You are awesome!

[@ironmen23]

I think its more about the depth and techniques he uses than the actual Jig. He has helped me catch more fish as well. Good luck to you and your husband AnnMarie

[@randywalentoski551]

Great video!!!Nice fish!!

[@jeffmcgrath2202]

Great video machine!

[@amieengland2437]

Wow what some bluegill!!! Love ittttt!! I’m still trying to get caught up on the videos I’ve watched the newest videos and lots and lots of them but I still have a lot to watch lol

[@pikeevans8559]

Beautiful fish.

[@jivinmiles6352]

First video I’ve seen. Subscribed 2 minutes in

[@adamsmith8533]

Good job fellas. We call those bullgills.

[@mc2000Gmc]

Great show Mean Gene

[@CoachWillMoore]

Thanks for sharing! Great video

[@willobrien4273]

If you don't have any merch you should make some t shirts that say "such a purdy fish"

[@traviswheeler2798]

Wow! Great video!!

[@KayakFishing44]

Awesome video guys!

[@dennisfox935]

Nice catch, nice boat too.I have one just like it color and all.

[@Jesuslovesyou929]

Awesome video again friend

[@DieterMelhorn]

Ok Richard Gene, I just show two bluegill fishing videos that I will have up over the next couple of weeks. Y'all were on some big, a lot bigger than mine! All of mine are being used for catfish bait in my catfish videos....LOL!! Yes, you got a shoutout in one of them on your jig fishing ability....I cheated and used red worms....hehehehehe!

[@Hueso951]

Dieter Melhorn Fishing lol where I live the bluegill are so tiny compared to these ones as week along with the crappies

[@thebutcherjack5555]

Love fishing cause Its good for me! Going out on the boat on my first fishing trip of 2019 bluegill fishing and crappie fishing March 6th and 7th here at Lake Fisher In Kannapolis N.C. Trying a small bullet weight and a small barrel leaving 3 1-2 ft. to a regular weightless hook using tiny bugs and tiny twist tails!! Do you think that this will work for catching bluegills? Havent tried this. I know I will be able to cast farther down the sides of the banks from the boat!

[@bigrooster6893]

Coppernose bluegill are very nice the only negative thing about them is they’re only going to get around 2 lbs max when common bluegill can grow over 3 lbs in a pond.

[@mikefrank4880]

Awesome! Love the videos !

[@richardherrington2852]

Since I have not seen another boat on the whole lake while watching this video, I assume you are therefore fishing on a private lake. No wonder the fishing is this great. Probably very few people get to fish on this lake.

[@johnmartin6140]

Richard.....I`ve seen all your videos.....You need to fish with Burr more often....this is great ! Is this lake Guntersville ?

[@Beav8172]

Great video Richard! Thanks to ol' Bur for letting us tag along!

[@johnwilliamson2276]

I liked your video and sure liked the fact that you didn't have any stupid music in this video! Thanks!! I subscribed.

[@miabellagsd]

went crappie fishing under a bridge this morning using electric chicken jigs. I bet we caught 40 in a couple hours..but they weren't even 5 inches..still fun..i had elmos luck today.

[@bigbluetruck3464]

I really like this guy and starting to use jigs more to catch pan fish..

[@lukepotter9041]

I catch bluegills up north. I have no accent, but love the gills

[@theoisaac3564]

Enjoy fellas

[@laurabloodworth868]

OMGosh! Huge fish! Whoo!!

[@jerrysurratt8510]

That's good stuff right there!

[@michaelrogers8912]

You two fish very good together 👍

[@WilliamSmith-ty5rt]

All I can say is wow!

[@BillyBFishing]

What a beautiful champion bass boat

[@UnknownUnitW10]

I'd love to see you fish this spot again with one of those telescopic pen rods.

[@darkquaesar2460]

i love the way he says fish and gaw lee

[@tcat3315]

Pains me to see all them sammiches swim off 🤤🤤🤤

[@wpgordone352]

YOU GOT DAT RITE AIRR , BURR !!! That Dang ELMO done missed out on another day of fine fishn ! Dad Gum !! You can't git him or ELMER either one in da boat wiff ye !! All he's fit fur is fightin wiff his wyff and pullin out dem ole long knarly nose hairs !!! But now ain't dem coppernose bluegills native to Florida or is dat some hybrid sunfish of sum variety ??? Dat wuz a fine battlewagon yall wuz fishn out of today my friend !! And sum shonuff whopper gills too !! GOLLY BUM !!

[@Emptypockets51]

Go fishin' when ya can--- because its goooooood for ya! That's a fact.

[@bosaldahutc8615]

Just makes me feeeeellllll good!!!!

[@sammyvh11]

I've caught many species of fish in the USA but the Bluegill oz per oz is the most fighting fish for its size. Imagine a 10lb Gill??? Omg

[@SmokeDogNY420]

I always think that about small fish that fight hard, it'd be crazy wouldn't it

[@jmleonard2334]

Makes for a good day...

[@mikeabbott9748]

Richard the fishing machine I notice You always check the drag before You fish.

[@mattwatson6597]

thanks

[@ghetinknotabush8602]

An exclusionary zone exists on the bank at every camera angle. I cannot help but ponder on the water, as well. A public access area holding fish that size would be hard, if not impossible, to maintain. GREAT fishn, tho, yall!

[@ihateyoujody2369]

Where can we get those little grubs y’all were using ?!

[@germansmith3291]

The lake you are fishing is so beautiful. Where is it?

[@corkyvanderhaven3391]

Nice try. 😉
