I've Hooked Something MASSIVE Under My Boat!

[@richardlongfellow7681]

I'm 49 years old, fished and watched fisherman all my life, and I have to say sir, love your videos. You are my favorite fisherman of all time.

[@tryme4990]

He's a legend in my eyes

[@marciasellers1967]

I want to thank you, Richard Gene! Catching Crappie was on my list of things to learn how to do. I found you a year ago and watched all of your videos. My hubby and I finally began catching Crappie last spring. We missed the spawn but got em after and continued to catch em. We went on a 3 day fish in the Savannah River and nailed it! You taught me water temps and depths and where to find em. We filled our boat with slabs every day and stocked our freezer for the year and a friend's freezer. It was great fun! Thank you again!

[@JohnGWilson]

You should have a drawing and let one of us fish with you for a day... Woo. woo. Woo... WOOO.

[@lackey2447]

That's would be awesome

[@THEDEUCE.GOESFISHING]

I second this 😊

[@shawnhall9560]

Third

[@JugginMikeBoozer]

I'd give a whole paycheck to go fishin' with Elmo n' dem.

[@farmraisedgiants9039]

I have always wanted to ask him myself...

[@landonmurph9501]

This has got to be the most fun to watch fishing channel on KZbin god bless you Richard gene a true living legend

[@xcalibre222]

Hi Richard, If you put a hunk of rubber about 1/4" thick under that trolling motor it should cut down the vibration that's being transfered to to boat. Thanks for the Vids!

[@anthonyezell2073]

Windier than a sac full of farts.......I hurt myself laughing 😂

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

My favorite line of all time (2 actually) Are ye smellin what I’m steppin in? And “That’s the pissingest fish I’ve ever seen” 😂😂

[@PsychoAlfaSchizo]

This weekend, we got 4” of snow. Thanks for taking me fishing, RG!!!

[@richardroe2482]

It seems like every one of your videos is a new adventure! Thank you, and God bless.

[@JerryTolley420]

Those Little Cleo spoons are great for trout fishing too, even in rivers with strong current just a steady retrieve will get em everytime. Tight lines Richard Gene!!

[@jordanwalter2447]

Old man Ricky is my hero. The gar slayer !!

[@robertwhite3752]

“Man that stinks. Let’s smell it!” -RG Once again you have my belly hurting I’m laughing so hard over here Richard. Lol 👃👃👃😂🤣😭

[@derekfisher8571]

Everybody seems to hate the gar. It's always a treat catchin a big one while catfishing. Love to see them!

[@ut000bs]

Not sure I ever saw a longnose that big even swimming in the water much less on a hook. That thing was impressive! You might have to make another "gar roping" video. What you catch with spoons and Rooster Tails: you never know until you throw. We used to hit the white bass run on the French Broad River above the fork at the head of the Tennessee River itself. Richard is right. We would catch fish until we couldn't stand to see one. One after another. A lot of those "green shad" (skipjack), too. Small spoons and Rooster Tails would slay them. Fun times _and good eating._

[@WhatTheQuackOutdoors]

One of the best fishing channels that fishes and not watching a TV pestering fish.

[@Aqua_Holic_Fishing]

Let's go fishing Mr. Gene!!

[@Har1991Per]

God dang I love you RG! You’re the goat!

[@mikebringardner6670]

Favorite fishing channel by a long shot Richard you put fun back in fishing and life thank you for taking us along!!!

[@thestonesaver6345]

Not only a great fisherman but a great impressionist as well... that Buffalo impression was pert much spot on! 😂

[@ferenc-x7p]

I love those spoons! All sizes too! 80% of the time they get hit when they are falling down, in my experience. There were days when I caught pike, bass, pickerel, trout just using the same spoon, same day.

[@scottcozart8950]

Gar dang that's a fishing trip. Love it!!

[@Ace.Fisher]

Love fishing with spoons! They always catch all kinds of different fish!

[@raymondroberts2653]

Love you Richard! So much fun to watch your show. God bless 🎣🙏🏻

[@JenniferBarbosa-v1j]

Amen to that! I’ve been looking forward to going fishing with him for my birthday last August! But I know it’s hard for him because of all the people that would love to go with him!

[@Grayboy82]

Woah! Those gator fish, I'd say if they got a hold of ya, that would be one bad day. Nice work, Richard!

[@rogersimonds1812]

Cyarn…love it! Been a while since I’ve heard that. Short for carrion. My dog used to come back to the house stinkin and daddy would say he had been “wallering in cyarn”. Not sure why dogs do that but it sure was nasty! As always, I love RGTFM! My favorite channel on KZbin! Thanks Richard!

[@CFlivingoutdoorreviews1105]

Good morning Mr Richard. You are such an inspiration. The way you love what you do and how you count everything as a blessing. I love the way you give thanks to the one who truly deserves it, God. It is so refreshing to see someone who truly realizes without God none of this would be possible. Please keep the videos coming. God bless you sir.

[@kross7894]

Richard Gene body slammed that Last Gar!!!😄

[@deborahapplewhite3052]

Mr Richard graced my page this morning! Now I’m binge watching!!!!

[@greatestbamafan]

RGTFM, you have the best fishing channel available to view (In my opinion). Love all of your content. I would love to sit under a shade tree and talk with you one afternoon. I've learned so much from watching your videos. Keep em coming. God bless you and your family sir. ROLL TIDE!

[@miker9043]

WOOO ! my favorite KZbin channel ! Thanks Richard !!!!

[@phillipalston5649]

For my birthday I want to go with Mr. Richard 1 time in my life ❤

[@davidvelazquez5209]

Haven't seen seen one of your videos in a while. Forgot how much I enjoy them. And appreciate the knowledge and techniques. They are second to none. Wooooooo

[@strikezone1879]

Love to see you catch gar. Such a cool looking fish!

[@anthonygraham6100]

Thanks Rich. Next to reading and praying you're a relief from this stressful world, again thanks.

[@Mustang8846]

Another great outing Mr. Richard. God bless you and your family.

[@lcribar73]

Wow Richard! Those gar are big! If you like catching those, you should come up north and fish for some pike and muskie!

[@kenelliott846]

Thank You Richard, great info and video! 😇

[@lukedillard7672]

Great video Richard! Went out to the hiawassee river up above you last Saturday and caught 46 white bass and crappie. Keep up the good work!

[@dirtybuzzard5977]

WO WOOO AWESOME VIDEO SIR.. Stay safe and Keep’em coming 👍👍👍👍

[@frankfields2411]

The “Little Cleo” spoon has stood the test of time…. My dad and I were using them to catch schooling white bass on Clark’s Hill lake about 55 years ago. 😊

[@tomaspadilla8698]

That's a nice gar Richard.

[@Roberts810]

I dont have enough good luck built up to be able to land a big gar on a spoon! Mr. Richard doesn't hard ever lose a fish! Another great vid!

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

Woooooooooooo Weeeeeeeeeeee!!!! MONSTER Gar there Richard!!!

[@BrandonHiggins-u8q]

Brother I can’t thank you enough for everything you have changed my whole game on fishing and a lot of other things I can’t put into words how much you mean to me god bless you and your beautiful family

[@charleywalker2982]

Cook that thing up for mama Sue!!!!

[@markbrooks5278]

Dad gumm Richard GENE!!!You shoulda ett that garr and that buffalo!! Yer a light weight!! 17:46

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

Gar are something else. Kind of a nuisance fish but they fight like crazy and are one of the prettiest fish out there.

[@andywilliamson7846]

Thanks for this fun video, Richard! Man, when I heard you were gonna be spoonpluggin', I was ready to watch a seminar on Buck Perry's methods with his famous Spoonplug. Oh, well....lot's of lures can have similar names. 😄 Looks like that snagged gar was hooked in one of the pelvic fins, not pectoral. We have mostly shortnose gar here in S. Dak. Wish I could get a longnose gar. Take care.

[@keithk1897]

Hey Richard, I've been a fan and subscriber for years. Always love your videos and hit the 👍 I wish I could have one day out fishing with you! That would be a lifetime great moment for me. God Bless you Richard!!

[@mojokurk1637]

I am with that guy . You should have a drawing. I live in Nebraska . If I won i would definitely travel to do some other state fishing . God bless Richard Gene . And Woo!

[@TheTennfisher]

Thanks again Richard, for another great video.

[@Shamus3]

Caught a few sand bass this weekend, kept 3 to try in making jerky. Will definitely make more soon.

[@rider660r]

Been noticing vibration from your new TM coming through the hull and into the camera. It may help or even eliminate it if you could find a rubber mat about 1/4" thick and mount it between your TM and the bow. What you can hear through the camera is probably just as if not louder in the water.

[@robertpoitevint2952]

Caught a Carp the other day in the tail just like you catching that BIG Gar. Caught it on a small BASS PLUG! WOO!

[@GregCollard-cq5yg]

Let me smell that. Only RGTFM. YOU ARE THE MAN.

[@jd350af]

What's it take to go fishin with you for a day? Watched a long time. I always wondered if ya take anyone out.

[@indymac7]

Hey Richard, what kind of blue fishing are you using in this video? And I must say, seeing how you let a lot of fish released...The Gar would make a good catch. I enjoyed.

[@cornbreadburgess1950]

Thanks again for sharing brother and I enjoyed it 😁

[@jameszemotel1047]

What can we say but WOW! Oh, wait... I mean WOO! God bless you brother!

[@michaelwatkins5844]

really enjoy your videos ole buddy. hope you do a white bass run video in the creeks this year

[@stevew7970]

RG, curious that you didn't feel a need for a swivel somewhere on the rig. Either at the top of the leader or directly at the lure, Is line twist not a problem with a spoon?

[@mightymanquivers2184]

Great video

[@angelcondado9171]

great video. I always watch your videos bro 😎. Is it better to fish early or in the afternoon?

[@captaindefication619]

Just went back and watched the Sauger video to get my fix. Richard Gene I can stand to have a new video every day 😂😂😂

[@owensbama1923]

We call those bill gar down here in south alabama. They always tear up my sucker nets in the river down here.

[@Last1standing1984]

I've caught 1 that size give or take a few on an Alabama rig out on my kayak and let tell ya that was a fun ride!

[@keithtimmons378]

Do you think a Little Cleo would work in a farm pond?

[@VinniesFishing1]

Awesome video Richard. I've never used a spoon but I'm mostly a bank fisherman

[@kolbyhansen4227]

Richard you oughta come up to Iowa and catch some slab crappie through the ice next winter with us!

[@drumking388]

Take all the red streaks off the top loin and fry the white bass and it is my favorite fish to eat.

[@catfish573]

I've used Lil Cleo's for trout fishing for decades. Only thing is, I don't get to go trout fishing but about one a decade. They are always in my trout fishing lure box.

[@geoffbohartfishing]

Got on some great Crappie bank fishing the other day! Just put the video on my channel. The bite is heating up in Kentucky.

[@JerrelBaker-vo8xv]

Are skip jack biting up there yet? I live south and across state border from you.

[@AJ-mv3xu]

Hi Richard, I have a question (anyone else is welcome to answer as well). With a spoon bait I figured you can’t fish it by lifting it up and down on the floor in deep murky water because it needs light to reflex off of it. How does it work so well when it’s so dark on the floor? Thanks!

[@dbax6800]

Hay Richard, have a question furr ya where can I get the none waxed dental floss? I'm not sure if they still make it. I have looked everywhere Walmart CVS and so on I live in NW FL have family in gadsden, Fort Payne and Guntersville AL in your stomping grounds . I really appreciate your videos and your great attitude. Thanks Don

[@larrymoore6904]

thanks richard for showing those chatter bait minis i got 8 of them today

[@dreichert1438]

Foul hooked a few of those myself and they fight like demons. Hooked a 3-ft pissed off giant on the dorsal with a lipless. Tried to land it but eventually snapped my 20 lb braid. What a fight!

[@danielpatterson3375]

Are you sure it was a white bass or a hybrid Mr Richard because I have caught both of them before and both of them can be tricky

[@tunaclone1456]

Beautiful gar

[@598camaro4]

When do the white bass start to run on the TN river,

[@imsowright90]

Those were some nice ones.

[@WOT-R.A.]

2 questions, 1. Do Garr fish have scales? 2. Are they good eating?

[@jega157]

Thank you for the blessing.

[@turdferguson5300]

Richard I believe those were Tiger Gar, you had a tiger by the tail ! Bless you brother.

[@AlanHumphres]

God bless Richard gene woooo

[@CharlesPaich]

Yes I volunteer, I would definitely fish you Richard your Awesome. Did you ever eat long nose gar pike? I know some people eat. I know you could get some nice Philets off of those big gar you caught? What do you think?

[@JL-qo7cs]

You should look up what spoonplugging really is. Look up Buck Perry. He's from North Carolina.

[@grantjohnson5308]

I had to look because there is a lure called a spoonplug. So you are just using a spoon to lift and drop. Nice

[@waynecasper5346]

Richard you swapped rods 😮 you did it again 😂

[@snell0710]

Awesome video makes me what to go fishing cause it’s good fer ya lol

[@brandonwoodcock4374]

Richard you need to buy you a spot lock trolling motor. Will keep you out of the trees 😂. And you wouldn't need an anchor anymore

[@heavenbound358]

Great video 😮

[@scottmcley5111]

Thats some strong adrilajin!

[@DanielMartinez-sg2cq]

Are yall smelling what im stepping in 😂😂 Yupp Im here for it machine

[@Kurtdog63]

I chased a jug I baited with bluegill last summer for 30 minutes. I thought it was a giant cat. When it got tired and I finally caught up to it, it was a huge gar.

[@rockhardwood6046]

Uhdrilligen!!!! Get after it, Ol' Son!

[@antonego7950]

You’re awesome ❤

[@frankcouste4785]

You look like me when I catch a fish always end up in the trees. The troller motor is running. I forget about everything when I get that bite. Lol. That big of a difference heaven that 10 pound mainline with a 14 pound liter. What could you do 14 main all the way to the lure?

[@frankcouste4785]

I asked the question at the beginning of the video, so if he explains it, I didn’t mean to jump the gun

[@KennethTrivett-kr8rr]

Have you ever caught a paddle fish?

[@michaelgalindo2938]

Richard’s adrillagen is second to none .
