Micro Fishing For BIG Shellcracker!

[@petelowenstein5362]

I simply love your videos, Mr.Gene. I am an old time bass tournament fisherman. I was a charter member of BASS, my number was #86....way back in 1968 and did that stuff for decades. One day I realized that I wasn't having fun anymore. Fishing had become a hassle of chasing the almighty $$$$....so I quit that stuff and went back to what I always enjoyed. Your kind of fishing. The past 20 years have been a total delight....I wouldn't give you 10 cents for every bass in the lake, but I will go wild over those slab crappies, bluegills, and shellcrackers. Keep on with the videos. I LOVE to see that float go under. Thank you. Pete Lowenstein.

Man I forgot how much I enjoyed these older videos… I love it!

[@richardherrington2852]

How wonderful it must be to be wealthy enough to own one of those homes and boathouse on this beautiful lake. Just proves that the quality of life one can enjoy strictly revolves around how much wealth you have.

[@MeasuredMove16]

If you were me, okay - would you throw back in there...priceless Rich.

[@gtdsdaddy1]

I laugh a lot during your videos, but you made me lose my breath on trying to snap up the flying bugs at the end. Never stop.

[@charleshaggenmaker4522]

You are the icon of the water.....best of all time....never will be another like you the Ole machine.....

[@stevemourer1957]

I remember Homer Circle and enjoyed reading his articles each month. Richard you are the Homer Circle of KZbin. My grandson and I enjoy your videos.

[@JohnMartin-ze8cf]

Thanks Richard.....This is my favorite so far.

[@traviswheeler2798]

[@stillwater62]

Just another day in paradise.

[@normanedwards8552]

I'm old school too Just like you Richards love those knots and crappie fishing.✌

[@johnparker3578]

Hey Richard...The Machine and Micro Man...you got them Shellcrackers pegged buddy...nice vid..

[@almarkham3470]

You are truly the best! Thank you for your interest in making videos as we all enjoy!

[@DocBoA]

If redear were the size of bass we'd need deep sea tackle for em. Great show Rich G

[@LSeymour]

Hey thanks for that tip on line memory removal!

[@michaeljohnston777]

I 2nd that!!!

[@seanwear7427]

Richard you remind me of all that old school fishing styles and knowledge of both my Grand dads. Keep showing us how its done.

[@joshuamcconkeyfishing]

Hey richard! We would love to see a video of you targeting hybrid stripers once.

[@johnmartin6140]

Elmo.....This one is my favorite one of all.Thanks

[@Psalms19.1]

It’s way up there on my list too. Only 2nd to creek fishing videos and the live bait videos around the bridges.

[@johnmartin6140]

This is my favorite video of all....Thanks for doing these for us.....Elmo....

[@traviscain259]

Mr. Richard have you ever thought about doing a video on cooking up some shellcracker, bluegill or crappie. Like to see how you prepare your fish. Seems like everybody does it a little different. Great videos, me and my 4 year old son watch them all.

[@elvisfranklin3712]

Richard you are bringing back fond memories of my younger years!!!

[@junk250]

You are the only guy I know that fishes 1 lb test,, nice lesson. You should do a video on some of your sweet Ultra-Lite set ups

[@pauldrapac466]

Love the ultra light setup, Richard! Another great video! Keep 'em coming!

[@anthonylawson7073]

Do you think the reason panfish prefer smaller lures like that is because it's about the size of the insects they eat Richard.Great show as always

[@SouthWestIron]

Really cool with that light tackle! Get n thare boy!

[@joshgrimes9554]

I've been using 4lb and 2lb S.O.S. line and mini mite jigs this year...pretty much fishing ultra light tackle this year, and caught more fish than I ever have in years past. And a lot more fun! You got me hooked on using lght line...Great video, Ricard Gene!

[@bretthompson22]

Thanks for the line tip! I always wondered about that. Love what you do Bro! Thank you again!!😀

[@rogerchandler9737]

Richard your content is of the charts.......thx brother.

[@alexlee2328]

I love hearing that drag thanks

[@genesloan3175]

What a bunch bigins! I hope they are in my area. Bedding in less tha 30 days unless we get some crazy cold fronts coming like we got this week. Down in high 30's last night. Almost got the boat rigged up. Trolling motor is fixed and big motor is running (knock on wood). That was a great video, you're the real deal Fish Whisperer!

[@BigT27295]

Out of all you catch this right here is some of the funnest fishing...

[@Sabrinathefishinggirl]

We call em Chinquapin down here in Louisiana. My favorite thing to fish for, but when you tell someone you like bream fishing the best, they don't think you can fish. That's bull. They can be hard to find sometimes. I have been trying to learn crappie, but its hard. I had to resort to youtube. I dont have a fish finder. Just a jonboat and a few cheap poles.

[@jonahlawrence2797]

Great video Richard thinks again Richard I'll be watching your next video God bless you and your family

[@ifishcatfish]

Gene, rememer the tiny jig on my Musky video? I caught all my big crappie on that small thing. On the big jigs I am getting far fewer bites and i get impatient. I think you are on the money, sir! As long as you JIG IT, small artificials produce everything.

[@n-e-where-shipping3626]

“ if you were me, oohhhh kayyy” 😃

Beautiful Fishes Congratulations I also have a *Fishing* Channel here in Brazil.🎣🐠🐟👍

[@daviddixon3705]

[@EddieLindsay681]

[@BlueCollar919]

I love these videos they remind me how simple it really is to have fun. Theres gonna be a lot of squirrel tail jigs being sold after this one. I used to watch my grandpa tie his own when i was just a lil bitty fella. Caught many a fish on homemade jigs.

[@charlesgeorge4391]

[@fishingislife6778]

[@bradallen7859]

Shoulda waited ya answered my question!!! Enjoy your videos!

[@docriordan7787]

I remember Homer, back in the mid 80's when I got started with bass fishing. Had a vhs tape of him talking about THE fish finder the ratltrap. I have neurosophy in my hands but may try a split shot in front of jig so I can feel it some.

[@timelliott4148]

Awesome fishing sir.

[@stevesnodg]

Where can I get squirrel tail jigs and what colors work best?

[@Marli2023]

That looks like a lot of fun.

[@CrappieCom]

Another great video. Thanks Richard. I may just have to go small. Small bait and small line. Not done it that small before. Great tip about soaking your line too. You have a lot of knowledge, thanks for sharing.

[@ronself9880]

Love it love it enjoy thanks for sharing till next time

[@artbigsby6024]

love the fishing tips, had a good time going a long .

[@notbadforaraglesvilleboysm7634]

Richard my boy took me fishing and IT WAS GOOD FER US!

[@nickheyd6417]

It's about time Richard. I was having the fishing machine withdrawals

[@johnmartin6140]

Elmo this is my favorite of them all....would brim and shellcracker,crappie fishing be good on the dead river west of Centre/west of Weiss dam.....why don`t you try it ?

[@Flytyer16]

Richard, could you share a description of the 2 jigs you used in this video. First, the squirrel tail jig. Was the squirrel tail natural or dyed? It was hard to tail because it was wet. Also, did it have any body material other than thread? And as far as the 2nd jig, was the body made of the same sparkly material as was used in the tail? It's called krystal flash. It looked like there was a strand or two wrapped around the hook shank to make the body. Also, what colors were in the tail of the 2nd jig. That was also hard to tell from the video plus I have serious problems identifying some colors. Thanks

[@Nate......]

The bugs don't know who they messing with that's Richard Gene

[@chrisnunnelley3417]

Great video Elmo 👍👍👍👍

[@FishingWithBIGD]

[@snuggalufagusjambuddy7303]

Great Video keep them coming also nice teaching content R.G.T.F.M 👍

[@toddholcomb6880]

Where do you get your squirrel tail jigs, or do you make them?

[@mannyvenegas7601]

Nice fish!

[@stevedavison6115]

How about doing a video on how you do your way of getting the memory out of your fishing line there Richard. Steve

[@MrFurflyin]

Another great video. I heard you say that you were fishing with a #10 hook. What was the weight of the jig? I've got 6 squirrel tails in the freezer that are fixin to be fishing jigs. I use to tie them all the time but I haven't tied any in years. They are a great bluegill and shellcracker bait.

[@mattwatson6597]

thanks

[@30farms70]

Great video

[@benbrower7829]

I've heard hot tap water will remove memory from the line on your reel.. Not sure if it will..

[@ironmen23]

Richard Gene- Thanks for the tip about soaking your line. Do you take if off the spool entirely and soak it or leave it on the spool and soak it like it comes packaged from the store?

[@mwatkins2464]

Cam L no don’t take it off the spool or you will never get it on your reel. Just soak it on the original spool it came on from the packaging then wind it on your reel. Hope this helps

[@ironmen23]

M Watkins ok got it. Thanks for your time and goodluck fishing buddy!

[@Flippenthebird]

I would love to see some videos of the equipment you use to make your videos Machine, and your method of putting them together. You do a killer job of fishing,, along with making killer content for us to watch, and remember go fishing when you can cause its good for ya!!!!!

[@otalldon5582]

Richard, where do you get your one pound test line bud? I love finesse fishing, would love to get me some 1 lb test line

[@markforster6457]

Soak the mono in warm water, or does it matter?

[@angelasheppard7197]

Are those little houses on the lake?if so are they rentals

[@d8alot]

7:20. When you’re so good that you change lures because it’s too easy to catch em with this lure.

[@randy1ization]

[@higherriver-5257]

[@cocosli803]
