Brother Richard you are the perfect ambassador for the sport of fishing which we know is second to none! God bless you and your's and God bless us all!

[@mikebaker4962]

I like when Richard gean says let's put him the bucket... ✌

[@allenthomas3422]

I love catching crappie on minnows

[@miker9043]

Richard i will never tire of watching you catch fish ! Thanks for taking us with you Brother !

[@Shawnpimpin601]

Richard Gene don't need livescoop to catch fish🔥🔥🔥

[@mikewest712]

Very good tips were given away in this video. He is not joking talking about crappie staying in a small area. Cast accurately and imagine a circle the size of a hula hoop will keep you on them .

[@Barkley-q8l]

Thanks Richard.......I don't use minnows either, I use minners like you!!

[@donnylockett6572]

Good evening Richard great show!!

[@itllkeal]

Thanks Richard. That's one of the best OLD SCHOOL tip that I've seen all year. I've been buying bobber stops and breaking off then going through the trouble of threading one back on. Never once did I think of a uni knot. God Bless

[@keithwoods3090]

My man, Mr Gene is the best, awesome video I've watched him do this every year and I still enjoy it, can't beat the old minner and slip cork, keepum coming!

[@DoubleGravyBiscuit_911]

Richard you have really turned my whole fishing experience into something else, I only chase big Ole crappie now, on light tackle. Thank you sir

[@steveburns-ot7kq]

Richard love your videos but I wish you would explain where you are fishing mainly because I'm trying to decide where to buy a campsite in to visit so I want to make the right move to have the perfect fishing opportunity thnx for all you do on this channel god bless

[@CrappieStudent]

I love your videos. You make it look so easy. Maybe one day I will be able to catch them like you do.

[@ronflo38]

Mr Richard you are the best I’ve seen so far.. until I can catch you lol the student. I’ve learned a lot from your videos I thought I had crappie fishing down pack… I’m 55 years old and I’ve learned even more thank you sir very much God bless you and yours .. love ya and keep teaching and catching thanks

[@Cody_Buck]

Richard, you are the perfect combination of philosopher and down to earth. You are THE man. Thanks for the great content.

[@Steve-y5i]

I use a rubber band tied to line for my cork stop ! Slides were I want it to !

[@kenelliott846]

Thank You Richard great info and video, you are the best ever brother! 😇

[@jerryking3208]

Can’t thank you enough. God Bless.

[@martyhenry7032]

Now this man is a true fisherman that plants good seeds using a fishing pole. Fisher of men! (WOW) exciting humorous, and tons of fun watching your videos. God bless

[@eddiefralix3502]

Like the way you Break It On Down for us Richard. To the simplest things.

[@dirtybuzzard5977]

Another awesome video Sir and a good mess of Crappie there gonna be some good eats tonight. Stay safe and Keep’em coming.👍👍👍👍WOO

[@jeffreylankford6240]

We appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us I’ve learnt more watching and listening your vedios than I’ve ever learnt from anyone else I know thanks man

[@johnwilliams3655]

They! Love all the videos you do sir. Informative and entertaining. I could listen to Richard Gene all day long.

[@lddfsm]

Another goodun. My two favorite words. Love it Richard. Keep up the entertainment.

[@hiltonturner9852]

The biggest advantage that a 'slip bobber' rig has over a 'fixed bobber' rig is the slip bobber rig is easier to accurately cast than the fixed bobber rig especially if you have the bobber depth set to fish deeper than say 3 to 4 feet. Bobber fishing with minnows for crappie allows you stand a distance away from the area where the fish may be gathered-up and not spook them away. A Bobber rig is my favorite way to fish for crappie. Great video Richard!

[@christopherwatson283]

The Power of Sli😅p Corks is 1. Cast Abilities for Deep Fishing. Short Rig hanging that can be accurately Casted and Dropped Deep. 2 Adjustability. The Trick is Fishing 25 Ft. With an easy Cast. Up Top you can Adjust a Standard Cork to about 3 ft. and still cast. Slips are for Deep Fish that Require a Long Accurate Cast at Specific Spot..

[@danmidkiff5416]

I'm going to pick your brain a minute. I'm looking for education. I use the rubber stops that come on a wire. Put the line through the wire, and pull the stop onto the line. Easy enough. But, after I set a depth with the rubber stopper and cast the line, the stop moves further up the line as it comes through the eyelets. Any suggestions? Are the string knot stoppers better? Thank you in advance.

[@Rszi83]

@@danmidkiff5416 I encounter this same issue, I use 2 stoppers at a time and it seems to work better for me

[@christopherwatson283]

I just use a rubber band. Like a Pony Tail Tie. Cut it. Tie one overhand knot very tightly. Spit on it. Tie another overhand on top tightly. Clip off the ends tightly. To adjust. Spit on it and slide slowly. It will real up into an open face reel. Then you can cast. I've never used anything else.

[@christopherwatson283]

My Grandfather taught me to Slip Cork in the early seventies. I'm pre bobber stop. I'm rubber band stop.

[@angelopowell4065]

Love your videos bro!

[@donireneyoung1272]

Richard Gene...you are the man! Great video...blessings.

[@jonahlawrence6204]

[@timmurray279]

Thank you Richard! Great video full of information! God Bless!

[@yakkemupfishing6778]

Richard Gene you the truth!! I’ve learned a lot from you keep on fishin!!

[@brianlykins6663]

Thanks, Richard, for another great video. You're right, it's getting about time for Crappie to start bedding, water Temps just gotta come up a little more. I love using live minnows, they'll work when hardly nothing else will. Richard, I appreciate all you do sharing your knowledge and experience with us. God bless ya'll and ya'll stay safe out there on the water. Ya'll enjoy your fresh fish !!!

[@richardpassmore2735]

Another good fishing trip thank you Richard and keep ‘‘em coming 👍

[@Pops-my9wq]

Hi Richard Do the fish head north up the river in the spring to spawn in the shallows?😊

[@perrysanders3614]

Hey brother. You ever use a lighter and heat up the bend in your hook so it will straighten out easier.

[@russellstewart5414]

Stop giving away your secrets! I always do that, I’ll just take a little temper out of the hook with a propane torch on the bend area only , not cherry red but reddish and it makes that Aberdeen hook really soft and it can straighten out several times before it finally breaks. Some people worry about losing big fish but a 21 in smallmouth bass and several channel cats and dozens of big crappies on the same hook is good enough for me

[@willscottrell6919]

Slip bobbers are a blast. I use them for grouper in the gulf of Mexico. Just with 80lb test, 1.5 oz of lead a big hook and a 6" float. It allows you to suspend a large pinfish a couple feet over the bottom be it rock or seafans. Just let it drift back with the tide, works awesome.

[@robertpoitevint2952]

You are the man! Like your slip shot set up. Never have used a set up like it.

[@jhaywood429]

Thanks for the video RG. That’s all I wanna do. Nicely done right there!

[@crystaltrickle941]

Great video!

[@Woods1997]

Absolutely love your videos brother! We are headed out this Friday for a full weekend trip crappie fishing I hope we catch some slabs🤙⛰️🎣

[@Stardusted]

Thanks for the info and the smiles!

[@dreichert1438]

Love to use that but up in VA right now if you drop a minnow in 40 something degree water it just quits moving and dies quickly. All jigs for now

[@GenXMafia]

I usually have that problem in the warm water in the summer. The minnows he’s using are called creek chubs. They prefer colder water. When you buy them, they are in cold water at the bait shops. But if I try to use them in the summer once the water starts getting into the 80’s they die almost as soon as they hit the water. I don’t fish year round like this guy does and other people do. I usually fish early fall, early spring then once Memorial Day weekend hits and it starts getting real hot out I hang it up until the fall. Can’t stand being out there in real hot or real cold weather on a lake and not catch anything. I don’t know how they do it. 😞

[@randyrussell2574]

Mr. Gene can you vertical fish an underspin

[@MiguelRodriguez-zi4sl]

Always helpful and encouraging to see you out there enjoying God's gifts. Looking forward to using the great stuff you're sharing. Thanks again and God Bless!!

[@sharbaker2786]

Your hoodie looks very nice on you. That color blue is YOU❣️ Happy 🐟 🎣 Blessings 🙏 🐾

[@scottmcley5111]

I like that technique with the weak spot being the hook in case you get hung up. Excellent. 👍 Keep ya from retying so much if your finding them in the trees

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

MONSTER crappie for sure Richard!!! They would break my Ultralight pole no doubt!!!! Epic video 📹 😎

[@FiguringOutFishing]

Watching him fish brings me just as much joy as catching then myself.

[@Cooper260]

God bless you and your family Richard keep on keeping on brother ❤

[@jamesjarvies3099]

Very interesting video! Good job Richard.

[@georgecoy3848]

Would love to see how you cook them someday!

[@BrandonHiggins-u8q]

Love you brother great show ass always thank you so much I’ve learned so much from your videos god bless you and your family

[@kadenjessie4286]

I love to go fish for every type of fish you have caught

[@rosswatkins2277]

Heck yea Bo put em in da bucket

[@GenXMafia]

This method of fishing makes perfect sense and it seems to work for a lot of folks but I have never had any luck with it.

[@rider660r]

I've only used minners once or twice in my life,a buddy will buy the things every time he/we go. I've out fished him I think every time using jigs tipped with a 1/4-1/2" piece of NC or some small 1- 1.5- sometimes 2" crank/jerk baits. Saved a lot of $ not wasting it on minners. Another month and I'll be back out catching up here in the ol Commiewealth of PA.

[@leiurus.]

Caught my first crappie of the year yesterday with crappie googan white with blue glitter on a cloudy but it rained in the morning he was hungry

[@chichirodrigues171]

Nothing like watching that cork drop. Woo woo. That winter bite is more rewarding. Rabbit season is over here. Time to git it. Woo

[@ricksergent8756]

Richard you need to come up to the Crappie expo in Louisville KY fairgrounds this Saturday. Love to meet you up there.

[@billmitchell7731]

Big 👍🏻Richard. Watching and enjoying from Arkansas 👍🏻💛🙏🏻

[@shyanny1]

looks awesome

[@MySORRELL]

thanks!

[@robertpiotrowski7850]

I always just tie a rubber band above the slip bobber. Works great.

[@kennethmichael5607]

Your the best Richard Eat your heart out Bill dance

[@jeremypinter9044]

Hey Richard. How's about a catch clean cook and eat video??

[@SlayAtHomeDad311]

Richard, did you ever believe you would become a professional fisherman like you are today? Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

[@timothyinfinger1650]

You have a good clean show. Thank you for explaining so much .

[@elpinguino11]

Thanks!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much elpinguino11 for your support! God bless

[@kennettmanion9600]

I use Porcupine bobbers on a slip bobber setup, the smallest weight I can find, and a number 4 gold hook.

[@KawkazianWDE]

Come on down to Lake Martin. They bite’n good.

[@TimBo8690]

Good video yes sir 💯💯💯💯💯

[@mississippiman601]

Love some RGTFM!!

[@nathanneaveill9643]

A Richard you talk about God I'm a person that probably needs that him I love fishing I hope that one day I can have God in my life and thank you for your shows man I really appreciate it

[@HoustonFishingFinatic]

Love ur tips and techniques sir! Catch and cook!!??

[@davo8802]

I'm a 50 year old man that's watched you for a long while. I think im just cursed. I've tried everything you have shown me but fish pack their bags when I come. If your ever around Chattanooga on a Sunday, I would love to bank fish with you. Maybe you could put a good word in with the fish for me 😂 have a blessed day buddy....

[@brodyburkett3740]

Brilliant

[@dalethompson2788]

Awesome video,,,thank you for what you do

[@jamiecobb3549]

What’s your water temp there now Gene. Thanks for the great videos.

[@johnsutton1038]

Just curious, Richard, I use barrel weights that slide up and down my line. What's your reasoning behind using the clamp on weights? Guessing it's to allow the minnow to move around more freely? And what lb test do you use to tie your uni knot? My dad used 10-12 lb trout line. Not a fan of the pre tied knots or stoppers either. Another awesome video, big fan! Roll Tide!

[@mcleodautomation]

Richard, I've noticed when using bobber stops, or even a double uni for a leader, I tend to mess up my casts when that connection goes through the eyelets. Do you have the same issue, and do you just compensate with your casts? I'm not using thick line and my uni knots are pretty tight so I think it's a skill issue.

[@ronron6230]

It's funny when I catch a fish now I find myself wanting to say "WOOOO"!! 😂

[@gaigeseiler7830]

Can you target some big catfish on your next video?? Love all your videos

[@paulharwood1281]

Great video and info Mr. Richard as normal :)

[@JohnKloostra]

Do you ever do a catch clean and cook

[@jonn6427]

That's a method of fishing that I want to do more of. Problem is sometimes minnows aren't available before I get to the lake.

[@louiesalas7928]

my favorite fishing man

[@imsowright90]

Can you cover the way you tie your two lines together on a future video? Thanks.

[@christopherstjohn392]

RGTFM is my favorite way of fishing catch up a go home and cooking them

[@cutbaitkenny]

Hey Richard I got one of those old Johnson 800 reels you were talking about in one of your videos, do you remember which one it was? I want to see how you were fishing with it.

[@stevepickett4258]

Can you show how to hooked up a key switch for your motor?

[@adriansmith1500]

Can you show how you tie your uniknot for you bobber stop

[@BigT27295]

Some Jim Dandys for Momma Sue. Wooooo.

[@stevetarvin3146]

Thank you and God bless you

[@joelhenderson5404]

Moma Sue is going to be proud of you Gene!

[@robertcaldwell7918]

Nice Video

[@jpdenk]

Another amazing video, Richard! I've been a subscriber for quite a while, and I really enjoy your videos. Health issues have made it difficult for me to do much fishing in recent years and I really miss it, so I fish vicariously through your videos, and I thank you for that. But I'd like to offer some advice based on my experience with big Crappies: those huge slabs like the ones you're catching in this video are the breeders that produce a LOT of eggs, they're your breeding stock. If everyone keeps significant numbers of them, you'll see the Crappie numbers quickly start to drop. I've personally seen that happen, and it's a very sad thing to witness. John D.

[@MidwestOutlaw86]

Weigh them crappie for us, dad.

[@pawpawcoleman7690]

I wish I knew how to tie that uni knot to my main line for the stop.

[@romanmoroni2785]

You’re the best
