Catching Catfish Under Bridges - Bottom Bumping

[@jmtrackworks]

Richard Gene!!! I Love your videos! I lost my first born son a couple of years ago and we loved to fish together! I haven't had the desire to fish since. You and your video's alone have set me back on fire for fishing and through that my heart and spirit are healing! I know that may be a lot to have on you but "hey", please just keep doing what you do. And, "they ain't but one thing to do!!! Let's catch another one!!!!

[@wishyouthebest9222]

Sorry to hear that. God bless your soul

Sorry for your loss sir.

[@timmann3869]

GOD Bless you and your family

[@garyleach92]

You wonder why you have so many subscribers, it's because you teach in detail and become genuinely excited when catching fish. I enjoy watching you catch bluegill to use them for bait.

[@pauleunterborn7923]

And, we appreciate you. Your enthusiasm to go fishing is contagious .

[@SilasThornton1]

Congrats on hitting 100K ! You deserve a million. Best darn clean, informative and entertaining content on this here youtube thing.

I love knowing that the fishing machine still gets so excited fishing. Richard Gene & Fishing= Second to none

[@frankapplegate4852]

here lately i have settled on watching Richard Gene most of the time. i've learned a lot and can't wait for winter to break. Crappie and Bass seem to be the main focus for me. My wife loves to Catfish and will enjoy trying your methods. Thanks for everything.

Richard Gene The Fishing Machine videos are second to none!!

[@paulcricket5352]

Love listening to Richard. Very informative, clean cut and entertaining and a great fisherman. Like his comic relief too.

[@gwag8410]

When it comes to fishermen on utube... okay.... you are second to none!

[@PanfishingJournal]

I love your boat. Easy to clean, nothing to fade and replace or repair. Smart man.

Not only a great fishermen but a great guy and definitely a great entertainer!

[@HookFaced]

Happy to see 100k. You more than deserve it. Nobody does it like The Fishing Machine !!!

[@stevenvalenti3722]

Mr. Gene you deserve to have alot of subscribers. Because your a great fisherman and your passion shows it. You have a very entertaining and helpful channel. One of the best channels on KZbin. I've been watching you for years now. And I'm pretty much the same way. I also believe that fishing is the greatest sport/hobby a person could have. It's a thrill that's second to none. The whole experience of being on the water and hunting for and trying to find them and figure them out to catch and land them. Is so awesome! Keep up the great work you do for us all. And thanks for the tips on crappie fishing. I've only started fishing for crappie 5-years ago. When I moved to the country in Mississippi.🙂

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

Iv'e been to Gadsden AL. many times because my wife is from there. Her mother lived there until she passed away, and I think I have only been back once since then. I did take note of all the great looking fishing areas when we drove down there from Tennessee. The creeks we crossed always caught my attention, because I just love creek fishing. I might get the notion to drive down some day and explore some of the creeks in northern Alabama. Lord knows I have fished bunch of creeks and rivers in my neck of the woods.

[@flintrivercatfishcompany]

Good eatin' right there, we throw them back, back in the live well.

[@cardsfighter2]

I don't understand going fishing with the intention of releasing everything. I mean I love fishing but part of that enjoyment is knowing that I get to eat them as well.

[@henrymeyergarvey1947]

@@cardsfighter2 how old are you?

[@cardsfighter2]

@@henrymeyergarvey1947 wtf does that have to do with what I said?

[@AsleepAtTheReel]

@@cardsfighter2 When you fish as much as he does or I do we catch way more than we can eat. This is my busy time of the year but starting in January I will fish 2-4 times a week. I currently have about 40 bags of crappie in the deep freeze. I am heading out in a few hours to fish again. I do not need to keep them so they are going back. Let them live and spawn.

[@henrymeyergarvey1947]

@@cardsfighter2 because usually the older fisherman are the people who grew up catching and keeping the fish and the newer generation of fisherman are more catch and release.

[@Willywilliamsoutdoors]

Love your videos man! Me and my 3 month old daughter watch your videos every night before she goes to bed! Keep on keepin on brother!

[@Bawdog4]

Hey Mr. Richard gene the fishing machine I am your biggest fan

[@alaskamike3577]

Richardism of the Day, "Hampster Destrious" the ability to use both hands. Yes there is nothing like fishing but by far,,,,,,, there is no one who can top the Mighty Richard Gene when it comes to fishing. He is the finest fisherman I have ever seen and truly an Icon. Thanks for another great video.

[@markdenney8799]

Building and raising children...I hear you. Now what you can add to the list is raising this channel and building a fishing audience that enjoys watching your honesty and enthusiasm. You da man RG!!!

[@austinclemons882]

It's hard to find the good ol' Old Skool fishermen nowadays that just keep it simple. Simple & effective, just as you say. We appreciate what you do for us fishermen and we look forward to each video you post.

[@martyhelfers8642]

Thanks Richard for taking us along. I learn something with every video I watch. Tip of the hat my friend from a retired Central Illinois Steamfitter. Keep fishing and be safe brother! 🎣😊

[@staygold4138]

Congrats on your channels success Richard Gene and ELMO !!!!

[@mattwhittington6310]

You sir, are just a happy guy and I totally understand you. I act pretty much the way you do even when I’m alone lol

Your still building Richard! Instead of houses, you are building your channel! The word is ambidextrous:) Keep up the good work and remember, watch Richard go fishing because it's good fer ya!

[@michaelpacini1332]

Mr. Gene , I am speaking for myself but I know there are a great many that feel blessed to watch you and learn from you. You truly are a fishing legend .

[@lakeratatouille]

Dog gone dad Blane durn! What a great victory chant. I love this channel. Thanks for all these videos

[@mjd2020]

I learn something new everytime I watch one of your videos.

[@booker70124]

Hi Mr. Richard, my boys and I have been watching your KZbin channel for a while and it's inspired us to go fishing today. They're 4 and 5 years old and we dug up worms until we had enough to go fishing. We live in the city but we are fortunate enough to have a great city park with lots of lagoons and we caught a real nice (big 'un) bluegill and a real chunky little largemouth. Love to watch your videos when we can't go fishing and want to thank you and wish you tight lines!

[@CountryNerd639]

This is the kind of "bottom bumping" I can still enjoy at my age.

[@kennethjanetnapper4285]

Really enjoy watching your fishing videos while getting cancer treatment. Can’t wait to go fishing again. Keep the videos coming Thanks Richard!

[@hehazrisen3529]

You are the greatest and your videos shows the compassion!!

[@danielleboyd3701]

Out of all the fishing channels my husband and I watch, yours is definitely our favorite! They're educational and so fun to watch and I like how excited you get EVERYTIME you catch a fish.

[@ut000bs]

"Well, they ain't but one thing to do. Let's catch another one!" Wiser words were never spoken of a sport that's second to none. 👍🙋‍♂️

[@tracymeadows3442]

Great day fishing with the Greatest fisherman of all kinds👊🏻👊🏻

[@serpuffmcpass5859]

I don't think I've ever been this early and I sure am glad I did. It's gonna be a good video if its a Richard Gene catfish video! Keep doing what you're doing man... Because its GOOOOOOOOD FER YA!

Great job as always Richard! I would like to see a catch,clean, cook on one of those nice Blues with you sir. Thanks for what you do for this fishing sports. 👍👍

[@melvinsavage3369]

Thanks for the catfish video Richard gene the fishing machine great video as always very informative👍

[@robbieh.9435]

I agree! The views from your boat of the countryside is so beautiful! Guntersville lake is really a river being held by a damn. I Google mapped it and I can tell. Letting out water from the damn explains the current under those columns, probably some monsters lurking there Elmo!

[@brockgoodwin1535]

I wasn't catching anything over a pound and I tried the 3 shad shuffle, via Richard gene. Pinned about a ten pound channel within 5 minutes. Thanks for the fishing secrets, fishing machine.

[@kentuckyradtech71]
