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!!!!

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.

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!

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

[@flintrivercatfishcompany2669]

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.

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!

[@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.

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

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.

[@snipe69r]

Ya Always make me smile Richard! Thanks for doin what you're doin!

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@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 .

[@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.

[@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.🙂

See how gentle the man is with the fish? The fish and man are old friends. He comes out, catches the fish, let's him go, catches him again etc etc. Fish gets good meal and man gets good day of fishing. See ya next weekend old friend.

Thank you for putting out the vids. Awesome as always brother

[@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!

[@ksoutdoorsports]

Super cats Richard! Love the technique! I'll have to give it a try in a couple of weeks.

[@luludawg1]

Good day for you. Just want to say Thank you for sharing your fishing adventures with us. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into making these videos. Thanks again sir!

[@bethnwalt]

Richard if you ever get around Wilson Damn and need a fishing buddy let me know! Love the channel!

[@Loglakeliving]

Congratulations Richard!! I started my wife out with the “Elmo compilation video” specifically the “my wife always tryin’ to tell me what to do” part...she couldn’t help but laugh and shake her head. Now she can’t help herself from saying “let’s let him go”!! I hope your channel is a blessing to you and your family! Thank you. Thank “Elmo” for me for being such a good sport and so entertaining!!!

[@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!

[@bradnat05]

I love Richard Gene!!!

I enjoy this channel waaay to much. Someone who enjoys fishing as much as me. Im very glad to have found this channel. Keep them fish coming. Wooo,wooo...

Richard Gene, Patrick BEATY here From Nashville Tennessee, I’m 28 years old and I’m a certified welder!! Part time job is the outdoors lol!!!!!!I’ve been watching your channel and videos on KZbin for quite some while and just now figured out how to subscribe LOL. I’ve never subscribed to anyone channel always just watch them but for some reason I just really like you and your videos And I think you’re a heck of a guy! Heck I take that back, I love ya and you crack me up and I’ve also learned A lot from you. I’ve been fishing all my life Mainly i target bass but here lately I’ve been trying to catch Crappie because of you ha ha and I can’t seem to catch them like you can LOL. I’m here at the lake now as a matter of fact and we just now got a little bit of a cold front and I just watched your video on how to tie a loop knot.. that is unreal how it keeps that Jig at a 90° angle!! But anyways to sum all this up I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy watching your show and I wish I had someone Like you to go fishing with because I know if I enjoy watching your shows as much as I do then I would love fishing with you!!! I look forward to hearing from you. Take it easy Richard I’ll see you on the water

[@mauser8515]

Im spoiled rotten. I grew up in Frankville, Alabama. Off the Tombigbee River. My Grandpa, and Dad used to take me to Millers Ferry, Claiborne Lock and Dam to catch skipjack. We would jug or fish off of custom made trot lines my Grandpa made. Now 20 years later I was given a Jon boat. I fabbed up an aluminum fishing rack for the back and have been putting around Montgomery, Wetumpka. Damn I've got a lot of learn. Caught my first cat yesterday at about 2:30pm on some cut drum. I am having trouble finding skip jack in my area, and shad. I tried using Bluegill, but only rclecently learned I could fillet them, and to not burry the hook so deep in the bait. Dang it is humbling
