[@danielnies6412]

Well that's on her fishing Richard looks awesome looks like you're having a ball really that first one was an awesome fish love it love it keep up the good work thank you so much for the video

[@brodywalker8579]

How can anyone dislike this?? Awesome video again man! I drag race in Huntsville all the time. Maybe we could fish one friday, then you come hang out and cook em up at the track that Saturday?? Can even take you for a ride in the hotrod!

[@rodneyyarbrough6524]

People wouldn’t believe how big a shiner a 5 pounder would hit. I cleaned a crappie once that may have weighed 1 pound that had a 10” plastic worm in its gut. They’ll hit huge baits. Good video friend.

[@DocBoA]

First time seeing this technique. Thanks for the value Rich G

[@kstimberghost3283]

Almost 180k Rich! I’ve been watching your numbers rise a lot the past few months. 200k will be here before you know it! Thanks for the content.

[@dong3471]

Fantastic! You keep the content fresh, letting us in on your lifetime of experience and how many different things you can do on the water and how well you do them! A gentleman with great commentary and insight. You've got to get to 100k plus subs, that would only be just for the content you provide compared to everything else out there. Reminds me of being a little boy, the only one awake watching tnn....Martin, Houston, dance. You're the best machine!

[@Stumpman61]

another good one Mr.Gene!!

[@shawnbarrett8920]

Great video! I just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and have been catching up. Would you possibly consider doing a video showing how you find the places you fish (bank topography, depth finder usage and such)? Just be who you are. Those who matter won't care, and those who care don't matter! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@glennthornell7765]

Great video mr gene that was some nice work 1 thing fishing that way with wind blowing that hard will it make a difference if the wind if it not blowing so hard in that type of fishing to hang more fish or less just your personal opinion take care nieghbor. Thanks Your friend in Tuscaloosa

[@razorbackfan2011]

Let me in the boat brother! I think I could fish with ya all day! I jus started watching your videos, getting that spring fishing fever, come to to Arkansas we'll yank some heads together! I just subbed waiting for your next one.

[@joelhenderson5526]

Good stuff Elmo!

[@BigT27295]

Great bobber trick .

[@stevedavison6115]

What a great time I have watching you Richard but where did you find b that pink casting rod son? :)

[@derbysmoke5055]

What kind of rod is that red and yellar one

[@robertrodriguez7341]

I love that catch and release

[@bluewidow1734]

Hey gene how is that Abu Garcia 3600? I hear a lot of mixed reviews if you say its a good reel its probably a good reel I was thinking about buying one for cat fishing

[@lho10101]

Awesome technique

[@daletann5398]

Dang gone i love this video,people thought i was crazy in nc when i used this method, i hooked a ballon to a white perch, blowed it up to aboyt the size of a basket ball and let him go with about 6 foot ofline with no rod and reel, he went back to the school naturally, then i just followed the ballon and wore them out and count countlesd because he showed me where the were moving lololol !

[@jeromedwojak918]

Love the vid Richard!

[@iamremy-kl3xm]

Great video Rich...!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤙🏾

[@speek8410]

Thanks for the tips. You fish my lake - Weiss.

[@queendoyle6537]

Will the balloon work for crappies please do a video

[@edwardtomlin8592]

I used balloons for Carolina rig Lake fishing for stripers and free line big gizzards in river

[@burtgordon4796]

Great video!

[@drumking388]

Good job on those trashy green fist. Grin

[@jonboatmorava9115]

Richard! How come when I move around my boat that's very similar to yours like you do I feel like I'm going to roll over or is it just an optical illusion and you have great sea legs?

[@robertrodriguez7341]

U a good man

[@earlsmith5717]

Hey ,,, Wooo,, Keep dem coming !!

[@jeffjohnson7486]

What is normal anyway? Just enjoy urself brother-- keep on keeping on!!!

[@GuntersvilleLakeFishing]

man the bass are super healthy in big G this year, i love it gonna be a heck of a spawning season!

[@docriordan7787]

When you find Elmo send him to the auto parts store for some pure silicone spray for the squeaking trolling motor the silicone won't hurt rubber or plastic, of course good video with or without the squeak.

[@fasteddie1382]

Awesome.. 👍

[@MillerOutdoors1]

Enjoyable video sir. :) What kind of line is that red line? Is it Cajun Line? And what pound test?

[@mattdidit84]

Awesome video as usual

[@coolbreeze5916]

U a baaaad man,, love your stuff

[@truncatedbarrelhammercuda8577]

Hey Richard when you say go fishing when you can cause it’s good for ya , can you do it while on helium .Thx

[@ronniebullard6431]

What is the best way to get shiners like you use????

[@erinquave6692]

Have you ever fished with a soft jerk bait for bass??? Love your video's

[@RetiredonActiveDuty]

Do you catch a fair amount of catfish using this technique?

[@dwightstewart7181]

Instead of a balloon, use a Thingamabobber. They come in various sizes (1/2", 3/4", 1", 1.25", etc) and colors (red, yellow, orange, pink. black, white, etc), with 3/4" and 1" probably the most common sizes. They can be attached to an exiting line (stick a loop through the eyelet and wrap that loop around the ball) and adjusted like a slip bobber.

[@carversgarden]

Very good!!! Stay true.

[@RyanMiller-uy6xs]

That was bigger than 4 and nice vid

[@EliteBassStickFishing]

💯💪👊LET'S GO!!! Awesome vid!💯

[@jeremyworsham1791]

What hook would you use under that balloon?

[@Chubby_Ninja_Games]

i found your channel almost a year ago and have been fishing ever since! been meaning to ask, what brand nylon line do you use? i fish for crappie and bluegill mainly and i wanna change my line up a bit. love the videos :) keep'em coming and hey.. wooooo you be crazy out there on that water cause you will have yourself more space to fish.

[@williamjenkins3720]

As always 👍

[@waynemiller6699]

Great job....thanks for a great video.....Roll Tide

[@nickmccoy9703]

The crappie fishing was on after u left that spot yesterday

[@fred4outdoors620]

Try using shiners double or triple that size. No kidding it's the fastest way to get 7+ pounds. Find ya a good spot and either pitch em in or troll over it- magic

[@gettintothapoint9769]

Richard, what size hook are you using?? Great channel !!

[@JBfishing619]

That first bass eas way bigger than 4
