Fall Bass Fishing - Live Shad Under A Float

[@jeffmorris8768]

Today he went a fishin ,floatin dem lively chad.Elmo had to stay at home cause him was feeling bad.But dat didn,t stop ol Richard,hem hit dat lake a flyin,laughing at ol Elmo cause him was home a cryin.He never once thought of giving up ,and turnin dat boat around.He,s more comfortable rocking in a boat than standing on solid ground.He was catching spot,s left and right dem bobber,s was goin down.Him thought about just givin up an headin back to town.Should he call ol Elmo up and inforn him of his bad luck,knope he quickly decided,he,d left his cell phone in da truck.He decided to stay and fish awhile on dis awful dreary day.He thought about ol Elmo who had so many bill,s to pay.It wouldn,t be right to call him up and make a big ol scene.Knope he quickly decided,as he switched to a chartreuse green.That,s what,s so nice about ol Richard,he,s as nice as he can be,Dat,s why he posted it on you tube, for his best friend Elmo to see................................Nice fish Richard

You are one of the very few that really love to fish and love what they do that Pave the Road for the little Scudders coming up that fish and want to be just like you. You are also one of the few that don't put up a front. You're really real. Thanx Richard.

[@thurminatorfishing206]

Love these live bait bass videos richard! Keep them coming brother hope you catch a big 10lber! I like to free line my shad and i hook them behind the dorsal fin with no weight, i have caught some big ones using this method. I always give them a 10 count before setting the hook and like the 4 to 6 inch shad when free lining. I caught an 8 1/2 on pickwick with a 8 inch gizzard shad last year doing this. Once again thanks for the great videos, i always look forward to your vids, helps me get my fishing fix when i can’t go...lol

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much Thurminator fishing! I'm after that 10 pounder!!

[@N1K5M1TH]

Still hoping to see you do a Lake Wedowee video. I grew up fishing that with my PaPa and my ol' man. Moved to Oklahoma due to the USAF relocating us. Im going to try to get back home soon (been trying all year) and get some fishing in. Thanks for posting these vids, and doing what you do.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

In future I will definitely do this video! Thank you for watching my friend!!

[@N1K5M1TH]

Thanks for giving us upfront raw fishing footage. Your experiance is helping others im sure, ive also ventured into trying new ways to catch em.

Thank you so much, Richard for another great bass fishing video. I love to bass fish, but never had the chance to use live shad to catch bass. Maybe I need to give this a try in the near future. I always use plastic worms to fish for bass. :O) May God bless you in all you do for us!

[@johnhickman930]

That 1st spot was a bruiser Richard Gene! I'd a caught him and he'd a been put up on my wall☺. Great fishing Mr. Gene! Thanks again for the education🖒

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you John!!

[@losdosranchosfarm1850]

Great video Mr Gene. By the way. I cut off all my barbed sleeves off my jig heads and wrapped them with dental floss and I tell you what. That's the best thing since sliced bread !!!!- put a little super you're and them plastics will last me almost all day.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Los Dos Ranchos Farm!! Glad you like that trick!!

[@terrylong4901]

Hey Richard have you ever fished Lake Tuscaloosa for crappie? Maybe in the future you can and video it for us. Would love to see it

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I never have fished their before, but I will try one day! Thanks for watching Terry!!

[@terrylong4901]

That would been pretty fun watching you fish in GOD'S contry

[@terrylong4901]

Roll Tide

[@darrickmoody1668]

Richard I wish you’d come up to north East Tennessee and show me how to catch crappie. Watauga lake is nicknamed the Dead Sea

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I how to one Day Darrick!!

[@crankinforbass7080]

Love the videos Richard! I wish I could catch some spots like that over here on allatoona using live shad. I've tried and can't seem to get em.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Cranking for Bass!!

[@johnathonjohnson9526]

Love those balloons almost sounds like a Florida thing.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Johnathon! It is! thats how I use to do it in the 80's in Florida

[@scotpender9460]

Great as always Mr. Machine. I gotta try that balloon trick. Thanks for all of your points for us less fishing machines!

[@keithmobbs5418]

I really enjoyed this vid, can't wait to get out there on Weiss and try it with those shad. Thank You for what you do!!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

No problem Keith!! Thank you for taking the time to watch!!

[@vvnn1054]

Richard I've really enjoyed learning to catch and fish with live shad recently, thanks to you. Caught a 6 pound bass under a float yesterday, My biggest ever. and then really enjoyed letting him go. Awesome video!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Martin!! Congrats on the catch, very nice!!

[@DavidSmith-uz7sq]

WOW!!

[@kodyspringer]

I love it RGFM you sure know how to do it! Great video for the record book. You said in the beginning it was 10/5, did you mean 11/5?

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Jeffrey!! yes I did lol! this was Nov.5 Elmer distracts me sometimes

[@majorpointer123]

HEY Richard Gene, can you do something in the videos in the future where you distinguish the differences between a spotted bass and a largemouth? I looked them up on Wikipedia. The article basically says that the largemouth has a bigger mouth. It would be nice to see the differences in a real world video. Thanks alot for your videos. They are alot of fun.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I will do on my next bass video! Thank you for watching majorpointer123!!

[@lukebarbourr]

Richard your freaking awesoem!! Im tryingg to start making fishing videos

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Luke!!

[@ScuffedEngineer]

Hey Richard, think you could do a video on how you throw a cast net? I used to be able to, but have forgotten since I haven't done it in so long.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Sure thing shadow!! I'll add it to my to do list!

[@scottwood5988]

Richard do you have any stripers in your waters? If so could u do a video catching some? Btw i love the old school type techniques that you use

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Will do Scott very soon! In fact I might head out sunday and catch some! Thanks for watching Scott!!

[@matthewjackson2853]

Do a carp fishing video!

[@TheQuailtail]

Excellent work with the video Richard as you usually do. I notice, seldom do you use any weight with your presentations.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you TheQuailtail!! In my personal opinion, their are very view situations I'll use weight. The water temp. has to be 60 or lower before I use weight with live bait.

[@TheMinimalistFisherman]

Alabammer!

[@dan2397102]

going out in the morning with some golden shiners i got this afternoon with the cast net. hope i have half the luck you had with those nice fish.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Good luck brother, hope you catch a bigun!

[@geter603]

Hey richard. Do you ever fish for striped bass

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Yes I do! I'm going to focus on striped bass in the near future! I have a video I'm going to be uploading in a day or two, I catch a nice sized stripe!! I wasn't specifically fishing for them but ended up catching a nice one! Should have it up soon! Thanks for watching Jonathan!!

[@wpgordone352]

Gene, my friend , it looks like your two uncles taught you well even if you didnt ever take to that carping like they was doing years ago !! It's too bad they was not able to make any kind of impression at all on that dad gum Elmer and Elmo though !! Im about convinced that there's no hope for them two boys !! Before you have time to even catch a handful of bait ,them boys have done hightailed it back to tha house and got under that big shade tree snoozing away !! I guess that ole ingrown toenail is bothering Elmer pretty bad though and he needed to soak it in some hot epsom salt water to get all that puss drawed out of it !!! But Im glad you had a great time pullin in them big ole pigs !!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Wayne!! You got ole Elmo figured out!

[@shoey64]

I'm from Michigan. What makes a spotted bass different from a large mouth bass?

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

A spotted bass has very small teeth on their tongue, it feels like sand paper. Spotted bass also have a diamond shaped pattern along their sides. They also don't get as big as a largemouth on the average, but they fight twice as hard. Hope this helped Steve. Thank you for watching brother!!

[@SunfishForFish]

I love that time a year when the bass are on hunt for shad

[@flizzle1985]

Long ways from Ohio but For those beautiful Bass and crappie im planning a trip

[@bmackey4854]

where do you find all your old reels?

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I pick them up at flea markets and yard sales. It has takin a while to build up the collection I have though. Thanks for watching Brian!!

[@robertcaldwell7918]

ELMO pooting on you
