If You Like To Eat Bluegill - Easy Way To Catch Loads

[@MisterSpaceLee]

i’ve been watching you since your very first video. you have gotten me through a lot of hard times. I just want to tell you thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you read this message.

Day 1 ☝️

[@JonathanIngram-y8q]

It's impossible to end a Richard gene video in a negative mood. Wooo!

[@lawrencewilhelm3031]

I love this dude so much! He’s almost like my second dad. My actual dad taught me a lot about fishing, but Richard has taught me more!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much MisterSpaceLee! That means a lot brother! Im glad you enjoy the channel. I know how it is we all go through some tough times, but always remember go fishin when you can! God bless

[@frankmccutchen4410]

I have as well

[@ReconRat3]

Who you see is who you get with RG. He is a gentle, exceptionally talented fisherman, God loving family man, and crazy as a hoot owl! Years ago, when he fished on the pro tour, he was kind enough to bring his bass boat to a fishing event we were holding. He let the kids crawl up onto his boat, and gave my youngest daughter a hat he signed. To this day she treasures it, and is still eager to go fishing! He IS a fishin’ machine, and a treasure to the sport of fishing.

[@dangerousdylan6262]

It seems like he's some kind of fishing machine or something....

[@1990smitch]

Your goal in life needs to be someone that another someone writes comments like this about you. I'm southern man and watching Richard is just like folks I run and talk with on a weekly basis

[@ReconRat3]

Then you are a lucky man.

[@kingofspades8411]

A real fisherman using experience and instinct, instead of live scope

[@NanoFishRoom8]

I'm the same way

[@BigPawPaws]

Only thing I use mine for now is to see if there are fish there. I fish in south Louisiana where most places are less than 6 ft water. Active target or live scope doesn't work well in swallow water. I hardly even mess with mine. It takes up too much of my time

[@dantucker7390]

Richard always good to watch you fish and talk about the Lord. God bless you and Mama Sue 🙏

[@preachersdayoff]

Been following you since you had a 3,000 subs. Thanks for sharing your faith at the end. Like fishing, faith in Christ never get old.

[@jasonsmith6095]

Richard Gene ad Mama Sue…..thank you for being an inspiration and guiding us back to the Lord while we enjoy the outdoors. I remember when covid was challenging your family, and God’s will be done, y’all made it through. Keep makin videos and giving us the inspiration!!!

[@mikestout9349]

Richard Jean, HE did the same thing for me. Washed my sins away. Who knows maybe we’ll meet up on the other side one day. At my age, I’ll probably be there before you. I’ll scout out some good places for us to fish if that’s allowed.

[@xSteve1983x]

😂

[@MikeCollins-x5n]

God bless you and your family buddy! It’s so good to see a working man to be able to enjoy himself. I know I do! The sport of fishing is second to none!

[@chipznmusic]

A while ago I was at a pretty secluded lake that not even the locals really knew about and I was fishing for bass. Not a single bass bite that day. I say hell with it and throw on a small hook and WOW I was catching some of the biggest bluegill I had ever seen. After that I went straight to the sports shop and bought myself a nice little panfish setup and I couldn't wait to go catch some more. And God bless you too, Richard. Thank you for showing me the panfish way.

[@GGeneral71]

For people wondering how he can cast the reel out so far, it's really quite simple, two things, 1) Line, when pan fishing crappie, bluegill, , or similar, when using pan fish size jigs 1/16 and smaller, using fishing line 6lb test or smaller is best, my favorite is Mr Crappie 6lb high viz. I think it's the perfect balance between strength and castability(limpness), 2)Make sure your spool is full, this is very important, full to the edge of the spool,( the more the line rubs on the top rim of the spool as it goes off the spool, the harder it is for the light weights jig to go out. Follow these 2 simple steps and you won't believe the difference, with a light flip of the wrist, you'll be casting those light jigs almost across the lake in no time. It's surprising most people don't know this. Your welcome in advance, and enjoy.

[@terrymorris1687]

My favorite KZbin Channel!!!!

[@donnierigaziojr947]

Not only have applied your panfish techniques, which has increased my ability to catch bigger fish, but also more when everyone isn’t doing as well but your unashamed talk of Jesus is what really hooked me.. be blessed RGTFM and keep on planting those seeds…

[@fiendfrank]

Love seeing you tear up panfish. I gotta ask, what brand line do you use? I'm having a tough time finding quality 2lb hi vis line.

[@barryrankin587]

Amen!! Usually no matter what I’m fishing for, I have a bluegill pole rigged up. Was my first love and will always be that. I have to agree, best tasting fish ever. Thank you for sharing.

[@Ozarksoutdoors8]

Thank you for all you do and for boldly sharing your faith brother!!!

[@kenelliott846]

Richard you are the best on youtube,no one even comes close to you,thank you for taking the time to show how you catch the fish and what to use, you have taught me so much about fishing and life itself,God is great! God bless you and moma sue always! 😇

[@calebcunningham4542]

Awesome video! Thank you for being such a great, patient, thoughtful teacher!

[@winstonc.2509]

Fishing with light line is one of my favorite things to do now thanks you RGTFM.

[@NanoFishRoom8]

Same here

[@reggieheidelberg2363]

Brother I can truly say I love watching your videos, not only because I love to fish, and watch you fish, but also because you share the Lord. You never know how God may use your videos to reach someone. I love you my brother! Keep up the good work!

[@pamartin]

"That grunt is me restraining myself". I heard the same grunt from a better hunter than I, as he restrained himself from pulling the trigger on an out of season deer as his rifle was brought up and in his sight. I heard the grunt milliseconds before I saw the deer bounding off. All I could think of was the restraint as this beauty jumped and ran. Sad to say...my rifle never came up. Yeah, he was better than me... GREAT word at the end, credit where it belongs! Praise God and the blessings of our Lord, Jesus, the Christ!

[@CharlesPaich]

Richard Gene, Thank you for being such an awesome brother. In Christ, but also being for being a representative for the sport of fishing. To take your time to share your knowledge the way you do it touch my heart. God Bless you for what you do.

[@scottmcley5111]

[@4heunkn0wn]

That line is good casting feel with crappie jigs, I just strung mine up with that around 2 weeks ago and its been a good experience so far, caught crappie, largemouth, carp, spotted bass, smaller catfish, all with good feel casting and thump feel

[@shuanthonyclayton6879]

Keep on fishing 🎣, you're the best when it comes to fishing. You deserve a TV career, we love you down in little rock. Keep up the amazing videos

[@NanoFishRoom8]

Great video and information 😊 I found some big bluegill in a creek recently that never were there before and been catching them on red worms, trout magnets and spinners 😊 I kept one for my aquarium and the rest I'm stocking my pond with lol

[@michaelrogers4285]

God Bless you, Mama Sue, and the rest of your family 🙏. Thank you for all you do my friend.

I love your adrelagin problem, lol! Been awhile since you belted out a good Wooo! Thanks for your lessons in life and fishin and pitting good clean and comedic videos! I'm still looking forward to a fishin trip myself, 2 jobs and wife and kids fills up the days. May God continue blessing you! Can't wait for the next video!!!

[@PassivePortfolios]

If it makes you feel any better about the hot weather, in Central Florida the temperature and humidity are both the same - 95. Your ultra light outfit is almost like fly fishing, just amazing skills. Thank you for another great video. I hope you get to 500k subscribers soon.

[@virglenucomabottomlee1990]

The limit on Lake Guntersville on bream/bluegill is 50 & 30 on crappie. Still loved the video though !!!

[@BrettLloyd-g7f]

Jesus Christ saved my soul too, and I'm so thankful. God bless you and hope to see you on the water one day.

[@DixieNormous1]

You should do a clean and cook episode sometime. I know they cook them in different parts of the country. They became my new favorite fish to fish for .I used to target bass but they’re too far and few and they’re not very good to eat.

Beautiful Testimony brother, keep it up. But one day I am going to have to show you all what an ultralight rod and reel is. Your rod and reel are HUGE compared to what I fish with..

[@BiggFishTV]

Do you have a video that shows how you like to prepare these Bluegill/Shell Crackers ? Thanks in advance

[@williamturner6882]

Growing up, bluegill meant dinner. Now I just love to fish for them. People can keep their bass and crappie. There is nothing better than a mess of gills. Now I am trying to learn to jig for them like you do.

[@robertcaldwell7918]

Fantastic Video Richard Gene the fishing machine........

[@bradley7013]

Definitely right with the casting. It’s a lot of just swinging that bait on some 2lb. I swear if I can’t get some 2lb and I have to use 4lb it feels like I’m fishing with a tv cord. My brother swears up and down that the 2 lb is no good. I’m glad to hear someone else saying it too

[@jeffcarpenter5818]

Thank you we enjoy watching and learning from your fishing experience knowledge and skill! there is so much nonsense on tv and yes youtube it is good when we meet folks that are willing to lift up and share our Lord this ole world needs that!! more than ever! God Bless you and your house

Hey Mr. Richard, I love your videos, just wanted to say you can get a polarized lens for your gopro that'll cut down some of the reflection on the water. Then we'll be able to see those huge beds better! Woooooooo!

Where does one buy 1/80th or 1/100th of an oz jug heads? The smallest I can find is 1/32 oz.

[@jaynedaily6080]

Curious...do you fillet these or cook whole?

[@nospam3409]

Easiest way to catch bluegill is to fish the beds when they are on them. It doesn't really matter what you use. I've caught them on cheap beetle spins, small cheap jig heads, and even small crank bates, and of course live bait. When they are on their beds, it's easy to catch a bunch in a short period of time. The hard part for me is getting a chance to go at that time. Finding the beds depends on the lake. Polarized sun glasses help a lot, but sometimes the beds are deep enough and the water is murky enough that you just can't see them. If you're on smaller body of water where you might not want to over fish it, try to fish just outside the beds. Those fish are not normally as big, but they try to mess with the beds that the big gills are protecting. Fishing those gills keeps the population healthier in ponds like that.

[@Shaboiiii]

Great stuff brother

[@GettingBentWithBo]

what trolling motor you got on your jon boat? I am going to get myself a jon boat soon and I will be looking for a trolling motor.

[@rickrogers8455]

You are the man Richard Gene! Thank yiu for honoring the Lord!!!

[@Jasonrader-xu3cv]

Mr. Gene, Love your channel, and the character you display in all of your videos! I’m not a big “KZbin” guy but I always make sure I catch as many of your videos as I can! Just wondering if you have ever fished bluegill (especially when on their beds) with a clear casting bobber and a cricket on about a 4’ leader? Basically makes the cricket a top water presentation, and if you are throwing over beds, it’s absolutely deadly! I used to ride my bike to a lake about 5 miles from my house when I was a kid, and would always come back with a stringer full for dinner! Anyway, love your videos, and if you’ve ever fished this way, I would love to see a video on it! God Bless, and keep on fishin… cause it’s good fer ya!😊
