A SIMPLE Way To Catch Walleye and Sauger

[@sammyvh11]

Richard I watch many fishing channels. The sport has become very elite and requires milion dollar plus life styles to compeat, buy boats and tackle etc. Its is so refreshing to watch you and others like The Old Fisherman do it the old fashion way with alot less $$$. Keep up the good work.

[@JustJoyHowdy]

Yea. I don't watch the fancy pants ones. The down home ones are the best.

[@DV-ol7vt]

I have some expensive to me rod n reels but for some reason I catch more fish on a zebco 33. I wish I figured that out a long time ago, I could have saved some money.

[@michaelmosley254]

Here in Tn the walleye has to be 16 ins and sauger 15 nice video and good eating

[@AnticipateTheBite]

Im kinda trying to base my channel around that concept. Wears me out seeing folks getting so intense with their gear and over the top approach. But as Richard Green would say. Its a matter of opinion :)

[@buffalorider3579]

I've about quit watching other fishing channels, especially the hifalutin' ones. Enjoy Richard Gene more and learn more from him too.

[@Twistedstar0320]

My grandmother had your accent, she lived in Dothan Alabama. She passed away this morning. Listening to you talk is comforting. I love your channel.

[@memptn01]

Why is "Clarence is going bald-headed" so funny to me. I rewound it like 10 times & couldn't stop laughing.

[@dentonhahn2907]

Richard Gene Sir you are truly a blessing! Not enough folks like you around. God bless you!

[@sunfishassassin5963]

Can you imagine getting to see richards outtro live in person. He made those guys trip right there..fish on Mr Gene

[@CraigArndt]

I laughed out loud, Clarence is goin' bald headed. LOL!

[@cwulfoutdoors318]

Man that was awesome what you did there giving those fish to those gentlemen after you were talking about taking them home. Not many people are that generous. 👏

[@servingme09]

Very kind of you to share your catch with fellow anglers, speaks well of your nature and outlook on life. Guess that's why you have a loyal following. Best of luck to you and family.

[@12ArmyNavy12]

Can't say that I have ever caught any sauger or walleye on the Tennessee River but I have fished the Ohio River below the dam in Louisville since I was a boy around 12-13 years old. Sauger are my favorite eating fish. My wife use to love them as well. Looks like you had a great day on the water, thanks for sharing.

[@OhK586]

Mr. Richard Gene, every time I watch your videos, I’m transported back to my childhood, fishing with my uncles and granddad. The only difference was their Minnesota accent 🙂. Never change, sir. I love your kind and helpful spirit.

[@arlaabrell8658]

I get transported too and just switch his accent with my aunt's soft Missouri accent and it's like listening to her. She was born in Germany but came here when she was just 5 years old so lost all of the German influence and picked up the Missouri.

[@matthewwilliams7735]

RGTFM you never cease to make me smile, I love the subtle WOO after you dropped that 1st sauger in the bucket lol. Whether my grandson and I are fishing or hunting we always give out a WOOO!!! God Bless you and yours and everyone!

[@donovanb9020]

Good day made even better with a new video by none other than The Machine himself. "Go fishing when you can! Cuz it's gooood fer ya!" It's 100% true. When I caught the virus, I couldn't go to practice or work so, I just went fishing while I dealt with it. Thankfully, I didn't have life threatening symptoms but, being out in the fresh air and sunlight whilst catching fish kept my spirits up which I firmly believe is what helped me bounce back in a few days without major complications.

[@YT-BenG]

I played the old C 19 card at work in spring of 2020 lol 10 days of getting paid fishing the crappie spawn

[@joeblo2215]

A walkthrough of your rods and equipment in your shed would make a great video. As long as you've be in the sport it would be awesome to see your collection.

[@barryschendel7183]

You are a great fishing man love ya for giving them fish to a man who needs to eat that means a lot to me a friend from Wisconsin

[@Jewelrymaker]

You're a generous man and a great teacher. God Bless ya!

[@timothycrum3411]

My favorite fishing channel to watch. I learn so much from you. Your knowledge is great.

[@jameslary2528]

It’s so good to see you back , glad you recovered well !

[@bigbkeepitreelfishing]

Love you brother Rich! You are a blessing to us all. Work less fish more fisher of men. Much love and blessings in Jesus name.

[@benjamintraxler9931]

Love all of your videos brother. I have learned so much from you. I can’t even fish for walleye out here in California and I still thoroughly enjoy watching and listening to all your tips and tricks. Thank you and God bless 🙏.

[@carlitoforte259]

Brother, I'm from San Diego born and raised now living in Stl👉🏿I literally drive or have my connection to Michigan send me some Walleye 👉🏿It'll give Crappie a run for the money.....

[@handcannon1388]

I enjoyed your back-to-basics approach. It's also refreshing to see someone who still fishes with a primary goal of catching something to eat, but still keeps selective harvest in mind.

[@rcsutter]

Looks like fun. Those Zebco Cardinal 4 reels sure bring back a lot of great memories. My grandfather and uncle both used them in the 60s - 70s. Fine reels made by Abu/Sweden sold by Zebco, smooth and tough. The second I saw those reels I could smell my grandfather's pipe tobacco. Thanks for that. He passed many years ago. I grew up in Tulsa, OK where Zebco made their famous "33" and others, so it was popular brand name in the area. It was originally called the Zero Hour Bomb Company. They made time bombs used in the oil drilling business before fishing reels. My aunt worked at the Tulsa Zebco plant for years assembling reels. They were a respected and popular brand then. People loved the spincast models, no more backlashes (casting reels were pretty basic back then, no magnets).

[@BElder762]

Richard,I’ve got a brother that catches fish like you.He’s the funniest person I’ve ever met! You need to fish with him. You would have a great time.And meet a friend for life.And that is second to none.Justin Elder!!

[@nomadpartyof4]

Best part about your videos is the end. I love it! Never stop!

[@Pompano-gy5nj]

So happy to see you keeping fish...and then you give them away! Bah ha ha ha....you made their day. Also, kudos on that bronzeback release...dunno if I coulda done the same in that situation. Love seeing the old, old reels you're using too. Perhaps some yesteryear, 'oldtime mojo' helping you out some, not that you need it. Thanks again for showing us how, Richard.

[@Rnnurse2023]

Just wanna say my husband loves your show . He is a crappie fisherman as first choice then walleye . He laughs and acts like a kid watching you . Congratulations on such a wonderful channel .

[@kenelliott846]

Thank You Richard for all you do the help us catch more fish!!! Great video and info!!!

[@ok-qx8ez]

Man I felt that sacrifice 😂 Give and it shall be given unto you pressed downed, rolled over, And shaken. GOD Bless merry Christmas.

[@jonstokes3122]

Thank you Richard! Your video’s are always packed with info!

[@barrywarren4221]

Richard your a real down to earth fishing man. I learn alot from the videos you share. Thanks Very much.

[@NomadSep]

Perfect video topic and timing as I am going out for sauger and walleye this weekend! Gonna try this technique. Great video Richard, Keep em coming!

[@philemonholmes2059]

Sir just like to say I enjoy watching your channel. I have learned so much. Thank you for what you do.

[@OntheRealFishing]

God bless you Richard! Thank you for sharing your gift and continue to promote the sport that is second to none. 😉

[@tracymeadows3442]

All I can say is… I LOVE YA RICHARD!! You are a good man giving those fish away like that❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯💯 GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@denmar355]

Love your channel RG! I’m northeast of you near Maryville, TN. I used to live in Huntsville. You make a lot of common sense. Love your simple approach and use of common rigs. Appreciate what you share and hope your channel continues to do so well. God Bless.

[@GetchaName]

I haven't seen your videos in quite a while, glad to see you back in action.

[@tominman2994]

Thank you RGTFM!!. I was out last week and caught 5 walleyes at 20 inches. You're right about fighters! They are fun, fun ,fun!!

[@TJgaming123]

Such a kind and gentle man.

[@paulharwood1281]

As normal Richard another Great Video and learning instructions. And May Our LORD RICHLY BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. MERRY CHRISTMAS, and a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

[@michaelbean5241]

Mr. Richard Gene the Fishing Machine! Im very excited to see a new video about sauger at the tva! God bless you and your family, here's to tight lines!

[@egee.sheeva6672]

Rich, I like the way you talk kindly to the fish, treating him or her in a Gaddabout Gaddis sort of way with humility and virtuosity both. Your camera work on the Tenn-river showing the hooking and the battle gives freshness to each battle, and a stronger feeling than any writing about it could do. My guess is the great days of the fishing writers and the Outdoor Life recollections are all but gone. Probably gone forever to the nifty hanging or arc-camera and the panorama shots by the drifter-fisherman. I lived through both eras, as you have, and the time of popular tales and the drawn and building of memories is shortened today reduced to a 15-minute film, which like the good story-teller of old, has to keep the story in the film 'an unbroken thread'. You do a fine job of that in this film and story.

[@MrFish-jh6lz]

Try fishing for walleye and sauger at night. Up here in the northeast they are more active at night. Love your videos Richard! I really appreciate you teaching people that having fun while fishing is what it's all about!

[@MrFish-jh6lz]

We don't have sauger up here but the walleye are more active at night

[@scotthoughton7245]

New to your channel today. Awesome, you can't beat down to earth man of the regular folks. I'll definitely keep watching.

[@adamalbert7856]

Nice video!! Big sauger..and you gave them away to two other gentlemen, Class Act.

[@ryanwilcox8866]

Love the videos! Can someone tell me why these fish are there?

[@overthelimitp4275]

Richard Gene , you've gotten very popular since I last texted you last .You are the AL Linder and Babe Winkilman of the soutn ,and thanks for walleye ,sauger vid . It was very cool watching you and Jimmy Houston together . Best of luck to you .

[@nFISHnNation]

A true gentleman through and through ! I love the vintage reels ! God Bless You !

[@sethk2203]

Richard your level of sportsmanship is truly impressive. Giving those fish to those other anglers just shows what an unselfish person you are. You are truly a class act my friend. I'm from the Birmingham area and would love to get the opportunity to meet and fish with you some day. Stay safe out there.

[@martydunn298]

[@jettyman54]

Hey man. I really enjoyed your video. I am from Alabama and fished the Tennessee Warrior, and Coosa Rivers for many years. Down here in Florida catching Trout, Redfish, Flounder and more inshore salt now. Keep 'em coming!

[@winfieldholbrook5167]

Thank Richard for another entertaining and informative video. By the way I’m currently working on a 16/48 Lowe big Jon for years I have admired the very neat cut outs you made in your wood for the cross braces in the bottom of your boat. I keep watching and hoping you will share the method you use. Thanks again. 👍

[@team_dadbods]

It was great meeting you! And thankyou for the fish! Haha

[@martinquintana5837]

Good to see you Richard,great content on this video. Them some nice groceries you blessed those people with. I hope you enjoyed the outcome of that SEC Championship game this past Saturday. "ROLL TIDE ". Anyways stay safe out there and have a blessed day.Aloha from Kansas

[@FishinNFreedom1776]

I have two of them aqua culture pumps in my bait tank. Its 200 gal and it keeps blugill and bullheads for months! Good pumps. Great vid!

[@beebop9808]

Awfully nice of you to give those boys those fine eating fish. I grew up on Walleye in the NC mountains. The only Sauger I ever caught was in the French Broad river in Madison county NC when they would spawn up the river out of Lake Douglas near Knoxville TN every spring. Pretty hefty haul they made to get up that far.

[@jackparks1260]

Love to see you using the older reels, I like to mix it up

[@rickysmith4557]

Holly smokes, you are the man using the Zobco cardinal 4's. I still use my Zebco Cardinal 3's and 4's. They are the best old school reels on the planet.

[@Rod-N-Reel]

You are truly a blessing to a Walleye and Crappie angler like me, learned a lot watching your channel here in Canada. Merry Christmas to you and to all your followers. God Bless!

[@brettcox7941]

Your bumper clamp design is very clever.

[@deraldspringer6989]

Great idea with the bumpers. I'm going to steal that idea. Thanks

[@richardkunz9004]

Looks like you’re going to have to add on to your fish shed . WOOOO ! Make room for Elmo !

[@terrywells3955]

Theyyyyyyyy wooooo got that limit time to roll . Great video Mr . Richard god bless you and your family

[@herbertd.fischer2789]

Richard Gene I didn't exactly understand what those fish were you were catching but None the less I Always enjoy watching your channel and learning something new

[@exitar1]

That reel is a classic!!

[@d5ncat227]

Hey Richard, I took a deep breath when I saw u using a genuine cardinal 4,I have several and still use them today , probably the best spinning reel made

[@scottbrach2888]

Love ya gene! I hook my minnows same as you, and can honestly say that I have NEVER had one die on the hook that wasn't explicitly attacked by a larger fish. This shit works folks!

[@jimtillery9741]

Richard gene. Bless you and Merry Christmas from Colorado. Keep up the good work and awesome fishing videos. You’re the best my friend!!

[@CooperJones777]

We moved to TN two years ago. Still haven't caught my first walleye. The state motto here should be "Welcome to TN, hope you own a boat. "

[@RealMakoi]

Well, finally! I have been waiting for a walleye video! Minnows on a hook simple! And it was a dinner fishing trip too. Bonus! Sorry you only got the one, but you know where they live! Do it again using an ultra-lite Ugly Stik and a Shimano Spirex! Sporty!!

[@stevethebarber1]
