Switching Up Your Tactics - Live Bait vs. Artificial Lures

[@lexingtonff]

Buddy, when I’m tired and don’t feel like doing much I watch a few of your videos and it inspires me and gets me out to the water. And I’m always glad that I went, even when the fish aren’t responding. I love that you show that you don’t need a big new boat or super expensive gear to go out and have fun. You should have your own tv show, you represent regular folks and I love it. Keep up the great work!!!

[@BRIZZY-fq5jw]

Richard is by far the realest in the game!!2nd to none!!

[@kevendahl3907]

my favorite catching fish of all--the smallie..not for eatin ,but for jumpin and fightin.

[@DieterMelhorn]

I like your little "fishing hut", and I would make sure I had a bunk there in case momma ran me out!! Today I gave you a big shout out in my live fishing video here on KZbin. I'm going to try some of your techniques this winter. Keep up the great content! I really look forward to getting the notification that your videos are up!

[@SouthWestIron]

I was thinking the same thing. Wish he'd go into detail on his boats.

[@ljpatterson01]

Love watching you Gene, you really bring excitement to watching you fish. I’ve learned a few things from watching you fish, and appreciate all your videos. Long live Gene the fishing machine. God bless you my friend.

[@francesstarnes8821]

My husband and I look forward to watching your videos. You are amazing!!!

[@markcarman9042]

Good to see you out floating again fishing !

[@mikebryant9493]

Richard, you remembered your net!!!

[@mkdelauro8235]

Yet another notable --- EXCELLENT video. Thanks Mr. Gene.

[@williamc7460]

A bad day on the lake is still better than a great day at work great videos.

[@CrappieCom]

Another awesome one Richard. Always a pleasure to go video fishing with you.

[@450jgh]

Another classic is the ole usual "Yaw catchin em aww". Poor ole me, I got a mud motor on my boat too so I get "whut kinna moter is at" every time I go haha. Great video as usual. The Duck River lake in Cullman is good fishing already too. It's a 25hp max motor size and they temporarily have special creel limits but it has been a blast fishing a new lake. I've already seen some pretty decent bass caught. The crappie are still fairly small but there is a lot of them.

[@KennyP56]

Great show as always Fishing Machine! Enjoy your explanations on baits & when, where & how to fish them. You are always a fun hoot to watch as well!

[@michaelpacini1332]

Excellent video ! Wooo patience is a virtue and when it comes to fishing Mr Gene you got it ! Thanks again for another wonderful video

[@JimbobZ17]

Good video Gene👍🏻 that’s about the only technique I use unless I throw a crank bait. Thanks for ALL the great videos you have made .Really enjoy watching.

[@Calm_Relax_Fish]

Your right I went fishing yesterday Elmer and they weren't biting right. Lol

[@philmcatchm3188]

[@randyleasure8763]

Richard dab burn you, you know you could have caught more fish and would look tons better waring a Gamecock Hat. But God Bless you any way. U da man. Love your show.

[@thurminatorfishing206]

Richard gene get you some gene lerew tattle tails and put them on a 1/8 th ounce shakey head. Green pumpkin with the tip of the tail dipped in chartreuse, with a slow drag and pause. Its a smallmouth killer, will catch spots and largemouth as well.

[@SKyNeT948]

Good Morning Sir!

[@mikefrank4880]

That “little” smallmouth is about the size of the biggest one I ever caught !

[@jeffyoung2089]

👍👍 nice fish!

[@SouthWestIron]

Been watching the machine for a while now. Anyone out there seen Richard delve into his boats? Descriptions of how he has them rigged up and what makes and models he uses?

[@nathansomers7388]

I think Elmo was about to say a peter joke😂

[@gillgetter3004]

Tough fishn up north here in Michigan too. Try a tube bait for them smallmouth they really like them. Long and lanky bass??? Been catch’n them too. Why are they like that this time of year . Maybe using lots of energy chasing baitfish?

[@chrisyates2649]

Was that largemouth tagged Richard?

[@mc2000Gmc]

Great show brother. Hope your arm is ok ya musta smarted off to your wife!I've got me a mean old woman too😂👍🏻👍🏻

[@Z71Ranger]

How far up the Tennessee River do you have to go to catch Small Mouth Bass as from the Comer Bridge?

[@FishingWithBIGD]

another great episode man, what's with the wrist hope all is well

[@diquondiallo8982]

I've been experiencing the same thing when live bait fishing. I can see the bigger fish but they're lethargic lol .

[@michaelswincicki4042]

MY,BEST,FISHING,IS,CRAPPIE,IN,THE,FALL,WHEN,IT,,HEATS,UP,HERE,IN,OHIO,,,GETTING,READY,NICE,SHOW,,

[@HumbraHongryMHC]

Gots To When To Use Which

[@normandorough4359]

Richard gene wearing shades. Never seen that ...

[@TheRiffingFatboy]

I don't think I've ever caught a smallmouth in my life fishing out here in Oklahoma...

[@OneCreate.]

Hope your arm feels better the one that has the white gauze looking stuff on it.

[@MrFurflyin]

What did you do to your wrist?

[@prevost8686]

Fall will be here shortly.

[@FishingLakeCountry]

Just put that meathead on a slider jig head, 1/8 oz. will do the trick. A go to bait for all bass.

[@Jason_Scott80]

Wow, Richard is human after all lol

[@alextamas7936]

so what is the actual conclusion plastic vs real?

[@coolmantoole]

If you haven't had a doctor take a look at your skin on wrist around your watch, you need to. I'm not one to talk. I procrastinate on stuff like that too. But seriously, if someone hasn't taken a look at that they need to. Great show though. The bight has been really tough here in SE Georgia too.

[@preston_k]

Do a meet up with bama bass

[@romanmoroni2785]

You’re the best

[@hunterguy4630]

I’m so ready for fall fishing. Down here all the speckled trout go up river and it’s a slay fest.

[@Hueso951]

Man I've been getting skunked lately lol I'll take any fish at this point 😂🤣😂🤣

[@MARTIN-ez2xh]

SEI TROPPO FORTE 😎😎😎

[@codybryant8684]

[@paulprude2841]

[@agoodlandlord]

[@swamppappy7745]

Catching all those fish put a hurting on your wrist!?

[@Z71Ranger]

I saw that to... I was waiting to see if a Ala-gator Gar got a hold of his wrist...

[@adamparsons1725]

Richard, What the heck did you do to your Wrist? NOODeling Catfish...or blood sacrifice to the Small Mouth Gods? Worry about ya sometimes,Brother. That heat can make ya do some weird stuff!
