THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!

[@N6570J]

I love it Gene, you're out fishing in the cold while I'm kicking back with warm cup of coffee and enjoying every minute! You make me feel like I'm in the boat with you. :-) Keep up the great videos. (Even the slowest fishing video is 10 times better than the garbage on TV now days.)

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much Flying2low! Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@gtrevino50]

Born and raised in Texas and moved to Illinois 14 years ago and was introduced to ice fishing - man, nothing like it! You need to head up north and do a hard water fishing video next winter!

[@johnmills925]

Gene, you always say thank you for watching at the end of the videos, but I'd like to say thank you for making such great videos for us to enjoy. God bless you and yours.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much for that comment John! God bless brother!

[@ph00z00]

Thanks Richard! I really enjoyed that video. I think you got a total of 5 species there. Good multi species outing! I'd have kept some of those bass for eating, especially if they were out of spring water.

[@gregmiller1844]

Nice job! I understand why Elmo stayed home.....that is what I did during that cold spell.

[@dirtlooter6180]

the yellow bass are very good eating for sure. I don't care for white bass, hybrids or stripers and for years I wrongly assumed that the yellows would taste like them. no limit on them here in Arkansas

[@Walt1119]

BBRRRRRR I remember wearing those snow mobile suits fishin when I lived up north!!!! No more of that for me, live down south now... Turned out a really great day of fishin!! I love catching all those different species!! thanks for sharing with us!

[@russellself3140]

Thanks Richard for another GREAT video !!!! Really enjoyed seeing the all the different types of fish you caught. ROLL TIDE ~ NATIONAL CHAMPIONS !!!!!!!!!

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

I love going back watching old RGTFM vids man they never get old

[@joegrande4848]

Looks like it's a striped bass day instead of crappie Richard. No harm in that awesome videos as always. 😎😎😎😃

[@garyc8208]

[@markwithers9468]

[@johncooper997]

You caught darn near every kind of fish Gene !!

[@loutippey9792]

Deadgum Richard Gene you are a tuff one being out in that 20 degrees temp with a water temp of 35 degrees. And in spite of all of that you end up catching stripped bass, white bass, yellow perch, crappies and bluegills. You da man on Lake Guntersville. We got some chilly low 30 degree weather over here in Texas right now. Too cold for me to get out there.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Lou! I don't blame you a bit! I'm ready for this arctic blast to be over with!

[@jbb9800]

The yellow bass are good eating. They are equivalent to white bass only they grow smaller. There is no limit in Texas. Elmo and Jean get thumbs up from me! 🐟

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Brad!

[@richardwarmack287]

[@hodge726]

Up here in Tennessee those white bass and yellow bass fry up nice..😁😁 Another excellent video.👍👍

[@AtypicalOutdoors]

Same here Richard.....last week was my first time every dealing with ice on ponds and lakes in GA!! Looks like you still had a good time. When you catch that many fish in one day it's fun, regardless of the species! Tight Lines!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Agreed 100%! I can't wait until this arctic blast is over!

[@virginias1538]

Enjoy your shows! White bass are delicious. Give them a try. We don’t have yellow strippers up north. Thank you for all you do.

[@pearlycharles]

Continuous action from the start!! Those white bass fights really hard. Great video Mr. Gene.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you pearly Charles!!

[@steveworrell8401]

Now how can anybody with their right mind give ELMO a thumb's down.. Are they crazy!!

[@markblix6880]

Not once has any of them downers left an explanation. If we didn't have dummies would we be smart?

[@isaiahgauthier2176]

Steve Worrell must be hating democrats.

[@jeromedwojak918]

Richard, wonderful fishing! I enjoyed your vid roughing it on a cold day. It's always enjoyable to catch fish whatever species that are

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you very much Jerome! Because of the weather condition, I'm catching what ever i can. It's good to know that you and other people still enjoy them! Thank you brother!

[@johnhickman930]

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank ye John!

[@johnhickman930]

Anytime Richard Gene 🖒

[@daletann5398]

White Bass gill plates r sharp as razors, and they love blur tubes!

[@bassanglerxxx8444]

Dale Tann I've heard a lot about them

[@gillgetter3004]

Nice variety didnt know they had yellow perch down there. I have braved blizzards and temps -0 to drill holes in the ice for those. Some fine eating!!!! Another great one Richard. Keep dodgin them ice bergs ( I hate the noise on the boat too)

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Bruce and will do!

[@FishingLakeCountry]

Good deal, fun day, Here in Va, Today I took a 2=4 and tryed to break the ice at the ramp, It was about 2 inches thick and as far as I could see it was soild, Its going to be awhile before fishing.

[@chrisbrown2276]

After watching that think I'm gonna have to brave the cold and do some fishing in the morning.. central Texas got hit with another cold front around 2 o'clock this afternoon.. keep up the good work if I don't catch any I'll just head home and watch more of your videos and drink some coffee in front of the fire.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Sounds like a great plan Ashton! lol Good luck on your trip my friend

[@stardust1621]

Those "bar Bass" are the members of the hybrid Bass like white bass and striper family . GREAT EATING!! We call those yellow bass here in Arizona. Sam

[@robertmiller6135]

Richard was on the money this day, he could have had a great fish fry!

[@scottsix8765]

Love your videos, have really ramped up my crappie game watching them...keep fishing cause it is good for ya.

[@markblix6880]

Southern version of ice fishing. No need for an ice auger or tip up

[@royceabbottsexcavation3709]

One of the best videos I’ve saw you put out.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Royce Abbott!

[@davidjones6911]

I have days fishing like that too. Can't even catch a crappie but catch everything else. Love them vids keep em coming cause they good fer me lol. Roll tide

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you David! Roll Tide!

[@losdosranchosfarm1850]

You are a fishing machine !!!

[@flannel872]

Richard Gene, you need to catch a mess of yon yeller perch and bring them inside and warm them up with a cornmeal jacket! Maybe even do a side by side comparison to them Canjun bars. I've never thought much of white bass, since they tend to be kinda gamey and mushy, but hey you had some great action fishing that wind-blown bank. God bless you.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you habeas corpus! Sound like a good game plan to me! God bless my friend!

[@WorkingClassOutdoors]

another good vid Gene!!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Working Class Outdoors!

[@daneastin3960]

Great video Richard I am from up North and I was cracking up when you was going through the ice I know that's got to be different for you I was on the lake day before yesterday 7in ice.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

It is very different for me Dan lol. I wouldn't know what to do with 7in ice!

[@mknewlan67]

Richard Gene The Fishing Machine you sit inside drinking a hot cup of joe, watching the strange ones fish in 7 inches of ice!

[@snuggalufagusjambuddy7303]

With careful research and screening.I have created a list of the best fishermen of all times from around the states. #1 Richard Gene The Fishing Machine ! I enjoy watching you catch them yellow bass.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much James! That means a lot my friend!

[@jphillips4371]

In Texas we call them barfish and largemouth love eating them and they aren’t bad eating, they taste just like sandbass aka white bass

[@jomikesimpson3122]

Gene. You crack me up with your sense of humor but damn boy can you catch some slabs..... been enjoying your videos for a couple years now and don't think I know anyone that catches the quantity and quality of slabs like you do. Keep up the work. Maybe someday Elmo will get out of the house and go with you lol

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much Mike! Maybe one day he will!

[@zachrichie3113]
