When the fishermen did as Jesus told them, they caught
so many fish that the nets began to break.
GOD BLESS AND THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!

Something about the way Richard Gene talks- it just makes me smile. I don’t care what he says !

[@charlesthomas7832]

My name is Charles Thomas and l am from Chicago, Illinois and just want to say that I love your fishing videos on KZbin I have watched just two so far and look forward to watching more. You are a very good person to follow on how to catch fish. Thank you for your techniques.

[@therealgregroot]

Richard, this is Greg from Huntsville. I sure do love your videos. You have taught me so much over the last few years. Thank you Sir, I appreciate everything you do.

[@josephmurray4866]

Richard I am disabled and in a Nursing Home. I absolutely love to watch a video from you. I miss my fishing here in the Lake Murray, SC area. I miss so much getting outside and doing some fishing & hunting. Keep up the Video’s and tell Elmo I miss meeting him. Andy

[@mike-bj4dk]

[@wjjmlg]

[@dioad1739]

I’m 60 and my Dad used a Mitchell 300 he loved it I don’t know how old it is but my older brother still has it today, I really enjoy your videos Richard you’re second to none.

[@michaelcapellupo1724]

[@austinbennett6414]

Learning a lot from the ole Richard Gene THE FISHING MACHINE!!

[@sammarkey672]

Over the last year he has reminded me of the fun to be had fishing with live bait.

[@chrisbayne6738]

Hahaha... I got the kayak loaded and read to go in the morning with worms. And come in and sit down and there this video pops up.... Woooooo

[@labarronwatson1547]

Y

[@joshf5832]

Absolutely love your old school, simple, and budget friendly fishing techniques. You remind me a lot of an old Christian man that used to take me fishing and taught me a lot of the same techniques you use. He still uses an old Mitchell 300 just like you have in this vid too. May God bless you Fishing machine and hope you are able to continue sharing your knowledge and good hearted nature for many years.

[@louisianag]

This man is going to hit 250k subs by end of year I believe. Incredible..

[@derick2986]

I hope it's in the next couple months cause he deserves it

[@adamhalstead2561]

Seriously..America really needs Richard Gene especially now more than ever..

[@0tt0z]

Me and my 5 yr old son love your videos. We have learned so much. We have a good time even if we don't catch anything.

[@jollycooperator2876]

The best fishing channel on KZbin! Keep up the great work! WOOOO!

[@itagbbnnews247]

I don't eat catfish, but I do like watching you fish/catch!! God bless!!

[@Placeholder476]

For your viewing pleasure 12:42 "He's going to bite me" Sticks thumb in catfish mouth "Owe owe owe!"

[@billlittle9741]

RICHARD GENE I LIKE THE NO WEIGHT METHOD; I LOST A BOTTOM WEIGHT ONCE AND JUST REMEMBERED THATS WHEN I WAS CATCHING 2LB CHANNEL CATS ON DEEP FORK RIVER HERE IN OKLAHOMA CITY AREA. CAUGHT A FEW IN THE TWO TO THREE LB RSNGE AND SOME MISSISSIPPI WHITES TOO ( PRETTY CATFISH )

[@klingonsexy]

That's about the size of the first flathead I ever caught, last Tuesday! I was so excited to know there were flatheads in my local lake! I have learned so much about fishing from you that I might actually be good at it one day!

[@jimbeats3733]

If you caught it in a freshwater lake it was probably a bullhead

[@klingonsexy]

LOL

[@joegrande4848]

Best way to get good is get out there and fish. Keep it basic super simple. 3 rigs I use 7 inch leader with a size 1, 4 or 6 baitholder hook. Tie leader line with baitholder hook a strong unit knot. The put a bobber 10 inches above where leader is tied to main line. Another rig 7 inch leader line. Put a 1/10 oz egg weight on 1st. Then, Tie 7 inch leader with baitholder to main line. This will cause rig to slow sink. Once line settles pop rod tip let line settle. Do this 3 times then slow half reel turn. Let line settle then repeat. Finally a drop shot with 12 inch leader. In hot or cold weather use a 6 to 8 inch leader with a 1/8 or 1/4 oz weight. No more than 1/2 to get distance

[@joegrande4848]

Then a few topwater lures. Kvd splash buzz bait a wake bait a kvd splash and a small lunkenhart frog. Last but not least a small spinner. A spinner you can fish near top middle and bottom water colomns

[@silvertaurus5369]

This is the funniest video he has done. I was rolling when he was talking about the birds bombing him. LOL!

[@murderfase82]

Best videos on KZbin! They always put a smile on my face and get me itch’n to go fish’n.

[@WestMichiganJigCo]

Those reels are beautiful!! That one that spins backwards gets me every time

[@jones10121970]

You are my favorite you tube channel to watch. Thank you for all the videos. I have learned a lot from watching.

[@markbell4017]

Biggest channel cat I ever caught, I caught with an ultra-light and 2 pound test line while bait fishing. That was fun! I would never have been able to land it had I been on the bank. The line would have broken. As it was it was all I could do to keep it from breaking my rod on the side of the boat. Ahhh memories....

[@RobewhO]

I've been watching for a couple years now and you're one of my favorite channels and personalities on KZbin. I've learned a lot from you and picked up tons of useful tips from your videos.. plus I'm from NW Georgia and have not only fished in a good many of the same places as yourself, but I've picked up some spots from you along the way.. whether you realized you were giving them away or not lol. I just have to say, though.. I've seen people give you tons of praise and leave you heartfelt messages and some other people ask you some pretty simple questions. I know if you get the same question enough you will make a video answering it, but it's been a very long time since I've seen you reply to anyone's comments directly or interact with your audience very much on a personal level. Unless I am missing them, I usually always browse the comments of your videos and never see you down there interacting with anyone. I know your channel has grown and you get way more comments than you can realistically reply to, but it just doesn't seem like you reply to anyone at all. It's just surprising to me considering you are such a seemingly friendly and outgoing guy. And I don't say any of that like I am trying to tell you how to run your channel since you know what you're doing, I only wonder why you don't interact with people more often and embrace the community you've created in a more personal way. People already love you, but if you went out of your way a little and reached out to the people in the comments, they'd love you even more. Being accessible goes a long way. I'm sure you probably won't even read any of this, and I am obviously not expecting a reply.. but regardless, thank you for doing what you do and taking the time to upload these videos and sharing your knowledge and experiences with us. As long as you keep it up, I'll keep watching. Take care.

[@mauricecarvin430]

Been waiting for this one since I saw you catch those fiddle worms

[@charlieboutin3341]

“There’s nothing wrong with that fish...sept for he’s got a hook in his mouth and I gotta get it out.” 😂 You’re the Best RGFM! Tell mama Sue Howdy. God Bless y’all. 🎣❤️✌️

[@punchfukker3383]

hey, it's the guy who recommended you to get forceps and I have another tip to share about @3:29; most of the nearest spots I hit are 90% nothing but baseball-to-basketball sized river rocks, so I use floating bottom bouncers that are designed for wally-trollin' to have a snagless weighted rig, effectively it's basically a crankable santee rig that you can drag to actually actively search for the cats.

[@randallpinkfloyd7225]

Love the Mitchell's and the good old timey worm fishing!

[@FishingwithLamJam]

Me too brotha

[@thumpman]

Perfect timing on the video. We had a bunch of rain today and I picked up at least 2 dozen giant earth worm for the morning.

[@NemoSteamo]

This is one of my favorite fishing channels!!!

[@BlacHaze78]

You are the man RG. Thanks to KZbin I feel like I’m fishing with you. You need your own show on TV.

[@mscollins7796]

Your the man, dont like ya turning them fish loose but I can live with it. I'd love to come fish with ya, know it'll never happen, but I'd love it. Your a character, your a fine man.

[@frankietorres5442]

Richard Gene if only I can fish with you one time brother!!! You’re an amazing person and a better fisherman!! God bless you brother! 🙏🏽

[@littlebullseye901]

"Hes going to bite me" as he put his thumb in his mouth.🤣🤣🤣 I enjoy your videos. I learn a ton.

[@amazingpeoplebyccc2197]

YOUR A OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!! FISHERMAN

[@allten_bullies206]

Bro you are a KZbin fishing legend . salute brother

[@cpowell4227]

Gene I've been watching you for 2 years almost . I've literally watched every single one you have put out. Some of them I several times. Your pure gold man . And appreciate you more than you'll ever know

[@brodywalker8579]

So knowledgable about not just fishing, but about so much of your equipment. You got me into buying vintage stuff and trying. Super fun to use the older stuff! Thanks Mr. Gene.

[@pursuingtheheartland3414]

Dandy day of channel catfishing. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jonathanwhite6881]

I'm talkin' bout "woooooo"!

[@stevenhartman254]

[@tmuss]

[@dillandrews7687]

[@jimmywilson1388]

Oh man, I laughed till I cried! Lmao that channel cat put a good one on that thumb… On it… 😆😂🤣 He latched on and shook it like a dadgum bulldog! Hahaha 😝

This place is beautiful, your fishing was incredible Congratulations, your fishing equipment is very good.👍🎣

[@Texas-Chris]

I stumbled upon your fishing videos and now they are some of my favorites. God Bless You and your continued adventures!!

[@haroldcale4767]

when you say ruu I think of an old song rubie don't take your love to town. lol

[@Odlonyer]

man that Richard Gene is a fishing machine!

[@gunners4129]

Some graphic designer out there's gotta be bored enough to make some Richard Gene shirts and promotions or something. Been waiting for this boy here to go viral for awhile now. Deserves the heck out of it. And Remember!! GO FISHING WHEN YOU CAN, CUZ ITS GOOD FER YA!

[@jessewood3164]

Hey Mr Gene From welch west virgini! Loved this video, as I am a bank fisherman right on a nice medium sized river that is a tributary to the Ohio called the new. I also fish with worms. Infact this summer which was my first summer on this river, I moved with my girlfriend right near the famous new river gorge national park area. From late may to end of June those channels have lock jaw and become scarce , however the flat heads keep me company. This river has just as many or more flats than channels. But like I was saying I caught every catfish I bait fished with this past summer on night crawlers. I tried everything under the sun. From craw dads helgrimites caltopa worms to chicken liver hot dog weenies, hell I even bought that store bought blood Bait that looks like deer poop and makes your hands stink for 3 days and isn't worth a plug nickel. The ole night crawler after a rain or earth worm under a board has never failed me. Have you ever guided ? If not have you considered it? And how about maybe this summer if you would like we could get together down on Guntersville which I've heard a lot about from people I've fished at her cousins house. That big pond Kentucky lake has been good to me over the years. But yes a lot of anglers has told me if I liked Kentucky lake I needed to fish it's sister Dale hollow and its cousin Guntersville. Message me back maybe we can get together and do it sometime. Love hybrid fishing , crappie , red ear and of course catfishing

[@stevenstockman8600]

Great channel by a great sportsman! Thanks fo all the tips and help as I try to learn to crappie fish on the river after years of bass fishing lakes. I’m actually starting to get bites thanks to you.

[@westsiderrider4937]

Great video Mr. Gene, I'm 42yo and the Mitchell 300 has been my favorite reel for the last 35yrs.

[@steptoeedwall2349]

Mr. Gene! Long time subscriber, and love what you got going on with your channel. You and the NDyak Angler inspired me to start fishing as an adult. After sorting through all the tiny cats, I finally landed me a 30'' channel cat on the Red River of the North. Thanks for the tips!

[@Richhatfield9568]

Thanks Richard for another great Video I love catching them catfish and I love them old reels...i have a couple of them 👍💪

[@scottcozart8950]

[@mikepiekarski7903]

My uncle still uses his mitchell. It still works like a dream they sure don't make em like th st any more. Reels really 70 years old. Nothen better than popping a coke open grabbing dome squirmies and fishing fir a few kitties. The blues near me have been running. Got a 20+ blue yesterday on cut shad. I usually use worm but they've been finicky recently. I'll take flatties That size all day. Fish on!👌👍😊

[@towncryerpointer6565]

Richard Gene, thank you so much for your videos. I have been watching you a long time and this is my first comment. I catch myself looking for a new video everyday and get aggravated when I don’t see a new one! Ha!! You have taught me so much and I love everything about you and Elmo. He needs to stay out of them beans 🤣 thanks again and woooooooohhhh

[@williambaker1753]

I like how you explain everything in your videos they are very educational go fishing when you can cause it's good fir ya

[@IAmHere..]

New to the channel love the videos and there’s some humor in them. keep up the good work

[@stephendonathan6782]

Richard that was another great video. All your videos are great but I like watching your videos when you use natural bait. That's the way I fish a lot. I'm just an old country boy from West Liberty Kentucky and we're only as old as we want to be is the way I look at it. One more keep the videos coming because it's gooood for ya and us too!

[@timfisher1376]

Also iv collected a bunch of the old Mitchell 300,324,308,and 310 reels but I haven't fished with one yet but after watching this video im gonna try it! I do have a vintage Olympic spinning reel of the same era that I serviced and it works like new I have used that reel its more of an ultralight reel but I took it creek fishing the other day and it worked flawlessly and was a blast catching fish on it!! I love the vintage reels !!👍👍👍

[@bradbeining3341]

Another good one. Glad I found this channel.

[@mybestlifeoutdoors7077]

I love my vintage Garcia and Mitchell reels. I paired my Garcia with a vintage Eagle Claw Trail Master 4 piece ultra light. Both were pawn shop finds. Have caught so many big fish on that set up

[@mxbass1036]

As always, good video Richard.
