That would be hilarious 😂 😃

Richard, you have the best channel on fishing that's on KZbin. As the church's Bishop, I also enjoy how you honor God. That is very hard to find in our day. I've said this before, but you cost me a lot of money trying to imitate you in the ways you fish. I have followed your advice on many species of fish. Two years ago, I caught my PB of a 10 lb. Large Jaw. My crappie catches have increased extensively. I want to target larger Bluegill this season. I've been successful like many others, but they have yet to be consistently large. I can do the technical pages about fishing, but I like your down-to-earth-speak techniques...because...It's a sport "second to none." And I always go fishing whenever I can, because it's good fer me. I would like to talk to others on this channel. I have suffered PTSD from Vietnam for many years and, in seeing a psychologist for the past eight years, affirm that fishing is a healer for depression. I found it to be true. I couple that with Richard Gene the Fishing Machine and your humor! God Bless.

[@raymondroberts2653]

Your the best Richard! For taking all the time to teach us so well. Thank you Sir 🙏🏻👍

[@ronaldshank7589]

His Christian Faith, and his knowledge, as it relates to fishing tips and practices, is why I like channels, such as this one, and another great channel on KZbin, called Creek Fishing Adventures. Both of these Christian Brothers are solidly rooted in their Christian Faith, and they know the different ways to get the fishing done right!

Thanks, Richard, for a great video. Thanks for giving all the tips and advice. You've absolutely got the best channel. Brother, I've got one question: Why every time that you hook one, you say, " it's a good un ." They're all good uns ! LOL I don't blame you, if someone doesn't get excited fishing, they need to give up. God bless ya'll and stay safe on your travels to go fishing.

I'm so happy I found you when my boys begged me to take them fishing 4 years back. It had been 18 years my uncle passed and thankfully I learned to gut a fish but we gave up fishing because, " it wasn't the same". I was a teenager and now I realize he would've wanted us out there enjoying the beauty of it! God bless you too Richard Gene!

[@adrianthayer4591]

I'm pretty new to bass and panfish fishing. That rubber band hack just opened up a whole bunch of things for me. Thanks Richard.

[@joegrande4848]

Use a 1/8 oz white crappie jig with a white ribbon tail grub with trophy bass. You'll catch em. Throw white crappie jig, and let it fall 3 to 4 seconds max. Then a moderate speed retrieved, let it fall again, then raise the arm from 9 o'clock to 10 o'clock, and let it fall. Very simple but effective, you will catch bass for sure. Practice, and you'll get it. I caught 3 3+ lb smallies on them, quiet, nice small mouth. Not trophies but descent smallies. 😊😊

[@joegrande4848]

As you let white crappie jig with ribbon tail worm fall and raise arm 9 o'clock to 10 o'clock helps. More times than set the hook. Let rod flex and let fish pull. Lean on your strong side, let fish fatigue. When the fish stops pulling, start reeling. Keep pressure on. If there's slack in the line, reel up slack til lines tight and lean into the fish. 😊

[@joegrande4848]

The best thing take only 2 rigs and practice with them the whole duration u plan to fish. If u fish 9 months of the year, practice using both lures 4 and a half months one lure. Then practice with other lures 4.5 months. Once you learn to use one lure or rig, incorporate the 1 rig or lure with the other. Use only those 2 lures or rigs.

[@nathanowens3]

[@riverrat988]

Love those River Smallies. Awesome video

[@christiancognigni6234]

Richard - I want you to try that Nikko hellgrammite on a 1/8 oz drop shot with a #1 mosquito or octopus hook. Nose hook that bugger and you'll see it has more natural action in the water. That big hook keeps the bait very rigid. With the nose hook, the whole bait will undulate and wiggle around. It'll always nose into the current and look really sleek. I know you'll like it because fishing is good fer 'ya! Happy Fathers' Day to you, good sir!

[@crosscountrybankangler]

Hey Richard, I just wanna say that I support using lighter equipment for bass. Back in the old days, sport anglers used the lightest equipment possible. Now it's all governed by tournament style fishing, and that often means skiing in bass on a medium heavy rod. But giving a fish a better chance with light gear and you'll have a better time...

[@jamesz9139]
