[@campingbychoice5450]

Woo yah..love fishing all the time. And I love your videos all the time too!

[@saw6436]

I discovered this channel about a week ago. I'm enjoying them over here in South Korea but hope to be putting some of the knowledge you impart to the test in North Carolina in a few weeks. My 13 year old daughter discovered that she really likes fishing and I'm going to take her to some of the same waters my father took me. I appreciate that you actually teach "how to" and give solid tips to improve my fishing. Keep up the great work!

[@tonymcbroom5252]

You are making me a better angler with every video! But even more importantly you are making me a better person and I thank you for that Mr. Gene!

[@Vulneravariable]

Thank you Richard Gene. Just steady bringing the good stuff.

[@sammyvh11]

Gas price is putting a hurt on my fishing so I watch Richard

[@crappieking5592]

I was catching crappie yesterday on some bluegill I got with my minnow trap. The end of the day a 3lb bass grabbed one and gave me a heck of a fight on some 2lb line. I let out a big WOOOO and got one back from another boater.

[@johncouch1818]

God bless the best fisherman I've ever seen Richard Gene the fishing machine love your videos

[@denmar355]

Love to see you catching crappie when most folks don’t bother with it in summer!

[@LetsCrappieFish]

I love it but we are having a lot of pop up storms

[@adamdeitrick1801]

Richard, got me some slab tails from watching you fishing in creeks! So excited to try these out! I’ll have to get me some of those hand tied jigs next! A bit steep of a price but man you seem to use those just about as much if not more! Fishing really is a sport second to none, in my opinion! Love the videos!

[@keithk1897]

Richard, this may be my favorite video yet. Top 5 of all of yours Ive watched and I've been watching since you only had 80,000 subs. You are getting better and better with your teaching, content and humor! You are an amazing Man! I admire you so much :)

[@charleywalker2982]

Richard Gene the fishing machine thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

[@deanf7086]

Hi Richard. Judging from the crank handle on that 2052 is either a EE 1966, ED 1967, EC 1968, EB 1969 and some early DA 1970. Later DA’ s and through the 70’s just weren’t made to the same quality as the earlier models. I have two, a ED and an early DA. Great little reel!

[@denniscrane9753]

Got some from my grandpa 25 years ago and their still in use today! Absolutely love them!

[@ericschulze5641]

Strange because I have the exact reel my dad bought me around 1982-83

[@bryanmaness621]

I like to know what you do with the 2x4 to tie up to the bridge .

[@Wabes_1]

Richard you break it down the right way that everyone can understand, a happy wife makes life better. be safe and stay positive.

[@movingpictureproduction981]

Dude, I wish I had a grandfather like you. My grandfather was B52 pilot, so he was pretty awesome, but I hope I can be like you when I am a grandfather! I have an 11 year old, so I got a few years to go! But when I am your age, I will look to you for inspiration! These videos are awesome!

[@tpotoutdoors580]

Great video as always! It is always fun to figure out a pattern that starts working! Keep fishin hard!!!!

[@fuzzyfultz]

Another great video from a great gentleman and brother in the Lord.

[@michaelleach5885]

[@dylangibson4156]

We love you, Richard!!

[@tommycheak8203]

[@lukecassell5528]

Richard Gene is the crappie king!

[@mariogervasi2471]

If I’m correct the reel was made approximately 1970. Wt 8.6 oz 4.7/1 gear ratio and holds 250 yards of 4lb test and graded 8+/9 very good quality reel. Found on the web. I’m a new subscriber about 7 months now. Love your videos.

[@thewayfishingchannel635]

I love you Richard Gene the fishing machine your the best you make me smile and laugh every-time you start the WOOO!! I thank the Lord for you! Keep it up brother

[@timburton1812]

Richard how do you tie up to the bridge? I noticed a 2x4 in your boat.

[@markshannon6490]

If you can't seem to get depths rite on your jig, 1/4 ounce jig falls 1ft per second,count down 1001,1002, 1003,and so on. Lighter jigs takes experience. Thanks for the videos always great to see you!

[@shanejohnson4785]

I caught covid sometime back his channel is the only one I ever watched for hours learn so much he explains things so down to the point and it's clean for kids and everybody to watch

[@dwkarsten]

Always a great day to watch ur magic on the water!

[@rayhall3010]

I bought the same reel in a pawn store yesterday,, got it home took it apart and lubed it up , looking for a rod to put it on ,, great video as always Richard,. God bless you and your family,,

[@Walt1119]

Another great informative video, thanks so much Richard for sharing this with us!!!!

[@donaldwebb9148]

Keep em comin! I'm not a big crappie fisherman but I've follow some of your techniques and they've worked. I mostly pond fish and have caught a lot of crappie from the bank

[@brianlykins6663]

Thanks Richard for another good trip. Of course any trip that your fishin on is a good one. Glad you got Mama Sue some fish, I'd hate for her to tell you that she's eating bologna and beans and you can have pop knocks. lol For folks that don't know, that's knocks on the noggin. Not good at dinner time. Love your videos buddy. God bless you and your family and have a blessed day my friend.

[@stephenhenning6381]

Your videos always make me want to drop what I am doing and go fishing. I am curious as to how you catch and cook white bass as I have never figured out a way to make them taste good. Please show us sometime…

[@alantillman588]

Awesome video Richard....always look forward to when you post a new video.

[@TonyGingrich]

At my favorite lake, I have to fish very differently than most people recommend. The shad will come up in very thick swarms, literally thousands. Even if I jig directly below them, I don't get many bites. There are just too many of them for my lure to be attractive. Instead, I have to jig very deep, about a foot off the bottom. The sonar will actually show nothing there--all the crappie are active at the bottom of and throughout the shad swarm. Yet at a foot off the bottom, I tend to have the best luck.

[@Rangemaster362]

You are a true scholar Richard. Enjoy your videos.

[@timothywalker8674]

Crappie fishing is definitely temperamental. I got to learn to be more patient when I use jigs. I use minnows when I crappie fish. I was at my lake house this week and used crickets and red worms. We caught the limit but after 10:30 am they quit biting and started back around 4:30 pm. The surface temperature was 86 degrees in the morning and up to 92 in the afternoon. We caught mainly bream and few shellcrackers. Like your videos and God bless

[@martydunn298]

Yep, when momma Sue wants crappie. Momma Sue gets crappie!!lol. LIVE FOR THE THUMP MY FRIEND!!

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

I was out there this morning in my kayak just staring straight up. It was like a planetarium. I kept seeing satellites going by. I could see so many stars. It was beautiful.

[@kotyherren3103]

That Shakespeare 2052 that you’re using it’s from the 1960s it’s probably about 62 years old may be a little older

[@mikewest712]

So glad you put a video up today. Woohoo

[@budget_hobbies87]

Love your videos man been a long time subscriber I enjoy all of the great personality also the great Things you bring up lots of cool ideas and I have tried a couple of them

[@deejaytrizay]

Man that intro. I Love Richard!

[@thomassanders6679]

Best fishing on the internet by far

[@chucksmith5002]

Enjoyed it Richard Gene

[@snuggalufagusjambuddy7303]

R.G.T.F.M., You're right on ! Instinct, muscles memories , & practice , practice , practice = perfect crappie fisherman! 🐟🐟👍

[@jdub6857]

Richard Gene, that looked like a Mitchell reel to me!

[@jimshepard8822]

Great information Richard. Crappie are up feeders , they don’t go down to take a bait like a bass

[@PaintballShyguy]

That's some beautiful country you live in. Nice looking reel too.

[@johnnycashmiller288]

I give it to you richard gene ,you catch fish when nobody else can in my opinion

[@level_up_life777]

Richard your probably one of my favorite people! I’d love to go fishing with you man!

[@calistan5431]

Very new to crappie fishing thank you for sharing !

[@jaystrobel5258]

I agree that certain times fish will only bite a certain color. I went out yesterday and I saw bluegill and shad all over on top. I tried bluegill and shad colors with no bites. The bites I was getting were from downsized lures. But I still couldn't land a fish. So after thinking about it for a while, I went with a white glass ghost lure and caught and landed 3 fish within 15 minutes. That was all for the morning though. It was very tough. Over the past couple of years, I have been learning the baitfish that swim the waters that I fish as well as the predators. Even when you have new stockings, it's good to know the predator fish the biologists stock because that's food for the bigger fish. Great video.

[@stevenmullins8347]

Thanks Richard....

[@marylynfenton7178]

Just started watching your videos and sure enjoy each and everyone of them. Thanks for what your doing.

[@michaelrichardson9372]

Richard thank you once again for sharing your knowledge with all of us.

[@l.h.1238]

90% of what I've learned about fishing has been from RGTFM ! I'M TALKING ABOUT, WOOOOOO!

[@fiendfrank]

Hey can you tell me the advantages of hi-vis yellow line vs low-vis flouro? I thought line visibility mattered.

[@TermlessHGW]

I guess it matters when you're trying to hit "line shy" fish. Less visible mono tied as a leader to braid is what I like to use recently.

[@bassnazi4713]

It comes down to the aggressiveness of the fish at the time of year. Crappie hit quick and hi vis can help you get the initial hit. Bass are aggressive predators and can usually ignore the initial strike, that said I use hi vis with a fluoro leader and have caught plenty of bass. People tend to forget fish see differently than we do so you have to take that into account, too.

[@bbforlife2281]

Richard u always the best it seem like u always have the lake to yourself anyway can't wait for your next video

[@jacksonwilliams1835]

Hey buddy I love your videos. I wanted to share with you my favorite crappie lure. My favorite lure is a 02 size storm curly tail minnow. I tend to get more bites using it on a jig spinner.

[@peterburroughs9310]

Hello Richard I enjoy all the information you put in your videos. I love vintage reel and rods. I'm a huge Johnson century reel collector. Have about 15 different reels.

[@GOTCHAPARK]

Good video Richard, Thanks for posting it. Roll TIDE!

[@devonellsworth1]

Makes me think of fishing with my grandpa for crappie but he always called them speckle bass I love your videos.

[@slmjake]

Happy fourth of July to all and God Bless America!

[@rogerbrowning4637]

Da gone man . I'm glad I fount chu! I appreciate what you're doing. My daddy in law could catch Crappie jigging but I guess that I didn't pay close enough attention. He dead and gone but I'm paying attention to you and if it will cool off just a smidgin, then I am going fishing! Thankee much!

[@brettbw1]

Hey Richard, Thanks. I recon I'll try again in the heat but water is 89 here in lake Wylie. Can you show a close up of the gold/ chartreuse jig? I make my own but want an idea of how chunky the body is. Thanks

[@kennethburchette2592]

Jean I love your shows, and I love you and Mama Sue, what I love the most is that you love our Lord and Savior just as I do. Keep up the good work and God bless you and yours.

[@imsowright90]

Good tips, Richard. Thanks for sharing.

[@mcconn746]

This is my first time to see your video. Thanks. I suspect it will help my crappie fishing. We don't keep anything less than 11". I would rather let them grow up more.

[@ryanholliman5923]

Still have your other boat too?

[@franciscahazlet4021]

Thanks for another great instructional video. Have a safe 4th holiday with family.

[@lisahelms8030]

You too always good with family 👪❤. Keep also Jesus in your day.

[@michaelhammett3771]

Great video interesting fishing at bridges alot they like bridges.

[@royalandrosey]

"Poetry is just another way of saying chicken." Gosh darnit now those are some poetic words right there!

[@johnhalverson4114]

I've started making my own feather chenille crappie jigs last November and I've had so much luck.

[@shaqbrown5473]

I miss you catching them big bluegills..don’t care to much for crappie but good video.

[@supabeast123]

Just bought 3 of your shirts the other day!! They look badass thanks!!!

[@lisahelms8030]

Scam

[@robinbanion3772]

Would you show how you filet your Crappie? You are a excellent teacher!!!

[@jeffdowns2146]

Thanks for another great video Richard.

[@keithwest6859]

Great teaching video. I really enjoyed this.

[@roypeavy3542]

I like your anchor set-up.👍

[@Thumpaholic]

Tators and kernbread are my fav-0-rite delicasies....

[@christophercaston6902]

I would be scared to.Moma Sue needs those crappie. WOOOO WOO WOOOOOOO🤣🤣

[@bowlingmotorsportsbowling5990]

How do you determine your depth Richard when fishing with out a float

[@michaelharper6149]

Love the videos!! Where do you get the gold/chartreuse hair jig?

[@rickybarlow1572]

Great fishing video! Would you say the name of the gold jig you use and where you can get them? Would like to try them in cordell hull lake. Thanks Ricky

[@3ncKe]

I totally feel ya on the finicky behavior at times. Trying different actions until you get a reaction. At the least, you'll get a lot of wrist exercise. 😀

[@JamesBrown-rm2rd]

Richard your shakespeare vintage 2052 was made in 1968 ,I own three of them.

[@LeviW133]

Nice video mister Richard love your videos keep up the good work and go catch a big one

[@dawnesurley118]

284 thousand subscribers WOW that’s a bunch of people!!!! Love your videos !

[@hankh1610]

RGTFM, Howdy; Truly enjoy your videos. Sometimes miss the "Back East fishin'" it's a bit different, yet fairly much the same here in Southern New Mexico. Have 2 nice lakes near here Cabello & Elephant Butte both have crappie, just not as plentiful as your area. Thank you for taken us with ya on your fishin' trips.

[@anthonyfoutch3152]

I have friends that live in El Paso that fish those lakes.

[@markd2858]

Love the videos, keep them coming. And go fishing because it’s good for you!!!

[@OlredRN]

Where did you buy that gold and chartreuse jig or did you make them?

[@daviddaigrepont9485]

How do I know that I'm not fishing empty water? I usually have a few rods with different colors tied on them but I've never sat in one place and tried 8 colors.

[@tedchu8888]

That's my question too. There is no bridge or obvious structure in my lake

[@rickbrown7067]

I wish we could get some of that heat in southern Washington. Maybe next week.

[@bobbycrain4229]

Is there a fish finder that you recommend thanks for the great videos and God bless

[@ryanmedlock5974]

Woooooo, wooooooooo. Great video man!!

[@terrywells3955]
