[@ellerose7263]

My God this guy is underrated beyond words...dude is getting slept on with this low of subscribers...one of the most genuine and humble teachers of a sport ive ever been blessed to be educated by.

[@michaelshaw5481]

Yo he's actually good friends with Jimmy Houston , you are right as far as people sleeping on him BUT my dad said he was huge back in the day ......like dudes living off 1976 fishing tournament money 😆

[@lawrencefranck9417]

If he’d get to the point.

[@WingoTribe704]

He has plenty now

[@jimashcroft2841]

The machine is the best teacher of fishing techniques on the u~tube. Just a good old ’ SOUTHERN boy with a big fishing heart.!

[@itllkeal]

The name says it all. RICHARD GENE THE FISHIN MACHINE.

[@daviddixon2829]

Richard, you are the best regular fishing person on KZbin!!! This video has been viewed 170K times and only 2K likes, please people like these videos, that's very important!! Keep up the great work!!!

[@parttimeyoutube]

You may never actually read this because your channel has grown. But thank you to all your old videos that have helped encourage my growth in the sport of fishing. The lessons you teach in the different fishing techniques is what inspires me the most.

[@kperrin7686]

Video could a been as long as u wanted to make it and I'll watch it bro

[@scottleggejr]

He needs a daily livestream. 10am on the water until you run outta cold beer.

[@mantisadventures633]

Probably the most knowledgeable angler I have seen on KZbin. He doesn’t need downscan and super fancy electronics either.

[@haciendadad]

I like that you are respectful to the fish and gently return them to the water instead of just tossing them in the water.

[@charlielewis6849]

Richard Gene I have crappie fished for 40 years and I think u have taught me more in 2 or3 years then I ever would learned on my own thank you and God bless you mama sue and the boys

[@P_Paw]

I learned to fish from my Dad and all the old fishin shows. Richard’s hands down just as good as and better than any of em. A true professional and master of his trade.

[@donnell688]

loved your video, I used to fish the old river in Louisiana ( across from Natchez ,Ms, and could always find crappie in spots like you show, made the mistake and moved to Kentucky and can no longer fish for crappie as the rivers up here are 50ft deep with no visible cover

[@jongarcia8408]

The most educational fishing channel on KZbin. Much love from Texas

[@chriswatson2784]

[@SilverMt.]

Thank you. great to see a guy with just the basic equipment like I have getting fish. no $3000. fish finer or $2000 trolling motor , or $15000 boat needed. Learned some good info.

[@paulstewart5859]

Gene: You actually tech people useful techniques. I am a seasoned fisherman learning from you on every video. Keep teaching us what to do. I love your videos. Thank you

[@CARJAK75]

Very good info and tips. Thanks for taking the time to put a video together. Nice work!

[@scottcozart8950]

I just learned what I have been trying to learn. I fish hard but I just can't find them this time of year. I never thought to look for shad in creeks. Thank you soooo much Richard. You need your sat. Nite. Fishing show on the sportsman channel. You Teach us how to find what were fishing for without saying we gotta buy this or buy that. To catch what were looking for. Hey. That means the world to me. I watched this video 3. Times and let it sink in. Going wed. To try it. I know where a big cove with a creek coming in it is at. Couple weeks ago I went in there and saw shad balls all over my garmen. So thanks GOD BLESS. AND MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS. WHOHHHH. WHOHHHH WHOHHHHHHH.

[@jtoth1234summer]

Really enjoy your videos , Good Ole Fashioned humor , mixed with a lot of common sense tips. I have been retired for a year now and my Alter Ego Shmo has fallen in the water three times, I keep telling the dummy to be careful , but he never listens. I was wondering how many times Elmo has falling into the water. Keep up the great work God bless

[@davemathis4215]

[@joepatrick3720]

Thanks for doing this video. Some of us can't afford the nicer electronics. This was a huge help in feeling confident in what I am looking at.

Awesome, thanks Machine!! I learn a lot from your video, and it’s also very entertaining! Paying attention to forage and different types of timber lay downs will pay dividends. Merry Christmas brother!

[@finebourbon]

Thank you for all you do for us. Good karma generates more good karma. I been thinkin about it. 2lb line no problem. 1/64 jigs no problem. Might as well mash the barb flat on those jigs and give that a go. I certainly appreciate your fishing ethic. Keep 'um comin'.

[@nhala04]

Thanks Richard, some anglers don't give details on how they catch fish. You do! #ROLLTIDE. Gadsden, Alabama...

[@dr.keithw.kirbyd.d.9979]

Again another great video. And, once I saw you getting ready to sign off on one of you're video's and you said there was a boat coming. I say to that, " Don't worry about what people see, go ahead and be yourself". Let them go look at something else. You're not only one of the best fishermen on the internet I have seen but also a great comic that makes people laugh. May the Lord Bless and keep you Richard Bishop Keith Kirby

[@glennmewhinney7084]

Hey Richard. I watch your videos all the time, in fact I watch almost all of the fishing videos that on you tube. By far hands down you and your videos are my favorite.. Yours ate the most in formative n down to earth. I know you have done this before but I have not been able to find it. Would you please show one on how you make your needless jig heads. Thank you for being you and, God Bless you.. Mad mule. From Tennessee

[@davidtramel3976]

Hey brother Richard! I really enjoy your channel and sharing your experience with all of us. You fish alone mostly and I was wondering if you have done a video on one-man launching and loading your boat? Thanks for everything! David

[@dinacaldwell7522]

I love the way you explain things

[@ghornfishing3877]

Beautiful peace of water!👌Great Video👍

[@richardhoge3617]

Merry Christmas my friend. Another great video from "The Professor" of the Crappie fishing world!

[@lesliemichniuk4617]

Interesting and enjoy watching Richard. Are these crappie tasty or not at all? Catch and release shown in the video. Please share more information if these can be eaten. They look like they may be tasty. Fry in a bit of flour and garlic salt or a few herbs.
