A Crappie Fishing Bait Second To None!

[@225jigpole]

There are a lot of KZbin crappie channels and I'm building one of my own. But let's be honest Richard Gene the fishing machine is the best to ever do it!

[@casey1204]

Richard - for goodness sakes, start yourself a guide service. I would take vacation and pay money to meet you and fish with you, and I know I'm not the only one. You are a true original! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@kennythurston8383]

That is a great idea, I would do the same thing.

[@jimbow2928]

I would pay good money to spend the day with Richard jean the fishing machine.

[@jimmywilson1388]

Shoot I would say take my money…😂🤣 I guarantee you he would put you on the fish.. lol

[@bennyhill3642]

I Know Right!?!?!?! I don't have the money but I do have 3 kids ROFL jk😇

[@robertchadwick2925]

I'm right there with you all. Please.

[@jerryjohnson3487]

Been watching your videos for months with my son. I just bought a secondhand boat so that we can start crappie fishing using the techniques we've learned from your videos. We're taking the boat out for the first time this weekend, God willing.

[@lumpylumpy3931]

I’m 41 and back in the early 90s I can remember watching Bill Dance and other Fishing Shows that’d come on TV. I grew up on a lake and I fished for Whitepearch just about every day. I sat around and watched your videos Saturday and it felt like stepping back in time watch them fishing shows. I’d also like to say your a very good fisherman. Great Channel and educational.

[@budgarner3522]

You're right Gene, anyone can fish. Some of us just catch fewer fish or even nothing. A bad day of fishing is a good time in the outdoors. You and Bill Dance need to do some sort of a joint benefit raffle where the winner gets a day with the two of you!

[@robertmartin5662]

Richard. You make crappie fishing look easy. You are one of the best crappie fisherman I’ve ever seen. In all my years of fishing. I will never be as good as you. I would have loved to meet you, and fish with you. There’s not many of your videos I have missed. Live in illinois. And keep your videos coming. Thanks again Richard for sharing.

[@michaelboettcher9384]

Sitting in our cabin with below 0 cold and 47 inches of snow on the ground, my wife and I enjoy watching and learning from your video. Your the best fishing show ever.

[@yaaqovyahudah7569]

Richard my wife and I laughed until tears ran out of our eyes, you're the best keepem coming

[@Aqua_Holic_Fishing]

A crappy day at work is tremendous when RGTFM has a new video!

[@jimrielly8794]

My wife leaned over to me and looked at this video and said-why can’t you catch fish like this guy 😊. I watch you like a reference guide. You tips are the best and fun to watch. Your a gem to take so much time making editing and posting these. Thanks so much. Fishing is the best.

[@drakejdf]

That scare you got at 13:37 had me rollin’ this is my go to channel for expert crappie techniques and great equipment information.fishin’ and watching Richard gene videos are goooood fer ya’

[@jclsv1]

The grandmaster of crappie , the sensei! El sensei in Spanish . Woot!

[@charlesjefferson4129]

Richard I’ve thought for years I was the only one that creek fish the way you have, i’m in Arkansas Fayetteville, Lake Sequoyah, fishing home. I know and feel the peace that you feel in the creeks. I’m glad to see your videos and highly respect your way of life. God bless you, Fish on your friend the River Rat Charlie Jefferson

[@tommywelborn5688]

Mr. Richard Gene, I've been down and out of fishing since tearing my pectoral tendon on Jan 8th, had surgery jan 12th. My Dr says I will be in this sling until at least March 3rd. Watching your fishing channel has really really kept me sane. I really love hearing you talk fishing. I've learned so many tips from you over the years. God bless you sir.

[@emilywiemann5868]

Richard Gene you are the best and sweetest crappie master around! Thank you, Woo!

[@thewesternway7797]

Richard you are right about our Country It is Beautiful and full of outdoor opportunities! Fishing is as you say a sport second to none! We are fortunate to have you teaching us about fishing! God Bless you Brother!!

[@pkope6849]

Richard Gene !!!!! YOU Sir are a Gem !! Thank You Sir... For All Of It..

[@leroybaker1373]

Thank you Richard, for sharing your thoughts and tips. I am so glad that you are not afraid to share your beliefs also. The world needs more people like you. Take care, God bless you, and thank you for everything.

[@Muskrat1960]

I love how you inject how blessed we are in this country. Bless you. 😊

[@bennyhill3642]

Amen Brother!!!

[@bassnbackwoods6017]

Love your videos Richard! Would love to be able to fish with you one day. Me an the wife and kids never miss a video!

[@mtown-jf7tl]

The fishing Machine does it again...never fails always glad to watch his videos

[@maghunter120]

I swear I saw your eyes pop out of your head when your boat brush that branch. I almost choked on my dinner laughing so hard.🤣🤣 Thank you for another great informative video.

[@brianlykins6663]

Thank you, Richard, for another great video and for taking us along with you. Thank you as well for giving credit to God for creating beautiful outdoors and everything in nature for us to enjoy. I love the underspins as well, been fishing them since I found them many many years ago. Thanks for all the tips on our trips. God bless you, brother and your family. Go out there and have a blessed day.

[@dennisstewart7849]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It was worth it for two reasons, besides the beautiful crappie you were catching. One, was the log scrapping against you boat and seeing your reaction, priceless. The second, for the time you took to enjoy your surroundings, a gift that we should all enjoy as we fish. God Bless, and keep up the videos.

[@nicholasgahm9016]

Tree screech finally got him on camera! Good stuff Richard!

[@kenelliott846]

Thank You Richard, I will for sure give it a try, love your videos!!! God's blessings always!!!

[@luigidaniels6570]

Richard, I am enjoying my 4th or 5th year learning and enjoying you sharing your vast fishing knowledge. But I respect your humbleness by showing your faith and love of family and friends. You had me rolling with laughter when the boat rubbed the tree branch. I also have eve ducks come low and streaking over my head and u should see me duck or bats around head..all part of God's creation as we share their areas.. thank you, stay blessed. Luigi

[@rogerpowers6893]

Every video is totally awesome and entertaining. Thank you for providing them.

[@edcygan]

Thank you Richard for taking that minute to express your joy of this country and our creator, damn near brought a tear to my eye. God bless America. Thanks brother you made my day.

[@harveybrooks6765]

Could you do a up close and explain the double uni knot for those of us that doesn't understand. Thank you Mr.Gene

[@chrispounds4100]

Most I have laughed In a while I rewound it just to hear that noise,It did sound what they say a sasquatch sounds like.We are truly blessed for the beauty God blesses us with.

[@kylerlothrop7042]

Sir, iv watched a many of different fishing channels on KZbin, learned a lot, but I believe iv learned the most right here. One of the most important things you seem to do exceptionally differently is that you fish THE DAY I used to get stuck in the typical pattern of whichever season using the few tried and trues when though you apply that as well you also show you can often find more fish by fishing the exact conditions of the day not the season if that makes sense. Clearly this is known well by many across the board but I wanted to thank you for I learned it here and apply so much of what you show on here with success. Your awesome!

[@ryanarctor21]

I caught some crappie today. It was gooood for me! Thanks Richard

[@axps6457]

coming from someone without any belief, i enjoyed your heartfelt words at the end of the video

[@hartsfire416]

I've never laughed so hard when you ran up on that branch! 🤣Love your videos and always leave a little smarter! Thanks buddy!

[@cynturner906]

Can’t wait to get fishing with my kids this year. Gonna take and make some time too. Always awesome videos. Keep up the great work. Thanks

[@jessebodey9421]

LOL! What a blessing Richard is! We need more like him in this world! Praise Jesus!

[@jamesjarvies3099]

Another very interesting video Richard. I always learn something from watching your fishing videos. You do a good job explaining what you are doing and using. Keep up the good work!

[@thehikingbird249]

Two types of anglers,especially crappie anglers are the oh so silent assassins that seem to just kill it whenever, wherever they fish AND every now and again you’ll have an Iconic fisherman known to many others that share ALL with you sometimes IF we just simply greet one another and just enjoy this good earth that God give us all to share life together and learn from one another and help one another and simply be kind to one another. God bless all watching, reading comments and absolutely 100% just are enjoying good content! Richard Gene The Fishing Machine…an American Icon? I’d say an icon for the whole planet earth!

[@DonnaCCombs]

I’ve had the same issue with named baits and now the price is up but with 1/2 the number in the packs with bad baits still in the pack. I’m going to give the little spinner a try next week, when we get to go fishing!

[@Ittwilend]

Actually used the same jig today on the Waccamaw River in South Carolina, only with Gulp 3 inch minnow. Did fairly well considering it's early here. Great videos. Always learning.

[@MiguelRodriguez-zi4sl]

Always great to see you out there fishing 🙂!! Learning as I enjoy your adventure 🤠. Thanks again and God Bless 🙏

[@anthonyhill7124]

Another GREAT episode there Sir! Always a pleasure watching you catch SLABS… using roadrunners is one of my favorite ways to catch them also 👍🏾👍🏾💯

[@catphish66]

Thank you for another excellent video. I just keep on learning each time I watch them.

[@jimmywilson1388]

I bet that little bit of vibration makes them hit it harder because they think it’s trying to escape… Kinda like if a bass swipes at a bait and misses you can kinda jerk it away a couple times quickly and they’ll hammer it… It’s a predator reflex type of strike. Great video Elmer, that’s very interesting. Make us a catfishing video soon please… Love ya man! Wooooooo I noticed you were heading backwards pretty quick but I figured you knew… You better look out fer sac squatch now Elmer… He’ll grab you boy…😆🤣

[@patricialandry5071]

Loved the video, very informative I'm learning a lot. I love the scenery it's beautiful there and loved the geese sounds in the background as they flew over.

[@BigT27295]

That's some beautiful surroundings. Love it Richard.

[@amyfoulks9855]

Good night Elmo We heard sascwatch, got us a little sermon and saw some slab donkeys what more do you want from a fishin video folks....The Machine is second to none. Keep up the good work God Bless...oh yeah by the way Im with the guy that wants to pay to spend a day with Ol Richard

[@davidhughes2622]

Hi from Rolla MO 🎣🤠 Dave Hughes Hope all is good for you and your's with the bad storms this last month tearing up everything. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed to get through without problems. Enjoy your videos and all your info on fishing with Richard Gene. Been tying up some under spins in size 6 & 4 for pan fishing. Thanks for your time and know how. 🎣🤠 Dave Hughes.

[@redbyron10]

Great video RG. How about making one sometime on your techniques on finding bait fish! Thanks

[@AllanSpina]

Richard, May God bless you for all the great information and inspiration you provide to your audience!

[@reynaldolopez3823]

Another great video Richard. God Bless you and your family.

[@3blures573]

watch out for those satch squatches, they get you when your back is turned!!! I was night fishing for crappie and the fog came in on us, we bumped into a no wake buoy and we all about jumped out of the boat... keep up the great videos.

[@michaelfolse8140]

Your are the best to help others be a great fishermen thanks for the insight 👍

[@paulsrelaxingnaturevideos9076]

Love Your Videos Richard! I watch Each and Everyone one of them, LETS CATCH ANOTHER ONE!!!!!🎣

[@TNAROHfan]

How did I miss this video? I about busted britches laughing when Samsquanch got ahold of the machine.

[@cocosli803]

Good video Gene, I love that underspin its a true bait when u have 2 search for those fish who's on the move keep that underspin comin thanks 4 that awesome footage 👍🏽James H.

[@billybob-ss4zi]

fastest Richard's moved since Mamma Sue hollered at him! Another great vid-many thanks!

[@doughensley9314]

😂 I’m still laughing about the Sat-squatch!!! Your videos are the best!

[@electrickflame353]

rRich, the Alberto knot is a nice knot to use when linking braid and flurocarbon

[@kennythurston8383]

Awesome video my friend. Thanks for taking us along. Take care.

[@rogerkilby4303]

Keep on growling fishin machine !!! I always enjoy learning from you and watching you fish these great places !!! Thanks and God Bless you Sir !!!

[@terryeastep3915]

Amen brother. We are so blessed. Hahaha and when we run up on that tree, I come up off the couch with you LOL. Thank you for the advice and the laughs.

[@lannyseals2084]

I'm just getting into doing more crappie fishing and learning from the fishing machine is second to none!! With the underspin does the Indiana/Colorado blade better than just the willow blade?

[@snaykes]

Had to order my Richard Gene hoodie! Support this guy!

[@Rikkitikki-fr7hk]

Would love to see a video of white bass fishing. I know they aren't a glamorous catch like the crappie or bass but they fight much harder and are good to eat.

[@davefairchild7023]

Great info as usual, thanks. Do you ever tie a weed guard on a Road Runner?

[@gogetemtv5004]

The machine is back at it!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🎣🎣🎣

[@stevenedwards7793]

I had to pause the video because I couldn't quit laughing when the boat scrubbed on the tree limb. It's good to know I am not the only one it happens to!

[@jordanwalter2447]

Appreciate your advice so much Richard .

[@LifeWellLived7]

😂🤣RICHARD, I think that scared me about as bad as it did you. But, I laughed so hard that I cried so much I couldn't see, and I couldn't hardly catch my breath! Love ya buddy and God Bless!

[@garyxian1201]

😂😂 love that Bill Dance moment!!! Cracked me up Big time lol

[@rodmccrimmon7975]

Always appreciate the little equipment hacks.

[@martydunn298]

Yes Richard, the good Lord has blessed us with some beautiful surroundings!! And I about lost my supper when that limb rubbed your boat! LOL. LIVE FOR THE THUMP MY FRIEND!!

[@stanwessler3623]

Another excellent video. You are an amazing fisherman and you give credit to whom that makes it all possible. Without God we are nothing. We should all feel blessed. Thank you again for reminding me. Great luck and may God always be with you.

[@reelextremefishing]

Hey Richard I recently got the same Diawa reel 1000 size. I have been using it since early January for trout. I love it so much its extremely smooth. I'm like you a big fan of cadence, but this diawa might be changing that. Great video!

[@Jshogan1943]

good stuff, learn a lot from your videos

[@lovingmesomeoutdoors8729]

Do a video just on what baits you like!

[@motherbrooks1250]

Richard Gene @13:38 into this video has to be one of the funniest things ive seen sounded like a t rex gettin ready to take a bite outta the rear of your posterior had to playback several times i know you probably wont be able to read this since the video was 3 months ago but thanks for the laughs and the tips im a better fisherman thanks to your help thank you sir

[@melodyandvernonkinzer8805]

Hahaha you cracked me up when that limb scraped the boat. I need that. Love your vids. Tell Mama Sue hi.

[@durbinstaxidermy]

😅That was funny when your boat rubbed that limb. Love your videos.

[@PatagoniaArg]

For me, 5 feet ultra light with 1000 size reel with 4lb crappie high visible line. I can use this also for trout. In fact, its trout season.

[@Wabes_1]

Richard Gene that stick that rum the boat get me to i had headphones on, nice fish and great views.

[@wileysettlemire346]

In your opinion what is the best budget rod and reel for panfish and crappie?

[@haroldbolton3383]

Another great video, would be great to see you at Catcon this year.

[@ut000bs]

Richard, those crappie are pretty and healthy and _fat._ lol I miss it up here in Washington. I cannot miss a chance to go fishing with you here. We seem to always have a lot of fun for sure. By the way, the green, sour apple Jolly Ranchers are my favorite but you know the purple, grape ones are good, too. 😉👍‍🎣

[@AJ-gp4ii]

Just wondering if that stick scraping your boat's hull gave you an adreligen rush. Another great video RG.

[@petepeterson2154]

Thanks Richard. What is your thoughts on ACC Crappie sticks? I have two, they are medium/fast but seem more like light action rods.

[@hcellur]

I love the fact you recognized God and the blessing it is to live here. Let's obey his word so he can continue to bless us. He is our father and he will discipline us if needed. We must defend it with every ounce of our being. God Bless America!!!

[@richardmanning8559]

Richard does using uni knots cause any issues with casting?

[@wvoutdooradventures1052]

Hey Richard hope you see this comment. I’m new to Crappie fishing but I’ve been getting more into it because I’d like to fry some up and taste them because I’ve ever tasted crappie before. I have a question, should I use a underspin jig or just a jighead, which do you think is really better for slaying some? Thanks for any and all info!

[@austincope6990]

How do you throw such small baits at a far distance? I'm guessing the braid/fluro?

[@daviddaigrepont9485]

Have you ever heard of Buck Perry and his structure theories of fishing?
