How To Find Crappie On Any Lake

[@jamesbarron6454]

I miss the days that me and my dad would go fishing, even if we didn't get a single bite. I had him and he had me. God Speed and RIP pops.

[@alvinwine5665]

I know how you feel about that , same here with me .

[@proudamerican7662]

You sure know how hit the soft spots☹😥

[@412Angler]

Never had a dad to take me fishing , I need to spend more time fishing with my son this year ...

[@proudamerican7662]

That's why my dad always took some beer. Nothing better than beer, boat, and catching fish.

[@218Mike]

James Barron my best memories as a small child were of dad and me fishing on the White River in southern Indiana. Caught my first fish there. Dad has been gone many years now but those memories are still alive. 😊

[@dabearsfan3533]

His commentary makes ya feel like it's jus you and Jim on the boat, no gimmicks no fancy editing and graphics ...absolutely love your videos sir, thank you

[@perry1134]

I've got to be honest, you are the kind of person I would love to just spend a day fishing with and talking to and learning from.

[@itzjosiah3964]

So true

[@tommygunn4551]

Facts!!

[@JamesSmith-xs1yy]

Any time I need a pick me up I watch your posts been in TN for 2 years now Hope and pray I get to go fishing

[@arthurmccorkle4331]

I'll do a ditto on going fishin' with THE FISHING MACHINE. It would be fun and an honor to go with him whether we caught any or not. However, not catching fish with him is doubtful.

[@ethankurka]

You wouldn't even have to wet a line and you could have a good day with him

[@merrittwentz6900]

The Lord created for us to enjoy.....it’s just that simple. Appreciate you Richard Gene.

[@biggank20]

Merritt Wentz Amen!

[@Emeraldcitygreezedaking]

Love your shows rich. Your the best.. Tight lines..

[@wesleyosburn6789]

Amen brother

[@nathanbriner32]

“It makes me nervous when my wife screams at me” that little clip had me laughing so hard🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@frankapplegate4852]

It's almost like when Richard Gene is in that boat he is in a kind of church. He sure loves what he is doing and it's fun to watch.

[@gunners4129]

You see brainless people getting rich from videos where they catch nothing. This is the man should be getting the payouts! The random humor and wholesomeness is awesome.

[@helloshklosh4111]

And the man can fish like they wanna get caught....

[@fubarmofo6969]

Amen to that! Watching a legend right here!

[@nicthespic3023]

This is my second video of his that I am watching and I'm thinking, "Why doesn't he have more subscribers?"

[@helloshklosh4111]

Nick Lopez We were wait on you to find him 👋...... Now we’re all (you included) wait on the rest of the fishing 🎣 world to find him to.... Then we can fix the country, and the world 🗺..... lol. Welcome home.

[@MrPhotojk]

Gunner, I was a teacher and I think Richard is a GREAT teacher. Each video has an objective and a plan. I have learned so much from him and enjoy watching his videos multiple times because they are so filled with information and tips. Also, he really doesn’t waste a lot of time getting his points across. I think I could name at least 25 major things I have learned from him. And he is funny, as well as humble and smart.

[@hammer12354]

Richard, your fishing videos remind me of why I first got in to fishing a long long time ago. It was because it was fun. Competitive fishing can be too, but a lot of times, it puts stress into it that takes the relaxation out and watching you reminds me of what it's actually for. Thank you for that. It would be really great to fish with you. Even more than any great and famous tournament guys.

[@brucel1185]

Have you ever noticed how people who are really truly professionals at something can make every little detail look so easy? Mr. Gene does it in every video. I love watching for that very reason. He is the Tiger Woods of Southern fishing. Smoooooth. And very humble. Thanks Mr. Gene for sharing these videos!

[@matthbva]

I recently bought a 6 foot Eagle Claw ultralight rod based on your recommendation during your livestream. Paired it with a Shimano Syncopate reel. $75 for the rig and it instantly became one of my favorite setups. Casts tiny lures a mile. Thanks, Richard!

[@ibbisalehjee9538]

You’re like the grandfather I never had, thank you for your knowledge sir.

[@twalters4812]

My pop is a retired carpenter and avid fisherman. His hands were as nasty as 80 grit sandpaper. I've noticed early videos you have those same rough and cracked hands. But now I see they are looking better. I know what that signifies and I am so very happy for you, Richard.

[@mixedmartialnutrition1746]

yea the man also has big arm wrestler hands hed be a beast if he trained lol

[@Greenfshrmn]

Your videos are truly a breath of fresh air. I know what you mean when you talk about pausing to enjoy the scenery, I often find myself doing the same thing and enjoying God's great creations.

[@pipeliner345]

Amen to that!!!

[@Keviebear86]

Richard I just gotta say I was never a very good crappie fisherman until I started watching your videos and using your techniques and equipment. I'm a die hard Abu Garcia fanatic so I strictly use their rods and reels, but I love that I have easily doubled the amount of crappie I've caught this year than any other year! Thanks Richard!!

[@jackmizrachi564]

New to fishing at 74 years old and Richard Gene’s videos are the best......thanks Richard !

[@218Mike]

Richard Gene, I’m really glad God put you on His beautiful green Earth! Because of your generous spirit I learn a lot from you!

[@kathydansby7390]

Love your support of all our veterans. I am a female angler and have been wanting to learn to catch crappie. Will continue to watch

[@trinkladd]

I'm a simple man. I see a Richard Gene video, *I click.*

[@jeffdurocher8669]

Said it before, saying it again, watching you fish, watching you be mindful of the creation and beauty puts a soul at peace. You're the best part of social media. I appreciate you and thank you for teaching me how to fish and enjoy boating at 58 years old. My first fish, crappie, I caught, was from your guidance.

[@billyfreeman5803]

Not comparing you based on age at all, but the way you talk when you fish reminds me of my grandpa. Same EXACT sense of humor and same sense of appreciation of the great outdoors. He served honorably in WW2 and he's the one who got me into fishing. We shared many amazing fishing trips together before the Good Lord took him home. When I think about him and start missing him I come to watch your videos. Keep doing what you do, sir.

[@puddinheadsmith3316]

What a wonderful southern spirit this gentleman has. He is a tribute to the southern folk from whom he sprang. I'm sure his mama is real proud of how he turned out and how much love he spreads into the world.

[@nikosawchunk5720]

The lord created this for a reason and that is for us to enjoy! Amen!

[@chasetheoutdoors7469]

I tried your slow reeling technique today in Lake Norman before the rain came in and sure enough it’s just a thump and then you got them. Thank you for your videos sir. Your enthusiasm and positivity keeps me motivated to get out there when I can. Hope you had a great thanksgiving. God bless you brother.

[@andrewmeekens1778]

I'm a Air Force Vet 74 and I enjoy watching you my southern bro, keep fishing because it's good for you woooooooo

[@comedianfunnyguy1232]

8:38 hilarious richard gene is the perfect example of a guy in the south fishing and chilling as soon as I heard your accent richard I fell in love with you and your stuff

[@SanshokuCustoms]

14:45 thats the reason i fish, i can stay close to nature while fishing... I loveit cause is good fer me

[@davidcraft8873]

Richard, I appreciate your humor, southern accent, and your thoughts of what fishing is all about! So glad I found your channel. Keep mak'n videos!

[@OldMysticFantasist]

"It's all about comin' out here!" Thanks for sharing your experience & knowledge & love of the fish & sport.

[@irishsid13]

You truly are a fishing machine, and the entertainment value is unparalleled, thanks for helping this dude here learn a little bit more about swamp donkeys. Best fishing channel out there.

[@rifleman1873]

Richard, you are a wealth of knowledge, but most importantly you have a great perspective on life. Best wishes!

[@turdferguson5300]

Richard something I learned probably 40 years a go was to rub a new jig body on a crappie that was in the live well. I guess it neutralized the factory smell. Dad and I were fishing and every time an old jig would get torn up it would take a while to start catching on a new jig body. If I rubbed my new jig body on a crappie it'd work immediately. If they made scent sprays back then we didn't have them. I still have the Lowe boat w/ white Johnson 40 in the basement that we were in that day.

[@darrenpierce9458]

Fishin is THE Greatest sport on Earth! It is not doesn't get any better than that!! Most informative and wildly entertaining! Thanks Richard Gene!!

[@kylehammond3220]

Absolutely love to watch your videos! You’re a true fisherman, just enjoying the sport and being in God’s beauty. Keep up the good work brother!

[@johnladd9885]

[@Kwambo19]

Phenomenal job Mr.Gene,I always post this before I finish watching your videos only because I’m never ever disappointed 👍🏾

[@JohnSmith-qj5bn]

Great video! Couldn’t agree with you more about the beauty of fishing and it’s surroundings. Great to see a gentleman like yourself still appreciating the simple joys in life. Keep up the great videos!

[@jimveigl2818]

Richard Gene, I live in West Salem Oh, Dad was from Cullman Al, hope to make it to lake Gunerville some day. You are so down to earth, just love your show, God Bless.

[@jerryharrell1231]

Nothing like watching a man do what he loves to do. We all feel your joy brother !

[@silverlowdo7233]

I love how you appreciate the little things around you,that's how my dad fished and showed me how to see it that way,love what you do sir

[@dennisjones8993]

Great show Elmo, so glad you could take Richard Gene crappie fishing with you. I really appreciate the information. I grew up fishing with my Dad and have learned a lot over the years. And still learning from Richard Gene. Again great show and GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

[@Hogster202]

LOL. Sometimes I'll watch the first few minutes of the video and then just fast forward to the end for the spaz attack. Love it!

[@anacordero3150]

[@fubarmofo6969]

The legend gene the fishin machine! You should do more ads! Your the only person who makes GOOD fishing videos and you deserve much more! We the followers won’t mind more ads to bring in more income! I’d watch an hour of ads to see 20 secs of Elmo!!!

[@brianpotter2135]

Glad you got on some after I left. Good to get to see you on the water. 🎣🎣🦌🦌

[@wadecole4794]

Richard, I'll say this I have never had any interest in subscribing to a youtube page and get blown up with notifications. That has changed today. Keep the videos rolling bub, makes my down time so much better.

[@larryalmachar9113]

It’s amazing that you can tell by the tug that what’s at the other end is a crappie or bass! Amazing!

[@johnshoemaker234]

Just stopped in to like the vid, love watching and learning from you Richard!!

[@Rexy14313]

Richard you're one of my favorite youtubers. Keep putting out the awesome down to earth content!

[@fluty0562]

Always a treat to see your program,, there’s never a show that I haven’t enjoyed with the utmost!! And that’s a fact,, not an opinion...

[@kirkhess5132]

Woo....Woo! Watched Richard catch some BIG catfish with my 3 and 7 year old grandsons watching with me!The 7 year old just had a big grin, and the 3 year old said... I wanna go fishin grandpa! Thanks for the fun Richard!

[@CountryNerd639]

Absolutely love all the shows. Haven't been able to get out there fishing like I'd like, so these shows take me there since I was a youngin'.

[@wullgrew1]

My Dad absolutely loved your channel. We lost him February 25th. He always asked if I'd seen any of your videos, and I hadn't. I found it today. 🙂

[@vick7805]

It's the middle of winter, seeing this video makes me wish spring comes soon.

[@nuclearbum9858]

19 degrees here and this makes me sick too

[@wh8085]

I've busted ice to fish many times , those fish eat in the winter too fellas. Just saying 8 ) Just take a thermos of hot coffee , you'll be fine ! 8 )

[@lakeratatouille]

I am addicted to this channel , It's the only one I've turned notifications on. The apparel looks great. I'm going to check that out. I would love to see a " Fishin' with Elmo" or some kind of slogan stickers, " Fishin' cuz it's good fer yah!" . This man works hard for his views.

[@gwag8410]

It’s nice to see you catching crappie Richard. If anyone is doing any good it’s gonna be you 👍

[@GoofyFlan]

I was about to go to sleep....BUT sleep can wait now.

[@elonmust7470]

@@spaghetti358 interesting.

[@jbay6946]

Nice video Richard. I’ve learned an awful lot about fishing for crappie from your videos. With what I’ve taken from you I’ve been rewarded a state citations for catching a black crappie 18 inches, 2.7 lbs. Thank you sir.

[@americanson2174]

Good video as always Richard, wish we had crappie like that in the Cape Fear River. You are right He made it for us!!

[@midwesttreasureandrelicrec7914]

Man it's refreshing to get back to real fishing dropping all the high Tech bull crap, dropping all the tournament bull crap, and just get back to some real damn fishing love it God-bless..

[@itzjosiah3964]

You are a calm man I’m glad I found you because you are the perfect fishing partner

[@justinc3434]

It's always nice out on the water when the weather is nice.

Richard Gene. GOD bless you and your family. I thank GOD for you posting videos to help us catch fish.

[@twhatley45]

My Dad is from Gadsden. One of the many things I enjoy about your videos, is you sound like half of my family.

[@airassault130]

I don't know how many videos of yours I've watched Richard but I love em all. Thanks for the fishin brother

[@drumking388]

I love watching your line jump before you set the hook. On most of the crappie that I catch, I never feel the fish until I set the hook. Hi vis line and watch it like a hawk. Grin.n

[@petehernandez6121]

Richard love your videos no matter what your fishing for. Keep making them.

[@steveverdick2632]

Love the video, Richard. The fun thing in watching this is you know your stuff. You know what kind of fish you got when they strike, something my grandpa taught me in lower Minnesota when I was little. Be a thrill to fish with you someday.
