What’s cool about this awesome guy is, the information he gives, like the water temp on top. That’s an important key to fishing for boaters and bankers, and not to mention he goes into detail about the tackle, awesome just awesome guy for the fishing lovers in the world. Thank you Richard and I hope and pray all of your desires come to past in this ol life of ours. You’s a bad m********a in the best way possible.

[@themilepodcast1132]

I Lost my grandfather to complications do to covid last December, he’s the one who shared his love of fishing with my brother and I. We’d go on trips to Canada together for walleye and I caught my first catfish out of his pond as a kid. Every since I’ve found This channel I feel like I have some guidance and humor that I lost when my grandfather passed. I really love the videos man

[@keithdetter8776]

I absolutely and thoroughly like your videos, you have a magical way of showing fishing methods and techniques that no one else can match, Love your introductions and especially your sign off's they make me laugh and b ring tears all at the same time.

I agree he is very informative I like Catfish Dave also .He is also very helpful when it comes to being helpful.

[@JMason-Outdoors]

I used to never use anything smaller than 8 pound line. But after watching your videos for so long I have been using 6lb and 4lb test mono a lot more and I am glad I did. Its so much more fun. And makes you a better fisherman.

How does Richard Gene the Fishing Machine only have 240k viewers?!?!?!? He should have a million with all this quality content. We really all need to pull together and share this channel with friends... just sayin.

[@downdirty8543]

I grew up on the Missouri River. Dad was a commercial fisherman and most of my time was spent as a boat pilot running up & down the ole muddy from net to net. Once all the hoop nets were raised & checked and re-set we’d set trammel nets behind the dykes and sit on them for hours. Dad wasn’t much of a sport fisherman but when he did fish rod & reel it was always like what you are doing here. He used light tackle. Never failed he’d boat monsters. I remember one summer afternoon we were tied off at the mouth of the Moreau, dad set the hook on a cat, the rod bent nearly in two and then nothing, it was like time froze. That old cat just hunkered down on bottom and didn’t move. 15 minutes later the water boiled and I laid my eyes on a trophy flathead. I was only 14 at the time and was literally awe struck watching dad horse that old yellow cat into the boat without a net. At the time I didn’t have the patience he had, he’d let them fight and tore them out, it was sorta magical. Now I have kids and we still live on the Mighty MO, my boy fishes now and all we do is rod & reel. I enjoyed your video. Keep it up. Love how clean and mod free tour boat is.

Richard your channel is without a doubt the best. You explain everything we need to know to catch every species from Florida to Connecticut. Thank you we appreciate you. God Bless you and the family.

[@dongaetano3687]

Mr Machine, Rich if I may, great video! Nice pace, easy to listen to, clear instructions. No big words necessary but I'll give you a a French phrase to describe the video..."C'est Magnifique"!! (It is Great or Magnificent) Just getting back into pleasure boating and fishing, mostly my old 17' Michicraft Canoe, with Minkota and new Lithium battery. Stuck wooden back rests in the canoe 30 yrs ago and lent the boat to a family for the last 20. Now have boat back and love it. 71 yr old carpenter and Vietnam vet here, working part time. So more time for fun. Love the light tackle fishing. Used 8 lb mono line to catch blue fish and stripers in salt water, steel leader. Mostly in my wooden dory but also in a sea kayak. Caught a 2' striper that towed me a bit in the kayak, great fun!! Thought I was pulling him in but realized, I was pulling the kayak to him. Will use the rubber band setup, great stuff. Never went for cats primarily, but will be going out soon, Connecticut River runs through Mass near where I am and the Merrimack in New Hampshire near my daughter's - will be going out real soon. That the story of this city kid who made it out to more rural Western MA and love it out here. Heaven.

I usually fish bass, started fishing for channels in NY and caught 2 decent size channels on liver. Got a question, can I use bluegill as bait that I catch from a different body of water? Will they still eat it if it’s from a different body of water? Dumb question ik lol

Now, Richard, you have me wondering how many 61 pounders I’ve had break off my light line. Probably none for me, but I saw you pull in that 61 pound blue on light tackle and WOO! Well, the sport of fishing is second to none. In my opinion.

[@machinegunpreacher2469]

Right man. For some reason people want to get in a spitting contest over gear these days. But the reality is, nobody needs $5-a-piece hooks and a $1200 combo with $120 line to catch good fish. I've caught thousands of fish on "cheap" equipment though, I've been using higher end gear for the past few years. No amount of money can make up for technique and the last thing anybody should do is worry about impressing his buddies with a blooming fishing rod.

[@no1uno99]

Richard, one more question, What do you think about eating fish out of the Tennessee River between Guntersville Dam and Wheeler Dam? I would eat them 35 years ago but with all of the industry there now I am not sure. What is your opinion ?

[@lpatrick357]

In Alabama they have a website where they test fish from all the rivers and share info. It tells how many fish per month you can safely eat and shares what they are measuring.
