Fishing For BIG Fish With Bluegill As Bait

[@Lee_Lee1776]

I'm so glad I found this man's channel. It's a goldmine for a amateur like me looking for tips and advice.

[@twonumber22]

it's been awhile for me but last I checked different states have different rules regarding using a gamefish as bait. might want to check yourself

[@fappydabear1774]

Yeah same for me. I've learned alot about catfish and crappie fishing from this guy.

[@EASTSIDERIDER707]

and he’s good company.

[@randywilson6869]

@@twonumber22 is sunfish gamefish anywhere

[@twonumber22]

@@randywilson6869 Yes. Even bass are a species of "sunfish", aren't they?

[@mikeup7517]

Thank you for the privilege of watching! I'm so glad I found your channel, not only because you're an excellent fisherman but also the fact your outlook is so optimistic. If my day isn't going quite right I can watch Gene and it puts a smile on my face. Thanks again and I think the "fish whisperer " is an appropriate title for you lol.

[@hookedonbassncats]

I love that you get the take and the clicker sounding off all on camera, and I really appreciate that cause it's almost like we are there with you. I get so excited hearing the clicker going off just like I do with a bobber down. Thanks for sharing Richard gene, your most definitely a fishing machine.

[@zachterry4710]

I’m a truck driver. I love how you’re always setting up in a spot where truckers working by. You’re the man!!!!!!

[@Lashon-o2p]

I'm a basic fisherman and you keep it simple and with the since of humor your a gold mine

[@mikerhodes2528]

Thanks for another day on the water , teaching and sharing your love of the sport second to none

[@jeremystanton382]

A lot of people tell me I'm the best fisherman they've ever seen, and as bad as my pride doesn't want me to say this,vyou are the best fisherman I've ever seen. Mainly because of the variety of species and techniques you excel in. 👍

[@ThoricAuthority]

Favorite channel on KZbin right now! Just got into cat fishing and I have learned a lot! Usually just go crappie and bass fishing so this is a nice change of pace

[@FishingwithFishgall]

Richard, I literally stumbled across your channel just yesterday. I'm pretty sure I've watched at least 65-70 videos lol. You're awesome. I go fishing, cause it's good fur me!!!

[@WanderingWeekends]

Got my Elmo’s Guide Service shirt today. Me and ole Elmo gon be the coolest cats at the pond.

[@AlexKashner]

Thank you Richard for making a point to say that fish of that size need to be supported from the back when being handled! So many people want that hold from the jaw photo but don’t think of what it’s doing to that fish. Thank you for spreading good information and good content !

[@GUNZUPMUSIC]

I rolled the living hell out of my ankle. I’ve been down for four days now. These videos get me excited to get back on the lake, when I heal. Thanks Richard. I appreciate the content.

[@derrickhelms1344]

GUNZ UP MUSIC get well soon my friend

[@tlemoine1335]

Love your videos Richard. You are obviously a great fisherman, but I think you're an even better human being. In my mind, you are what fishing is all about. The love of the sport, and the passing on of your love and knowledge of fishing to others, exceptional man! God bless and keep those videos coming.

[@jamespoppitz3336]

You gotta luv mean Gene the fishing machine....tons of know how and techniques...tons of humor and good fun....best freshwater show on..

[@nickislam2940]

Great videos, me and my 2 year old watch you every day. He gets so excited watching you catch fish. He loves the crappie and big cat videos.

[@louiewatson9389]

Richard's antics are the best. Always have me cracking up 😂.

[@9210IBJ]

Caught my biggest channel cat using bluegill strips per Richard, easily outfishes worms, doughbait, etc. Thanks for keeping things simple & yet effective

[@ryanfloyd1]

How funny, I was watching some of your videos about cat fishing with bluegill earlier today. I've never been catfishing really but I have the tackle and equipment to do it. I just got in a little bit ago, had a 50+ pound flathead break me off. Came home, and saw you had posted another video doing the same thing. Thanks for putting out great content. I'd love to get a chance to catch some cats with you. Bass and crappie and sandbass are all I've ever really fished for until now.

[@ChrisGarcia-gb9xl]

Great video Mr. Gene ! My kids and I love watching your videos.

[@MikeCostelloOutdoors]

I learn so much from watching your channel. It has made me a better fisherman and also to help my channel grow. Richard Gene for president

[@DavidPT40]

Hi Gene. I like that you practice catch and release and try to keep the fish healthy.

[@benosborne4399]

I ain’t even watch the whole thing yet but I love these catfishing videos

[@lnrailroad3215]

I've been a subscriber for a couple years now, & your catfishing videos are my favorite! I just ordered an Elmo's guilde service shirt, maybe he'll point me in the right direction!! Thanks Richard!!🎣

[@crazywildman23gaming82]

I would love to spend a day catfishing with the legendary fishing machine also known as Richard

[@taylorharbin3948]

Since he doesn’t eat then he would probably let you keep them, lol.

[@ronniejohnson3781]

Richard you are the catfish master!!! I also catfish and have a handful of Virginia flat head citations and blue cat citations, my dad taught me at a young age, funny part is my dad does everything you do down to knots hooks and bait line size and all

[@donaldyoung5473]

Totally enjoy you fishing for catfish and crappie in freshwater, while heading to Florida and wearing out those reds, specks & sheephead. You and Mama Sue stay blessed.

[@passion4castin]

You have helped me to catch some of my biggest fish Mr. Richard gene. I appreciate your knowledge always. I just started filming my own adventures and it's been so fun, thank you for the inspiration!

Beautiful day fishing! Thanks for the video Richard!

[@danieleshani9571]

You've got a good soul Mr Richard gene love watchin you fish

[@bobbynewton9247]

You are the fishing machine Richard!! God Bless my brother

[@jtee9548]

Now I want to see a "Fishing for Big Drum" video. Thanks for turning the Bite/Line indicator off! It always gets me when people leave the "clicker" on thinking that's the way the reel is supposed to sound, thanks. I've got an old Mitchel spinning reel that has one, we'd use it fishing the mud flats in an estuary after dark.

[@kennyw6932]

Thanks for sharing another catfish outing, Richard. Those were some nice cats. I'da snuck home with one of the smaller fish. Made my mouth water a weee bit. God Bless.

This place is beautiful has big fish Congratulations your fishing was incredible, you have good fishing equipment👍🎣😊.

[@airadaimagery692]

Nico Hamblin oh man, he’s freakin hilarious.. The first video I ever seen I thought he was some drunk acting like a fool in the parking lot by the river. Then he went and caught about 30 blue gill in just a few minutes. I was hooked on the channel ever since.

[@nicohamblin7718]

Man I’m telling you. The amount of quality information he gives you in such a short amount of time is amazing. I love catching catfish and bluegill. He’s the best for advice

Love watching you fish richard. I just started watching ya a a few months ago. It's a great channel I'd reccomend it to anyone, your very entertaining and very educational. I'm a live bait kinda fella love to see someone else use blue gill. Where I'm from live bait isn't used very much.

[@carloswaters9937]

Great fishing Richard! Your my most favorite fishing u tuber. Your entertaining and educational when I comes to different types of fishing you do. From the boat or from the bank. What's your biggest catfish and large mouth bass you ever caught? Thanks again my friend and hope to hear back from you on my questions.

Man Richard you were really tearing those catfish up! I'm going to try that technique of how you hook your bluegill on the bottom side next time I go catfishing with live bluegill. It looks like it works really good. Great videos always keep on doing your thing man!

I could have hooked you up with enough bait for 5yrs today if you were my neighbor here in Arkansas Richard. Our 6 acre pond turned over this morning and we had small bream/ crappie all over the pond at the top of the water gasping for air. But I managed to save around 100 catfish so we’re going to have one heck of a fish fry! Woo! Lol

THANKS for the details all the way down to the knots.👍🏿

[@SlumericanDream]

New viewer here. Felt like I was fishing with one of my uncles. Appreciate your work, Richard Gene!

[@whilburn2]

I know you catch and release, but like many others, i always threw away drum growing up. I dont anymore :) Fillet the drum, cut off the red blood line and meat. Then use Tempura batter and deep fry. It taste just like Capt. Ds fish. it is very mild, very white flaky meat. Very good :)

[@derekfisher8571]

I love this dude. Wish there was as good of fishin' here in WV as there is in TN! We have good flatheads on the Kanawha, but overall the catfishin' is way better there!

[@chrisbrown1459]

I love your channel. I caught a bunch of 3-4" bluegills and most of them died over night. I had them in a aereator bucket too. How do you keep yours live?

[@johnnywillkie7356]

Mr Gene I love your videos you make it look so easy. I went to lake guntersville two this week fishing off the road but I've not caught nothing over 3lb using shed and skipjack. I really would like to know where to go to catch good cats at. Thanks Johnny
