My uncle used to take me crappie fishing in Georgia. He called them speckled perch also. Some of my fondest memories from my childhood were those fishing trips.

[@michaelferik8060]

Outstanding info Richard. The smaller shank size of a #8 hook is less stress on the bait as well as just piercing the upper part of its mouth to let it 'breathe' easier while hooked. Also lengthening the line length from the split shot to the hook lets the shad swim more freely, which drives the crappie crazy.

[@lexwaldez]

You, good sir, are a fishing scholar and gentleman, and that's what I appreciates about you.

Good morning, Richard. I pray y'all are all good from the hurricane. Thank you for all that you do to share your knowledge with us. Really appreciate your scriptures in the description. God bless y'all, and I ray y'all will all stay safe and healthy.

[@brianlykins6663]

Hey, Richard, another good un. You had the best fishin incentive today that there is, Mama Sue said she wanted some fish. When you said that, I knew you were gonna have a good day. Sure do appreciate all the tips and shared knowledge that you give us. You did the smart thing, weather comes up. It's much better to just get somewhere and sit it out. Especially in that flat bottom boat. God bless y'all and stay safe out on the water.

[@Mustang8846]

Hi Mr. Richard. Thank you for taking us along on another great outing, and for sharing your fishing tips and techniques. I am glad you made it home safely. God bless.

[@travfunfishing]

Thanks for the explanation. It's easy to understand and expand my knowledge for fishing. Greetings from Borneo

[@AlabamaWildman24]

Your bait catching skills are top notch Richard, over the years of watching you thats waht i alwags pick up on.

[@FarmerJohn-ux5ml]

Legend has it that Richard has actually caught small fish in a can of Tomato Soup…. Don’t doubt the master of all things fish.

[@lipbustersfishing7425]

[@jamesscroggins646]

I’m really happy that you decided to go crappie fishing. I almost forgot all you taught us about crappie fishing. Awesome video as always

[@rl2109]

That was a fine box of fish, Richard! You made Momma Sue proud! God bless ALL of us! WWG1WGA

[@indymac7]

The rain reminds me of a time I was fishing on a dock at Monroe Lake in Indiana. The rain started, but I was catching some nice crappie. I went up to a shelter to wait out the rain. It didn't want to let up. So I remembered I had an umbrella in my truck, so I went and fetched it out...headed back to the dock, cast with my right hand. I held the umbrella under my left arm, held my rod and reel with my left hand, and reeled with my right. I kept catching fish in the rain. Hillarious to my friend who stayed at the shelter. Nice video to stir up some memories.

[@irkahous6945]

Love seeing gene still at it and making these information videos for us. god bless

[@want2boutdoors274]

The simplicity of Richard's techniques when fishing is uncomparable. For him to only have 361k followers baffles me. Kudos to you, Mr. Gene and I love your videos sir.

[@ericpierce4510]

Evening Mr Richard Gene, You my friend aren't loosing much, if any. I just wish I could gain and retain the crappie knowlege you hold in half your pinky. Man o Man. I spent my first 19 yrs being drug around to Marine Bases all over So. Calif. Then Spent the next 16 years being a Soldier myself...(well cooking for them anyway, with all kinds of screwy hrs), then Drove a truck all over the country for an other 17 yrs before my knee and back said no more of this stuff. So Now I'm taking care of momma and fishin when I can...and when I can't, well here I am...You are the man my friend...

This man is a living legend! He knows his stuff and I have learned so much from him. He just fished a lake not even 10 mins down the road from me here in tennessee woods resovour and I wish I could have been there just to shake his hand I have seen every video he has done. He will always be the crappie king. Don't ever stop making knowledgeable videos for beginners and even experienced. Never to young or old to learn about fishing. God bless mister machine!!

[@racerxv6valvoline424]

Mr. Richard, thank you for making videos like this. I am new to crappie fishing and I was hoping to find something or someone to help me learn how to fish in this manner. Here in South Carolina I believe we have very similar water ways and I believe I know of a few spots where I can deploy this technique. Again, thank you and hopefully you got home safe...

Thanks RG for another Great Video. I have caught many crappie where you tied up while it was raining. I live north of you on the Mt about 5 miles north of Ider. I keep hoping i will run into you one day and shake your hand and thank you personally. Fish under the bridge at South Sauty a lot and catfish the causeway on 227 at the grain bins in G-ville. Maybe we will meet one day. I have family at Tenbrook & Grove Oak. God Bless and keep fishing It's good fer us .

Remember that question when you were a kid in elementary school that asked something like, “If you could meet and spend a day with anyone, who would it be and what would you do?” I’d be fishing with Richard.

[@pittschapelfarm2844]

"your guess is as good as mine" ....THAT cracked me up.

[@ellisritz7654]

Wish I could target Crappie like you, Arizona in lakes with no bridges is much different.

[@randy276]

How were you staying still at the bridge? Always look forward to the next time.

[@Kurtdog63]

You don't realize how loud thunder is until you get caught out on a lake in a storm. Stayed out to long a few years back. Thought I had time to make it back, but a finger of the storm crossed the lake in between me and the boat ramp. Lightning was hitting the hillsides all around me. I had my ear pushed down against one shoulder and one hand on my other ear trying to drive the boat with my free hand. It was like I was in a war zone with bombs landing around me. The wind was so bad at the ramp the boat loaded onto the trailer half sideways leaning to one side, but I was just glad to still be alive to fish another day.

[@MySORRELL]

THANKS!

[@rocksandoil2241]

[@kyawhan3690]

Hello Mr. Gene. Thank you very much for the videos. I got into crappie fishing after watching your videos. I fish for nothing but crappie. I live in California central cost and the lake I fish has no bridge columns nor docks. Live bait is not readily available either, so I solely have to use plastic jigs (Bobby Garland, crappie magnet, slab tail) . I fish from a kayak. I just bought a fish finder but I haven't figured out how to set it up so that I could see the fish. It has been very hot here lately (over 100 degrees) and the surface water temp is about (80 degrees). I couldn't catch anything for weeks now. I feel totally defeated. How do I look for crappie in our "featureless lake" during such hot summer days? How should I present the bait and how deep should I target? Thank you very much for your advise and kindness. God bless!

[@markinnis8404]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 great guy!!

[@rick4649]

Great video sir. Question, how do you mark your line to measure depth?

[@gregloftis5271]

Hey Richard , Have you ever used a crankbait for crappie fishing?
