How To Fish A Spinnerbait - BIG FISH!!! You Won't Believe What I Caught!

[@JK-co6wk]

Richard Gene, I just thought I'd let you know. My neighbor and fishing buddy for the past three years passed away Wednesday. We both watched every video you put out and enjoyed talking about the new ideas we got from them. We both learned a lot from you. His name is Dennis Sutton he was 61 years young and an avid fisherman. I went o over to talk to him about possibly going fishing Friday and found him laying on the floor. He passed from a heart attack. He was a very good friend to me and I'm deeply saddened by the loss. He lived by himself and I knew he had health issues in the past so I always made it a habit to go check on him and talk to him at least every few days. We both enjoyed working on his cars, boat, and going fishing together. I opened KZbin this evening and seen your video and it kind of hit me hard. I'm not a very emotional kind of guy but it immediately made me think of him as tears swelled up in my eyes. I'll never forget the day he caught his Personal best largemouth bass (9lb 7oz.) To a dear friend, Dennis Sutton, May heaven open the gates to let you in and have a fishing pole waiting for you on the other side. I'll miss you, Rest easy my friend.

[@catfish6138]

Been trying to catch up with my father in law to fish tomorrow, for the same reason...ill health (and old age)...don't want to miss an opportunity to do what's good fer' us. RIP to your friend Dennis. Younger than me...crazy.

JK sorry to hear about your loss good hunting and fishing buddies are hard to come by

[@jtee9548]

I'm sorry too.

[@webservant-dan7757]

JK a prayer going up and condolences for you and your buddy's family. A good fishing buddy is sometimes hard to find.

Man I never get tired of hearing GO FISHIN WHEN YOU CAN, BECAUSE IT'S GOOOOD FER YA

[@rickkunz5162]

I concur ! 👍

[@alanhelton]

My ten-year-old daughter and I snuggled up together to watch this video and I just want to say thank you Richard for that experience. We like watching fishing cuz it's good for us!!!

[@duanemccarron9549]

Youre a treasure Richard! Now that professional bass fishing has officially entered the twilight zone, it's refreshing to see a man fish purely for joy and relaxation. Corporate suits have destroyed this aspect of fishing for many, for the lure of paychecks and pride. $500 boat payments, 25 rods and reels, 3 12" sonars, and the $1000's of dollars in gas has stolen the joy from so many anglers. Thank you for helping us keep the right perspective.

[@gizmobob7987]

Fishing has been corrupted over the years no doubt. Tournament fishing and all that goes with it - 'go fast' boats, racing from point to point, hawking the lure of the week, lack of patience, lack of civility, etc. etc. I do not watch any fishing tournaments on tv any more. It is so refreshing to watch Richard Gene. He is entertaining AND informative.

[@winstonrocco1981]

Think your numbers are off boats are 60 thousand plus lots of guys at the lake with payments for twenty year terms. I do own a lot of tackle but my boat is a ranger rt 188 which is all I need

[@dougalexander7204]

Much respect RGTFM. Learn something every time. “Only 10% of a lake has fish the rest is barren desert.” Bless you, Momma Sue and your family. Your a good man.

[@matthewjohnson4957]

My 13 yr old son found your channel and showed me. We watch everyone and now always say "GO FISHIN WHEN YOU CAN, BECAUSE IT'S GOOOOD FER YA" when we go fishing. Enjoy the videos!!!

[@gregusmc2868]

Just wanted to thank you for all your work putting up videos. This old marine doesn’t get out on the water as much as he used to in the old days and your videos are always guaranteed to put a smile on my face. God bless ya. Keep your powder dry and your line wet and stay safe out there! Semper Fi. Go Bucks! (And Roll Tide-unless they’re playing us) 😂👍❤️

[@royletort9586]

Richard, you are just so much fun to watch and learn from..........

[@lanecobb2462]

...”because remember only 10% of any lake holds the fish...the rest of it’s just barren desert.” TRUTH and one of the most valuable lessons you have taught me through your channel Mr. Gene. You are always fishing over FISH. Sight fishing in a clear water small stream or river, shooting docks, fishing live bait or jigs around bridge pilings, watching for bird or bait activity at the surface, eddies along the river bank, searching out rock piles with your depth finder, whatever...always where the fish are.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Those were my favorite lures to use for bass when I was a kid. Cool to see them in action again. Thanks Richard! 👍

[@kosmicorder9820]

I’ve been watching for a while and I’m finally convinced Richard is the best fisherman of all species of fish

Ol Richard Gene, you are one helluva fisherman. I love your videos and you do a great job of teaching and explaining everything you do. Keep up the good work and thanks for the great content.

[@cannedlaughter2535]

"There we go!" That's precisely the same expression I use when I hook a fish. It just comes oughta my mouth. I love to fish a spinnerbait when the fish will bite it. Almost without exception, they always seem to really hammer it.

[@terencebragg6240]

[@gregmiller1844]

Thanks for taking us along fishing. I like the way you keep it simple. I am waiting on your next kayak fishing video.

My 10 year old daughter caught a massive channel catfish (biggest one I've ever seen) on a tiny half inch Gulp minnow. I was very impressed!

[@stevelancaster6303]

My wife was sleeping on the couch and heard several episodes of you channel. The next day she walked up to me and I said, "Woo.....Wooo" and she said, "Quit". Today at the local pond I could see the black crappie on bed. I caught one but all the others were staying put.

[@rifleman1873]

Love your videos. They are always informative and interesting.

[@lexwaldez]

I do like a stinger on a spinnerbait, but I suck at fishing with spinners. Hopefully this helps! =) I use aquarium tubing on the trailer hook so it keeps the stinger straight and doesn't hang up on things on a cast. Give 'er a try Mr. Gene!

[@webservant-dan7757]

Another great video Richard. Thank you for all the time and work y'all devote to the channel, which I believe is the best fishing channel on KZbin. I caught a 2-1/2# channel cat on a white spinner bait in 3-1/2 feet of water on Caddo Lake in East Texas a few years ago. Keep up the great work. I look forward to your videos each week. ~ dandeman

Hi Richard, my wife and I really enjoy watching your videos. Watch all the new ones and go back and watch some of the older ones every day. Eventually we will watch all of them.
