[@oldmanfred8676]

Bean’s, ‘taters AND CORNBREAD! Golly Mama Elmo!

[@linkgrayson8994]

That Shakespeare ultra light reel is so recognizable but those are good rods the reel that comes with it works just as well as the rod I've caught several fish over the rods weight limit great rod and reel both very sensitive but they'll hold up to a larger fish as long as you're fishing properly

[@shellcrackerlover5889]

Shellcrackers are my favorite fish. We've got some dandys here on Ky Lake.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Very fun to catch! Thank you for watching Theasomevloger!

[@gillgetter3004]

I caught a few messes lately but I release to the grease. Release most but keep a meal or two. Up here in Michigan those worms are known as red wigglers. I use wax worms on a jig hook they dont seem to swallow as bad. Elmo is missing some great fishing!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I know it Bruce I just don't know about ole Elmo! Thanks for watching Bruce!

[@ldell15]

You're a man of your word! You said you'd do more bluegill vireos and you've started way before l thought you would. I'm learning more with every video. Thanks everything you can teach me will aid my learning process. Cause I'm gonna go fishing when I can "Cause it's Good for Me"!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

[@JonBecker81]

I knew the second he took the fish off the hook right next to the bucket that fish was gonna peace out. 😂

[@CumberlandOutdoorsman]

This makes me want to go to my favorite shellcracker spot and wet a line. Might do it this weekend. I may even make a video on it. Great fishing video that brings back some fond memories, keep it up. How could anyone give this a thumbs down, unless they never had this kind of fun.

[@fishing4reel479]

Trooper going in after that shellcracker! Nice job!👊💥

[@brittpereira8554]

I work to dam much but this pass weekend I caught a mess of shellcrackers for the frying pan and your video reminded me of of last Saturday evening

[@jamespannell8228]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm dying over here!!! Them snakes!!!

[@adamparsons1725]

LOL, my boy called me, had to watch it again! Funny how videos can incite such memories! Of coarse he remembered it different than I recall! As MY memory serves, I whooped his donkey! "Sure, you did...NOT" he said. My response..."Its my memory and I can lie if I want too". His first fish WAS a 5 lb bass, at 3 yrs old. I caught a wee blue gill and we had to keep them. I still remember clearly, "Mommy needs to see how good I did"! So naturally, I filled the bath tub and waited on Mommy. Know what he kept saying? "Daddy, my big fish is gonna eat your baby one!" YEP, created a monster lol Thanks again for posting the vid! Boy did I catch some grief, fish in the tub was wrong. Who would a guessed it? lol

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you for watching Adam!

[@codyanderson4292]

[@sonyamalain2696]

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

[@cameronmoultry6570]

Sonya Malain llplllop

[@YosemiteScubaDiver]

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

[@revtruetothegamerevtruetot890]

Love it! From REELS AND HOOKERS, in Christ. Where is Elmo?. Will the real Elmo go fishing...Please! Have anyone seen Elmo? Is he on a milk carton, yet.

[@adamparsons1725]

I am noticing a theme in this video! Every time you have one in your hand, and you say"Im fish hungry, or I need to cook some of these fellers..." They get out of dodge lol Bama fish understand English? lol I think its the Bear hat you had on lol. Best Shell Cracker fishing I ever got into was just behind The Mud Creek BBQ at boat ramp near Fackler, Al Me and my boy, yes day out of school for him. Was April 18 2007, filled up a 5 gallon bucket of BIGUNS! We had bright Volunteer orange hats on!!! Secret weapon tip for your videos lol Keep up the good fishing,Brother. Brought back some great memories

[@6473fr]

Great video, thank you for sharing.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you for watching Frank!

[@95thousandroses]

Good to see someone keeping fish because they are actually "fish hungry" and not just to he can brag about how full is freezer is.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Great job...You are taking us back to the way we fished as kids.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

It does bring alot of memories back using this technique! Thanks for watching Greg!

[@ryanwilcox8866]

It’s not funny but I couldn’t help but laugh when you lost that first shell cracker😂

[@Winterwraith]

Love the video, you are hilarious. You have me as a new fan, will keep watching.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Winterwraith glad you enjoyed it!

[@dustyflair]

What amazes me is how many different species you target and know where each is and what bait, hooks, lb test, boat, reel, pole...its just amazing...you are the first person I have seen that knows more about fishing than I do.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Rick! I enjoy catching all species! If it swims I'm interested in catching it!

[@whippersnapper2699]

Nice fishing keep up the good work.

[@xandervo5446]

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

[@frankribble4367]

I sure would like to go fishing with you & help you catch some for Elmo. My GF doesn't want to eat Panfish, so I fish for Catfish & bigger species. I can't believe I am going on vacation in Tennessee tommorow, without my poles. Lol.

[@davidhess7821]

Used to go bluegill fishing with my grandfather on a fly rod

[@ghetinknotabush8602]

WHAT WE HAVE HERE...is a failure to communicate! that worm had a hook in it & the fish got way upset when they found out! hahaha

[@iamremy-kl3xm]

Awesome 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤙🏾

[@GuntersvilleLakeFishing]

elmo's gonna have to go out and catch his own fish to eat if he wants some fried fish lol.. will he ever learn? hope so! lol

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

You got that right Matt, Elmo won't even clean his own fish, I end up cleaning them fer him lol.

[@GuntersvilleLakeFishing]

Richard Gene The Fishing Machine I know it's cause you haven't taught him Richard! lol

[@jimbilbrey298]

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

[@joeltrussell1]

Why in the world would you let that delicious dinner go??!!

[@fishingislife6778]

Shell crackers taste better than crappies fight harder and look almost like crappies one of the best panfish to go after I absolutely love them

[@stevepickett4258]

You should get you a twin troller x 10 it is a two man go it would be perfect for that pond

[@joe301218]

c'mon Richard...was hoping to see you do a catch and cook!!! how do you cool them smaller fish? whole....fillets?

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I will do this soon! Thanks for watching Joe301218!

[@tvideo1189]

Hard to do that in Florida, you would be sharing those fish with the gators.

[@MVolta09]

When I fish in a lake that has that kind of vegetation, I don't catch sunfish. I catch black bullheads. 🤣

[@nancycopple4204]

We call them. RED EAR UP HERE IN THE NORTH.

[@tntrucker1964]

Hello Mr. Gene, I was wandering what rod you was using with the 2lb line? Thanks Tony a East Tennessee fan. P.s. I just look over that crimson hat you wear sometimes!! LOL

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you for looking over my hat Tony! I'm also a Tennessee fan because we cousins! The rod I'm using is an ultra light shakespear rod. It's really just a cheapo from walmart but it works well!

[@tntrucker1964]

Thanks for your fast reply, what length rod is it? Thanks again Tony.

[@Photograph1974]

Hold on to your fish!!

[@rodneycordell7333]

I don't want to even watch any one else! They!!!!

[@matthewcornelison4786]

Lol my boy calls them cracker fish

[@stevepickett4258]

You should do a video how do you Fillet your Shellcracker and bluegill

[@Hillbillywoodrum]

Woo Woo. .Woo

[@Donovan1172]

Copperheaded-water-rattlers!

[@sonyamalain2696]

😂😂😂Yes sir

[@davidjones6911]

man I think you could catch fish in a mud hole great job

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Lol thank you David!

[@angelasheppard7197]

Are you wading out there in plain sneakers? I'm curious if you have dedicated shoes to do this with?😊

[@Just4funTravel]

Richard, make a video on the floating bucket

[@rosswatkins2277]

what length rod are you using i usually fish specks in louisiana fished bream when i was younger

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

it is a 5 1/2 ft shakespear ultra light walmart special! lol Thanks for watching Ross!

[@williamwerner8118]

Watch your step there Elmooooooo, wooot, wooot!! You might get alllllllll wet!! Lol

[@bassanglerxxx8444]

Hey mr Gene question is bluegill fishing better with or without floats....with lice worms that is?

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

If the water is real clear I'll usually go with just a hook and worm no weight. If the water is dindgy then a float would work fine. I have a new bluegill video coming up soon! Thank you so much Shun barkley!

[@bassanglerxxx8444]

Yes sir cant wait

[@vaughnwilliams6512]

try them on a flyrod sometime such is a hoot bless ya

[@mikethurman9504]

Do a bass video on guntersville, im fishing up there on th 17th, any help would be greatly appreciated gene.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Will do Mike!

[@Jesuslovesyou929]

woooo...haaaa...zeeek...dammnnn...lordy jesus christ...i lllooovveee it...great vids..

[@TheJhood451]

After all that work and you dumped them out? NOOOII! You were making me "fish hungry".

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Your right I ain't going to do that next time Elmos got to eat!

[@punchotheking1469]

Nothing like putting em in the bucket

[@jerk5828]

You are tearing em up in this video. making me Jones a bit

[@meshallejames8152]

Jerk I thought I was the only one feeling that way. lol

[@jasonfuessel2961]

How often do sunfish build beds?

[@MrChopper12]

Who's pond is that you're fishing in, buddy?

[@williamaichinger2358]

you need to use a rag to keep the fish from slipping out of your hands

[@jzen76]

I guess beans and taters are what's for dinner, cleaning fish is a bitch 🙏♾🥰...Fun thing fishin is💫...

[@johnbernard6014]

You should try kayak fishing. I would like to watch that.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I plan on getting me a Kayak! Looking for one right now! Any brand recommendations? I'm not too familiar with them but i want one! They would be great for my smallmouth creek trips

[@johnbernard6014]

I went threw them all. My faverate is a KC kayak, but any of them work as long as it's at least 34inch wide and has swivel seat.. MAKE SURE YOU GET SWIVEL SEAT!!!! Kayaks are small you can't stand and turn around. Without a swivel seat a kayak is nearly impssible to fish with. Just my 2 cents. Swivel seat!!!

[@fishinwithcane8245]

Have you ever caught bass on worms?

[@YosemiteScubaDiver]

do you prefer to fillet or scale and gut them?

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

I've Done both, but i like fillet better.

[@YosemiteScubaDiver]

me too. hate the bones.

[@TheTechGuider]

can you do detailed video on how to jig from the bank for panfish

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

yes sir Nucc's Garage, I believe I will do this in my very next video!

[@TheTechGuider]

Awesome!

[@tieshaadams2804]

Ohio Outdoors in

[@davidstokes925]

I know you don’t eat fish very often but like you said throughout this video, how a mess of bream tastes, why let ‘em go?
