Slip Corkin' For Monster Crappie! How To Rig A Slip Bobber & Minnow

[@TheTennfisher]

I hope you realize how much those of us who don't get to fish nearly as much as we would like live vicariously through your videos. And your explanations of technique are, to use your words, "second to none". Thanks again Richard

[@thehbkkid107]

I’ve never had anyone to teach me how to fish and these videos are so helpful!

[@snicklefritzd3612]

Kidd, you just find someone who fishes, and as long as you are a good humble person, they will be happy to teach you.

[@jerryswope1797]

Where are you located? I'm going fishing a lot because I'm retired

[@Offsides09]

I had a good day today, Richard. I caught a 15 1/2 inch, 2.1 lbs. crappie. 2nd biggest of my life…They!

[@Chalz108]

That's a good'n

[@aldavis2924]

Hey did you use the setup he preferred in this video?

[@Matthew-qk1xi]

Ain't nothing I mean nothing like watching a crappie take a float under! Thanks RGTFM and God bless all!!!

[@sbhcmcc]

100% right. I grew up fishing with cane poles and minnows and ain’t nothing like it. I didn’t even know you could catch em any other way till I was in my 20s but that’s still my go to method

[@PaleRider54]

What I really love is watching a BIG crappie take a minnow. You can tell he's a big one when the float just squats a bit for the first foot or so, then goes down as he moves away.

[@TravisLambert]

Richard Gene, great video, your fishing show is as good as any pro show produced, great entertainment and educational

[@brianlykins6663]

Thank you, Richard, for another great fishin trip. Ain't nothing better than live bait, and watching that cork go under. There is one thing better, taking a kid or grandkids and watching them do it. God blessed you with the knowledge to fish, and better, with the ability to teach and pass on that knowledge. God bless ya'll for all you do for us. Ya'll stay safe out on the water.

[@bradleyhattendorf7136]

Richard has the best fishing show!! There are hundreds of fishing shows on the utube, but Richard takes the cake. No nonsense, techniques, fishing, and entertainment!!

[@shoalscatfishjonathan]

That was fun, this video takes me back 30 years when I was in middle school and we'd have a tutorial on a subject matter and then go on a field trip. 👍

[@TNAROHfan]

I wish I would have went to your middle school.

[@sealot2420]

Richard thank you so much. My notes are up to the ceiling now from watching your videos. I think I'm writing notes more than I'm fishing.

[@robertpoitevint2952]

Richard you have met your calling! Loved the time you took to show us your set up. The bonus is you took it out on the water and showed us how deadly that technique works. I hope you share some more of your technique in some more videos. If you teach a man to fish you can feed him for life. God bless you!

[@JanetWilham]

I know a lake in Ohio that at a depth of less than a foot I was slaying them!!!!!!!!--this old 75 year old grandma!!!!!! people get out on the water and fish!!!!!! God gave it to ya now use it.💗💗✝✝

❤🙏🏼

[@jamesloerzel4377]

This guy has the passion for crappies my dad had... I remember being 10 years old and watching him hook a 4# crappie, then a 3.25# crappie back to back... The 2 biggest crappies I've ever seen in my life... I learned about catch and release that day... Which there wasn't much of in the early 80's... It was just catching on with bass fishing, at that time.

[@dirtybuzzard5977]

Awesome Video Sir . I love bobber fishing for crappie , bream or even catfish. It takes me back when I was a kid and fishing with my Dad.. Stay safe Sir and Keep’em coming.. WOOOO

[@rodneyharris3265]

Slab Daddy's! Great info. Thanks Richard!

[@CareyLeavins]

Buddy I absolutely love watching your videos!! I’ve learned a whole lot about crappie fishing especially !! Thank you so much!!!

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

That push mower got me excited!!! Almost mowing season and I absolutely love to mow!!! It's very relaxing 😌 😎 another EPIC video Richard

[@mandovapehater6988]

Come on over! You can mow and I'll fish!

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

@@mandovapehater6988 sounds like a plan!!!! Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee

[@BrandonHiggins-u8q]

God bless you brother i loved the show as always

[@andrewszot3094]

Uni bobberstop is going to help my steelhead fishing too. Thanks!

[@TimEdwards-sx2pq]

If you get a salmon loaded with row it's like gold. Preload your snail hooks with row covered with spawn sacs throw them in the freezer in a Ziploc bag then then just reaching your cooler pull out your bad as you need it and it doesn't even get your beer all fishy tasting

[@Bfish17]

Simple as it gets! Good video

[@THEDEUCE.GOESFISHING]

Thanks for teaching me how to rig that slip bobber, crappie fishing tomorrow 🥲, WOOOOO !!!!

[@Mustang8846]

Hi Mr. Richard. I really appreciate your demonstration on how to setup this rig, and especially showing it in action. Another great fishing outing and great video. Thank you and keep them coming. God bless to you and your family.

[@billgalante1181]

Richard , great video, you are a great teacher, thank you so much.

[@keithwoods3090]

Another great video from the man the myth and the legend, keepum coming my friend!

[@allboatnotackle3698]

Thanks for the diy bobber stop tutorial! I thought I was the only person on the planet that had problems with the store bought ones.

[@Fishingdad257]

I have just found your channel sir but I have been fishing roughly half of my life (I am 26 years old) yet I still very much like a newbie when I watch fishing tip videos because I learn so much and your channel is the best I have found. You explain things thoroughly, I mostly am stuck pond/bank fishing but I still have been taking notes! Thank you sir! Appreciate you!

[@jerryswope1797]

We've been catchin pound Crappie here lately. thanks for the video. i got me in the mood to get out and go.

[@johncremeans969]

This is the best bober stopper method I have ever heard of thank you thank you

[@ifishcatfish]

u gona LOVE my floats when they get here in 2 weeks.., mr Machine!

[@henrykosky3919]

Thnx Gene..love ya man.

[@mapleholler9800]

For fishing deeper, I like the little rubber football bobber stops. They till hang up on the cast, but not as much as the string knots. As long as the line is wet, they can be slid up and down the line, if need be. They come on a kind of wire spider, where the legs have a loop the you pass the line through and pull the footbal off the wire onto the line. And they come in different sizes for different weight lines. Thanks for the video. Very informative and fun to watch.

[@boomer5101]

Always enjoy your videos and there is nothing like watching a crappie pull a bobber under, Headed to Tenn. in April to visit family on the river. Stay safe!

[@Tigdude]

Thanks for the slip knot trick, I'll definitely be using it. Good to see you again..

[@milehigh3054]

Best dude ever!

[@terranceleonard68]

The best fishing channel on youtube God bless you and have a great day on the water

[@keithwest6859]

Thanks for the great teaching video!

[@dannybennett7483]

Some people just don't know what it's like just being happy. Catch and release is the best happiness there is. (Woo) You can eat a fish once and he's gone. You can catch an release and catch again. (Woo) Pure happiness

[@kenelliott846]

Thank you Richard, super great info and video! God's blessings always! 😇

[@benaraujo6947]

Awesome. Best fishing show ever.

[@imsowright90]

Thanks for your teachings. You do a very good job.

[@DianeJackson-so1ze]

ALWAYS LOVE YOUR CONTENT 😄. THANK U SO MUCH SIR, I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH. AND REMEMBER GO FISHIN ' WHEN YA CAN BECAUSE IT'S GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!

[@jega157]

Thank you for the blessing

[@DddDdd-dd6pd]

🙂Great videos Richard, you are always sharing your knowledge and experience which can lead to better catching. Suggestion, frequently you refer to shad-bait fish, maybe you have already done so but could you do a vid on how or where you find these critters in a big river system such as the Tennessee,

[@valrieswanigan980]

I LOVE crappie fishing ! Your video is awesome !

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

What a great tutorial! I’m more of a hands on learner though! I need to come do that in person! 😂

[@AlbertWood-tj3gc]

What brand slip cork were you using in this video?

[@keithwalker5078]

love the specificity of your videos RG.

[@loegemini-tl2qi]

YOUR THE MAN!! Richard THANKS

[@dougschindler7976]

your videos are Flippen awesome, thank you

[@providencevalleyfarm5270]

Thanks for the video! I may never be able to get outside to catch a Crappie, but watching you videos is the next best thing. P.S. I subscribed as soon as I read your verse from Ephesians. Lord Bless.

[@jeremyjohnson1872]

Think i just found my new fishing channel, much love and respect Keep Fishing

[@MrYelporgobble]

I love that you you release big crappie so I can put them in my live well. Release in the grease2024

[@TNAROHfan]

I got turned onto the tiny little trout floats this spring out of necessity. Somehow forgot my bag with floats in it and had to run to Wally World. The only thing they had that I thought I would like (hate the spring floats) were the bag of Trout magnets. There is a ton of them in the pack for 9 bucks plus a cheap bag of Mr Crappie slip ties and I was good to go. You can rig them not to slip with the black plastic insert too if you choose. It's now may favorite and a heck of a lot cheaper than Thill or even Mr Crappie.

[@Billster1955]

Thanks Richard. I'll try that uniknot.

[@tunaclone1456]

awesome tip thank you

[@larryabrams3559]

Thank GOD for RGTFM and our feet. I am disable but when I see these guys with no legs, I thank GOD for mine. Great video, my favorite fish. Looking for the bobber drop.

[@wh8085]

[@kaganasmr6775]

[@davidb1327]

You the man 👍🐟

[@jonathanholt402]

Richard is the man love the videos

[@DebbieFord-e2i]

Im old. I've been crappie fishing 60 years. Richard Gene knows it well. I've seen crappie do some strange things. Hit on the left side of a 1 foot stump, nothing on the right. Lazy. Best eating fillets to me. Good Luck to All.

[@CalvinJoubertFishing]

Best crappie teacher

[@rodneypearcy4221]

Was you fishing any kinda structure?? Love all your videos, so informational. Thank you sir

[@charlesross1682]

That is the best crappie hook agreed and same design #8 for trout

[@reissener123]

Another great video, Richard!

[@Catfish2255]

I use the same hooks. Have for years and they are great for big minnows.

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

That looked like coy sipes on that dock wooooooooooo!!!

[@walterrichards1802]

Aberdeen style 4, 6, and 8 hooks in various colors are my go to hooks for bream and crappie. I have taken largemouth up to 7pounds, catfish to 4-5 pounds and carp to 17 pounds with those hooks useing 4 pound test line.

[@terrancerobinson20]

Great video, great tips Richard. How far up on the main line did you tie the uni knot to act as a bobber stop?

[@joshuaperez9896]

Man its crazy i was just wasting your old crappie fishing videos and i was like i hope he makes one soon and boom ! RGTFM strikes again boys!

[@joshuaperez9896]

Watching *

[@michaelyelverton783]

Love to watch the fishing machine I learn a lot

[@Ismayehere]

Caught 3 huge crappie today, First ever for me 🔥 Great day on the water

[@JampMan1982]

I need to get out there n fish with u Richard! Love your videos.

[@richburrows3726]

I like Cajun line as well. For the money it works great. I use it ice fishing outside and you can see your line great against the white snow/ice and detect the slightest bite. Thanks for the videos. Rgtfm

[@walterrichards1802]

You said catching those big slabs made you want to scream! Well, watching you RELEASE them made me want to scream!

[@randomidiot8142]

Mister Gene, how about a bait runner spinning reel for live bait fishing? Keep your main drag set so you're not distracted with that and a fish? Your way works, just a thought.

[@Pattypatmcpat]

I like the mr crappie cam shaft hooks or offset hooks

[@fishingwithhouse]

That's great info to have ! Thank you for sharing !

[@perfect10bootcamps]

You are awesome brother, love watching your videos.. you makin me wanna get out there now lol.🤣

[@Bamapride1000]

Those tube knots and the little rubber stops will hang up on the eyelets and have you fishing a totally different depth than you think you’re fishing and thinking the bite has shut off. If I’m slip corking then I’ve got a jig bouncing somewhere to hone me in on depth. This time of year around where I fish in the afternoon until around 5 the fish are 8-12 feet deep then they come up to 2-6 feet deep all night and as the day breaks again they’ll be down 8-12. When I flip my door up in the middle of the pier and fish the center of the 24x22 dock I’ll catch some around 2-4 feet deep in the middle of the day. Love catching them crappies, love em love em love em. Ain’t another fish that compares to crappies, not even close. Catfish run second but it’s not a close second

[@imyourhuckleberry3417]

I wanna go fishing with Richard Gene the fishing machine C'mon 🎉

[@shanebrown548]

just subscribed love all ur vids I learn so much from watching you its like having another grandpa

[@jimmysteele2947]

Another goodun 🐖🎣🇺🇸

[@denverc1962]

Gene, do you search for them on a fishfinder to start with, or just start searching at various depths?

[@matthewholliday7001]

How do you locate fish on these flats?? God bless you Mr. and Mrs. Gene!!

[@gregkennedy3736]

Anyone have any tips on how to do this rig but for heavy current waters coming off a spillway?? Last time I tried to do this my float would constantly get washed down the current fast and eventually be sucked under the water once the line got tight. Do I need more weight?? Is this rig appropriate for that kind of fishing?? Any spillway suggestions would be much appreciated. Richard, LOVE your wisdom and attention to detail. Thank you for all you do.

[@rhondadelaney9390]

Wow you are the best! Where would you recommend fishing in AL?

[@JackDavenport-e3j]

Them eagle claws is good hooks.

[@Uhkilleez]

Richard, I found your channel several months ago and I just want to tell you that I really appreciate your content. You remind me of crappie fishing with my dad. I like how detail oriented your content is, and your wholesome personality. Please keep it coming, sir!

[@royd7984]

I watch all your videos and have learned a lot about how to catch crappie. I used to fish for bass but now I only fish for crappie and other pan fish. I have a question. What is the purpose of attaching a leader line to your slip cork rig. Thanks and God bless! PS scream all you want man. Love it!!! fish

[@MySORRELL]

THANKS!

[@louisianag]

Richard!!!

[@Jfresh24822482]
