THAT IS NOT A BASS!!! Surprise Catch While Fishing Googan Squad Jig!

[@TheGhostnshell]

I've been a fan of yours for years sir. I didn't have anyone to teach me to fish when I was young. I picked up the sport of fishing to keep myself out of the trouble I was getting into. Your videos have helped me become a pretty good angler and changed my life. I don't know where I'd be without fishing. Thank you so much for all that you do. All of the videos, old timey secrets, being a good man and having God in your heart. God bless you and your family.

[@adamsmith8533]

I've had times in my life when I've definitely strayed away from the right path. But I've always fished . It has always kept me grounded and at peace and close to the almighty. Just yesterday I got on an awesome top water bass bite. The excitement has not faded one bit. God bless

[@mybestlifeoutdoors7077]

Thats awesome to hear. My parents were divorced when I was very young. Rarely got to see my dad but when I did we fished almost every chance we could. Going fishing when I was back home kept me out of so much trouble when I was younger

[@garlingoins2988]

I've fished a great deal of years,and never been in the boat that I didn't learn something I haven't remember all of it but have learned something that I have used through the years. What I like about the most About your videos we can be a little bit goofy, that kinda mixes it up.

[@markhamblin8195]

As Richard Gene would say.....Woooo Woooo.....woooooo

[@guymoto7960]

Praise Jesus Richard! You are a light on this earth...I'm goin fishin cause its good fer me...again! Love your videos, when my back goes out of whack, i go fishing with you on the youtube...peace from me n ri-ri.

[@heinohammann6374]

This is by far my favorite channel to watch, what I love about you is your humbleness. The way you share your knowledge is second to none. I am a South African and will surely take what I have learned from you back home and use it there, if I have one wish then that would be to fish with you before I go back home.God bless you Richard, take care and be safe.

Easily the best fishing show on KZbin. Second to none. Thanks again, Richard, for another awesome fishing adventure and lesson.

[@scottstewart3409]

Richard thank you for your entertainment and enthusiasm with fishing. Cable TV has nothing to offer any more so I rely on you and Jimmy Houston for my entertainment.

[@benjiereeves4919]

Thank you for doin what you do rgtfm!!! Im 44, been fishing my whole life and i still learn things from each and every one of your videos!! Thank you!

[@thomasdalton2042]

I'll tell you Richard you made my day brother. Ive got a lot going on and Ive down mentally but this brought me up and made me smile

[@edberger9812]

Richard Gene you are a fisherman second to none. Always enjoy your videos. Never, never get tired of them. Thank you.

[@kennyw6932]

I'm a old Northern geezer, Richard, who enjoy pursuing bluegills and crappies. A surprise fish for me would be a healthy Northern Pike. Your catfish encounters while seeking bass takes me back 50-60 years and my experiences with bluegill tackle and a pike latches onto the bate, sometimes including the bluegill that was hooked. Occasionally I used a short steel leader but most of the time not and without steel or 30+ pound leader, pike are going to bite through the line. It's such a pleasure to watch you taking your time to land the cats then gently release them back to the depths. It brought back old memories for me of times past. Thanks for sharing and God Bless you always.

[@danielwalston9666]

Anybody that puts a thumbs down on any of Mr. Genes videos well there’s something wrong with them!!!! Lol!!

It's the "wonder" of it all that makes ya get so excited. When you have the "wonder" it's like you're a kid at heart and you'll always love the sport second to none.

When your channel gets found by the fellows who "think" they know how to fish.. your gonna blow up. Best freshwater information I've found by far.

I think there's only one person who loves the sport of fishing as much as me and that's the machine

[@markstaten9526]

[@jimrobinson4832]

My go to fishing channel. You are the most informative person that I have ever watched, not to mention the wonderful humor. Tight lines brother. I love your videos.

[@ICONBADGTA]

Watching you has re-invigorated me in fishing again.. I was a catfish man for years, pulled a giant or two out of Norris Lake in TN.... Nothing like what you catch, but way big enough for me!! You gave me the "WANT" to try a baitcaster and go back to bassin, so i got me a 8.5:1 Shimano Curado DC where i am a beginner, i matched it with a Cadence 6.6 CR6B Medium fast rod off of your recommendations for the Cadence rod brand.. (MAN WAS YOU RIGHT ON THE MONEY)!!!! Nothing like a good Cadence CR6B!!! Within the first 2 casts with the Curado DC, i had to set it from #2 Braid setting to max wide open on #1 practically no brake Curado DC setting!! I just picked up on it that quick thanks to you and learning your techniques!!! Been bombing those casts since!! Heck, i am so in love with bait casters i went today and got me a brand new LEWS Tournament MP pro 8.3:1 mated to a Vengence Abu 7.3 rod. I wanted another 6.6" rod but they was out.... I plan on downsizing the rod with another Cadence 6.6, to me the Medium fast is a much better feeling combo that is (MORE THAN CAPABLE) of a 15lb+ Large Mouth!! I am running 30LB Power Pro braid based off your recommendations on my Curado DC and 50lb Spider Braid on the new Lews Tournament MP Pro... Got a deal on the Spider 50lb braid, 300yd was same price as the Power Pro 150yd, couldn't pass up double for actually less at Wally World!! I swear you strike me as a born and raised KY/TN guy, your accent sounds from the hills just like me..... Heavy and fun... Just a good ol boy lol... Thank you Mr Richard Gene, for re-invigorating my love of the sport of fishing, you are absolutely right with your products and recommendations, And you are (ABSOLUTELY RIGHT) there is no other sport better that (ANY) man/woman can succeed or fail in depending on how much or how bad they want it than the sport of fishing!!! I LOVE IT!! Adam Gibbons Bloody Harlan Co USA

[@jacobrowlett7296]

I gotta say, I really enjoy watching your fishing videos, you’re real goofy and have joy when you’re fishing, you taught me the easiest way to fish for gar and some of the best covering to locate crappie and what to use for them and I’m teaching my son the same as well, the knowledge I’ve gained from you has really helped me to be a better fisherman, if you’re ever around Kaw Lake in Oklahoma again I’d love to fish with you sir, thank you.

My dad always had a couple of jars of Uncle Josh Parkin his tackle box. He fished the phosphate pits near home along with Okeechobee, Kissimmee chain and river. I wish I’d been able to keep his tackle boxes and rods... but, I was active duty and overseas when he passed. I was 27 and he was about 52 so I’ve been without my fishing dad since 1976... sure missed him when I was teaching my boys to fish. Great video... I’ve been given a kitchen pass so hopefully can get out there soon.

Great job proving how you can finesse those big catfish on lite line. I watched my Grandfather land a huge flathead on a spinner bait when we were bass fishing. He probably had 10 pound line on Wal-Mart rod. He did just like you and played a 25 pound catfish in. I totally agree with you, fishing is a great sport. God Bless You and thank you for posting!!
