The Last Video Of 2017! Multi-Species Fishing

[@dennishodson990]

Gene, I want you to know I have been fishing for 59 years for every type freshwater fish I chose to fish for. Spent TONS of $ and watched every fishing show since they began on TV, even ole Bill Dance on channel 5. But your UTube videos are the most enjoyable of all I have watched. I guess it brings me back all the memories of simple fishing that I enjoyed growing up in this sport. Best success to you bud - Fishin' IS GOOD FER YA!!!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much Dennis! That means so much to me that you would say that! Thank you brother!

[@mgarrett50]

Richard is a REAL fisherman, not just some guy making videos to put on KZbin. You can tell when a man has been fishing his whole life and enjoys it. So glad I found your channel. If you are ever near Eufaula, let us know.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much mgarrett50! And will do!

[@dodgeman2833]

Man!! Every time I watch you fish, you make me wish I was right there with you!! You are the #1. Best in the world fishing machine!!!! :-)

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much Dodgeman! that means a lot brother!!

[@adamparsons1725]

Minner, minner...sauger dinner! Sir, absolutely NO reason to apologize for chit! I am just glad you do these vids! Brings back the good fer ya memories, especially! I just cant get out as much as I used to. Damn MS makes it difficult. So watch your vids...they good fer me just enough to fight the disappointments on not doing it myself.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much Adam!

[@toddbrownell844]

Thanks for finding your video card Richard. I have had the flu for the last few days, and watching this video helped me get through some major cabin fever. Also, tell your two sons and wife happy new year for me as I saw them in your last video. Wanted to tell you that I have purchased a nice med light rod and a 1000 series shimano reel to get into some crappie. We have a ton of ice right now in the richmond, va area, but have a good warm up coming this week. I was bass fishing in a pond that I like before Christmas using suspended jerk baits, and actuually had a crappie latch on and surface but got off. So, I know crappie are in there. Will let you know what happens with my crappie venture. Thanks for your videos.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you for watching Todd! Get well soon brother and let me know how your venture goes!

[@flysubcompact]

Richard, great video. My dad told me a long time ago that you can learn more about fishing from a guy in a small aluminum boat or an old fellow sitting on a bucket on a bank than you can from a fellow jetting around in a new, decked out bass rocket. One reason I subbed to your channel.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you flysubcompact! Your're Dad is a wise man!

[@bobestes2975]

Richard yours is becoming my favorite fishing show. I appreciate the effort you put into your shows and your attitude of presenting your insights and tips. I'm older than you by some years and I'm sure I won't be able to change but a little info about our spotted bass. The scientists have actually determined that these fish in our state are their own species and are now identified as alabama bass. I'll probably always call them spots but it is very interesting I think. Hope to see you on the water. Keep it up. We all love it.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much Bob!

[@richardwarmack287]

Glad you found this footage. As with every video, you do not leave us as viewers with very many unanswered questions. Thanks for all you do.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you for watching Richard!

[@db_nomad]

I refer everyone I talk to about fishing to your KZbin channel. The experiences and information you share is invaluable. Thanks for being a family friendly fishing resource; my kids especially enjoy watching- and dancing to the outro music :)

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much David! I owe much of my success to people like you spreading the word of my channel. Thank you my friend and I'm glad your kids enjoy my channel!

[@Beav8172]

Glad you found the card, Richard! Just wanted to thank you.... us "common folk" REALLY appreciate your time and effort you take to explain all your techniques. I've watched every single video (the crappie ones multiple times,) and always pic up little tips each and every time. Praying you have much continued success in 2018! Tell momma, the kids, and Elmo Happy New Year.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Bryan! Will do and God bless brother!

[@balamont1150]

I've been watching your videos ever since you started your channel and I just appreciate the simplicity you put in your content. I think that's what makes your videos so fun to watch- not to mention that you can just flat out catch fish!!

[@12466ninja]

Hey Mr. Gene! I just wanted to let you know that me and my Dad love your videos. We’ve done our fair share of fishing but we learn a lot from you and spend a lot of evenings just watching your videos. We live on the Tennessee river just South of Knoxville about 5 miles from Fort Loudon Dam. We would love to take you fishing on our portion of the Tennessee river if you ever find that you’ve got the time. You should do a couple of episodes on trolling for crappie or walleye or throwing shad for big stripers! Anyways, we love your videos and tell Elmo to get his butt out there with you!

[@twinstone7509]

Happy for you that you found your card, even happier to have watched it :) good eating right there!!!

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Twinstone!

[@timmilligan4152]

Thoroughly enjoyed your vids, found you while looking for vid's on crappie and sauger fishing. Just watched several of your crappie fishing vid's also on shooting docs and fishing the river. You have a new fan and a new subscriber - God bless!

[@kodyspringer]

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Jeffrey!

[@ut000bs]

I did a LOT of fishing in Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama and I've literally caught every kind of fish there is to catch there except for one you caught in this video. I have never in my life caught a yellow perch. Crazy, I know. :) Great video as usual. I really like your editing. Heck, I'd call it professional. Thanks so much!

[@billantrim2251]

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you Adrian! will do!

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Also a spotted Bass has the same size mouth as a smallmouth Bass, or if you close their mouth and look from the side of it you’ll see that the jaw line don’t go past their eye, like a largemouth does. That’s the way I’ve always told the difference in them, you know?

[@stevenelson4509]

Love the different types of fishing, thank you

[@johnathonjohnson9526]

Your old Mitchell reels remind me of my dad. I grew up by his side fishing the Pee Dee River in N.C. He really loved Mitchell spinning reels. I’m 50 now and he’s been gone bout 7 yrs. I’m glad I was raised in an old Jon boat .

[@th3_crappi3_kill3r]

Man i love sauger, saugeye, and walleye. Is there a spot to bank fish for sauger at that dam?

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Yes their sure is. In the video called bass fishing at the guntersville dam, that area is good for bank sauger fishing.

[@th3_crappi3_kill3r]

If i ever get the heart to go back to TN i will try it out, thanks Richard!

[@denhaire]

Elmo-tell Richard it is good to practice on those green carp so when he really goes fishing for crappie he will be warmed up.

Thank you John! will do!

[@rodneyyarbrough6524]

That’s some nice Jacks! I’ll bet it’s cold enough now big guy. Had some great days over there years ago. Tell me... over the years, do those jacks seem to disappear from time to time? I’ve got places that would produce consistently for severe years and then dry up for a while. What’s your opinion? Thanks for the video.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

in the 90's i remember catching sauger from the bridges, in fact just about every bridge on guntersville would hold good numbers of fish from thanksgiving all the through Christmas. Unfortunatly that don't happen anymore for some reason. The sauger fishing at Guntersville dam use to be a lot better, but i think it's slowly coming back. Thank you for watching Rodney!

[@johnburgess6572]

Thanks Gene !

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you for watching John!

[@westtexasdave2140]

I went to Cumberland today and used shad instead of lures just because I’ve been enjoying your videos.

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Yes it is! Mitchel 308. I will add it to the to do list! Thank you for watching my friend!
