[@Matthew-qk1xi]

Brother Richard you are the perfect ambassador for the sport of fishing which we know is second to none! God bless you and your's and God bless us all!

[@mikebaker4962]

I like when Richard gean says let's put him the bucket... ✌

[@Shawnpimpin601]

Richard Gene don't need livescoop to catch fish🔥🔥🔥

[@allenthomas3422]

I love catching crappie on minnows

[@Barkley-q8l]

Thanks Richard.......I don't use minnows either, I use minners like you!!

[@miker9043]

Richard i will never tire of watching you catch fish ! Thanks for taking us with you Brother !

[@mikewest712]

Very good tips were given away in this video. He is not joking talking about crappie staying in a small area. Cast accurately and imagine a circle the size of a hula hoop will keep you on them .

[@jerryking3208]

Can’t thank you enough. God Bless.

[@Cody_Buck]

Richard, you are the perfect combination of philosopher and down to earth. You are THE man. Thanks for the great content.

[@donnylockett6572]

Good evening Richard great show!!

[@FiguringOutFishing]

Watching him fish brings me just as much joy as catching then myself.

[@martyhenry7032]

Now this man is a true fisherman that plants good seeds using a fishing pole. Fisher of men! (WOW) exciting humorous, and tons of fun watching your videos. God bless

[@eddiefralix3502]

Like the way you Break It On Down for us Richard. To the simplest things.

[@kadenjessie4286]

I love to go fish for every type of fish you have caught

[@hiltonturner9852]

The biggest advantage that a 'slip bobber' rig has over a 'fixed bobber' rig is the slip bobber rig is easier to accurately cast than the fixed bobber rig especially if you have the bobber depth set to fish deeper than say 3 to 4 feet. Bobber fishing with minnows for crappie allows you stand a distance away from the area where the fish may be gathered-up and not spook them away. A Bobber rig is my favorite way to fish for crappie. Great video Richard!

[@sharbaker2786]

Your hoodie looks very nice on you. That color blue is YOU❣️ Happy 🐟 🎣 Blessings 🙏 🐾

[@Steve-y5i]

I use a rubber band tied to line for my cork stop ! Slides were I want it to !

[@DoubleGravyBiscuit_911]

Richard you have really turned my whole fishing experience into something else, I only chase big Ole crappie now, on light tackle. Thank you sir

[@ronflo38]

Mr Richard you are the best I’ve seen so far.. until I can catch you lol the student. I’ve learned a lot from your videos I thought I had crappie fishing down pack… I’m 55 years old and I’ve learned even more thank you sir very much God bless you and yours .. love ya and keep teaching and catching thanks

[@CrappieStudent]

I love your videos. You make it look so easy. Maybe one day I will be able to catch them like you do.

[@keithwoods3090]

My man, Mr Gene is the best, awesome video I've watched him do this every year and I still enjoy it, can't beat the old minner and slip cork, keepum coming!

[@GenXMafia]

This method of fishing makes perfect sense and it seems to work for a lot of folks but I have never had any luck with it.

[@itllkeal]

Thanks Richard. That's one of the best OLD SCHOOL tip that I've seen all year. I've been buying bobber stops and breaking off then going through the trouble of threading one back on. Never once did I think of a uni knot. God Bless

[@dirtybuzzard5977]

Another awesome video Sir and a good mess of Crappie there gonna be some good eats tonight. Stay safe and Keep’em coming.👍👍👍👍WOO

[@steveburns-ot7kq]

Richard love your videos but I wish you would explain where you are fishing mainly because I'm trying to decide where to buy a campsite in to visit so I want to make the right move to have the perfect fishing opportunity thnx for all you do on this channel god bless

[@louiesalas7928]

my favorite fishing man

[@MiguelRodriguez-zi4sl]

Always helpful and encouraging to see you out there enjoying God's gifts. Looking forward to using the great stuff you're sharing. Thanks again and God Bless!!

[@dominicross6182]

Another Great Day Fishing Keep Catching em 👍

[@kenelliott846]

Thank You Richard great info and video, you are the best ever brother! 😇

[@willscottrell6919]

Slip bobbers are a blast. I use them for grouper in the gulf of Mexico. Just with 80lb test, 1.5 oz of lead a big hook and a 6" float. It allows you to suspend a large pinfish a couple feet over the bottom be it rock or seafans. Just let it drift back with the tide, works awesome.

[@yakkemupfishing6778]

Richard Gene you the truth!! I’ve learned a lot from you keep on fishin!!

[@lddfsm]

Another goodun. My two favorite words. Love it Richard. Keep up the entertainment.

[@perrysanders3614]

Hey brother. You ever use a lighter and heat up the bend in your hook so it will straighten out easier.

[@russellstewart5414]

Stop giving away your secrets! I always do that, I’ll just take a little temper out of the hook with a propane torch on the bend area only , not cherry red but reddish and it makes that Aberdeen hook really soft and it can straighten out several times before it finally breaks. Some people worry about losing big fish but a 21 in smallmouth bass and several channel cats and dozens of big crappies on the same hook is good enough for me

[@leiurus.]

Caught my first crappie of the year yesterday with crappie googan white with blue glitter on a cloudy but it rained in the morning he was hungry

[@chichirodrigues171]

Nothing like watching that cork drop. Woo woo. That winter bite is more rewarding. Rabbit season is over here. Time to git it. Woo

[@rider660r]

I've only used minners once or twice in my life,a buddy will buy the things every time he/we go. I've out fished him I think every time using jigs tipped with a 1/4-1/2" piece of NC or some small 1- 1.5- sometimes 2" crank/jerk baits. Saved a lot of $ not wasting it on minners. Another month and I'll be back out catching up here in the ol Commiewealth of PA.

[@jonahlawrence6204]

Great video Richard thanks again Richard you are a really great fisherman GOD BLESS you and your family Richard

[@elpinguino11]

[@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine]

Thank you so much elpinguino11 for your support! God bless

[@Cooper260]

God bless you and your family Richard keep on keeping on brother ❤

[@scottmcley5111]

I like that technique with the weak spot being the hook in case you get hung up. Excellent. 👍 Keep ya from retying so much if your finding them in the trees

[@Pops-my9wq]

Hi Richard Do the fish head north up the river in the spring to spawn in the shallows?😊

[@jeffreylankford6240]

We appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us I’ve learnt more watching and listening your vedios than I’ve ever learnt from anyone else I know thanks man

[@donireneyoung1272]

Richard Gene...you are the man! Great video...blessings.

[@johnwilliams3655]

They! Love all the videos you do sir. Informative and entertaining. I could listen to Richard Gene all day long.

[@brianlykins6663]

Thanks, Richard, for another great video. You're right, it's getting about time for Crappie to start bedding, water Temps just gotta come up a little more. I love using live minnows, they'll work when hardly nothing else will. Richard, I appreciate all you do sharing your knowledge and experience with us. God bless ya'll and ya'll stay safe out there on the water. Ya'll enjoy your fresh fish !!!

[@SlayAtHomeDad311]

Richard, did you ever believe you would become a professional fisherman like you are today? Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

[@timothyinfinger1650]

You have a good clean show. Thank you for explaining so much .

[@angelopowell4065]

Love your videos bro!

[@robertpoitevint2952]

You are the man! Like your slip shot set up. Never have used a set up like it.

[@kennettmanion9600]

I use Porcupine bobbers on a slip bobber setup, the smallest weight I can find, and a number 4 gold hook.

[@crystaltrickle941]

[@robertpiotrowski7850]

[@joelhenderson5404]

Moma Sue is going to be proud of you Gene!

[@rickystutts6028]

GOD BLESS AND THANK YOU .

[@dalethompson2788]

Awesome video,,,thank you for what you do

[@jonn6427]

That's a method of fishing that I want to do more of. Problem is sometimes minnows aren't available before I get to the lake.

[@HoustonFishingFinatic]

Love ur tips and techniques sir! Catch and cook!!??

[@davidjewell9197]

Great video

[@christopherwatson283]

The Power of Sli😅p Corks is 1. Cast Abilities for Deep Fishing. Short Rig hanging that can be accurately Casted and Dropped Deep. 2 Adjustability. The Trick is Fishing 25 Ft. With an easy Cast. Up Top you can Adjust a Standard Cork to about 3 ft. and still cast. Slips are for Deep Fish that Require a Long Accurate Cast at Specific Spot..

[@danmidkiff5416]

I'm going to pick your brain a minute. I'm looking for education. I use the rubber stops that come on a wire. Put the line through the wire, and pull the stop onto the line. Easy enough. But, after I set a depth with the rubber stopper and cast the line, the stop moves further up the line as it comes through the eyelets. Any suggestions? Are the string knot stoppers better? Thank you in advance.

[@Rszi83]

@@danmidkiff5416 I encounter this same issue, I use 2 stoppers at a time and it seems to work better for me

[@christopherwatson283]

I just use a rubber band. Like a Pony Tail Tie. Cut it. Tie one overhand knot very tightly. Spit on it. Tie another overhand on top tightly. Clip off the ends tightly. To adjust. Spit on it and slide slowly. It will real up into an open face reel. Then you can cast. I've never used anything else.

[@christopherwatson283]

My Grandfather taught me to Slip Cork in the early seventies. I'm pre bobber stop. I'm rubber band stop.

[@paulharwood1281]

Great video and info Mr. Richard as normal :)

[@shyanny1]

looks awesome

[@dreichert1438]

Love to use that but up in VA right now if you drop a minnow in 40 something degree water it just quits moving and dies quickly. All jigs for now

[@GenXMafia]

I usually have that problem in the warm water in the summer. The minnows he’s using are called creek chubs. They prefer colder water. When you buy them, they are in cold water at the bait shops. But if I try to use them in the summer once the water starts getting into the 80’s they die almost as soon as they hit the water. I don’t fish year round like this guy does and other people do. I usually fish early fall, early spring then once Memorial Day weekend hits and it starts getting real hot out I hang it up until the fall. Can’t stand being out there in real hot or real cold weather on a lake and not catch anything. I don’t know how they do it. 😞

[@dadeo8957]

Woo!
