This Small Chatterbait Is A Crappie Catching Machine!

[@Ron-pu5tq]

Hi Richard, I’m 75 years old and not in the best of health. I used to love fishing when I was a boy. Although I no longer fish I so enjoy watching you fish. Keep on fishing and putting out your very informative and fun videos. Bless you and yours.

[@rohlfing63]

You know it's amazing that I can sit down after a long aggravating day, and everything turns around when a new RGTFM video pops up on my phone. Thanks Richard!

[@joookio2273]

Same here I even watch em on my lunch breaks if he has a new video up

[@guysoutside4004]

Amen brother! He does so much for mens mental health.

[@snell0710]

Yep he’s a gift from God

[@ShooterQ]

Micro chatterbait for UL fishing is something I've been dreaming of. This wasn't the place I expected to see it first, but I'm glad that it's so!

[@arengilbert7127]

Love your videos man I GO FISHIN WHEN I CAN. WHEN I CANT I WATCH RICHARD GENE! WOOOOOO

[@rougaroux2359]

Richard I am not sure if you have seen or heard of BFS Fishing but it’s something I’ve been doing a whole lot of mainly for Crappie. And I have a few of these baits coming in. And Richard you inviting those other folks in to fish with you and that other boat was great. I knew you were a great guy. But this just proved it.

[@martydunn298]

That's the Richard I know! Y'all CRAPPIE FISHING. COME RIGHT OVER HERE!! AND YOU WILL CATCH YOU SOME!! LIVE FOR THE THUMP MY FRIEND!!

[@BlacHaze78]

RG you’re a true fishing legend

[@rl2109]

Great action in this video, Richard! Thanks for taking us along! God bless ALL of us! WWG1WGA

[@shoalscatfishjonathan]

That was fun, Richard leads by example by sharing to other fishermen his hot spot. Way to go Richard 👍

[@randy1ization]

he has reached a pinnicle in his skills that he doesnt have to hoard spots... he knows he can track more fish down anytime, anywhere..

[@BassMaster.454]

He doesn't need a hot spot. He can catch a crappie in a water puddle lol.

[@ut000bs]

@ster.454I think he did that in a video once… He was showing off once and caught a walleye in one. 🙂

[@benjaminvargas1000]

He’s so good he’s not concerned. Pull up on any of his spots and you most likely won’t catch a single fish.

[@Cody_Buck]

God bless you and your family, Richard. You're such a kind-hearted wealth of wisdom.

[@qqbqeilltqagoffq7070]

Richard you are a wealth of knowledge and to be quite honest with you You are the reason for me moving to BAMA

[@ciwwebmaster]

Richard Gene, you and my father must have been brothers of a sort. You are exactly like he was with us. I had 3 brothers growing up. Our dad was an avid outdoorsman just as you are. He taught us how to survive and best of all have fun doing it.

[@pacodanzy3597]

Hey Richard I live in California and I have been watching you for a couple of years now and I use some of your tips whenever I go to Clearlake here in northern CA,,and man I slay'em,,love your videos,,,,thanks soooo much

[@panfishin-fool8057]

So glad you're shining the light on the micro chatterbait because I can't keep the dang crappie off of mines when I throw it lol. It puts a whoppin on em that's for sure 🎣. Try it with that shadz you'll thank me later sir I promise

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Those other folks fishing didn't know they was talking to a legend getting a schooling in how to catch crappie.. woooooooooo!!

[@JMason-Outdoors]

Over the last 2 weekends I've caught 1 crappie. I tried everything I knew to try. I told my wife "if Richard Gene was here, he woulda done filled the cooler". Lol. I wish I had your knowledge. Thanks for another great video.

[@jamesbower5995]

You are the Fishing Machine! Thank you for the instruction and the great content and thank you for sharing your faith, brother.

[@jimschmitz4821]

Richard, you're the kind of guy I like to fish with.

[@kenelliott846]

Thank You Richard for all the great info and super good video, you are the best fisherman ever,God's blessings always! 😇

[@scottcozart8950]

Love ya Richard !! You sir are my inspirational go tool. Ain't nothing like crappie fishing it's 2nd to none brother!!

[@robertpoitevint2952]

The channel is successful because of you and Elmo!

[@kennymarshall6389]

Richard you are the GOAT of fishing . Love your videos

[@budget_hobbies87]

Good to hear and give advise. Don't wanna give up the honey holes but great to share lol

[@TimSheets]

Spitting knowledge left, right, and center! Thank you!

[@dennistidwell7188]

I bet a big spot would eat that up as well. R.G. teaches a master class once again......

[@jameskline4596]

Oh man, just found my new favorite KZbinr

[@dgravette33]

Love how he tells them to come on out here and get them, other people would tell them I am not having any luck, or your fishing too close.

[@miker9043]

Richard Gene the fish slayin machine ! Thanks for showing us all the tips and tricks Richard !

[@imsowright90]

That was really nice to share your spot with those fisherman. God bless.

[@paulharwood1281]

Thank You Mr Gene for the Great lesson again on what baits your using and how to retrieve them.

[@tammyanderson9398]

Love watching you fish. God bless you and mamma Jean❤️

[@beardoth3we1rdo]

Got me itching to get a hook in the water so this morning after my interview i went to my local pond and caught two trout. Can't wait to try chatterbait for crappie

[@hillesla1]

richard - it is great to see you try new baits. i am hoping to see you spend some time this spring using your fly rod to catch bluegill and crappie. tight lines. - eric

[@billw7894]

I went to bass pro and said give me what Richard Gene is using. 😂 I did get the zman micro chatterbait

[@brianlykins6663]

Always a good day when Richard Gene video pops up. Makes a bad day, great, and makes a good day better. I've uused underspin for crappie, but never tried a chatterbait that i remember . I hope you know how blessed we are to get the benefit of your knowledge and experience. And you are truly blessed with the ability to fish like you do and then share with everyone else. God bless ya'll and stay safe out there on the water.

[@mycodclipz9754]

It helps my anxiety to watch his videos ,his videos helped me while I was going through one of the hardest times in my life and that was getting clean and getting my life back from that hell and im proud to say im 3 years back to fishing and enjoying my life Thanks Richard

[@MySORRELL]

THANKS!

[@rogerbentley6057]

I am a big fan, and i enjoy watching you. I am originally from Kentucky but i recently moved to Alabama been here about 4 months Roll Tide. I live very close to Smith lake and i would for you to do a show on Smith lake , God bless you and your family .

[@bryanthefishermanbaker4961]

Awesome video Richard thanks for all you do

[@stephenborushko8625]

Could you tell us what the soft plastic is that you were using. Also links to what you’re using is a great help.

[@felixandrade9387]

I was also waiting for the exact type of soft bait he was using, looked up chartreuse grubs and didn’t see anything close to what he showed here

[@dannyderriso4982]

I’ve been using those little boogers for years to catch crappie. It’s the only lure that will catch fish like live bait!

[@HoosierOutdoors]

I hope Zman has cranked out a bunch of these. I just ordered mine!

[@Rick850angler]

Thanks for everything your my favorite fisherman god bless👍🇺🇸🦅

[@ut000bs]

Getting into those "schoolie" bass can be so much fun. I've been there. Most were a pound or even less but there were 2-pounders around. I pulled a 6-1 largemouth out of a school of them once. One of my biggest. We would catch those bass until our arms ached. lol One of the first things I remember about you is you saying shellcracker and bluegill were your favorite eating fish and that made you and I brothers. There's other good fish but none beat them. Thank you again, Richard. I drop what I'm doing and go fishing every time you ask.

[@tgoptics5674]

Bravo 👏 once again I learn something new from the machine!! Thank you very much for helping feed families

[@romaineguillory8541]

enjoy your videos keep up good work l fish through your videos after losing a keg 4 years ago

[@michaelclinard4969]

I love these videos I’ve been so busy roofing lately. I haven’t been able to watch them nice to be able to finally good fishing man.

[@KennethTrivett-kr8rr]

I like to use the 1/8 and put a tiny fluke on in the baitfish color and dye the tail with the dye dip like a yellow tail

[@keithwalker5078]

another great tip rg. just was at a small lake where something was hitting the surface and tossed beetle spin with 4 inch curly tail minnow grub. Big crappie smacked it hard and so much fun. could see this chatterbox doing similar if not better results. thanks so much!

[@goodusernamesarerare]

The Zman baby ballerz are great trailers for those as well. I have been using those with BFS gear for a few years now.

[@jasonlong3981]

That small chatter bait will catch it’s fair share of nice bass while fishing crappie…best of both worlds in one bait!!!

[@jeffreylankford6240]

No thank you Gene you the best when it comes to fishing man I’ve learnt a lot watching your vedios

[@Thumpaholic]

Nice sharing information Mr. Mean-Gene-Machine

[@Thumpaholic]

20$/ head

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

Ok folks i WILL ABSOLUTELY be having me a couple of those baits. That mini chatterbait looks incredible!!! A fish catching machine it seems like

[@Mustang8846]

Thank you, Mr. Richard for sharing your tips and techniques on another great outing. That was very nice of you to let the other anglers know where the crappies were biting. God bless you and your family.

[@JamesLoftin-u6k]

Thanks Richard You The Man & The Legend

[@timnelson9756]

Thank you Richard my brother. Awesome unique videos !!

[@arronstanfield1212]

Weather looks nice there right now we have cold clouds and drizzle in Mesquite Tx I’ve only had one good day out on the water a few days ago but hopefully the sun comes back by The Weeknd

[@billsutorius2753]

Thanks Richard!!! May God bless....

[@DavidThompson-z1l]

Great sportsman making great videos!

[@phillamoore157]

Beautiful little honey-hole you got there. I had NO idea these little chatterbaits existed....which is one of my main complaints with both Tackle Warehouse and BPS. Their search engines are awful, or I would've bought some of these by now. I almost always start with small baits like this, especially on lakes I don't know, because it tells me where the bait fish are, which is always a starting point (at least for me). So, that was worth watching the video in and of itself. I'd buy one even smaller if I could. GREAT post, thank you for sharing.

[@chrisfultz1528]

Loved the video as always, your definitely blessed to have such a great place to fish. Your one of the best in my book. There definitely far and few between like you, this world needs me people like you. God bless you and Momma Jean 🎣🎣

[@THEDEUCE.GOESFISHING]

I will be picking some of these up I love new baits and Richard Gene videos. WOOOOO

[@curtisthompson7383]

Good video Richard , i have got to get me some chatter jigs .i love to watch you catch crappies. Was wondering if you could do a video on how to tie a uniknot on a slip bobber rig.keep up the good work.

[@Nextsession271]

Thank you so much, Gene. Blessings to your family.

[@jeffbeauchamp8285]

Richard, love you brother keep plugging.

[@JeremyCurle]

Thank you for keeping the videos coming. Excellent content as usual. You are the man Richard Gene the Fishing Machine 😎🎣

[@billgalante1181]

Richard, great video, keep them coming, thank you so much.

[@VinniesFishing1]

I have a couple 1/16 chatterbaits and they're awesome. The tiny little blade still vibrates a lot

[@celosgreen]

Another awesome video!! Thanks, Richard! Roll Tide!

[@sethjohnsonoutdoors4055]

I've never heard of chatterbaits before!!! Very interesting looking lures for sure!!! Thank you very kindly Richard for another EPIC video!

[@patrickmahoney3479]

I like using a Berkley Gulp minnow on these lures. It catches everything and is also a decent trout lure.

[@charleywalker2982]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keep your videos coming please.

[@Jason-sg6uj]

Always appreciate your videos Mr Gene. Learned a lot of great tips that I’m applying when taking my nephews fishing. I still have a lot to learn but enjoy each of your videos as each one makes me a better fisherman. Beers on me next time you’re at lake Murray!

[@BigBirdOutdoors]

Hi Richard! Long time watcher, first time commenter. Just wanted to say I’ve been using that same mini chatterbait for farm pond bass and white bass in the creeks during the spring run here in North Texas. Even caught a few the other day on it. I even stole your super glue trick to keep those elaztech soft platics on!

[@michaelleady9089]

I see you out there testing your new creek bait Richard gene 👍😎

[@MomandDad-k2l]

I enjoy all of the videos. I would like to see one about fishing curly tailed jigs.

[@raymonddesmond8869]

We thank you , thanks for so many great videos.

[@kennythurston57.]

Awesome video my friend. Thanks and take care.

[@dvd4802]

Ill have to try that little chatter bait i fish in a big gravel pit lake for crappie here in Indiana that same way

[@bill7949]

Enjoy it,thanks

[@jega157]

Gonna have to try chatterbaits this season. SMBass. Thank you for the blessing

[@laoboy1]

I love catching crappie when the river is flooded and the rough currents. They will hit big ol fluke baits and hit like bass.

[@glenncampbell3247]

I absolutely love your videos.

[@samjoiner7955]

I used to use those little Chatter Baits for crappie in small ponds and they work great but they’re so hard to find

[@keftonbrown1460]

I plan on using that same bait here shortly. Hope i have the luck you did

[@jamesbailey..catfishin]

Nice Richard good video

[@richardkunz9004]

You the MAN !!!

[@johnnypurkey7545]

I'll have to have me some of those. Good man Richard 👍

[@mr.c2763]

Excellent video. I definitely have to get me one especially because of the stained water.

[@sheepdog7005]

Good for you and momma sue.

[@georgezink8256]

Waitin on warmer weather

[@MarkWilliams-lx9vy]

As usual another great video. Thank you sir.

[@irasherman3308]

Love your video!!! I'm gonna order some Flash Back Mini Chatterbaits and try it for myself. 😊

[@skeegets2]

This is why i like crappie fishin more than bass fishin anymore. If a guy will acknowledge you, say hello, ask how youre doin and ask to share a spot, Im gonna accomodate them. Ill share when we all act like grown men and show some courtesy. Bass fishermen act like youre fishin their water and wont make much conversation if any before coming in on a bent pole patern.

[@ellisritz7654]

You're awesome, thanks for the tips

[@CJYork]

Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@petersiska9939]

Richard is the croppi Magnet

[@tal7399]

Hey Richard, great video as always! I cannot find these in 1/16oz to save my life. Even went so far as to email Z-Man today asking if they plan to produce more anytime soon. There’s tons of 1/8oz available but everwhere I’ve looked says “Out of Stock” for 1/16. If anyone has any leads……I’m listening.

[@egschreib4795]

Wonderful video! God Bless!
