"We'll edit that out" I'm glad you didn't. That made me smile. 😁 3:23

[@anthonyminggia6794]

Me too! 😃

[@joeu7259]

It’s absolutely amazing to see you so happy to fish with your son, you are so positive and filled with energy, and this is why you are the best channel on KZbin. Love your videos man

[@evadalynemarbaniang2786]

I eat her to use her

[@Dss-bm3rz]

Evadalyne Marbaniang???

[@Dss-bm3rz]

He doesn't seem to be to interested in fishing lol, kinda like when my dad used to make me practice basketball even though I only wanted to play baseball. But it was quality family time looking back on it now.

[@hubertbent3437]

Love to see dad's take there kids fishing no matter how old they are.

[@Jakefishing45]

I love this channel, been watching for years. But I gotta say fellas, go check out Scott Martin and also his daughter thereelhilarysue. Scott is a pro fisherman, and his daughter Hilary does tournament’s as well. Great people, great fishing!!

[@johncriddle9860]

Nothing better than spending time with your loved ones and catching fish, especially during these crazy times. God bless you and family. Roll Tide

[@bubbyfresh1278]

Love your channel! Your genuine, sincere and funny as all get out. To me, you represent ALL the everyday "average Joes" that love fishing and can't afford big $$ set ups with LIVEscope or a 60k boat. Every other guy put'n a fishing channel together have set ups/equipment 95% of their viewers could never afford. You make the show special and different from the rest of the herd. Wooo!! Woooooo!!! Wooooooooooooo!!!! Again, love the show and God Bless.

[@robertjanko6709]

I really cant stand the channels with guys only fishing with rod and reel for 1K $ and a boat for at least 30K. A normal guy really has to work for his stuff, if you have a family it will even cost you more work that you have to put in.

[@davidwyatt3163]

Hopefully Kevin appreciates being able to fish with his Dad. Not everyone is able to have the same experience. Great Video!

[@lbhunter6341]

I'm 61 and still cherish "fishing with dad" several times a year

[@2aforever510]

I’m 50 and just spent a few hours with Pop wetting some line. Cherish it no matter if you’re catching them or not. Those times are closer to being gone each day.

[@Andygaming7_f6h]

My dads been gone since I was 18 im 35 now 😢 I feel you brother

[@henryharvey907]

Nothing like it! Fishing is a sport second to none! I love the quality time spent fishing with Kevin.

[@christianchild5723]

I wonder if your son knows how much of a LEGEND his father is to us here in the fishing community! God Bless the Gene family!

[@schoolboy405]

I second that motion

[@Cynic58]

@@schoolboy405 Wait for me guys... I'm all in with this!

[@damieng4470]

This comment made me look further into this channel. Dope videos maing 🤘🤘🤘

[@steptoeedwall2349]

I love your comment and completely agree! The only thing I wonder is....does his boy hate fishing after years of his old man pulling every fish out of the river while he's only getting the occasional fish?! LOL If that is the case, his son will appreciate it as time goes on.

[@blunttv1315]

Facts Facts Facts !!!!!!! A LEGEND🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

[@ShawnSwisherTGFit]

I love this man’s energy! And the love he has for the fish and his son is awesome!!!

[@freddiehoward4634]

This is the first time I’ve watched your channel and I loved it , I fish all the time my wife goes with me some times and my son lives about 2 hours away but he loves to fish with me when he comes in . Your all country . Be safe and God Bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@samuelwarden6285]

Glad to see you out there doing what you love with your son. I dont get to fish with my dad as much as I used to since I got married and had kids. I do love it when we get to go though. I've never used the whopper plopper but I have used the berkley choppo and I love that thing. 👊👍

[@Carolina910_boar]

This is exactly why I subscribed to this channel, this man uses everything to catch a good 🎣

[@stephenhair5501]

Always good to see a Father and Son fishing together. And I really like the Whopper Plopper lures. They do catch fish. Stay well and God Bless.

[@fishin-impossible2992]

That video put a smile on my face Kevin's a good sport

[@chrisbrown8748]

What a great video today, this was a real treat seeing you and your son fishing together.

[@martydunn298]

Loved it Richard! Anytime you get to fish with your son, no matter if you catch anything or not. It's a good day!!! LIVE FOR THE THUMP MY FRIEND!!

[@beanpole23]

Thanks for all you do. I enjoy all your fishing videos and your down home fishing advice. You have a warm way about you that draws people. I appreciate you.

[@alvinwine5665]

That's great enjoy the time with your son 😊

[@jerryharrell1231]

Enjoyed that one also Richard. Good to see that young man of yours.

[@marcuswilson8675]

Yes I need a true legend its a pleasure seeing u on here us country boys gotta stick together

[@jamesmaxwell1431]

Richard Gene you are my favorite fisherman. I can watch you fish for Hours.

[@thebeezfeez]

Makes me wish I had just one more chance to go fishing with my old man. Great video.

[@Aven579]

Thankyou for making this video because I got some whopper plopped a few days ago and didn’t know how to use it

[@ChuckCooper]

Thanks for taking us along with your son. Some of the best times of my life we’re fishing with my father. God bless you and your beautiful family. Oh and show us that triple fluke rig. I fish a double fluke rig that produces but I’d love to learn the triple.

[@philbrown6787]

I wish I would have done more fishing with my dad. Miss him!

[@anthonyfields509]

Great to see all the fathers with there sons .. fishing .and enjoying themselves.

[@merrittwentz6900]

Like father... like son! Deja vu....the last time I remember you fishing with a Whopper Popper... you did a follow up video on how to remove a treble hook from your hand! Thanks for another great video.

[@michaelmiller3378]

One of my favorite of yours. Like a parent and kid fishing together.

[@michaellane1661]

Thank you for the videos sir. I appreciate all the time and effort that you put into these videos. It’s much appreciated.🤘🏽

[@firemedic10353]

Memories for a lifetime! Keep em comin' man! and trust me I go fishin' when I can cuz I know its goooood fer ya!

[@rimon668]

[@jorgebeltran1341]

[@zeejcopyrecords7488]

I learned alot of stuff from his channel here.. Richard Gene is a fishing machine legend!! Awesome video Richard!! I'm about to go fishing now because it's goood for me!!

[@fishnmaster421]

Any TV producer that don’t put you on tv with your own show is missing out on riches

[@sistaslab3159]

As usual one of the best fishermen on the water

[@Coltbayless0607]

just imagine how awesome of a dad he would be. like if he was my dad i would be so thankful

[@dannyyork3742]

Gene u now i have habit of keeping my rod down either of the bank to keep in water further or in my boat and using a whooper did twist and twist in the water on a retrive so u gave me a good pionter today about keeping your rod up in the air, so ty sir!

[@mikeengland80]

When we would cast into the trees, my dad always said 'casting for owls' 😆

[@brandonlynch3722]

"It's about like flushing a commode on a bait." I love it Richard.

[@brandonkennimer1561]

Best one yet Richard! Loved watching you fishing with your boy. God bless you! We need more people like you in this world.

[@evan4664]

I wish my dad was a 1/10th the man you are. You have taught me lessons to teach my daughter and my.Gfs kids.

[@matthewplute3002]

Best topwater go pro camera work ive seen yet. All across you tube.

[@alyssa0411]

Thank you for the tips. I’ve never used a Whopper Plopper before. Looks like a fun little lure.

[@joshs3905]

Great video richard, I too have been using the whopper plopper and even long before there were any videos out. The slow steady reel is a great method, I can also highly recommend a different method and that is lifting the rod up to get that flutter then reel in the excess slack. I have lost a fish once or twice due to not being able to hookset in time, but find the consistency of hitting is far greater.

[@abaddon3735]

Caught me a 5 - 5.5 lb bass usin one of these things! They work great. To avoid the deal with the back hook catching fish in the chin, sizing up seems to help. I throw a 130, huge lure, but my hooks are almost always real easy to get out. I'm in Minnesota though so we got lots of Pike and Muskie, and they love these things too. Standard to throw them on a steel leader for me, not trying to lose a 20 dollar lure to a bite off!

[@jbay6946]

Never had a top water blowup. Hopefully I’ll get one soon. Thanks for the video Richard. I’ll keep fishin cuz it’s good for me!

[@dannykenward9544]

Richard Gene , another splash video !!!👍😉

[@Kurtdog63]

About 5 years ago, the lake I fish had an amazing year for topwater action. Fish were suspended even in very deep water and herding shad to the surface. Something I noticed on a lot of largemouth bass I hooked is that I was hooking them in the side of the face and even in the body. What it appeared to mean is that the fish were slamming into the shad with their body in an attempt to stun it, and then eat it.

[@itagbbnnews247]

Best thing about the "rona virus" is watching you catch fish....God bless!!

[@darrylsheppard4156]

Love your Channel. I have learn so much watching the channel. Keep doing what you're doing. I am saving up to get my own first boat. Meanwhile, i am going to take the youngins to fish off some docks, and riversides. Thanks to you, I know how to find 'em. Many blessings to you, your son's, Momma Lisa Sue, Elmo (lord know he needs it), and all of your family.

[@triciashackelford4956]

Thanks Mr. Gene. Ive been a fan for awhile now and i use some of your tricks to catch crappie at pickwick lake. Thanks for what you do and remember... Go fishing when you can cause its good fer ya! Doggone woo

[@HomesteadOnThePreserve]

When a man with an accent like Richard talks fishin, you best be listenin!

[@nathancottrill1363]

Had a Zara Spook get caught all up in my hand. Deep in the meat. I caught a feisty Stripped Bass (they are incredibly strong and have a mean attitude even in the net.) upon releasing said bass she shook and the hooks engaged my hand ant the weight of the fish drove them deep. Fish was released and won that battle. It was a painful endeavor and bled like crazy. I sat in the ER for almost 4 hours before I could be seen. I’ve used barbless hooks ever since. Those hooks that come with the wopper P are sharp sticky bastards. Loved the video, 2 years late. 💯

[@samparker4235]

Been watching a lot of this channel with my dad. Been on vacation for a week but we can’t wait to get back on the water

[@pabassanater]

Atta boy, Richard, take a young'un fish'in. Make a memory for a life time. Keep up the good work! GBU. 🎣🐸⚓🇺🇸

[@DeltaRogueFishing]

I LOVE this channel and content! Richard Gene is definitely a fishing machine! Thanks for the awesome content!

[@robsimpson3771]

Sir , mr Richard Gene the fishing machine, I thought you went off the air. I was subscribed awhile ago and watched your videos ALL the time. The covid crap arrived and all hell happened. Hope all is well sir and I had to subscribe again. I don’t know why I was kicked off but very glad to find you again!🇺🇸. Hitting the Muskie waters of Indiana Saturday to hang some!🎣 god bless 🙏

[@whitezin65]

Good to see you out fishin' with the fam. Gotta get Mama Sue in the boat again soon. I wanna hear her make your out-tro!

[@bowenchristiansen5783]

Richard this video is great to watch. I'm going camping tomorrow for a few days and I've been watching your catfish videos, but I wanted to use my whopper plopper I recently got, so this is a great video, really informative!

[@JaySunfish]

Thanks for the vid, I’m trying out versions of the whopper plopper

[@on1accord78]

Father and son time! I love it!

[@carolemcconnell4651]

Thank you ,God bless both of ya'll

[@blueterrace]

It's a blessing to go fishing with your son. We're going tomorrow. You've got a good boy there.

[@450jgh]

A bass will absolutely destroy a Whopper plopper. Great video. My son is 4 and still runs around and goes crazy at the end of your videos. Every time he hears the music he comes running into the living room. His attention span is a little shorter than your son's but I can still put him on a few bream.

[@lloydcarter2936]

Love to see ya fishing with your boy richard and I'm new to your channel and love it

[@corkyvanderhaven3391]

Practiced with my first one today Now, I’m glad to watch out for them hooks when I gets one

[@amieeandree1119]

I love watching this ❤️ you have a can do attitude

[@gaylonjohnson904]

Great video!!! Keep up the great content

[@tarantulady]

I just bought a weird-looking little whopper plopper, with a yellow tail and a colorful front. It’s stubby and shaped like a fancy goldfish. Would’ve bought a black or white lure if I watched this first, but hopefully it works on the local fish. Great video!

[@danluther1741]

Tryin to think who I enjoy watchin' more? Maybe Bill Dance! That's pretty good company there Mr. Gene!!

[@15thelongway]

I've got so many tips from watching 3 of your videos, I had to subscribe

[@williamking1538]

Listen to what this man says about waiting to set until after the splash. Setting on the splash cost me a huge pike the other day.

[@mlgtrump8503]

Thank you sir I am learning fish hard plastic I am currently using a River2Sea whopper plopper

[@mckeannaegle5407]

[@landonbrown169]

Earlier today I was fishing at a pond near my grandmas house and I found 2 of the whopper poppers in a tree, can’t wait to try them out

[@kellyhoffman5440]

[@bigbkeepitreelfishing]

I have gotten my biggest bass on that black whopper plopper. Early morning bite is killer. I had to put better hooks on the manufacturers because I missed a massive bass that bent the hooks. Went back that night same spot caught my PB about 7 to 8 lbs. Didn't have a scale but with I did. Got the bass on vacation in myrtle beach.
