If a university ever wanted to create a fishing class, I would 10,000% vouch for you to be the instructor. You're videos have been absolutely paramount to my development as a fisherman. You're, hands down, not just a master fisherman. You're also a fantastic teacher. Through your videos, I was able to put food on the table during some real hard times in my life. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

Richard seems to have more knowledge than most of the guide's I've ever used on new lakes. He reminds me a lot of my grandpa in that regard. Most of the time it seems most of them are just going where they have dropped stake beds. If the bite is not particularly on that day, then there have been many of times where we just jumped from marker to marker all day long until we find anything. I could do that with my own graphs and that's why I stopped paying for guides. Every time Richard fishes his local holes, I feel like he knows his water so well that he can pretty much predict how they are going to behave on any particular day and compensate accordingly. I would love to fish with him as a guide. It would be almost priceless.

I recently retired, have always wanted to fish so I googled "how to fish Crappie" and your videos came up. You taught me how to make a weedless jig, how to look for spots to fish from the bank and the best times for fishing. After modifying several jigs, I went out for the very first time and caught 15 nice sized crappies (haven't lost a jig yet thanks to your videos). Thank you so much for helping me understand what these fish like and how to catch them. I'm a little northwest from you in southern Illinois and your instructions hold true here as well. I'm absolutely hooked on fishing now, can't wait to go out and fish every moment I can.

@@ronyeahright9536 I probably could have worded my post better. I've never fished for any specific species of fish. I've been watching Richard's videos for about a month and a half now. I went fishing last evening at sunset because Richard mentioned crappie were feeding "mornings and evenings" in his last video. I spent yesterday afternoon making a few weed-less jigs, per his instructions, even down to the knots (the quarter inch loop) because I like the way my jig travels thru the water that way, more realistic. Caught 5 crappie, 2 large-mouth bass and 1 blue gill. I'm absolutely hooked on fishing now because of The Fishing Machine. Before this, I rarely caught anything and coming home after sitting around all day looking at a bobber with no fish stories to talk about, sucked.
