[@maxwhittaker9576]

You are amazing Gene. I have never even thought about trying to catch bluegill and shellcracker in the winter before. Thanks for teaching me that is a possibility.

[@adamsmith8533]

It's not easy to always catch targeted species. But that's what separates the great fisherman from the average fisherman. Great job richard

[@markw.mullins2208]

Gene, As usual, you bring happiness into a sport that truly is second to none. The first fish I caught as a child was a little more than a foot long catfish. I had an old time Pfluger rod and reel that my grandpa gave me. He was a fisherman also. Its in a persons heritage, and once its there, its there for life. Always love the ending of your vids. and yes, I do go fishing when I can, because its good fer me.... but here lately uncle Arther and Aunt Rittis visit me every day, especially during the winter months. You also mentioned Yamaha outboards. Dad had a Yamaha 15 on his little aluminum boat. It would skeedaddle and leave the others wondering why >? I got a 14 foot TomBoy boat with a 35 Evenrude, made in '77 Hasn't give one tickle of trouble since I've had it. Keep up the good work pard, and will continue to pray for you, and you remember me in prayer also. My health is n one too good right now. and GO FISHIN' WHEN YE CAN, "Cause it's Gud Fer Ya !!! LOL

[@mattmusselman5055]

Im always in a good mood after watching Mr Richard catch fish..

[@Huntn_fish365]

Wouldn’t it be so fun to join him!!

[@CowboyCarCrushing]

The beauty of fishing is the fish doesn't have to bite the hook. It's pure

[@bernardmckenzie9639]

Richard I am truly amazed at how you catch any fish with ease. And i'm sure that your knowledge is from years of fishing and the love of doing it. It is true that a man who fishes will never starve because like you not being a big fish eater will in bad times know how to catch fish. Thank you for your knowledge. I used to think that night crawlers were a waste of time but now I have a great appreciation for how to used them through your videos. Thank you so much

[@shanebarrett5827]

You got mad skills Richard!! Keep em coming. I feel like I learn something with every new video you post.

[@conanthedestroyer7123]

What a beautiful day on the water.... you don't have to compete with the other fair-weather fishermen too!

[@kennethnugent8255]

THANK YOU!!! I've been telling people for years that bluegill taste better than ANY OTHER fish. oh yeah, love the hat. I live in Nauvoo in Walker county and have fished just about every river in the state. you have a new subscriber just for the bluegill comment......lol

[@michaelblack9112]

Richard Gene the fishing machine man I truly love what you do just watching you have taught me so much and made me such a better fisherman I'm a hundred percent disabled veteran and what I wouldn't give to fish with you

[@markwilliams-c6h]

Watching Richard Gene once again and again and again , can't get enough , if I can't go I just watch Richard because it's good fer me.

[@trueteam1313]

I totally agree with you that fishing is the highest level of high that I know of ... just can't wait to go out again but watching you have fun eases my fishing blues lol bit

[@randyreynolds8826]

My dad always told me fresh water fish were always better eating in the winter. That was his opinion too

[@tracymeadows3442]

[@LunkerswithLucas]

[@quags7744]

Well Gene, you told us what tools to use, you showed what you look for on the fish finder, what type of structure was around the only thing else you could have done is flash froze dem fish and mail us all one. What I’m trying to say is Awesome job Bro. Thanks a lot.

[@paulfisher1879]

Richard, Big fan of yours here! I wanted to ask if it would be possible to do catch, clean, then ask Miss Sue if she'd do some cooking and share with us some of her sides. I can imagine she is a fabulous cook with some unique dishes of her own! Please ask her if she would mind showing some of her greatness with us!! ...thx Miss Sue..we love ya!

[@Walt1119]

[@samuelwarden6285]

Well unfortunately I was still at work when I got the notification. Watched it as soon as I got home BECAUSE IT'S GOOD FOR ME 😆👍.

[@SimpleAtHomeQ]

My favorite 2 species of fish to catch year round. Thanks for the informative video on winter fishing. I don’t eat fish so just love to catch and release them or if I can give them to someone who does and may be in need. Now go “Catch Ya Some Fish”

[@fishingfitz3163]

I was just telling a buddy of mine that any fish threw the winter or threw the ice taste so much better and I’m a real big fish eater I love fish and I love catching them even more

[@nealschenk2438]

Absolutely! Blue gill in cold water. In Northeast Ohio we ice fish the ponds & eat fres blue gill same day.

[@lordmonkeyboy946]

My favorite channel along with Ty PigPatrol.....best two fishing channels on KZbin.

[@hardleftbank]

Great vid! Enjoy watching as always! Thank You.

[@xringkiller]

Ty’s not a great fisherman. He just has a great place to fish. There’s a difference.

[@sistaslab3159]

Awesome Tanks for letting me go fishing with you

[@thomascoey8530]

My kind of fishing! Thanks Richard.

[@davidcarroll7143]

You are The Man !!! You know how to catch fish from creeks to the ocean. Of all kinds. Jesus's dad was a carpenter. Maybe a connection

[@gillisjackson3279]

[@billwalker4836]

Just finished cooking brunch taters with onions garlic and green peppers some ham and folded some scrambled eggs into it and found me saying WOO! WOOOO! ELMOOO!!!

[@bluewidow1734]

I was thinking the same thing as the commenter few comments down you are a badass fishermen cause you can target all the different species of fish and catch the ones you want not just anyone can do that..

[@kenelliott846]

So true Bluegill are so good eating, Thank you Richard great video and info!!!!

[@jaredthrasher8059]

Size 6 rotating Eagle Claw is my favorite hook for panfish. It can handle bigger fish too - I've pulled in 10 lb drum on them.

[@shellcrackerlover5889]

Damn good video, Richard!! That is how I fish about 90% of the time.

[@jeromedwojak918]

Wonderful video Richard, enjoyed watching you catch some fine blue gill and shellcraker!

[@bennyhill3642]

Love it!!! I ve got to catch some crappie 😇 I will put him in my prayers😇🙏😇

[@bretthompson22]

You amaze me my Friend! You always catch what you go after! AMAZING!!😀😀

[@mikewest712]

Hey Richard, be sure to check the white plastic linkages on that yamaha. Cold weather will have them brittle if their old.

[@sirgoonmu77]

My favorite kind of fish watching my favorite fishing show. Mr. Richard it's a pleasure sir.

[@andrewmeekens1778]

Your friend from Philly PA wow keep fishing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@samuelbarnett476]

I been catching a bunch of shell cracker below watts bar dam. Some of the bogeys I have ever caught in my life in a drop shot rig. Have had many over 2 lb. loaded my freezer up. But I will eat Fish 3 or 4 times a week because of my heart problems. Love watching you videos. I watch every one I can see. Thanks for your pointers

[@samuelbarnett476]

Right now I’m fishing from the bank on the rocky shore below the dam. Where the rough water flows around the wing wall and the current pushes to the show. It’s where the heavy current meets the slack in a bout 12 to 15 foot of water

[@alaskamike3577]

Best Grits and Groceries fishing channel on the net. Richard, You Da Man for sure. I have learned a lot from you, Many thanks and Merry Christmas

[@markwilliams-c6h]

I love me some Richard Gene fishing videos.

[@Kwambo19]

Spectacular fishing Mr. Gene keep your videos coming I enjoy your knowledgeable fishing videos

[@E3fieldservices7144]

I have never tried eating bluegill I take my kids out to catch them but I have always used them as jugline bait for catfish I might have to try to cook them the are extremely easy to catch in my home lake you can stand on the dock with worms and they hit it as soon as it hits the water

[@sqhunter65]

man thats what i target all the time,but you answered some questions for me. great video keep them coming i can always learn some more.

[@tamarcoleman1916]

Prayers for Brian! Great video!

[@dtbone6]

I like R.G.F.M. so much...even when I'm not real interested in subject I still put him on...I just like to hear him talk .. so upbeat... the Dad I never had...

[@christophervalley7679]

Another awesome fishing trip Mr. Richard

[@steveh3705]

Another great video. Your videos are the best. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@angelasheppard7197]

Good analogy on how to hook fish with 2 lb test. Maybe that's why I'm losing fish and gear. Thanks for sharing. Your friend

[@shaqbrown5473]

Beautiful foggy morning

[@timparr8794]

I love to fish for big bream and trout fishing in Helen Ga. with an ultra light outfit. It just don't get any better than that !!

[@pauldrapac466]

Another great video, Richard! I learn something with every one of your videos. And I enjoy myself because you are enjoying yourself! Merry Christmas!

[@sammyvh11]

Your right about the taste of fish in coldwater. Get well Brian

[@loutippey9792]

Whew there Richard Gene - 29 degrees is getten on down there. Thank goodness you didn't have 20 + MPH winds. You use that 2 lbs test line all the time and I've never seen you break off. I guess you edit the breakoffs. L O L. I use 6 and 8 here in Texas and i break off. Beautiful bluegills and shell crackers. My favorite eating also. I scale em, gut em, head em and fry em hole. Great job. Stay warm.

[@trueteam1313]

If you break off then either your drag is set too high or your not using quality line

[@rogerdickinson9335]

I love eating Shellcracker. They’re all over the place in NC and SC.

[@trueteam1313]

@@rogerdickinson9335 me too very sweet meat anytime of year

[@isaacwiegman8430]

An old man in Alabama showed me a trick when I lived down there how to get your hook back when they swallow it without hurting the fish. Put a stick in the fishes mouth and twirl the fish clockwise so the line wraps around the stick. Just hold your line with your left hand and spin the fish with your stick with your right hand. Literally like it’s a ratchet or noisemaker. The hook will set in the stick and the fish will fall right off. I was amazed when he showed me but it works! No more cutting line and no swallowed hooks for the fish.

[@isaacwiegman8430]

Shout out to Mr. Billy Ray for teaching me

[@oranboone8596]

Thanks again, you always have a quality video that is informative and entertaining, God Bless!

[@Forevertrue]

God Bless Mr. Beasley. Thank You Richard Gene, Merry Christmas!

[@Thumpaholic]

Humble beginnings with that worm Mr. Machine

[@jackmikeson6062]

They were all swallowing my hook. I went with a 1/64 jig body and added a nightcrawler and seems to solve the problem. Rock on!

[@jeffperkins6514]

Great video! There's an oxbow of the Mississippi River close to me that has some huge bluegill that are fun to catch.

[@scottcozart8950]

Looks like I'm gonna have hit lake Norman. All my local lakes are chocolate milk. Man it just won't quit raining. 2 days of it over 2 inches. Then gonna rain Thursday through next week. Oh well. I will fish when I can. You know the rest. Lol. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS THEIR BUDDY. TELL ELMER TOO.

[@jayrobertson232]

It is about fishing! Thank you Sir!

[@steveng.c.8524]

[@michaelscottehle2152]

Blue gill! Best eating fish, Richard knows, I watch him throw crappie back other than when Momma Sue wants a few, he loaded that bucket w/gills. I would like to see u and Carl from Sling Blade have a conversation. WOO

[@thekovatis38]

Nice bucket full of gills. How about a catch and cook video?

[@kennethnugent8255]

scale them, cut the head off, gut them, roll them in corn meal, salt, and pepper, and drop them in 350 degree oil. done

[@Gutslinger]

There's a cove on a lake that me and dad bass and catfish a lot. A couple of times, I've caught a bluegill that was so big that I couldn't wrap my fingers and thumb around it's back and belly.

[@tommyalbrado7840]
