THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!
Richard, I enjoy watching your videos and others like yours. Ive fished all my life, but now I've become disabled and unable to go fishing. Watching your videos helps me feel like I'm "on the water". Thank you.
Hey Patrick if you are around the Huntsville area and are able I'd be more than happy to take you out fishn. I fish Guntersville and Scottsboro pretty heavily and I fish out of my boat at least 4-6 times a week. Mr.Gene is a legend around these parts not to mention he is the CRAPPIE KING !!!! I'm 45 yrs old and been fishn and huntin my entire life and Mr.Gene is so knowledgeable pertaining to fish,especially Crappie and any type of sun fish.
You should go Patrick...and make a video...love to see it
I'm disabled as well. Would love to see disabled people fishing. (Idea for a channel.)
Patrick, I get my dad out two or three times a week. He's 84. I have to load him in the boat and I've put handrails up for him to get around the boat. I'm lucky to have been able to retire early and take care of him. Fishing and mowing is about all he can do now. Or put new washers in a faucet, but I get all the tools for him. Take Richard up on this if you can. It'll be good for you and him. I see a lot of old folks that use to fish everyday like my dad. They go down to the boat ramp and see how their buddies are doing. They've sold their gear. I wish they had people that could take them out. Oh, My dad this year is starting to let me run the trolling motor. We've got two chairs up front on a deck boat.
I think a lot of the old daily fishermen couldn't stand to not be in control of the boat. I knew my dad would be pissed at me all the time when I'd run the trolling motor. If he'd fished in the back of the boat like me with him for years, he'd understand.
Right off!!! Last time I had my Boy with me, was windy like that. "Son, where is your float?". "I lost it Dad. It hard to see with the waves.". So of coarse I tell him to just real it on in. He starts GRUNTING and HUFFING lol. He is fighting something that had come under the boat and about 20 yards the other side,towards deep water. After about 10 minutes and a breathing treatment (lol) he brought up a Drum about 8 pounds! That was GOOD FER ME! Havent laughed that hard in LOOONG time
Elmer , It's just plain an simple !! When it comes to fishing , some folks has got it , and some folks don't !! It's the same as well for finding fish too , before you can ever think about even catching them !!! And you Elmer , just have a natural knack for doing what it takes !! My hats off to you my friend !!! Thanks so much , for the great advice and making these wonderful Videos !!!
Man, I love your videos! It's pretty rare that you can get good tips, instruction and a great laugh as well. Thanks, Richard!
POSSIBLY THE VERY BEST FISHING CHANNEL ON TH-cam!
Pure octane and adrenaline going on at the end, gotta love Your passion for this channel Richard! Stellar video full of great tips which are always much appreciated! Keep on fishing! Thanks!
Have not had a reply about the fishing trip I proposed. It's a great idea and no one would enjoy it more than me ha . I am old ( 75 ) and need to go fishing, especially with the fishing machine. Thanks and have a wonderful day.
Mr.Kinney my name is Chris, I live for huntin,fishn and family and I also really enjoy watching Mr.Gene. He is the ONLY guy on TH-cam that actually takes the time to show you and explain what hes using that day. Hes always detailed about jig size, jig color, rod and reel info, what size of line,water depth and temperature. I also wanted to let you know that if you ever wanna go out in the boat with me your more than welcome. I fish Guntersville and Scottsboro 4-6 times a week religiously. Lol. Have a good day buddy.
Love you Richard! Your my friend and I like spending time with you fishing
God bless you
Joseph
Hey Richard... thanks for explainin' your techniques. I'm on a mission.... to be just HALF as successful catchin' those crappie as you are! Enjoy each and every video you produce. Thanks for your effort!!!!
Thanks Richard, your videos have really helped

Great video! Th' man done got so excited, he went home, tried washin' the ole truck, got excited agin', a'thinkin' 'bout catchin' all them thar' Crappie, an' ended up sprayin' hisself with th' ole waterhose! That good Ol' Richard Gene the Fishin' Machine shore is a wild'un, that's folks!🎣🎣🎣😵🤓💛
Hey Richard you truly are the original fishing machine. I'm Joe the minner drowning machine , I fish wautaga lake upper East Tenn a deep cold mountain lake known for smallmouth walleye and a few crappy would love for you to come up and be my guest and go after what's bite in because it's good for us
Thanks for the information. The more informative the better for me! Thanks for taking your time to help us catch more fish.
“Richard Gene the Fishing Machine”...Good day to you sir! Video after video of great info and techniques. Much appreciated! Those where some nice slabs, to me they where. 🤓 Thanks again for sharing. Nice Mustang 👍🏽
THANK YOU, Richard for taking us Fishin’ with you!
Let me first say that this is another interesting, informative, and entertaining video, by none other than RGTFM. The ending was hilarious. When RGTFM yelled and sprayed water on himself, I laughed out loud. I'm not joking! The yell got me. RGTFM is my favorite TH-cam channel. Would love to fish with RGTFM for bass and crappie using live shiners. I could be in northern AL in about 4 hours.
Caught some good ones Gene..caught 16 crappie at Lake Martin last weekend use a jig and bobber...you’re the one I learned that from and it paid off last trip..keep the tips and vids coming Gene!
Richard you are a wealth of knowledge and always good for a laugh. Keep makin them videos.
Hey there Elmo!! Another great video, and lesson. As soon as the water temps get up a bit here In Ohio, you can bet I’m putting this lesson to work for me on some of the local lakes. Really enjoy the respect with which you treat the fish you catch, only take what you’re going to eat, and put the rest back for another day!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos Sir.
Great video! As always! Learned something Brother. Went this morning and didn't catch anything but had a great time! Used alot of what I have been seeing you do. Water temp was 42. I'll gettum next time! Thanks for all you do!
Fishing Machine keep spreading the crappie knowledge. I can't get enough. Your awesome!
These videos are killin me! I've got to go catcha crappie soon.
Real good quality fish and great tips! Thanks RGTFM
Thanks for taking us with you agian. Love watching you catch 'em. Steve
Thanks for taking time and explaining how Crappie can be found. You have made me a better Crappie fisherman! I've been catching a lot of 1-1/2 lb and 2 lb crappie. Fun, fun, fun!!!
Richard Gene I’ve watched a lot of your videos and I think that was the best ending I have ever seen. Man I love it. Great video
You’ve helped me a great deal with my fishing game thank you for the knowledge. Even tho I hate the commercials I’m letting them run to return the favor
I love watching you catch those Beautiful crappy. Thank you for educating us on “ How to catch them “. May God Bless & keep you safe “ !!!
I appreciate you sir. Don’t ever, ever change!
Another great day on G lake 🎣 it’s nothing like catching them on light tackle 🐟 you can really feel them fight
Richard I like your videos I have watched all all of them but I was wondering how to get a hold of some of Mr.Perrys jigs..
RG, my sister lives on 75 between Painter and Albertville, and I hope to be visiting her in July.
I certainly would love to meet you, but I know that is most likely not possible but I'm gonna buy my
docs to fish the Tennessee......"Cause It's Good Fer Me"!!!
Love your videos, they have helped my Crappie fishing immensly here in Upstate South Carolina.
I grew up in DeKalb county and have many good memories of N/E Alabama.
Keep em coming maybe we'll see ya out there one day.
God bless. Yours truly, Terry Gibbs.
BTW, my best catch at my favorite location was 14" just last week.Slab tail pearl with blue flakes in medium clear water and in the
boil of the locks.
Loved the video Richard. Especially liked the detailed intro you gave on this one. Keep that part up
The fishing part is awesome but the ending is priceless
🤣 OMG Richard the end with hose gave me a good outburst laugh! What a way to start the day, uplifted the day for sure!
Thanks for sharing how you search for crappie. Another great video! I guess I move to slow and fish too long in one place when not getting bit. Thanks for the tips.
Ion know how I got to these videos but man I love em.
Wow... Richard... Another Great Video... If I didn't know better, I would think you're half Labrador Retriever the way this video ended... I Love it Man... Keep them coming...

Another dandy video Richard, enjoyed the insight to predawn crappie fishing!
Lol Richard Gene you are a nut. Enjoyed the show can't wait till the next one. Once again awesome fishing
Richard love your videos , very entertaining, you are very lucky to have the great weather to fish at least 12 months out of the year , but for me up north , we are lucky if we have 6-8 months that we can fish so I have to take time to view you videos will I am having cabin fever , because of the weather up north , anyway. Enjoy what you do ok.
Great video mr gene we learn alot from you and we thank you for teaching us from east texas
Great video Mean Gene. Your the man👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for taking me along!
Man I agree this March windy is brutal! we've been slaying them though. The water must getting warmer sooner there then it does here. We are still catching them deep.
Absolutely phenomenal info Richard...and catches👍 Loved it as always brother!! Good luck to everyone.....Thanks again for the incredible video!!!
Hope Clarence and Virsel gets to fellen better. Great Video.
A true Nut case that every one loves.. Good going Richard
Fantastic as usual, epic ending!
Thanks for the "inside information" on the fish and the Guntersville Lake. Hope to be that way soon to give it a try.
Thanks Richard for a very good video, with good tips on how to caught crappie.
Great video with great info! Thanks Mrs. Richard.
Another great one Richard Gene! You kill me you goof!....lol
The crappie are running up the creeks to spawn here in texas, i been catching nice 15/16inchers on 1/4oz rooster tails and rattle traps in about 7 feet of water. They are very aggressive when striking its crazy
Great video, Richard but that was the very best ending ever!
I got lost watching these videos the last couple of hours. I enjoy your videos man. I can’t wait for these nasty winds to die down so I can go fishing cause it good fer me!!!!!
Another awesome video Mr Richard!! If you ever get the chance to vacation to Florida you deff have a open spot on my boat to shoot some video!!!
Richard, thank you so much for what you do. I really enjoy watching you videos and I learn so much from them. I’m a local boy to Guntersville too. I would like to extend an invitation to you to come go with me spider rigging this spring. I am not trying to get any of your spots from you or anything. I would just consider it a privilege to have your company for a day on the water. If you are interested, just say the word.
Thanks for the info and the video! You Da' Man!
If the surface is 55 degrees would the water down deep be the same or warmer in the winter?
Warmer for sure without a doubt 100%.
Fantastic ending!
Thanks for such nice videos and for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. I watched three videos and kept being disappointed when you mentioned Elmer could not come today. Hair transplant got me good. But when you said he had to go to Walmart for boots I finally figured it out. No one would do that over fishing. Lol. I guess I am a bit slow, buddy. 😅
Smoked um again! Nice work...I’m headed to that water the last week in March hopefully the water temp will hold out until then.
Here is a tip for you: Go to where you catch crappie at in the winter. First off the crappie will move vertically on consecutively warm days. The fish will be more active also. Now after a few more days or weeks of this the fish will move horizontally toward spawning areas. As they make this move this will move toward and back away again from the bank. Shallow tapered banks and chunk rock banks will warm up quicker, so very likely crappie will be there first. Eventually the crappie will be almost every where along the banks. Also, lure color has very little to do with catching crappie with a moving bait. Either the crappie are there or there not. More important than lure color is swimming the bait at a depth the crappie like.
Scott Talken you are exactly correct sir. Its nice to hear when folks like you actually have something positive to say or educational and informative. Just by your response I can see that you are knowledgeable pertaining to Crappie. I agree with everything that you said in your post. Someone made a comment a few months ago that said to Mr.Gene and I quote "Can't you catch any other species of fish or go somewhere else" !!!! Man I blew a head gasket, I said hey buddy I wanna see you fish a 67,900 acre body of water with 964 miles of shore line and catch a 1/8th of what Mr.Gene catches. Have a good day buddy.......
You have the best Crappie videos, there Elmer Mer Relmer.
Enjoy your videos. Keep fishing for its good for us. 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
Thank you Richard!
I caught my first ever crappie following your tips. Here's hoping to catch some more today :3
My main goal in life is to go fish with the machine some day
Good job as always, appreciate that you use rods held together with electrical tape! Fixing to buy a couple of rods soon, will target ACC crappie rod along with a B&M to see which I prefer. Let ACC know that I'm shopping them due to you using their rods and giving me positive feedback. Thanks for all that you do and provide and wish you only the best!
Nice job Mr. Gene
The snow is flying outside my door Richard, watching you catch Liam slab crappie that's awesome was going to go fishing but I don't know it's probably going to be messy tomorrow supposed to get 3 to 6 inches I'll be glad when it's all out of here happy timelines keep up the great work awesome videos love it love it
Here in Kentucky, I've heard we may get up to 4 inches of snow tonight. UGH! I can't stand snow.
Damn you got me a hankerin to go, watchin you catch these fish!! lol
Richard, Crappie are strange critters. My ex BIL put in one of those underwater fish light "green eye" things in his private lake. We would just sit out at night on his pier and chat and watch all the fish in the water. After a while, all the fish would parade around in around the light. You could easily see the shapes of the individual species. Crappie where strange. Most species swim "belly down, back skyward". The Crappie would often swim or suspend sideways, upside down, straight up and down. It was like they had no sense of up and down. Just an observation. Also, great video man. The wind did look rough, but you got on them.
Pretty cool observation. Learn something new everyday.
Hello Mr. Gene. I noticed the windy conditions there on your video. What do you use to keep your boat so still? I noticed you do not use your trolling motor as much. Just wondering if it was a special anchor you were using. Thanks for the information. I have only fished on Lake Guntersville twice in a Cast For Kids event close to the state park but it was quite windy those days also.
I keep 4 different length PVC which is small in diameter and whenever I don't wanna use a anchor or trolling motor I'll simply take 1 out of my storage compartment and push it down into the bottom. I have 2 that are 10ft and 2 that are 14ft. They are light weight and use hardly NO space. This way if you gotta change or move location quickly it's as simple as pulling it up and out and down the river you go.
Sure enjoy your videos...Keep it up, Richard Gene!!!
There’s my ole buddy! I was starting to worry about you the last day or two, damn glad to see you back at it! Boy, I can’t wait to get out after it, but I have to wait on my son to come in from Ohio or my brother to come in from Bardstown, Ky, ( I have to go with either of them cause I don’t drive no more) - so there’s my ride (s)! Anyways I just about got them talked into doing some of your techniques, this spring & summer, and we’ve got quite a few places to go too!!! But anyway, good to see you partner! Fish on, Fish on!!!
Bald headed Elmo? I resemble that remark Mean Gene. Well, you know what they say... some turns gray and some turns loose. Excellent video. Thanks too many my friend.
Love the videos! Hoping to learn the crappie game half as good as you have! I'm going to try to figure em out this year, never really targeted them before. Tight lines from Lay Lake Alabama
Love the channel Ricky, keep um coming!
Hey Richard, let me know when you start your guide service...
Do u allways fish alone? Great info thanks
AWESOME video Richard !!!!
You're amazing Mr Gene you're funny I wish you could see those crappie I caught 3lbers
Great video Richard Gene and good info. I like fishing them stumps for them big crappie
My wife kept up the same orders about the yard so I went and got one of them zero turn mowers with mulch kit...wrote the check from our joint account. I can mow everthing in 20 minutes
She don’t complain about yard work no more!
