GOD BLESS AND THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!
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!
I second that motion
@@schoolboy405 Wait for me guys... I'm all in with this!
This comment made me look further into this channel. Dope videos maing 🤘🤘🤘
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.
Facts Facts Facts !!!!!!! A LEGEND🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
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 TH-cam. Love your videos man
I eat her to use her
Evadalyne Marbaniang???
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.
Love to see dad's take there kids fishing no matter how old they are.
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!!
Best part of this is seeing you getting to spend time with your son! Creating memories!
"We'll edit that out" I'm glad you didn't. That made me smile. 😁 3:23
Me too! 😃
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.
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.
Nothing better than spending time with your loved ones and catching fish, especially during these crazy times. God bless you and family. Roll Tide
Hopefully Kevin appreciates being able to fish with his Dad. Not everyone is able to have the same experience. Great Video!
Thankyou for making this video because I got some whopper plopped a few days ago and didn’t know how to use it
Nothing like it! Fishing is a sport second to none!
I love the quality time spent fishing with Kevin.
Love the channel, love what you stand for! My dad and me always use hedden chugger spooks. Love top water fishing. Dad went to be with the Lord in April. Kevin, fish all you can with your dad! I'd love to fish 1 more time with mine. God bless you Richard and bless this channel, keep them coming👍
😞 heavy stuff brother. Make him proud. Hook a10+
It's been six years since my dad went home, so to anybody who still have a dad please go fishing every chance y'all get.
As always, great video Mr. Richard. I had to cancel having my son, 14 years old, for the summer due to the pandemic and everything else going on for his safety (most important thing as a Dad, obviously). And seeing you with your son, doing what I hoped to do with mine this summer, well, I teared up a bit. It was really cool to see you guys fishing and just hanging out. These are the times that memories are better than all else. I've been here since 93k subscribers and am hooked! Keep it up guys! Love the content!
Good to see father and son having a lot of fun Fishing together .God bless you both.
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.
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 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Everything about your videos is a positive message and that is not an easy thing to find these days. Not saying everyone is negative, but it leaks into channels little by little, usually due to the sway of a sponsor or two and it drains the authenticity out of it for me. Beautiful scenery, top notch instruction and genuine human emotion and humor... What more could we ask the Gene family for? All the best to you and your family and may God continue to Bless us with your content!
I'm 61 and still cherish "fishing with dad" several times a year
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.
My dads been gone since I was 18 im 35 now 😢 I feel you brother
This is exactly why I subscribed to this channel, this man uses everything to catch a good 🎣
I’ve said it before! The next best thing to fishing myself is watching your videos. Absolutely the best content! Keep on and God bless my friend!
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. 👊👍
I hold the rod tip up too. Helps keep the nose from digging in and rolling over. Bone color and black - my #1 and #2. Good to see your son in the boat! Can't wait to get back down to Guntersville- Goose Pond area. Love that topwater action around dusk.
He's got the greatest dad there could be.
I love this man’s energy! And the love he has for the fish and his son is awesome!!!
Just started watching! I never got to know my grandpa, so these videos make me feel warm and fuzzy.
Even Richard Gene adds a pound or two to "the one that got away" lol
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!!
Thanks for the vid, I’m trying out versions of the whopper plopper
Ive been watching your videos for awhile now and just wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge. Ive used alot of your tricks to catch crappie at pickwick lake. Thanks for your videos and remember... Go fishing when you can cause its good fer you! No truer words have been spoken. Thank you Mr. Gene
Which region of pickwick do you normally fish, the Alabama Wilson end or down near the other end?
Richard Gene's Videos alone will make a person a better angler💪❤
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.
Richard Gene you are my favorite fisherman. I can watch you fish for Hours.
Makes me wish I had just one more chance to go fishing with my old man. Great video.
Spent the day today fishing a big farm pond in northeast Ohio .. Very hot day , about 88 degrees .. used a couple different colors of these, running along shaded areas, and man .. Bass after Bass , it was awesome!!!
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.
That video put a smile on my face Kevin's a good sport
I've been on a week binge with these videos . Tell elmo i said , It's good fer ya !
Yes I need a true legend its a pleasure seeing u on here us country boys gotta stick together
Great to see all the fathers with there sons .. fishing .and enjoying themselves.
Love your videos Richard Gene! You are the Man of bass and crappie fishing no doubt in my mind. Enjoy your time on the water with your son as it always special!
That's great enjoy the time with your son 😊
You are the craziest ,most fish knowledgeable person on the Tube...new sub rightcheer !!
One of my favorite of yours. Like a parent and kid fishing together.
Special time, father and son fishing. I miss my Dad, but I have fond memories of us fishing together.
What a great video today, this was a real treat seeing you and your son fishing together.
Great video! Nothing better than spending a day fishing with your kid.
Best topwater go pro camera work ive seen yet. All across you tube.
I pulled a nice flathead into the kayak a couple of nights ago. My fishing buddy was up the river a piece, so, I let out an ol' RGTFM special to get his attention.
"WOOOOOOOO"
its really amazing and awesome to see you fishing with your son sir, i always appreciate that. i cant wait for your next video, have a wonderful weekend sir.
Richard thank you for having your TH-cam fishing space my brother-in-law pays lot of tension the way you fish and I am so grateful he ain't but one time been able to go out fish me so Richard you just keep up the good work
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!
Always enjoy your video’s Richard God bless.
This is the most American TH-cam fishing channel ever 🇺🇲🇺🇸
Enjoyed that one also Richard. Good to see that young man of yours.
Richard you are a cut above the rest keep it going your have the very best videos on how to fish on line dont ever quit buddy
I love that both of yall are wearing converse
My fav fishing channels. One of my fav channels in general.
Love this Richard! Been watching your videos for a couple years now. My boys watch them with me. We live in Iowa but are from down south. Love watching you fish with you son today! God bless you!!!
"It's about like flushing a commode on a bait." I love it Richard.
Best and funniest fishing TH-camr ever
I wish I would have done more fishing with my dad. Miss him!
I love whopper ploppers. I barely ever use any other lure based on the water and time of year I fish. But the way the hooks basically tangle whatever you are setting it on really makes me hooks shy. I buried a crankbait straight down into my pinky past the barb a year ago and have been hook shy ever since.
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!
This is an awesome fishing youtube channel!! Richard is an awesome fisherman and as real as can be.. I would like to have a friend like Richard to go fishing with any day.. 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!!
Thank you for the videos sir. I appreciate all the time and effort that you put into these videos. It’s much appreciated.🤘🏽
Love your channel. Content is great! I love fishing but most channels are boring or not very informative. You have helped me improve may fishing and encouraged me to get out and fish water that I never have before. Keep up the good work!
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.
Thank you sir I am learning fish hard plastic I am currently using a River2Sea whopper plopper
Thank you for the tips. I’ve never used a Whopper Plopper before. Looks like a fun little lure.
Best one yet Richard! Loved watching you fishing with your boy. God bless you! We need more people like you in this world.
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.
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
I believe it to be true, that any body of water if Richard Gene the fishing machine is not on it, it is either no good fishing or no fishing at all. You do it right my friend. Keep them coming. And when you can, try to start going every day. Blessings my friend. Bishop Keith Kirby.
As usual one of the best fishermen on the water
It's a blessing to go fishing with your son. We're going tomorrow. You've got a good boy there.
Best thing about the "rona virus" is watching you catch fish....God bless!!
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.
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
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. 💯
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!
Atta boy, Richard, take a young'un fish'in. Make a memory for a life time. Keep up the good work! GBU. 🎣🐸⚓🇺🇸
I feel you on the short strikes, they do seem to happen a LOT on early year top water. Nothing beats top water action though! I LOVE IT!
Gotta use those pliers though, the hooks will bite!
Just got a Whopper Plopper 90 in the Bone color and i’m super excited to try it later this week!
Keep it up Richard and thanks for posting this morning.. there is no better way to start my day thanks man and god bless
When a man with an accent like Richard talks fishin, you best be listenin!
Have just recently found your channel, have learned soooooooo much from you as I am relatively new to the fishing game! Sooooo awesome to see you out with your son, that is what it's all about! Memories for a lifetime! Keep em comin' man! and trust me I go fishin' when I can cuz I know its goooood fer ya!
Gotta love it!! Big fan of all of your videos Richard, but I’m quite partial to your artificial lure, bass fishing videos. I’d love to see some jig fishing for bass if you can!
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.
just imagine how awesome of a dad he would be. like if he was my dad i would be so thankful
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.
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!
Love your channel, so glad I found you. After working all night I come home and relax and watch your videos. Thanks for all you do!
Father and son time! I love it!
I come back to this video often just family out fishing with one my favorite lures. Hope y’all are doing well
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!
Awesome! The video was top notch. I will definitely be watching the next one! Keep it up!
Absolutely awesome to have your kids in the boat. God bless ya bud! Keep it up
That’s the good all star rods. Owned many of those. The new ones don’t compare
keep on fishing gene, such a legend.
Just bought a couple of them. Very informative video. Thanks sir
I love Whopper plopper fishing, glad you didn't edit the cross cast out!
Great video!!! Keep up the great content
