Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child?
Can she feel no love for the child she has
borne? But even if that were possible, I would
not forget you! See, I have written your name
on the palms of my hands. Always in my mind

What kind of rod is that ?
You’re a Good Man Gene The Machine
I love your videos Richard! I like all your different techniques and how you keep it simple. I also love how many daiwa reels you use, I got a bunch of them and they are so smooth. You remind me of fishin with my old man. Keep it up sir!

We know it's not you Richard, because you don't answer your subscribers comments.
Good one
So what ? Hes not obligated to reply to you
@@AustinRoney-r9w oh, you a smartass now huh? It's not a requirement to reply, it's just polite. But you being a smartass wouldn't understand that.
Your videos are amazing, Congratulations you are a great fisherman!👍🎣🥰
Your fishing was fantastic with beautiful fish.
Hug!!!
Tis live worm season Richard!!!! I caught about 60 Shellcracker on live red worms today at the local lake
I remember catching big crappies on worms when l was a kid ,you Richard are by far the best fishermen out there,God bless you and your family.
Hello sir from Ohio. I don’t usually subscribe to many channels at all, but your channel, and this video in particular, got me to click the subscribe button and hit the thumbs up quicker than I ever have any other channel. This is some really great advice here. And believe it or not more fisherman overlook this technique than you could believe. At least more than are willing to admit it 😂. It’s not only because the crappie will at certain times absolutely crush worms, but it also shows a technique that can be extremely productive when anything and everything will just not work. It’s a great technique especially in heavily pressured and overly fished areas. I also use it to land very finicky monster red ears and those bull bluegills. I use it sometimes with micro baits as well when the majority of the folks just aren’t catching ‘em. A great technique with worms, crickets, grubs, and even leeches. There’s a lot of folks in the comment section that are saying things like “Well no crap worms are good for catching fish” and that “crappies feed on anything when their schooled up and hungry” and that may be true. But try this technique when everyone else isn’t catching them left and right. That’s when this technique will absolutely work the best given the right bait on the end of your line. And I have to add that I absolutely loved your perspective and your take on how we have become so reliant on technology and the fact that common sense isn’t needed in a lot of the things we do today. So much of the simple way of life and not overthinking everything we do is just not there anymore. I for one miss it badly. This is a very good video with an even better message behind it. Listening to you talk reminds me so much of my father who is saving a spot for me up where the fish are as big as you say they are, and their always biting. I thank you for that! New sub -R.W Ohio
My 7 year old and I just went out this evening and got about 10 crappie and 15 big bluegills and he caught his first walleye 🎉 he was happy 😁
That’s awesome! I love fishing with my son.
Taking kids fishing and teach them how to fish and catch fish is one of the biggest greatest blessings the Lord has ever allowed me to have
On nightcrawlers?
Yea so Ive been catchin a ton of crappies on neon pink trout magnets. Two best colors for me right now have been pink and gold. Hope that helps someone reading this because it’s been awesome for me.
Ive caught crappie on worms this week. Ive even caught them in the winter at depths on nightcrawlers. Ive caught crappie on a fly rod. Ive caught them on my bass setups. They’re voracious feeders. Love crappie!
That’s funny because I can’t catch them on anything
Sounds like a Dr.Seuss story...Yess I've caught them
We used to do this when I was a kid. The only problems is that we have so many of the little green sunfish that never get very big that just steal worms that it can become frustrating. They are like little demons that seems to hit before anything else even has a chance. We would literally go through a couple of coffee cans full of worms we dug, just to get a decent mess of bluegill. The only time I fish with worms now, is when bluegill are spawning and they protect their beds and will keep those little brats away, or at least thin them out.
often wondered why noone used worms for crappie ,i have caught a lot of crappie with worms-good video-god bless
I was ice fishing on the Canadian border this winter. Tried earthworms for Perch but they wouldn't bite whereas they were going crazy for the white worms, maggots. I think it's because the earthworms were packed with earth and crap all throughout. Perch was just being picky...
Richard, like your videos. Been fishing crappie and other fish for over 50 years, and still tune in when find out about a fishing video. Have fished Fla to Washington State, Montana to Nm and Texas, as well as point in between. Still find things that catch my interest. Only really have one problem, as live in SW NM. It is not catching crappie, can do that. The problem is turned wife on to eating crappie 5 years ago. Then she turned her then 4 yr. old granddaughter onto eating them. Now they dont want to share. I can eat the other fish but leave the crappie alone.
Thank you for sharing. I was hoping you would have a crappie video using worms. Because i have caught more crappie or all fish using worms way way more then any thing else. God bless you sir and your whole family...🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.
Richard if you get a chance will you fish a drop shot for bluegills? Thanks! You’re videos are always the best.
Will do
I think bluegills are the best tasting they got little natural spicy to them
Ain't that's something Mr. Gene I only caught one slab off big red and one big blue gill off a crappie minnows
Thanks again Richard, love your videos.
Just went fishin' today here in Gadsden, Alabama and caught several crappie on night crawlers. I thought they were blind crappie...lol. Now I'm watching you talk about fishin' for crappie with worms.
WOOOOO!! ROLL TIDE!!!
I love your channel Richard Gene.
I believe you could catch a crappie on a bare hook lol some day I would love the opportunity to go fishing with you I go fishing trying to catch some crappie but most of the time I don’t do real good at it but I don’t get go as much as I would like to. I fish a deep lake center hill lake. Well, a bad days fishing is still better than a good day I work I enjoy every chance I get to go out and fish. God bless I enjoy your channel
I’ve used all kind of line fishing for crappie, bluegill, red ear, yellow perch, trout etc. I’ve come full circle and now I use what I started with Berkeley Trilene clear!!!!!
I think Richard is the most knowledgeable expert on Crappie Fishing I have ever heard in my life!
Biggest crappie I ever caught was with a red wiggler 3lbs 17.5 inches while fishing for bluegill
I hope yall are okay after those storms!
I enjoy your videos so much Richard Gene so wanted to say Thank You!!! In a couple of your videos you've mentioned using an ultralight rod and in another I believe it was a light rod. I'm looking to buy a rod for crappie fishing and was wondering if you would recommend sticking with ultralight or go to a little heavier light rod? Please say hello to Elmo!!
I know I’m not Richard, but I personally would go with the Light power rod. The reason being, you have a little bit more versatility in terms of jig weights. I fish a lot of 1/16oz jigs but sometimes when they go a bit deeper, an 1/8 or 3/16oz jig is required and the Light power rod handles those weight better than an ultralight in my opinion. The Light power rod also gives you a bit more horsepower to pull on a fish to get them out of weeds or wood or any cover, or if you hook into a bass or a bigger species, you’ll be able to fight those fish easier with that little bit heavier backbone in the rod. Hope that helps, good luck this season
I can't imagine how many rod and reels this man has
Enjoy your videos. Maybe another trip with Old Fisherman is in your plans? Also, where can you purchase the Sowbelly Rods?
Richard that was probably one of the more unique videos I have seen! Catching crappie on night crawlers! Wow! You were up their like you were teaching a class! Loved it. Catching crappie on night crawlers what technique.
Richard, I think you could catch a fish out of a glass of water in a resteraunt with a jelly bean. Lol.
I usually catch black crappie on worms but very rarely catch white crappie on worms.
Love your videos Richard, when you mentioned a float, did you men a weighted float or a snap on float without lead? Because at snap on float want stand up straight without some type of weight. Also can you use 4 to 6 pound line?
I just want to say thank you sr you are very informative I really enjoy watching your channel
I would love to fish with you Mr Gene. Love your videos very informative. Keep them coming. From Kissimmee Florida.
Great video Mr. Richard always love watching your videos and learning from your techniques that you share. God bless and tight lines to you 🎣🎣
I'm glad you made this video. My wife and I caught a bunch of crappie on worms last year. When we told people about it we just got a funny look from them. God bless my friend and tight lines.
I want to see how you fillet your panfish and I really want to see Mamma Sue's recipes!! I can't wait for the day that a catch and cook video pops up on your feed.
This is truly amazing. A few years ago, this only happened for me one evening! Then never again, in the same lake...
Brother you are THE Crappie master!!
Richard Richard the man the fish whisper I can say of all the tv fishermen shows I would just soon as to watch yours. And I’ve watch watch a ton of them over the years. God bless you.
It's always nice to hear something new about fishing, any fishing, that only experience makes it wise. Thank you for the video.
Love your vids didn’t know they would bite a night crawler
You get a new camera? Much appreciate your work brother!
One time me and my father went fishing at Lake Hartwell in Anderson, SC. He caught some humongous crappie on worms under a bobber! I miss fishing with him. I wish I lived next door to you!
What else can I say except another outstanding vidio! Thanks for another great fishing adventure and comedy to boot! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY from a fellow fisherman from PENNSYLVANIA!
Channel reminds me of the fishing shows I used to watch ask a kid in the 90s simple and to straight to fishing and fishing tip are classic
I’ve never targeted them with worms , but have caught them on worms. No spring yet up here in Michigan but have been watching the diving ducks migrating on the lakes here. They are catching walleye on Detroit river they’re moving on a spawning run. Crappie will move up to spawn by early May. Bluegill and shellcracker late May to mid June
I'm down here in cedar bluff Alabama, where ole Richard fishes alot...I moved here from Owosso couple years back. To fish. Love the weather here. I catch some of the best fish here in the very mild winters . But thanks for the wonderful memory reminders of pure Michigan. Let's go Brandon.
Good video and thanks for taking us along. I'd almost say Richard that you could go deep sea fishing and they would be crappie there waiting on you. Would almost say. Haha. Thank you and God bless you and yours
😀Thank You Richard for the great info and a super video, you are a great teacher!!!
Worms are perfect for this, but, there used to be a Lure that Blue Fox used to make, a small, fat, white grub with legs you could pull off, and a short pink skirt. I used to catch a crappie on just about every cast using it on the Kern river. Those were river crappie, white crappies, in fast water, and it was as much fun as catching trout.
Hi Richard - Can you please do a Video on how you Solo your boat in and out of the water?
Awesome video Richard. I member bluegill fishin with my Grampa n Great aunt n catchin crappi too. Gonna have to give it a shot again this year. Thnx RGTFM for remindin me n lettin me tag along with ya on your adventure, I enjoyed it
A for sure seasoned fisherman. I love your vids. Esp how you said how we over analyze which I'm so guilty of. Go Richard Gene The Fishing Machine! Thank you for your knowledge!
I've learned so much from watching your videos Mr Fishing Machine! Thank you
Good to see you back at Dekalb… I’ve caught a few on worms before. I guess they’ll feed on whatever falls in front of em… I’ve had a lot of luck on a monkey milk Bobby garland too fishing the edge of the weed beds. Great video Richard, that lake is beautiful.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm learning so much from you. I'm going to try your technique this week. God bless you.
One of the biggest Crappie I’ve caught ate a live lizard.
Richard, do you ever worry about the paint on your jig heads where your line is tied chipping and knicking your line at the knot? I worry about that with 4 pound line so I chip the paint off the eye ring. Am I over concerned about that?
I’ve caught some good crappie on worms, glad to see someone else doing it!
And here in Florida we still call them speckled perch
I have family in South Georgia that call them speckled perch.
Canada love your tips and antics. Good fun watching your videos.
Another goodun brother Gene. I've caught Crappie on about everything but a top water rig. I guess if they were hungry enough, they would go after them, too.
I still like minnows an small jigs. I love my underspins.
Buddy, I hope you have Mamma Sue happy now. I'd sure hate for her to send you back for more, she might put some of them pop knots on yer noggin.
Brother, I hope you know how much we enjoy and appreciate these videos.
God bless you and your family, brother, and have a blessed day.
Thank you sir!!!! I've been fishing 🎣 all my life, &still love you learning &me too!!!! Blessings to you and ALL IN YOUR HEART ❤️
How did you know the depth?
Mr Gene you are the Machine !
I love that you are so honest
This time of the year,Crappy are Happy !
I just wanted to say thanks for all the great shows and the way you teach fokes to fish .hope for many more years of your experience on video .thanks

Another good video Richard! Keep up the good work.
Thank you for this showing this Technique I cought and 5 pound bass doing this Technique.Thank you Richard.
And yet another way to catch crappie that I've never tried! Awesome video, THANKS and GOD BLESS
One day before my time is up I’ll get a chance to fish for them again , thanks again for sharing your video
Thanks for all the great videos Richard! I was wondering if you've tried or had luck with the Bobby Garland mayfly. (I just ordered some.) Thanks for all your fishing tips and techniques, I employ a lot of them with success up here in Massachusetts ponds.
I have tore some crappie up with worms.
I really enjoy watching your videos. You keep the art of fishing enjoyable to watch! And you teach while doing so… thank you much.
Growing up in LA, (Lower Alabama) I always caught crappy on worms. However, I haven't even considered worms for crappy in the passed couple of decades. I'm going to try some worms tomorrow.
I’ve been catching crappies from worms since I was a kid and still does great clips 👍
I have also found this to be true when i am fishing for some fish for the pan, and the crappie and bluegill are mixed together i will throw a double jig rig with two 64th ounce jigs. One with a 1" gulp alive minnow and one with a gulp alive angle worm. And i have caught lost of crappie on the jig with the small synthetic worm
You are truly so enjoyable and it’s even better when mama Sue’s with you!!! God bless you
Hope you and your family are safe from any harm from those storms, sending prayers to everyone down south that needs em
Love this channel! Just subscribed today and can't stop watching.
One of the best fishing shows on I really enjoy watching. It’s just good for you🎣
I am semi-retired and new to fishing in a small country town in Wyoming. Last year, I've started purchasing some fishing equipment and only able right now, to fish at 2 local small lakes close to my home. I can only fish by shore and have no boats, etc. Since most of the fish breeds might be: cat fish, crappie, bass, walleye and maybe trout... I'm not sure how well they are stock the lake each year? I currently have 2 spinning reals and a good start of different lures right now. Since I don’t really have to many friends to go fishing all the time... I need to really understand each breed., swimming habits, best type of baits to use and fishing techniques. I came across this first on crappie fishing on TH-cam. I look forward in seeing your other TH-cam channels on other breeds to. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I am also looking forward in April to start fishing again. I had "zero" success last year.
Great video! Would be nice to see a video on how you clean your crappie.
Great video Richard. I have caught lots of crappie on worms since I was boy. I just recently was telling a good fishing buddy what I was catching them on night crawlers and he couldn’t hardly believe it. God bless you Richard. WOOOOO
This was awesome! God Bless you Mr. Helms
Thanks for another great video Mr Gene! A really interesting technique to try on local waters here in Fla.! I usually use 4 and 6lb. line like Trilene XL, and those same exact hooks for minnows, so it’s time to find some worms for a try. God Bless you Richard and Mama Sue!
What waters are u fishing in
Mainly W. Central Fla., Lake Tarpon.

Best fisherman on the internet no doubt...
CONSIDER ;
Red wiggles ( snip 1/4" off tail & nose hook ). Also a 3/16" chartreuse bead above a # 6 hook on 6 lb fluorocarbon with a bullet sinker 12". Fish the edges. So deadly !
Is the sinker 12" up rigged like carolina or near the hook and on top of the bead?
@@erikr1898 Yes. At winters end most fish are near the bottom. Fish light to dark water from a boat. Dark to light water from shore. Fan cast & move over two casts until you find fish. There are gathering points. When the fish hits, relax the line (hesitate), then set the hook.
I have never seen crappie caught on worms like this. It has to be the way you hook that worm and leave it free. If I fished my lake like that, I'll have 50 Bluegill or Longear Sunfish. I was sitting here thinking you have a net around your perimeter underwater to hold all the crappie and the panfish are stacked up around the square watching through the net. Ha ha! However, I am going to try your technique and see what happens. I'll hope for crappie but I am still afraid panfish or channel cats. Ha ha!
Love your videos. Have learned alot from them.
Hi Richard. Tony Penrod hear in Indiana.
I love watching you and your videos.
And everything you do, your awesome.
I was wondering why we never see you fish with tube jugs. And should we put braid in water for a week like the other line. And how long do you like to leave your line on your reel. Love you and everything you do for us all. Keep it going baby. You have helped me so much.
Thank you so ever much. Love you buddy.
Thanks for sharing Your techniques with us.
Thank you for this video. I have some nightcrawlers in the fridge now and about to go test it out. Even tho it’s much warmer here in south tx
Thanks, Richard Gene! It's goooooood FER YOU!
Thank you for sharing this Richard! You and Elmer always helping me catch some Crappie!
Mr. Machine, I was wondering if there is fishing supply companies that support your channel. You champion nikko helgamites a lot. I would like to support your supporters. I really enjoy your channel a lot. Your creek fishing videos using live bait and vintage reels are my favorite. I can’t wait till you start back making the creek videos.
Thanks for the new technique of night crawler
You are the GOAT sir.
Nice, nice, nice
just got done flipping tires and 1x's in tall wet grass and ended up with a handle full of wigglers. 👍🏾
You got a lot of tools in your box always a treat
Great video! To piggy back on this one I could use more information on how to catch minnows.
Richard I caught a 17 inch crappie last year fishing for catfish, big nightcrawler on the bottom, so I belive you!
I caught a crappie off a 4” chartreuse and black pepper flake lizard. When they hungry they eat anything.
