i’ve been watching you since your very first video. you have gotten me through a lot of hard times. I just want to tell you thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you read this message.
Thank you so much MisterSpaceLee! That means a lot brother! Im glad you enjoy the channel. I know how it is we all go through some tough times, but always remember go fishin when you can! God bless
Who you see is who you get with RG. He is a gentle, exceptionally talented fisherman, God loving family man, and crazy as a hoot owl! Years ago, when he fished on the pro tour, he was kind enough to bring his bass boat to a fishing event we were holding. He let the kids crawl up onto his boat, and gave my youngest daughter a hat he signed. To this day she treasures it, and is still eager to go fishing! He IS a fishin’ machine, and a treasure to the sport of fishing.
Your goal in life needs to be someone that another someone writes comments like this about you. I'm southern man and watching Richard is just like folks I run and talk with on a weekly basis
Only thing I use mine for now is to see if there are fish there. I fish in south Louisiana where most places are less than 6 ft water. Active target or live scope doesn't work well in swallow water. I hardly even mess with mine. It takes up too much of my time
Richard Gene ad Mama Sue…..thank you for being an inspiration and guiding us back to the Lord while we enjoy the outdoors. I remember when covid was challenging your family, and God’s will be done, y’all made it through. Keep makin videos and giving us the inspiration!!!
Not only have applied your panfish techniques, which has increased my ability to catch bigger fish, but also more when everyone isn’t doing as well but your unashamed talk of Jesus is what really hooked me.. be blessed RGTFM and keep on planting those seeds…
God bless you and your family buddy! It’s so good to see a working man to be able to enjoy himself. I know I do! The sport of fishing is second to none!
Richard Jean, HE did the same thing for me. Washed my sins away. Who knows maybe we’ll meet up on the other side one day. At my age, I’ll probably be there before you. I’ll scout out some good places for us to fish if that’s allowed.
For people wondering how he can cast the reel out so far, it's really quite simple, two things, 1) Line, when pan fishing crappie, bluegill, , or similar, when using pan fish size jigs 1/16 and smaller, using fishing line 6lb test or smaller is best, my favorite is Mr Crappie 6lb high viz. I think it's the perfect balance between strength and castability(limpness), 2)Make sure your spool is full, this is very important, full to the edge of the spool,( the more the line rubs on the top rim of the spool as it goes off the spool, the harder it is for the light weights jig to go out. Follow these 2 simple steps and you won't believe the difference, with a light flip of the wrist, you'll be casting those light jigs almost across the lake in no time. It's surprising most people don't know this. Your welcome in advance, and enjoy.
Amen!! Usually no matter what I’m fishing for, I have a bluegill pole rigged up. Was my first love and will always be that. I have to agree, best tasting fish ever. Thank you for sharing.
Richard you are the best on youtube,no one even comes close to you,thank you for taking the time to show how you catch the fish and what to use, you have taught me so much about fishing and life itself,God is great! God bless you and moma sue always! 😇
A while ago I was at a pretty secluded lake that not even the locals really knew about and I was fishing for bass. Not a single bass bite that day. I say hell with it and throw on a small hook and WOW I was catching some of the biggest bluegill I had ever seen. After that I went straight to the sports shop and bought myself a nice little panfish setup and I couldn't wait to go catch some more. And God bless you too, Richard. Thank you for showing me the panfish way.
Brother I can truly say I love watching your videos, not only because I love to fish, and watch you fish, but also because you share the Lord. You never know how God may use your videos to reach someone. I love you my brother! Keep up the good work!
Hi Mr. Richard. Thank you for taking us along on another great outing and teaching segment. May God continue to bless you, your family and your channel.
Richard Gene, Thank you for being such an awesome brother. In Christ, but also being for being a representative for the sport of fishing. To take your time to share your knowledge the way you do it touch my heart. God Bless you for what you do.
"That grunt is me restraining myself". I heard the same grunt from a better hunter than I, as he restrained himself from pulling the trigger on an out of season deer as his rifle was brought up and in his sight. I heard the grunt milliseconds before I saw the deer bounding off. All I could think of was the restraint as this beauty jumped and ran. Sad to say...my rifle never came up. Yeah, he was better than me... GREAT word at the end, credit where it belongs! Praise God and the blessings of our Lord, Jesus, the Christ!
Great video and information 😊 I found some big bluegill in a creek recently that never were there before and been catching them on red worms, trout magnets and spinners 😊 I kept one for my aquarium and the rest I'm stocking my pond with lol
Gene I took your advice,I was having a very slow day bream fishing with bobber. I remember you said to fish without bobber and slowly reel in. Omg,the bream started hitting crazy!!!
I love your adrelagin problem, lol! Been awhile since you belted out a good Wooo! Thanks for your lessons in life and fishin and pitting good clean and comedic videos! I'm still looking forward to a fishin trip myself, 2 jobs and wife and kids fills up the days. May God continue blessing you! Can't wait for the next video!!!
That line is good casting feel with crappie jigs, I just strung mine up with that around 2 weeks ago and its been a good experience so far, caught crappie, largemouth, carp, spotted bass, smaller catfish, all with good feel casting and thump feel
You should do a clean and cook episode sometime. I know they cook them in different parts of the country. They became my new favorite fish to fish for .I used to target bass but they’re too far and few and they’re not very good to eat.
Thank you we enjoy watching and learning from your fishing experience knowledge and skill! there is so much nonsense on tv and yes youtube it is good when we meet folks that are willing to lift up and share our Lord this ole world needs that!! more than ever! God Bless you and your house
Sounds like you have found some of Brood XIX of the 13 year cicadas. We have a double hatch in Illinois and they are loud! Appreciate your video as always!
If it makes you feel any better about the hot weather, in Central Florida the temperature and humidity are both the same - 95. Your ultra light outfit is almost like fly fishing, just amazing skills. Thank you for another great video. I hope you get to 500k subscribers soon.
Richard you are a joy to watch and learn from. I have an 9 & 11 yr old boys and we love fishing and watching your videos. Do you have a technique for fishing top water for bluegill & shellcracker? Thank you for all you do for the sport of fishing! God bless!!
Beautiful Testimony brother, keep it up. But one day I am going to have to show you all what an ultralight rod and reel is. Your rod and reel are HUGE compared to what I fish with..
Mr. Gene, Nice catch on the big bluegills. They'll definitely make a tastey meal! Would you please consider filming the fish fry and the fixings? We miss seeing Mama Sue! Thank you, sir.
God bless brother , I truly enjoy your show . I hope to learn many skill from . I want to employ some of your skill on the West Coast on the lakes and rivers.
Definitely right with the casting. It’s a lot of just swinging that bait on some 2lb. I swear if I can’t get some 2lb and I have to use 4lb it feels like I’m fishing with a tv cord. My brother swears up and down that the 2 lb is no good. I’m glad to hear someone else saying it too
I used to have a lot of fun catching them on a Rebel grasshopper small crankbait, I'd just twitch it like a top water bait .I liked seeing em come up and hitting them . .
Hey Mr. Richard, I love your videos, just wanted to say you can get a polarized lens for your gopro that'll cut down some of the reflection on the water. Then we'll be able to see those huge beds better! Woooooooo!
Thank you, Richard. Great video. Thanks for all you do and sharing your knowledge. Thanks for sharing your love of Jesus and the power and blessing of God. God bless y'all and stay safe on your travels to these fishing spots.
Growing up, bluegill meant dinner. Now I just love to fish for them. People can keep their bass and crappie. There is nothing better than a mess of gills. Now I am trying to learn to jig for them like you do.
Mr. Gene, Love your channel, and the character you display in all of your videos! I’m not a big “TH-cam” guy but I always make sure I catch as many of your videos as I can! Just wondering if you have ever fished bluegill (especially when on their beds) with a clear casting bobber and a cricket on about a 4’ leader? Basically makes the cricket a top water presentation, and if you are throwing over beds, it’s absolutely deadly! I used to ride my bike to a lake about 5 miles from my house when I was a kid, and would always come back with a stringer full for dinner! Anyway, love your videos, and if you’ve ever fished this way, I would love to see a video on it! God Bless, and keep on fishin… cause it’s good fer ya!😊
Thanks for your salvation testimony Richard. Using your platform and influence to point folks to Christ is what will last forever. Laying up treasure in heaven. Love you, Brother!
i’ve been watching you since your very first video. you have gotten me through a lot of hard times. I just want to tell you thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope you read this message.
Day 1 ☝️
It's impossible to end a Richard gene video in a negative mood. Wooo!
I love this dude so much! He’s almost like my second dad. My actual dad taught me a lot about fishing, but Richard has taught me more!
Thank you so much MisterSpaceLee! That means a lot brother! Im glad you enjoy the channel. I know how it is we all go through some tough times, but always remember go fishin when you can! God bless
I have as well

It seems like he's some kind of fishing machine or something....
Your goal in life needs to be someone that another someone writes comments like this about you. I'm southern man and watching Richard is just like folks I run and talk with on a weekly basis
Then you are a lucky man.
A real fisherman using experience and instinct, instead of live scope
I'm the same way
Only thing I use mine for now is to see if there are fish there. I fish in south Louisiana where most places are less than 6 ft water. Active target or live scope doesn't work well in swallow water. I hardly even mess with mine. It takes up too much of my time
Been following you since you had a 3,000 subs. Thanks for sharing your faith at the end. Like fishing, faith in Christ never get old.
Richard always good to watch you fish and talk about the Lord. God bless you and Mama Sue 🙏

I always learn something from your videos, good stuff!
Excellent fishing video and awesome testimony
One of my wife and my favorite fishing right here. We use a canoe but same technique and great eating.
If it makes you feel any better about the hot weather, in Central Florida the temperature and humidity are both the same - 95. Your ultra light outfit is almost like fly fishing, just amazing skills. Thank you for another great video. I hope you get to 500k subscribers soon.
I get skunked 3 out of 4 fishing trips. I still thank our creator for the life I have and the time to go fishing.
Thanks Richard
Great show Richard. Love the Gill fishing.
Thanks for another great video. The message at the end was the best part! 🙌 God bless!
The limit on Lake Guntersville on bream/bluegill is 50 & 30 on crappie. Still loved the video though !!!
Amen Mr Richard may God continue to bless you and mama Sue
Fantastic Video Richard Gene the fishing machine........
You're the man Gene! keep em coming!

If Richard Gene can get near a body of water he will never go hungry. Love his vids.
God Bless you and yours Mr. Richard! 🙏

We’d love to see you cook these up for a video!
Shew Richard Gene take off the hoodie! You're burning me up! 😂
Hey Mr. Richard, I love your videos, just wanted to say you can get a polarized lens for your gopro that'll cut down some of the reflection on the water. Then we'll be able to see those huge beds better! Woooooooo!
Richard Gene the fishing machine, you can’t out fish mama Sue!!!! WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Thank you, Richard. Great video.
Thanks for all you do and sharing your knowledge. Thanks for sharing your love of Jesus and the power and blessing of God.
God bless y'all and stay safe on your travels to these fishing spots.
Bless you and your willingness to share your experiences :-)
I've had them hit a zara spook and get hooked in the past. A big ol, purple bull bluegill. Blew up on it so hard he came out of the water.
Love seeing you tear up panfish. I gotta ask, what brand line do you use? I'm having a tough time finding quality 2lb hi vis line.
Growing up, bluegill meant dinner. Now I just love to fish for them. People can keep their bass and crappie. There is nothing better than a mess of gills. Now I am trying to learn to jig for them like you do.
You are the man Richard Gene! Thank yiu for honoring the Lord!!!
Thank you for another great fishing and video, including a wonderful Christian testimony.
Thanks buddy, really enjoy your videos!
Thank you Sir Richard you're the best

Went out yesterday searching for bluegill beds, found one and landed 8 in no time. They were loving the meal worms
“First fish I ever caught it excited me so much! I still can’t get the excitement out of me!” Spoken like a true fisherman. 🫡🔥🔥🔥
19:07 Amen my brother.
God bless you Richard Gene
I have the same rod. It’s by far my favorite light rod.
Do you have a video that shows how you like to prepare these Bluegill/Shell Crackers ?
Thanks in advance
Thanks Richard for your video tell mama sue hello God bless you
Amen sir… amen.
