The reason this channel does so good is that Richard fishes in nothing but a basic rig whether boat or kayak. No mega buck tackle, fish finders, or three lure boxes full of anything and everything. Just fish sense and attention to details.
Michael Ferik it also helps that he knows his stuff and what, when and how to do it it every kind of water conditions Richard is a very knowledgeable man
The average, or below average where I'm concerned, guy can take what he learns from Richard and apply it right away without a 40k bass boat!! That's partially what drew me to his videos, I have a very similar aluminum boat to his Alweld. He's awesome, I love his videos!
One of your best shows. I don't have any insider connections but I did work in film and TV for 30 years and I can tell you that you just need to compile a best of series that has the best moments. It will be a treat for fans and a way for some network executive to get a good idea of why your show needs to be on their network.
I've been watching fishing shows since I was a kid watching Bill Dance. You are a true sportsman! You are the best promoter of fishing in the country. And you show all types, and you just have fun. So many youngsters think if you aren't shooting a 30 point buck or catching a 10 pound bass it isn't cool Love the way you enjoy even catching your bait! Very awesome! Above all else, thanks for sharing this!
Richard Gene, I'd say the reason folks like watching you is because you totally catch fish, but it's more of who and how you are. When you get all worked up with the Woooooo, or the Theeeeyyyy...it's just awesome! I'm a quiet type of guy but that's exactly how I feel when I hook up to a nice fish, I just keep those inside for some reason and you just put them out there for all to see and hear and it's just spectacular!
I love to see a fisherman that gets as excited about big bream as they do big bass! There’s something just essentially “right” about a day spent catching “bull” gill on simple light tackle!
anybody that still uses a mitchell reel has to be a good fisherman . when I was young we had the 300 when they wore out by another one for $9.00. it was salt water so they didn't last long .Brings back memories of years gone by.
Richard Gene, my wife and I surely appreciate all you do in showin us all you crappie tactics, and we always remember to go fishin when we can cause its good fer us!! God Bless Ya!!
It's because you're a good person gene. I don't say this about many youtubers out there lol Keep up the good work. I'm letting everyone I know about your fishing knowledge. I have a ton of respect for your channel.
Good to see you're still enjoying the vintage gear Richard! I find myself still reaching for a 50+ year old Abu reels every now and then. Appreciate the great video as always!
Do not be at all misled by the "Aw, shucks" portrayal here. This is one of the most informative fishing sites on TH-cam. Richard Gene really knows his stuff and his explanations are spot on. We all love to see people catch fish, but Richard's a literal teacher and he imparts meaningful information in an understandable manner. Every video I watch has some little tip that's different from similar videos and I love that.
Good catching! I have been fishing for Bluegill etc. for over 40 yrs. still catching the hell out of them and having a blast! Use many different baits and they all work well. Good fishing and eating.
Grown up on the Alabama river fished many places tombigbee waxahatchee etc. Around with my grandad chasing crappie my entire life it's nice to see someone sharing the old school secrets that many do t know about glad I found your channel I have been binge watching all your videos keep it up .... Roll Tide
Bought a kayak last year, love creek fishing for bass and panfish! Thanks for teaching us so much while enjoying time on the water! Sending thanks from Oklahoma!
Richard I love it that you got a kayak! I have been fishing with one for about 6 years now and I also have a boat. Kayaks open up a lot more places to fish in that you could not get to any other way. Love your channel and the way you show that fishing is more about knowledge and skill then it is about 80 thousand dollar bass boat and 100 thousand dollars in tackle.
One of my favorite video Richard catching all type of catfish with live or cut bait! Now I love bluegill or oarfish so this video is probably my favorite of them all! Very informative! Good job guy! Excellent!👍
U have tought me a lot about fishing that I didn’t know before and I just want to say thank u and keep on fishing because fishing can be very relaxing thank u Richard u are a cool dude
Thank you for making these videos and sharing them with all of us. I love to fish, but don't get to do it as much as I would like. You always make me laugh at some of the antics that you do. I used to have a fishing and hunting buddy that was like Elmo, but Jesus called him home 10 years ago. I sure do miss him, but your videos kind of make the old memories come back. Keep on catching all those fish and making people happy.
I love the intensity you bring to the sport. weve been trying to fish for catfish here in Missouri and the areas closet to us mainly only have the channel catfish and not the blues that I prefer up at Truman lake were going there soon but we've been getting into some huge channel catfish for us and you are acually due the credit for getting us back into the fishing together and I sent him some links to the videos of yours and it lit a fire under him also and we have been fishing every day he can get off were trying to get some good knowledge from you passing it down to us and we are picking up some of it and adjusting trying to find bigger and more fish and you are a very good mannored person that delivers easily humongous knowledge that is very appreciated and I think you sir for letting us know about the things that you have learned during your hard work out in the waters. But I personally enjoy the videos of the different catfish species and learning how to find out where the different types of fish will be in different styles of lake's were hoping to get on the flathead and blue's and not only the channel catfish keep the videos coming maybe we can do it with your help thanks again my friend from the other lake around the corner lol
If you install an Anchor Trolly on that kayak you can anchor off the front and it will keep in position. I point the front end toward where I'm going to fish and it holds me in place once I locate a good fishing spot. With an Anchor Trolly you anchor off the front or back while sitting, this is especially helpful on breezy days. I had a problem with drifting and had to paddle to reposition and in doing so I would spook fish. Those kayaks are so light it takes the slightness little breeze to get you off position. And as always go fishin when ya can cause it's good fur ya!!!
It's great to see Richard kayak fishing. He got me into fishing, and I've been using my kayak for it. I just caught my first yellow perch, blue gill and large mouth, and you know what? Elmo was right.
Absolutely enjoy your fishin! Really like the kayak fishin too, I have a bay boat and a kayak and like the yak just as much as the boat, so quiet out there in the yak and do catch fish in it! A TIP, when getting in or out of your kayak, have it parallel to the back, so when u step in it it bottoms out and is stabil! Then when u set, just lean or rock towards the river or lake using the paddle and push off!!!! Much easier gettin in and out!
Love the way you teach! Real, no fluff, good facts and great engagement with the audience! I will share with you what we call those big bluegill....not being crass...”Titty” bream...so big you have to pin them to your chest to hold them and get the hook out! Really great video. Yes on the kayak!!!
RG you could tie on about 4 or 5 of them big Sunnies and you wouldn't need a paddle course one the big old Georgia catfish come up and grab your bluegill your get back to the dock really fast....must feel pretty good to know that you are liked. Keep up the good work and God Bless ya...you and Elmo and Ms Sue too
Loving your kayak videos keep them rolling and those bluegill were awesome you are my favorite fisherman the best learned a lot by watching your videos.....look forward to the next adventure.....
Richard, what a great channel! I love to fish aswell and have just gotten in to kayak fishing, there's nothing like it! Keep up the great content and there is no telling how many followers you will end up with!
Richard, get a retractable dog leash and an 18 piece of large galvanized chain to run through your front or back handle and it will serve as a drag anchor to hold you in a fishing area, pull it in when you are ready to move. helps in current or wind.
Hey Richard I'm a new subscriber ,and I just wanted to say I think your great and that you keep it simple ,I'm a simple man and I appreciate you God bless and keep em coming ,I surely will be watching.
Much respect RG. Hey, Woodrow, next door in the trailer park comes over and we watch you fish on the plasma TV. He said Elmo’s corn bread ain’t done in the middle. Wooo.
Great video Mr.gene I've been watching your TH-cam channel for sometime now and I want to say thank you for teaching me some tricks to catching fish thank you again and remember go fishing when you can because it's good for ya
I love fishing and came across one of your videos in the “recommended” section of TH-cam. I checked it out and been hooked ever since. Keep the videos coming!
Richard you might need to give Elmo something to keep him calm while he’s in your kayakeo or y’all will be in drinkeo LoL!!! Love your videos keep them coming. Glad to see you back out in your new kayak. A inexpensive drift sock helps tremendously.
We're gonna get ya standin up on that thing one of these days! Love ya man. You've inspired me to get back into fishin'. Just finished loading my canoe on the pickup. Goin out @ 1st light.
The reason this channel does so good is that Richard fishes in nothing but a basic rig whether boat or kayak. No mega buck tackle, fish finders, or three lure boxes full of anything and everything. Just fish sense and attention to details.

Michael Ferik and he doesn’t flash his lures
Where can i get some of them small feathertail jigs
You know what else is good for ya? Watching your videos. Nuff said.
No bs fishing that’s what I like. Fishing is fishing, meant to be simple.
Been waiting on Richard gene all day. Hope to see many more kayak videos
One of your best shows. I don't have any insider connections but I did work in film and TV for 30 years and I can tell you that you just need to compile a best of series that has the best moments.

Great video as always, you know what you have 84K subscribers, because you have the best fishing channel on youtube!

One of best fishing/teaching channels on the internet!!!
He makes it look so easy !!!!! Love it
anybody that still uses a mitchell reel has to be a good fisherman . when I was young we had the 300 when they wore out by another one for $9.00. it was salt water so they didn't last long .Brings back memories of years gone by.
Rick Hale I still have one..I only use it in freshwater though. Sometimes I’m tempted to take it to the saltwater, but I fight that temptation
Still have a Mitchell. Still use it.
Looks like you found some pretty fancy Kayak footwear Elmo. Have fun and stay safe.
Richard Gene, my wife and I surely appreciate all you do in showin us all you crappie tactics, and we always remember to go fishin when we can cause its good fer us!! God Bless Ya!!
Your next T-shirt print should be you holding a crappie or bluegill with the caption "see how he's peein"
Richard, the camera image is outstanding. So much fun watching you tear those bluegill up. Thanks again for sharing.
It's because you're a good person gene. I don't say this about many youtubers out there lol Keep up the good work. I'm letting everyone I know about your fishing knowledge. I have a ton of respect for your channel.
You are really blessed to have so many wonderful places to go fishing at.

Thank you, too, Richard!
That's time well spent, look into a anchor and trolley for yer kayak, game changer man
You need a stake out pole.

Great day on the water. Love the kayak videos. Take care .

Congrats on the 84K subs. I just subscribed. Those bluegill really made me hungry. Have a great day.
When I started looking for fishing channels to watch I couldn't believe I found a channel this good and from someone who lives in the same area as me.
Another great video love the sound of your old reel
Oh, bought myself a Kayakeo yesterday...thanks for all the smiles and for sharing your insights...very much !
If you install an Anchor Trolly on that kayak you can anchor off the front and it will keep in position.

Then when u set, just lean or rock towards the river or lake using the paddle and push off!!!! Much easier gettin in and out!
Kayak fishing is so much fun, getting way back in shallow creeks to deeper holes and such.
You are by far the best fisherman i've ever seen!
Love the way you teach! Real, no fluff, good facts and great engagement with the audience! I will share with you what we call those big bluegill....not being crass...”Titty” bream...so big you have to pin them to your chest to hold them and get the hook out! Really great video. Yes on the kayak!!!
Keep the videos coming! God bless ya brother.
Good old Mitchell reel and pullin in the slabs!! That is one damn fine way to spend a day.
I tell ya he is the best fisherman I know.
His non-arrogant attitude takes the cake here also...unlike bunch of so called
'pro' out there.
Richard, your a good feller and you've made a lot of friends!
Liked the video of kayaking for bedding blue gills,you're awesome friend.
RG you could tie on about 4 or 5 of them big Sunnies and you wouldn't need a paddle course one the big old Georgia catfish come up and grab your bluegill your get back to the dock really fast....must feel pretty good to know that you are liked. Keep up the good work and God Bless ya...you and Elmo and Ms Sue too

Hey Richard! Love your channel! Really appreciate your knowledge and the laughs. Hey, you need to make a video latching on to a flathead in the kayak!
This guy reminds me of my Pop. That old gear he has is exactly like the stuff he uses a Mitchell 300. They all sound exactly the same. Great job
Much respect RG. Hey, Woodrow, next door in the trailer park comes over and we watch you fish on the plasma TV. He said Elmo’s corn bread ain’t done in the middle. Wooo.
Please post more fishing videos!!!! I could watch all day!!!!
