    I can't see how anyone would give your videos a thumbs down. Your knowledge, and explanation in your videos are second to none. Keep putting the steel to them my friend!!

      Because we are watching HIS videos instead of THEIR videos. Plus a handful of wackos who think sport fishing is evil/immoral

    • @fordguyfordguy
      @fordguyfordguy 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Easy. Every thumbs down is someone saying "I love this guy so much a simple thumbs up will not do!!!"

    • @Labyrnthdom
      @Labyrnthdom 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Because they are PETA want to be. That's why any outdoor videos from hunting to fishing always gets thumbs down retards. These people think that meat should be bought at the super market. Because they are oblivious to how that meat actually gets there. The only difference is they don't video it. And the outdoors videos or any videos that actually show the "the real world". Gets a dislike from these people with their head in the clouds looking at rainbows while sitting in their safe space bubble.

    For micro cranks I've found that removing the trebles and replacing only one with a single size 6 eagle claw true turn lazer sharp crappie hook on the tail with hook point up works well for getting into thick cover with less snags and it's easier when dealing with unhooking the fish. Have not noticed too bad of a sacrifice on the hookup ratio either. Thanks for all your vids Richard, You and Elmo are my kind of dudes!

      @billwalker4836 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      You're a kind person Tom Kelly. I moved up to Minnesota in 99 and the first thing I did was to buy a 7' and I don't know the specs on the rod cause they all wore off. Best way I could call it is light action. Fairly flimsy just a fantastic crappie stick. I only paid $17 closeout at Wally World I never been able to find another one like it either it's it's a Berkley Rod they don't make it anymore I wish I had two more just like it I'm really turned out to be my favorite fishing rod always fish 6-pound test on it would handle four easily I'm not much on 2lb test cuz I can't see that good anymore. Anyways that was really nice of you to take good care or Richard Gene like that.

      Bill Walker thank you Bill, I just love The Machine, anything I can do to support his awesome channel, I’m gonna do it!!! He’s taught me so much! I thought I was a good fisherman until I saw Richard. That man is a fishing Genius!

  • @drumking388
    @drumking388 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Richard, I have friends here on the Chickamauga reservoir that troll with cranks for crappie from time to time, but I don’t care for trolling. I had rather fish with a single pole in hand like you do. Back some 40 years ago when I first began to fish, I did troll crank baits like a swimming Minnow and would catch big crappie on Watts Bar lake. Thank you for your videos. I look for new ones everyday.

    Richard the way you shoot your videos make me feel like I am part of the fishing experience. No body makes a video like you do. You have brought the joy back that I had when I first started fishing as a kid. I listen closely to all your tips and ideals. Most videos highlight the fishermen, you allow us to be there with you in every fish you catch. You truly are the fishing machine .

    After digging those trebles out of that mesh net, I bet you don't forget your net anytime soon. After leaving my net at home a couple of times, I mounted a vertical rod holder on my center console, and that's where it stays all the time.

    I use my Eagle Claw Featherlight 3/4 7' fly rod to pull double duty doing ultralight finesse fishing just like this, great for whipping smaller roostertails upstream for them sweet Susquehanna smallies too, and even the 10-inchers feel like hawgs on it when they get piggin'n'diggin'!
