Is why I watch your channel. No fancy expensive electrics, no big fancy expensive boat, a working mans fishing channel. I do all my fishing from shore and you are one of the few fisherman I can actually relate to. I once used my father in-law paddle boat to catch one hell of a stringer of fish. He couldn't believe I caught them using his paddle boat when her sees guys with over a hundred thousand dollars invested in they fishing equipment not catching fish like I was.
That's the thing man ,I fish on a paddleboard and I'll watch people in their fancy glitter rockets just shoot across the lake every 5 seconds if they're not immediately catching anything , they get real frustrated after asking me if I've had any luck haha
Thank you for that story of how you made your own baits. When I was a kid, I learned most of what I knew about the outdoors from reading field and stream. My little brother and I didnt have any money to buy the things we saw in that magazine, so we cobbled together anything that vaguely resembled what we read about. Then as we grew and gained a lot of valuable experience, we learned exactly what you stated that brands were for making money and little more. One more quick story. A friend of mine who has passed away now and myself used to fish alot and he always used a rooster tail often and a few other old tried and true baits. One morning we were on the river and I pulled out the newest crappie lure I had bought. I held it up and ask him what he thought about my new super duper lure. He glanced at it, tied on his usual no frills age old bait and said "well, it already caught what it was supposed to". That was 25 years ago and I'm sure I'll never forget that little priceless piece of knowledge. Thanks for letting me come along with you and sharing those priceless little pieces of knowledge. God bless you.
No one puts up with you my friend your fishing wisdom and tips along with a hilarious persona is why I personally love watching you and not to mention your a good ole boy just like me and don't try to be something you're not keep it up my friend
I enjoy watching you have fun and teaching. Used to drift Kissimmee with cane poles and Missouri minnows with my dad. He loved crappie and we’d nearly always catch enough to freeze. I’m now 68 and sure wish I’d had more years with him - he died in 76.
Mr. Gene, you've got to be the most honest and down to earth fisherman on TH-cam! Your knowledge gave me the confidence to start my fishing channel. I'm talkin about, WOOOOO!!!!!!
Want to say thank you for having a clean fishing show without bad language and showing the details that you do on your show and also me and my 3 year old daughter watch your TH-cam before bed almost every night and she loves to fish and she tells me cuz it’s good for you lol thank you for what you do
Thank-you for your teaching us fisherman out here have learned a lot from the them watched most of them they are all great Thank-you once again we appreciate you...
RGTFM , I’ve been watching your videos for 3 years now and I really look forward to seeing a new adventure you put up. I love to crappie fish and I enjoy your any place, any time of year and with any bait attitude. In a crazy world you bring peace and tranquility. Thanks again for sharing
Im from The Netherlands, and we dont have Crappie overhere, but i sure enjoy these videos and the stories you tell Richard! You hit the spot, time and time again! You just dont need thousands of dollars to enjoy fishing and be successful. Keep em commin Richard!
Myself and my 5 year old son, Mack love watching your page and all that you bring to the sport. You're a real gem in the fishing world! I just put a letter in the mail to you on behalf of him. I'm sure you get plenty of fan mail, but I really hope you are able to read the letter. He idolizes you and had some kinds words to day. Hopefully you'll have time to read the letter, but understand if not. Again, thank you for all you go for this sport. You are a true ambassador of the sport and you are very appreciated!! Wes Waldrop Guntersville, Alabama
I love watching your vids ...... Your such an honest man .... I grew up on pine island in SW Florida ...... I've been watching you for months now ..... Thanks for your videos Richard !
Hey fans of Richard Gene The Fishing Machine. Let's bless Richard Gene and family this holiday season by committing to watch at least 4 commercials associated with his videos each time he submits a new video. I don't know Richard Gene or his family, but I know we, his subscribers have been blessed by his down to earth videos and fishing tips. Do a man a solid!
Absolutely love your videos. Been dying to catch some crappie. I’m up here in a part of the country where they aren’t very common. Your videos help me scratch the itch a little bit. Way to go fishin machine!!!
I’ve got the same rod that I use for trout fishing here in Pennsylvania. What I love about it is that it has metal eyelets. Y’all can never go wrong with metal eyelets!
Good morning Richard Gene! I was going to listen to worship music before church today, but decided to watch RGTFM instead, and saw the psalms word on your notes. Thank you! Have a good day!
Fashion your own bait. That's very resourceful Richard Gene! I've done that for years if I need to catch baitfish for catfishing. Cut a curly tail off one of my rubber worms if need to. Works every time! God bless you RG!
Thanks for keeping it simple Richard. Your videos are straight to the point, helpful and informative. You should look into some of your northern friends and catch some crappie through the ice! Looking forward to the next one.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I want to thank you, Going back many years ago one of the first fishing shows I've seen was Virgil Ward. And I enjoy your channel very much . I am a paralyzed veteran in a wheelchair. And not equipped to get on the water like I used too as I could as a kid. But I enjoy your channel very much keep it up.
You know Richard you said it just right when it comes to name brand this name brand that presentation presentation not being afraid to try what you got you keep catching a buddy we'll keep watching
You remind of my self when my dad died we caught fish for we would have something to eat in Michigan waters we could get enough to feed our family and friends 😇
I heard this morning that you and “ The Old Fisherman” May be going fishing together 😂. I’m looking forward to that video. You two have both become my favorite. You both have taught me a lot. Thank you for that ! Stay safe and “ God Bless “

When are you going to do a video on how to catch crappie fishing off of some of the public docks around your area? I am handicapped and can’t walk on the rip rap so I have to fish from the public docks around lake guntersville. When fishing from a boat I can only use a pontoon boat to fish on.
Thank you so much for your helpful videos! I always want to go fishing, and usually do, after I watch your videos. I love your character at the end of the videos. You are a hoot! Wooooo!!!
My husband think your an amazing fisherman! We wake up watching you on you tube and go to sleep watching your videos! 😁 We live in Albertville Alabama......, world or could I maybe talk you into taking him on the boat with you one day??? Please?? It would be a blessing and a dream come true for him!! Thank you so much for your videos and all the knowledge and talent you have given us! Really......., I am serious about you taking him fishing.......??

You are a hoot..god bless you man .i learn alot from your videos that will be passed on for generations . I catch crappie off a 2 inch curly tail i paid 7$ for a 100 no name and they wont even touch some name brands i throw the same depth or mixed up
Man I watch your videos and it look so easy, I be feeling like I’m gone catch 50 crappie. I even buy the lures you say, then I get out there and catch nothing. Man you’re the greatest, I just can’t grasp it
Great video Richard...I believe those jigs are the same ones I have...their called "panfish assassin"..bass assassin lures make them...I get them at Walmart...
Richard, You sir are enjoyable to watch and a wealth of knowledge. I really enjoy when you get Miss Sue laughing. Keep it up friend. GO DAWGS! Sorry, I had to do it Richard. Ben K. Fly fishing Machine.
Thank you for your honesty...........it's so refreshing to hear you say what you did about name brand products......I'm turned off when I click on a video and instead of hearing a fisherman, I hear a pitchman for some product.
