Hey Richard just a shout out from a North Carolina country boy! My son Lucas is 11 and new to fishing. You have been an inspiration to me! Me and my sons mom are divorced and my time with my son is limited but thanks to you, and my sons subscribing to your channel by my recommendation, he can learn old school fishing like my father and grandfathers taught me! We are closer now because of your channel!👍👏
Richard, I’ve seen a lot of fishing videos where people make a huge production of throwing a casting net, but you just grab it and throw, and still fill it with bait fish. I guess that’s the difference between showmanship, and honest, down to earth fishing. Thanks so much for what you do.
Richard- I live in Florida and watch all of your videos over and over. You are a good teacher and I learn from you. Can you please show step by step how you throw your cast net. I am older and have always thrown my net from my teeth. It takes me time to reload. Also is finding shad like locating Mullet. Look for a flash. Any advice for freshwater bait will be helpful. Our ocean is failing us because of bad management so I am switching to fresh water where there is still a fish. P.S. The red tide is all the way up to Tampa Bay your old fishing hole. We are crying. J/T
Richard you are the best fishing channel I have ever watched. Informative and you explain things so anyone can understand it..even Elmo. God bless and keep doing what you're doing.
You, Sir, are sum kind of nut!!! No wonder I like you-you remind me of somebody else that I know-Me!!! Seriously, though, I love your videos, and I'm glad & proud to be a subscriber of yours. Great video, and God bless you and your family! P. S.-Y'all watch out fer them thar Gar-They'll definitely put the bite on ya, if you ain't careful!
I really appreciate you Richard you have the best fishing channel on TH-cam no frills just a straight up good humored fisherman who enjoys teaching other people secrets to improve their skills we need more people like you in this world keep em coming ELMOOO!!!
I eatem to I like to eat them when they are warm just like chicken breast, most people just kill the Gar and leave them to rot, but if you're fishing to eat he's on the menu, the meat is good to fish with, but if you hold the meat to long it gets mushy
While i appreciate jon b and other youtubers like him you are in a league of your own because realistically you are the epitome of a great fisherman old school to the bone and young guys like me can learn a lot from you
The ones that do dislike his videos must be a bunch of wimpy little crybabies that wouldn't last 3 minutes in Richard Gene's world! Hooray for Richard Gene!!!
Red nose just means they’ve beat themselves up in the bucket or a square livewell without good circulation. They won’t be as lively as a fresh bait but if it’s all you have they catch fish almost as well
You popped into my mind today while I was working. I thought, that Richard Gene is by far my favorite TH-camr and I have been watching a lot of them. Always something to learn all while being entertained. Thanks for all you do!
That's one thing I hate about some videos. You can't seem to go more than about 4-5 minutes without a bunch of ads that you don't even need thrown right in the middle of the video! Then, you have to wait...and wait...and wait some more! It's pathetic! Thankfully, Richard Gene doesn't do that to you. If I see an ad with anything more than a minute or so, usually, I'll skip the ad(s), & go right back to the video. Yosemite Sam used to have that saying:"I hates rabbits"! I myself have a saying that many people feel like expressing:"I hates commercials"!!!
Me and the boy (5year old ) love watching ya. Then applying some of your technique. Getting into fall and have got into a mess of crappie In awhile. Northern Indiana -Scott
Richard Gene, was that an Alabama Maple flavored Fish Stick? LOL Those Coossa Spots ARE FUN. Caught a few of those myself,back in the day. Another good one. Gar,Catfish ,Coossa Spots AND FISH STICKS...GOOOOOD FER YA, I RECKON!
Keep it up richard!! All these other guys on TH-cam keep selling out. I use to watch millican fishing. But he gotten like all the others. Keep it simple and keep it real!!
You're teaching me to ID spotted bass, Richard. When you said "It's just a big, river largemouth." I thought, "That looked like a spot to me." I'm living proof you're doing an awesome job here, Richard. I can now ID a Coosa River spotted bass on the fly and, to be honest, I enjoy that thought a lot. :) Thank you again for another installment of the best fishing channel on TH-cam. We like going with you.
Richard Gene I love your videos, Here in AZ its good fishing lots of rocks and moss though especially in urban lakes and ponds. I tell you what I'm gonna try Crappie fishing here in Tempe townlake and see what happens.
Thanks Richard, I fish out of a Solo skiff and kayaks. You have to wear a life jacket. It doesn't matter how good you think you can swim. If you fall in and your leg gets caught in a brush pile. You are done. That is one thing I will pass on. You reach a lot of people and I'm glad you brought that up.
Hello Richard and ELLLMOOO!! i I just was wondering are black bass, stripe, large mouth, spotted, good to eat? love ALL the videos and helpful info Richard thank you very much!!
I've probably watched every video you've posted and I still enjoy watching them over and over.
Nobody on TH-cam or television fishes for most all species using different methods. My favorite channel by far.

You rule dude! Whoo. Whoo!
You're the best
You are awsome(woooo). The family and I love your vids.
I love gar fishing
Great video sir.
Good editing on this channel

we eat them up north too in maryland.. should try it. that was a good size to eat.
You should invite Roland Martin to go fishing with you sometimes... That would be a lot of fun to see

Great video Mr Richard!! What’s the biggest Spot you’ve ever caught?
In Michigan we have large mouth bass & small mouth. Your spotted bass looks like a mix between both of ours.
The best fishing channel
You are just plainly a blessed man. Catching the fish you catch and teaching folks the way you do.
Ok where do I get that bucket with all dem holes!???
He caught a tree pounder (11:45)
thanks
Kinda looks like etowah county...?
Great video as always.
That fight is why I prefer catfish over bass fishing. If I was trying to fish for bass I'd keep the dead shad for catfishing later.
Thank you for not shoving googan down our throats Richard. They’re an alright brand but I’m just sick of seeing them everywhere. Best fishing channel
thx again for the show
As usual, catch yall on my next lunch break 🤝👋
Richard Gene is definitely the fishing machine
I really appreciate you Richard you have the best fishing channel on TH-cam no frills just a straight up good humored fisherman who enjoys teaching other people secrets to improve their skills we need more people like you in this world keep em coming ELMOOO!!!
11:42 that is seriously me every time i cast. i land in the tree or get stuck on somethin on the bottom 😂
I eatem to I like to eat them when they are warm just like chicken breast, most people just kill the Gar and leave them to rot, but if you're fishing to eat he's on the menu, the meat is good to fish with, but if you hold the meat to long it gets mushy
Love this Cat...
Richard, you and Elmo have got the best fishing channel that I have ever found on TH-cam! Hands down! Thank you sir!
Richero another nice video, God bless
While i appreciate jon b and other youtubers like him you are in a league of your own because realistically you are the epitome of a great fisherman old school to the bone and young guys like me can learn a lot from you
liljoker123456 I’ve learned more from Richard gene than I have from watching th googan guys
The younger guys are all too serious.
That was a beautiful spotted bass!
Great video Elmo 👍👍👍👍
How can anyone dislike any of his videos? I enjoy every single one. Best TH-cam fishing channel. Thank you Richard Gene!
The ones that do dislike his videos must be a bunch of wimpy little crybabies that wouldn't last 3 minutes in Richard Gene's world! Hooray for Richard Gene!!!
Best way to eat gar in Louisiana is to grill it on a cedar plank... Throw away the fish and eat the plank.
Great video. Luv the channel. Happy Fishing!!!
Red nose just means they’ve beat themselves up in the bucket or a square livewell without good circulation. They won’t be as lively as a fresh bait but if it’s all you have they catch fish almost as well
Life don’t get no gooder than being outdoors!
Awesome! 😀
What size throw net do you suggest for a beginner?
Few things in life are more aggravating than gar.
👍 Yep!
Gene, do you ever go out and not find the shad?
You popped into my mind today while I was working. I thought, that Richard Gene is by far my favorite TH-camr and I have been watching a lot of them. Always something to learn all while being entertained. Thanks for all you do!
Will small mouth, large mouth & spotted bass cross?
My home water
What kind of rod is the camouflage one that I seen in your boat
Hey Richard what kind of boat is this in the video and what length is it thanks
That river is loaded🤪 😎
I’m on my way to lake Lavon in TX. Because It’s good for me!!!
Great Lake, love it myself
This show needs to be on regular TV
What does it mean when the shad get a red nose?
Thank you Mr. Richard, watching Bama play now. Roll tide!!
I want you to know that I am really enjoying your videos.
Catfish muscular ability makes the meat so firm and 😋 tasty. Don’t git no betta!
What kind of boat is that?
Gar back strap is better than chicken 🐔 🤷
I've seen shad that get the 'red nose' but never knew that was a sign to let 'em go. And great call on the life jacket. Safety first brother!
Tree fish ?
That’s a wood bass !
Best fishing channel on TH-cam. Gene is more on fishing than throwing ads and products advertisement in your face.
No doubt
Thank u Gene for all the info and knowledge!!
Amen!
That's one thing I hate about some videos. You can't seem to go more than about 4-5 minutes without a bunch of ads that you don't even need thrown right in the middle of the video!

They will continue to get bigger and bigger until you decide to clean and cook 'em.

Looks really peaceful and relaxing. That's living the good life.
you could put out a video every day, and It still wouldn't be enough... best channel on TH-cam...thanks for sharing brother
Lots of experience, Richard makes it looks so easy. It isn’t!
Indiana here.. i fish Monroe lake in bloomington all the time.. great vlog .. stay safe...
Haha yeah! From Paoli, Small 🌎!
Those spotted bass are something else. They fight like a small mouth.
Great job with those Shad
Richard Gene I love your videos, Here in AZ its good fishing lots of rocks and moss though especially in urban lakes and ponds. I tell you what I'm gonna try Crappie fishing here in Tempe townlake and see what happens.
You the man Richard! I fish in those same places.
Where’s Elmo?
Thanks Richard, I fish out of a Solo skiff and kayaks. You have to wear a life jacket. It doesn't matter how good you think you can swim. If you fall in and your leg gets caught in a brush pile. You are done. That is one thing I will pass on. You reach a lot of people and I'm glad you brought that up.
you forget your balloons?
Great video! Go Bucks!
Thumbs up if you want to see a big carp fishing video from Richard!
