GOD BLESS AND THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!
Hi Richard, Bluegill and Red-Ears, I started fishing them when I was about eight years old and thought there was nothing I could ever like better. I was wrong now over sixty years later there is nothing better than seeing the smile and excitement on my granddaughter's face when she catches them!
Robert Cronin Awesome, glad you could share that amazing experience with your granddaughter.
Got in to the hobby late (in my 20's) and I'll have a ball on the water like a kid. Love seeing people have the chance to pass the hobby on!
My grandparents taught me everything they knew about fishing and I’m ever grateful for why they did! Keep on fishing with your grandkids they will remember it forever!
I started fishing for them bluegill at 5 so when I have kids their gonna be bluegill kings and nice job Robert
"It's a rough world out here. Let's make a cast." Absolutely the motto of my life. God bless you sir, you are the next best thing to Bill Dance. You help me love fishing even more and very educational. Thank you again.
Bill Dance is a repeat. Fishing his same pond over and over catching those huge bass. I could go there and catch them with a hook and sinker. Plus he likes to play with the fish too much, trying to get them to jump again when they should have been in the boat 5 minutes ago. Richard Gene pits Bill Dance to shame!
Yes-sir, life is rough. Hand me another one of them RCs while I get this fish in. Thank ya. Lol.
I would put Ol Richard up against any of them. He’s hard to beat when it comes to fishin.
He is the real deal and has as great and genuine personality. I’ve enjoyed watching different ones over the years but he is my favorite.
Just the right size to catch and release into Lake Crisco.
Bingo
That's my favorite comment of all time on TH-cam😎
Yep add some morels and that is my favorite meal. Oh and a couple crappie thrown in. Mmmmmmm. Mmmmmmmm.😀😀😀 I love spring.
😂😂
This is THE funniest thing I’ve read all day!!!!!! I have to tell my husband about this one!
Tell you what, there are a lot of fishing channels on TH-cam, but you Mr. Richard tips the cake. Love all the videos, You are so informative about the stuff you do. I just found this channel, I subscribed and have done nothing but watch your fishing videos. Keep up the awesome work, I live over in Mississippi would love to catch up with you one day.
By far the best angler on youtube. Even better than the "3 legends" I believe.
Hey Richard I just wanted to say that you are my favorite fishing TH-camr and your videos are so inspirational and entertaining , keep up the good work
I love your videos, they are so informative. From the type of gear, to line size, techniques, type of bait, weight, etc, etc...! No body else does what you do and I appreciate it a lot! I don’t understand how anybody can give your videos a 👎?! Keep doing what you do best Mr. Richard Gene The Crappie fishing Machine; and most importantly, God bless!
You know Richard, one of the reasons I like watching your channel is that when you catch a fish you actually let it fight for a bit and don't rush it. These bass fishers catch and reel like there is no tomorrow. Anywhere from 3-8 lbs. and beautiful fish and fighting like a gangster to get off the hook. They try to beat the land speed record for reeling it in. I just don't get it. But your my style fisherman and my favorite.
You are a beast sir Richard, how an in the world are you able to find these blue gill beds so easy, are you naturally just eye balling them or is it that your just using a fish finder?
" that's all there are to it " Richard Gene is The Fishing Machine!
caught 56 in an evening all as big as your hand. Friend went back out and caught 104! Red worm and a trout float wore them out! These fish pretty often spawn where the were spawned. Mark your calenders when you find the spot. You'll have 2weeks + or - to catch the mature shell crackers before they disperse. Dumber than crappie but taste just as good 👍
I'm a North Carolinian so it a little different around my lakes however we caught them5 -7 ft 10-20ft off the bank around a fallen tree catch and release insurers that we can check or spot next year for shell crackers(and a few super size brim) i caught the biggest shell cracker weighing 1.4 lbs 12.25 in long. I believe there are many factors in fishing let alone spawning barometric pressure lunar phase temperature wind and level of the thermocline all play major factors the key is to get out there "and go fishing when you can because it's good for ya "👍 put in the time and figure out what works and when it works
I was headed to TH-cam to see if you had a new video when this popped up! Yay!!!!
Mr Richard, you brought back some memories when you said fly rod. It does not get any better catching those big bluegills on a popping bug. My uncle, who turns 84 this year, still goes after them every year with his fly rod and poppers. Nothing like seeing and hearing those big bream sucking down those poppers by these cypress knees here in NW MS. I’m going after them in the morning with this full moon. Stay safe and God Bless you and Mama Sue.
Joe in MS
Nothing gets me hyped up to go fishing this Saturday morning quite like the Richard Gene The Fishing Machine "Woo........ WOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOO". Can't wait!
Fuego is Spanish for fire, pronounced "fwaygo". Richard, my 10 year old nephew and I are huge fans! You sir are an inspiration and a treasure! Keep up the good work!
Folks, it’s the MACHINE doing what he does best and sharing and teaching along the way!! Another great video!! God Bless and thank you so much for what u do!!
Do yall get sad when the video bout to end I can watch the machine fish all day lol
Yes!
Oh wow Im laid up recovering and if I dont watch Richard gene the machine those withdrawals kick in..no pun intended..🙃🎣🤘
I get sad when fat bluegill and shellcrackers get released instead of eaten.
He has a ton of videos...should go catch another one...
@@psychodad4634 I don't. There is a lake I go to, but they have meat grubs so bad you dont want to eat them. All the big mature fish are loaded with them. Horrible. But they are super fun to catch and great for my husband to catch and keep him busy so he doesn't get bored.
the video has been up for about 10 minutes. 760 views, 98 likes and some old sore head has given it a thumbs down. some peoples children are just contrary. Great video Mr. Richard, keep'um coming.
Its likely mostly the same jealousy ridden fools because average number of dislikes stays pretty same..idk each their own but I can't even understand someone wanting to click the down button on the machine..dont figure to me at all.
Hay rich. Did the same thing today for a buddy. He's 28 and has never caught and cooked his own fish before today. He was liking the sport before today. A new angler only been out 5 trips before today. All with me. His first bite of a food 8" bluegill and he's now hooked for life. As you've said dishing is a sport second to none. Fish on my friend.👌👍😊❤
RICH youll never know how much the endings to your videos make my day after watching you fish. lolol hilarious character skits in between too. lmao
I’m a newbee to the channel. Love!!! Very comical. I live on the GulfCoast of MS and we do lots of fishing here. I’ve fished for 42 years, fresh and salt water. Just love the sport. Been doing a lot of crappie and bream fishing lately in a friends pond and lake. Great tips from Richard. Good job!! Well Done. Love your acknowledgment to The Good Lord! He’s the One who made fish for our enjoyment to catch.
Never really targeted crappie before. Mostly largemouth, catfish and blue gill. Watching your vids has inspired me to start chasing the thump! Love the videos and all the great info you provide. Whoo
i agree! Before I started watching Richard, when i would (accidentally) catch a blue gill while fishing for bass, it was almost an annoyance. He made me appreciate all fish that happen upon my hook, and now I actually target them when the bass aren't cooperating.
I reminisce to my teenage years where i would be on the lake with my pop and brothers fishing for panfish. Oh, how impatient i would be and would just want to catch some major game fish for the simple thrill of the fight. Nowadays, all i want to do is sit at the edge of a nice quiet lake and reel in a few bluegills or crappies and enjoy the scenery in the process. Too busy working and not enough enjoying anything nowadays. God bless sir. Love the videos. Keep em coming.
-from a guy who wishes he was in the midwest outdoors.
Another great video loaded with lots of fishing tips and angler skills. Richard, you are not only a fishing machine, but also a professor who teaches with great enthusiasm. Keep on doing what you do.
great video, thaxs Richard keep up the great work. iam learning a lot from you it helps me take out my grand kids fishing. make me look like i know what iam doing thank you
That first gill I pictured in between 2 pieces of bread, some onions and... wooooo
Thoroughly enjoy your fishing videos.58 years of bluegill and shellcracker fishing but I always learn something new from your videos.keep up your good work and go fishing when you can,cause its good fer ya and us!
Richard my friend.... you are a master at fishing!!! Cast catch, recast catch, cast again catch again. Bravo my friend.
Caught over 100 today with my dad using crickets and a float here on a river in Tuscaloosa. The wind was blowing 30-40 mph gusts, but it wasn’t bothering the bluegill! Still a fun little fish to catch. RTRRGTFM!
Man this guy just brings it to you so simple with comedy too. How he doesn’t have more followers is behind me but I’m sure he could care less. Thank you sir!
156k subscribers and everybody loves Richard Gene. My gf loves it when I do his impressions. She told me yesterday I guess he will be a part of our life forever. Lol. I just said yep.
I have learned more from you about catching bluegill and I ever have in my life. I look forward to all your videos. I have actually found some places that I can fish off the bank and catch some nice bluegill and Shellcracker. Thank you.
I use a 7ft rod from the bank with wax worms. Bluegill is probably my favorite, nonstop action and my favorite to eat.
Love the videos! My 7 year old boy wonders why we don't catch as many fish as you. Thanks for the content!
Richard you need to be cable tv on the weekends on the outdoor channel. Thanks for the content. Love the videos and ive learned so much off you. Thanks again
By far the best fisherman I Luv to Watch. Make it seem so easy and always humble and forgiving. I like the way he pauses to explain what he's using, why and usually gives a good shot of the gear. Two thumbs up and Bravo-Zulu. But that other Fellar, I just don't know about.
Thank you for always putting a smile on my face & making me laugh. God bless you & fish on!
I enjoy watching Richards videos because he is one of the only fishing TH-camrs that still put a big focus on the educational part of this
Mr Richard love your channnel bluegill and crappie are all I fish for. Your reaction at 5:30 is what we fisherman live for !! Keep the content coming
I went fishing after 2 hours not a Bite. Started looking at one of your crappie videos and it happened. Birds flew over my head, 2 carp started pushing my boat and a group of catch fish appeared with a sign pointing to a point on the lake..........Caught 15 slab crappie!!! THANKS!!!
I am so amazed there isn’t 10 boats anchored up trying their best to fill up every bucket in their boat. Great to see just you Mr. Richard.
I tell you what... Out of all the other guys doing fishing videos you are really my favorite. I'm hooked
Yessss I've missed you Richard!!! I hope you are well!!!
Hey Richard, since this Covid virus has got us all @ home I have been watching a lot of your vids to help pass the time and maybe learn something new from brother Fisherman...Keep up the great work, I find @least one thing I can apply from each video you make to the fishing I do on The Potomac River in Maryland. All hands on Deck Woo !
The GOAT! Thank you Richard for the time you put in to help other fisherman. Your tactics have helped me more than you can imagine bud.
Wish there were more people out there like you. You are one of a kind. Love your videos. From one fishing brother to another, whooooo
U sir are my fishing guru. I appreciate you and the knowledge that you give. Much love from Michigan
Some of the prettyist and best tasting fish ever!!
Woow.. that teal, orange and green panfish was gorgeous..
Hey Richard, just wanna let you know I appreciate all the great educational content on fishing here in north Alabama. I fish on the Coosa river and Guntersville quite a bit. And I have learned a lot of new techniques by watching your channel. Hive me a holler when you want a fishing buddy one day. Cause you know Old Elmo ain't never able to go with you. Lol
You are truely one of a kind Richard.God bless ya buddy.
His excitement keeps me watching every time and he is very good at explaining what he is doing
Hello Richard, nice to see you again and that you are well All the videos I have been watching haven’t been current. I enjoy watching and learning from you. Thank You
I really like his positiveity
you know what's ur the reason I've been following you is you are like an everyday fisherman just like an everyday working man I love your videos I love what you dokeep doing it I think your channel is awesome take care and God bless
Use them gills for big flat head lol you crack me up brother
During the trying times we are in it's great to see someone spreading some joy. God bless you sir.
In Arkansas we call shellcrackers - chickepins, I have no ideal why.
What a beautiful place to spend the morning
Very awesome video Mr Richard. I love catching panfish too. Its a great time to get em. Tight lines sir. Keep up the great work. One of my favorite fishing youtubers of all time!!!
Thank Richard. I get lots of huge bluegill. In Florida using your methods.
I wish you lived next door to me. I'd maintain your boat, mow your yard and wash your car just to get to go fishing with you.
Todd Knox facts
Haha me to
Great inspiration Richard Gene! Heading to West Boggs Lake in southern Indiana tomorrow for some crappie and bluegill. Hope to have the same luck as you. Love your channel and God Bless!
micro lure...mimics a bug. Green grasshoppers & red worms do great for bream in my area. I have an interest in that technic, tho. THNX! 1 of my
best bream catches I did as a prank; ran in the woods, found a spider, dropped it off the bank on a hook & held line in my fingers! WHAM, keeper
bluegill! among the biggest we caught that day, haha...WOOOooo!
I can smell bluegills on the bed. I love that smell. That might sound weird to some people. I've had giant bull bluegills hit a full size Zara spook and get hooked and caugh on it. Some of them get so aggressive when they spawn.
Oliver McKinley I’ve heard about smelling a bed. What is the smell?
@@psychodad4634 it's like a deep fishy smell. You have probably gone fishing around this time of year and thought 'man, I can smell the fish'....that's them. You'll normally smell them in good water thats 2 to 4 feet deep. They bed a little deeper than most fish. Best of luck!
Love catching pan fish with a light weight fly rod and a top water popper.
I agree. If say a 15 pound cat pulled as hard as a bluegill or shellcracker pound for pound we'd need deep sea gear to gain any ground whatsoever.
As also go fishing when u can cuz it's goooooood fir ya! Thanks so much Mr. Machine.
Yes. Been waiting for a bluegill video! Thanks and God bless! Keep up the great work!
You definitely should do a fly rod video!! I’d tie you up some flies to get on ‘em! 🎣
For those bluegills, you cannot beat a top water popping bug.
I shouldn't have sold my fly rod but I used the money to meet my lovely girlfriend who moved in with me a few months ago :)
You are the man Richard! Keep catching those bluegills and shellcrackers. Great to watch these videos!
Sir it is so gorgeous where you are... it's amazing how things in nature and nature itself can do what they are able to with less people interrupting..
Hey richard new member here love your videos. Me and my nephew fish very often. We live in calhoun georgia and are very grateful for all the tips you put out we are definitely putting them to good use.
You versus Jimmy Houston is a pay per view. Whewwww thats must see tv
Now I've caught many hybrids of sunfish before, but the coolest one I've caught was a cross between a green sunfish and a redear sunfish. Big mouth of a green sunfish, but the spots and striping of a shellcracker and green. Pretty fish. Even had the bright red "ear" on its gill flap.
I tell ya, Great teacher and very knowledgeable... I absolutely love these Videos especially the ending.. "And remember go fishing when you can, Cause its good for ya"..
You have yourself a new sub to your channel. I really like watching your videos when I get home at night after work. You can't bet getting on a spot loaded with pan fish, especially if your getting the little ones into fishing, pretty much 100% they will catch.
Thank you for helping me become a better and more respectable fisherman, Mr. Richard Gene Wooooooo! The fishing machine!
well. so much for workin this afternoon.
Please come to West Point Lake near LaGrange Ga. snd see if you can find dome fish.
I've enjoyed watching your videos Richard. Terrific fishing information.
God bless you Richard Gene, brought crappie fishing into my life.
Thank you for this video sir! It reminds me of our yearly trips to the Appomattox River in Virginia. We catch a hundred tiny panfish using beetle spins, one after another, running them thru honey holes and behind rocks and fallen timber. Ahhh...can't wait to go back!!
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Also, Kayak fly fishing for bluegill is my favorite! 👍
Thank you Richard Gene for another exciting fishing journey!! I always enjoy watching your channel!!😁
I have had fun getting them with tiny topwater mini poppers when they are on beds.
well good morning richard thank you for the awesome videos as always
You DA man Gene hope you get rich off your videos because you should get paid for all the knowledge you teach us
Give this man a show
Went out today with the kid. Water is too cold yet here in WI, but the gills are starting to cruise the shallows. Cold front coming, so the fishing will be delayed again. Managed to catch a large mouth bass though and yes, I had the fly rod out too. Gonna be another couple of weeks for the crappies, wooo! Couple of years and I'm moving that way so I can fish out of my boat all year round.
Sick of northern winters!!!
You caught some nice blue gills. I fish at lake Eufaula to the south of you. The shellcracker were on the beds a couple of weeks ago. Some of the biggest l ever seen. I used the giant red worms and fished 3 to 5 feet of water. I used a slip cork with a knotted line tied above the cork on a ultra light rod and reel using 6 pound Cajun line. I was dragging the bottom to get them. Size 6 hook with a small split shot led 5 inches above with a bead above the lead. We caught the limit
Richard, I love it when you are fishing for Shelldaddies and Bluedaddies. Thank you!!! Jim
I hope you will see this. I am coming back from a long illness. I’m walking again. I can’t go fishing yet. But I have been going fishing with you and having a great time! Woo! They! Thank you, Richard. God bless you. Jim
Panfish are the most fun fish in my opinion
so much fun and such good eating
Richard I love watching your videos! You have helped me in my pursuit of becoming a better fisherwoman.
Fuego= "fway-go"
It's Spanish for fire. Love the videos!!
Love the excitement haha. Actually reminded me of my own dad when we go fishin. Catch or not it's always a blast. Liking your videos!
I should be sleeping but I just love watching you fish! Gets me so excited for my next fishing trip. Love it! Whoo!
Your fishing is incredible, congratulations on your fishing equipment is very good, this place is beautiful and has big fish.👍🎣🐠😉
Woo! Woo! I've got relatives who live on a boat at Guntersville. Some day soon I've got to meet you. I've been watching for quite a while and can't wait until the next episode comes out.
Hey Richard. That's a lot of fun...and great to keep my kids interested! Was curious if you like to fillet or cut'em and gut'em and throw it in a pan. We're fixing to harvest a bunch of mongo green gills out of our pond so was curious.
Another great show.
