Howdy Folks!! I hope you enjoy the video. I would like to Thank Jeff for sending me the jigs used in the video. I would also like to thank each and everyone of you for watching! I would also like to know what would you like to see more of on the channel? or what would you like to see on the channel that I haven't done? Thank you all for being apart of the channel, it means a lot to me! God bless!
Hey Richard Gene,how bout a stream wading video where you catch your own grampus’s (hellgrammites) and fish for smallmouth,rock bass,etc. I love to that up here in ky. It’s not done much anymore. Most folks would be scared to death of a big ole hellgrammite. Love the videos. Keep’em coming. God Bless to you and Your’s.
MR GENE, another great video, i'm a truck driver from Georgia, i live on lake Sinclaire and go fishing when i can, i cant tell you how much i enjoy your videos, makes my day. i would like to see a catch and cook video, keep makin us laugh, your good at it, THERE ELLLLMO
Really enjoy you , brother. Nothing better than country folks ! I am from Kentucky, and used to come to Guntersville every spring, but I lost my best fishin buddy to cancer last year. We always enjoyed coming to Alabama, and always released every bass we ever caught . Nothing better than bluegill and shell crackers in the frying pan ! Keep doing what you’re doing ! Roll Tide !!!
Gene I live in Missouri and I'm a avid fan of your channel, we are looking for place Guntersville so I can enjoy fishing and I envy you...I can't hardly wait to move down your way.
Any suggestions where I can find 1 lb. plus bluegill in Alabama? I have never actually caught bluegill hogs like that before. I just need one to satisfy that urge.
Im fixing to go get 30 crappie caught this week as i intend to use the spiritual realm and spuritual things to influence the conditions. Ive used spiritual methods to do things when it wasnt going well so i plan to get me a big crappie meal.I plan to just call a decree over a certain lake in my area to influence fish feeding. Most would say i was crazy and out of my tree. When ive done this type of stuff before i admit people who saw it were baffled at seeing this stuff. You know to the doubters that God told us all there was nothing abnormal about doing this stuff because they toiled all night and got not a fish and Jesus said or Master. He said cast the net out a little from shore. They doubted in their heart still saying we will catch nothing. Still by grace they caught many and all you have to do is believe it and go catch 30 crappie in the blazing hot sun with no structure in mid summer. I see a dove sitting in my tree all day long which is unusual after calling this supernatural stuff out. I have done this before and succeeded often when God showed up there was a lot of wind damage psalm 50-v3 twice i saw 100mph winds. I feel everyone should remember whose fish they are and the creator who made them and thank Him for success and know this stuff is really real and that it should be all about glorifying God and His son thats what fishing is really all about. So i'll go catch my 30 crappie and remember the Lord in all my days. A major severe weather event is coming most dont see to areas of America
And remember Richard, you are being spoiled because you deserve it. What you do on here is greatly appreciated by everyone. You are the ultimate fishing teacher. I personally have learned so much from you.
I like the "desert water" you talked about. 10% of the water holds 90% of the fish. "Old ways" of finding fish is also great advice. I tell my 11 year-old son that the water birds are the best fishermen anywhere. They fish for a living, LITERALLY! If they don't eat they die! Good video....hopefully we get to fish together one day.
I enjoyed your video, mainly because of your attitude and tenderness🤗 you Sir are a trip! Can you show close-ups of your set up "hook line sinker"?????
This has become my favorite type of fishing this year. Started watching you and Catfish Kayak do this and picked up a micro setup myself with 2 lb test line and Gulp Alive blood worms on a tiny jig head. I have caught more fish this summer than I think in any other of my life haha. Great stuff
Since you requested.. I've been curious how you clean your fish. I don't believe I've seen any fish cleaning videos from you. I apologize if I've missed them. Then again.. fish cleaning videos can create a lot of controversy. Everyone has their way and no other way works.
Thanks for all you do Richard. It’s rare to watch videos without foul language and even more rare for someone to mention our Lord and Savior. God bless you and yours.
I know you are the fishing king..but the sunfish you catch..are okay...I have caught about 20 or 30 12 inch shellcrackers this year..and some bluegills the same size...all public fishing...I'm looking to catch some bigger as the year goes on...I have a technique that I am going to try that is generally used for catfish just downsized this winter...we will see..but I am the sunfish Assassin77 lmao
Too many people take themselves too seriously. I really enjoy you having some fun and sharing it! It is good info and very entertaining. Thx my friend!!
Just wanted to say Thank you ! I love fishing for pan fish but especially for the shell crackers of my youth. I have become disabled so I don't get to do much fishing, but I miss it deeply. You consistently deliver great action and we have been going ultra light for years. How could anyone ask for more from a fishing trip? Thank you and I can taste them 🐚 shell crackers are better than just about any other type of fish. If you can get on them this is my favorite.
I watched one of your videos about how you rigg a slip cork on a rod and reel. I use to put my bead below the cork and above my split shot but on your video I noticed that you put your bead above the cork so l tried that technique at lake Eufaula had much better luck. Caught some monster shellcracker and bream. I got pictures on some of them. Mayflies will be hatching soon
I just fished a small lake here in Shelby County Alabama. The lake was clear and the bottom is grassy. I was fishing a motor oil with a chartreuse tail Zoom worm. I could not get the bass to bite. Any suggestions about what to do the next time I fish this lake.
I don't have the nerve to use 2 lb line😅. I do use 4 lb . Ihave a few ultralight setups I use for trout and bluegill. It's a lot of fun . I do believe bluegill and shellcrackers are about absolute best tasting fish.
I love your videos , blue gills and red ear are my favorite, its early april here in Indiana, my boyis in army and comes 1st week inmayweek go get use some gills
Quick question, Mr. Gene...avid fisher woman from TX, here. I’m curious about which type of line you’d recommend/that you use for targeting pan fish? Mono, fluoro, mixed (fluoro-coated), braid...what about lb test line? I currently run 4lb mono on an ultra-light action panfish rod, but I’m almost always missing “feeling” more bites than those that lead to a fish...I also generally go w/a size 6 panfish hook....what gives? I bank fish a lot (from a barge, usually), targeting structure & trees...SKUNKED! HUNGRY! The spawn is coming...I need to shore up, SOMETHING about my technique...or I’ll be one HANGRY fisher woman all season long...HELP! I love watching your channel, btw...good fun, GREAT, FISHING!
I'm not Richard but if you're missing panfish bites you're probably in an area with an overpopulation of tiny fish. Could that be an issue? From your comment it sounds like you're fishing the same area over and over.
@@AmaraOkpechi Well I would definitely try a new spot. There's a pond near me that's nearly impossible to fish bait in because of the overabundance of tiny fish.
@ Amara. Chicago, Cook Co Forest Preserves fisherman here. That barge that you fish on, is it anchored halfway near deep water, or just beached up in the sand. Cause you need to find yourself some deeper water nearby. That or make some far casts. And you gotta stay on top of that bobber. You can’t just loly gag around. You might get tired of keeping your eyes on that bobber but you’ll see if fish are stripping your bait or not. And remember: those really big bluegills and shell crackers are as shy as a pick pocket. !! They ain’t like those teenagers you’ve been catching. That’ll just jump on the hook. Remember, they’re 6,7,8 years old and they’ve been living out there day in and day out all those years . They know what time it is.... A lot like a trophy buck. You should buy yourself a little honing stone for your tackle box and test every hook you tie on. And cut little v notch in your bucket, so you can set it down. But keep it at arm’s distance- - at the ready. There’s probably bigger gills out from where you’re at. Try fishing in water 2 or 3 x deeper than what you’re at if you can cast to it. It’s easy, once you KNOW HOW 😄😄 Good Luck!
Always amazes me when bank fisherman fish..they cant cast out far enough..yet these boat fisherman cast right up against the banks. Show me video of catching gills in deep water..then I will understand your ways.
II literally have this exact same rig. I usually throw trout magnets on it. Catching the big bluegill on lake chickamauga. Then we use em for catfish bait while my wife and kids swim off the back of our pontoon boat.
No body of water close to me looks like the waters you fish. It's all tree roots buried in lily pads with a mud and goose shit bottom. Lot's of places for kids to go and drown worms. I'll keep going though.
Shell crackers.... Up north we call them red ears or red ear sunfish... Took me a min to figure out what you meant...but when you put that camera on it....I knew just what you were talking about..... 😉 Good down to earth content Mr. Gene. 🤠 Best Wishes!
Howdy Folks!! I hope you enjoy the video. I would like to Thank Jeff for sending me the jigs used in the video. I would also like to thank each and everyone of you for watching!

I would like to see striper and hybrid striper fishing aka"rock fish" thanks, R.G.T.F.M
Hey Richard Gene,how bout a stream wading video where you catch your own grampus’s (hellgrammites) and fish for smallmouth,rock bass,etc. I love to that up here in ky. It’s not done much anymore. Most folks would be scared to death of a big ole hellgrammite. Love the videos. Keep’em coming. God Bless to you and Your’s.
I would like to see some striped bass fishing. I’m not familiar with this at all so it would be cool to see your take on how it’s done
I love your channel great guy...I'd love to see you do some fly fishing for them slabs and other pan fish
Hey Richard, it's already been suggested... but I'd be interested in your technique for using crickets for 'gills!
MR GENE, another great video, i'm a truck driver from Georgia, i live on lake Sinclaire and go fishing when i can, i cant tell you how much i enjoy your videos, makes my day. i would like to see a catch and cook video, keep makin us laugh, your good at it, THERE ELLLLMO

I love your fishing in the way you teach
Gene I live in Missouri and I'm a avid fan of your channel, we are looking for place Guntersville so I can enjoy fishing and I envy you...I can't hardly wait to move down your way.

The bobber you was using, was it like the ice fishing bobbers or are they something else? Just couldn't get a good look at it.
I really enjoy your videos. You know your stuff.
Hey Mr Gene do you use side imageing to find fish beds?
Any suggestions where I can find 1 lb. plus bluegill in Alabama? I have never actually caught bluegill hogs like that before. I just need one to satisfy that urge.
Bill dance jr. A

Good stuff Gene hey and by the way I tried your rubber band and crawdad
method in Waurika lake the other day and caught some nice channel cats thanks!
No problem Joel! Glad you tried the technique!
I enjoyed your video, mainly because of your attitude and tenderness🤗 you Sir are a trip!

Love all your vids Richard Gene. You enjoy catch fish whether giant blue cats or blue gills. Awesome!
Bet that shelldady was good deep fried with some homemade French fries
Would you consider a bass video from the bank for us north eastern folks?
Richard Gene - I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it next time on account of my gout. You gonna have to make it without me bubba.
Can you do a video on how to clean fish
Soap and water... Blow dry
😂😂
Learn to fillet... It's a crowd pleaser and it's cleaner than cleaning fish
People spoil you alot man.Nice shellcracker bye the way.Keep up the fishing.
Gene I diffinately injoy watching your video, because I get to go fishing and never leave my porch.
Hey Richard. Love your videos! Especially the Crappie catching. Is that an old school Mitchell I see you using sometimes? Keep up the great work.
Love these types of vids. I'd rather catch a mess of bluegill than anything - fantastic fishing and so good to eat!
I know you are the fishing king..but the sunfish you catch..are okay...I have caught about 20 or 30 12 inch shellcrackers this year..and some bluegills the same size...all public fishing...I'm looking to catch some bigger as the year goes on...I have a technique that I am going to try that is generally used for catfish just downsized this winter...we will see..but I am the sunfish Assassin77 lmao
Thanks Richard,
You taught me how to understand the waters & the fish a whole lot
Too many people take themselves too seriously. I really enjoy you having some fun and sharing it! It is good info and very entertaining. Thx my friend!!
Thank you for your good, clean show!
I love your vids. Keep up the good work. I have started a new tackle box because of you lol 👍🏼👍🏼
I agree with all of these complimentary comments and I like it that you are an historian.
Just wanted to say Thank you ! I love fishing for pan fish but especially for the shell crackers of my youth. I have become disabled so I don't get to do much fishing, but I miss it deeply.

Not much beats a bluegill Sammich, well crappie fillets are the best but then again I haven’t tried a fried fish I didn’t like so....
I just fished a small lake here in Shelby County Alabama. The lake was clear and the bottom is grassy. I was fishing a motor oil with a chartreuse tail Zoom worm. I could not get the bass to bite. Any suggestions about what to do the next time I fish this lake.
I was on one of my favorites for gills and crappie and ended up with a 6.5lb catfish on my ultralight gear, fun was had!
Thanks for the videos. ROLL TIDE!!!
I don't have the nerve to use 2 lb line😅. I do use 4 lb . Ihave a few ultralight setups I use for trout and bluegill. It's a lot of fun . I do believe bluegill and shellcrackers are about absolute best tasting fish.

I love your videos , blue gills and red ear are my favorite, its early april here in Indiana, my boyis in army and comes 1st week inmayweek go get use some gills
austin...if you cant figure out how toclean and fillet fish with todays technology.. you cant read.
Richard I do believe that you could catch fish out of a 5 gallon bucket as long as the water wasn't too low.
Good evening Mr. Gene,
I've been meaning to ask if you once served in the military?
Do you know if Shell Crackers are in Wisconsin if you do can you please tell me
Mean Gene, my brother! I’d love to see you do a show on catching those hybrid bass fish!. Thank you for the awesome videos! Roll Tide!!
How did you adhere the green carpet/astroturf to the aluminum?
Any time you can go fishing. Is a good day!! You the man!! From walleye man!!LOL
Great lesson on those blue gills if you can find them that's my problem
WHEN YOU WRAP YOUR HOOKS WITH TOOTH STRING AND SUPER GLUE THE PLASTIC IS IT OK TO USE A WAXED DENTAL FLOSS?
Im afraid a 4 pound catfish might break your wimpy rod
How do you catch the big catfish like 70 lbs and bigger
Have you ever been to the fishing museum in Branson? It is a very good one.
Catch,clean, and cook. Nice video Mr. Gene
I LIKE UNDONESIA BOY
Have you heard of the elusive shell crappie.
My favorite kinda fishing and eating!
I always here you say Elmo.. exactly who is he or she ?
Best fishing channel on TH-cam. Hands down! I'm talking bout Wooooooooo! Ok.
Great video Richard Gene keep them coming
Where do you get the micro baits from and ty
Momma gona take that big girl and smile as she eats it
Is there any yellow perch down your way
Please tell me what bait your using

Can I go fishin' with you??

Aint nuttin better than sprang time
Momma Sue is gona be happy
All I can really say is "WOOO".
II literally have this exact same rig. I usually throw trout magnets on it. Catching the big bluegill on lake chickamauga. Then we use em for catfish bait while my wife and kids swim off the back of our pontoon boat.
Those big scrappy bluegills would make great live bait for some giant flatheads (hint,hint,nudge, nudge).
No body of water close to me looks like the waters you fish. It's all tree roots buried in lily pads with a mud and goose shit bottom.
Lot's of places for kids to go and drown worms. I'll keep going though.
