    I stopped the video @2:29 as I need to learn the loop knot Richard, so I'll be refreshing your knots in my mind once again!
    I just wanted to tell you also, I caught on my very first artificial white grub cast 1 time, a black crappie!!!!!! Thick and hand size, and it'll be the first crappie of the year to taste.
    I really need to carry into the house my spool of line and holder I made with a short rod and practice, practice, PRACTICE! :)
    You're so calm, and I value you're techniques, All of them Richard!
    Our Lord gave us a great man, and that is you, and let us not forget Mama Sue and Elmer!!!
    Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!! God Bless!

    Richard. I just want you to know that I studied all your crappie videos for weeks back in the spring. And thanks to you ive caught thr most and the biggest crappie I've ever caught this year. And my wife even suggested that I start fishing in the Kentucky Crappie Trail tournaments on lake Cumberland this year. And I actually have the confidence to do so. So thank you Richard. Keep up the good works. 😇

    Hey Richard, i just wanted to say your tips are so helpful. Ive caught alot of fish using your techniques. I met you one day when me and my buddies went to the tva dam at the beach area. Such a wonderful person that loves the sport of fishing. Honestly I would love to go out on the boat with you and wear them out. I live by your motto of go fishing when you can because its good for you. You are absolutely right. Its my therapy and peace. Much love for you man. Im talkin about wooooh!!!!

    I had to take my outboard in for a bit of servicing. Dealer said he was opening up a tackle section for the store. Naturally we started talking fishing and types of baits and he mentioned lures for crappies! The way he said it I knew immediately he was a RGTFM fan! Sure enough, he is. Here in Daphne/ Fairhope, AL the word is out; you gotta watch RGTFM cause it's gooooood fer ya! May God bless.

    Growing up around Mobile, we always headed out to the water when a hurricane was coming in. That low pressure gets everything to biting.

  • @martydunn298
    @martydunn298 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes Richard, that's why they should put a slot limit on sauger! Keep one's between 12 and 15 inches. Turn this big momma's lose! LIVE FOR THE THUMP MY FRIEND!!!

Been catching some specs on Blackwater here lately and you need to come get a few. Take care and keep making those videos.

  • @avshockey6633
    @avshockey6633 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    The best tasting fish always come in just under the legal size limit. Where I live, most lakes have an 18 inch minimum for walleye. You can go out and have a 50 fish day, and maybe 3 of them will be over 18. You'll get a bunch over 17, but finding those 18's can be tough.
