Why does an 18 Min video feel like 2 Min I cant stop watching this guy.

🤠 Howdy from Texas.. Richard, May our good Lord never let your line go slack brother. Keep your line wet.

Richard, it's apparent you have fishing down to a science! YOU'RE THE MAN! I only wish I could find beastie crappies like that here in the coastal plains of NC. You'd make millions conducting fishing seminars if you'd want to! Keep the vids coming!

Got too meet this guy this afternoon he is truly a icon in my opinion he really knows how to catch them when no one else can he is the best on any lake or creek or river in my opinion the Ole machine is good I truly hope one day I might have the knowledge he has and can do it the same way on any body of water....truly a blessing to have got to meet and shake his hand this afternoon...

Mr Gene, you are bad man with a rod & reel my friend. Keep on fishing, cause it's goooood furrr ye.

Love to watch you catch 1-1/2 pound Sac-a-lait on 2 pound test line. Can’t be anything but fun! “Let’s let’em go”! God bless you, Richard Gene!

Have learned more at fishing crappie from you Mr Gene thank you for your fishing videos!!! God bless you all!!!

Love your excitement, Mr. Richard!! And GOLLY at the big crappie you caught!! Woooo!!

I really enjoy the video . I always just went fishing to catch a fish. Now I want to catch crappie, you are teaching me. Thank you making fishing more fun.

I truly enjoy watching your videos and listening to you you’re a good teacher and you seem like a very sincere person who really loves to fish

Richard Gene is a true professional crappie fisherman. Love your stuff! Shut down the fish markets...Richard's eatin' anyway. Keep gettin' 'er done!

Mr Richard you are the man!!! Love your videos!!!! You fan number #1 from georgia!🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏🎣🎣🎣

Gallyyy... Hahaha. Love tap. Get back in there big ol thing... My bride whispered that to me one time at the in-laws whilst on holiday. 🤫🤭😉

Great video as ALWAYS Mr Gene!! I swear you could catch a crappie on a safety pin and a cheese curl!! You the MAN Mr Gene!! 👍😎

I admire your casting accuracy, without a snag less hook,I would've caught brush tops logs and everything else

Even the rain don't hold back RICHARD GENE!! Congrats on a awesome catch-- KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!!

Lord! What a day of fishing!!! I LOVED every Minute of it!!!!😇😂😂😇

Another AWESOME video Brother! Thanks for all you do! Appreciate ya!😀

Naughty Like a kid, really enjoy your video, don't stop please

I love it!!! YeeHaw!! Keep right on doing what you doing brother!! It’s entertaining it’s very educational and the videos are clean. What I mean is I can watch em with my youngins and I don’t have to watch em by myself first. Because I know you ain’t gonna go to talk like a sailor or have a hissy fit if you were to miss a fish. Even though I ain’t seen ya miss one yet I don’t think. I’m rambling on again what I’m trying to say Richard is thank you so much for making videos the way you do. I hope you will keep on making em and not change a thing!! Say hey to ole Elmer for me and good luck buddy!!

So i been fishing Sacalais (Crappie) since i could hold a rod. In the spawn on a hair jig i fish them similarly. While I use a hair jig on a very small float i twitch the jig very aggressively. This is prespawn about two week prior to them actually laying eggs. While the limit is 25 in Texas i can boat 100 fish easily. 5 days week for 4 weeks. No problem...i have to admit the suttle difference in my setup makes all the difference. Gene clearly know where he is and where they are. He has got these fish down to a science. Its Jan 30th 2020 and in two weeks it will be on until the end of March. Good fishing to all.

Never get tired of seeing you fish. Wish I was just a little bit as good as you

First comment to Gene the fishing machine gotta love the good Ole boy fishing videos I watch his videos over any other tight lines to you mr.gene !

Hello from Mississippi. I love crappie finishing and have just bought my first boat.

Richard, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and videos. I truly enjoy them !!! Ed

That's one of the Jig color combos that Perry sent me. Amazing!

Hey Richard I am a big fan of your channel, and I sincerely appreciate you sharing your adventures and fishing secrets that you have developed over the years. One thing that I have noticed that I hope that you can explain in one of your float fishing videos is what do you do to keep your float up the line a little so that it doesn't slide all the way down to your jig? I don't notice where you are using a small split shot or a swivel so I am curious what you do? I haven't seen you explain it yet so I would appreciate it if you would show us what you do. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.

Absolutely loved it brother!!! Unbelievable Crappie 👍👍Loved the ending 😁😁

In my opinion this is the Machines best video!

Now I could fish with gene I like his attitude he's funny he's not loud he seems pleasant to be around and he can catch the crappie good job and happy fishing

Gosh this vid brings back memories. I have fished banks that look exactly like that and loaded the boat full of crappie. I love casting but found out trolling can be lots of fun too... using the light floats with a jig underneath. Id give $$ to spend a day on the lake right now. Wisteria is blooming and that means the fertilizer is passing thru an air moving device right now. Believe it or not I have had days where I caught well over 300 crappie in one day...and trolling jigs slowly under bobbers like that I had to stop using 8 rods and go to 2-3. I could not keep up with 8 rods by myself they were so veracious. Thanks for the vid... those overcast skies... light drizzle like that.. a PERFECT day to keep them fairly shallow.

Great video, thanks. I sent the video to my crappie competition buddy to make him get the fishing itch. We used to fish in Gadsden, Alabama on John Croyle's Big Oak Ranch. I would fly down from New Hampshire and enjoy some good southern fishing. Always a great time.

What a beautiful place to leave the world and fish. Wish you could take me fishin there some day.

Excellent video Mr. G, let's catch another 1!!! 👍😎

Richard...all my friends and I call each other Elmo now....keep it up...great content

YOUR CRAZY RICHARD AND I LIKE IT!! BOY HOWDY THATS SOME GOODENS . GO CRAZY WHEN YOU CAN CAUSE ITS GOOOD FERYA!! Love it love it !!!!👍👍🎣⚓️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for all you do and all the information you share

Gettin' wet don't matter when ye doin' sumthin' that's goooood fer ye! I gotta tell you I subscribed the other day after I watched a few of your videos and now I've watched a few more because they're good for me. I honestly think you probably have the best fishing channel on KZfaq and I mean that, sir. I mean it. There's some good ones out there, too. I miss fishing the South. I grew up in East Tennessee and I've done a lot of crappie fishing. I miss it bad but if you ever find yourself up here in Washington state I'll take you salmon fishing. You betcha! Keep on keeping on and catching them slabs, sir. Best of luck to you and _thank you so much._

Love it. As soon as the hook got wet after the first heavy lady (belly full of eggs) , another Big Black Crappie grabs it... best fishing right there.

I'm still here Richard Gene! I watch em all! These fronts are killing me over on wheeler.

Wow some beauty SLABS there. Well done Sir... great tips!

Hi Richard I been watching u for awhile now have subscribed to your channel have learned alot I gotta say those slabs u be throwing back I be like i need to be there with a bucket 😃😃😃 FROM FORREST CITY ARKANSAS

Nice job Mr. Gene! Still watching your videos keep up the good work my friend.

You've tied that loop knot more than a few times LOL. Took me forever before I could tie it in less than 5 minutes. Love your videos brother.

I'm a speckled trout fisherman down in Louisiana love your passion man

Thank you Sir. It’s great to see others turn some fish back.

Having 25 plus mph winds in Louisiana. So since I cannot get on the lake, I can get my fill by watching you get'em. As always, another great video filled with SLABS. Way to geaux Richard.

Nice crappie Richard Gene , I know you had fun. Good video.

Richard Gene you got the best tips and videos out here.....real nice!

Great crappie video. I caught my first 4 lbs crappie two days ago and now I'm hooked. I was actually striper fishing with large blue backed herrings and a giant black crappie took one. BTW, I love the way you end your videos. Very entertaining.

This video reminds me of my Dad .Fishing in the rain and catching fish.Nice looking crappie thanks for the video

I can't get out and about so I have to get my jollies watching you and you are fun to watch thank you

Slabs for sure, took a play out of your book yesterday and switched to the smallest float I had. It made all the difference in the world, it was like some one turn the bite on with a switch. Thanks for all the tips!

Very educational and entertaining. Thanks

Love your videos Richard. Im new to crappie fishing and im hoping I can be as good as you some day!!

Found your channel about a month ago...watched all your vids. Love them. I enjoy "Sac-a-lait" fishing as much as you do..cuz it's good fer me! 👍

Holy Smokes those were *SLABS* !!

This is my favorite way to fish right there. Small cork, limber rod with a jig...Now that was a fun looking day on the lake for you Richard. Slab after slab! AWESOMENESS LOL...

Hang-in-there big guy !! Love you're show wanting to move to Guntersville Alabama and it's your fault.

You the best I watched all your videos you are a fishing machine love the ending videos

Thanks now that's the best crappie tip of 2018 no question....Thanks Mr.Gene

Another great video Richard. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us.

U got me crappie fishing now. Lol keep it going broboecopp......cause it's good fuuuur yah!

WOW.. Awesome.. Don't know if your techniques would work in the bayous of South LA. On the lakes like Toledo Bend and other lakes yes.

I finally saw the cork go down. I usually watch for it. Can't always see it. Would like to see more of the cork/float goin down.thanks for sharing

Praying for all the fishermen to have a safe and successful fishing season.

You are the man love your fishing videos

i'm gonna have to find some of your fishing spots up there at Guntersville Lake. I swear it seems like there's no crappie to be found down here in south alabama. The lakes down here are still clear water with no fish in the shallows. Oh well...that's why the call if fishing and not catching!!! Keep fishing while you can, cause your videos are gooooooooood fer me!!!

Enjoy your videos never had anyone teach me the art of fishing thank you

I’m watching this nearly a year later to prep for the the pre spawn .Good fishing in a good spot by a good guy. God Blessings !

You inspire me to be a better fisherman. Thanks for the great tips.

You sure hit right this trip

Great video Elmo thanks for sharing GOD BLESS.

Tell the truth now Richard- I know you can see under water and find these fish!!! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!

Mr. Gene, Just a tip. I use a long handle crab net when I crappie fish. In expensive, small enough not to be in the way, and I don’t have to get up to land that slab crappie.

Ah man what some fine eating you`ve got there.... Love to see those big boys.... Great catch and release,, Thanks for sharing and Fish On and Be careful out there....

Kick ass channel. Kudos for the Eagle Claws too, didn't know they still made them so I will look for their website ASAP.

Haven't been crappie fishing long sometimes it's frustrating not as good as you LOL. But I'm going to keep trying because I am addicted to it LOL enjoy your videos trying to learn from them thank you so much

I love it. You act 👍 me sometimes. I'm always clowning around. I never get it on film though. Just wish I had a body camera too.👌👍😊

Great video Richard. I use a one inch gulp minnow under a float and it rarely let's me down. You should be hearing gobblers in those woods soon. Beautiful country you have there.

Mr geneThats was show-nuff a great video them crappies was nice uns keep it up mr gene tell elmo to trim them neck hairs are comb them and go with you enjoy all your shows tell elmo to sop it up .thanks mr gene for what you do brother

I know spawning season is near. Heading to lake Eufaula,Alabama. I’m going to try some of your techniques

Looks like you are having better luck than me...three days on Weiss and only two keepers. The weather has been horrible, cold and windy and the water temp has been falling. Another great "Elmo Production" video - awaiting the next video.

Richard, I am truly amazed by the way you catch those crappie. It seems like you can catch them no matter the weather or the conditions. I've just begun to get into catching crappies and I did get into a real good one this winter threw the ice. I really want to catch more this spring and summer. I watch every video and I've taken your tips and wisdom to heart. I do have a lot of questions for you. One of them being why do you always retie your jigs almost every time? And how come you don't use a snap swivel?

Nice. I think Elmo taught you well!!. Thanks again for all the great info.

I also love catching sac-a-lait richard, the best fish to eat, honest

Richard, I have always fished with minnows. I am going to try the jigs. I fish at Cedar Creek in Texas. There are bridges and lots of brush piles in the lake. I am still recovering from cataract surgery on both eyes. And I am ready to take my boat out.

Thanks for the video Richard Gene them were some big crappie. I'm all ready for open water fishing for crappie just have to wait for the ice to drop off the lakes I fish. Keep the good videos coming.

Good to see you stil have good hands tieing that loop knot it take me 20 min good stuff good fish out a here

Richard gene. the G.O.A.T of crappie fishing

I can't talk yet! I'm excited!.... great video! Thx!! LMAO
