This is a life cleanse from all the garbage going on in the world! Thanks Richard!

Thanks so much for this video, Mr. Gene. This 73 year-old really enjoyed it, as Bluegill fishing is my favorite kind of fishing! Here's a short story for you on how my Mom turned me on to Bluegill/Bream fishing over 65 years ago. When I was 8 years old, my Mom introduced me to fishing. We went to the little pond across Austin Drive from where we lived in Gaffney, SC. We dug up some worms from under a big tree near the pond, and Mom cut down a couple of cane poles. She showed me how to attach the line and roll it around the cane pole; how to put an old cork on the line to use as a float, pinch a little BB sized sinker to the line, and tie on a little hook (the hook, line, and sinker were all bought at the local hardware store as this was before the days of the "big box stores"). Then she showed me how to attach the worm onto the hook, and how to softly and smoothly swing the line out to the water, so as not to scare the fish. Later, being the farm girl that she was, she showed me how to clean the catch. That day, she introduced me to a past time that I still enjoy today at the age of 73. She gave me a lifetime of precious memories, this is just one of them!

RICHARD GENE!!!!! My favorite fishing channel!!

When the bluegills get on the beds, it is the most wonderful time of the year for us ultralight anglers!!! Anyone who says they don't like this kind of fishing has got something seriously wrong with them!!! God bless you and your family!!!

Richard Gene the goat of the fishing sport! 💯💪

You have to like the variety of species and techniques Richard uses. Never a dull episode.

Richard Gene is second to none

Richard, that bug reminds me of "creepy crawlers" we made and played with as kids.

Grandpa used to always take me to guntersville. I miss him and love your videos. Thank you mr gene.

live the enthusiasm in the vids richard. keep it up 🤙🏾

Thank you so much for your channel. Your techniques are simple yet effective. I've learned a lot. God bless you and yours.

Great to see you catch AND release them ! So often people loose perspective on the breeding stock and the big ones have to be released for the future success !

You’re basically fly fishing with a mono rig. It’d be fun to see you in a trout stream with this same setup.

Thanks Richard we love you man!✌️💪👍

Amazing! I tried bank fishing too and caught some fish, but just nothing of any size... These were CHUNKS! Great job mr Machine!

Thank you for being you

Great video Richard, thanks for taking us along.

🔥🔥 A new video from Richard Gene? WOOOOO!!!! 🔥

Thankyou for showing people the importance of fishing and conservation

Thanks, Richard. You are correct about Bluegill being a strong fighter. Putting the grandkids on some Bluegills is God's reward for having children. They don't even know why they catch em, they just want to catch some more. Plant the seed and let it grow. God bless y'all for all that you do for us. Be careful out there around the water.

Great video! I have caught panfish since the early 60's, and the most productive and fun method I found is using a fly rod with a light tapered leader, and a latex floating spider with rubber band legs. Just lay it out there a few feet from shore and let it sit. You can see the fish swim up slow and suck it in!

Thank you for the video, Richard. God Bless.

Mr. Gene I absolutely love your videos and your attitude about life. You are an inspiration and one heck of a fine angler. Learn something everytime I click your video. God bless you and the machine family 🙏

Just love it when they hit it on the fall!

Learn something on every video! You are so experienced in this sport of fishing. I am so glad that you are using your experience to teach others what you know. Helping keep this sport alive!😊

You the man Gene!!!

Great video Richard thanks again Richard GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY RICHARD 😊

Thank you Richard, super info and we love the video! I will give it a try! 😀 ❤👍😇

Thanks, Richard Gene!!!!

"Hey, I'm gonna go golf-cartin' and look at my neighbors, woo." :D

Richard, I have fished for crappie on a fly rod, used a regular old fly, and it was so much fun. I am sure a lot of people do this, but your the first I have seen on YT do this. LOVE IT! Instant sub.

I learned something else new today from Richard Gene. As always.

Another great teaching video! Thanks Richard!

Gene you're the best, keep 'em comin'

we love you richard gene the fishing machine

Heck yeah man! Love the videos

I caught a nice size fish yesterday and yelled out "WOOOO"!!!!! 😂

Love watching you catch fish. God bless you my friend. 👍

Richard, you're the best.

Awesome video buddy and as always not only entertaining but educational too. I learn something every time I watch one

I love your videos been watching since 2017. You have made me a better bass fisherman. I need more videos with artificial bait for bass.❤your tips work!!!

Gonna have to try those out! Awesome content. Quality video and person. Thanks for all you do.

Best fishing channel period-

Thanks so much for your videos you’re the best

Richard's handyman to have around!!!

Hi Mr. Richard. Fishing from the bank is the access I have, and Bluegill and their cousins are what I target. Thank you for continuing to share your techniques and secrets. For whatever reason that Nikko Stonefly lure is not available in my area, but I will try to find something similar and try it. Thank you again for another great video. God bless you and your family.

Love your video i always learn something

Go Fishing Machine!! Enjoy every video SO much!! GOD Bless!!!

Man that looks like a lot of fun 👍🐟

Great video keep them coming brother

My young self love watching you fish helps me outfish alot of people

I was not aware that they spawned that often, thanks for the info and God bless you and MaMa Sue.

Awesome video Sir like always.. Wooo Stay Safe and Keep’em coming..👍👍👍👍

Love your videos !

Glad you started putting them in the cooler, love eating bluegill!

If you don’t have a dedicated rod, just use a swivel to your main line with 4lb leader to a fly. Attach a clear bubble bobber or foam bobber to act as casting weight. Otherwise it’s too light to cast a fly on its own. I do that when I need Bluegill for bait. They hammer flies off a bobber.

Thanks for that hint I remember last year in July about 10 days after full moon I found a good bed of them!

THANKS!

time for fly fishing time

Awesome video Richard! Me and my brother in law went and caught a limit a few days ago…

Man, you're Meat and potatas, just a down home kinda guy and I love to watch you. Keep it up.

Thanks and God bless

My favorite lure for bluegills is a piece of nightcrawler on a hook or Impulses rigged Bloodworm

I love how he talks to the fish when they're misbehaving, "Now you stop that!"

i love you richard

thanks for this! Nikko seems to be out of stock of these. hopefully they are still making them. I will see if I can find another company who makes them

You're the best

Enjoy your channel!! How about cleaning and preparing your catch? I would love to see some of your processes!

My brother, I love fishing for bluegill and you couldn’t have explained it better. I’m going to get myself. One of them 9 foot poles super sensitive. I’m one fancy fly ride reels. My friend, I was going to get me some of them bait. Go on the Internet. It’s about time here in Illinois. And the way you finished it God bless God bless you, brother. And all fisherman around the world amen.🙏 and take them grandkids, fishing, girls and boys. You’d be the best. Papa in the world out there and get it done.🙏🙏🤠🤩

5:23 Had to smack that big ol thang 😂😂😂

I really like the Sam's rods have one probably 20 years now with a couple more.

Great bluegills video content. Question: What is the make/model/color/size of the jigs that you use with the Nikko stone fly bait?

Greetings from Micronesia ❤️👍🏼🤙🏽😎

Hi Richard. I've been following you since forever. Thanks for all of the great fishing videos you have posted. Just a while back you had a fishing trip targeting a specific type of fish but you caught a number of big GAR just by accident. I would love to see you do a video dedicated to specifically catching Huge GAR please. Also, I would like to start making some fishing videos of my own. What make of GoPro do you use? The sound and picture quality is always excellent. Thank you so much and keep going fishing when you can!!!

Hey Richard! Can you post a video showing how you fillet fish??

"I missed one." Too many shows just edit the missed ones out. Thank you Richard for letting us know we aren't the only ones that miss 'em sometimes. You the man! Whoo! Keep on! Blessings to you and Momma Sue! Thanks for bringing us along.

🤓☕️♥️🙏 I love your video. S you've told me a lot, keep on coming, please and God bless.

Good fish'n. Whoo!

Gonna catch me a mess of bream this year!!!!

What's rod and reel you using ? Never mind i went back and watched the beginning again. Love watching and learning from your videos.

Richard can you do a video of catching bass on the beds? Woooooooo

Roll Tide Roll Richard!

Hey Richard. Have the cicadas emerged in your area. And are you using them to your advantage and getting some gills for the freezer?

There is just something about going out with some Nano/Micro baits and catching a few panfish or trout that cleanses the mind, body, and soul.

Bluegill fishing is some Of the most fun you will ever have what is the name of the Niko your using and the size of the jig head please

Richard, look out for that cat behind you. he wants your fish. Great video.

Hey Richard, where are the best boats made ????? Did I hear Arkansas? Garland Co .? Alumaweld in Lonsdale? You know it as well as Mama Sue

Dang good eating for sure

Richard...you scale them, gut and fry them whole?

Woo I said woo Woooo!!!

These little crickets surely would work for crappie too correct?

Great video! I hope you caught a good mess for Momma Sue's supper! God bless ALL of us! WWG1WGA

Can you provide links to the baits you use?
