He said "thank you for 200 subscribers" --- As of October 2020 it's almost 200,000 subscribers! Gene - you are the man!

Richard I'm 77 years old a Virginia my fishing was worms crayfish and minners. I have watched many fishing shows from pro's, well they can't hold a candle to you sir. What you do is so complete even I can understand. I set down with a six pack and brother you put fishing in a new world. Where I come from " Blue Ridge Mountains" it was what ever you could catch, Cats, perch, Blue gill, bass, sunfish.and an occasional Crappie. Don't ever stop your shows. When now I can't go fishing you fill the Gap. Wonder presentation and verity. This vedio reminds me of the time my Dad and I went to get minners. If you are not from mountain country it's Minnows. LOL

You sir are a example of a fisherman. Enjoying your videos from Texas

Me. Gene you said 200 plus subscribers. You now have over 240,000 subscribers!! You are the best.

Glad u showed the bait collecting part too. U make it look so easy but i know u put in a lotta hard work to be that good.

Richard is doing what it takes to get them creek MINNERS!

OmG Dude. U JUST TAUGHT ME HOW TO CAST THAT F N NET...watched 5 other tutorials and I couldn t get it. THANKU

Id be sure to give richard a honk if i ever see him out casting nets 🎣

Great lesson on throwing a cast net. Looking forward to the spotted bass video. Keep em coming.

Mr. Gene has got 20 years on me and I don't smoke and he has got more energy than I have ever had! He could work circles around me!!

Seein's how you admittedly "ain't normal", I was beginnin' t' think Elmo was your imaginary friend.

OG richard gene right here, , @ 200 subs, now hes at almost 200k, Why? because this man is THE MACHINE

Try a 3/16 net if legal. In that shallow of water, fall rate shouldn't matter much. It will keep you from gilling the smaller ones and you will still catch the big ones.

Good to see Elmo could finally make it.

Now I know what I've been doing wrong about tossing the cast net.

enjoyed the video... gonna send a copy to my brother so you can teach him to throw a net!

Only thing i like more than creek minners, and that's Richard Gene....Woooo!

I just want you to know that I had to rest after watching this video.....I was plum give out.....lol.

YES THIS MAN IS THE MOST SOUTHERN PERSON I HAVE EVER SEEN

They've changed the laws in Texas and you can only use bait caught in the body of water you are fishing in or use approved purchased bait. This is by far the best cast net video yet, Thank You.

Thanks for stopping and showing how to throw a cast net.been waitn for that......

Add how to throw a cast net into the title. Finally figured it out thanks to the man himself RICHARD GENE. God bless you!

Creek minners and sucker fia.. man that cracks me up. great video

This is one of my favorite videos Richard!

The delicatessen of all baits here in Michigan are now those invasive species named goby. They were introduced to take care of the zebra muscles which both became a major nussince

My inner Elmo came out the other day while I was fishing and he said this go fishing when you can because it is good for you.lol😆🤣😂

Today ol Richard went to the lake to try and catch him sum minners,while down at the lake below him, the preacher was baptizing sinners.It caused such a ruckus as them demons was cast out,till Richard did a little dance and give a great shout.The Lord was so pleased by what he saw till he did like Peter of old.He filled up ol Richards net, with all the minners it could hold.Amen...........................Great video Richard heres a sub for you at no charge .ha ha.

Celebrating 200 subscriptions. Now you are at 100K! Well deserved. Congratulations!

I typically use a cast net first thing in the morning, catching just enough (half dozen or so) to get me started. Once I get out on the water, I put out a couple of minnow traps to catch still more. By visiting those traps occasionally throughout the day, I can keep going all day long.

Richard, You and Elmo really know how to fish for fun. I would certainly love to cast net for minnows , and yes.. ITS GOOOOD FER YA !!! LOL May the Lord help you and happy Thanksgiving, and also Merry Christmas to you and alllll the family cause it's goooood Fer Ya !!

Love the video, best way to catch good bait that's for sure.

i love you buddy. great vids! god bless you and yours

you did work for em, all respect

Who the heck would give a thumbs down to Richard Gene....I tell u what. Wooooo

Just came across this channel, you have yourself a subscriber boss. Great videos, I'm learning allot

Enjoy watching You Richard and of course Elmo too

In m y lake we have what we call "Golden Shiners" They look like streamlined carp about 6 to 12 inches long. We catch them on small dough balls or a dry fly. "Snot Rockets" (northern pike) love 'em to death but, Big ol bass love 'em just as well. Also catch "creek chubs" on small jigs, bass love them better than bluegills or golden shiners. Then we have what we call "Mud Minners" a fatter kind of minner (carp) but shorter. I am in S.E. Lower Michigan.

Fun watch thanks so much!

You could try tossing in some crushed peppermint candy right before your net. Minnows love that stuff! For bluegill toss bread.

Gotta get me a cast net! Yet one more way to enjoy this fabulous sport.

Mini holes do a neat eazier job lapping still bowls it bow foot lock

Richard Gene The Cast Net Machine!!! Rip'n Lips from Amarillo Texas

Dam you are a machine. Here I was bitching about trying to cast out of a cluttered 14ft Jon boat and you are casting out of the frame of a bridge lmao. Well done sir.

Richard is a crackerjack of an angler!! This man can fo it all

Finally not the only one who calls them miners

So glad I found your channel! Your quickly becoming my fav. fishing channel! Ok I need a small net I’ve been searching these Northern GA creeks with Minnow traps with zero luck so far! Where are the minnows out here. If someone in comments can point me in the right direction!

Great video as usual!

man you are a hard worker

Enjoyed it. I was on Weiss today and got blown off the lake,

THANKS FOR TELLING US WHAT YOU USE

Well I went by a creek on Thursday in collinsville that looked familiar on this video....on my way to Weiss lake thought maybe you lived there...

Thanks for the videos Mr machine

OK , he said something about " denture's being jerked out !! Elmo is the bread 🍞 & he is the butter 🍣 , " Elmo " Elmo " Elmo " , That's a Sucker Fish , Sucker Fish , we need Sucker Fish " Elmo " pay attention 👀👂 THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO 👍👌✌ 👈

Ain’t this right at collingsville? I was just at that place last week!

Awesome informative Video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya Prayers 🙏

Red eye bass? We call them rock bass and nobody eats them here in Michigan.

Everytime this happens to me I think when I put that big good minnow on. Now I am going to catch a nice one. A little damn fish eats it immediately and steals my good minnow. Lol

sure miss Alabama and Lake Martin, Wilson Lake

Can you make a video on how you locate crappies? I'm a big bass guy but some how came across your videos and got myself into it and now it's a new hobby of crappie fishing! Haha keep fishing cause it's good for y'all

You seem to be very popular in north Alabama with everyone honking at you. Going to visit this fall. Hope to see you somewhere. If all goes well, were going to be moving to Huntsville/Decatur area.

Hopefully we will cross paths one day. We are so much alike when it comes to being a simple fisherman

we got them redeyes in cricks and small rivers here in virginia, like ya'lls videos alot..im ready to get out there...

I got a betts old salt cast net and it had a lot of lead on it. I could only cast it 10 times before my shoulder got soar.

how on earth did this get 107 thumbs down, God bless their hearts

Damn that's ruthless lol

love to watch you , if you ever come to demopolis Alabama, I would like to go fishing with you ...and elmo.

I got on youtube to try and learn some tricks for crappie fishing on guntersville. I ran across your videos and I have enjoyed them. I think the only thing I need now is to climb in your boat with you.

when you used the bobby garland minnow below the float for crappie was it in the summer and does it only work around rocks. thanks for the videos

Amazing video!! keep it up//Subscribed and liked// love it man!

cheer for good work !

thanks richard

Great vid! True pioneer.

What size mesh did you use for this casting net?

What net are you using? How big are the squares in the mesh? Thanks!

just subscribed, love your videos

I have been watching you for a while and would like to know who Elmo is and what he looks like.

love ur vids richard always some cool info in them, what town u from? whats ur fav baits to throw in the different seasons of the year on guntersville, do u fish gville dam?

Once I netted so many 4to6in. Shad, I had to dump out about half of them before I could lift the net into the boat

I always called them chubs.

hello,can you please help me with info where you bought the net? thanks

good job

What's decent size net for a beginner? Im quite new to ALL fishing. But I'm here in Oklahoma fishing my Crappie off ayyyye

If I did that I would have my net wrapped around a tree in that creek

Just subscribed today. Great videos. But be sure to wear that seat belt. Safety first!

I would hate for my net to get stuck on the bottom. Is there any way to avoid this?

Where at?

Them minners is nace.

After you threw net over forearm did you grab front or back lead line?

whats wrong with little guys..would the hook kill them?

you got to get a MINNER trap so then you can set it and come back and get them MINNERS out not to much work involved new subscriber +Richard Gene The Fishing Machine

What size net are you using?

I wish I could get my minnows with a cast net. Up here in Michigan cast nets are illegal except in the great lakes.

Elmo gotta get goin & get on in the truck, hurry now It's fishn time

This video is like a POV of going a fishing trip with Richard gene

Do you ever fish the cedar bluff side of Weiss lake? What is a good gig ( color) for crappie ?

are you a building contractor or a carpentor

What county are you from? I'm from Lawrence where are you guys fishing

Please do more bank fishing videos for those of us that don't have boats brother.

Where can I get the super small mesh for my cast net? Or do they sell them with small holes for like glass minnows or smaller creek minnows?

What kind of net do you use? What would you recommend for a first time buyer?
