Fisherman: Are you an expensive fishing lure? Rope: No, I'm a Frayed Knot...

Ad: best fishing bait with strongest and sharpest hooks for only 5.99 Old dude: how to catch a gar with string

A lot of wife's are going to be missing hair brushes now. Great video

"This might look ignorant but..." Words to live by.

I learned something today . As far as I'm concerned...The 128 dislikes are from those " ig-ner-ant " folk out there.

My uncle told me about this technique 30 years ago. I thought he was crazy. I stand corrected.

Always heard the old timers using this method. First time i have actually seen it done. Keep it going Richard, you are killing it man.

New drinking game: 1 shot every time he says “he messed up”

This is crazy!! I’ve never seen a youtuber fish for so many different species. Your knowledge of fishing is impressive. No hooks😀

Elmo’s always funny but the dog fishing at the end was hilarious

This is absolutely a Hall of Fame Richard Gene video🎣🏆

The most knowledgeable fisherman on KZfaq, thanks for the video Richard

This guy truly amazes me with his fish knowledge I love Richard Gene..I watch this ish all damn day!

No fancy rigs, tungsten weights, rattles, or even hooks. Just a piece of rope. It's simple and effective. I like it.

I grew up fishing with my uncle George who passed away a few years back. Every since I found your page I kept telling myself that you remind me just like him. Could catch the mess out of flatheads, crappie, and bass. He told me about caching gar like this with a rope and then here you go posting a video on that as well. I really appreciate all the videos you put out. Brings me back memories of how I grew up fishing. Thank you!

I’ve tried this technique with no luck. Now I see the trick is in the details. Thanks for the tips fishing machine!

Just found this channel, good Lord I love this guy.

Richard, I really enjoy watching your videos. Even my 5 year old son enjoys watching them! Thank you for being very family friendly! I would give my left arm for a weekend to be able to fish with you! God bless my friend.

This is the best fishing channel on KZfaq it doesn't get better than this

Thank you soooooooo much! I just moved from the blackhills of south dakota to southern Illinois and I kept watching gar take my lures like a dog with a bone and then I couldn't set it... you are a life saver! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I’d seen you catch gar accidentally, Richard; I never imagined that you’d ever go hunting for them. That rope trick was fascinating; thanks for sharing. David

That's exactly how my sons and I catch gar down here in Texas.

I did this many years ago with my dad using nylon clothes line string. I met two gentlemen on the TENNESSEE River with Gar fishing club shirts near Spring Creek. They claimed they eat “Gar Balls”, cut out the back strip of the gar and boil in water till done, then mix with mashed potatoes and form a ball and deep fry. Delicious! Go get em Richard Gene! You the man!

Ive never seen a fisherman with so much knowledge its been a week since i started following this man and he is truly one of the best KZfaq fishing channels on this platform im surprised he doesnt have more followers

When he pulled that rope out I knew what he was doing but I’ve never seen it done ! Very interesting ! And honestly that looks a whole lot more fun than using a hook ! I’d have to try that one day in my life time. Thanks for the video! Loved it !

I don't ever leave comments but watch all ur videos, your awesome!!!!

I love watching your videos because I learn something new but I watch some more because of your personality and how much you enjoy fishing

Richard Gene will NEVER starve !!!

Best thing on KZfaq! This man right here! Thank the Lord for Richard Gene the fishing machine!

The cicadas love it when it’s real hot. I have associated that sound with unbearable heat and humidity. Great video!

Im out on the west coast, never seen a gar before except on youtube. Richard just doesn't get skunked, and I love his attitude. He is having fun.

Oh I just love this one Richard, you know how to catch anything in the water.

This guy is the Ernest of fishing. "Hey Vern...."

Them furry four legged albino gar will make that drag scream just like Elmo mashing his thumb in the screen door.

Man I'm watching this and I've never fished a day in my life. What a dope video. Richard seems full of knowledge. 👍🏽

I jave lobed my whole lofe thinking these fish was only catchable by snatxhing them this was so helpful. Your the man#!!

These videos make me very happy ! I just wish I could go fishing in Elmer’s boat .

As always Richard, another entertaining, informative video. Well done my friend! In Louisiana nearly 50 years ago, we would do something similar only we used a wadded up piece of old torn panty hose with a piece of red yarn to tie it and left a 3 inch piece of it dangling on each side as an attractant. I like the rope much better, it makes a more realistic presentation and we had no choice but to cut the line and sacrifice the panty hose wad. Thank you for all of your efforts in making your wonderful videos.

This guy is the best fisherman I've ever seen

Thank you Richard for the best fishing channel on the web. Actually in the world. I'm so glad you are sharing with us. There's no gar where I am but i still watch. Can't get enough of your videos. Don't ever stop filming. Your videos make my day every time.

that was a pretty neet way to catch gar thanks for sharing your ways of fishing Richard Gene 👍

I love this guy he's hilarious one of my favorite fishermen!

My grandfather showed me that trick when I was a kid fishing on Center Hill and Smith Fork creek. I'd plum forgot it. He would use it when we went North to visit family to catch Northern like and musky. Thank you for jarring my memory

Richard....You are a great teacher, comedian, counselor, philosopher, all rolled up into one.....Be good to your werman and she'll be good to you!

Gene that's the most amazing thing I ever seen we don't catch far up in Jersey Richard gene u never sease to amaze me

Amazing idea! Thanks for sharing. I’ll be sure to try this next time the gar keep stealing my bait.

This man is the most entertaining on all of KZfaq

Cool video!!! That rope bait is genius!!! Keep the fun and informative videos coming!!!

Very knowledgeable where have you learned all the stuff you know you the man when it comes to fishing. Love you videos

One of the coolest things I’ve seen.

Richard. You light up my day, and you help keep my love for fishing alive. I sincerely thank you for what you do!!

I appreciate your vids more than any others Richard. Thanks for sharing knowledge on fishing. Much love!!

Saw this method on River Monsters a while back.. Love that show!

Absolutely Awesome method Brother 👍🏻 loved the albino dogfish on the end🤣🤣 Awesome video as always Richard Thanks again!!!!

You are growing on me sir! Cant seem to get enough of ur videos

cool little trick. Would love to sit and drink some beer with this guy and listen to him tell stories.

First video of yours that I have watched. I have to say, nice Chuck Taylor's. Great video too.

"Shew it stinks" got me! Hahaha

WOW all I can say is WOW I’ve never seen anything like that. Good video Mr Richard. Looks like fun to me.

ducking Legend right here folks. You the man Richard.

Hahahahaha Elmos gar rage was the best thing I've ever heard

Thought it was turtle man at first 😂 but great video 👌👍

You need your own fishing channel on tv. I’d watch the hell out of it

What a genius and experienced angler. Never believe you can do fishing without a hook. Thank you for sharing!

Wondering how I would explain a hairbrush in my tackle box to my wife??? Another great video.

*Sees a video from the fishing machine* (0.0002 seconds later) CLICKS ON THE VIDEO 😎

Just tried this method for the first time after losing massive amounts of bait to schools of gar - boy was I surprised when it worked on the first cast! Made a believer out of me. Now I’m off to buy some rope and a good hairbrush

i occasionally see gar around here in montreal, i can't wait to try this out! thank you!

I saw a documentary about the Amazon and they used gobs of spider webs and kites to catch a smaller version of a gar. Great Vid, thx

Awesome video, I would have never guessed. Put a hook in that bait and I bet it would work on largemouth and Stripers.

Thanks a million! You save my trip and money! Who knew you can catch fish without a hook. Tried it and caught em gar!!! ❤❤

Awesome fishing there. Like that you release them. They are some legendary native species of fish.

Just saw this one I used the same technique when I was a youngin

Me and my wife love watching u..it's like watching dad catch dinner lol. Gooood fishing SUBSCRIBED👍

Never seen this in my life! Wow! I catch gar using chicken heart. Very cool!

One of the most enjoyable videos that I've watched in quite some time .

The 1st time I ever heard about this technique in Texas I thought the people were full of shit. Then I realized I was in Texas so it had to be true. 😀 Glad to see this actually works.

I feel like my local tiger Muskie would go crazy for these with a couple hooks.

Richard Gene you are no longer a fishing machine. You are a fishing legend. Thanks for the video and good fishing.

Just started watching your videos and I have never laughed so much watching someone fish !! !! You are the man !! Keep 'em comin' !!

Mr gene!! How about you and kayak catfish link up and fish together. He fishes the Tennessee river to and watches your channel too..im tryin to get him to do me a goldfish video but he says id have better luck gettin u to do it because them goldfish expensive

Down here in Louisiana they are pretty good eating!

I’m impressed! Never seen this. Heard of other techniques. I will try this. Always great stuff Richard Gene. A sport second to none is absolutely correct!

we have a lot of spotted gar in Ohio creeks and rivers and I use this technique just to see if it work the only thing I did different was I use a black nylon rope instead of a white one. Mr Gene the fishing machine, it works! It was absolutely amazing! another good fishing that I can add to my book. I've been watching you for a few months now and I've learned so much and I've been sitting all my life. Thank you sir you have truly blessed me I caught more fish is summer then I have in a long time thank you

Nothing wrong with a Tilly hat, I have had mine 13 years.

Me: grabs rope tells wife im going fishing...😎 Wife: I hate you...😒 Me: thanks...🏃

I love it when I see something I've never seen before. Thanks Gene!

Richard Gene is the fishing machine !

“Get all the rope out of his little teeth fish !” Lol

I buy my rope lures on eBay. Yes, I'm lazy I admit it. 🤣

Richard, I love your videos. Keep up the great work! much enjoyed.

Learned a new word today! "Practize" Thanks Rich!

This is one of the best down home trick I’ve ever seen! Thanks for sharing

God a mighty this man makes me miss my pops so much! Awesome video man.

Absolutely amazing..thanks

Thanks, Richard Gene, for another awesome video! Can't wait for the next one!

THAT'S THE COOLEST IDEA OR TACTIC I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!

Great video, thanks for the step by step on making the lure.

For sure that was the prettiest gar I have ever seen.

My home state of Arkansas has some gar that are unbelievably massive. 200+ pounders as long as a full grown man. I was bass fishing the Black River one day with white spinner baits and the gar ran me and my friend off the water. No matter where we went along the river, the gar were there, destroying our baits. A spooky, powerful fish. Love RGTFM!
