I miss the days that me and my dad would go fishing, even if we didn't get a single bite. I had him and he had me. God Speed and RIP pops.

“It makes me nervous when my wife screams at me” that little clip had me laughing so hard🤣🤣🤣🤣

You see brainless people getting rich from videos where they catch nothing. This is the man should be getting the payouts! The random humor and wholesomeness is awesome.

I've got to be honest, you are the kind of person I would love to just spend a day fishing with and talking to and learning from.

His commentary makes ya feel like it's jus you and Jim on the boat, no gimmicks no fancy editing and graphics ...absolutely love your videos sir, thank you

Ya know Richard? You’re just good people. I am so glad I found your channel. Thanks for sharing.

It's almost like when Richard Gene is in that boat he is in a kind of church. He sure loves what he is doing and it's fun to watch.

You’re like the grandfather I never had, thank you for your knowledge sir.

The Lord created for us to enjoy.....it’s just that simple. Appreciate you Richard Gene.

Richard, your fishing videos remind me of why I first got in to fishing a long long time ago. It was because it was fun. Competitive fishing can be too, but a lot of times, it puts stress into it that takes the relaxation out and watching you reminds me of what it's actually for. Thank you for that. It would be really great to fish with you. Even more than any great and famous tournament guys.

My pop is a retired carpenter and avid fisherman. His hands were as nasty as 80 grit sandpaper. I've noticed early videos you have those same rough and cracked hands. But now I see they are looking better. I know what that signifies and I am so very happy for you, Richard.

Have you ever noticed how people who are really truly professionals at something can make every little detail look so easy? Mr. Gene does it in every video. I love watching for that very reason. He is the Tiger Woods of Southern fishing. Smoooooth. And very humble. Thanks Mr. Gene for sharing these videos!

I recently bought a 6 foot Eagle Claw ultralight rod based on your recommendation during your livestream. Paired it with a Shimano Syncopate reel. $75 for the rig and it instantly became one of my favorite setups. Casts tiny lures a mile. Thanks, Richard!

Richard Gene, I’m really glad God put you on His beautiful green Earth! Because of your generous spirit I learn a lot from you!

Not comparing you based on age at all, but the way you talk when you fish reminds me of my grandpa. Same EXACT sense of humor and same sense of appreciation of the great outdoors. He served honorably in WW2 and he's the one who got me into fishing. We shared many amazing fishing trips together before the Good Lord took him home. When I think about him and start missing him I come to watch your videos. Keep doing what you do, sir.

I'm a simple man. I see a Richard Gene video, *I click.*

Richard I just gotta say I was never a very good crappie fisherman until I started watching your videos and using your techniques and equipment. I'm a die hard Abu Garcia fanatic so I strictly use their rods and reels, but I love that I have easily doubled the amount of crappie I've caught this year than any other year! Thanks Richard!!

Your videos are truly a breath of fresh air. I know what you mean when you talk about pausing to enjoy the scenery, I often find myself doing the same thing and enjoying God's great creations.

Phenomenal job Mr.Gene,I always post this before I finish watching your videos only because I’m never ever disappointed 👍🏾

I was about to go to sleep....BUT sleep can wait now.

Said it before, saying it again, watching you fish, watching you be mindful of the creation and beauty puts a soul at peace. You're the best part of social media. I appreciate you and thank you for teaching me how to fish and enjoy boating at 58 years old. My first fish, crappie, I caught, was from your guidance.

Richard, I appreciate your humor, southern accent, and your thoughts of what fishing is all about! So glad I found your channel. Keep mak'n videos!

Great video! Couldn’t agree with you more about the beauty of fishing and it’s surroundings. Great to see a gentleman like yourself still appreciating the simple joys in life. Keep up the great videos!

Richard something I learned probably 40 years a go was to rub a new jig body on a crappie that was in the live well. I guess it neutralized the factory smell. Dad and I were fishing and every time an old jig would get torn up it would take a while to start catching on a new jig body. If I rubbed my new jig body on a crappie it'd work immediately. If they made scent sprays back then we didn't have them. I still have the Lowe boat w/ white Johnson 40 in the basement that we were in that day.

Love your support of all our veterans. I am a female angler and have been wanting to learn to catch crappie. Will continue to watch

The lord created this for a reason and that is for us to enjoy! Amen!

Just stopped in to like the vid, love watching and learning from you Richard!!

8:38 hilarious richard gene is the perfect example of a guy in the south fishing and chilling as soon as I heard your accent richard I fell in love with you and your stuff

I love how you appreciate the little things around you,that's how my dad fished and showed me how to see it that way,love what you do sir

Absolutely love to watch your videos! You’re a true fisherman, just enjoying the sport and being in God’s beauty. Keep up the good work brother!

What a wonderful southern spirit this gentleman has. He is a tribute to the southern folk from whom he sprang. I'm sure his mama is real proud of how he turned out and how much love he spreads into the world.

Richard Gene, I live in West Salem Oh, Dad was from Cullman Al, hope to make it to lake Gunerville some day. You are so down to earth, just love your show, God Bless.

"It's all about comin' out here!" Thanks for sharing your experience & knowledge & love of the fish & sport.

Caught 22 crappies on thanksgiving after all the eating; thank you Richard!

Richard, you are a wealth of knowledge, but most importantly you have a great perspective on life. Best wishes!

I tried your slow reeling technique today in Lake Norman before the rain came in and sure enough it’s just a thump and then you got them. Thank you for your videos sir. Your enthusiasm and positivity keeps me motivated to get out there when I can. Hope you had a great thanksgiving. God bless you brother.

Absolutely love all the shows. Haven't been able to get out there fishing like I'd like, so these shows take me there since I was a youngin'.

You truly are a fishing machine, and the entertainment value is unparalleled, thanks for helping this dude here learn a little bit more about swamp donkeys. Best fishing channel out there.

Love the video, Richard. The fun thing in watching this is you know your stuff. You know what kind of fish you got when they strike, something my grandpa taught me in lower Minnesota when I was little. Be a thrill to fish with you someday.

Richard love your videos no matter what your fishing for. Keep making them.

Just discovered your videos. Just started fishing again after years. I have learned so much. Really enjoy watching.

Nothing like watching a man do what he loves to do. We all feel your joy brother !

This is the first video I've seen of your channel and I subscribed less than 5 minutes in. Great content!

I am addicted to this channel , It's the only one I've turned notifications on. The apparel looks great. I'm going to check that out. I would love to see a " Fishin' with Elmo" or some kind of slogan stickers, " Fishin' cuz it's good fer yah!" . This man works hard for his views.

Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please. Richard your a wealth of knowledge.

Was awesome watching this my cousin told me about you and you sir are salt of the earth!

Richard Gene. GOD bless you and your family. I thank GOD for you posting videos to help us catch fish.

I went fishing for the 1st time two days ago. I love it. Right now I wish I had been on that boat with you so I could keep those fish to put in my freezer. 🙂

The legend gene the fishin machine! You should do more ads! Your the only person who makes GOOD fishing videos and you deserve much more! We the followers won’t mind more ads to bring in more income! I’d watch an hour of ads to see 20 secs of Elmo!!!

Man, I'm so glad I stumbled on this channel. What an entertaining guy.

STUNNA this a man's only peace of mind rite here👍👍😂😂😎😎

It’s amazing that you can tell by the tug that what’s at the other end is a crappie or bass! Amazing!

Thank you for acknowledging that God made the beautiful lakes and rivers full of fish for mankind to enjoy. You enjoy what was made for you Richard. Love your videos brother

It’s nice to see you catching crappie Richard. If anyone is doing any good it’s gonna be you 👍

You're a good man, Richard. I pray for health and prosperity for you. Thank you for sharing.

Just found Richard Gene... My new favorite!!!

Loved your video, keep up the good work!

Dude this information is gold. Thank you for helping me become a better crappie angler.

Great video Richard thanks again Richard for your videos God Bless you and your family

I usually catch crappie by accident, caught them on all sorts of stuff but I'm trying to learn how to target them. There's a little local crappie tournament coming up. I like and appreciate your videos!

Got to love this man.

Richard you're one of my favorite youtubers. Keep putting out the awesome down to earth content!

Thank you Richard for your channel - keep it up, Sir!
