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🤣🤣🤣🤣

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

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

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!

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'.

“It’s makes me nervous when my Wife screams at me!” 😂

I appreciate your channel and what you do and your support for veterans. I enjoy watching your videos and pick up some really good tips. Thank you!

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

I found your channel a couple of weeks ago. I have to say, I really enjoy all the good advice, tips, and years of experience you bring all of us. I enjoy your commentary and what you stand for. God Bless

Great show Elmo, so glad you could take Richard Gene crappie fishing with you. I really appreciate the information. I grew up fishing with my Dad and have learned a lot over the years. And still learning from Richard Gene. Again great show and GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

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!!

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

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.

Always a treat to see your program,, there’s never a show that I haven’t enjoyed with the utmost!! And that’s a fact,, not an opinion...

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

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.

ELMO!!! great vid yet again!! Soooo much learned here all the time! Keep'em coming! I would sooooo love to fish that fishery in that area one day. But, they's plenty of crappy right here in good ole Texas! I love to find crappie with my livescope and then apply your methods. So much fun.

I’ll said it once and I’ll say it again the outtro is the best on KZfaq!!!!! Awesomeness!

Good video as always Richard, wish we had crappie like that in the Cape Fear River. You are right He made it for us!!

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.

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.

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

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 don't know how many videos of yours I've watched Richard but I love em all. Thanks for the fishin brother

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

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

Richard, I'll say this I have never had any interest in subscribing to a youtube page and get blown up with notifications. That has changed today. Keep the videos rolling bub, makes my down time so much better.

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!

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 again for your fun videos..as you say..”They’re second to none”. I Love the “Thump” Fish On🎣. God Bless

Fishin is THE Greatest sport on Earth! It is not doesn't get any better than that!! Most informative and wildly entertaining! Thanks Richard Gene!!

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

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.

Glad you got on some after I left. Good to get to see you on the water. 🎣🎣🦌🦌

Richard, I sure to enjoy your videos. I remember when my daddy and my brother and me would go fishing for crappie. Thank you Sir and those was some big slabs!! Elmo!!!

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

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

i wanna say thank you for your channel i know this video is out dated but your content is so great, alot of information that other will no give. enjoy hope for many more tight lines

Nice video Richard. I’ve learned an awful lot about fishing for crappie from your videos. With what I’ve taken from you I’ve been rewarded a state citations for catching a black crappie 18 inches, 2.7 lbs. Thank you sir.

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.

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

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

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

I enjoy your videos. You sound like a wonderful person and you are full of knowledge and experience. Thank you for sharing

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

Your simply the best all around fisherman, and your right no other sport can compare to fishing it's the top sport in the world more people fish than watch other sports, you keep doing what you're doing Richard you are the fishing machine.

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

I love it Richard Gene, I love it. God bless!

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. 🙂

Thanks for the great video Richard. Lots of good looking crappie. Can't wait to get out there and catch some myself but this tides me over til then. Thanks again.

God bless you brother, I haven't seen 50-60 degree water in at least a month and a half. Sittin here twiddlin my thumbs just waitin for some ice to set up. Then I can chase those crappies! In the mean time, I can watch you take care of things.

New to fishing at 74 years old and Richard Gene’s videos are the best......thanks Richard !

Love you, your channel and fishing in general!!! Merry Christmas and God bless!! Chuck Knight from Buffalo, Texas. 👨‍🌾✝️🙏🖖☃️

Love your show and your Alabama shirt and hat being from sand mountain but live in Illinois the last 45 years keep it up god bless

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

Love your videos they are a great enlightenment on a rainy day or any day. Got to go fix my truck today tie rod broke backing boat in driveway😒😀 replacing rack n pinion OH BOY as always great video Merry Christmas my friend
