Richard I really injoy watching you. I retired 2 years ago and I am fishing all I can now. I never fished with jigs,I'm learning how by watching you, and I am injoying it. You are a good fishing buddy. God bless you and keep on being my friend

Wish everyone would let the big ones go. These scope guys are killing the population

Thanks Gene. That big ole A didn't have anything to do with it. 😂

Richard. I am a new follower and can’t get enough of your videos. Best fishing videos and thoroughly enjoy them. I have NEVER followed anyone for any reason until I found this channel. Keep up the great videos and very interesting info.

I love these folks. Big heart to spread knowledge to fellow fishermen, women.

Richard I have the same ADRELOGON problem u have at times! Only cure I’ve found fir it is to fish the sport that’s second to none! ❤

When fishing with light line what happens to the fish when line breaks?

I think there should be fishing kits that come with your Lil scissors and super glue

Bass will absolutely destroy live helgamites. I love to fish with them. That and Catawba worms and salamanders. Best bass baits ever

When going fishing I thought you're supposed to use a fishing pole. So technically not even fishing just netting. Doesn't seem like any kind of sport or any fun. You must be lazy

Size 10 hook 🪝 with the smallest weight leave the button smacked to pull the line out before setting the hook 😊🎣❤️

"Don't set the hook, just start reeling." *30 seconds later, sets hook* 😂

I never thought or heard about fishing for Catfish under docks . Thanks for sharing this information.

What I love is, he’s happy with any fish he gets. He also doesn’t keep cussing at a fish just because it got off the hook. Try an amazing man

I feel Richard can catch any Crappie in anywhere with any types lure. but none of them works me.

Up to 355k now 9 months later!

Never disappointed with with your videos!

All ways enjoy your trips , you got me to using smaller gear , out pan fishing hung a cat on 4 pound and a light rod 10 minutes to just see it , I laughed and thought of you put no one to see I was all alone , God Bless Keep it up

I went out a couple weeks ago with my dad and we hit the crap out of bluegill with mealworms! I swear by mealworms, bluegill eat them up! Great day out with the old man for sure🤙🏻

I laughed so much in this video.

Mr Richard can I get some advice? New to fishing TN River. I want to just get after some pan fish. Every time I get a bite I try to set the hook and I never get em? Am I ripping too hard? Also will you ever make a filet video on how to filet some bluegill and others?

Do you have merchandise that you sell?

Another great video Mr.Gene love the catfishing videos an thanks for the new techniques I've never thought about skipping the docks for cats but it makes perfect sense thank you an please keep the cat vids a coming

Let them go Let them grow. Cpr

Wedging the stick in his mouth was absolute genius lol... All great catches!!!

Love the videos!! Where do you get the gold/chartreuse hair jig?

Richard, I fished Bass tournaments for 26 years. You're the Best I've seen!!! Really enjoy watching you buddy! Roll Tide Roll!!! From Iowa

I never met a perso who fished that I didn’t like and I like your videos because they are informative and you eat the fish and share, also watch the hog vids

I’m concerned about input on this video about Donald Trump? It questioned about nobody is above the law? I guess Joe Biden is above the law, and Donald Trump isn’t? The left never gives up I guess? Well good will win in the end? No matter who’s name it’s in. Piss on the left!!

Where is he fishing?

The Alabama king of fishing,stick um Richard!!

I've learned so much from your videos over the years. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Yours is one of the best channels on KZfaq, without a doubt!

That looked like fun! I like that method! Have you ever seen cajuns catch cats in buckets?

What he said before the end of the video….. REALEST EVER SPOKE!!!✊🏾

Now listen here…. I’ve seen sharpshooters with pistols and rifles. I’ve seen Master Archers and many other types of expert and very skilled and PRECISE individuals at their particular trade or activity… But when it comes to this man’s namesake, I have not discovered any thing more accurate or Precise of a description!! He more than lives up to this title, fore, He is every bit of it! 😉🫵🏾✊🏾

Let them go let them grow. Cpr

Hey Richard Gene.....love your vids! I have a question....do you ever bend your hook barbs down?

I’ve done a similar pattern. I also try and find docks with fish cleaning stations with boats that get used regularly

Richard is a Blessing! I get tickled though, he looks like when he put the cigarettes down, he picked up the Little Debbie’s!!!

Thank you Richard for sharing You're videos. God Bless you and your family always my friend 🙏

What would you say is the best tasting catfish species?

@RichardGeneTheFishingMachine in a river bend where is the best spot to fish it??

How many rods ya got? I'm guessin 375

Richard, LOVE the videos. Thank you for putting these out. What would be great is a video/chart that summarizes how you fish crappie in each month! That would be an awesome video.

Thanks for the specs on your tackle. Crazy cool.

Whoo hoo. There's big fish in that water.❤

Shellcracker hybird bluegill. I've heard it all now. Yeah I'm jealous. Dog gone it...don't catch em all. Nice fishing. Thanks for the vids. Willie T.

I wish every time you caught a fish and I mean every time you would call it what it is. Not just a nice fish, unless you're going to start kissing them. Really appreciate your videos. Pan fish are my favorite. Thanks a million. And don't catch em all. Willie T.

I grew up on Lake Erie in Port Clinton Ohio and I've eaten all kinds of fish, but I've never had bluegill. I just never tried targeting them for food. Typically we would catch walley, perch, catfish or crappies and sometimes bass or white bass. My grandfather used to smoke carp as well and they were delicious. How do bluegill compare to walleye for table fare?

God is great. Thanks for the video and inspiration.
