I just admire that he doesn’t try to sell us a bunch of stuff like most of the other guys. He is truly doing this for the love of the sport.

Hands down one of my favorite UKposts channels...the fishing Machine is the GOAT when it comes to this fishing thing...and he gives great lessons..

Getting to spend a whole day fishing with Richard would be amazing. The knowledge you could soak up would be tremendous.

God bless you Richard, those of us who for whatever reasons don't get to go fishing as much as we would like can live vicariously through your exploits. Thanks for another great video! You are a master teacher when it comes to explaining techniques!

It always warms my heart when you already know you have plenty in the freezer.... And even though it's a SLAB...."Let's let her go!" You continue to set the pace both with harvesting ethics, and day to day living ethics! Much love for all you do in both!!

Richard my names joe heilman. I live up here In fort gratiot Michigan. You've singlehandedly turned me into a crappie fanatic. I've always loved fishing and recent years I was really good at trout walleye perch etc. But crappie seemed yo be the hardest fish to locate daily, seasonally, and especially without a boat in the areas I fish. For darn near 3 years , basically the whole pandemic , I'd watch some of ypur videos and then head out for 1 to 3 days at a time crappie fishing as many spots as I could and grabbing any knowledge of the fish I could. Anytime I ran into a slow period where my usual spots would not produce. I'd watch your weekly video and take the best pointers you had to new spots. Catching more crappie than i ever had. and learning more about fishing in general while doing it. Tha k you for acknowledging God in what you do because I know he's saved my life abs probably will in the future countless times. Good luck in the future and keep up the best crappie fishing l owledge there is on the wide web. Thx

Richard you are the Man when it comes to crappie fishing ! appreciate you taking us along and giving all the tips and tricks !!

Richard Gene, you never fail to inform me, but just as importantly, you never fail to make me smile.

Never a dull moment with Mr. Gene. You'll learn something every time you watch, whether you realize it or not.. Keep up the good work RG..

RGTFM, you got me through the Pandemic, heck you got us all through the Pandemic! I just want to thank you for all that you do, and I pray that you and MaMa Sue are doing great!!

You the Man ! You keep it simple, don’t have to have thousands of dollars worth of equipment, just simple old timers methods with having fun . Thank you Richard, you are truly the fishing machine! You could catch a boat load out of a bucket 🪣 God Bless ! Good Fish , Good Faith and a Goooood Man !

Best fishing page on youtube. Thank you Mr. Gene!

I’ve had some seasonal depression the past couple of months, but your videos motivated me to get out and fish. I’ve fished the past 5 days in a row and had a blast. Thanks for all you do.

I absolutely love all of his videos, I've learned more from watching them than any of the others.He makes you feel like your sitting in the boat with him fishing.

I have watched a bunch of crappie fishing videos over the years and you sir are the best at it with the simple things not all the fancy stuff like livescope and the fancy boats just pure skill

You are a wonderful awesome man. And you happen to be a fisherman. I am glad that I am still subscribed to your channel. I actually haven’t watched your channel for a while. Been working a lot, and in my opinion, your southern drawl when you talk reminds me to stop working so fucking much, and relax a little bit, and get back to what brought you joy. I watched a video of yours on how to set the hook depth for Crappie fishing. Thank you so much sir. (caught a lot of crappies from your wisdom and knowledge) I hope God blesses you profusely. You have a joy inside you that is priceless. You never talk about your life struggles. But like many of us people that have been paying attention to your channel for a while, life struggles are always in somebody’s life. Don’t be ashamed of smoking cigarettes. When you went on that Famous fisherman’s lake that has a Amish haircut, I could hear it in your voice that you were nervous, and just wanted a fuckin’ cigarette. Pardon my French…..I am a tobacco user currently, and I understood and could feel what you were going through. Secretly in my head, I thought it was an honor for the Amish haircut guy to have you on his boat. No joke. Real talk, no squalk…… God bless you brother.

Simple devotion simple living simple fishing simple man is the makings of a good man. You nail all these tight lines Ole buddy

This man is gifted, unlike 99 percent of the wish i could do that commentors....he puts in the work in a year most of u put in 5 years

Crappie is by far my favorite fish to catch/eat. Love these video!

The hands down best fishing videos on UKposts, the most humble and gracious fisherman I know

Was waiting for another crappie video. Im from north Alabama and kind of use your videos as a seasonal cheat code 😅. Thanks Richard! Another banger for sure

I love how you explain things… A lot of people don’t realize how lazy crappie are. They just sit there and wait for something to swim in front of their face. They don’t have to chase shad. They just follow them around and wait for them to mess up and get to close… lol I fish a lot slower now thanks to you. I’ve only been crappie fishing for about 2 years and I’ll be fishing for them for the rest of my life. Great video buddy!

Richard I’m 70 years old and a pretty good crappie fisherman but I have learned so much from watching your videos. You have made me realize how much more I can learn from you and Gods plan for me to be a great fisherman. God Bless you and your family.

Sir your whole philosophy on life and fishing is so refreshing. Thank you.

Your presentation was extremely helpful and provided many laughs. I encourage you to continue. You exude the basic joy of fishing. Blessings to you 🙏

i am so happy that you still here and showing us what you know about fishing and for that i would like to say thank you and God bless you you and one of the best 🎣🎣🎣

Richard, your video library is a Fort Knox of putting food on the table. The knowledge and wisdom you freely share will be immortal.

Richard is for the love of the sport! Very informative and you can see his passion for fishing fun!

I love that this guy actually explains in detail everything about his rod and reel setup. It's so frustrating watching guys catch fish like crazy and not know what the hell they're doing right.

Clear explanation of a simple but effective technique. I like your style, sir. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for taking us along. Love the technique! Woot woot!

Richard! you are truly an inspiration to watch! You can tell you love fishing and are a hoot to watch! Keep up the good videos!

Been my fishing buddy for a few years now and every time you make a video I learn & laugh. Not at ya but with ya! Love it!

You give us the best fishing channel...bar none.....on UKposts. Video after video your content is informative and fun. Love it and keep em coming.

Gotta say thanks for takin us along again. Great video. You are, without a doubt, my bestest most favorite channel. I love it when I see your video pop up. Get ready for some more rain. Here in North central Texas, we are just getting to the end of 4 - 5 days of mostly ice, freezing rain, sleet and snow. Bout enjoyed as much of this as I care to. You know, though, something I heard when I was very young, "if it weren't for the rain, you would appreciate the sunshine." God bless you and your family, my friend, and hope ya'll have a blessed day.

I enjoy your videos and the info that you share. Always very informative and educational.Thanks for everything. Stay safe out there and tight lines.

I sure do depend on Mr.Richard when I am having a rough day! His videos are amazing! The content is second to none. He truly is a blessing to me! Whoooo

Great show, RG! KNOWING the depth of the fish, whether by experimentation or electronics, is just a matter of presentation after THAT. My combo is different brands but same as yours on this video.. I love it so much i bot 1 for my GF, too! She likes presents!

Your videos are some of the funnest, most informative fishing pictures I ever watched.

God bless you for showing us your techniques every time I use them they work u make it easy 👍

More great advice , thanks. One of the most relaxing sounds is the water hitting the aluminum boat.

Love watching your videos. Thanks for putting in the hard work and time!

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Awesome video Sir. Always enjoy your content. Got me excited for spring crappie. Getting my boat worked this weekend. That one crappie had some shoulders on him for sure. God Bless Sir!!

I love it!!! Would love to see more of you hunting the shad before zeroing in on the crappie. What does your graph look like?

Your videos are awesome! Always informative and never boring!

Mr. Richard Gene you’re TRULY a slab crappie fishing machine. I have enjoyed watching your videos over the past few years. I’m definitely a better sacalait catcher because of your helpful tips 👍🏾. Thanks for the AWESOME VIDEOS. God Bless you sir!!!

Not only do I look forward to the fishing, but also the good word of the Lord in the description. Thanks and God Bless you and all you do for us Mr Richard Gene THE Fishing Machine.

Man your the best when it comes to catching and teaching about crappie fishing.

Thank You Richard, I will give it a try soon! You are the best, Gods Blessing Always!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Enjoyed the simplicity. Thanks

Always entertaining and informative Richard! I love fishing with a bobber! its fool proof in a lot of ways!

I love this channel & how Richard teaches which goes to show fishing is not about the most expensive tackle its mostly about knowledge. Richard uses the most basic rod & reels & simple lures. He hardly ever uses his livescope no amount of technology & expensive tackle can compare to knowledge this is crappie fishing at its best. Thank God for Richard Gene that GOAT of crappie fishing!!!

i love to watch you fishing with a float and just a word of advise for you and all the others who make fishing videos. its extremely important for all of us other anglers who fish with a cork to be able to SEE the float when you are getting a bite. a lot of yall just show the retrieve allready in progress after the fish is hooked. please remember this and thanks for showing the float action in this video. i hope other video makers read this. i liked and subbed.

I absolutely love watching this brothers videos I have watched all his videos it’s took me awhile but I have watched them all lol an he has taught me so much about crappie fishing number 1 on UKposts he teaches all of us may his lines be tight an his fish be plenty 🙏

Great video! Always informative and fun to watch

RG has the gift of spreading joy. I’ll listen to him fish when I’m working even tho I can’t watch he just genuinely makes me happy and laugh every single video

That's a fun day of fishing and some useful tips. Thanks for sharing Richard.

I leave every episode smiling. Richard you and Elmo are a HOOT!

This is absolutely the best fishing channel to actually learn something. I wish more of it applied to my Western US fishing, but still, thanks Richard Jean.

I look at many of his videos. He explains always and with humor. WHOA!!!

Great video as usual, sir. Thanks for uploading this. 😀

Thanks for another great show brother god bless you and your family

Richard could catch fish in a bath tub

Thank you, Sir. You're greatly appreciated. I'm up in Ohio, and me and my fishing buddy love your channel. I'm so thirsty for the crappie season to hit.

You are one very few that's a True Angler. Hats off sir.

I love watching your videos on my lunch brakes very informative and relaxing content

Love your personality; great fun watching you

Thank you it's appreciated showing us the tackle that you use

Folks you gotta be from our neck of the woods to know what “rernt” means. He’s my people. Othern being a Tennessee Vol having to see that big ‘A’ on the hat, I can’t find nothing wrong. I discovered the channel a few months ago and subscribed immediately. What’s nice about that is that with all the videos I’m behind on, I get just about an everyday dose of good for your soul fishing fun. And when he goes Elmo, I laugh every time. What a great way to start the day. A scripture reading and fishing with Elmo. Woo.

Brother I absolutely love your channel. You are the King of Fishing Channels in my opinion! God bless you greatly.

enjoyed it man, pretty good stuff

Great video Gene, very informative! Great tips on going tiny and finesse bobber fishing. I was amazed the the fish were up that shallow, especially in the cold water.
