I hope you realize how much those of us who don't get to fish nearly as much as we would like live vicariously through your videos. And your explanations of technique are, to use your words, "second to none". Thanks again Richard

Richard has the best fishing show!! There are hundreds of fishing shows on the utube, but Richard takes the cake. No nonsense, techniques, fishing, and entertainment!!

Ain't nothing I mean nothing like watching a crappie take a float under! Thanks RGTFM and God bless all!!!

I’ve never had anyone to teach me how to fish and these videos are so helpful!

I had a good day today, Richard. I caught a 15 1/2 inch, 2.1 lbs. crappie. 2nd biggest of my life…They!

Richard Gene, great video, your fishing show is as good as any pro show produced, great entertainment and educational

Thank you, Richard, for another great fishin trip. Ain't nothing better than live bait, and watching that cork go under. There is one thing better, taking a kid or grandkids and watching them do it. God blessed you with the knowledge to fish, and better, with the ability to teach and pass on that knowledge. God bless ya'll for all you do for us. Ya'll stay safe out on the water.

That was fun, this video takes me back 30 years when I was in middle school and we'd have a tutorial on a subject matter and then go on a field trip. 👍

I know a lake in Ohio that at a depth of less than a foot I was slaying them!!!!!!!!--this old 75 year old grandma!!!!!! people get out on the water and fish!!!!!! God gave it to ya now use it.💗💗✝✝

Richard thank you so much. My notes are up to the ceiling now from watching your videos. I think I'm writing notes more than I'm fishing.

Richard you have met your calling! Loved the time you took to show us your set up. The bonus is you took it out on the water and showed us how deadly that technique works. I hope you share some more of your technique in some more videos. If you teach a man to fish you can feed him for life. God bless you!

This guy has the passion for crappies my dad had... I remember being 10 years old and watching him hook a 4# crappie, then a 3.25# crappie back to back... The 2 biggest crappies I've ever seen in my life... I learned about catch and release that day... Which there wasn't much of in the early 80's... It was just catching on with bass fishing, at that time.

Awesome Video Sir . I love bobber fishing for crappie , bream or even catfish. It takes me back when I was a kid and fishing with my Dad.. Stay safe Sir and Keep’em coming.. WOOOO

Slab Daddy's! Great info. Thanks Richard!

Buddy I absolutely love watching your videos!! I’ve learned a whole lot about crappie fishing especially !! Thank you so much!!!

God bless you brother i loved the show as always

Thanks for the diy bobber stop tutorial! I thought I was the only person on the planet that had problems with the store bought ones.

Thanks for teaching me how to rig that slip bobber, crappie fishing tomorrow 🥲, WOOOOO !!!!

Simple as it gets! Good video

That push mower got me excited!!! Almost mowing season and I absolutely love to mow!!! It's very relaxing 😌 😎 another EPIC video Richard

I have just found your channel sir but I have been fishing roughly half of my life (I am 26 years old) yet I still very much like a newbie when I watch fishing tip videos because I learn so much and your channel is the best I have found. You explain things thoroughly, I mostly am stuck pond/bank fishing but I still have been taking notes! Thank you sir! Appreciate you!

Thnx Gene..love ya man.

Uni bobberstop is going to help my steelhead fishing too. Thanks!

u gona LOVE my floats when they get here in 2 weeks.., mr Machine!

Thanks for the video! I may never be able to get outside to catch a Crappie, but watching you videos is the next best thing. P.S. I subscribed as soon as I read your verse from Ephesians. Lord Bless.

Thanks for the slip knot trick, I'll definitely be using it. Good to see you again..

Best dude ever!

This is the best bober stopper method I have ever heard of thank you thank you

Thank you for the blessing

That looked like coy sipes on that dock wooooooooooo!!!

Richard , great video, you are a great teacher, thank you so much.

What a great tutorial! I’m more of a hands on learner though! I need to come do that in person! 😂

Some people just don't know what it's like just being happy. Catch and release is the best happiness there is. (Woo) You can eat a fish once and he's gone. You can catch an release and catch again. (Woo) Pure happiness

You the man 👍🐟

Thank you Richard, super great info and video! God's blessings always! 😇

Hi Mr. Richard. I really appreciate your demonstration on how to setup this rig, and especially showing it in action. Another great fishing outing and great video. Thank you and keep them coming. God bless to you and your family.

🙂Great videos Richard, you are always sharing your knowledge and experience which can lead to better catching. Suggestion, frequently you refer to shad-bait fish, maybe you have already done so but could you do a vid on how or where you find these critters in a big river system such as the Tennessee,

The best fishing channel on youtube God bless you and have a great day on the water

Another great video from the man the myth and the legend, keepum coming my friend!

Best crappie teacher

I caught some red eyes and a cotton mouth while I was watching good ole Gene, lol. Great video as usual. Thanks buddy

Goodun Richard

Love to watch the fishing machine I learn a lot

Think i just found my new fishing channel, much love and respect Keep Fishing

Caught 3 huge crappie today, First ever for me 🔥 Great day on the water

THANKS!

Always enjoy your videos and there is nothing like watching a crappie pull a bobber under, Headed to Tenn. in April to visit family on the river. Stay safe!

For fishing deeper, I like the little rubber football bobber stops. They till hang up on the cast, but not as much as the string knots. As long as the line is wet, they can be slid up and down the line, if need be. They come on a kind of wire spider, where the legs have a loop the you pass the line through and pull the footbal off the wire onto the line. And they come in different sizes for different weight lines. Thanks for the video. Very informative and fun to watch.

Another great video, Richard!

You are awesome brother, love watching your videos.. you makin me wanna get out there now lol.🤣

Thank you sir. God bless you.

I need to get out there n fish with u Richard! Love your videos.

Richard!!!

Absolute respect and admiration for the Machine.

You did it again😊

Cool idea

I’ve always loved watching you reel in the crappie I like how you lower your drag and enjoy the fight. So many “fishermen” nowadays just tighten the drag and reel them in. In my opinion that’s not what fishing is about it’s about enjoying your time. You want to feel the fight and live in the moment not just try to crank the fish in as fast as you can I’m almost 21 years old and I’ve learned a tremendous amount of knowledge about fishing from you Richard tight lines thank you

I wanna go fishing with Richard Gene the fishing machine C'mon 🎉

Keep teaching and God bless

Thank GOD for RGTFM and our feet. I am disable but when I see these guys with no legs, I thank GOD for mine. Great video, my favorite fish. Looking for the bobber drop.

Thanks for the setup crappie tip 🎊🎆🎉🔥🏆🏅🥇🚀🎇👍🏾🎣👋🏾🌟🧨💣🌋💥

Sounds like Bobby from king of the hill 😂. Love the video man. I learned something!

I use the same hooks. Have for years and they are great for big minnows.

Im old. I've been crappie fishing 60 years. Richard Gene knows it well. I've seen crappie do some strange things. Hit on the left side of a 1 foot stump, nothing on the right. Lazy. Best eating fillets to me. Good Luck to All.

Hey man it's crappie time!!!!

That is the best crappie hook agreed and same design #8 for trout

Was you fishing any kinda structure?? Love all your videos, so informational. Thank you sir

Great video, great tips Richard. How far up on the main line did you tie the uni knot to act as a bobber stop?

I have gotten hungry watching you catch and release,we catch and get the grease,brake bread,lol

I like the mr crappie cam shaft hooks or offset hooks

Thanks!

You’re the best

Already scheduled and booked my annual trip for the crappie spawn .

Man its crazy i was just wasting your old crappie fishing videos and i was like i hope he makes one soon and boom ! RGTFM strikes again boys!

I like Cajun line as well. For the money it works great. I use it ice fishing outside and you can see your line great against the white snow/ice and detect the slightest bite. Thanks for the videos. Rgtfm

good video

Mister Gene, how about a bait runner spinning reel for live bait fishing? Keep your main drag set so you're not distracted with that and a fish? Your way works, just a thought.

You said catching those big slabs made you want to scream! Well, watching you RELEASE them made me want to scream!

I love that you you release big crappie so I can put them in my live well. Release in the grease2024

How do you locate fish on these flats?? God bless you Mr. and Mrs. Gene!!

I use the store bought ones. I can’t see to tie a uni knot anymore

Wow you are the best! Where would you recommend fishing in AL?

Mr Richard I am new to Crappie fishing. Will spawning Crappie bite minnows while they are spawning? Thanks. Scott

Aberdeen style 4, 6, and 8 hooks in various colors are my go to hooks for bream and crappie. I have taken largemouth up to 7pounds, catfish to 4-5 pounds and carp to 17 pounds with those hooks useing 4 pound test line.

Those tube knots and the little rubber stops will hang up on the eyelets and have you fishing a totally different depth than you think you’re fishing and thinking the bite has shut off. If I’m slip corking then I’ve got a jig bouncing somewhere to hone me in on depth. This time of year around where I fish in the afternoon until around 5 the fish are 8-12 feet deep then they come up to 2-6 feet deep all night and as the day breaks again they’ll be down 8-12. When I flip my door up in the middle of the pier and fish the center of the 24x22 dock I’ll catch some around 2-4 feet deep in the middle of the day. Love catching them crappies, love em love em love em. Ain’t another fish that compares to crappies, not even close. Catfish run second but it’s not a close second

Hey good afternoon sir I was wondering if you could maybe tell me where is this boat ramp located at? I’m from Alabama as well ! Love you’re videos man keep up the good work

Richard, I found your channel several months ago and I just want to tell you that I really appreciate your content. You remind me of crappie fishing with my dad. I like how detail oriented your content is, and your wholesome personality. Please keep it coming, sir!

Teal slabs there, Richard

What brand slip cork were you using in this video?
