Bro- where can I get a small plastic lure like that?

THOSE GILLS ARE ON STAIRROIDS😂😂😂😂

Catfish love to eat tuffie minnows when you are crappie fishing too, I went crappie fishing and ended up catching 34 channel cats instead.

Gene's definition of beauty: "short, fat, and dumpy" :D

"There's a yacht. The SS Minner is comin' by." :D

My brother, I love fishing for bluegill and you couldn’t have explained it better. I’m going to get myself. One of them 9 foot poles super sensitive. I’m one fancy fly ride reels. My friend, I was going to get me some of them bait. Go on the Internet. It’s about time here in Illinois. And the way you finished it God bless God bless you, brother. And all fisherman around the world amen.🙏 and take them grandkids, fishing, girls and boys. You’d be the best. Papa in the world out there and get it done.🙏🙏🤠🤩

does it stink gene.

Great video Richard, What model number is that Buck's pole

Best spooling video on RU-vid hands down.

lol, fun

Your welcome and thank you

I watch you every time you post. And I still don't know who you do it, you catch more fish in a hour than I do in a weeks time. Tell the truth your fishing for 20 hrs or better and editing down. I go out for bluegill, and end up with 4 inchers..

"4 or 5," he says. Psh! I could eat a dozen on my own... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'd show them battered & fried li'l devils who's boss right quick!😋😋😋😋😋😋🍽🍽

Woooo

Learn something on every video! You are so experienced in this sport of fishing. I am so glad that you are using your experience to teach others what you know. Helping keep this sport alive!😊

There is just something about going out with some Nano/Micro baits and catching a few panfish or trout that cleanses the mind, body, and soul.

I really like the Sam's rods have one probably 20 years now with a couple more.

Thank you Richard, super info and we love the video! I will give it a try! 😀 ❤👍😇

Thanks for that hint I remember last year in July about 10 days after full moon I found a good bed of them!

You know one day I hope to see you go fishing for bowfin they are a lot of fun to fish for an fight like nothing else in fresh water

My favorite lure for bluegills is a piece of nightcrawler on a hook or Impulses rigged Bloodworm

i love you richard

Thanks so much for your videos you’re the best

You’re basically fly fishing with a mono rig. It’d be fun to see you in a trout stream with this same setup.

Could you put a link where to buy those 1/100th oz sickle hook jigs?

Great video! I hope you caught a good mess for Momma Sue's supper! God bless ALL of us! WWG1WGA

Awesome video buddy and as always not only entertaining but educational too. I learn something every time I watch one

Can't find them baits anywhere

Awesome transparent fillets. Mmmmmmm!

You're the best

Another great teaching video! Thanks Richard!

Thanks so much for this video, Mr. Gene. This 73 year-old really enjoyed it, as Bluegill fishing is my favorite kind of fishing! Here's a short story for you on how my Mom turned me on to Bluegill/Bream fishing over 65 years ago. When I was 8 years old, my Mom introduced me to fishing. We went to the little pond across Austin Drive from where we lived in Gaffney, SC. We dug up some worms from under a big tree near the pond, and Mom cut down a couple of cane poles. She showed me how to attach the line and roll it around the cane pole; how to put an old cork on the line to use as a float, pinch a little BB sized sinker to the line, and tie on a little hook (the hook, line, and sinker were all bought at the local hardware store as this was before the days of the "big box stores"). Then she showed me how to attach the worm onto the hook, and how to softly and smoothly swing the line out to the water, so as not to scare the fish. Later, being the farm girl that she was, she showed me how to clean the catch. That day, she introduced me to a past time that I still enjoy today at the age of 73. She gave me a lifetime of precious memories, this is just one of them!

Best fishing channel period-

Blue Gill and shell cracker Are #1 in their weight class,, We all love crappie but they give up after a few seconds, Bluegill OR Shelle Cracker fight till he's in the boat and still have fight left They bad to the Bonee And My my my Delichious

Thankyou for showing people the importance of fishing and conservation

Hey Richard, the water is up and flowing here in Missouri. You thank its going to be a late spawn for Crappies. I mean wooh,it high water.

Man that looks like a lot of fun 👍🐟

Dang good eating for sure

Ole Man Ricky was very gassy we heard hlm poot

Could of chucked that big bluegill and caught bass or catfish on a dropshot 🙂

I catch them all the time at the harbor house in Guntersville...fun to catch

Glad you started putting them in the cooler, love eating bluegill!

Enjoy your channel!! How about cleaning and preparing your catch? I would love to see some of your processes!

These little crickets surely would work for crappie too correct?

I caught a nice size fish yesterday and yelled out "WOOOO"!!!!! 😂

Good fish'n. Whoo!

Love your video i always learn something

I see a lot of folks rigging there senko this way but I’ve always had better luck wacky rigging mine

Richard, you're the best.
