A Simple Way To Catch Crappie With Live Worms 

Folks, thank you so much for watching! It means the world to me so many people are apart of this channel! Just a quick reminder that there is still a lot of scammers pretending to be me in the comments. Any comments claiming you’ve one a giveaway or a prize of some sort is NOT ME. God bless you all!!!

Ain't that's something Mr. Gene I only caught one slab off big red and one big blue gill off a crappie minnows

Yea so Ive been catchin a ton of crappies on neon pink trout magnets. Two best colors for me right now have been pink and gold. Hope that helps someone reading this because it’s been awesome for me.

Best fisherman on the internet no doubt...

My 7 year old and I just went out this evening and got about 10 crappie and 15 big bluegills and he caught his first walleye 🎉 he was happy 😁

Tis live worm season Richard!!!! I caught about 60 Shellcracker on live red worms today at the local lake

Brother you are THE Crappie master!!

I remember catching big crappies on worms when l was a kid ,you Richard are by far the best fishermen out there,God bless you and your family.

Richard, like your videos. Been fishing crappie and other fish for over 50 years, and still tune in when find out about a fishing video. Have fished Fla to Washington State, Montana to Nm and Texas, as well as point in between. Still find things that catch my interest. Only really have one problem, as live in SW NM. It is not catching crappie, can do that. The problem is turned wife on to eating crappie 5 years ago. Then she turned her then 4 yr. old granddaughter onto eating them. Now they dont want to share. I can eat the other fish but leave the crappie alone.

I think Richard is the most knowledgeable expert on Crappie Fishing I have ever heard in my life!

Ive caught crappie on worms this week. Ive even caught them in the winter at depths on nightcrawlers. Ive caught crappie on a fly rod. Ive caught them on my bass setups. They’re voracious feeders. Love crappie!

I can't imagine how many rod and reels this man has

Hi Richard - Can you please do a Video on how you Solo your boat in and out of the water?

Love your vids didn’t know they would bite a night crawler

I’ve used all kind of line fishing for crappie, bluegill, red ear, yellow perch, trout etc. I’ve come full circle and now I use what I started with Berkeley Trilene clear!!!!!

Channel reminds me of the fishing shows I used to watch ask a kid in the 90s simple and to straight to fishing and fishing tip are classic

Your videos are amazing, Congratulations you are a great fisherman!👍🎣🥰 Your fishing was fantastic with beautiful fish. Hug!!!

I want to see how you fillet your panfish and I really want to see Mamma Sue's recipes!! I can't wait for the day that a catch and cook video pops up on your feed.

often wondered why noone used worms for crappie ,i have caught a lot of crappie with worms-good video-god bless

Just went fishin' today here in Gadsden, Alabama and caught several crappie on night crawlers. I thought they were blind crappie...lol. Now I'm watching you talk about fishin' for crappie with worms. WOOOOO!! ROLL TIDE!!! I love your channel Richard Gene.

Hello sir from Ohio. I don’t usually subscribe to many channels at all, but your channel, and this video in particular, got me to click the subscribe button and hit the thumbs up quicker than I ever have any other channel. This is some really great advice here. And believe it or not more fisherman overlook this technique than you could believe. At least more than are willing to admit it 😂. It’s not only because the crappie will at certain times absolutely crush worms, but it also shows a technique that can be extremely productive when anything and everything will just not work. It’s a great technique especially in heavily pressured and overly fished areas. I also use it to land very finicky monster red ears and those bull bluegills. I use it sometimes with micro baits as well when the majority of the folks just aren’t catching ‘em. A great technique with worms, crickets, grubs, and even leeches. There’s a lot of folks in the comment section that are saying things like “Well no crap worms are good for catching fish” and that “crappies feed on anything when their schooled up and hungry” and that may be true. But try this technique when everyone else isn’t catching them left and right. That’s when this technique will absolutely work the best given the right bait on the end of your line. And I have to add that I absolutely loved your perspective and your take on how we have become so reliant on technology and the fact that common sense isn’t needed in a lot of the things we do today. So much of the simple way of life and not overthinking everything we do is just not there anymore. I for one miss it badly. This is a very good video with an even better message behind it. Listening to you talk reminds me so much of my father who is saving a spot for me up where the fish are as big as you say they are, and their always biting. I thank you for that! New sub -R.W Ohio

One time me and my father went fishing at Lake Hartwell in Anderson, SC. He caught some humongous crappie on worms under a bobber! I miss fishing with him. I wish I lived next door to you!

Richard that was probably one of the more unique videos I have seen! Catching crappie on night crawlers! Wow! You were up their like you were teaching a class! Loved it. Catching crappie on night crawlers what technique.

Thanks for the new technique of night crawler You are the GOAT sir.

I expected nothing less, but great fishing and advise from the Fishing Machine. thank you Richard for all you do.

I am semi-retired and new to fishing in a small country town in Wyoming. Last year, I've started purchasing some fishing equipment and only able right now, to fish at 2 local small lakes close to my home. I can only fish by shore and have no boats, etc. Since most of the fish breeds might be: cat fish, crappie, bass, walleye and maybe trout... I'm not sure how well they are stock the lake each year? I currently have 2 spinning reals and a good start of different lures right now. Since I don’t really have to many friends to go fishing all the time... I need to really understand each breed., swimming habits, best type of baits to use and fishing techniques. I came across this first on crappie fishing on RU-vid. I look forward in seeing your other RU-vid channels on other breeds to. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I am also looking forward in April to start fishing again. I had "zero" success last year.

Richard if you get a chance will you fish a drop shot for bluegills? Thanks! You’re videos are always the best.

Thanks again Richard, love your videos.

I just want to say thank you sr you are very informative I really enjoy watching your channel

Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

What else can I say except another outstanding vidio! Thanks for another great fishing adventure and comedy to boot! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY from a fellow fisherman from PENNSYLVANIA!

A for sure seasoned fisherman. I love your vids. Esp how you said how we over analyze which I'm so guilty of. Go Richard Gene The Fishing Machine! Thank you for your knowledge!

Thank you for sharing. I was hoping you would have a crappie video using worms. Because i have caught more crappie or all fish using worms way way more then any thing else. God bless you sir and your whole family...🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀

Hope you and your family are safe from any harm from those storms, sending prayers to everyone down south that needs em

Thank you sir!!!! I've been fishing 🎣 all my life, &still love you learning &me too!!!! Blessings to you and ALL IN YOUR HEART ❤️

Any fish will eat a worm. We love you Richard!

One of the best fishing shows on I really enjoy watching. It’s just good for you🎣

And yet another way to catch crappie that I've never tried! Awesome video, THANKS and GOD BLESS

You get a new camera? Much appreciate your work brother!

I was crappie fishing the other day and caught a 45" inch striped bass. So glad I used a paolmar knot!

This was awesome! God Bless you Mr. Helms

This is truly amazing. A few years ago, this only happened for me one evening! Then never again, in the same lake...

Worms are perfect for this, but, there used to be a Lure that Blue Fox used to make, a small, fat, white grub with legs you could pull off, and a short pink skirt. I used to catch a crappie on just about every cast using it on the Kern river. Those were river crappie, white crappies, in fast water, and it was as much fun as catching trout.

I’ve been catching crappies from worms since I was a kid and still does great clips 👍

I’m a Florida boy too Richard and we still call em Speckled Perch. I also have a lot of Family in Gadsden Al in your neck of the woods.

It's always nice to hear something new about fishing, any fishing, that only experience makes it wise. Thank you for the video.

Thanks, Richard Gene! It's goooooood FER YOU!

Thank you for sharing this Richard! You and Elmer always helping me catch some Crappie!

I rename you Richard Gene The Fish whisperer! Truly a professor in his field! ATB

Richard, I think you could catch a fish out of a glass of water in a resteraunt with a jelly bean. Lol.

That's my secret to your right not a lot of people know about the worm trick stay blessed sir

I get to teach my 11 year old grandson how to bass fish this summer I'm just chomping on the bit but you can just bet we're going to do a whole lot of pan fishing God bless you and yours Richard

Another goodun brother Gene. I've caught Crappie on about everything but a top water rig. I guess if they were hungry enough, they would go after them, too. I still like minnows an small jigs. I love my underspins. Buddy, I hope you have Mamma Sue happy now. I'd sure hate for her to send you back for more, she might put some of them pop knots on yer noggin. Brother, I hope you know how much we enjoy and appreciate these videos. God bless you and your family, brother, and have a blessed day.
