Catching BIG Catfish With Flapper Shad! How To Cut / Rig 

If you're interested in The Knife Here is The Link: www.wallacehandmadeknives.com/ Richard Gene Shirts and Hats Here: taylordtee.com/ Thank you everyone for watching as always. God bless and have a good 'ern!

Never a bad video, honestly probably one of the best angling channels out there. Flathead or blue, either one will do 👍

Way to go Richard Gene you crazy Fishing Machine!!! I've loved fishing ever since I was little, 5ft 5. I'm 5ft 6 now and love it even more. WOO!!!

Who needs cable when you got the fishing machine here. This is hands down the best fishing channel, i watch the outdoor fishing channel and the bass shows are so edited with music and close up slow mo and all i cant get into it. This man gives me the itch i love fishing i have a jetjon i use and i had forgotten about free swimming live bait mannnnnnn you talking about fun. You the man Richard i showed my dad an episode he didnt say anything until the end and then he busted out laughing lol God bless you Richard Gene the FIshing Machine!!!!!!!

Great catfish Richard. I went out Tuesday evening and caught a few myself. Landed a 16lb blue cat, and my new personal best, a 35lb 9oz blue cat ! All on 20lb test line ! Keep those videos coming, really appreciate all that you do to promote the sport of fishing.

Another good show sir, & I thank ya. My son sent a link to me the other day, & it was you minnow fishing around the bridge pilings. I kinda chuckled, punched him out a message, telling him that I had just watched it a couple days previous. I'm glad to know that he has found you (I'm sure that I have forwarded a show or 2 of yours in the past). You do a mighty fine show, & I'm jealous of how nice & tidy your boat is. Housekeeping in a boat is very important for safety and efficiently. Tight lines to all.

20 mins awesome machine!!! Look forward all week. WOOOO!!!

Gosh, Richard. Up here in Washington state they don't know all those old sayings and terms. I laugh sometimes. A lady was telling me about some BBQ at a party she went to and I asked her, "Was it any count?" and she gave me a blank look. No idea what I asked. I had to explain it was 'East Tennessee' for "Was it good?" That was a _nice_ flathead and I like that knife, too. I'm a collector. Thank you so much for taking us with you, Richard. Sometimes getting to go fishing with you is just the thing to make bad day a lot better. I guess that means watching RGTFM is good fer me, too. 🎣👍😊🙋‍♂️

Dear Richard Gene: Thank you so much for sharing your talents, skills, and taking us on your fishing journey. I just wanna also tell you... thank you for bringing me back home vibs. My husband, he is in the military and we are living in Hawaii. I do get home sick and I miss my brother and dad fishing together on the main land. You really do set a comfort to my heart and help my get by a little bit easier. Where ever you go ,stay safe and continue with what your doing. Its amazing. Sincerely Subscriber

Always a good day when the drag is screaming. Thanks for sharing your day with us.

Mr.Richard let Elmo do one episode.

So glad to see people releasing these big fish.

Love each fishing video. Very informative and entertaining. Keep at it Richard Gene!

Rocking The Chucks! You the man, RG!!

Caught a nice striper on a flapper bluegill. This video inspired the use of that type of cut bait. Boy was he fun to catch!

Yeah Richard Gene the fishing machine catch them fish as much as you can

Damn he makes it look easy. I'm still working on my first catfish.

Mr. Machine: I was not raised fishing as many folks. I don't even remember how I stumbled across your channel but now that I have I have began to attempt to learn how to fish. It's been a slow process but I try to follow your advice and just go fishin when I can. Thank you for growing my interest and thank you for taking the time to produce these videos, I learn and am entertained. God Bless.

Richard, I'd love to see your anchor setup. I fish the Mobile River just north of the bay and the wind and current sometimes blows me all around.

Thank you so much for the flapper shad tutorial! I have been trying to learn this for a long time. As a 25 year old and not being raised around alot of fisherman I got to say I appreciate you Mr. Richard. You have taught me so much and so many others!

Love it Richard

RGTFM....I am a Pro Netter of Fish! I have a 98% recovery rate as per IMO rating system! I have a very "Slow" to get excited tendency, well when the guy on the rod isnt hollerin at me. For example "WHOOO, get the net boy...hurry up now! There he is gett HIMM. Dang, boy...ok, here he comes. Get him HURRY!! He aint hooked good!". I tend to rush in this situation...thus only a 98% rating. You holler at me too much....and well I may hit him in the head with the net! Aint my fault, should have hooked him right! I am CHEAP though. A snack and a few Coke Colas or RC Colas and I am there! Great video Richard Sir!

Good job
