Catching Catfish Under Bridges - Bottom Bumping 

And, we appreciate you. Your enthusiasm to go fishing is contagious .

You wonder why you have so many subscribers, it's because you teach in detail and become genuinely excited when catching fish. I enjoy watching you catch bluegill to use them for bait.

I love your boat. Easy to clean, nothing to fade and replace or repair. Smart man.

I love knowing that the fishing machine still gets so excited fishing. Richard Gene & Fishing= Second to none

Richard Gene!!! I Love your videos! I lost my first born son a couple of years ago and we loved to fish together! I haven't had the desire to fish since. You and your video's alone have set me back on fire for fishing and through that my heart and spirit are healing! I know that may be a lot to have on you but "hey", please just keep doing what you do. And, "they ain't but one thing to do!!! Let's catch another one!!!!

Richard Gene The Fishing Machine videos are second to none!!

Not only a great fishermen but a great guy and definitely a great entertainer!

Love listening to Richard. Very informative, clean cut and entertaining and a great fisherman. Like his comic relief too.

When it comes to fishermen on utube... okay.... you are second to none!

Congrats on hitting 100K ! You deserve a million. Best darn clean, informative and entertaining content on this here youtube thing.

First view. Thanks for doing what you do for the fishing community Richard

here lately i have settled on watching Richard Gene most of the time. i've learned a lot and can't wait for winter to break. Crappie and Bass seem to be the main focus for me. My wife loves to Catfish and will enjoy trying your methods. Thanks for everything.

I learn something new everytime I watch one of your videos.

Once again you’ve proved to be the man Richard.

Happy to see 100k. You more than deserve it. Nobody does it like The Fishing Machine !!!

Building and raising children...I hear you. Now what you can add to the list is raising this channel and building a fishing audience that enjoys watching your honesty and enthusiasm. You da man RG!!!

Richardism of the Day, "Hampster Destrious" the ability to use both hands. Yes there is nothing like fishing but by far,,,,,,, there is no one who can top the Mighty Richard Gene when it comes to fishing. He is the finest fisherman I have ever seen and truly an Icon. Thanks for another great video.

"Well, they ain't but one thing to do. Let's catch another one!" Wiser words were never spoken of a sport that's second to none. 👍🙋‍♂️

You sir, are just a happy guy and I totally understand you. I act pretty much the way you do even when I’m alone lol

Your still building Richard! Instead of houses, you are building your channel! The word is ambidextrous:) Keep up the good work and remember, watch Richard go fishing because it's good fer ya!

Hey Mr. Richard gene the fishing machine I am your biggest fan

You are the greatest and your videos shows the compassion!!

Mr. Gene , I am speaking for myself but I know there are a great many that feel blessed to watch you and learn from you. You truly are a fishing legend .

Iv'e been to Gadsden AL. many times because my wife is from there. Her mother lived there until she passed away, and I think I have only been back once since then. I did take note of all the great looking fishing areas when we drove down there from Tennessee. The creeks we crossed always caught my attention, because I just love creek fishing. I might get the notion to drive down some day and explore some of the creeks in northern Alabama. Lord knows I have fished bunch of creeks and rivers in my neck of the woods.

Your personality is golden. Thanks for putting these together & congrats on 100k!

I wasn't catching anything over a pound and I tried the 3 shad shuffle, via Richard gene. Pinned about a ten pound channel within 5 minutes. Thanks for the fishing secrets, fishing machine.

It's hard to find the good ol' Old Skool fishermen nowadays that just keep it simple. Simple & effective, just as you say. We appreciate what you do for us fishermen and we look forward to each video you post.

The "Red Shoe" Fisherman!!!!!!!!!! He is wearing them Converse Shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great catches!!!!!!!!!!!!! The last days of Summer Fishing is upon us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good eatin' right there, we throw them back, back in the live well.

Love your videos man! Me and my 3 month old daughter watch your videos every night before she goes to bed! Keep on keepin on brother!

Congrats on your channels success Richard Gene and ELMO !!!!

Really enjoy watching your fishing videos while getting cancer treatment. Can’t wait to go fishing again. Keep the videos coming Thanks Richard!

Well Richard you are just a good ole boy and who wouldn't enjoy watching you. 👍

I don't think I've ever been this early and I sure am glad I did. It's gonna be a good video if its a Richard Gene catfish video! Keep doing what you're doing man... Because its GOOOOOOOOD FER YA!

Congrats!!! To Mr Gene and ELMO!!! Gotta love’em,, Elmo, A true red blooded American.. Many good blessings to you Mr. Gene..

I agree! The views from your boat of the countryside is so beautiful! Guntersville lake is really a river being held by a damn. I Google mapped it and I can tell. Letting out water from the damn explains the current under those columns, probably some monsters lurking there Elmo!

Mr. Gene you deserve to have alot of subscribers. Because your a great fisherman and your passion shows it. You have a very entertaining and helpful channel. One of the best channels on RU-vid. I've been watching you for years now. And I'm pretty much the same way. I also believe that fishing is the greatest sport/hobby a person could have. It's a thrill that's second to none. The whole experience of being on the water and hunting for and trying to find them and figure them out to catch and land them. Is so awesome! Keep up the great work you do for us all. And thanks for the tips on crappie fishing. I've only started fishing for crappie 5-years ago. When I moved to the country in Mississippi.🙂

That little boat will scoot Elmoooooooo!!! 😂🤣 Got that dadgum yammer hammer on it! Wooooooo

Great day fishing with the Greatest fisherman of all kinds👊🏻👊🏻

I’ve never subscribed to anyone channel always just watch them but for some reason I just really like you and your videos And I think you’re a heck of a guy! Heck I take that back, I love ya and you crack me up and I’ve also learned A lot from you. I’ve been fishing all my life Mainly i target bass but here lately I’ve been trying to catch Crappie because of you ha ha and I can’t seem to catch them like you can LOL. I’m here at the lake now as a matter of fact and we just now got a little bit of a cold front and I just watched your video on how to tie a loop knot.. that is unreal how it keeps that Jig at a 90° angle!! But anyways to sum all this up I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy watching your show and I wish I had someone Like you to go fishing with because I know if I enjoy watching your shows as much as I do then I would love fishing with you!!!

Richard you are one in a million my friend!! That's what we love about you my friend!! Thank you for have a fishing show, even my grandkids can watch. LIVE FOR THE THUMP MY FRIEND!!

This is the kind of "bottom bumping" I can still enjoy at my age.

+1 Like for the speed boatin' at the beginning @RichardGeneTheFishingMachine :)

Out of all the fishing channels my husband and I watch, yours is definitely our favorite! They're educational and so fun to watch and I like how excited you get EVERYTIME you catch a fish.

Thanks Richard for taking us along. I learn something with every video I watch. Tip of the hat my friend from a retired Central Illinois Steamfitter. Keep fishing and be safe brother! 🎣😊

Glad to be one of the crowd. You make it look easy. Can’t wait to do a little fishing myself this winter. My gut is too big to throw back legal fish. It won’t let me.

Rich I want you to know I really enjoy your videos , I am recently retired with plans of fishing everyday till I had heart surgery and can;t get right now . So i will just fish you , keep them coming . I like them old catfish too they drive me crazy .

See how gentle the man is with the fish? The fish and man are old friends. He comes out, catches the fish, let's him go, catches him again etc etc. Fish gets good meal and man gets good day of fishing. See ya next weekend old friend.

Only thing missing is a frying pan. Good video.

Dog gone dad Blane durn! What a great victory chant. I love this channel. Thanks for all these videos

that big word is....either handed mr rg. lol works for us . thank you for your vids and advice and tips.

We all love fishing me, especially I loooooove fishing 😊❤❤❤

By far one of the best fishing channels on youtube. Thank you sir.

Im spoiled rotten. I grew up in Frankville, Alabama. Off the Tombigbee River. My Grandpa, and Dad used to take me to Millers Ferry, Claiborne Lock and Dam to catch skipjack. We would jug or fish off of custom made trot lines my Grandpa made. Now 20 years later I was given a Jon boat. I fabbed up an aluminum fishing rack for the back and have been putting around Montgomery, Wetumpka. Damn I've got a lot of learn. Caught my first cat yesterday at about 2:30pm on some cut drum. I am having trouble finding skip jack in my area, and shad. I tried using Bluegill, but only rclecently learned I could fillet them, and to not burry the hook so deep in the bait. Dang it is humbling

the woo's at the end make me smile every time

I enjoy this channel waaay to much. Someone who enjoys fishing as much as me. Im very glad to have found this channel. Keep them fish coming. Wooo,wooo...

Ya Always make me smile Richard! Thanks for doin what you're doin!

Thanks for the catfish video Richard gene the fishing machine great video as always very informative👍

Best fishing channel on you tube. Very motivational and informative. Catfish videos always get the like before I even start watching

Hi Mr. Richard, my boys and I have been watching your RU-vid channel for a while and it's inspired us to go fishing today. They're 4 and 5 years old and we dug up worms until we had enough to go fishing. We live in the city but we are fortunate enough to have a great city park with lots of lagoons and we caught a real nice (big 'un) bluegill and a real chunky little largemouth. Love to watch your videos when we can't go fishing and want to thank you and wish you tight lines!

Congratulations Richard!! I started my wife out with the “Elmo compilation video” specifically the “my wife always tryin’ to tell me what to do” part...she couldn’t help but laugh and shake her head. Now she can’t help herself from saying “let’s let him go”!! I hope your channel is a blessing to you and your family! Thank you. Thank “Elmo” for me for being such a good sport and so entertaining!!!

Best fisherman all times...

Richard I really enjoy your videos. What is really special though is you honor the LORD in your videos. If I ever get to meet you I have a story to tell ya about lake Weiss. Yeah it’s about two preachers and my brother.

Best fishing channel on youtube!

WhooHoo! Eat Catfish cause their GOOOOOOD Fer Ya! And when Elmo makes his statement at the end, with the signature music in the background, I always say in my broadcaster voice "Richard Gene The Fishing Machine Brought To You By......"

We all love ya Richard!!! Thanks for all the videos and giving us a glimpse of your passion.

Richard, you seriously need to write your autobiography. I (and I'm sure many others) would love to read about your life, and how you acquired such a wide variety of fishing knowledge. If you announced your forthcoming book, I would quickly preorder it.

Another great episode. Thanks Richard for all the great techniques

You are a fine fisherman

Nice! Out in California we bottom bounce for rock cod, and lings, never heard of doing it for catfish. Enjoyed the video Richard, fun and informative!

Hello Mr. Richard. I love watching your videos. Thank you for all the great tips.

Good day for you. Just want to say Thank you for sharing your fishing adventures with us. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into making these videos. Thanks again sir!

Congratulations on reaching 100K subscribers, Richard. That should tell you you're doing this right! It won't be long 'till you're at 150K and I'll still be watching!

Great to see you posting videos again, Machine!
