Love the bank crappie videos! Richard my friend, you were born to entertain all of us fisherman!! LIVE FOR THE THUMP MY FRIEND!!!

I caught my first crappie thanks to you, Richie. Hands down the best crappie fishing teacher out there

How could someone thumbs down ole richard gene he is not selling you anything or advertising for money but gives his years of experience to help us all god bless you all and richard keep the videos coming.

You motivate me to go fishing every time I watch this channel! Appreciate you!

Thank you Richard I don't have a boat I do everything from the bank and I love crappie

Richard, the more I watch you fish, the more I love your energy!! You are by far the best all around fisherman! Wether it crappie, bass, or cat fish, you sure hunt them in!

I love to hear this guy talk!

Like the bank fishing videos! Your videos are always entertaining and informative !

Bagged 10 yesterday on a beautiful NC afternoon. Peace and quiet in my boat, just me, the crappie, an osprey and a blue herron

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO got 8 of them slabs on inland today, thanks for all the tips Mr. Gene

Thanks for giving us some bank fishing trips, your knowledge and advice. God bless you in Jesus name. Have a blessed weekend. ✝️

By far the best fishing channel!!

Thank you Richard , May God bless you and yours.

When he says "quit!" the fish QUIT lol

Since you done brought it up,I really did enjoy that creek you hiked down to,maybe 2yrs ago now

Yessir that sheen on the water with the fish swirling was a view second to none... 😊😉😏

I love it that you’re using a vintage Mitchell reel. When my grandpa passed last year I inherited all his fishing gear. I got serval of his old Mitchell’s. Got them back into working shape. They’re damn good reels.

Yes, sir, I truly believe matching the bait in the area is key god bless you and yours 🙏 😊

Richard Richard old time man . My mannn . I watch a lot of ur video man respect to u keep ur good work . Ur the most humble oldtimer I met on RU-vid. What u need to do is to invite us who watch your video and subscribers to a fishing trip with u to have good ans catch some slabs . Much appreciated keep up the good work 🙏

Crappie magnets and trout magnets are my go-to bluegill and crappie jig. Thanks richard we appreciate you and your videos. God Bless you and your family.

God bless you brother! Thanks for the fishing tips! Starting taking my 5 year twin girls out fishing and they are just loving it!

The greatest fishing channel there is.

Love the channel Richard keep it up brother and God bless you and yours

Love your channel, love the ultra light tackle you use for crappie, and how your always laid back and enjoy what your doing while you do it. Very refreshing. God bless!

I got hooked on crappie fishing 3 years ago. I had mostly fished for bream, flathead n catfish for past say 30 years. Crappie were great to eat for me but they didn't like redworms and nightcrawlers or crickets so i tied on jighead laying in bottom of my old tin, squeaky tackle box. I had several old tube jigs and i just randomly picked a chartreuse/white colored one which also was the only one of that color and i landed 2 crappie on first 3 casts off the bank of our fishing creek here. Crappies wore that jig out til there were hardly none of the skirt pieces left, like i say they were at least 10 years old in my tackle box. I tied on what resembled the colors mostly but it really wasnt even close lol. I did not get one more bite and i stayed at it just knowing any minute i would have another color they would bite BUT it never happened. It became personal to me that day lol and i have enjoyed every minute of it though patiece is true and i had plenty of it when it came to catching a crappie,2,3...bucket of slab crappie and what i call a slab is 10" my biggest is 17" but thats pretty good for a highly pressured creek round here. I stay after them and i thank ya fer these marvelous videos bo howdy lets catch another one!!!!

This video brought me so much happiness. Gotta go get me a crappie rod set up, love the ole reel too... soooo awesome!! 😃

Hey man, thanks for showing some fishing from the bank. I love the boat videos, but I don't often have access to a boat or kayak (only on the weekends) and I love going fishing on random banks after work. I don't often catch stuff from the bank so it's really awesome and encouraging to see you catching anything, let alone those slabs. Tight lines.

God bless you too Richard Gene The Fishing Machine. Your the best fishing show on RU-vid. My opinion, you are second to none.

I really enjoy the heck out of your videos!! Can't go fishing right now, watching you is the next best thing!!!

My goodness my gal and our youngest went out yesterday and today and caught 16 crappies between 13-15.75 inches we kept and our whole family is eating good we also let a couple dozen good ones go and a few small ones! We are so blessed and while our fish cook we watch your channel and life is good Richard keep catching those crappie love your channel!

Glad to see a bank fishing video. Boats make it too easy. Love your channel, bubba!

Richard brings a new definition to pitchin woooo. Be it flippin, pitchin, or maybe even trolling for that woooo. Keep up the good work.

Fun video. I enoy watching you track down these pan fish. Crappie is one of my all time favorite fish for food. You are a good man sir.... TY. MH

Bank fishing is AWESOME! Fish a spot 10-15 mins,if no bite or fish,MOVE!! NO USE FISHIN WHERE THEY AINT! I SURE MISS THAT OLE MAN! HE WAS IN HIS 70'S ME IN MY 40'S IT WAS WORK KEEPIN UP WITH HIM!!

You get so excited . Love it God bless you Sir .

Appreciate the tips and the great videos Richard! God bless you and your family!

Man, I can’t tell you how much I love your videos, well...actually, I just did. Keep posting! 👍

God Bless you too RG!

'It is all about the sport" I believe this is why I love this channel and following you Richard. If we ever get the USA and Canadian border open my friend I would gladly and enjoyably want to spend a day on the water with you.

God bless you buddy! As a handicapped fat man, I cant catch any but I sure enjoy watching you!

Hey Richard, I've been watching your channel for a few years now. First time commenting Just wanted to say. Your channel is my all time favorite fishing channel im very happy i found it randomly one day. Because of you I've mostly switched myself to Crappie fishing I used to only fish for Bass and thank you for showing me my Favorite species of fish to target. Fishing Truely is the best sport. Ive been wanting to buy merch from you but i couldnt find the shirt i wanted that i see you were in your videos on the shop.

Mr. Gene, we love you here in TN.

I think I know exactly where you are! I just didn’t know I was allowed to “go on that side” LOL Richard, my BF and I WOULD LOVE to go fishing with you!

Richard thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

I couldn't get them to bite tonight and I saw at least 15. But I caught my 1st , 2nd, the 3rd PB large mouth all within 3 hours tonight 😁

Thank you so much for making this content. I love your channel, your videos are invaluable.

Leaving crappie season to go on business trip. This vid made me go to the shed and get my collapsible rod for the suit case. Just in case..

Richard, Didn't think about adding a regular sized reel. Had tunnel vision on Mr crappie jig reel. Thanks for another great fishing experience. Bret SYOTW

I was thinking your channel should have been named Richard Gene One Mean Fishing Machine, but you're too humble and modest for that. One of the most informative channels out there. I'm following you all the way from Southeast Asia region, and we don't even have the species you're targeting. :-)

Great video again my wife and I are coming to stay in guntersvilles In three weeks I am bring my boat and going to fish town creek I see you are fishing town creek would love to meet up and fish with you

Thank you for your time and efforts

Richard I've been watching your videos and trying out your tricks this spring. Last night I finally caught my first crappie! Actually, I caught three of 'em. I don't think there are as many or as big of crappies out here in Oregon as where you live, but it was still the most fun I'd had fishing in a while.

Richard catches them all he is to dam good.

Wooo wooo wooo, Thanks for sharing mr fishin machine.

Nothing better than a pretty sunset and black crappie

Richard gene the fishing machine,hes badass machine

If it was easy, everybody would probably do it! Most people don't understand to be a decent angler takes some dedication and plenty of cast without bites and snag! Adversity is a good thing, just because you are a character does not mean you have character! Winston Wolfe.

Richard Gene the fishing machine please hook up with kayak catfishhe's on the Tennessee River as well he said he reached out to you and you never responded that video would be epic both of you guys are some of the best catfish for men I've ever seen and I think that I'm one of the best as well so that says a lot

Richard, great video as usual - as a matter of fact I can't ever recall seeing one of your videos that wasn't great. You keep making 'em, I'll keep watching 'em. Thank you for all you do and God bless.

Man you realy are the fishing Machine, thank you for sharing all your knowledge and fishing wisdom.. you the man Richard Gene!!

Thank you for your post. I’m still new to the channel but I look forward to your uploads

Love those old Mitchells

Love the Crappie Magnet! It’s smaller counter part the trout magnet is my go to when they’re finicky and want small presentation as well!

My favorite fishing channel! Thank God I stumbled across your channel sir! God has something special planned for you! God bless!

Love the videos sir. Had great time my last video of getting a lot of slab crappie. They was all up on the bank and was a lot of fun for sure.

I enjoy all your videos Gene, I learn something new every time I watch your videos and I have started jiggin with a jig pole when I saw your crappie videos 2 years ago and it's super affective on slabs!, Love a classic white Marabou jig and a natural minnow by Bobby Garland. Your awesome Gene keep on fishing 🎣

Great video, RGTFM! Crappie magnets are deeeeadly.

Thank you for all of your awesome videos! Been dealing with some health issues and laid up. Been having to do all my fishing on RU-vid. Hopefully I'll be back out there myself soon. Thanks again!

Please tell us how you tell the difference between a male or female crappie. And also a black or white crappie. Thanks. You the man !! I learn from every video.

I don't have a boat or a kayak, so bank fishin is all I do, unless I go with a friend in their boat. Gotta love it!! You caught some slabs. Looks like a juicy spot.

Richard I love to fish from the bank but I cant hardly get around now so I stay in the boat and let it do the walking but I sure do miss the bank great video

As always, I love your videos.

The master at it again. It don’t get no better than this folks.

Right back at you Mr Richard, God bless!!!
