Crappie Fishing From The Bank - Tips For Fishing Rip Rap 

Hey old machine this is your brother from Hartselle AL I really enjoyed your video I always said you can catch fish in a mud hole in a drive way....your are truly a gift from God too this earth to all us fisher men....Richard please pray for me and my family right now we are going thru some tuff times the mother of my granddaughter loaded up and left we don't have a clue were she is at my little Luna is gone.....she is almost a year old and ever afternoon when I would get home me and her would always watch your videos together she was my pride and joy just need all the prayers we can get now.....love you brother your old buddy from Hartselle AL.....

Don't ever change, Machine. You're the best fisherman on youtube BECAUSE you're "Old Timey" -- you just plain catch 'em because you understand "fish psychology" and that only comes with experience and trial and error -- I just love your content. 🙂

I'm thrilled to have your video be my first comment ever on RU-vid. Your tips are, without a doubt, the only reason I've been able to start catching crappie. Lifetime fisherman, first time crappie catcher, devoted fan.

Mr. Gene you turn more fish alose than most people catch 💪🐟🎣

Underrated channel. You have lots of information and tips that are useful.

Folk if watch please like the video. It helps Richard out

Who dare thumbs down The Machine?! Love you and your videos RG! Keep the good vibes flowing.

The man can catch crappies no matter where he fishes.

Nice video Gene, I'm a bank fisherman can u do more bank videos... with a double rig jig setup with or without a bobber thanks so much James

Very underated and damn good advice and great tips thanks Richard gene it was a pleasure my friend

It’s a joy watching a true master at work. You make it look so easy!

Words can't explain how much you like it....and words probably can't explain how good you are at it....you are truly an inspiration....when you squeeze your hands I understand what you are feeling

Watching your videos has lit a far under my hindend. I’m more excited about fishing this year than I’ve been in many years. Thank you sir and God bless you. WOOOOOO

Man I really love you programs very educational I would pay to go on a trio with you brother And remember go fishing when you can because its goooooooooooood 4 ya !!!!

So detailed, so passionate, so darn entertaining. Thank you Richard Gene the Fishing Machine!

Your the crappie king Mr machine great video and God bless you

Great video!! I've learned alot from your videos...in my opinion!!!😀 Thank you!!!

Crappie are biting here in Dale Hollow Lake 👍🏻

I've been using a modern Mitchell 308 xe for the last 10 years. Its on a 4.5 ft ugly stick , spooled with 8lb line. I use it 300 days a year and its still like new (functionality wise). Ive bought a couple other Mitchells since and they hold special place with me. Quality that's affordable is rare. Good stuff old man! I'm going fishin.

you cant understand a flippen thing ol elmo says but you got to love him !!!!!!

When I was younger I used to be rock steady,great for squirrel,grouse,etc. hunting with a .22.Today after years of stress and other life crap my nerves are not anywhere like they used to be,but it works out great for jigging baits and my 10' rods....lol

That little “yeah” at the end 😆

Like I said before the baddest fisherman on the planet

Richard, one of the most enjoyable ways I catch spring crappie is with an original floating rapala in silver and red. I use a slow retrieve jerking the bait and then letting it sit for a second. It drives the fish crazy and they will jump straight up out of the water for it. Give it a try.

Well lookie there. Watching and finishing up one of your videos a new one comes out. Already waiting on the next one.

I like that he uses old school and some new school reels like everybody used to

Another top quality video from The Machine. Always so easy to learn from your uploads. Love it!

Best fishing channel ever! Thanks for sharing. 👍
