Dam Fishing For BIG Fish!!! 

The sweet sweet sound of that drag!

Richard is genuinely the most interesting RU-vid fisherman to me. Great teacher. It’s always a blast. It would be a dream to fish with him

LOVE! to hear your drag scream as line is peeled off your reel. Thanks for bringing us along

Hybrids were putting up a good fight. That drag was humming!

Richard Gene, I watch a lot of fishing on RU-vid, but you are my favorite! You've taught me so much, thank you.

Love listening to that drag sing. Thanks for the trip Mr Richard.

I saw fish swimmin up to Richards boat the other day,asking for his autograph !

We used to catch Hybrids and Sea Run Stripers in the spillways of Mississippi......... Sardis, Arkabutla.......but that was 30 years ago.......they are long gone......never to return i am sure. Great show Richard,,,

Makes my day when i see a Richard Gen video pop up. I mean Wooooooo!!!

Wow what a hybrid. You can clearly see fresh and salt water types in that fish. Never seen one before, thanks Richard!!!

The most amazing thing about your videos, Gene, is the way you get the fish to lay still once you’ve netted them and laid them on the boat deck. That first fish you caught would have been flopping all over my boat tangling every single thing I had in the boat. Good stuff!

Yeah I dont care how many years old your videos are I love watching em

I'am addicted can't get enough YOU NEED MORE VIDEOS.

I found if my flukes or skirts are coming off the jig, carry a bottle of super glue and put some on the jig next to the head and slide the fluke or skirt right up to the head, it will stay there a very long time.

Man that fight video of the first hybrid was excellent, almost as good as being there!

I started saying ‘queeet’ to my fish (and some people). Love this man!

Fishin' Machine I get real antsy when you jump up on that little bow deck and start a windin' yerself up. I hope you don't stumble and take a swim ! LOL Those bass were beautiful. Love yer' videos fo sho !

I love the fact that you approach fishing for bluegill with the same enthusiasm that you do with crappie, bass and stripe.

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls Let's go fishing

Those stripe are good eating. Best tasting fish other than crappie .

We would use a 6 inch pearl sassy shad, most of the time we would outfish the guides who were using live skipjacks🎣🥰

In Tennessee we fish for what I have always called a rockfish (hybrid strip) and have caught 5 myself over 20 lbs ....and my old fishing buddy caught one that was over 40 using shad ....but usually we fish for them with a homemade jig made from deer hair called a bucktail jig and I tip it with a hilighter yellowish/green zoom trick worm in cold weather ..don't fish anymore but ten years ago first time it spit snow I was headed to the damn ....and for those who have never caught one on a jig it's like someone dropped a five gallon bucket full concrete on end your line .....my uncle fishes for them with a top water plug we always called a redfin down River and in the lake in warm weather ....use it in cold weather too but mostly the bucktail .....been years but it's some of the most addictive fishing in freshwater there is ......like I said don't fish anymore but I enjoy your channel because you fish for the same types of fish I always loved to fish for but those rockfish are like nothing else ....that and crappie fishing was always my favorite

Him and bill dance is my favorite!

Another wonderful commentary Rich you always increase my fishing IQ.

God Bless you Richard Gene! Thanks for this.

Thank you for the video sir!

Dam good episode!! 😎👍👍🇺🇸

I trolled those same waters saturday with lures and caught nothing but big ole carp. Gene has the touch!

No better sound than drag peeling off the reel!

Richard Gene, love your videos, I've been watching you for quite some time now, I have learned so much, I would love to see a catch and cook on one of your episodes, thanks from Mn.

0:43 Alright now that there rod yanked down was outrageous. That rod arc bend. That line screeched off the spool.

Thank you Richard Gene, be safe.

Can't beat the sound of that braid when you hook into a fatty....another great video Richard! And I still laugh out loud every time Elmo shows up, without fail. I literally cannot help it. Woo!

Damn! I’m jealous of that hybrid!

Nice catch Richard, especially that first hybrid. We have those here in the watersheds of Middle Tennessee as well. The skip-jacks are indeed excellent catfish bait. Iv'e had them jump right into my boat on the Cumberland river, while I was cruising up the river no less! Good video- Keep em' coming.

Love this dude !!!

I don't fish much any more but I do vicariously through your shows my friend. Good stuff

Yes! Great video Rich! Love you dude!

That's the way I used to like to fish. Bravo!
