Easy Way To Catch Loads Of Carp! (They Simply Can't Resist This Bait!) 

Such a humble man. We are so fortunate to have him share a lifetime of fishing knowledge with us.

I been a carp fisherman for 34 years . I would love to see more carp videos . Thank you Mr Richard for this video. God is good .

That was awesome Richard. (That's the quietest Victor has ever been on a fishing video! 😏) You should definitely do some more Carp fishing videos. Thanks for taking us along. Blessings!

We love you too Richard and of course Momma Sue. Funny skit at the end.

Thank you for the carp fishing video I’m a big time carp fisherman here in South Carolina ! 95% that’s what I fish for please do more of them!

As always, thanks for your videos. I just use Frosted Flakes type cereal. Pour a bunch in a baggie and then crush it, add water slowly and work it into to cereal until it gets that thick, sticky, consistency and you’re done. Dime sized ball of the mix on your hook about two feet under a sliding sinker. Plop it in the water and you’re done. To attract carp I use a small can of cream corn. Tie piece of string on the can about 25 ft long, use a can opener to punch 2 holes in the top and flip the can secured with the string into the area you’ll fish . Drop the bait ball around where the can is and hang on. Easy peasey.

Yes, Richard and Mama Sue are a joy for me to watch. I lost my mother in February of this year and watching Richard Gene really makes me appreciate life. He really doesn't take it for granted and loves his Sue and is so respectful of, well, everyone in his videos. God Bless you Richard Gene and Sue and family. Thanks for the time you spend with us.❤

This is the best video I have ever seen in my 60 years of living on how to carp fish, complete with bait and rig. Houston, TX 🇨🇱🤠

Dear Richard, them carps sure are purdy! Woooo

Thanks much for actually explaining in detail how your recipe is put together. Great!

Carp fishing is a amazing and carp is definitely a game fish. Many people thinks carp is junk fish but its total opposite to that. I love catch and release! Great video.

There is a grass carp in our pond and it is about 3 feet long...first time I saw it 😮 I thought it was a mini submarine... massive fish...eats as much vegitation as a moo cow 🐂 out in the field.😂

Ive never purposely fished for carp but now i kind of want to try it! I’ll watch whatever fishing video you throw out Richard God Bless!

I enjoyed this video, my wife is the carp fisherman between the two of us , I’m looking forward to her seeing this video!

Love that video! Need to see more of your techniques on these fish. I believe they have carp tournaments in some places. This was the first video I have watched on fishing for carp and I am glad you were the man to show it to us folks! God bless you Richard!

Love the variety in your videos. I can't wait to catch a big ol carp.

Was minutes away from searching to see if you’ve ever made a carp video and found this😂 WOOOOOOO

Go fishin' with ifish when you can cause it's gooooood fer ya's!

Love carp fishing, wild carp have unreal fight to them.

Ole Elmer and Victor fishing together… Woooooo get er done Elmooooooooo…. I’ve been wanting to see a carp fishing video for a long time… That was awesome, 2 of my favorite RU-vidrs fishing together…💪🏼🇺🇸

Thanks for another great video. The stolen boat bit was a surprising laugh 😂. I love to watch all your fishing videos no matter what the species.

Love carp fishing and really happy to see you doing this video! Good to see you putting some positive light on the glorious golden dolphin!

Thanks Rich. Carp are so fun to catch. Thanks for giving them some love.

Carp are 1 of my favorites to catch they fight really hard.

great show i started targeting carp when i was sixteen. great fish to catch.. yes make more

Thanks Richard Gene! My favorite to fish for, your pack bait tips taught me a lot. Do you do anything differnt when fishing for buffalo?

Ohhhhh! The ending was priceless! 😂😂😂

I was just telling my son the other day we need to catch a few carp and you release a carp video. You are the man and I appreciate the knowledge you share with us. Thanks for all you do for the sport of fishing RGTFM. Woooooo

The collab we never knew we needed 😂 thanks for another great video ol Richard

I just ordered some method feeders, hair rigs, fake corn, stuff to tie my own hair rigs, etc. just this morning, so please make more carp videos!!!

Gene you are an incredible fisherman!! God bless you always!!! WOO WOO WOO!!

This is the time of year to hunt for carp and cats while the Crappie are deep. Thanks for the video and wouldn’t mind seeing a few more videos on the subject👍🏻Thanks for all YOU do to share your knowledge with all of us. God bless you sir🎣

My father bought me one of those "Pocket Fisherman" rods they advertised on TV back in the 70s. We took it down to Turkey Creek on Ft. Loudon Lake to try it out. I had corn with me. First fish was a carp, of course. Probably about 20 pounds. It took off and instead of stripping drag it stripped the plastic drive gears. Learned a lesson. The people who made it actually fixed that later. You remember that? lol I hope the bond to get you out wasn't too high, Richard. I'm thinking Mama Sue was NOT happy. 😬🎣

That’s close to the carp dough that I always used, except I never used a blender on anything, I just mixed it up with my hands and that works. But I used canned sweet potatoes, cheap bran flakes ( cereal), or Wheaties if you want, and you can put wheat germ in it too if you want but it’s not necessary, just the sweet potatoes and bran flakes works real good! It’s a sticky dough, oh yeah I drain the canned sweet potatoes but save the juice, you may need a little of it. But I’ve caught a lot of carp, everywhere, on that dough and big carp too! And, you don’t need a method feeder or a special hook, all I used is #4 or #6 treble hook or a #2 or #1 eagle claw bait holder hook, you can probably go a little smaller on that hook but I just dough that bait around my hook and not a real big dough either, just about the size of a quarter or half dollar piece, but that doughball will catch carp anywhere and usually channel cat’s too, but you can add canned corn, whole kernel, to that dough and you can still catch carp and for sure channel cats. Channels like anything with corn in it. And bullheads too! I used to fish paylakes a long time ago, for carp, and I’ve won tournaments with that dough! Just the canned sweet potatoes, Wheaties and wheat germ! Oh, I used nothing but mono ( monofilament) and 8 to 12 lb. Anything in between that, if you use braid you don’t have to set the hook very hard but I never cared for braid, always preferred mono over anything and most monos are more abrasion resistant than braid, I don’t know about fluroughcarbon never used any. But good good deal Richard Gene! I love the carp videos

Best fisherman on RU-vid!! I have learned so much from you sir, great wealth of knowledge.. And yes fishing is the best sport

“Well there’s two very old good ones”. Now that’s a phrase I’ve never heard before. Love it.

Great video! I really appreciate you telling it like it is about carp--big, hard-fighting game fish! Try 'em, you'll like 'em!

This man is a treasure. I don't fish for Carp however I did as a Kid and Gene took me back to my childhood.... I'm going Carp fishing again👍👍

Look at that boat!!!

Richard I've been a subscriber for almost 5 years now. I've seen every video at least once an I think it's great you've made a carp video. Catching fish is catching fish! I'm not real picky what kind. Love your videos, my grandson is 9 an he loves em too! God Bless an keep it up.

I love it! I'm going carp fishing. Show us more ways to catch em.

I remember reading an article in a 1960's Fur, Fish, and Game magazine about when and why carp were imported to the US. If I'm remembering correctly after 60 some years, in the 1890's they were considered a fine game fish and excellent eating. When Congress imported them from Europe, the first load was lost in a storm at sea. They wanted them enough that another order was placed which made it here. When I was a boy a bunch of friends went fishing and one of the mothers offered to cook them for us. There was one carp among the panfish, and everyone of us said the carp was the best. Because they are one of the fish that can tolerate a higher degree of pollution, people associate them with filthy water and look at them with the disgust they should be saving for the species that polluted nearly every body of water. Great video - I'm going fishing again!

Always enjoy the videos you make!

gene does it all!

Awesome!!! Please make more carp videos!!!

Great video, thank you Richard!

Howdy from Texas. Love your videos. I'm definitely going to try your pack bait recipe. I like using Corn for carp as well. But what I like to also use along with the sweet corn. Is the colored miniature marshmallows that you can find very cheap at Walmart. You could just as easily use the regular white miniature marshmallows. But I like to think that those bright colors excite the carp or at least make my bait easier to see. But really the main job of the tiny marshmallow is to float the bait just a couple of inches off the bottom. And the carp really do love marshmallows. Thanks again for all the fishing tips and keep on keeping on. Y'all take care now ya hear.

Great video Richard! Thank you!

The Legend, Mr. Richard Gene The Fishing Machine!!!

Richard grew up in Texas put 100% bran flakes in a bag used a roller pin to crush them finer then put then in a bowl, add some cinammon and a big red soda pop just enough to make it like a dough. Then make dougn balls they get rubbery , almost can bounce them off the side walk . about the size of almost a nickel. We use a small treble hook , 14 inches of mono then a swivel then a slip sinker above the swivel. Just like you set the line like a sagging clothes line. The treble hooks hold the bait well some actually have a spring on them . Carp fishing is fun.

Great video! I enjoyed watching. I love catching carp! Especially on the fly rod when possible. I agree 100% with your comparison of carp to redfish. I’ve told people this before!

Wheatey’s cereal is great for carp too.

I’ve been mostly following Tom’s advice from “Outdoors with Tom”. I use the old fashioned oats mixed with cream corn and maybe one of those little packages of mixed fruit or diced peaches. Little garlic…. Works well. I use “tiger nuts” for the hook bait. Just landed a 20-pounder Friday…. Tom has a video with 50 different bait mixes he’s used. Bottom line… they all work.

Good change of pace i use to carp fish when i was a teenager alot we had white amur they get HUGE to and we caught them with doe balls ...and bread some times ....i want to aee some more carp vids ..and some hot summer tike crappie fishing they gey finiky in this summer time heat...woooooo keep rolling RGTFM love the ending by the way 😂

Enjoyed you. Regards (SA) Carp cant resist a little piece of doe above the corn over here. 👋

This is my favorite video that you have made! thank you for showing people how to properly handle carp and using an unhooking cradle and how fun carp are to catch. Carp grow to be huge and are a great fight.

I love all your videos and I love fishing with minimal tackle like you. This is my new favorite video from you! We have a lot of carp and always avoid targeting them but I think this will help get some kids and adults to love fishing! Ordering my method feeder today!

I just found your channel an im loving it ! Thank you SIR !!!!!!!!

Thanks for doing this Carp video. I discovered carp about 2 years ago and I’m hooked. I caught 8 this morning! I’ll be trying some yammy sweets. 🙏❤️😎👍

My good buddy would buy soy bean meal from the feed store and mix it with raspberry jello. Then we heaved them carp out the water. Kept some smaller ones and double filleted them , dipped in corn meal and fried. Delicious!

I love to fish for catfish and carp. ❤🎣

Few will enter the pearly gate…and Richard well he’s one of em..god bless brother 🇺🇸👍🦅

Oh, Richard, I never figured you for Carp fishing. They are a strong fish to catch, but I never keep Carp, unless I know someone that will eat those things. They're in that category with Buffalo, Drum, and Gar. They are fine to catch, but I don't keep them. Great seeing you out on the water. Different boat, yours or someone else's ? God bless y'all and stay safe out there on the water.

I do lots of live carp fishing on my channel. I’m going to try this out thank you 🤘🏼👍🏼

I been fishing for carp for about a month or so after finding a method feeder. Wow! I'm hooked!! I can't leave home without one now. There're huge and fight like crazy! Plus they splash alot and makes the other fisherman nearby say "gosh dang." Lol

We used to use wheaties cereal and water. Worked like a charm.

Richard you're a legend! Thank you for everything!

Loved the video. Carp Are the hardest fighting fish I’ve ever hooked in too. Thank you for sharing your technique and look forward to the next one.

been seeing so many carp in alabama, nice to know how to catch em

Thank you for the video. I’ve been wanting to fish for carp to have a bit of fun and this video showed an easy way.

We used to use Wheatie Balls for carps, get a handful get it wet crush and mold into a big ball as it's drying some add vanilla extract. Tear off enough to make a ball just enough to cover the hook, carp loved it! Golden Torpedoes! God bless all.

Love catching carp but they weren't ever my target fish. Fun fighters. I may have to give this a go! In the end when you were caught doing a "safety inspection" on your friend's boat, I was laughing so loud my wife came to see what was going on.

Love how u use the cradle to hold the fish... I'm an avid carp angler and more often see ppl mis treat such a great fighting fish... thank u for taking care of the fish... great video I might just have to try the yams btw

Easy way to catch carp - my method along with my buddies was to use whole kernel canned corn - go to your spot in the evening and start using the corn, when you are done fishing, toss the rest of the can of corn(there should be plenty left) into the water, spread it out and come back next day early and start fishing with whole kernel corn again - bet you catch a bunch of carp and possibly some catfish too! It always worked for us. One or two pieces of corn on a number 8 or number 6 hook fished on the bottom and bam, I got one.

wow what a venue Yeh wish i was there with yah ... by the way we in the UK love catching carp ;P loved your vid n tips 👍

My dad used to spear carp.He never fileted them-he scored them and fried them in half cornmeal with half flour in a cast iron skillet with a bunch of lard in it. He used a straight edge razor to cut about quarter inch thick slices down to the ribs, and when they fry up, the bones are dissolved that most pick out. Sounds kinda crazy explaining it, but try this. A slice of rye bread, dill pickles, and a crispy tail section: killer!

the description of a carps mouth being rubbery is exactly right

Hey Richard, I just want to let you know I really enjoyed this video. Hey man, keep them coming! With your outreach, I think you can really change the attitude of the American fisherman about carp. I know I would love to catch more carp, and you have a way of bringing information that is simple and easy to understand.

Thank you for practicing carp care and using a cradle!

I think I'll give carp fishing a go after watching this video! Keep em coming! 🇺🇸 🎣

Hi Mr. Richard. Thank you for another great teaching segment. I have never targeted Carp, but will give it a try now. God bless.

As a kid we did a lot of carp fishing, sometimes for bait sometimes to eat and sometimes for fun. Definitely good fighters. I made my dough bait out of a mix of corn meal, molasses, and flour. I'd grab some cottonwood fuzz and stir that in, those fibers were great for keeping the dough on your hook longer.

Thank you for this video, carp fishing is a blast

Hello I'm a carp fishermen here in AZ and mostly canal fishing.urban style.carps remind me of goliat fish. Not the power comparison but the pattern. When they surface and sees you they dive! Over and over 😅 but yes! Very powerful fish indeed!

Love it Gene!

Would love to come be a shadow on your boat, been watching you for a while, and you remind me of some of my family.

I'm 100% for seeing more carp/buffalo videos from you.

Good Bless you, Richard Gene. You made me laugh hard when you were making that concoction. Get ‘er done! 🇺🇸

Richard gene the fishing machine! 💪

My very first fish was a carp. Thebiggest was a carp. The hardest fighter was always a carp. The greatest battle was a 30 + carp that took a yellow shad dart while wade fishig the delaware water gap,N.J. using an 8' fly rod with a mitchel 308 and 6lb. Stren mono. Unforgetable.

U are the best fisherman just like me ...greets from Austria the carp wels and so on country

I wasn't targeting them but i hooked a 15 lb guy on 6 lb test. It was Awesome!

Great video. I love fly fishing for carp!

I don’t know if you had seen my request for a carp video or not on your last video or so. But thank you for the awesome, informative video. God bless you

Lol at the ending

Good video Richard! I enjoyed it!

Pinto beans and buttermilk...lol. Thank you Sir, as always, for being the strong, kind, and sharing gentleman that you are.

While I like you're other fishing vids, I have never seen a carp fishing vid. Yes, i would like to see more

Thanks very much for showing us this bait technique. I shall be putting it to the test over here in the uk. I'm sick of spending fortunes on bait that very rarely works. My ultimate favourite bait (caught the most carp on) is beef flavoured dog biscuits along with baxters meaty chunks. Caught my personal best 27.5lb on the dog feed. Although I'm sure the fish are used to this bait now so I'll be trying your recipe sir. Thank you

Throw a turkey leg on the hook and them carp would have a thanksgiving dinner. Richard, you are awesome. I have been watching your videos for years and have learned so much. Thanks! P.S. you have the best name out there 😆
