Easy Way To Find & Catch Loads Of Bluegill With A Jig 

I followed all your tips, did it just like you taught me, and treated my momma to a bluegill dinner last night! Happy Mother’s Day to Momma Sue and thank you Richard Gene for bestowing the knowledge!

I always admire how clean and clutter free your boat is. Great video!

Richard Gene the fishing machine, admit it Elmo taught you everything you know about bluegills!! I’m talking about WOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Thanks Richard! Great vid! Can you do a catch-clean and cook video?

Used to catch blue gill on light tackle with a trout fly and a bobber 24 inches up from the fly. Used the bobber to get it out there, then worked it back. Filet 'em out and use the guts that night for catfish. Long gone days...alas. Sir Richard, thank you for showing, sharing and educating. We all benefit from you. Blessings to you and Momma Sue. Keep on!

The dad I wish I had. Richard Gene. Thank you for all you do

fly tying thread works real good too

Love it

Tell mama Sue happy mothers day.

I've been using jigs for forty plus years. Jigs are the best, for all species of fresh water fishing.

Can you do a catch clean cook?

Richard you are the man I just ordered me some of those pin tails I got the orange pink and some chartreuse hope they work as well for me but I’m sure they will GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS Thanks Man

Great video Richard thanks again Richard GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY RICHARD 😊

Nice! Thats how it was for us a couple sunday afternoons ago. 1 after the other just no size to em

Richard Gene- Been watching your videos about a year now, loved every one of them, if you were to nail down one single lure for multiple species of fish, what might that be ? Thanks , keep up the good work and God Bless ya Buddy !

I've been using the Lewis laser hs ultra light rod and lews laser light reel like a 50 or 25 size and 2lb whatever I can find in store line and have be loving the sport of bluegill fishin

Hell yeah let's go

We tore them up Friday, catfish too. Rain put them on the bank and active.

RGTFM Videos are always entertaining and instructional. Wish he'd do one on how to fish a jig for largemouth bass. Never really got to be a master with a jig.

Also looking for the 1/100 size sickle hook jigs and the Nikko pintails. Thanks!

where do you get your fit over glasses ? Love your videos .

🤓☕️♥️🙏 He's a Kentucky man. Loves your videos. Please keep him coming. You're learning me a lot.

Awesome video Sir and I always Enjoy watching .. Gonna be some good eats tonight WOOOOO .. Stay safe and Keep’em coming 👍👍

Love to watch you fish. Enjoyed it sir

That's how my dad hooked me on fishing when I was a boy too. Only we were using crickets. Couldn't get it baited and back in the water fast enough.

Mr Gene where do you get those baits ?

I wish you would start your own online tackle store. No where around my area would sell 1/100 oz jigs.

The bullhead are running like crazy right now at my lake. Heck of alot of fun and an awesome fight for a smaller fish. Especially on light tackle. Any chance of getting a video of you catching any with some tips?

Handsize Mansize Pansize

Oh yeah , the Ric Flair of crappie fishing is back , wooooo , great video Gene , got a question for you , do you use leader line to main fishing line or just straight fishing line , and if so , how many feet of leader line.

A day on the water with ole Richard chewing the fat would be a priceless moment...catching anything or not.

That is really a beautiful place, what lake is that?

Richard Gene you are the fishing machine!! Your tips have really helped out a lot!

Awesome video man nothing like catching big bluegills 🎣🎣🎣 I’m talking about wooooooooooooo

Sometimes I think that all the electronics and fancy gizmos take a lot of the actual fun out of fishing and make people think they have to have multi thousands of dollars tied up in gear and equipment to be successful and have fun fishing. This video just proves that you can get by just fine using a little jon boat, a cheap trolling motor along with some polarized glasses and a non fancy spinning rod and reel and they still work and catch fish just as good today as they did 60 years ago!

Like your sun hoody. I really need one. Does brite pink work on a brite day ? Have alot left from fishing west coast for summer runs

I love how he sounds out of breath like he's lifting 100 pounds of weights or wrestling with a gator 🤣🤣

Enjoyed your show, Richard. You summarized my testimony on bluegill and redear fishing perfectly. They are oodles of fun to catch and excellent for the table. God bless, Don

08:06. "Poloroid Glasses"....ha...ha

Since you're from the same area I am, what do you consider the best time of day to fish around here ?

One time is all it takes.

Amazing video. Your knowledge is second to none. What was your second set up that you used?🎣😎🙏

Great video, Richard! Momma Sue would be proud of you! God bless ALL of us! WWG1WGA

you are a good fisherman, great entertainer. SMART!!!! Best Boat Layout. I'm trying my best to be just like ya. thanks for sharing. Roll Tide.

Could I use a slip bobber with this technique and still catch fish

Where do you get those 1/100 oz jig heads with those sickle hooks. I can't find them. Also, what size hook....a 6 or 8?

Another goodun 🐖🎣🇺🇸

THE FISHING MACHINE!

Richard have you ever fished BaySprings in miss?

Hi Richard I have notice that the big monster bluegill nest Earley in April when the water is not is hot thin the rest of the summer seems like they don't nest again but in April catch some real big pigs I always tern thim lose and keep the smaller ones there so much fun to catch so I release the pigs for future stock

Your the best happy mother's day to your wife 😊

Where do you buy the ultra light weight jig heads at ?

Wooo

I want to see the strike indicator up close and where to buy them.

Where to get the yellow bait ?

Man i bagged three slabs todays using your methods.🔥🔥🔥

are you traveling in a boat made in Arkansas? I think so

It is so refreshing to see someone fishing without ffs!!!! Thank you Gene!!!

What kind of boat are you in and what size is it? And may I say,,, may God bless you and keep you all the days of your life with your beautiful wife!!! I’m looking for an 8’ or 10’ John boat with a trailer, a small motor and trolling motor and an electric wrench on the trailer. Because of my back surgeries, I can’t lift anything heavy. Any ideas???

Wow, bluegill that size are extremely rare in my lake.

i notice your not using your yellow eagle claw rods anymore,,,,how come?

I was raised on bluegill fishing with my grandfather. Ain’t nothing like the fight on super light line!! Thx for the video!

I am wondering...I think that Nikko Pin Tail 1.9 would be a good Trout rig, too. Anybody got any thoughts on that?

Any tips to find em from the bank this time of year?

💜🎣

Richard captures the essence and intrinsic value of fishing. It doesn't have to be hard. You don't need $10,000 of equipment and electronics. It's just FISHING. Go have fun...and it's good fer ya.

How do you fish like this without getting constantly snagged on the bottom?

Can you send me how to order the blue gil jig?

We went after the bluegill and shell daddy’s on the 1st of May I believe. We caught several but we ended up keeping 27 I believe… It’s plenty to feed our family and then some… We probably could have caught another limit but there was a family there fishing and they weren’t having much luck… I had my glasses on and I could see the bluegill working alive on that bed…😅 We told them to move over about 20 feet and the father threw out and had one as soon as it hit the water… We decided to call it a day and let them have their fun. What was really weird is we only caught like 2 or 3 shell cracker the whole time we were out there. But I caught the biggest one of the day and it was a bluegill/shell cracker hybrid… That was a deep bed that hybrid was on, I bet it was in 10 feet of water… My brother in law barely even seen the beds at that depth. We went to Rocky Mountain in Rome Ga and fished the trophy lake or Heath lake whichever you wanna call it… We seen another RU-vidr while we were there. It was Flukemaster, man I bet he paid dearly for that dang wrap he had on his truck…😂 He wants folks to know it’s him coming… Lmao

How is he able to cast something so light. My 7,6 light rod can’t even toast 1/64 and barley 1/32 and I’m using 10lb braid and that 2lb equivalent to mono

Richard! I can't get enough. I just can't. I'd give anything to go out in a boat with you and Mama Sue both and catch us some bluegill and shellcracker and go home and just cook and eat till we almost bust open. Now that would be a time. Thank you, Richard. That area just looks like a bluegill. I see what you mean.

👍

Good video! When are you show us how YOU cook bluegills?

who cleans the fish?

Found the beds in my area but their small look like baby’s having babies lol 😂only if they was bigger here in the state of oregon I be targeting them all day
