Howdy Folks!! I hope you enjoy the video. I would like to Thank Jeff for sending me the jigs used in the video. I would also like to thank each and everyone of you for watching! I would also like to know what would you like to see more of on the channel? or what would you like to see on the channel that I haven't done? Thank you all for being apart of the channel, it means a lot to me! God bless!
Hey Richard Gene,how bout a stream wading video where you catch your own grampus’s (hellgrammites) and fish for smallmouth,rock bass,etc. I love to that up here in ky. It’s not done much anymore. Most folks would be scared to death of a big ole hellgrammite. Love the videos. Keep’em coming. God Bless to you and Your’s.
And remember Richard, you are being spoiled because you deserve it. What you do on here is greatly appreciated by everyone. You are the ultimate fishing teacher. I personally have learned so much from you.
Thanks for all you do Richard. It’s rare to watch videos without foul language and even more rare for someone to mention our Lord and Savior. God bless you and yours.
I like the "desert water" you talked about. 10% of the water holds 90% of the fish. "Old ways" of finding fish is also great advice. I tell my 11 year-old son that the water birds are the best fishermen anywhere. They fish for a living, LITERALLY! If they don't eat they die! Good video....hopefully we get to fish together one day.
I enjoyed your video, mainly because of your attitude and tenderness🤗 you Sir are a trip! Can you show close-ups of your set up "hook line sinker"?????
Too many people take themselves too seriously. I really enjoy you having some fun and sharing it! It is good info and very entertaining. Thx my friend!!
This has become my favorite type of fishing this year. Started watching you and Catfish Kayak do this and picked up a micro setup myself with 2 lb test line and Gulp Alive blood worms on a tiny jig head. I have caught more fish this summer than I think in any other of my life haha. Great stuff
MR GENE, another great video, i'm a truck driver from Georgia, i live on lake Sinclaire and go fishing when i can, i cant tell you how much i enjoy your videos, makes my day. i would like to see a catch and cook video, keep makin us laugh, your good at it, THERE ELLLLMO
My wife enjoys fishing for gills as much as i enjoy eating them. We really enjoy the enthusiasm that you have for life, fishing and the great outdoors. Thank you sir for the informative videos...
Just wanted to say Thank you ! I love fishing for pan fish but especially for the shell crackers of my youth. I have become disabled so I don't get to do much fishing, but I miss it deeply. You consistently deliver great action and we have been going ultra light for years. How could anyone ask for more from a fishing trip? Thank you and I can taste them 🐚 shell crackers are better than just about any other type of fish. If you can get on them this is my favorite.
Really enjoy you , brother. Nothing better than country folks ! I am from Kentucky, and used to come to Guntersville every spring, but I lost my best fishin buddy to cancer last year. We always enjoyed coming to Alabama, and always released every bass we ever caught . Nothing better than bluegill and shell crackers in the frying pan ! Keep doing what you’re doing ! Roll Tide !!!
I watched one of your videos about how you rigg a slip cork on a rod and reel. I use to put my bead below the cork and above my split shot but on your video I noticed that you put your bead above the cork so l tried that technique at lake Eufaula had much better luck. Caught some monster shellcracker and bream. I got pictures on some of them. Mayflies will be hatching soon
You are a good fishing instructor. You cover the basics and more. I have learned a lot. And I like that you enjoy the sport with your light rigs. Thanks for your help.
We love ya mean gene , old school fishermen are hard to find that is authentic like you are my friend , I’d you ever want to come down an fish pickwick gimme a holler will roll.
I ultralight fish too, but I kinda cheat a bit using 4-6# braid or fireline since the 3-4# smallies and the 30"+ pikes around here have absolutely no problem with eating a #0 Swiss Swing or a 1/32nd oz Beetle Spin, so! Also, more creek wade-fishin' videos!!
Since you requested.. I've been curious how you clean your fish. I don't believe I've seen any fish cleaning videos from you. I apologize if I've missed them. Then again.. fish cleaning videos can create a lot of controversy. Everyone has their way and no other way works.
Years ago, it was common to find fishing corks in a natural color. These corks are no longer available. I take the bright orange color corks and paint them more of a color that matches the water on the lower part. Thank you for sharing your video.
Hubby and I went fishing today. First of season for him. Anyway,we caught a bunch of lil ones,bluegill. If we had caught those size,we'd taken them home too. Good for you
Gene I live in Missouri and I'm a avid fan of your channel, we are looking for place Guntersville so I can enjoy fishing and I envy you...I can't hardly wait to move down your way.
I love your videos , blue gills and red ear are my favorite, its early april here in Indiana, my boyis in army and comes 1st week inmayweek go get use some gills
II literally have this exact same rig. I usually throw trout magnets on it. Catching the big bluegill on lake chickamauga. Then we use em for catfish bait while my wife and kids swim off the back of our pontoon boat.
Great vid. I used some light line and small tackle the other day and caught some very nice blue gills ... the big hump backed, blue jawed gills. LOL. Had a great time. Thanks Richard! Just keep bending that rod for us!
Great video Richard thanks again the more I watch your videos the more I learn your a great fishermen and person I can till and you love fishing it shows great job thank you I'll be fishing Sunday Stockton lake mo crappie
I love to catch bluegill. No boat but there is a fishing barge in the area. I just bought a 21" ice fishing combo and 2# line. Should be close enough to structure now.
Shell crackers.... Up north we call them red ears or red ear sunfish... Took me a min to figure out what you meant...but when you put that camera on it....I knew just what you were talking about..... 😉 Good down to earth content Mr. Gene. 🤠 Best Wishes!
Richard Gene, I really love your Bluegill and Shellcracker videos. How do you cook these guys? Are you frying them, or do you have other methods? Tell us how you eat em'!
I don't have the nerve to use 2 lb line😅. I do use 4 lb . Ihave a few ultralight setups I use for trout and bluegill. It's a lot of fun . I do believe bluegill and shellcrackers are about absolute best tasting fish.
Been awhile since I've watched a video. Very busy as you know Richard. Dem some nice eaters there! My stomach was growling watching them filets come in the boat. I've really enjoyed matching my tackle with my target fish as you talk about. You really respect the power of the fish much more like that. Awesome video Crappie King!
Awesome as always my friend. Would love to see a video on fishing for deep water crappie and how to locate them. Hardest thing for me to get done!! God bless🙏. Go Big Blue💙
I used to love taking my ultralight down to the lake and go after those big bull bluegills. You're surely right about them being good eating. Many nights there's been the pleasure of fried bluegill on the plate. A friend of mine wrote on his Facebook page he saw an alligator on Guntersville the other day. Have you ever spotted one?
