My Favorite Jigs , Jig Heads , and Colors For Crappie Fishing 

You are one of the most humble and helpful fisherman on RU-vid.Keep up the good work sir!

Richard, my wife of 51 years says I yell in my sleep, "Go fishing when you can cause it's good fer ye." Must work cause we just traded our boat for a new boat more equipped for crappie fishing cause "it's good fer ye", Enjoy your channel very much!!

Hey Richard! Thanks for letting us in on some of your fishing techniques. Very successful techniques from the best in the business. Dale Earnhardt Sr. was a great race car driver yet a very humble man. He once said he was the “Jack-of-all-trades” but a master of none.... In my opinion, he was the best to ever do it....and I believe you are as well. #TightLines #BentRods #FullCoolers 🎣😎👍🏽

Going back to Minnesota for the first time in 35 years, my family went every year for 2 weeks for 20years , most of them are gone now, gonna catch a lot of crappie and bass and Northern.

One of the few channels to post crappie fishing content

I don't know of many old timers that will share they're techniques and baits like you have. Thank you Richard.

You remind me so much of my father in law, let me break that down. I grew up in NY catching smallmouth, warmouth (we called em rock bass or rockies) walleye and stuff like that. I joined the Army and moved to TN just up the rd from you. He'd call me up at work and say what time you get off? I'd tell him and he'd say I'll be at the boat ramp and hang up. I knew where he'd be, and we would crappie fish till dark. He passed awayand I stopped fishing for awhile, it brought back too many memories and I just didnt wanna face em. But low and behold I got excited about fishing again and I'm glad. Becasue I absolutely love it. You inspire me to get back out there and just fish because I love it. So props to ya. Anyhow love the videos and I'll keep my eye out for upcoming ones, thank you again for helping me get back into something that I already loved, it's just time for the next chapter. I'm close to the TN river if your up this way it'd would be an honor to fish with you. Thanks again and may God Bless you in your travels and your catches.

I’ve been crappie fishing for 45 years. I’m still learning. The man that thinks he knows it all is misinformed. I appreciate your instructional videos. Just when I think I’ve figured them out, I learn something new. Thanks Mean Gene for being a part of that.

Wish I could like this again, I’ve watched this a few times. Thank you Sir.

Richard what comes out of your mouth is not opinions but facts. You took my fishing skills to a whole new level!

The very best in clean content 😊

I know this is an older video, but I found it interesting watching this video today, yesterday I worked at a guys house and got some crappie rods from him, his name is Mr Jessie here in Texas, and he was good friends with Mr Perry. Mr Perry talked to him the evening before he passed from covid. Mr Jessie gave me a bunch of plastics Mr Perry poured as well as some hand ties Mr Jessie made. I love crappie fishing, and have met some super amazing crappie fisherman. Mr Jessie showed me some of his favorite spots on the lake we fish, and what time of year to go there. Love your videos as well Mr Gene, God bless and keep up the amazing work you do.

Richard Gene you crack me up. No doubt in my mind that you could have your own successful Tv show on one of the outdoor channels. Great ending. Great video.

The man doesn’t even know he’s a legend

By far the most enjoyable fishing videos on RU-vid, you know your stuff. I would love to go fishing with you. What a fun and helpful normal guy.

MR Gene, I appreciate your vidyas especially your humble composure. Most of all, and I mean most of all it is obvious that you are a True American - you have working hands and I enjoy seeing all the things you have built around you - very neat!

THANKS SO MUCH, GENE !!! I really enjoyed this video and I take in high regard, your opinion, on all matters fishing !!! The PROOF IS IN THE PUDDIN FOLKS !! A REAL DOWN TO EARTH FISHING MACHINE !!

Mr. Gene, I have learned so much from watching you over the years. You are truly an expert at what you do. Keep up the great work and keep them awesome videos coming. I would love you fish with you some day my friend. God bless!

Great tips Richard. I think I'll catch a few more because of your advice. I also loved seeing how much you appreciated the wood signs that were made for you. I make those also. It is a lot of work but WELL worth it when someone expresses how much they love the sign. Take care my friend. Thanks!!

Thank You for all you do in sharing your treasure trove of knowledge! I enjoy every one.

The Bobby garland baby shad in live minnow color is my secret for crappie in clear water northern states. That color also works in dirty water that’s why I love it.

Perry's Jigs are awesome. I purchased them because of you Gene and found them to be my go-to when my other go-to's don't work.

Just getting into crappie fishing, your vids are gold. God bless

Thanks Richard Gene! I really enjoyed this video. I have been adopting your technique and will pay attention to jig color depending on water clarity.

Mr. Gene, you are awesome. I appreciate you and your channel so much. You've made me a better fisherman, without a doubt!

Hey richard, I'm not sure when the last time you've done an updated favorite jig video is but maybe time for a new one ? I'm sure the old ones work great but just in case there's something new and exciting. I love watching you, quite the kick in the pants

Great timing with this video Richard, just around the corner for some spring crappie action! I have a t-shirt that says "secret to fishing is to fish where the fish are" I couldn't agree more with that statement! Tight lines are keep on fishing! Thanks.

Great Video Richard... I'm making Notes on the things you share with us... Thank you so much for all your help...

here in TN bobby garland baits in the "Cajun Cricket" color with a 1/16 oz black jighead with chartrus eye work best for me in clear or muddy conditions...but I love blue ice in clear conditions also!
