THAT IS NOT A BASS!!! Surprise Catch While Fishing Googan Squad Jig! 

I've been a fan of yours for years sir. I didn't have anyone to teach me to fish when I was young. I picked up the sport of fishing to keep myself out of the trouble I was getting into. Your videos have helped me become a pretty good angler and changed my life. I don't know where I'd be without fishing. Thank you so much for all that you do. All of the videos, old timey secrets, being a good man and having God in your heart. God bless you and your family.

Imagine sitting in a dingy with a cold beer floating around, then you see Richard flooring it in a bass boat screaming “WOOOOO YEAHHHH” 😂

I’m a train conductor and can tell you we would much rather be fishing!

Richard Gene with the googan squad video is what we all need!

I found out about you through Jimmy Huston and man you are great person bringing God and fishing together just like Jimmy does. I just wanted to let you know you have a fan here in San Diego!!!! 🙏🏻👍

That second big cat is gonna be hearing WHOO! in its sleep tonight. Lol, good stuff man loved it.

When I see a new video of The Fishing Machine my day gets 10x better

I'm just gonna go ahead and *click like* before even watching the vid... 😊😊

Praise Jesus Richard! You are a light on this earth...I'm goin fishin cause its good fer me...again! Love your videos, when my back goes out of whack, i go fishing with you on the youtube...peace from me n ri-ri.

From road rage to rail rage to lake rage- only richard gene the fishing machine takes you on the lunker roller coaster ride in under 20 minutes per video.

How could someone dislike a Richard gene fishing episode, I disagree with you, keep em coming Richard, Elmo wouldn't want you to quit

Easily the best fishing show on RU-vid. Second to none. Thanks again, Richard, for another awesome fishing adventure and lesson.

Anybody that puts a thumbs down on any of Mr. Genes videos well there’s something wrong with them!!!! Lol!!

You got my vote for “BEST DRESSED” angler of the year! You always rockin the freshest kicks and the red laces are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is by far my favorite channel to watch, what I love about you is your humbleness. The way you share your knowledge is second to none. I am a South African and will surely take what I have learned from you back home and use it there, if I have one wish then that would be to fish with you before I go back home.God bless you Richard, take care and be safe.

I'm a old Northern geezer, Richard, who enjoy pursuing bluegills and crappies. A surprise fish for me would be a healthy Northern Pike. Your catfish encounters while seeking bass takes me back 50-60 years and my experiences with bluegill tackle and a pike latches onto the bate, sometimes including the bluegill that was hooked. Occasionally I used a short steel leader but most of the time not and without steel or 30+ pound leader, pike are going to bite through the line. It's such a pleasure to watch you taking your time to land the cats then gently release them back to the depths. It brought back old memories for me of times past. Thanks for sharing and God Bless you always.

Richard thank you for your entertainment and enthusiasm with fishing. Cable TV has nothing to offer any more so I rely on you and Jimmy Houston for my entertainment.

I watch a lot of fishing RU-vidrs but you're the only one I would actually pay to go fishing with!!!

Richard Gene is second to none.

When your channel gets found by the fellows who "think" they know how to fish.. your gonna blow up. Best freshwater information I've found by far.

I pulled a hook out of my thumb yesterday following the instructions of Mr. Richard. Saved me a visit to the doctor. I said, "thanks God for Richard Gene the Fishing Machine!"

How could anyone dislike your videos, Richard?! They should be required to leave a comment when disliking! Keep up the amazing work and thank you for your videos!

Richard Gene using the googan baits. Wow. The googans should be proud.

I love it when you slam the throttle on that yammerhammer and woo!

I think there's only one person who loves the sport of fishing as much as me and that's the machine

We love you too Richard Gene and God Bless You.

Richard Gene the Fishin Machine, you sir are so underrated. I can't wait for spring to try the stuff you've taught me!!

My boy just caught his first 3 to 4 pound catfish with stick bait and I got it on video. One of many Memories to last a lifetime. Love it!

It's the "wonder" of it all that makes ya get so excited. When you have the "wonder" it's like you're a kid at heart and you'll always love the sport second to none.

0.46 Whoo, whoo, hits the throttle Whooooooo! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Richard gene is the best fisherman on RU-vid!

You are a living legend! Slammin fatties on a finesse jig??? For real?!?! You are a treasure my friend. My kids and I absolutely LOVE you!

...and the jig just fell out! Golly Ned, Richard Gene! lol

I'll tell you Richard you made my day brother. Ive got a lot going on and Ive down mentally but this brought me up and made me smile

Richard Gene you are a fisherman second to none. Always enjoy your videos. Never, never get tired of them. Thank you.

Dude...I like you more than the Googan Squad...YOU ARE REAL!!!!! Not all sponsored and big time and blah blah....Lake Fork Guy is awesome too...he is humble...but...the others...TOO BIG FOR THEIR BRITCHES! You ALWAYS take the time to explain and just be awesome.

Yes sir!Let's catch another one!🎣

Can’t help but smile! Thank you Sir!

What a jig fish!!!

Gene you are a HOOT to watch! Enjoy ya, bud!!

0:45 Gene: Woo Gene: Wooooo Boat: Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Gene: Wooooooo0000000!!

Watching you has re-invigorated me in fishing again.. I was a catfish man for years, pulled a giant or two out of Norris Lake in TN.... Nothing like what you catch, but way big enough for me!! You gave me the "WANT" to try a baitcaster and go back to bassin, so i got me a 8.5:1 Shimano Curado DC where i am a beginner, i matched it with a Cadence 6.6 CR6B Medium fast rod off of your recommendations for the Cadence rod brand.. (MAN WAS YOU RIGHT ON THE MONEY)!!!! Nothing like a good Cadence CR6B!!! Within the first 2 casts with the Curado DC, i had to set it from #2 Braid setting to max wide open on #1 practically no brake Curado DC setting!! I just picked up on it that quick thanks to you and learning your techniques!!! Been bombing those casts since!! Heck, i am so in love with bait casters i went today and got me a brand new LEWS Tournament MP pro 8.3:1 mated to a Vengence Abu 7.3 rod. I wanted another 6.6" rod but they was out.... I plan on downsizing the rod with another Cadence 6.6, to me the Medium fast is a much better feeling combo that is (MORE THAN CAPABLE) of a 15lb+ Large Mouth!! I am running 30LB Power Pro braid based off your recommendations on my Curado DC and 50lb Spider Braid on the new Lews Tournament MP Pro... Got a deal on the Spider 50lb braid, 300yd was same price as the Power Pro 150yd, couldn't pass up double for actually less at Wally World!! I swear you strike me as a born and raised KY/TN guy, your accent sounds from the hills just like me..... Heavy and fun... Just a good ol boy lol... Thank you Mr Richard Gene, for re-invigorating my love of the sport of fishing, you are absolutely right with your products and recommendations, And you are (ABSOLUTELY RIGHT) there is no other sport better that (ANY) man/woman can succeed or fail in depending on how much or how bad they want it than the sport of fishing!!! I LOVE IT!! Adam Gibbons Bloody Harlan Co USA

My husband caught a blue catfish on a bass jig. He was so shocked. That cat fish in hailed it. And then I caught a channel cat on a senko. There's definitely a first time for everything. Great video!! Stay safe and God Bless 🤗

Richard Gene goes bass fishing with a jig and catches a big ole flathead . I know what you mean . I caught a 41in Musky fishing for bass once . That was a fight. I was lucky that it didn't break my line . Thank you for your wonderful channel

My dad always had a couple of jars of Uncle Josh Parkin his tackle box. He fished the phosphate pits near home along with Okeechobee, Kissimmee chain and river. I wish I’d been able to keep his tackle boxes and rods... but, I was active duty and overseas when he passed. I was 27 and he was about 52 so I’ve been without my fishing dad since 1976... sure missed him when I was teaching my boys to fish. Great video... I’ve been given a kitchen pass so hopefully can get out there soon.

Wow!!! What a flathead!!! THANK YOU MR. GENE FER EVERYTHING YOU DO!!! I love your content and you are a great fisherman!!!
