Best RU-vid genuine fisherman

Every day we’re here is a Blessing! Happy Mother’s Day to Mama Sue❤

Hey did you know your famous, not just on RU-vid but tiktok too. Thanks for helping not only me , but so many people out there. We love ya

Richard is The John Prine of fishing..

I just used this wacky rig and caught nice bass on lake Ouachita outside Hot Springs. My sister just got a houseboat there and I told her she should invite you to teach her some techniques. I was catching bass in her cove, listening to the beautiful birds and in awe of God’s beautiful creation. Suddenly, I’m hearing someone singing, I look behind me and she is paddling her kayak out to me with a drink and an egg and sausage burrito! For several years she has been caring for our elderly parents who passed two years ago 2 months apart. We learned the love of the water and fishing from our dear dad. I told her I bet Gene and his wife would love to spend some fishing time on lake Ouachita. We have mainly bass fished and salt water Texas gulf fishing. Would love to learn more about catching crappie. We have found many of the locals to not want to share their crappie secrets or places they catch them. They just said…..” oh we know where the submerged brush piles are”. Well, we never have had “fancy” gadgets for “finding” fish. We were at least going to buy fresh crickets but none of the bait shops had any. We drove 25 min out to Walmart by Hot Springs Village and they didn’t have any. So we watched some of your wonderful crappie videos and were wishing we were on your boat. Im in Memphis and I fish from my kayak at Glen Springs lake mainly for bass. The guys with their “fancy” boats and equipment always want to know how a gal in a kayak has a stringer of bass while they came in empty handed. I just grin, because a kayak is stealthy and I sneak up on them! I could stay out there all day but my legs getting too old to unfold out of the kayak. I just purchased a used Jon boat and haven’t tried it out yet. My son has been too busy and I didn’t want to take it out by myself for the first time. My sweet husband of 46 years has never enjoyed fishing but he is very supportive of my hobbie and never complains when I purchase more poles, tackle, reels, etc….

Richard you do fishing like fishing is supposed to be done. You make me smile every time I watch you. Lot’s of guys take fishing too serious to the point they don’t enjoy it the way it is meant to be. God Bless you Richard

GREEN MEANIES Much LOVE Mr. GENE! APPRECIATE YOU SIR!

I had to watch the outro 3 times. The adrenaline pumping lol

Love this guy's general tomfoolery.

Richard.....you got a Godly attitude

Would definitely vote for Richard ❤

“Just my personal opinion…” Since you are a bass slaying machine, I’d say your opinion is very valuable!!! And I recognize that point you’re on - caught some dingers on topwater plugs right there! Hope to see you on the lake there next month!

Like I always say"Don't call me when I'm on the creek unless it's bad urgent. Thanks so much Richard G. for the info..,...

Richard gene, is a blessing, i dint have many good fishing places around here but he makes me feel like he takes me fishing with his video's. God bless you Mr. Gene

Thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family...🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀

Caught a monster the other day on a wacky rig berkley general! Baby bass color

Love that wacky worm Great video

You’re the best

It's a blessing to have a man of your caliber making fishing videos for us! Wooooo!

Good stuff Richard.

I fill the same way you do brother words can’t describe how I fill about your god bless you and your family

Aw, what practice? You were catching fun-sized bass till your arms got tired. I know how much fun that can be. Can't always get the bigguns. It was a good trip, Richard. I'm awful glad I had the opportunity to go. Were you over near the airport? Wait. Never mind. Don't give it away. 😉🖖‍🎣

VMC makes a crossover ring that let's you rig it 2 different ways. Love the videos. Glad you mentioned Vercille we don't care if he's eating his Boogers or not.

I don’t do much wacky but this was so inspirational im gonna add some wacky to my kit.

I was taught this technique by my neighbor and fishing buddy back in the late 1970's. I was still a teenager and wasn't terribly impressed due to the worm not looking like the worms on the fishing shows of the day. I figured if the guys who have their own tv shows don't fish like this, then it can't possibly work. Im 63 now and will say I have caught about 90% of the largemouth using this technique when fishing a plastic worm. I prefer a 6" Creme worm and put the hook through the egg sack. I also use split shot sinkers about 14"-16" up the line. No other way of fishing a plastic worm has ever worked as well as this for me. Back in the 80's and 90's I had more than a few "experts" laugh at this rig but at the end of the day my stringer was always bigger than theirs. It's caught bass from small farm ponds to lake Okeechobee.

Awesome video Richard, God bless!

Man I can’t believe how far this channel has came… Still the same great content… Even better actually because you’ve got really nice video quality and sound quality and beautiful editing… I know a lot of work goes into editing… Keep ‘em coming Richard. I hit the like button before I even watch the video..😃

This is the fishing equivalent of listening to Wynn Stewart sing. Peaceful and beautiful, just like it should be.

I'D RATHER WATCH RICHARD GENE THAN EAT!!👍👍👍👍WOOO!

Most of my progress in fishN was BC of this man...

Just so happened to catch this right after you posted! Love your content and so does my little girls lol. They've been quoting "go fishing when you can, cause it's gooooood fer ya" for a few years now 🤣🤣

Always happy to see a video posted by Richard

I love that you explain everything you use,and how and why you use it.

Thank you for taking us along. We really do appreciate you. You are the best. We enjoy every trip regardless size or amount. Your a blessing to us as well. God bless you and yours.

The smoothest hook-set in the game

Love watching you fish!!

Congratulations, you are a great successful fisherman. I loved the video.👍🎣🥰 Your fishing gear is fantastic. Hug!!!

Thanks for another great video. Took the family out yesterday and my youngest kicked all our hindends with a methiolite colored zoom trick worm with the tail split! Straight wore em out

Good job brother

Can you use a mini version of this for crappie?

Enjoyed the video Richard ! I use this wacky and stick baits all the time and catch lots of fish !

Mr Richard, you told me exactly what I needed to hear. Last weekend in a 6 acre farm pond, I had 20 bass in one day almost all on top water. My all time PB bass was caught on a craw very slowly fished right on the bottom, he was 19.5" long and perhaps 4lbs. Incredible fishing and an unforgettable weekend. Today, I caught 1 in 3 hours of fishing. I have been feeling stumped because I don't know how to fish the water here, only the farm ponds back home where I caught that hog. The key is gratitude. The bass I caught today was a beautiful, healthy, 2lb male. I'm glad that I met him. It was a wonderful evening of fishing. Thank you Mr Richard.

I absolutely love watching your videos! You remind me so much of my late uncle Floyd. He was born and raised in rural central Florida and loved to hunt and fish. Some of the best childhood memories I have is fishing at his house.

Nice. Yep it seems like right after the spawn it's like all the bass hit in size spurts. Today was a small fish day here. None over 2 pounds. But numbers were awesome... Like that.👍😁

Love that sweatshirt Gene

You ain't lying brother it's definitely a blessing for us to be able to go fishing and to catch them!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤ God bless

THAT IS SO TRUE ANY DAY FISHING IS A BETTER DAY AT WORK IN THE HOSPITAL STRESSING ! JUST A GREAT TIME TO RELAX!!!

I also go fishing but watching you fish is great. have a good day

Thank you for another great video, Richard Gene!

I'm 100% with you about the o rings

Richard, you are the GOAT! Any advice on avoiding gut hooks while using the wacky rig? I unfortunately feel like I hit em in the gills or gut 25% the time with this, but it's a darn effective method.

Your worm will last longer if you screw a pen spring into the worm first, then the hook through the spring.

There is some big ones around. They're just a hell of a lot smarter . Especially in clear water. I caught more of the bigger bass in stained tea color water.

Can’t wait to try this! With the same lure

It's Saturday night, and I finally got a chance to watch your video. I gotta say it was worth waiting for. Have to agree, brother, no one should ever complain when fishing. If you're out , you should enjoy the day God gave you. If you catch a fish, that's just icing on the cake. Thank you Richard for taking us along with you. God bless you and your family. Thank you for all the tips and advice you share with us.

Thanks for another great video Richard. I learn so much from watching!

Richard, have you tried the VMC crossover rings? They would let you hook it with the hook the right direction plus you go through fewer plastic worms.

Thank you much for the advice I've been wondering about the wacky rig I've never used it now I know how to use it thanks to Richard Gene the fishing machine we love you man

Mr. Richard have you ever thought about posting a jugging video? Super fun to do at night with fluorescent spray painted 2L bottles and a spotlight. Be a good video to take a friend or good ole momma sue!!!

Hello Richard, great to see you tonight. Really like your program. learn so much watching you, thank you. Best wishes and have a great evening. 👍

You're 2nd to none, Richard!

Nice video! You've inspired me to try a wacky rig.

If you don't love Richard Gene there's something wrong with you... 🐟

Another great video! Love watching you teach the art of fishing. God bless you.

Great video... I'm ready to see you hook into some monster catfish.

An awesome teacher and sportsman

Thanks Richard. Love ya brother.

Great video Richard, I'm definitely going to try that rig. Keep it up, we love your work.

What a video! What a technique! I am glad I can go back and watch these videos more than once. This one had a lot of great content. Richard you are a real blessing. Everybody should be watching your videos and learning from your years of experience. Especially young fishermen! Glad you are passing your experiences on.

Richard can you do a pressured lake video please no one else will do it … I am asking if you will? Thank you for your great videos

Again another great time spent with you and your fishing adventures. The best of all. You take ur time to explain all ur tricks. Thank you Richard.

my new favorite saying ... "it works alot of times most of the time" Yogi Berra would be proud. I kid with with love.

I really enjoy the way you talk thru your gear and technique not many fisherman share their secrets

That's my favorite way to catch bass!

Thanks for the videos Richard.

Yes sr another quality video

Richard - somebody is making an o-ring now that has an extra little part on it, so that the hook is oriented just like when going thru the worm.

Thank You Richard for the great info and video, I wil gave it a try! God's Blessings Always! 😇

Richard has my vote by all means!!!

Man, I love these videos so much.

Let's get our plars and git em loost 😂 we talk that way down here too. 😊

Love the video!

Thanks for all that you share. I really learned a lot from you.

Thank you for the tips and sharing your knowledge mr. Richard

So glad to have found your channel great clips and really appreciate your tips and tricks. So glad to try some of them!

Great video

The machine is whoooo, the man

@Richard. I use the same method, but have recently decided to go barbless. There are many benefits, including not torturing the fish, avoiding gut hook complications, and less trauma means a quicker return to feeding for the fish. I know it also means that you may lose some, but I think benefits outweigh the risks . Wondering how you feel about this.

Have enjoyed your videos for awhile now and it’s crazy how much fishing knowledge you have and your a great teacher

Time for live bait and fishing under bridges!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!

I just love your videos! I’ve learned more about fishing from you than anyone else! Thank you God bless you !

Richard My PB came on a wacky rig. Learned a lot from you today. I needed to hear what you said about fishing being a privilege. Thanks for the good words.

I like your explanation of things for this type of fishing 👍 🎣 🇺🇸

I like your boat Mr. Mean Gene .. 👍🌞 keep on fishing, I enjoy watching.. 🙂

Great video once again! What kinda braid are you using? I want to try it and don’t know where to start because I’ve never tried it. Thank you for all you do and ROLL TIDE!

Wooooooo!! Elmo like the wacky rig! Another great video brother God bless

I will say using a 7 inch leader with a size 1, 4, or 6 baitholder tied to the main line with a small split shot is great. Can put live nightcrawlers nice fat live worms or trick worms or a mullet colored or smoked colored fluke is money. Put some nightcrawler on trick worms or trophy bass on the fluke, and u get crushed by fish. Especially live fat worms. Sometimes, putting 2 worms on a size 1 baitholder tied to the leader will get you big fish. Yes, a lot of times you'd get a red breast sun fish or blue gill, but cat fish pickerel large mouth crappie and small mouth love em. If you break your rig 1 time retie and use 7 inch leader with baitholder tied to main line weightless, it sinks super slow and less likely to snag. You will catch fish with this rig it's my automatic go-to to fish with. 😊 Finally, if you use a size 1 baitholder on the leader line and use it weightless, put a chunk of fresh cut redbreast and catfish or bass will crush it 😊 Or use the smallest split shot you have. Split shots are easy to get un snagged especially small split shots

Thank you Richard!
