The first fishing plug i bought at the age of 13 was a roostertail and i remember it worked well im 75 now and they still work and Richard your are a good man
Rooster tail ain't a plug. It is a spinner. An inline spinner. Plugs have a body that wiggles, chugs or walks on or through the water. Made o' wood or plastic. Not metal. Usually don't have spinny bits neither.
I'm pretty damn impressed by this guy's power and accuracy with that sledge. I'm always amazed by his ability to catch fish, but he is also very much in shape for his age.
Love it. White Rooster and TN Shad crank was the only thing my late grandad threw...Ever. That old buzzard out fished me more days than not with all my fancy baits. Thanks for taking the time to post yer videos. Our house enjoys every one.
Richard Geeeeeeeeeeeene! Because of you sir, I was able to go out and use your bank jig fishing advice to feel the thump and land a nice little white bass thanks so much for your videos!!!
Imagine being the neighbors and looking outside as you enjoy your morning coffee... and seeing this intro being taped. "Ah... Honey, looks like Mr. Richard is at it again! Yup, half naked with overalls, you guessed it." **chuckles & sips coffee**
I love watching you fish I learn so much I live near carters like here in northwest Georgia. I plan on using some of the things you showed me . Thanks again. Be safe😷👍
Awesome video! My wife and I really enjoyed getting to meet you at the Guntersville Dam today! Too bad the skipjack weren't biting to well. Hope to see you again sometime.
I enjoy your videos keep it up. Your a Goodman showing that an old bait still works that you can get at a local Walmart and not trying to push a brand just to make a buck. Keep it up! My favorite videos to watch on you tube.
I love this chanel by far my favorite fishing chanel on youtube...but yeah the elmo came out in as he was a slamming that 2×4 put hurt on it lol and caught some fish to go with it...keep up the good work Richard Gene
Been a big rooster tail fan ever since I started ultralight fishing. I still remember buying the little Mitchell Spidermite Ultralight reel. Put it on an Ugly Stick,and I was addicted. Fished the Eglin AFB reservation ponds with it,farm ponds up in lower Alabama...and Pea River,in the same area. Little creeks were my favorite, still are. Good times!
Great video Mr Gene. I went night fishin this last Sunday-Monday night and was catchin tons of whites and largemouth in the middle of the night. Had a blast, I could see millions of minnows and shad under the pier lights. Wish I could go fishin with you and Elmo.
Some of my largest Spots have been found dangling from a white rooster tail. Always have at least three in the tackle box. No telling how many I have bought over the years. Great video, Richard.
Reminds me of walking creeks with my dad when I was growing up casting small yellow with black dot rooster tails for bream or whatever else would bite. LOTS of jacks caught on em too. Be well my friend!!
Richard had to share this with my life long best friend, since we first met in high school he has joked about the power of a rooster tail for fish catching. I will be seventy this year, sure wish we were out fishing again this spring ,fishing friends are good friends. Love him,and your videos,especially the memories this one gave me.
I remember using a rooster tail when I fished with my Dad 60+ years ago Richard. They have been around a long time! Glad to see you using it and giving me a nice walk down memory lane. Best wishes.
RGFM showing off those guns and ageless athletic Carpenter’s physique in the ole-skool OshKosh B’Gosh overhalls...lolzzz...man, what a supreme Master Jedi!
Me and the wife found your youtube channel just the other day and we have been watching every video we can! love all the catfish videos and looking foward to seeing alot more! Fish on buddy and roll tide!
Rooster tail is one of my go to trout lures. Keep that Elmo working. He might just build you a shed to put the boats in for a nap. After he does you can take him out fishing for once.
I live in Attalla, and have been going up to Guntersville Dam to fish since I was a little kid with my father. My wife and I frequent it often just to have a fun time. To this day it is still my favorite place to fish, second place is Smith Lake Dam at Sipsey Fork. Really enjoy your videos man, keep up the good work!
Your a great fisherman. You are just as good as Bill Dance, Jimmy Houston or any of them others that we could only watch on TV on Saturdays mornings. You tube brought an entire different dimension to it. You can learn to do it your self and you have a free platform to put it on. I hope you make a million dollars fishin.
You are such an inspiration to my husband and I. We found your videos last year and we have learned everything we needed to know about crappie fishing. Would love to fish with you one day!
Very entertaining video. The rooster tail is my go to bait when nothing else works. I sit here in this cold weather and wish I could be fishing where you are. I just bought a kayak for fishing and will be going when it warms up this coming speing. Thanks for you videos.
Really enjoyed your video today thanks for sharing reminds of of a great time I used to have with my Grandpa at the big G dam all he had in his fishing box was rosters tails and spoons different colors and sizes have a awesome evening sir 7-10-04 I’m in Attalla Alabama
I caught my PB large mouth on a yellow/orange rooster tail. 6lb 9oz. Was fishing for bluegills for catfish bait. Was an awesome moment. Swear by these things!
Every tackle box should have a few Rooster Trails in it. I;ve found the whites, yellows and Tenn. SHAD colors to be the best over the years. Great job of fighting those rocks below the dam.
Gene with all the negative crap going on in the world. I can't help but to thank you for the enjoyment this old fisherman has gotten' from yore channel. Ya'll have been a blessing. Capt. Roggiedale
The fishing is impressive, but he hit that 2x4 clean three good times and that's worth mentioning too.
4 times
Superd00dz - something tells me that between Richard and “Elmo”, they can do almost anything!! Haha!
4
Some of us know what that is all about.
Blue collar men we are.
13 hours a day.
Facts...I was like that boy gene is a beast lol
😂 swinging that hammer like a 20yr old still in good shape old man!
The first fishing plug i bought at the age of 13 was a roostertail and i remember it worked well im 75 now and they still work and Richard your are a good man
Are you really 75
Rooster tail ain't a plug. It is a spinner. An inline spinner.
Plugs have a body that wiggles, chugs or walks on or through the water. Made o' wood or plastic. Not metal. Usually don't have spinny bits neither.
Why you say it like that lol
Roostertails aren't plugs.
but I ain't 75 so what do I know.
Im a Blue Fox man, anyways.
@Luke Kinser if so, hes senile.
My 5yo son and were just looking to see if you had new one up. We watch you fish at bedtime
My son and I do the same. Noice!
Im gonna like these comments now. Thanks.
That’s called raising kids the right way! 👍🎣

I'm pretty damn impressed by this guy's power and accuracy with that sledge. I'm always amazed by his ability to catch fish, but he is also very much in shape for his age.
I absolutely love rooster tails, there a classic and catch all species big and small, my favorite bait
Me too,sir! Best lure to have with you at all times.... just my opinion.
The Boss with Trout as well. While not the same thing....I found Panther Martins seem to give me better results...why? No idea
@@adamparsons1725 yes panther Martin's are the best.
@@bobfisher1299 Blue Fox.
Keep crankin them out and I'll keep watchin. You are the most versatile fisherman on RUclips.
I love it. And seeing all the comments from people who like fishing with rooster tails as much as I do.
Love it. White Rooster and TN Shad crank was the only thing my late grandad threw...Ever. That old buzzard out fished me more days than not with all my fancy baits. Thanks for taking the time to post yer videos. Our house enjoys every one.
Don't stop doin what you're doin Richard.
Great video for old times! Good ole rooster tail. keep'em coming!!
We love ELMO!!!
I love how calm you are when you catch a fish. All the other youtubers go crazy when they get a hit and ur calm and its so nice. Thank you
Thank you for continuing to make good clean videos that so many of us can relate to.
Thanks Richard Gene the fishing machine get some sandies
Thanks for the helpful tips
Richard Gene you are most certainly a fishing machine. Stay healthy, stay awesome. You remind me of what my dad called, “good people”.
You're the man Richard! Best fishing channel on RUclips. You deserve so many more subscribers. Keep doing you buddy!
If there is one lure everybody needs to have in their tackle box, it's a rooster tail. Great video. Thanks, and God bless.
Rooster tail and mepps spinners are perfect for kids to start with. I've caught everything that swims with them.
What are mepps spinners?
Mepp spinners are my favorite. #2 gold and #3 gold. I've caught huge and small largemouths, brimms, and crappies with it.
A fisherman, well, he’s second to none! Love you Richard, you’re an inspiring and intrepid fella!
Richard Geeeeeeeeeeeene! Because of you sir, I was able to go out and use your bank jig fishing advice to feel the thump and land a nice little white bass thanks so much for your videos!!!

Awesome video loved the sportsmanship helping the fellow fisherman your the man and God bless you brother
I love watching you fish I learn so much I live near carters like here in northwest Georgia. I plan on using some of the things you showed me . Thanks again. Be safe😷👍
I was just throwing a white rooster tail yesterday. Been a go to since I was a kid. Love your vids man.
Great video...👊🏼

Way to stay level headed at the end of today's video. And thanks for wearing that beautiful Crimson cap with the magnificent White A.
By far the best fishing channel you could open a fishing show on TV. And it would be a very much watched show by a lot of people
I love this chanel by far my favorite fishing chanel on youtube...but yeah the elmo came out in as he was a slamming that 2×4 put hurt on it lol and caught some fish to go with it...keep up the good work Richard Gene
Great video on rooster tail. Enjoy your videos
Elmo seems to be pretty handy with a saw and hammer, make sure he don't lop off a finger. Thanks for the video.
Nothing like one of his videos to get you in the mood for a new fishing season. I've got 2 rooster tails to try this year....
Been a big rooster tail fan ever since I started ultralight fishing. I still remember buying the little Mitchell Spidermite Ultralight reel. Put it on an Ugly Stick,and I was addicted. Fished the Eglin AFB reservation ponds with it,farm ponds up in lower Alabama...and Pea River,in the same area. Little creeks were my favorite, still are. Good times!

I've worked with several Elmos in my logging career. More than several actually.

Richard you are a legend. Keep it up!
Hey Richard ....I am impressed ....I am 67 and you handle a sledge almost as good as me 👍
Rooster tail is one of my go to trout lures. Keep that Elmo working. He might just build you a shed to put the boats in for a nap. After he does you can take him out fishing for once.
I'm here for the sledge swingin' tutorial. Fish were cool too 😂
I live in Attalla, and have been going up to Guntersville Dam to fish since I was a little kid with my father. My wife and I frequent it often just to have a fun time.

Mr. Fishing Machine I sure do enjoy your videos. Thanks, Mike in OKC.
Excellent vid!

Your a great fisherman. You are just as good as Bill Dance, Jimmy Houston or any of them others that we could only watch on TV on Saturdays mornings. You tube brought an entire different dimension to it. You can learn to do it your self and you have a free platform to put it on. I hope you make a million dollars fishin.

Learned not to mess with Richard... Y'all see him swinging that hammer?! THAT'S A MAN RIGHT THERE!!!
You are such an inspiration to my husband and I. We found your videos last year and we have learned everything we needed to know about crappie fishing. Would love to fish with you one day!
The boys across the pond make some fine fishing lures.
Man Rich you and Elmo have to be one of my Favs. Keep it and the info it always appreciated! Thumbs up Sir!
Rooster tails have been in my tackle box for 53 years. The brown is good for trout in mountain water.
Man! I need to practice my baitcasting technique. A rooster tail on a baitcaster is phenomenal casting! Lol love the video as always!
Dreama Kennedy-Short
They make in line spinners 0.5 oz. and up
That 1/2oz Rooster will throw it a mile!!! Thowed a bunch of em in my time myself y'all. God bless you RG! Keep a chunkin'....
Rooster tail is a bad mama jama for sure.. u made me laugh , needed it this morning. Thanks ✌️
Very entertaining video. The rooster tail is my go to bait when nothing else works. I sit here in this cold weather and wish I could be fishing where you are. I just bought a kayak for fishing and will be going when it warms up this coming speing. Thanks for you videos.
Really enjoyed your video today thanks for sharing reminds of of a great time I used to have with my Grandpa at the big G dam all he had in his fishing box was rosters tails and spoons different colors and sizes have a awesome evening sir 7-10-04 I’m in Attalla Alabama
Buen video, con cucharilla Rooster tail es un placer pescar. Eres un gran pescador , felicidades veo tus vídeos muy seguido.
Yep rooster tails and beetle spins have caught me alot of fish as well. Great video.
Wow the way he swung that hammer and nailed it spot on was impressive!!
They do catch anything that swims ! 😂👍🏼
Great video Richard! I’ll have to try me some rooster tails
Do it,Ike! Unbelievable how many fish they will trigger.
Hmm I might just do it
I caught my PB large mouth on a yellow/orange rooster tail. 6lb 9oz. Was fishing for bluegills for catfish bait. Was an awesome moment. Swear by these things!
Every tackle box should have a few Rooster Trails in it. I;ve found the whites, yellows and Tenn. SHAD colors to be the best over the years. Great job of fighting those rocks below the dam.
Killer intro by Elmo, he knows his stuff! As always superb video!
Thanks for sharing, God bless!!!
Been using them primarily for forty years and they will get everything.Caught a 22" hybrid last week on one.Best spinnerbait there is.
Can’t wait to share this with the boys
Folks I have had the pleasure of watching another great video of "The Machine" !!
RG thanks for another great video 🇺🇸👍
I love a rooster tail and my favorite is a Panther Martin ! Stay safe
Elmo clip had me losing it at the beginning. Love your content dude.
Love the passion this man has, he helped me get back into the sport! Thank you sir
Looked like they loved that rooster tail. We have some of those hybrids down here too. Great fight, love catching them!!
Hard to beat those Old School lures. I still catch fish on Rooster Tails, Jitterbug, and Devil's Horse. Keep up the awesome videos, Richard.
always been a fan of rooster tails. Caught about everything on them
Thanks for the phenomenal Elmo intro
Great Rooster Tail action!
Roostertail, my own go-to lure. ☺️
Thanks there Richard
A great episode
Richard Gene, you the man!
Nothing like a good ole rooster tail👍🏼💥🐟
