      Hey Patrick if you are around the Huntsville area and are able I'd be more than happy to take you out fishn. I fish Guntersville and Scottsboro pretty heavily and I fish out of my boat at least 4-6 times a week. Mr.Gene is a legend around these parts not to mention he is the CRAPPIE KING !!!! I'm 45 yrs old and been fishn and huntin my entire life and Mr.Gene is so knowledgeable pertaining to fish,especially Crappie and any type of sun fish.

      Patrick, I get my dad out two or three times a week. He's 84. I have to load him in the boat and I've put handrails up for him to get around the boat. I'm lucky to have been able to retire early and take care of him. Fishing and mowing is about all he can do now. Or put new washers in a faucet, but I get all the tools for him. Take Richard up on this if you can. It'll be good for you and him. I see a lot of old folks that use to fish everyday like my dad. They go down to the boat ramp and see how their buddies are doing. They've sold their gear. I wish they had people that could take them out. Oh, My dad this year is starting to let me run the trolling motor. We've got two chairs up front on a deck boat.

    • @robbyddurham1624
      @robbyddurham1624 5 лет назад +4

      I think a lot of the old daily fishermen couldn't stand to not be in control of the boat. I knew my dad would be pissed at me all the time when I'd run the trolling motor. If he'd fished in the back of the boat like me with him for years, he'd understand.

    Mr. Gene have you ever noticed what type of hook that you uses to gold, verses Aberdeen and so on? Some fellas swear you have to use a gold hook for crappies and I know just enough to make me dangerous, Lol. But I am sure that you would probably know the answer to this question.

  • @dennissmathers898
    @dennissmathers898 4 года назад

    A respectful question. If you are on a catch and release trip, have you considered de-barbing your jig hook? I have started doing that for crappie and bass. My catch totals have not been affected and I find it WAY easier to remove the hook without damage. sometimes i dont even have to handle the fish just shake the line a bit and off they go!

  • @robbyddurham1624

    When Richard says 60 to 62 degrees, does he mean surface temp? I've noticed the surface temp changes during the day with the sun on it.

He starts GRUNTING and HUFFING lol. He is fighting something that had come under the boat and about 20 yards the other side,towards deep water. After about 10 minutes and a breathing treatment (lol) he brought up a Drum about 8 pounds! That was GOOD FER ME! Havent laughed that hard in LOOONG time

He is the ONLY guy on RUclips that actually takes the time to show you and explain what hes using that day. Hes always detailed about jig size, jig color, rod and reel info, what size of line,water depth and temperature. I also wanted to let you know that if you ever wanna go out in the boat with me your more than welcome. I fish Guntersville and Scottsboro 4-6 times a week religiously. Lol. Have a good day buddy.

I especially watch you most of the time now because of the wealth of information you have. I've watched a lot of guys fishing on youtube, but there are a couple of places (when I can get the money to do it because I'm on disability) I would love to take you. You would really love it. Well my friend I have to go. Blessings to you, Mamma Sue, and Boom Dog. Bishop Kirby
