THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!
I've learned more from your channel than I ever have any place else. Now that I'm retired it's a good time to pull out my old (and I do mean OLD) rods and reels, plow off the dust and try my hand at it again. Thanks Gene for keeping it real and fun. Love your channel. God Bless
I SAY CATCH AND RELEASE IS A GREAT PRACTICE... CATCH EM AND RELEASE EM IN A COOLER FULL OF ICE.
Thankfully he's putting em back for you to catch next time!
Best fishing videos out there. No high dollar bullshit but tons of knowledge. Thanks Richard!
The Lean Gene Fishing Machine is back baby!!! Hide your kids hide your carp, he hookin everybody out here!
This comment made me laugh so hard

Good Job Mr Rich. love how you stay such the southern Gentleman. keep up the vids please. Best tv a trucker can have. Rooooooollllllllllllllllll Tiddddddddeeeeeee
Thank you Edric! and will do! Roll tide!!! brother!!
Richard Gene The Fishing Machine geaux tigers!
Richard, hands-down this is my favorite fishing video I’ve ever seen because of not only of all the fish you caught but that last part when you were dancing, brother that made my day I love it when you do that crazy stuff don’t hold back!!
And that is how you do it thank you so much Richard I so much enjoy your show your Christian attitude and everything you bring to the channel it's just a pleasure to see your show
Richard you are the best fella.
Great video as always Richard! I've been having some of the best crappie fishing of my life on the coosa by the Jordan lake dam and on the Alabama River in Montgomery. Trying to use different weights and jigs, but casting a 1/8 oz black and chartreuse tube is my confidence. Do you fish down here at all? keep up the great work, love your videos!
I never have fished thier, But would like to one day! Thanks for watching Anthony!
how to locate crappie almost ANY TIME of the year.
cut down cedar trees
get equal amount of cinder blocks
tie cedars to cinder blocks at base
take cedar trees to desired fishing area
drop anchored trees in desired fishing area in zig zag pattern at appropriate depths.
fish will immediately begin to shelter and nest ( egg laying ) in and near the cedars.
catch more fish than any human could possibly eat..
Damn thats a good idea. I might do that for my grandmas pond to add structure and fish habitat. Fuckin genius!
My buddy told me he likes to make tops with green pin oak tree he said works better than cedar tops he sinks them same way that you do. I'm more into catfishing myself.
@@justinsigmon1878 i prefer crappy and largemouth fishing . this design regardless of the trees/ scrub used creates a breeding / hunting ground for the fish. even if you never fish the area - it still establishes a breeding and hunting field and the fish will repopulate much more quickly. enjoy.
@@mixter7x7 awesome thanks. Anyone that makes the outdoors better is good with me.
Always enjoy watching
Thank you southern fisherman!
Thank you, for good clean, educational fishing and tips. learned a lot watching you.again, thank you,always look you your videos,,
Thank you Milton! Glad you enjoy my videos!
I know nothing about fishing - and really enjoy watching your videos. Trying to learn the crappie game, and you teach well. Thanks for putting this out there!
I just discovered your channel yesterday and I've been watching them back to back. It's good to know thier are still some folks out there that love the Lord and ain't afraid to admit it. Thank you
Great video. I have seen a few of your crappie fishing videos. you were all nearby the bridge columns during the summer. I started crappie fishing a few weeks ago. I had a lot of hits during the spring, but got less and less as the temperature rises. I fished on a fishing pier that does not go very deep. 8 feet at the most. Do you have any other areas that you would go beside a bridge column during the summer? I do not have a boat, and I would love to keep doing crappie throughout the summer. Thanks!
Crappie can be caught from the bank in the summer provided the water is deep enough and their is available forage such a shad. It's alot harder to catch crappie (outside of spawn during spring). Crappie tend to go deeper in the summer so bank fishing can be especially hard during summer. I have been challanged by a viewer to catch some from the bank so I should upload that soon! I will try to get into a deeper explaination on how i do it when I upload it Because Even at the moment I don't know how I'm going to aproach it LOL. Thank you so much for watching hong pan!
Where are the other fisherpeople on this lake? Here at Table Rock Lake you would have a dozen boats trying to get in on the action.
They are their but this is not a well known crappie spot. Most of the People fish "honey hole" areas that are know by the fisherman. I usually stray away to locate my own spots. Thank you for watching Edward!
A green & white Squirmin' Squirt from Bass Pro is a really good jig for Crappie. As well as Bass, Blue Gill & Catfish. Give it a try sometime.
I'll have to give it a try! Thank you for watchng Rodeoman!!
I use hotdogs to sometime the best hair in my opinion is night crawlers or
Hotdogs or last night i caught a catfish off a lunchable the cheese in it
i would be eating real good that night
He must not eat fish. I've never let a crappie go back. I dont even care if I catch one.
Richard can you tell us what the crappie look like on the depth finder .Are there a pattern they use.
On my particular depth finder they appear as little dots. thanks for watching Eddie!
cool vid bruh...keep it up and try oklahoma for some crappie, caught a couple 2 lb white crappie in a pond behind shopping center
Thank you Jay! And will do!
Excellent video Richard, very informative. I am going to try that slack line dropping technique for sure.
I don't know how the heck you keep your boats so clean of all the junk and what not which seems to clutter up my jon boat... but whatever yer doing keep doing it !
Thank you Fish on and will do!
Hey, did Elmer lone you his boat or do you have more than one? Or did you just remove the green astro turf? Kinda of caught my attention. You know your fishing. Nice Crappie. Enjoy your videos. Thanks Machine.
Gary C He's got 2 boats, he made a vid showing his set ups
Just subscribed I'm close but mainly fish Pickwick and Wilson since their closer lol
Thank you Lance! I love to do some small mouth fishing over their!
Richard Gene The Fishing Machine yep large mouths are getting better finally too
Best way I know to locate a school of crappie is by catching one and hook on 20ft of line and a bobber and release the fish. He will join up with his buddy's. If you don't follow to close he will lead you to the school of fish.
Thanks for sharing really cool vid
Richard I enjoyed watching you catch those crappie! Are you going to do any bass fishing in the future?
Thank you Lee. Yes in the very near future. I've had alot of request for bank fishing for bass so i plan to have one uploaded in the next couple weeks hopefully!
Richard you are a coosa machine. good to see someone killing them in my home waters. I've learned alot from your videos
Thank you James!
Crappie and other freshwater panfish taste best in spring, fall and winter.
one of the best video on crappie fishing ever !!!
Thanks Richard.
No problem Michael! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for video jesus loves u
Glad to see you supporting an arkansas boat maker.roll tide?
great video as always! how do you choose the color of the lure for the summer? is it trial and error every day or are there certain colors you start with and move on from there?
I choose my colors based on the clarity of the water and the weather. In my opinion in clear water natural colors such as shad colors or bluegill colors seem to be more effective. In dingy water caused by excessive rain fall, I use colors that are more visible to the fish like chartruse and jigs that have red or pink in them. Thanks for watching Jase!!
Richard, yo da man.....I love to crappie fish and have learned a bunch from you. Keep up the good fishin'.
Thank you Steve! And will do brother!
Loved the video and you are very good at teachin' too.....fished Wiess Lake many times, flippin docks and chasing those spotted bass.....moved up to NE Tennessee a few years ago so still learning the best fishing spots.....enjoyed and subbed. Thanks for sharing.....keep em coming please.
Thank you For Watchig Bill glad you enjoyed it! and will do!
"Let me try to do this normal" LOL well you tried. Normal was that last clip at the end and you know it.
Your right I do know it! LOL thank you for watchin Preachers day off!
Alright Richard...I do appreciate your opinion. As far as I'm concerned you are right on most of the time...The proof is in the catchin'... Yes sir..
LOL Thank you Mike!
Another nice video Richard! Thanks for dummy downing it as much as possible for slow minded ppl like me😂😂👋
Lol Xander Vo thank you for watching! Always a pleasure to read your comments!
Coming from a fan of "the old fisherman". Love the video man. And I especially like the way you end your videos. Give it up man. lol Great opinions and advice. Thank you
Those long shaft trolling motors make it a bear to self launch. Nicely done SIR. I have same issue with my Terova, if I launch and try to motor off trailer. The Terova does give me great help. Its the auto pilot motor. Cedar Bluff, is that at R&l location? Been so long I cant even remember the stores name. lol I am on the other had absolutely sure that a mighty fine seafood restaurant is close to Ceder Bluff. Think was called Light House something or another. Dang oldtimers lol
What was the name of that soft plastic you were using?
Bobby garland. Thank you for watching Luis!
oh you a Bama fan? I'm from same town as Joe Namath. Sr. WR Robert Foster is from down the road. Coached against that boy and threw everything at him, couldn't stop him.
If you would like to go fishing with me I got a bridge at goose pond we can go. I'd love to met you and share some crappie techniques. Just let me know.
Ok Derek Maybe one of these days I can!
great info.... thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching Sea Dragon Angler!
What poles and reels are you using? I'm primarily a bass fisherman but i've got a sweet tooth for crappie and i'm wanting 2 or 3 good rigs. I do have a boat, I prefer jigs [cause I ain't no good at using minnows].. Any suggestions?
For the rod 6ft eagle claw light action. The reel I like a garcia soron i think its called. For jigs cant go wrong with bobby garland! Thanks for watching Jacob!
this will help me on lake lanier here in GA, only it's mostly clear all the time and over 130ft deep in the middle
Glad My videos can be of some help! thank you for watching Jeremiah!
always enjoy your videos, learn lots, love to see you catch fish, just great clean fun, thank You
I appreciate you showing and telling and demonstrating how to catch these beautiful fish. I love watching your channel please never stop.
Richard I'm going to chime in again. You mention shad. Are they schooled up or individual shad? Do you find them on the thermocline? Do you see the thermocline on the fish finder? The shad where I fish seem to school in huge schools at different depths. Wish I lived close to the two lakes you fish because you share just where the fish are found at different times of the year which makes the search for the crappies much easier. Great videos with a bit of humor. By the way, I've been fishing since I was 2 years old, ha!!!
When I fish vertical structure such as bridge columns i'm only looking for the thermocline their beside the columns Or how deep the shad are running. Usually I'll fish a couple ft higher in the water column then where the shad are becaue crappie always feed up.
Great Vid! My son and I are both new to fishing and watching your videos is teaching us quite a bit. If your ever in Southern California, we'll be looking for you!, Keep the videos coming. P.S. you got two new subscribers!
Thank you I ch! Glad you and your son enjoy my videos!!
caught 60 crappie yesterday water temp 80 fairmont mm. 15 to 20 ft water 12 feet deep biting on everything.
Very nice Jeff! Great trip!!
thank you for the tips I'm just getting into the crappie fishing and trying to find them but not doing to bad . been using a green light at night with a green grass hopper from power bate that works pretty good. but throw the day seems like every thing will hit it ( crappie, bluegeal ,bass, catfish , and so on. love your energy .have been fishing some Collins but didn't think about the back side out of the current good tip thanks. keep your hooks wet and your back dry!
Thank you Mryoutub59!
As Always , another good video. In the summer, I see people pulling crank baits or jigs out the back of the boat for crappie. Are they fishing for scattered suspended crappie or schools near structure? Your successful technique today is totally different . What are the conditions that would make either or both techniques successful? Thanks
I think Both techniques can be successful at any time because their a different patterns for crappie at any given time. Even on the same day you could find several different patterns crappie will use. Yes your right about the crank baits they are used for scattered crappie over creek channels and drop offs. Thanks for waching Ronald!
what was that stuff in the bottle that he rubbed on The Jig
powerbait crappie attractant
Awesome video. Got me a bridge up my way and gonna give it a try next time I go. Also love that Alweld boat. I have a stick steer Alweld. Love it.
Thank you Derek! Alwelds are great boats!
Well I'm from down here in Tallahassee Florida and fishing lake Talquin ,most of our fish caught even from the docks can be any where from 12 to 16 inches ! Minnow and cork anywhere from three to 5 feet deep . Black or white crappie. 10 inches size limit . 25 fish minimum. This is a year round fish spot . And plenty on strippers but , I wish we had more white bass ! They are not being caught with size to much . Plenty on big channel cats though . Shad are running in very big schools all the time . Even more so in the winter . Look us up and come try us out , I bet your fishing show would be off the hook !
Makes. It look so easy great your awesome
Thank you for the secrets! Others in Arkansas will not share secrets for new fisherman,
Heart broke a lil when he turned and put that first one back in water haha. Great video tho. Crappie on!
Thank you Devon!
whats the make and model of that boat u have
Its an alweld 2011. Thank you for watching Sebastian
Great vids tell me your top two favorite Crappie plastics and colors?
Thank you Dennis! My top two is bobby garland pink phantom and blue ice. I also like strike king lightning shad.
Richard are you gonna try to do a summer crappie vid on Guntersville? Would love to see it.
deffintly here soon! Thanks for watching Jay!
Dang you're a fishin fool. You help me catch more crappie. It's that simple. Thank you so much.
Thank you Ben B.!
Man u r becoming my favorite youtuber
wooo woooo!!! as always great job!
Another great video Richard.. Did you ever think about adding some steps to your trailer.. Makes getting in and out/launching the boat so much easier.. i own a 3 step with a handle on my SeaArk.. bad back and bad leg.. sure makes a difference.. Purchased mine off of Easy Step.. couple of measurements and he'll fix you right up.. Just a thought... Us older/younger 😁 fellas got to try and look out for one another..lol .. Keep those vids. coming.. my son and i really enjoy watching your vids..CAUSE IT'S GOOOOOD FOR US !!!!...😃👍
really really love that boat...I like the simplicity....we have a 14.5 ft lowe that is 54 inches wide...bought around 1988 and love it..we put some flooring and carpet down, seats, foot control trolling mtr, fish finder and a little B&S 5 hp outboard....we rebuild about every 5 years and its been a good boat....no leaks either....but would love to have an outfit like yours....very nice.
Thank you Bill!
I enjoy your videos. I'm a subscriber, too. I appreciate the information you always share. You need a cupholder in your boat. lol As you always say, "fishin' is good fer ya'! (smoking isn't though....not preachin....lol)
Another great video. Thanks for sharing Sir!
Thank you for watching Adam!
Nice video; pretty crappies ! I used to run the "Rocket City Marathon" at Huntsville, AL and your place is perhaps near Claysville. It is all small and winding highways with rural settings. My company also made shoes for the University of Alabama and I visited Tuscaloosa quite a bit and stayed on a hotel near campus on Paul Bryant Dr. Good ole days! Nice fishing ! Like your presentation; reminds me of Sanford and Son!
Thank you David Lee i love that show!! Got the whole show on Dvd Lol!
some of your comic gestures bear resemblance. Try to say"Elizabeth, I am coming!" and point the fishing pole skyward ! Haha !
Hate to break everyone’s heart here but Weiss lake does not contain any crappie never has and I’ve fished it since the 1980s guess I need to pray for a severe windstorm like bubba gump did for shrimp I have more faith in that. And you know as I type I’m watching a severe t storm roll in now fixin to get real windy
HI Richard ! Really enjoy you'r videos....Can ya tell usfolks out here,,, How many species of crappie are there in the southeast and how to tell them apart !?? THANKS FOR THE HELP !!
Great video, also I really like your boat. Is that a 1648 or 1660?
Hey, are you using any form of clear leader from your main line to your jig? What size #lb line are you using if you don’t me asked?
No leader if you are using the 4 lb lo viz or similar.
Great info keep fishing..
Cause it's good fer you!
Thank you Kenneth! Yes you right cause it's good fer you!
qd video gene you got to luv it when you can keep them coming
Thank you Audra!

Down in south louisiana we call them sac-a-lait, always wondered about the Mohawk black ones. Didn't know the real name for them. Awesome video thanks. Will definitely try that around oilfield well heads in the atchafayla basin and surrounding areas.
Thank you Keith! Sac-a-lait i love that name for them, I've called them that before too! Let me know how you do on your next trip and thank you for watching my friend!
ole elmo must be an auburn fan
David you absolutly right!
let me try to be normal this time.... laughed my rear end off. good stuff richard.
Mr. Gene nice video! I too have a passion for Crappie AKA Sac-a-lait LOL. I was catching some slabs the other day in 89 degree water 7' down. That's unusual for mid summer I normally don't see fish that size till fall/winter. I just started videoing my Crappie trips and want to do some on my technique like yours but it's so different across the country. 4 hours north my buddy uses a completely different technique and baits. About half the fish I catch down south have that black line. Once again nice video and good luck. You just picked up a subscriber.
Thank you Cajunfish Riplips!
another great crappie video keep up the good work Richard tell Elmo to get fishing.
Will do Dan!
They go that deep in summer when water is warm? No wonder I never catch anything near the bank 😅. I'm telling ya after my grandpa died I can't catch fish for nothing . He was a magnet . That man could spit tobacco in the water and catch a fish with it. Me...not a chance lol
PS...I see your in Alabama. I'm in Kentucky but grandpa used to tear them up at wheeler lake in Alabama. His favorite lake. He was a master jug fisherman too and I wish I had learned all of that stuff .
Love some crappie fishing, my son and I have caught plenty this spring! Great video!
he'll no use that boat,, catch and eat.. great vid.. dinner your house I'll be there in 5
overcast tis the best time to rip some lips!
Agreed N1k 5m1th!
That looked like it was a struggle to contain Richard Gene. Next time don't fight it!! You could very easily do yourself an injury!!
Great video. I always enjoy your videos, Thanks for sharing
Thank you Jerry! I enjoy yours as well!
Buddy I'd love to get together and do some fishing with you. I live in rainbow city but Ive got some property on wiess near Pruitts. I'm just now getting into crappie fishing vertical jigging. I trophy catfish for blues and flatheads and travel for tournaments for them just about everywhere.
Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I especially enjoy your explanations on how you rig your baits and tie your knots. Sub’d for sure. 👍🏻
Thank you for this video. I love the great state of Alabama waters. I live in Georgia and travel to Alabama to fish. I am still learning how to fish (arent we all lol). You are a very funny man that cares for the fishery and keeping it stable. I would be honored to have you in my boat any time sir. Tight lines sir. God bless
Thanks for doing a review on the fish finder
Richard,
I enjoy your videos.
You are using a size 6 sickle hook in most of your crappie fishing videos, correct? When you use a different size hook than a size 6, what size do you switch to and why? Thanks!
Richard you said you love trying different lakes, Douglas lake in East Tn. has huge large mouth and huge crappie. If you ever come up we have bass pro shop and a lot of attractions so bring your wife and grandkids. I'd love to get in a boat with you and learn your technic. So plan a vacation and bring that new boat
Any saugeye, walley, gar videos would be pretty cool.
Thank you Allen! I plan on doing sauger videos later on this year. As far as walleye we really don't have any here in the ten. river. Every once in a while one is caught but its rare. Thank you for watching!
I’ve noticed in all of Weiss lake when it’s super hot, you can always drop all the way to the bottom and reel up about 2 feet and catch em. I always start 2 feet from the bottom and work my way up in the water column. They prefer 55-58 degree water
You know you're a good crappie fisherman when you can find them in the summer months! Have you ever fished any of the lower lakes on the Coosa, such as Mitchell or Lay Lake?
I never have but i would love to go down their and fish that area. hopefuly in the future i will! Thank you for watching Jimmy!
I like the wacky endings better :) Overall though great videos; they're super informational and very entertaining.
Thank you Cristian!
12.5 inchs....my gawd lied like hell
This video was last year but I just saw Richard and his wife yesterday fishing under them same bridge and same columns again I hollered at him I said hey Richard Gene I was wanting to go talk to him but I felt like I was interrupting this video my wife said I should have went on over there and got pictures with him
how would you guys locate crappie without a fish finder..any one got good tips or tricks about weiss lake without a fishfinder..it would be greatly appreciated..i know richard gene is too busy to answer most questions
Great video, just great information. Thank you.
Thank you Frank!
I finish this exact same spot just one column over those solid columns and I didn't catch nothing but a Coosa River bass like he did I saw it Richard Jean fishing them other columns yesterday I guess I should have nosy my butt over there and finish them too and tried what he was trying Hey should have been nosy and went over there and done it
