      I love your comment and completely agree! The only thing I wonder is....does his boy hate fishing after years of his old man pulling every fish out of the river while he's only getting the occasional fish?! LOL If that is the case, his son will appreciate it as time goes on.

    As always, great video Mr. Richard. I had to cancel having my son, 14 years old, for the summer due to the pandemic and everything else going on for his safety (most important thing as a Dad, obviously). And seeing you with your son, doing what I hoped to do with mine this summer, well, I teared up a bit. It was really cool to see you guys fishing and just hanging out. These are the times that memories are better than all else. I've been here since 93k subscribers and am hooked! Keep it up guys! Love the content!

  • @bubbyfresh1278

    Love your channel! Your genuine, sincere and funny as all get out. To me, you represent ALL the everyday "average Joes" that love fishing and can't afford big $$ set ups with LIVEscope or a 60k boat. Every other guy put'n a fishing channel together have set ups/equipment 95% of their viewers could never afford. You make the show special and different from the rest of the herd. Wooo!! Woooooo!!! Wooooooooooooo!!!! Again, love the show and God Bless.

    • @robertjanko6709
      @robertjanko6709 2 года назад +1

      I really cant stand the channels with guys only fishing with rod and reel for 1K $ and a boat for at least 30K. A normal guy really has to work for his stuff, if you have a family it will even cost you more work that you have to put in.

    Everything about your videos is a positive message and that is not an easy thing to find these days. Not saying everyone is negative, but it leaks into channels little by little, usually due to the sway of a sponsor or two and it drains the authenticity out of it for me. Beautiful scenery, top notch instruction and genuine human emotion and humor... What more could we ask the Gene family for? All the best to you and your family and may God continue to Bless us with your content!

    @joshs3905 11 месяцев назад

    Great video richard, I too have been using the whopper plopper and even long before there were any videos out. The slow steady reel is a great method, I can also highly recommend a different method and that is lifting the rod up to get that flutter then reel in the excess slack. I have lost a fish once or twice due to not being able to hookset in time, but find the consistency of hitting is far greater.
