Hey Richard! Thanks for letting us in on some of your fishing techniques. Very successful techniques from the best in the business. Dale Earnhardt Sr. was a great race car driver yet a very humble man. He once said he was the “Jack-of-all-trades” but a master of none.... In my opinion, he was the best to ever do it....and I believe you are as well. #TightLines #BentRods #FullCoolers 🎣😎👍🏽
Going back to Minnesota for the first time in 35 years, my family went every year for 2 weeks for 20years , most of them are gone now, gonna catch a lot of crappie and bass and Northern.
You remind me so much of my father in law, let me break that down. I grew up in NY catching smallmouth, warmouth (we called em rock bass or rockies) walleye and stuff like that. I joined the Army and moved to TN just up the rd from you. He'd call me up at work and say what time you get off? I'd tell him and he'd say I'll be at the boat ramp and hang up. I knew where he'd be, and we would crappie fish till dark. He passed awayand I stopped fishing for awhile, it brought back too many memories and I just didnt wanna face em. But low and behold I got excited about fishing again and I'm glad. Becasue I absolutely love it. You inspire me to get back out there and just fish because I love it. So props to ya. Anyhow love the videos and I'll keep my eye out for upcoming ones, thank you again for helping me get back into something that I already loved, it's just time for the next chapter. I'm close to the TN river if your up this way it'd would be an honor to fish with you. Thanks again and may God Bless you in your travels and your catches.
Richard, my wife of 51 years says I yell in my sleep, "Go fishing when you can cause it's good fer ye." Must work cause we just traded our boat for a new boat more equipped for crappie fishing cause "it's good fer ye", Enjoy your channel very much!!
I’ve been crappie fishing for 45 years. I’m still learning. The man that thinks he knows it all is misinformed. I appreciate your instructional videos. Just when I think I’ve figured them out, I learn something new. Thanks Mean Gene for being a part of that.
Mr. Gene, I have learned so much from watching you over the years. You are truly an expert at what you do. Keep up the great work and keep them awesome videos coming. I would love you fish with you some day my friend. God bless!
Great tips Richard. I think I'll catch a few more because of your advice. I also loved seeing how much you appreciated the wood signs that were made for you. I make those also. It is a lot of work but WELL worth it when someone expresses how much they love the sign. Take care my friend. Thanks!!
THANKS SO MUCH, GENE !!! I really enjoyed this video and I take in high regard, your opinion, on all matters fishing !!! The PROOF IS IN THE PUDDIN FOLKS !! A REAL DOWN TO EARTH FISHING MACHINE !!
I know this is an older video, but I found it interesting watching this video today, yesterday I worked at a guys house and got some crappie rods from him, his name is Mr Jessie here in Texas, and he was good friends with Mr Perry. Mr Perry talked to him the evening before he passed from covid. Mr Jessie gave me a bunch of plastics Mr Perry poured as well as some hand ties Mr Jessie made. I love crappie fishing, and have met some super amazing crappie fisherman. Mr Jessie showed me some of his favorite spots on the lake we fish, and what time of year to go there. Love your videos as well Mr Gene, God bless and keep up the amazing work you do.
MR Gene, I appreciate your vidyas especially your humble composure. Most of all, and I mean most of all it is obvious that you are a True American - you have working hands and I enjoy seeing all the things you have built around you - very neat!
Richard Gene you crack me up. No doubt in my mind that you could have your own successful Tv show on one of the outdoor channels. Great ending. Great video.
Thanks Mr. Gene for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. Your humble approach and obvious passion for crappie fishing, puts your videos on the top of my must watch list. Thanks again.
The Bobby garland baby shad in live minnow color is my secret for crappie in clear water northern states. That color also works in dirty water that’s why I love it.
I tried your selection on Weiss over the weekend and you are spot on with the chartreuse color for stained water thanks for all the great episodes you do
I extremely appreciate the time with you learning about you're hardware choices.. it's much needed von my part for rebooting my passion fir fishing!! Thank you Brother, Father bless you n keep you!!
Mr. Gene you are a boat load of information. you entertain my two boys and i with your videos and help us catch more fish when we get on the water . THANK YOU
Thank you mr gene for breaking out and showing and teaching me some of your fine tactics on jigs Thank you always enjoy your shows always waiting on the next one Happy fishing my friend tuscaloosa Alabama

Richard, I like how you made it very clear that this is all opinion but let’s face it.... your opinion is spot on buddy! Learned an awful lot from your videos and I am definitely a better fisherman because of them. Thanks a lot for all your awesome videos!
Great information from no doubt, an expert at crappie fishing. You are humble and appreciate your viewers comments. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us.
Great timing with this video Richard, just around the corner for some spring crappie action! I have a t-shirt that says "secret to fishing is to fish where the fish are" I couldn't agree more with that statement! Tight lines are keep on fishing! Thanks.
I really enjoyed that instrumental video Gene, I like the way that u explained colors styles choices and the hook choices good work Gene, 👍 James Harkness
here in TN bobby garland baits in the "Cajun Cricket" color with a 1/16 oz black jighead with chartrus eye work best for me in clear or muddy conditions...but I love blue ice in clear conditions also!
Hey richard, I'm not sure when the last time you've done an updated favorite jig video is but maybe time for a new one ? I'm sure the old ones work great but just in case there's something new and exciting. I love watching you, quite the kick in the pants
Sir your so awesome I wish I had just a little bit of the baits and rods and reels you have you are so great sir and I want to say I appreciate everything u have been doing for me you have help me out so much even that almost all my and mine kids and my dad's fishing stuff got stolen but you keep me going sir and you show me not to give up so thanks and I appreciate you and all you do so thanks
Great video..here's a tip about them gulp minnows try rigging them sideways..we find here in PA the fish seem to love them that way not sure if it's a different action or what but they love it..
I ordered some of the Brushpile Jigs brushhammers. I'm looking forward to trying them out. Received them today! The Bobby Garland albino on a pink head worked for a limit on Lake Hartwell today.
Great video Richard. I know you don't want to step on anyones toes by saying in your opinion. But I want you to know that I value your opinion far above anyone elses when it comes to putting fish in the boat. Thanks for the lessons. Have a good day my friend !!
Very Nice arsenal, a couple suggestions I would have to compete you crappie/panfish jig collection are the “bass pro shops snagless super squirts” 3.40$ for 15 and “uncle bucks panfish creatures -crawfish” 2$ for 4 you’ll love em! Maybe even do a review on them, oh! also crappie bites! Love me some crappie bites!
Hey Gene thank you I've learned a lot from your videos. I'm hoping to get a new boat soon and put what I've learned from your videos to practice. Hey tell Elmo hello from that Georga boy.

Great tips Richard. I think I'll catch a few more because of your advice. I also loved seeing how much you appreciated the wood signs that were made for you. I make those also. It is a lot of work but WELL worth it when someone expresses how much they love the sign. Take care my friend. Thanks!!
