Richard you have brought back the joyful feelings I had when I was a kid and started fishing. Watching you fish is good medicine for me. You are the best.
I'm sure I'm not the only one of your viewers that grew up city as hell. I didn't grow up doing any of this stuff so every one of your videos has been crazy educational. Thanks so much for your time and effort!!
I'm glad to see you keeping some of the fish you're catchin'. My wife and I just groan when you throw back some of the beautiful "keepers" that you get. Keep it up Richard, we love what you do!
I can hardly wait for springtime as it is...I come from an avid fisherman line, and we "" DO go fishin' when we can, and catfish and crappy are my two main fish that I have fun to catch. My health wont let me go fishing in the winter, Thanks again to you and Elmo for the choice entertainment !!
Great video, and excellent commentary, very down to earth and personable - love it. I'm really not understanding why someone would give this a thumbs down....people!
Mr. Gene is at it again The crappie are really biting good here on the Coosa River I hope you can make a video here soon I know you would catch a stack of them
We use to catch rock bass in the Little River up by Walland and Townsend, Tennessee. We'd catch those, rainbows, bluegill, and the occasional smallmouth. You're right about them being good eating. We'd cook em on the fire outside the cabin. Good times, I tell you. Good times.
Your videos have really got me into crappie fishing. I usually go for bass, pike, or walleye. But I'm really getting into panfish now. Thanks for all the tips!
what a skilled angler you are and brave too using 1 lb line...Great video as usuall ....cant wait to see the next one...I once had a pro guide on West Point offer to teach me how to use a cast net....man he had my form looking good and I was rocking back and forth in just the right rythm ...and when he said throw it....the net left my hand and flattened out just perfect and made a perfect landing right on top of my buddy sitting in the drivers seat behind the steering wheel...there was no wayhe could have escaped that net wrapped around his head and shouloders....the guide was great...he said....ok Bill you got the form and release down perfect now try casting it on the water instead of the inside of the boat! I did eventually get a good release that landed outside the boat but the shad had moved on already.....my buddy still flinches when I toss the cast net......have a great day sir...it is a beauty up here in NE Tennessee.
Brother, That was some of the best commentary of fishing I've heard in a while. I usually skip to the next video but your accent and humor made me watch the whole video. I"m about to watch another one! haha
I've been trying to get more into Crappie fishing and this is my first summer crappie fishing in 98 degree heat in North Louisiana. After watching you video last night I went and fished bridge pillars, didn't catch any thing but a Goo. Any tips for hot days of fishing?
My family fishes the Spring River in AR, there are tons of hefty rock bass there. Sometimes it's all you can catch. For the first decade we were there, we thought they were trash fish. Now, they are my mom's favorite tasting fish.
Your right Richard the rock bass is a berry good eating fish I remember as a child my dad would go fishing for them and he said there nickname was red eyes I always knew them as redeyes until I got older. My dad in Kentucky would go up a small stream and find a muddy bank and take his hands and turn the mud over and find mud eels and take them and go down to the river and find and old sycamore tree with big roots running down in the water and take the eel and hook it about twothirds the way back so it would wiggle and he would run it down in those roots and pull out some big rock bass just a found memory of when I was young. Thanks for the memory Richard 👍on the video bring me more please
Most excellent video & Like the Way ur boat tricked out! SAdly 4 me since left Tenn, been boatless almost 15 yrs occasionally rent a yak or rowboat 2 fish outa. TY 4 sharing ur trips
I’m new to your channel. The Tennessee river looks pretty broad, maybe it’s just the camera. Really enjoy the videos I’ve watched so far, and thank you for taking to time to share with everybody. I am almost 40 and just started fishing a little over two years ago. So I should’ve known this stuff along time ago but I guess better late than never. Thank you sir have a good day
Great job Richard. Going to Weiss tomorrow after church staying a few days. Hope to see you on the water. Go fish'n when ya can, Cause its good fur ya!
I had one of those nets you are using, we called it the Ron Popeil noodle net because the front will fold up on you with a big bass. Nice video enjoyed it.
man that looked like so much fun, i have got to get me a boat, i love to vertical jig like this for stripe on the dam wall.. i know id love to catch crappie this same way! love the videos richard as soon as i see the notification i have to stop and watch them!
Awesome fishing videos bud, why would anyone put thumbs down on a video where your catching good fish and havin fun and learning about fishin , they must be jealous or stupid! 👍
Richard Gene is truly the fishing machine. I grew up fishing Guntersville lake and miss it. I now mainly fish lake Allatoona and the Etowah river in Georgia. Nowhere near as good fishing as Guntersville. Keep them rods bent RGTFM!!!
Hey RICHARD , super good video as always . It's still raining here in Mobile , but next week looks like things are going to clear up for a few days . Super hot but I'am ready to catch some crappie . Looking forward to your next video . Life is good!!!
i had to come back and watch this one again....you have a great way with giving instructions and information....I honestly think you would be very good as a host for a tv fishing show. I like that you always state the hook size, line and wieght size....you make learning fun...I do have one complaint and hope it doesnt offend you....but you need to put out 5 or 6 videos a week...at least.....you are the only channel I have a notification alarm set up.....thanks for all your great tips and fun videos...Bill Jones, chuckey, Tn.
One of my favorite comments! One day i will be uploading much more! I still work full time so its hard to do more than 1 or 2 a week but hopefully one day!
I wish I could be you for a couple of weeks. Just the fishing part. I like my life just fine but the everyday adventures you experience are something I seriously DIG.
people in missippi love them music makin drum..callem caspagulas...they eat the heck out of em. they dont scale them..they fillet them and put scale side down on a grill ...yummmy
freeze you a 2 litre bottle of water..and drop it in there with your minnows..keeps them alive longer..old fisherman taught me this years ago..also works well in your live well or fish holding cooler
Richard, I go to mountain lake R V park a lot and have a canoe to fish out of. have a lot of jigs and and all sorts of rod and reels to fish with, where would suggest for me to go for crappies say during July.
i like that you use light line instead of just horseing them in lol i run 6 lb test on my ultra light but thats cause i catch bass alot lol. i once caught a 2 lb channel cat on my ultra light, fought like a truck. anyways this is a awesome video!
Man that was another great video Mr.Gene loved it. My wife and I was trying to find that short creek bridge this weekend so we could fish for crappie from the bank cause we don't have a boat yet.Could you tell us what road that's on? Thanks again for all your great tips.
Thank you Helen! I'm not sure of the name of the road but it's the same road town creeks bridge is on, also the same road that goes to guntersvillle state park.
I'm not a bass guy. I don't fish for them, I don't wish to catch them. I don't eat them. They are like a carp to me. I'd love to see you try to catch some walleye fish!!
Hey bud, 1st off I enjoy your videos. I have a question. You was in the Tennessee River where the crappie has to be at least 10in but later in the video, you said you were at Gunter where the crappie had to be at least 9in. Are they in the same water system to where one column or side of the bridge is either or?
I caught that myself after i uploaded. I made a mistake, it's 9in on g'ville and tennessee river. It's 10in on coosa river and weiss. Thank you for watching StraightMalicious!
Hey Richard! I've been enjoying a lot of your videos. I'm about to fish guntersville lake for some catfish from the shore. I'm not sure where to fish from do you have any ideas?
Richard you have brought back the joyful feelings I had when I was a kid and started fishing. Watching you fish is good medicine for me. You are the best.
"Them's fer eatin, not lookin at" love it
I'm sure I'm not the only one of your viewers that grew up city as hell. I didn't grow up doing any of this stuff so every one of your videos has been crazy educational. Thanks so much for your time and effort!!
Just Love that Drag Sound!!!
I'm glad to see you keeping some of the fish you're catchin'. My wife and I just groan when you throw back some of the beautiful "keepers" that you get. Keep it up Richard, we love what you do!
Thank you Rob! will do brother!
That's why I love them 1inch plastic shad I catch everything on them❣🦅🎣✌🏻
I can hardly wait for springtime as it is...I come from an avid fisherman line, and we "" DO go fishin' when we can, and catfish and crappy are my two main fish that I have fun to catch. My health wont let me go fishing in the winter, Thanks again to you and Elmo for the choice entertainment !!
Crispy fried crappie tail is the best part.

Bass are my favorite catch and release fish

I watched a video today from years ago when had the green carpet boat. That boat 🚤 was pretty small. Also dangerous not much room.
Me Gene do you anchor around those columns or just use your trolling motor to keep in place?
Your legendary young man..... You have any lures under your belt yet???? Let me know!!!
Great video !! Good eatin that night😃
Gene I need one of those acc 5 or 6 ft crappie rods. Acc site does not show them. Need help please. Love your videos all of um.

Momma happy again
Watching from Decatur. Share where some of those crappie holes are
Hey Richard! I've been enjoying a lot of your videos. I'm about to fish guntersville lake for some catfish from the shore. I'm not sure where to fish from do you have any ideas?
