Im was workin at bass pro earlier and i got a text message from my 9 yr old son saying " DAD HERES THE FISHING MACHINES NEWEST VIDEO!" He caught covid at school so hes been home watching nothing but richard gene! Richard, thanks for keeping all of us entertained through these tough times, especially my son. God bless you!
Interesting fact: Bluegill (and related species) will change their coloration when stressed! Those vertical lines on their body (like at 3:29) is actually a warning display, meant to deter predators! They are among the fish with the most specialized type of scales, known as ctenoid scales. While on the topic, gars (and others, of course) have ganoid scales, which are basically bone! Gotta love em!
I’m at home with Covid. I’ve been self isolating for almost a week I am still not feeling well but this new video is just what I needed thank you Richard 🙏
Again with me, I don't have the luxury of owning a boat right now, but bluegill and redear fishing is some of my favorite during the winter. Can't get enough!
Im at home stranded no vehicle and my fishing buddy is making excuses Lol. Im enjoying watch you patiently search for them fish ,keep it up Richard and God bless you n yours
The fishing machine is the best all around fisherman I have ever seen. Richard does it all and shares his knowledge with everyone. He is one cool dude.
Richard you are crazy and know how to live life. Keep catching and we will keep watching. You remind me of a cousin of mine he always where the fish were biting
Richard, as always I love watching you fish and talk . You are in my opinion, the best fisherman on the net or TV , I love the fact that you don’t curse and that you Love the Lord . May God continue to Bless you , Brother ! I would love to fish with you one time before this life is over .
Richard Gene not only the fishing machine but the teaching machine , a lot on youtube take you along fishing but never explain what they are doing or what they are doing. Richard explain reel , rod , line , hook or lure . i'm 65 yoa been fishing since i was 6 but life and fishing is a learning experience every single day.
Richard, thank you for the good video. We can walk on the water here so it's more difficult to get baits deep, but your videos - even in cold Alabama weather - give us northerners hope we'll catch fish when the water softens.
Same area Richard when you made video when you were saying something about a sasquash or skunk ape or something. Reason I remember was first video I became aware of your great channel that teaches more than you know as you speak kindly and highly of the Lord each and every time. You are doing great work sir thank you!!!
Richard you are an amazing fishermen . I live on lake Moultrie in SC. I fish almost every day and thought I knew more than anyone about fishing but you got me beat. Your techniques goes to show what I have said for years. You don't need a fast fancy boat, sonar, or gear to put fish in the boat. I will say one thing. Them shellcrackers are small compared to the ones I catch here in lake Moultrie. It is easy to see how you have so many people watching your you tube videos. Keep up the good work.

Your videos are very good, congratulations for the beautiful work! God bless you always and good fishing!👍🙌
Hey Richard, would you ever do a catch and cook video, where you catch your favorite eating fish and then cook them up for us using your favorite recipes?
I’m glad to see you fishing in the winter. I wish I could fish right now but most of our lakes in Ohio are frozen right now. Thanks for sharing your fishing techniques. Your videos are inspiring.
To cold where i live to fish , some of the lakes have ICE ON THEM NOT THICK ICE BUT THIN ICE LOVE YOUR SHOW ROBBINSVILLE N.C. HAVE A GREAT YEAR FISHING.GOD BLESS U AND FAMILY.
Man I love your channel you're awesome bro you get out there and these harsh conditions and still catch fish me I put my rod and reels up for 2 months then I get back at it but that's what makes you special love the channel keep it up we love you Mama Sue
I mainly bass fish so your bass videos I really enjoy but I think your bream videos are my favorite, I do like to bream fish a lot and their my favorite eaten fish. I’ve tried your technique and it worked! Thanks Richard, GO VOLS!
As always your knowledge and techniques are second to none! I’m sure I’m not alone in saying how much I would love to spend time on the water catching Crappie with you. I have learned so much from watching your videos, please keep them coming. I wish that some day I could meet you in person and shake your hand. I pray that God continues to bless you and your family, you sir are awesome!
Richard I have gotten back into fishing after several years of being out of the sport . I love to crappie fish and bass and I am catching fish using your tips
Glad to see someone appreciates the type of fishing I grew up with and uses alot of the same stuff my dad and his friends did brings back alot of good old memories thanks Richard Gene keep them good videos coming bother!
My wife and I really love bream fishing!! We use this technique, but tip the jig with a red worm. No better fish to eat than bream in winter in Alabama!
Love your show Richard I love bluegill next to Bluegill crappie is my favorite fish to eat I love your shows about bluegill and crappie fishing have to admit in a little upset when I see you throw those delicious looking bluegill back but I love it keep up the good work
Gotta go through youtube on my phone to like all these videos because i watch them all on my tv! Learning while fighting cabin fever in north missouri😁
Thank you for the great videos. We need more bluegill and shell cracker vids on RUclips. I fish deep clear mountain lakes here in northeast TN looking to do more pan fishing this year. I agree with momma Sue i like to eat them gills and crackers.
You know Gene.... That's my middle name too by the way lol. the only bummer about this video is after almost 12 minutes I wish it would have been another 15. You got me hooked On your videos. no pun intended lol. I'm on full notifications. Love your videos man. Please keep them coming. I know you will.. You're the man Gene!!!
I'm a devout Bluegill and Redear fisher myself but have not done much in winter except Ice Fishing in north regions of the country. But Alabama I haven't attempted. After watching you however I'm ready to try. I mainly Fly Fish in Spring but am also experienced at Jig fishing. I've tossed a Jig to many a Redear or Bluegill on Beds in Spring as well. I like the Squirrel tail Jigs with a bit of worm on it. Caught many a one that way. But as I said Winter fishing Alabama for them isn't my strong suit. I'm going to change that now that I've seen you.
Thanks for the tips! Love your channel ! I've come to find the fishing in Mississippi aint at all like the fishing in Alabama. You've been a great help!
I'm glad your catching some down south, it's been slow up here in south west missouri just got back from trying a new spot with no luck. Tight lines Richard!
Thanks for the tips.ive got a lake nearby on Vancouver Island BC with large Red Ear Sunfish. Having just got over a cancer and can't wait to get fishin. Your tips is going to help a lot. I fish for Rainbow's mostly but going back to my roots as I figured that out. Thought I was dying so when I got up at 3:30am. and jumped into the loaded up truck. After 200 days straight I was catching up to 10lbs. at my local lake.Also won the big trout derby 385 entries. Sure needed the $1000 prize. Sure do enjoy your show.
Great video. It’s a mild winter up here in New England but still haven’t been able to catch anything since November fishing from the bank. Going to try and slow it wayyyy down.
Once agian Mr. Gene , you have give em the steel. Bluegill have always saved a no bite trip . Keep slangin, And keep hanging. Your the best Gene. Bless you and mama Sue. I faint wait til the crappie start lookin for bedding areas. I tie my own squirrel tail jigs and they can be counted on for a limit of slabs. Waiting on your next video. 👍🎣🐟
However many Likes you get.. and however many Subscribers you have.. R.G., you Sir Fishing Machine, deserve them all.. and more! So you know, I try to introduce your channel to anybody at least once a week.
Richard don’t get me wrong I love your crappie videos… I love your shell cracker and blue gill videos so much more I learn so much about them, but we don’t have BIG blue gill or shell cracker this far south bc I have never found any nor do I know anyone around here in east tx that has ever caught any big enough to eat like that, I’m truly jealous lol
Great minds think alike, caught about 20 nice shellcrackers, warmouth, bream, cappie today in Sav Ga. same technique. Just recently retired, now to do what I've been wanting to for so many yrs.
Richard, do ever eat any of the fish you catch. I absolutely love bluegill, shell cracker, and crappie. It pains me when I see you throwing those beautiful slabs back but I'm still glad to see you enjoying what you love.
It amazes about your timing from when you get the bite to when you set the hook. I see it time and time again on you videos. So much patience on your part. When I attemp this I am not successful because the fish arent there. Will you communicate a little about this and maybe help us. I really appreciate your videos.
Love your videos, some of the best fishing content on the tube. Love your enthusiasm. Leaned alot about winter time fishin. Here in PA this time of year there's only ice fishin. I haven't got into that yet.
Richard I live in Cullman Alabama have you ever fish in Smith Lake our strip are eating all our crappy up I think but would like to know your opinion about Smith Lake
Keep up the awesome videos always love watching your videos. Just went out and bought a new ultra lite waiting for the ponds I fish to unfreeze. Gonna try the slip bobber jig I saw you use.
Why do you prefer shell cracker over bluegill? And I didn't know that about the loop knot so thank you for that. I've been using it ever since you showed me how. And on 2 lb test line too. But I will modify it per your instruction 😉
Richard, how much does the color of the jig matter when fishing this way, and will this still work without the jig, just using the nightcrawler? I've never used artificial baits. I've been using only live bait my whole life. I've gotten a lot of great information about using artificials from you, but I don't have much experience.
Color doesn't matter...and yes..just the night crawler will work...just my opinion..I've watched him do this many times..I like a tungsten ice fishing jig with the crawler..less hangups🤷
Im was workin at bass pro earlier and i got a text message from my 9 yr old son saying " DAD HERES THE FISHING MACHINES NEWEST VIDEO!" He caught covid at school so hes been home watching nothing but richard gene! Richard, thanks for keeping all of us entertained through these tough times, especially my son. God bless you!
Good parenting right there
Interesting fact: Bluegill (and related species) will change their coloration when stressed! Those vertical lines on their body (like at 3:29) is actually a warning display, meant to deter predators! They are among the fish with the most specialized type of scales, known as ctenoid scales. While on the topic, gars (and others, of course) have ganoid scales, which are basically bone!
Gotta love em!
Learned something new.. thank you!
I’m at home with Covid. I’ve been self isolating for almost a week I am still not feeling well but this new video is just what I needed thank you Richard 🙏
Me to tomorrow be a week ive been dealing with it went back to work Monday still don't feel right nasty stuff I know
Get well soon.
Larry voth it's definitely nasty be safe
Hang in there you will get through it.
Head up, positive thoughts, and God's love. Praying for good health, Larry. 🙏
Again with me, I don't have the luxury of owning a boat right now, but bluegill and redear fishing is some of my favorite during the winter. Can't get enough!
Really, I've never had luck with Bluegill in the Wintertime but catch a lot of Crappie and White Bass.
Im at home stranded no vehicle and my fishing buddy is making excuses Lol. Im enjoying watch you patiently search for them fish ,keep it up Richard and God bless you n yours
This is the BEST channel on RUclips hands down , I love seeing a guy that doesn’t have a 70K boat being this good at what he does , it’s refreshing
The fishing machine is the best all around fisherman I have ever seen. Richard does it all and shares his knowledge with everyone. He is one cool dude.
Richard you are crazy and know how to live life. Keep catching and we will keep watching. You remind me of a cousin of mine he always where the fish were biting
Come fishing here in northern Minnesota this time of year , the water gets so cold it’s hard !! Keep up the great work!!
Haha I was going to say I live in Illinois right by the southern Wisconsin border and everything is frozen here.
Michigan here but the ice fishing is fantastic! Perch, bluegill, walleye.
Richard, as always I love watching you fish and talk . You are in my opinion, the best fisherman on the net or TV , I love the fact that you don’t curse and that you Love the Lord . May God continue to Bless you , Brother ! I would love to fish with you one time before this life is over .
When this guy gets excited it's like being "saved". I love it
Richard, please start posting your content on other platforms too! Many are ditching this one and still want to see your content! Please consider

I would love to see Bro Richard get on the late winter early spring white bass, stripers, or sand bass. I've heard them called all different names.
Thanks Richard for another great lesson you are teaching men to fish God bless you, mama Sue and the rest of your family.
Fishing is one of my favorite things to do in the world something my mom and I done all the time

i love your videos richard you are one of the best fisherman i know
Hey man I like the way you fish for the blue gill and others now I know you have to fish on the bottom, thank you.
It amazes about your timing from when you get the bite to when you set the hook. I see it time and time again on you videos. So much patience on your part. When I attemp this I am not successful because the fish arent there. Will you communicate a little about this and maybe help us. I really appreciate your videos.
I wonder if 32nd ounce jigheads would work if you put a nightcrawler on the top jig then you could put a Crappie Jig on the Bottom.
God bless you Richard and remember go fishing when you can because it's goodferya 👍👍🙏
Love your videos, some of the best fishing content on the tube. Love your enthusiasm. Leaned alot about winter time fishin. Here in PA this time of year there's only ice fishin. I haven't got into that yet.

Richard you are my hero..no joke ....woooo..🦅👍🇺🇸💯👊
Why do you prefer shell cracker over bluegill? And I didn't know that about the loop knot so thank you for that. I've been using it ever since you showed me how. And on 2 lb test line too. But I will modify it per your instruction 😉
Fight harder taste better
@@Johnnyreengo thx you
Thanks for all you do.
Hunting and fishing is a sport well second to none.

I've been using only live bait my whole life. I've gotten a lot of great information about using artificials from you, but I don't have much experience.
Color doesn't matter...and yes..just the night crawler will work...just my opinion..I've watched him do this many times..I like a tungsten ice fishing jig with the crawler..less hangups🤷
I used catching big trout on cast master jig reeling
