It wouldn't be right if I didn't invite yall up north for sauger fishing. On the upper Mississippi you can ice fish in the morning. And take your boat out in the afternoon. Good fishing in that part of the country
Hay Richard, I was just wondering if you have done any videos on small crappie hard baits like small crank baits , traps, etc. I have caught some on them myself. I was just wondering what your thoughts are on their use. You are a pro on finding and catching crappie. Always enjoy your attitude and comic videos, and absolutely a grand personality . Thanks, one of your grateful followers, Don B.
I would love to fish for sauger one day, and I’d really love to get some in a frying pan. I live in Northeast Ohio, and here we have saugeye. Saugeyes are hybrids that come from crossing a female walleye with a male sauger. Walleye have no distinct spots on their spiny dorsal fins while saugers do, and saugeye have both bars and spots in the webbing of their spiny dorsal fin. The saugeye is excellent table fair and is my 2nd favorite fish to eat only behind freshwater perch. This is making me hangry Richard! Lol😂 God bless you and momma sue, and give the pups big kisses and hugs from all your Ohio fans!!
Hey Richard Gene!! Been watching your channel for a while. Thank you for all your tips and techniques. I've always wanted to sauger fish but really didn't know how to do it.Hopefully now I might have a chance to catch some after watching this video. Keep on sharing!! Tennessee T.
Have you ever thought about installing some foam pool noodles on the edge of your boat? Just get the size you want and cut them long ways, and you can glue them on, or just slip them on when you're bumping up against the wall, might help protect your boat.
I wish you made a fishing kit or a video with $100-$200 tackle box setup that you would start with today if you didn’t have anything. You have shown so many bait combos that I’m very confused on what to buy other than buying one of everything. Even the amount of different bobbers you use. I’d like to start over with one good kit with the best stuff.
ive always heard sauger and walleye are really good eating. them an a smallmouth are on my bucket list ive never caught any of those species. we dont have em in south ms.
i respect you richard for letting that momma sauger go so she can have her babies. love seeing people show respect to Gods creatures❤nice to see ,a rare sight. thank you and God bless
God bless you sir love all your videos the first two jigs you had in hand but the first one you tied on that looks like a little perch if you don't mind me asking where did you get that I need one of those. God bless everything you do.
"There it is... Gol-ley, this is a good fish here folks"... Every time, lol.. I LOVE your videos Mr Gene, and ive learned so much from u!! Ive never even heard of a sauger till i started watching your videos.. Thanks..!!
Find a bait shop in Sauk, Wisconsin and check to find out when the walleye and sauger bite starts. The same way you are catching them on the Tennessee River will get you bit on the Wisconsin River below the dam at Sauk. State record came out of this location and weighed 6.56 lbs. , seems like it was 26.5” long Might make a good video and give you a new pb sauger.❤
When you got a "woohoo" from the cheap seats I chuckled to myself and then I heard you chuckle and I got even more tickled! Blessings to you and Momma Sue! Thanks for bringing us along!
Great job, Richard. Thanks for taking us with you. Appreciate everything ya'll do showing us your tips and sharing your knowledge. God bless ya'll and stay safe on the water.
Woo another great video. I hadn’t never caught or seen a Sauger around here. we don’t have them in South Georgia. I know the video of Ma Sue frying some . They sure did look good.. Stay safe Sir and Keep’em coming WOOO
Thank you Richard. For a great video. When you clean the sauger don't forget to take the cheeks out. They are so good. Bob from Wisconsin GOD BLESS YOU.
Richard, please do me a favor and have some blood work done.I have noticed some swelling in your left hand when your right looked fine. We do not want fluid buildup causing any issues. A visit to the cardiologist for a checkup would not hurt . I love watching you fish and want to for many more years.
I never use live scope either. I cover lots of water and use simplicity and catch a ton of fish. I use a 6 or 12 inch leader with either 1/10 oz egg weight or split shot. I'll tie leader with size 1, 2 or 4 baitholder sometimes a 16 baitholder if I'm going for bait fish. Of course if there's corrent I'll use a split shot or egg weight. If there's minimal or no corrent I'll fish it weightless. Then I'll use 6 or 12 inch leader I'll put a slip bobber on then tie leader to main line. Most times I use 12 inch leader. Then I'll tie a dropshot. Next I use 1/8 1/16 or 1/32 crappie jigs with a white grub. I put procure trophy bass on the few lures or soft plastics I use. Then I'll use a ewg super line offset hook with 1/32 1/16 or 3/8oz bullet weight. Soft plastics I use 3 inch hellgramites, zero z too smoky blue fluke 5 inch finesse worms or white grub 2". Lures I use a jerkbait a kvd splash a Berkeley choppo or a wake bait either a rat or fish. This is all I use and catch tons of fish. On a slow day at least 6 to 8 fish 😊😊❤ oh a new lure I'll try I saw Richard use a 1/16 bitsy jig 😊
Looks like the weather is supposed to be much better this week, mid 60's, I guess I need to get the boat out of the Garage and head to the Dam. I fish that exact spot pretty often, have taken a couple of HUGE crappie there, and several small Sauger.
that jig you decided on i believe is called a firetiger color pattern. i discovered a rapala lipped crankbait in that pattern b4 that works great for crappie in the right conditions. tight lines....and God bless
Color is everything brother
Second to none!!!🎣🎣🎣
You the man nice fish 🎣
Nice Video Rick Gene

Looking good sauger Richard!
Play possum till the other boats lose interest...then back to catchin'. Love all your videos
Woooooooooooo weeeeeeeeeeee what a intro there Richard!!!!
Do you ever use live bluegill for bass? If so, how do you rig them? Thanks, and love the channel!
If I'm mistaking he's got a few videos of him using bluegill.
When you got a "woohoo" from the cheap seats I chuckled to myself and then I heard you chuckle and I got even more tickled! Blessings to you and Momma Sue! Thanks for bringing us along!
You are appreciated. I find your content soothing.

Richard, please do me a favor and have some blood work done.I have noticed some swelling in your left hand when your right looked fine. We do not want fluid buildup causing any issues.
A visit to the cardiologist for a checkup would not hurt .
I love watching you fish and want to for many more years.
Ur a bad bad man 27 degrees
Hey yo , where's my sowbelly rode when I want one ...! 😢
RGTFM is a National treasure.
What is the rules on fishing near dams could you help me out I was wanting to try tying off like you are but don't know the rules
I bet those are some good eating fish!
Would love to see how you fry fish sometime!!
How do you Handly sauger?
Do you catch any saugeye there
I love seeing a Tru sportsman fishing. NO CHEATSCOPE
Amen!! I hate the scopes. They are hurting others ability to catch fish. I don’t use one
I never use live scope either. I cover lots of water and use simplicity and catch a ton of fish. I use a 6 or 12 inch leader with either 1/10 oz egg weight or split shot.

On a slow day at least 6 to 8 fish 😊😊❤ oh a new lure I'll try I saw Richard use a 1/16 bitsy jig 😊
Now that's how you test the sharpness of your hook...by sticking it in your finger haha😊
What kind of lures are those?
💜🎣
My first smallmouth I had ever caught was sauger fishing at pickwick lake with hand tied bear hair jigs tipped with minnows.
Great video
Woo hoo, try hard fisherman get it's done in an insane fishing conditions. Good job Richard!!!! 👍
Pink & white have been a hot color here in the Ohio valley this year.
It's so annoying when you have the entire river or lake and then other boats have to be within 20ft from you...
You Bill Danced that second one!
How do you find Sauger?
Those were some good jacks Richard!! LIVE FOR THE THUMP MY FRIEND!!
Looks like the weather is supposed to be much better this week, mid 60's, I guess I need to get the boat out of the Garage and head to the Dam.
I fish that exact spot pretty often, have taken a couple of HUGE crappie there, and several small Sauger.
I always thought this spot would hold a wall hanging crappy.
that jig you decided on i believe is called a firetiger color pattern. i discovered a rapala lipped crankbait in that pattern b4 that works great for crappie in the right conditions. tight lines....and God bless
I bump the bottom
