Thank you for the privilege of watching! I'm so glad I found your channel, not only because you're an excellent fisherman but also the fact your outlook is so optimistic. If my day isn't going quite right I can watch Gene and it puts a smile on my face. Thanks again and I think the "fish whisperer " is an appropriate title for you lol.
I love that you get the take and the clicker sounding off all on camera, and I really appreciate that cause it's almost like we are there with you. I get so excited hearing the clicker going off just like I do with a bobber down. Thanks for sharing Richard gene, your most definitely a fishing machine.
A lot of people tell me I'm the best fisherman they've ever seen, and as bad as my pride doesn't want me to say this,vyou are the best fisherman I've ever seen. Mainly because of the variety of species and techniques you excel in. 👍
Thank you Richard for making a point to say that fish of that size need to be supported from the back when being handled! So many people want that hold from the jaw photo but don’t think of what it’s doing to that fish. Thank you for spreading good information and good content !
Favorite channel on RUclips right now! Just got into cat fishing and I have learned a lot! Usually just go crappie and bass fishing so this is a nice change of pace
Richard, I literally stumbled across your channel just yesterday. I'm pretty sure I've watched at least 65-70 videos lol. You're awesome. I go fishing, cause it's good fur me!!!
Love your videos Richard. You are obviously a great fisherman, but I think you're an even better human being. In my mind, you are what fishing is all about. The love of the sport, and the passing on of your love and knowledge of fishing to others, exceptional man! God bless and keep those videos coming.
I rolled the living hell out of my ankle. I’ve been down for four days now. These videos get me excited to get back on the lake, when I heal. Thanks Richard. I appreciate the content.
Caught my biggest channel cat using bluegill strips per Richard, easily outfishes worms, doughbait, etc. Thanks for keeping things simple & yet effective
Nico Hamblin oh man, he’s freakin hilarious.. The first video I ever seen I thought he was some drunk acting like a fool in the parking lot by the river. Then he went and caught about 30 blue gill in just a few minutes. I was hooked on the channel ever since.
Man I’m telling you. The amount of quality information he gives you in such a short amount of time is amazing. I love catching catfish and bluegill. He’s the best for advice
How funny, I was watching some of your videos about cat fishing with bluegill earlier today. I've never been catfishing really but I have the tackle and equipment to do it. I just got in a little bit ago, had a 50+ pound flathead break me off. Came home, and saw you had posted another video doing the same thing. Thanks for putting out great content. I'd love to get a chance to catch some cats with you. Bass and crappie and sandbass are all I've ever really fished for until now.
I love RG! I hope to fish with him one day. I want to be live and in person for one of his "freakouts"! 🤣😂🤣😂 I may go ballistic right along with him! RG if you read this I want to fish with you! Please!
I've been a subscriber for a couple years now, & your catfishing videos are my favorite! I just ordered an Elmo's guilde service shirt, maybe he'll point me in the right direction!! Thanks Richard!!🎣
Richard you are the catfish master!!! I also catfish and have a handful of Virginia flat head citations and blue cat citations, my dad taught me at a young age, funny part is my dad does everything you do down to knots hooks and bait line size and all
Love watching you fish richard. I just started watching ya a a few months ago. It's a great channel I'd reccomend it to anyone, your very entertaining and very educational. I'm a live bait kinda fella love to see someone else use blue gill. Where I'm from live bait isn't used very much.
Now I want to see a "Fishing for Big Drum" video. Thanks for turning the Bite/Line indicator off! It always gets me when people leave the "clicker" on thinking that's the way the reel is supposed to sound, thanks. I've got an old Mitchel spinning reel that has one, we'd use it fishing the mud flats in an estuary after dark.
I thought I was gonna spit my drink out when he said Im gonna smell this little bity flower out of nowhere. Don't know where he comes up with this stuff
You have helped me to catch some of my biggest fish Mr. Richard gene. I appreciate your knowledge always. I just started filming my own adventures and it's been so fun, thank you for the inspiration!
Totally enjoy you fishing for catfish and crappie in freshwater, while heading to Florida and wearing out those reds, specks & sheephead. You and Mama Sue stay blessed.
Thanks for sharing another catfish outing, Richard. Those were some nice cats. I'da snuck home with one of the smaller fish. Made my mouth water a weee bit. God Bless.
Great fishing Richard! Your my most favorite fishing u tuber. Your entertaining and educational when I comes to different types of fishing you do. From the boat or from the bank. What's your biggest catfish and large mouth bass you ever caught? Thanks again my friend and hope to hear back from you on my questions.
Years ago chasing blues on the Missouri River by Omaha I caught several drum in that 15 lb range . I tell you when they turn sideways in 4 mph current and try to run to the middle they'll make a fella yell Woo. Stay well Sir.
Caught a few. I like using live or cut bait getting after them blues and flatheads. Still had that bait in they throat. Good stuff. Keep the film rolling 🎥!!!
I love this dude. Wish there was as good of fishin' here in WV as there is in TN! We have good flatheads on the Kanawha, but overall the catfishin' is way better there!
Yes Mr. Flathead is out to teach those fishermen a lesson for throwing their trash on the rivers and land. He’s swimming real deep on Amazon. I want to plant good seeds through a child’s eyes to keep ou r rivers and streams clean. Thank you! God bless! And thank the lord for fishing. 🙏🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣😇
Man Richard you were really tearing those catfish up! I'm going to try that technique of how you hook your bluegill on the bottom side next time I go catfishing with live bluegill. It looks like it works really good. Great videos always keep on doing your thing man!
I could have hooked you up with enough bait for 5yrs today if you were my neighbor here in Arkansas Richard. Our 6 acre pond turned over this morning and we had small bream/ crappie all over the pond at the top of the water gasping for air. But I managed to save around 100 catfish so we’re going to have one heck of a fish fry! Woo! Lol
Richard if it wasnt for you're videos I don't know how I would be inspired you're videos are the best I have ever seen you are the man and I am going to buy some shirts tommorow
Drum eat anything they can swallow. You catch them on worms, minnows, crawfish, shiners, diving plugs, plastic worms, etc. However, it may be the only species of fish I've never caught on a Rooster Tail.
I love your channel. I caught a bunch of 3-4" bluegills and most of them died over night. I had them in a aereator bucket too. How do you keep yours live?
I know you catch and release, but like many others, i always threw away drum growing up. I dont anymore :) Fillet the drum, cut off the red blood line and meat. Then use Tempura batter and deep fry. It taste just like Capt. Ds fish. it is very mild, very white flaky meat. Very good :)
First time watching your videos Richard lol i like the energy and the funny attitude of the second Richard lol i though that stick hit you in the head be fearful that keep making the cool fishing videos
I'm so glad I found this man's channel. It's a goldmine for a amateur like me looking for tips and advice.
it's been awhile for me but last I checked different states have different rules regarding using a gamefish as bait. might want to check yourself
Yeah same for me. I've learned alot about catfish and crappie fishing from this guy.
and he’s good company.
@@twonumber22 is sunfish gamefish anywhere
@@randywilson6869 Yes. Even bass are a species of "sunfish", aren't they?
Thank you for the privilege of watching! I'm so glad I found your channel, not only because you're an excellent fisherman but also the fact your outlook is so optimistic.

I’m a truck driver. I love how you’re always setting up in a spot where truckers working by. You’re the man!!!!!!
I'm a basic fisherman and you keep it simple and with the since of humor your a gold mine
Thanks for another day on the water , teaching and sharing your love of the sport second to none
A lot of people tell me I'm the best fisherman they've ever seen, and as bad as my pride doesn't want me to say this,vyou are the best fisherman I've ever seen. Mainly because of the variety of species and techniques you excel in. 👍
Got my Elmo’s Guide Service shirt today. Me and ole Elmo gon be the coolest cats at the pond.
Thank you Richard for making a point to say that fish of that size need to be supported from the back when being handled! So many people want that hold from the jaw photo but don’t think of what it’s doing to that fish. Thank you for spreading good information and good content !
Favorite channel on RUclips right now! Just got into cat fishing and I have learned a lot! Usually just go crappie and bass fishing so this is a nice change of pace
I ain’t even watch the whole thing yet but I love these catfishing videos
I would love to spend a day catfishing with the legendary fishing machine also known as Richard
Since he doesn’t eat then he would probably let you keep them, lol.
Richard's antics are the best. Always have me cracking up 😂.
Richard, I literally stumbled across your channel just yesterday. I'm pretty sure I've watched at least 65-70 videos lol. You're awesome. I go fishing, cause it's good fur me!!!

GUNZ UP MUSIC get well soon my friend
Great videos, me and my 2 year old watch you every day. He gets so excited watching you catch fish. He loves the crappie and big cat videos.
Caught my biggest channel cat using bluegill strips per Richard, easily outfishes worms, doughbait, etc. Thanks for keeping things simple & yet effective
“Let’s see what else we can get a holt to”! I Love it!
I think I see your comments on almost every video of Richards.
You gotta luv mean Gene the fishing machine....tons of know how and techniques...tons of humor and good fun....best freshwater show on..
Fish:fighting for its life, Richard: "quit, quit" fish: "alright I'm gonna quit" 🤣
It works so well for him I've started doing it myself. You'd be surprised how well it works on many different things. 😉👍
When he fought the air I hit the subscribe button!!!!This guy is the best 😂😂😂
Nico Hamblin oh man, he’s freakin hilarious.. The first video I ever seen I thought he was some drunk acting like a fool in the parking lot by the river. Then he went and caught about 30 blue gill in just a few minutes. I was hooked on the channel ever since.

I learn so much from watching your channel. It has made me a better fisherman and also to help my channel grow. Richard Gene for president
Hi Gene. I like that you practice catch and release and try to keep the fish healthy.
I've been a subscriber for a couple years now, & your catfishing videos are my favorite! I just ordered an Elmo's guilde service shirt, maybe he'll point me in the right direction!! Thanks Richard!!🎣
Beautiful day fishing! Thanks for the video Richard!

RGTFM just started the vid but I already hit the thumbs up because I know it’s gonna be good.
I’ve learned so much from the dozens of videos I’ve watched of RGTFM
Hey I love the sound of the clicker! Leave it on. Click, click, click, click. Whoo!
Years ago chasing blues on the Missouri River by Omaha I caught several drum in that 15 lb range . I tell you when they turn sideways in 4 mph current and try to run to the middle they'll make a fella yell Woo. Stay well Sir.
Was just looking at your video catching crappie and your new video popped up. Great day for me lol
a nice chair, a few cold ones, that looks like the most relaxing spot to fish
Caught a few. I like using live or cut bait getting after them blues and flatheads. Still had that bait in they throat. Good stuff. Keep the film rolling 🎥!!!

Awesome video. Love the cat fishing videos !
Ok, I just finished watching the video and feel a lot better now after getting skunked out there today. At least somebody is catching them.
It's always a pleasure watching both of u - fish happy
Love the random comedy breaks. Gonna try this next time. I've used little gills with a lg bobber and have gotten a few good northerns.
Umhuh...loading my trailer now... tommorow headed to cedar bluff...
all in all great session mr. RG! That flathead would have been my PB.
I could have hooked you up with enough bait for 5yrs today if you were my neighbor here in Arkansas Richard. Our 6 acre pond turned over this morning and we had small bream/ crappie all over the pond at the top of the water gasping for air. But I managed to save around 100 catfish so we’re going to have one heck of a fish fry! Woo! Lol
Your nuts man and I love it! Another great video
So glad to see u go for them flatheads again. Love the videos Richard. 🤪💪🏼
Lol! @10:20 "I'm talkin about, woooo, I'm talkin about, imma smell this little, bitty, flare!!" I about died 😂😂😂
I’m from skyline al... nice to see a fellow fisherman in the area
Richard if it wasnt for you're videos I don't know how I would be inspired you're videos are the best I have ever seen you are the man and I am going to buy some shirts tommorow
Love watching your videos man one of my favorite guys to watch on RUclips 💪💪
New viewer here. Felt like I was fishing with one of my uncles. Appreciate your work, Richard Gene!
We love you Richard gene! You are a classic.
Idk why but when he launched that wood into the lake I started dying 😂😂
He got his revenge.
Yeah OK, that stick just bit me!!!! Just my opinion. Great video thanks RG.
You are the man!! Love your videos!
I would've never thought a drum would eat a live bluegill!
I was thinking the same thing. They don't have a big mouth
Ive caught them up to 20 lbs on gold fish out of the Missouri River.
Drum eat anything they can swallow. You catch them on worms, minnows, crawfish, shiners, diving plugs, plastic worms, etc.
However, it may be the only species of fish I've never caught on a Rooster Tail.
I love the content Brother! Keep it up. I been watching all I can find!
Good morning Gene the man fishing machine. Boom fish on! You are the man! I look forward to your vids weekly. Keep up the great work. God bless more.
Another awesome video I even got my nephew watching your videos and he loves them
I just found your channel and I have already learned so much. Thanks for posting!
I love your channel. I caught a bunch of 3-4" bluegills and most of them died over night. I had them in a aereator bucket too. How do you keep yours live?

Get you some tee shirts that say woo! On them. I'm talking about woo!
I caught around a 4-5# bass using this technique! Thanks Richard!
Love that sweatshirt Mr Gene and ROLL TIDE ROLL!!
Love the videos sir. Watch you from Huntsville Alabama
Right on Richard thanks for the cats. Appreciate you
I had the same plan for the day, but couldn't even catch the bait. Glad you did better.
When you come asking me to go fishing with you it doesn't even matter what I'm doing, I just go. 👍🥇🙋♂️🎣🎣🎣🇺🇸
