This is a life cleanse from all the garbage going on in the world! Thanks Richard!

Thanks so much for this video, Mr. Gene. This 73 year-old really enjoyed it, as Bluegill fishing is my favorite kind of fishing! Here's a short story for you on how my Mom turned me on to Bluegill/Bream fishing over 65 years ago. When I was 8 years old, my Mom introduced me to fishing. We went to the little pond across Austin Drive from where we lived in Gaffney, SC. We dug up some worms from under a big tree near the pond, and Mom cut down a couple of cane poles. She showed me how to attach the line and roll it around the cane pole; how to put an old cork on the line to use as a float, pinch a little BB sized sinker to the line, and tie on a little hook (the hook, line, and sinker were all bought at the local hardware store as this was before the days of the "big box stores"). Then she showed me how to attach the worm onto the hook, and how to softly and smoothly swing the line out to the water, so as not to scare the fish. Later, being the farm girl that she was, she showed me how to clean the catch. That day, she introduced me to a past time that I still enjoy today at the age of 73. She gave me a lifetime of precious memories, this is just one of them!

When the bluegills get on the beds, it is the most wonderful time of the year for us ultralight anglers!!! Anyone who says they don't like this kind of fishing has got something seriously wrong with them!!! God bless you and your family!!!

I. Really enjoy watching your videos,as they are only about catching fish and what to use and when to use it. The other people with fishing video as a whole are trying to sell you something . Keep up the good work. GOD BLESS You.

Grandpa used to always take me to guntersville. I miss him and love your videos. Thank you mr gene.

Great video! I have caught panfish since the early 60's, and the most productive and fun method I found is using a fly rod with a light tapered leader, and a latex floating spider with rubber band legs. Just lay it out there a few feet from shore and let it sit. You can see the fish swim up slow and suck it in!

Richard Gene the goat of the fishing sport! 💯💪

I remember those too!!

I'll be 35 this year and I've spent my whole life fishing. Growing up we'd pond hop all across Oklahoma. Back in the 90s and 2000s, most farmers didn't care if you jumped the fence and fished as long as you were respectful, and most of the ones that did care had posted signs. I wish I had ponds to take my boys to like the ones I fished as a kid. By the time I was 10 I had already caught several bass over 6lbs. We had one pond that we could consistently catch 1lb bluegill and redear perch. Another that was loaded with huge channel cat and right next to it was a pond that was spring fed that produced more slab crappie than you could catch. I miss those ponds so bad lol. I wish I lived near fisheries as good as the ones he fishes. I've spent so much time fishing, and my dad and grandpa were so freaking good at fishing, but I still learn new things all the time from watching Richard Gene he is the GOAT!!

Thank you so much for your channel. Your techniques are simple yet effective. I've learned a lot. God bless you and yours.

Amazing! I tried bank fishing too and caught some fish, but just nothing of any size... These were CHUNKS! Great job mr Machine!

live the enthusiasm in the vids richard. keep it up 🤙🏾

Great to see you catch AND release them ! So often people loose perspective on the breeding stock and the big ones have to be released for the future success !

Thanks, Richard. You are correct about Bluegill being a strong fighter. Putting the grandkids on some Bluegills is God's reward for having children. They don't even know why they catch em, they just want to catch some more. Plant the seed and let it grow. God bless y'all for all that you do for us. Be careful out there around the water.

Been loving Richard Gene for years now. I remember learning my bluegill techniques from about 5 years ago

🔥🔥 A new video from Richard Gene? WOOOOO!!!! 🔥

Richard, I have fished for crappie on a fly rod, used a regular old fly, and it was so much fun. I am sure a lot of people do this, but your the first I have seen on YT do this. LOVE IT! Instant sub.

Mr. Gene I absolutely love your videos and your attitude about life. You are an inspiration and one heck of a fine angler. Learn something everytime I click your video. God bless you and the machine family 🙏

Great video Richard, thanks for taking us along.

Thanks Richard we love you man!✌️💪👍

Learn something on every video! You are so experienced in this sport of fishing. I am so glad that you are using your experience to teach others what you know. Helping keep this sport alive!😊

"Hey, I'm gonna go golf-cartin' and look at my neighbors, woo." :D

Thank you Richard, super info and we love the video! I will give it a try! 😀 ❤👍😇

Another great teaching video! Thanks Richard!

I wish I could send you a picture of the massive Black Crappie I caught this morning in Harrisburg, Arkansas (06/14). I've been watching your videos and learning so much about how to catch Crappie. So I.followed your instructions and used a loop knot to attach my jig. Found out the correct depth and "BAM"! It was a beautiful thing!! Thank you! Know I thought of you when I reeled him in!!

Awesome video buddy and as always not only entertaining but educational too. I learn something every time I watch one

Great video Richard thanks again Richard GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY RICHARD 😊

I learned something else new today from Richard Gene. As always.

Gonna have to try those out! Awesome content. Quality video and person. Thanks for all you do.

Thankyou for showing people the importance of fishing and conservation

You the man Gene!!!

Thank you for the video, Richard. God Bless.

Love your content!!❤

Thanks, Richard Gene!!!!

Awesome video Sir like always.. Wooo Stay Safe and Keep’em coming..👍👍👍👍

I love your videos been watching since 2017. You have made me a better bass fisherman. I need more videos with artificial bait for bass.❤your tips work!!!

Heck yeah man! Love the videos

Gene you're the best, keep 'em comin'

Best fishing channel period-

Love watching you catch fish. God bless you my friend. 👍

Love your videos !

Truly enjoy your videos and your teaching skills Be Blessed my friend

Thank you for being you

If you don’t have a dedicated rod, just use a swivel to your main line with 4lb leader to a fly. Attach a clear bubble bobber or foam bobber to act as casting weight. Otherwise it’s too light to cast a fly on its own. I do that when I need Bluegill for bait. They hammer flies off a bobber.

Richard, you're the best.

Richard's handyman to have around!!!

I’ve fell in love with panfishing bluegill fight so hard I just put together a little video myself I’ll never be has good as the the goat tho

Great video keep them coming brother

Just love it when they hit it on the fall!

Thanks so much for your videos you’re the best

Love your video i always learn something

I caught a nice size fish yesterday and yelled out "WOOOO"!!!!! 😂

🤓☕️♥️🙏 I love your video. S you've told me a lot, keep on coming, please and God bless.

Hi Mr. Richard. Fishing from the bank is the access I have, and Bluegill and their cousins are what I target. Thank you for continuing to share your techniques and secrets. For whatever reason that Nikko Stonefly lure is not available in my area, but I will try to find something similar and try it. Thank you again for another great video. God bless you and your family.

MONSTER bluegill there Richard!!! Those guys fight like a freight train!!!! Wooooooo weeeeeeeeeee

Go Fishing Machine!! Enjoy every video SO much!! GOD Bless!!!

You’re basically fly fishing with a mono rig. It’d be fun to see you in a trout stream with this same setup.

Man that looks like a lot of fun 👍🐟

"I missed one." Too many shows just edit the missed ones out. Thank you Richard for letting us know we aren't the only ones that miss 'em sometimes. You the man! Whoo! Keep on! Blessings to you and Momma Sue! Thanks for bringing us along.

Glad you started putting them in the cooler, love eating bluegill!

we love you richard gene the fishing machine

Great video !!!!!!

This gentleman is spot on...for me, bluegill IS the most delicious eating fish that swims...tight lines Mr.Gene, tight lines.

Awesome video Richard! Me and my brother in law went and caught a limit a few days ago…

Awesome video Richard 🎣🎣🎣🎣 wooooooooooo

Yes sir nice 🎣 video 👀🐟♥️🙏

My young self love watching you fish helps me outfish alot of people

THANKS!

5:23 Had to smack that big ol thang 😂😂😂

Great vid, fished today for first time in a couple years and it was almost a spiritual experience…. Reminded me of the quote “some go to church and think about fishing, others go fishing and think about God”

Man, you're Meat and potatas, just a down home kinda guy and I love to watch you. Keep it up.

I was not aware that they spawned that often, thanks for the info and God bless you and MaMa Sue.

Thanks for that hint I remember last year in July about 10 days after full moon I found a good bed of them!

Hi Richard. I've been following you since forever. Thanks for all of the great fishing videos you have posted. Just a while back you had a fishing trip targeting a specific type of fish but you caught a number of big GAR just by accident. I would love to see you do a video dedicated to specifically catching Huge GAR please. Also, I would like to start making some fishing videos of my own. What make of GoPro do you use? The sound and picture quality is always excellent. Thank you so much and keep going fishing when you can!!!

Good fish'n. Whoo!

My brother, I love fishing for bluegill and you couldn’t have explained it better. I’m going to get myself. One of them 9 foot poles super sensitive. I’m one fancy fly ride reels. My friend, I was going to get me some of them bait. Go on the Internet. It’s about time here in Illinois. And the way you finished it God bless God bless you, brother. And all fisherman around the world amen.🙏 and take them grandkids, fishing, girls and boys. You’d be the best. Papa in the world out there and get it done.🙏🙏🤠🤩

My favorite lure for bluegills is a piece of nightcrawler on a hook or Impulses rigged Bloodworm

reminds me of using a cane pole..i might just try that sometime this year

You're the best

When I go fishin, I don't target just any kinda fish. And I don't use just any kinda bait either, but watching you, I may need to rethink. Believe it or not, I like using biscuit dough from a can or worms, but panfish magnets got me to thinkin. I'm not one to keeping that fish, just catch and release. I liked the part bout bending the hook up a tad, never thought bout that either. Scent is another thing I never thought bout using.. Thanks for teaching this ol dogs new tricks

HOW CAN YOU SEE SO GOOOOOD????

i love you richard

Enjoy your channel!! How about cleaning and preparing your catch? I would love to see some of your processes!

Greetings from Micronesia ❤️👍🏼🤙🏽😎

I love how he talks to the fish when they're misbehaving, "Now you stop that!"

I really like the Sam's rods have one probably 20 years now with a couple more.

Thanks and God bless

Great bluegills video content. Question: What is the make/model/color/size of the jigs that you use with the Nikko stone fly bait?

Roll Tide Roll Richard!

Great video! I hope you caught a good mess for Momma Sue's supper! God bless ALL of us! WWG1WGA

Hey Richard! Can you post a video showing how you fillet fish??

thanks for this! Nikko seems to be out of stock of these. hopefully they are still making them. I will see if I can find another company who makes them

What's rod and reel you using ? Never mind i went back and watched the beginning again. Love watching and learning from your videos.

Gonna catch me a mess of bream this year!!!!

time for fly fishing time

Richard, look out for that cat behind you. he wants your fish. Great video.

Hey Richard. Have the cicadas emerged in your area. And are you using them to your advantage and getting some gills for the freezer?

Richard can you do a video of catching bass on the beds? Woooooooo
