    Well, I didn't want to say this but I gotta. Richard was fishing right behind my house in this video, and Elmo pulled up in my driveway and asked "Is that Richard back there fishing?" I told him was. He said "that's bad luck, I gotta head down to the breakfast sausage sale down the road" and he took off.

    Here in Harrisburg Pennsylvania on the Susquehanna... Those hellgrammites crawl all over the steps down by the river and some of them things are like 4 inches long Richard I'm not kidding you, and don't go picking one up with your fingers you need like hemostats or something😂😂😂, those things are no joke! Nasty nasty nasty!!! And great tips on rigging that up!

    I love catching small mouths. You're correct sir, they hit the line and fight like you stole something from them.
    Everyone that swims should be glad that bass don't grow to 50 lbs. or better.
    I love hunting and fishing, but again I'm going to say you're right again, there is no sport like fishing.
    God bless ya'll and stay safe out there on the water.

  • @bankman2
    @bankman2 Před 2 měsíci +1

    Best bait in the world for putting out set hooks in South Carolina rivers for catfish. We would turn over rocks or grab them in moss near an old damn in SC. We also caught "spring" lizards and placed in an old tube sock and off to the river to "set" hooks. Always put about 25 hooks out and came back to camp and warmed up a chicken stew and ate before going and checking hooks after supper. Brings back a lot of memories. Good times.

  • @HowardFryHsvAL
    @HowardFryHsvAL Před 2 měsíci

    My bother-in-law and I have fished 1-2 miles upriver from that spot and have caught scores of smallmouth. The largest was close to 5lbs. We caught several 3's. We mostly went in the summer. We didn't have hellgrammites back then; I wish we had.

I have been fishing the Z-Man TRD with a #1 Gamakatsu ewg hook and a vmc 1/32 nail weight for a long time, but have not been successful getting the nail weight into the Nikko Hellgrammite. I actually bought the Yum hellgrammites to try with a nail weight, but after seeing your video I will try to burn a hole into the Nikko! Appreciate you....FishOn...jimi

    I had about a dozen of hellgrammites left over about 10 year ago and I lived on the waters edge of Boone lake at the time so I made a 4 hook limb line and placed 3 or 4 on each hook with about a 200lb un waxed bank line and when I retrieved it the day i had catfish over 4ft long on it and it started off a with a death role and snapped that bank line. I hope someone landed that fish after that to get the wow factor of the size line hanging in it's jaw. Thank you Richard Gene for all your time.
