    Richard Gene!!! I Love your videos! I lost my first born son a couple of years ago and we loved to fish together! I haven't had the desire to fish since. You and your video's alone have set me back on fire for fishing and through that my heart and spirit are healing! I know that may be a lot to have on you but "hey", please just keep doing what you do. And, "they ain't but one thing to do!!! Let's catch another one!!!!

I currently have about 40 bags of crappie in the deep freeze. I am heading out in a few hours to fish again. I do not need to keep them so they are going back. Let them live and spawn.

    Iv'e been to Gadsden AL. many times because my wife is from there. Her mother lived there until she passed away, and I think I have only been back once since then. I did take note of all the great looking fishing areas when we drove down there from Tennessee. The creeks we crossed always caught my attention, because I just love creek fishing. I might get the notion to drive down some day and explore some of the creeks in northern Alabama. Lord knows I have fished bunch of creeks and rivers in my neck of the woods.

They're 4 and 5 years old and we dug up worms until we had enough to go fishing. We live in the city but we are fortunate enough to have a great city park with lots of lagoons and we caught a real nice (big 'un) bluegill and a real chunky little largemouth. Love to watch your videos when we can't go fishing and want to thank you and wish you tight lines!

I've been watching you for years now. And I'm pretty much the same way. I also believe that fishing is the greatest sport/hobby a person could have. It's a thrill that's second to none. The whole experience of being on the water and hunting for and trying to find them and figure them out to catch and land them. Is so awesome! Keep up the great work you do for us all. And thanks for the tips on crappie fishing. I've only started fishing for crappie 5-years ago. When I moved to the country in Mississippi.🙂

    Im spoiled rotten. I grew up in Frankville, Alabama. Off the Tombigbee River. My Grandpa, and Dad used to take me to Millers Ferry, Claiborne Lock and Dam to catch skipjack. We would jug or fish off of custom made trot lines my Grandpa made. Now 20 years later I was given a Jon boat. I fabbed up an aluminum fishing rack for the back and have been putting around Montgomery, Wetumpka. Damn I've got a lot of learn. Caught my first cat yesterday at about 2:30pm on some cut drum. I am having trouble finding skip jack in my area, and shad. I tried using Bluegill, but only rclecently learned I could fillet them, and to not burry the hook so deep in the bait. Dang it is humbling
