    Richard , you are the best fishing CZcams channel out there. Genuine , funny , serious , smart , and most importantly your not promoting a ton of brands and trying to sell us a bunch of stuff in your videos about why we should use this and that. You stick to what you know and what works , and respect you for that!

    Caught my 1st ever smallie when I decided to see if anything was in my minnow hole...I'm hooked! Wasn't big but he was viscious! Caught him on my ultralight panfish setup too!

    Smallmouth bass are fun to catch. Hook up on a 4 or 5 lb fish and you have a fight on your hands. Lots of fun. Great video Richard Gene

    Love them smallies mean gene. In my opinion they outfight the spots but to the spots defense, most of them I’ve caught has been in cold water. Below Wilson Dam in October with all that current you better have a good drag cause them smallies will break your line and your heart.

  • @punchfukker3383
    @punchfukker3383 Před 6 lety

    Smallies are just the best, especially the river kind, so much fun! There's a Susquehanna strain up here I catch once in awhile that has minty colored cheeks!

  • @gillgetter3004
    @gillgetter3004 Před 6 lety

    I catch smallmouth occasionally while panfishing( only thing I fish for) but the bass guys catch them on a jig and lizard or Carolina rigged lizard. Never saw a lizard here in Michigan. I think they must look like a crawfish or salamander. Thumbs up on vid keep it up Richard love the variety. Maybe some day I’ll target one of the species you cover!!!!

    Richard Gene!!!! I cannot believe you stole my idea of using a Cardinal 4!! LOL I'm just kidding of course...I'm actually going to be using it for Crappie fishing but man that reel sounds amazing when a fish is pulling on it!!!... Great video sir and if you have the time wanted to see if you could watch my Cardinal 4 restoration video but I know you're a busy man so you might not even read this LOL great job again on the video Sir!!!😀😀😀🎣🎣🎣👍👍

  • @Dmonieluv

  • @scottwilson707

  • @SouthWestIron
    @SouthWestIron Před 6 lety

    Small jaws pound for pound are the strongest. Guess its from living in the current. Great looking jig!

  • @cameronmello3548
    @cameronmello3548 Před 5 lety

    I've never caught a spot bein I live here in upstate NY on lake Champlain , but smallies are hands down my favorite.

  • @scotttaylor475
    @scotttaylor475 Před 6 lety

    I see you using an old cardinal I have couple in an old tackle box. Think I need to pulled them out and see if I can at least one working reel. thinking I need a spool. got to go with the smallmouth for the fight. enjoy your videos.

  • @adammanzo2270

  • @niczook3391
    @niczook3391 Před 4 lety +1

    Smallmouth lb.. for lb.. are literally the best fighting fish there is except shad of course who will fight to death I live on the Columbia river mcnary/umatilla there are so many smallies my largest is 5lb 4oz.. and they are 2to3 lb everyday so much fun even the little ones fight good

  • @ppplll1122
    @ppplll1122 Před 6 lety +1

    Pound for pound, Smallmouth put up the best fight. That's my opinion, but I live in Minnesota and haven't yet caught any Spotted Bass. I gotta travel!

    • @ppplll1122
      @ppplll1122 Před 6 lety

      Northern Pike, though, fight well.

  • @timothyschroeder5750
    @timothyschroeder5750 Před 5 lety

    You asked and I’ll answer...... up here in Michigan and our neighboring states I’ve heard it said pound for pound a smally is the hardest fighting fish..... but we don’t have a lot of spots to play with.

  • @03bonneville
    @03bonneville Před 6 lety

    Smallmouth no doubt!

  • @reedculver3157
    @reedculver3157 Před 6 lety

    If you ever get the chance to you need to fish the paint rock river in paint rock valley it’s full of big smallmouth and spots and largemouth, the further north you go the easier it is to wade, henshaws cove is my favorite place to start fishing, also we’re you in the Tennessee or Alabama side of the river in this video?

  • @reynaldolopez3823
    @reynaldolopez3823 Před 6 lety +1

    I find that River Smallmouth are very feisty. Maybe more so than a Largemouth Bass.

  • @punchfukker3383
    @punchfukker3383 Před 6 lety

    Hey Gene, I forgot to ask, what trailer brand/model is that you're using on the jigs? It's hard to find good trailers for hair jigs that aren't just trout magnets or tiny grubs. Although a bright pink trout magnet on a jet black 1/16th hair jig is smallie candy, I need variety in my fishin'life! And, have you ever seen anybody sell 1-2" twin tail grubs?? That got me thinking about it.

    The big game fishing and fishing fun that lasts and never ends,here’s how to go fishing 4ever and always have fun. This is the fish most missed but is the critical one not to miss because if you miss it, it won’t bite again. I will go fishing for the Lord Jesus Christ and going to Heaven is all that matters and how many fish you caught with powerbait called the Bible. America is Mystery Babylon and it all happens in 60minutes anyone that accepts Jesus will do in Heaven a whole lot more fun than fish but there’s lots of fish there. I think the funnest fishing trip I could ever see or imagine is Jesus Christ. He makes us Fishers of men or souls for the kingdom. I felt I should ask Jesus to Go fishing with me. I caught 100crappie on my trip because 100 is promise and God can use lucid fishing trips too
