THANK YOU FOR WATCHING! - Sport
Hey Richard. I had seen this years ago and decided to try it again. I went to a moist area and sawed off a sapling about 3 fingers thick. I started sawing the top of the stump and I could really feel the ground starting to shake under my feet. In just a few minutes I had more yellow jackets than I could ever use. Before I realized what they were, they had covered me up! I guess yellow jackets don't like fiddle tunes as much as worms do.
I hope to meet you one day. You are my favorite fisherman to watch. God Bless and watch what channel you tune your saw to!
Sounds like you picked the wrong tree
That's the funniest thing I've ever read on you tube lol! Can't stop laughing made my day!
I love how you teach something in all of your videos! I hope you have great success with your channel!
Thank you Tim! Comments like this keep me going
Watching this video for the first time 3 years later.... old Richard made it. He sure did
Richard I wouldn't care if you were fishing for mud cats on the backside of a rice levy with a cane pole you would still make the video worth watching and Elmer would still be jealous.
Thank you Preachers day off! This comment made me laugh alot!
That sounds like an amazing video anyway lol
Grunting worms here in south Georgia is quite common. I like to get under some pecan trees the day after the rain.
Thanks for the saw trick for big live bait... the more I watch the more I learn...
Thanks for this video :-) I live just right down the road from Guntersville in Cullman. My grandpaw taught me how to fiddle for worms back in the 70's. He did one extra thing to make the process it a little easier - he'd have me and my brother brush away all the dead leaves around the stump and get it down to bare ground - so you could see the worms easier.
I know this is an older video, but I loved watching it. I learn so much from you, and I thought I knew a good bit, but now I know I didn't. Speaking about things that remind you of fishing as a kid, one of my favorite things to do with my dad growing up was to go to a creek. We would cut down mimosa trees of various lengths with different length lines depending on the stick. We would put cut bait on most or clumps of worms on some and leave them out for about 30 minutes then run the poles. Great memories!
Once again you killed it. Great content Richard. Love it. Keep em coming
You fish in some beautiful, scenic locations! Thanks for all your tips! We surely appreciate your hard work and effort!
Excellent, Richard! So glad to see you keeping fishing simple, the way it used to be.
Yes sir thank you for watching Dave! I think the more simple the better!
Hey Richard, I also grew up fiddlin worms. My daddy taught us young, but he called it snoring worms. We’d use a 2x2 stake and
A brick or saw down a sapling and use the flat side of the saw and to rub the stump. I enjoy watching you fish and like the way you “learn folks” how to do things. And tell Elmo to stay outta my garden!!
Takes me back to the when we used to go down below Ft. Loudon Dam and Watts Bar Dam and catch them cats. Now I live up here in Washington state but I got to tell you. We got some big salmon up here.
Fishing's good for you.
Thank you so much.
I had to come back and edit this cause I forgot to mention we used to fiddle worms a little different way. We used to cut notches in a stout sapling stick and hammer it into the ground a couple of feet and use another stick to "strum" those notches. It did the same trick as the dull saw and we got big crawlers. I guess we never thought to just cut down a sapling and use the trunk. Seems to me that works better! Thanks again!
You make me want to move to North Alabama. Thanks for doing these videos - you never disappoint!
Dam I love how I can experience your fishing trips,, your love of the outdoors makes me feel at home and I`m welcomed along.. These are some beautiful fish your catching and your having fun doing it.. Thanks so much for videos....
Thank you so much Robert! Comments like these Motivate me to work even harder!
I love all species, but I have a special love for the cats!! Great tips and info, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
im 56 yr old.. been huntin n fishin all my life and i aint NEVER seen that done before.. never too old to learn somethin new
My grandparents took me" fiddling" worms back in the 70's in North Alabama. We cut a sapling and raked a flat rock over it. Thanks for the video
You sir are a pleasure to watch, I swear you should be on a fishing tv show.
Been usin your technique for no weight straight to a circle hook. Have never hooked up on more cats in my life. Good fishin! Yeeyee! It's 6am in Texas I'm about to head to my river to catch me some lunch and dinner! Tight lines brother!
Glad you here that my friend!! Good luck on your trip and i hope you catch a bigun!!
I was taught to get worms when I was a kid very similar. Find a stick 2 or 3 ft long, push it into the ground at an angle moving it around and rubbing with another stick or a rock. Always worked great for me. Always enjoy your videos and always learning something new from you and Elmo, thank you.
Glad to hear that mike! Thank you for watching!
I haven't seen someone catch worms like that in over 20 yrs..good to go. some great catfish. keep up the great work
Thank you Dave! and will do
That's an amazing technique. Country folks are the smartest, craftiest folks.
Love your videos more informative than all the tv shows put together
I really enjoy and appreciate all of your content, but I always love a good catfish video and how you explain yourself and how/why stuff works!! I love chasing them ole whisker fish and learning from fellow fisherman, keep up the good work and stay safe out there brother, God bless!
Love the catfish vids Richard gene please make more as and as always love the way u explain things
Just plain fun, love it.
Great channel been binge watching your vuds all week. Get em elmer!!!
Never seen that before. Interesting way for worms. Thank you.
Wonderful video!! Thank you -- brings back so many great memories!!
We take 2 pieces of rebar and stick one about an inch into the ground and rub the other one up and down on it and it makes the worms boil up out of the ground. Never saw anybody do it with a saw and a sapling, but it seems towork the same. Great videos Mr. Gene.
Dam! This is an AWESOME TIP BROTHA. Ill be doing this in a few days. Thank you for the info on how to get them worms, thats an awesome tip.
dude ur a good fisherman your tips made me catch a 78.6 pound Flathead
Thats awesome Laden I'm glad my videos can be of some help! Congradulations on your catch and thank you for watching!
Richard Gene The Fishing Machine hope u catch a good one
can u catch some catfish on creek chubs
that would be a record in my state! Congrats!
Absolutely love your content, you've got an old wise fisherman's way about ya, it's refreshing compared to some of the bigger channels ... Nothing wrong with what they do , they've just got a copycat new way about them .
Never heard of fiddle worms being from Kentucky and the dangest way of gathering them that I ever could imagine. Love your videos! Tell Elmo hello!
i like bank fishing to and i really like pond fishing.i like how you teach and explain how you do it GREAT JOG KEEP IT UP
I guess I need to go catfishing. Thanks for another awesome video. I learned something new again.
Yes Sir thank you for watching Frank!
Thanks for the pointer and God bless America .....
Another Great fishing video! Thanks for sharing your tips!
No problem Matt! thank you for watchin!
I know I say that I say this a lot.....but I love this channel you r an amazing person and fisherman
love your videos Gene. Keep them coming!
Thank you Steve! and will do!
We always had good luck with dogwood tree stumps on rocky ground. You can also rub the stump with a rough cinder block to get it to vibrate. My pawpaw showed me how to do this around the Guntersville state park campground.
Love your videos Richard. Very informational
I'm late as can be for comments but I'm glad I saw this fiddlin technic for worms I'm gonna go try it. Thanks for the info.
Really enjoy your videos. Did some fishing in Scottsboro Al and would purchase a sack full of fiddle worms from a lady on Sand Mountain. Fiddle worms are massive and boy do the catfish love em. Would rather eat a catfish than just about any other fish. Keep the videos coming!!!
Richard you are one old school dude!!!! Another great video!!! Thanks for teaching us how to get them worm. We need to hook up and go fishing Richard.
Thank you Xander Vo!
Ive used freelining for years, i love using bream heads for this kind of fishing.🇺🇸
New favorite channel
Very informative. This is a great channel i can already tell after watching your first video. Subbed :)
Thank you so much JoshGreenAdventures!
man Richard I've been looking for a place to fiddle worms my whole life, I can't find them anywhere on brindlee mountain , I believe they are the best catfish bait as well.. looks like u had a great time over here on the south side of the lake great video I appreciate you making them and sharing ur trips with us! I learn alot from them.
If their is any creeks around brindlee mountain, try to fiddle close to them. I have'nt tryed it at brindlee mountain so I can't be for sure though. Matt I appreciate you watching them. You have been watching my videos nearly sense I started! Thank you for your support!
Here it is 2020 and I'm watching re runs of Richard Gene The Fishing Machine WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
That Blue Cat look like a dolphin taking off!!LoL
I love catfishing. I prefer a 2 to 5 pound blue catfish for eating. Channel catfish just taste muddy to me. Great video. Thanks for the worm getting tips.
No probelm Ben B! I agree with you on that channel cat are fun to catch but not to eat! Thanks for watching!
Never knew about fiddle worms! Just moved to north Alabama, I’m gonna have to try that out
Pretty cool video...educational and always fun to watch someone enjoying what they are doing!! Thanks for sharing. I'll be on Weiss Lake a week from tomorrow...hope the Crappie are still biting. Water temp here on Lake Alatoona 70.8 yesterday. Caught a handful of bass during the heat of the day which I believed was a good day considering!!! Hope you have another crappie video up before next Friday so I can see where you are finding them!! Thanks for being GREAT!!
Thank you William! Yes sir I will have a Video on crappie up tomorrow or friday! Thank YOU for being Great William!

Best thing I learned all day...very cool ty ...
No problem J Son, thank you for watching!
If Elmer ever showed up on one of these outings, I'd be almost as surprised as Richard.

Thank you Justin! That means alot!
Idk Mr. Gene I’ve caught some cats with some old rusty hooks in them lol love the content!
Fine job youngman
I just love when you catch a smaller catfish and hold it up, it "talks" to you. I don't know why I always chuckle when a catfish does that.
RICHARD GENE THE FISH MAGNET MACHINE !!
I think you could catch fish in a mud puddle !
Thank you Fish ON!
He is a fish whisperer! Gotta be!
Another great vid hope elmer enjoyed the catfish
Thank you Bruce! He did! He ate it with some beans and a glass of buttermilk! Don't know why bout mad me sick!
I tell you what Richard..I tune in to your channel for crappie but I loves me some catfish..As a matter of fact my channel is all about catfish...You did a mighty fine job there with those kitty's...I had fun watchin' ya....
Thank you Mike! I've seen you comment on my videos I just didn't know you made videos. I subscribed to you and I'm looking foward to watching your videos!
Yes sir, I fish for trophy blue cats on the James and chickahominy rivers in southeastern Virginia..Thanks for the sub my friend..
More catfish videos please!! Awesome vid
Will do James! glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Thanks for your effort.
Thank you Twinstone!
Its always fun to fish for catfish along rip rap. Here if the water is a little stained they will come in very close. On those days it is fun to float a slip bobber over 4 or 5 feet of water. A catfish popping a float under is a rush. You will have to do a little fish fry video with Elmer sometime.
I agree snipehunter1. Elmer would love to do a fish fry, it's getting him to catch the fish that is the problem! lol thanks for watching!
Good work!
That's interesting. That's freaking interesting, man.
Love your channel
Thank you Big swimbait bass fisherman!!

I make ol worm grunts out of a thick oak wood branch bout arm length and size and make seven notches on it and drive it in the ground and rub a stick against it creating the vibration 'and I'll catch a couple of earth worms in the forest but on the cow pastures I'll catch a load of nightcrawlers on a misty or rainy night' unique video there ol gene' your a legend man 🎣🎣🎣

Back in florida as a kid I would just dig on the dirt that was moistured n wham. I catch my worms to fish 😁
This accent cant be real!! I love it
Yes, fish hooks do dissolve. This can take months, a few years, or up to 50, depending on what they’re made of. There are many factors that will dictate the length of time a fishing hook takes to degrade. Saltwater may degrade certain materials faster than freshwater or brackish water, which is half salt and half freshwater.
Wow I can't believe this lol lol you got a like from me
