How To Catch Live Bait On A Rod and Reel - Golden Shiners

Mr Richard I've been fishing for 30 years and I've never fished for bass with live bait and I don't have any experience catching big crappie either. I'm new to your channel and all I do is watch your videos and I have learned so much and I'm forever grateful. Thank you for all you do!

Words can’t describe how much you’ve taught me about fishing and how much you’ve helped me through some of the hardest times of my life. I’ll forever be grateful for that!

Only Richard Gene could make catching live bait look this sporty. I'm glad I found your channel, Richard. It is second to none!!

Richard--Thanks for all you are doing to make fishing exciting & enjoyable, hope to see you on the lake sometime...retiring Jan. 1, 2018!!!!! will now have time to fish again.

I've never tried that! I catch shiners and chubs in the creeks but it was during the summer and I was a kid. I learn something new from you every day. Awesome!

They was a pay lake that I used to fish, that had them golden shiners in it, and some of them were huge too, I’m talking 10-12 inches long. We used Popeyes tipped with a wax worm to catch them and we’d catch them green sunfish too but that lake had some big ole Flatheads in it too and they loved those things! I remember a buddy of mine caught a golden shiner about 14” inches long and caught a 54 lb Flathead on it and the dang shiner was still alive after he landed that fish, so he rehooked it and threw it back out there and then hooked into a big ole bluecat, I think it was 34 or 36 lbs, something like that, needless to say that shiner wasn’t alive after that, them blues and channels will crush a live bait before they try to swallow it! Anyways I just wanted to tell you that, and you’re right my friend, they are excellent bait if you can find them!!! We also caught a bunch of them shiners from there and took them to another lake, where my buddy caught a 76 lb bluecat on one, of course I always thought that boy could throw in a mud puddle and catch a darn fish! Know what I mean, Vern?? lol! Or Elmer I should say!! Anyways, tight lines and good fishing to you bud!!

love watching your videos. Cant wait to see the next one. I'm learning a lot. keep them coming.

My friend , thanks for the info. You can tell a lot about a person by their openness, you seem to care about helping other people catch fish. Thanks for being real.

Hey Richard, have you ever thought about taking that cooler up front with you to the front of the boat? My knees got sore just watching you go back and forth.
