SIMPLE Way To Catch LOADS Of Crappie At Night!!! - YouTube
Printable View
Good video. Watched that the other day. Simple and effective.
The fishing machine is always good for a laugh or two as well.
Richard pretty much sticks with the same methods.
In this case the light is the only real difference from his other bridge fishing videos.
There would for sure be other and better ways to mount the light, but with him being a carpenter its easy to understand why he chose that way.
Wish I could catch the fish he does with those same methods. Lol

Wife and I enjoy watching Richard Gene. We go fishing and don't catch a lot then we come home and watch Richard ketch em, it's fun.
Been a long time since I have spent the evening under a bridge with the lights catching crappie. When I was on Lake Guntersville, it would look like a small city under those bridges with boats and lights. That video brought back some good memories. I will have to go a few nights this summer
Man he kills me how long he let’s the crappie monkey around on the top water before he gets it in the boat. He does have me ready for some summer time night fishing. Haven’t done it in years.
We still chuckle when we think of what Jimmy Houston told him when they fished together...” you teaching that fish to swim?”Quote:

I'm a subscriber to his vids, just the other day I decided to look up his YouTube page value. It is $203K/Yr, that is the current value. He gets more right than just his "Hook Set". It's a lot of work to produce the amount of content he produces, the man is a Hustler. No moss growing on his tin boat!
Got to hand it to him for doing what he loves
Hey, good for him!Quote:

I am not saying the number is wrong but I will say that it seems way too high. I know some people with youtube channels and their revenue rate is far less than that per 1000 subscribers. It depends on your audience, their demographics and the stuff they will buy because it's all about ad dollars. If he's making that kind of dough, that's awesome but I'd be surprised. Hope it's correct!Quote:

My channel is no more that a speck of dust on YouTube...but I am a student of YouTube. I have a pretty big CPM but I do not have the views. On the other hand folks can have a huge number of views and not have a good CPM. There is no doubt he is making a very good chunk of coin on his channel...but as has been mentioned the figure you put out is not correct. What you can garner from those sites that tell you what someone makes on YouTube is subscriber and view analytics. The algorithms YouTube uses to determine CPM and RPM are very complex and they do not share those with anyone. If his RPM is say, 6 dollars...then he made 9,600 dollars the last 30 days....which is great pay in anyone's book. His RPM could be higher...but that is very good RPM, and to achieve the yearly dollar figure you stated his RPM would have to be around 10 dollars....highly unlikely. Richard Gene is an influencer no doubt. He showed up on Jimmy Houston's channel....that wasn't by accident by the way. The month before RG did the videos with Jimmy Houston his views had been 355,000....the month after RG was on his channel JH views went up to nearly 3 million for the month and his subscriber base went up by another 17 thousands. When RG has appeared on a few other channels...which is not many....those channels gained also. YouTube is a fascinating place....I have personally witnessed folks go from a small following to making a lot of money and quitting their jobs going full time YouTube. RG is not at the 200 thousand dollar a year mark yet...but in all likelihood he will get there within a couple of years. His rise on YouTube was actually pretty fast compared to a lot.
Regards
Awesome.....I agree and it's a big no no to give that info out.....Quote:

You talking about Elmo?....lolQuote:

He works hard for every dollar he gets out of it. But I get the sense that he enjoys every minute of it and in not in it for the pay.
I agree. And like him or not he has helped lots of fisherman get better and catch more fish. I know that personally. I’ve watched him for a while and just recently discovered SK. I’ve watched hours of them both and learn something new every time I watch. So I don’t care what any of those guys make because they help me and it doesn’t cost me a dime.Quote:

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet. Sure he’s making some money but not that.Quote:

Shooting the video is one thing; then you have to edit and prepare it for youtube. So, he works for it.
There are some bass fishing channels where the owner(s) have significant videography but also bigtime post-production skills and those videos are quite the productions. All of that takes quite a bit of time. Not to mention just plain talent and skill. Everybody can't do that stuff.
Thanks Damion...... I'll tell you I get nowhere near what I have spent or spend out of this not to mention the time I spend making and editing...... And on top of that I don't do the cash handout or super chats that most channels do because I do this for the love of it and enjoy helping folks out.....Quote:

Just hearing that someone has gained some knowledge that is beneficial to them helps me keep that camera rolling....
But it's hard to even get a thumbs up from most....LOL
I do need to put some time into getting that done..... Coming soon....Quote:

I personally knew The Duck commander bunch as well as other Duck hunting video producers. Even used some advertising dollars I was manager of to promote them. The reason Duck commander was successful is they shot ducks more than talk. The sky rained ducks when they filmed. Richard catches fish, constantly, makes you want to watch.
He does so without $100k boat, with sponsor stickers on the side. He is relatable to the average every day fisherman. That aluminun boat with the carpet grass in it looks like any untold number of boats across the nation. Most everyone can outfit themselves with gear the same or very similar to what he uses.
relating to the masses is key in most cases to attracting a large following if that is in fact your agenda . :highfiveQuote:

Well I’ll tell you I appreciate you guys doing what you do. I’m sure many others do as well. I got a late start in life trying to catch crappie. I don’t have time to go 4-5 days a week to really figure them out so guys like yourself are a big help. I feel you and Richard have helped me grow into a much better fisherman than I would have been trying to figure it all out on my own. Along with great people I’ve met on this forum that we’re willing to help and answer any stupid sounding question I had. So thanks again.Quote:

Richard on the other hand has earned his by having fun and sharing information about how to do it.
And i suppose old habits like getting them into the boat quick are hard to forget for people like Jimmy.
I’m not so sure about that. My yacht channel has really taken off.Quote:

I think Richard Gene is great and love his TY channel! Highly underrated !
That’s one of my goals. I’ve been involved in several things where there was lots of jealousy. Mainly coon hunting and music. Since I’ve got into crappie fishing and found c.c I still can’t get over how helpful everyone has been. So my goal is to get good enough to give back and help someone just getting started. But I have a way to go.Quote:

When lived in Scottsboro I would run into a lot of the folks from here. Since moving to Tennessee I have not ran into anyone from here on the water yet. Some very good people on here for sure. You see Richard Gene with a crappie.com shirt on in a lot of his videos
I run into CDC folks in MO quite a bit or see they are close by and arrange a meet n fish. great information on here to help the novice, middling fisherdudes or experts. Very friendly site and great folks who share here.
RG is a fishing machine and instructive and entertaining. Biggest things I do are helping newbies out or those who have trouble getting on the water and making sure folks who want some get crappie to enjoy. It's a great site and sport and always good stories to share and enjoy.
