The BIGGEST Bass I Have Ever Caught!

That’s a 14lb plus smallmouth? Amazing

Hims not a baby hims a bait lol

I was one year old when you caught that behemoth…😅 And a 10” red shad culprit is my favorite worm to throw. Imagine that…😀

I will absolutely be trying this for some big bass! You are a wealth of knowledge Mr. Richard, I appreciate all you do for the sport of fishing!

can't believe he doesn't have more subscribes, my favorite

I have a 6 and 1/4 quarter pound bass that was caught in 1973 in Johnson Creek in Cheatham CO. TN that looks identical to your mount

I'm from Louisiana my fishing spot is the calcasieu river and one of those babies is what I call a normal size here sadly we don't get many big bass a giant one on the calcasieu is a 6 pounder and that's very rare usually around a pound half 10-14" long. Absolutely love your videos and you have a lot to teach so blessed there's a YouTuber like you out there that's willing to share your great tips and secrets.

Caught his biggest bass on the day i was born. It was a good year.

Rich: back in '74 when I was a young buck I was fishing at the Joe Bartlett camp in a french wood canoe with Mr. Pacific fighin' corporal Barny B. He was a rough son of a gun who carried his nightmares as day-mares when the sudden weather change or a line of gross bad luck shifted his memory through a sieve while we were catchin' pickerel on the right entry pond into Baxter State Park. Reminds me of the way you had those long swells…well, a storm came up on us over the shoulder of Mt Katadin, and we were in it coming faster than a kingfisher at a swoop at us, so we flung-sped that canoe toward a'bitty island. B's pumping the stern paddle and I's in the front man-crazy when I hear him chittering half in curse, half in deafening screams to match the lightning and thunder coursing right for us. When we bumped ashore at full speed on rocks on that little nuthin island he leaped out and musta felt he was landed in Luzon, yelling about the Japs being around us and squirming, ducking, worming under a pissy-thin tree trunk on its side, staring open-mouth and spitting at me like I was one of those Jap ghosts. Blood on his lip from biting them. Though nothing touched down on us but the white caps and his seared voice scared to death risen all over that crummy fingernail island over-swelling, unloading a cannister of fear-baggage from inside him for the 5 longest earth minutes it took for that storm to drift off, un-touching us, I beg your pardon, not me at least in a physical way. He scared bejezzeus out of any arachnid living on that Maine atoll, middle of the pond, thankfully 2 decades before cabins would one day dot the shoreline. I grabbed and held a big rock just in case during all that bad time, his yellin, halfcocked and aimed toward his direction. But I didn't need it afterall and he and I was soaked from a sudden downpour, no tellin now over 40 years if that would have been mixed in his sweat on, or, on me, mixed with teenage fear from a Manilla army USA veteran's storm-driven implosion.

Every time I hear him say “Get in here boyyy!” I just can’t help but laugh😂 then he’ll hit you with a good ol’ “Gal Lee!”

Always love your video’s. Long time subscriber. Keep up the great work.

That's wild because I caught a 11lb on lake Harris. Lake county Florida in 1990. The Harris chain is great fishing

You remind me the people I spent my childhood with, taught me everything I know, the last few of a dying breed, I love all the cuttin up with Elmo, let's catch us a nothern

Sharper then a glass axe, Funnier then hell and crazy as a loon!!!
BIG Thank you Richard!! "R.G.F.M."

How many tournaments have you won?

Richard Gene once noodled Moby Dick. He let him go because his boat wasn't big enough for Moby Dick.

Richard Gene I must say you’ve gotta be one of the greatest fishermen I’ve seen I think you’ll be damn famous very soon!
