I've Never Done This During a Tournament - Saginaw Bay Recap

[@ryanboldt7751]

Sometimes you gotta realize Fishing is about beauty and peace, about connecting with creation in all its beauty! It’s about the sun and the wind and the sound of the waves! That’s what it’s really about!

[@mfrank3518]

That’s what we try to tell ourselves when the fish aren’t biting 😁

[@rogersmith8593]

I watch your videos for the reality of tournament fishing. You show strengths, weaknesses, struggles, wins and even failures. I wonder how many people watch these videos and never once begin to think of the work that goes into tournament fishing. I can only imagine (but will soon find out) how hard it can be. I am sure many people think fishing is fun (and it is) but sometimes it is work. Imagine driving across the state, arriving late, grabbing a couples hours sleep on a belly full of gas station food only to get up long before the sun comes up and hitting the water no matter the weather. Nothing like sitting in a cold plastic boat on a cold drizzly morning with a north wind to really understand how hard it can be. I for one, find inspiration through your videos. Your resolve and determination inspires me. Keep it real like you do.

Spoken like the true warrior that you are, one must be wise in picking which battles to go all out in and which ones to rest and be ready for the big battle ahead! You are truly an inspiration to all! You go girl! 🙏

[@CMH4U]

Christin i don't know where you've been all my life but im glad i stumbled up you ! My late Mom was an avid fisherwoman like you ! The only thing she loved more than fishing is her daughters ! So seeing you out there just reminds me of her !God Bless You Sister and stay safe out there ❤🙏🏾

[@TheFishingMommy]

It takes a lot of courage to be honest with yourself & realize it’s time to step back and rest a minute. You gotta take care of you! That’s what’s really most important.

[@bobbolieu9013]

You dud great Kristine. I am proud that you did what you knew that you really needed to do. Some times the hardest thing to do is to give ourselves room to not be at the top of the list every time. You took smart steps this weekend. It wasn't about the fish. It was about you taking care of you.

[@johnwhite993]

Road warrior life is tough. Please take some time and rest. You are such a warrior Kristine and such an inspiration to never give up. Thank you for being us along on your amazing journey. Get some rest and reset and recharge. Safe travels

Those Saginaw Bay bass are feisty little buggers. I have a summer RV site on the bay in Au Gres Michigan.

[@wesleysmith6018]

Strong winds from the North! Little lady we had problems with that in the south last weekend. You did great!

[@robbysmusic8507]

another great video, thank you for sharing. all the best.

[@Kiomanche]

Your going to figure out as you get some years under your belt that your health is the most important thing to focus on, always listen to your body! Hang in there and be safe!

[@jeremyflynt308]

We have all been there. It’s more important to listen to your body and mind to know when to slow down. This is a marathon not a sprint. And I for one would love to roll out at 9 and off the water by noon and STILL get a limit!😂😅

[@GirlGoneFishing]

I don’t have any idea how you were fishing a worm on a baitcaster in that wind! Skills!

[@garysfishtales]

Wind is not a friend to Kayaks, but you were still hammering them. Way to grind it out.

[@MrFishingOhio]

Looks like a cool place to fish!

[@ryanboldt7751]

Got to love the Great Lakes, middle of summer and you gotta wear a snowsuit

[@richardwest-q8w]

Those whitecaps were tough. Fishing in those watrs for several hours had to be exhausting.

[@Wilford_j]

The road life is a tuff life. When i would travel people, would say must be nice. It was fun but it is a grind.

[@richardjohnson6695]

Largemouth will win a one day tournament. Try the cat tail islands just north of Linwood. Flip a big jig deep and just shake it. One will pick it up.

[@BevRich-y8u]

Keep your head in the game Young lady...

[@BevRich-y8u]

Young lady please tell Gee we were rotting for him on St Lawrence.. Tell him not to give up please.. Hope both of yens had good time up there?? Looking forward to both of yens crushing it out there in the future...

[@jakekong8489]

Great job

At this point in the career (ten years into it), one has to begin to operate now in ways, which buys you back some greater longeivity and staying power 'at the other end', as yo start to face into that second decade at a sport. Preventative maintenance is kind of key I think. We think it's nothing for example to see a Rick Clunn fish to the 'far end' of five decades in bass competition. However, even for the likes of Clunn I'd still say 'it got harder' in his second decade than in his first. And I've no clue as to what it means to go into three, four, five decades at something. One can only speculate, and most of us will never know. I can say about 'fishing', I don't know why, but stuff can happen there between forty age and fifty age in one's fishing, that is the best of it. I could go flat out in my twenties I recall, but all that twenties and thirties did in fishing was to lay down the foundation for what happens in my forties. I think for me, in my fifth decade I was done with the fad's and have enough focus on stuff that matters, to make it count.

[@academicmailbox7798]

By the way, looking at that environment I'm reminded of saltwater environments in Louisiana. Jon Miller on speckled trout angling.

[@centralbears3010]

POWERFUL MESSAGE!

[@sgbawg0]

Go pro is a bit hard of hearing in the wind. Cup one of your hands like a mega phone when you yell instructions to the gopro... that helps focus the sound wave. The PA14 handled those white caps like a champ.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Good tips! Thanks dude!

[@ebaker60]

How do you not get your line hooked on top of those pencil reeds? I find them so hard to fish from a canoe.

[@lisaa.powell3634]

You deserve it, gotta love that down time. Ever listen to Dr. Stanley Intouch ministries? That's how I get recharged when I need a little energy. Listen to that body, it's telling you to get your rest, so you'll be safe on the water.

[@northernbassalliance1442]

Man to bad it was so windy im from northern Mi. Sag bay is one of the most insane smallue fisheries.fullll of 5 and 6lb smallies.

[@Osprey1955]

Not sure if anyone else mentioned this but you’ve got your navigation lights reversed. Red should be on the port side and green on the starboard.

[@DonScoralleJr]

Use a number 4/0 on Riser. Enjoy the hunt. We are so privileged to do what we do today with our time. Kings and queens of the past never had it as good as we! Food in abundance and pleasure like no others! God is good.

[@wesleysmith6018]

Hate hear on the snooze, we love ya still.

[@plhauslein]

Preach!

[@kristinefischer2289]

Yes Pat!

[@sculptor210]

Not even three minutes in and I’m sitting here, alone, yelling out “your net, your net!” 😂 Sometimes you just need to be still and enjoy the moment. Always glad to see you give yourself some grace...I should probably do that for myself. 😁

[@josezavala5780]

Having a lot of baits on the market? Why only used Powerbait or Berkley?

[@johndavis5662]

Good to see you taking a little time for yourself. Ryanbolt 7751 said it best.

[@scalesandtailsoutdoors]

Your navigation lights are wrong. Red is on the port side

[@cuivre2004]

I see what you are going through from many kayak club members. You can only be gung-ho for so long. Sometimes you need to hit the reset button recharge.

[@ebaker60]

Up in my area! Enjoy 🎉

As deep as they are long

[@kristinefischer2289]

….. yes

[@AbdulRahim-cu7y]

Hi Kristine! Do you edit videos yourself, or have you hired someone? I'm an editor and would love to discuss, if you’re interested.

[@andrewscott3184]

you never done it?

[@stevehogan8829]

Take a break

[@ryanproulx7641]

Grew up on the Saginaw Bay, never know what you might pull out. Surprised you didn't hook into a pike up by the reeds! Btw, one of those launches looked familiar; was one the Pine River launch?

[@kristinefischer2289]

So I actually hooked a giant flipping and lost it 🥹

[@ryanproulx7641]

Dang!

[@timjohns191]

Those fish are FAT

[@kristinefischer2289]

Northern fish are wild
