Kayak TOURNAMENT (Fishing against Jordan LEE!)

[@GeneBussler]

I’m turning 47 this year and I feel like I’m too old to get into fishing serious and entering tournaments out of my kayak. However, I just want to let you know that you’re a huge inspiration and I thank you for taking the time to put these KZbin videos together. I’m going to get my things in order to fish the 2023 season and hopefully be fishing against you and others of your caliber. Tight lines!

Congratulations your fishing was amazing, this place has beautiful fish. 👍🎣🐠😊 Hug and good fishing!

[@BrandonBarton13]

Great video. I cant wait to go back to Guntersville.

[@WOODPlLE]

Nicely done 👍

[@jamierice3189]

The more I watch your videos the more my respect for you grows.. you're ability to figure out fish is impressive.. and the fact you do it in a kayak because boat control is vitally important.. your quickly becoming one my favorite angler's.. your definitely my favorite on youtube..

[@kristinefischer2289]

Appreciate that very much! Thank you for the support !

[@rodneygreen9968]

Nice job Gal. You did OK for your day of fishing. Figure those fish out & catchem. You finished in the Money that day. Great Days are Positive for Future Success.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thank you!!

[@bwoneymaddic446]

I'm a 66-year old female who fishes from a solo canoe. It's great to watch another woman catching bass. I like your commentary too. My best morning in 2022 was 57 bass, but to reach that pond, I had to carry my canoe through the woods.

[@stevehogan8829]

Hey Kristine. Thanks for putting this together. Great to see how you're thinking. Love watching you fish. You absolutely own your Kayak. I just sit in mine like a big blob. You're all over yours.

[@daviddura1172]

Very well done!

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thanks David!

[@NellysfishingAdventures]

Very nice! Congratulations and how cool is that you got to meet Jordan Lee

[@kristinefischer2289]

He’s awesome

[@HellaBass]

Like the detailed explanation

[@FishingwithAllyG]

Nice job way to go! So glad you stayed the course! You are an inspiration!

[@apollokollias8915]

Good going! Nice call on the slough.

[@marekkiermacz6788]

learning so much, thank You

[@richardbrown986]

Way to grind it out and keep your calm and let the fish tell you what they want. Great video , tight lines as always

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thanks 👍

[@dustinbrunson9262]

Awesome job! On them lily pads though I think I would've tried sliding a weightless power worm off in the middle of those pads and let if fall down the holes very methodically. It looked like it held more fish further back in the pads. I love to fish the edges as well but sometime there down in there .

[@kristinefischer2289]

I actually started doing that this year! Works !! Thanks man!

[@teedoo17]

Hello, you are amazing you are such a motivator. I love your knowledge of fishing.

[@basstex6703]

Congrats. really enjoy your videos. Great breakdown. Your attitude and grind on the water is to be Respected.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thanks mark!

[@adamalma2945]

Love your videos

[@jadeshand2990]

Were you wacky worming or just straight retrieve with a weightless worm? I’ve learned more from you this season than I have from all the others combined. What I enjoy so much is how you methodically figure out what they are doing when your first plan doesn’t work out. Never panic, just persevere. Great lesson that can be applied to all aspects of life. Hope you had a great time this past weekend. I so wanted to be there, but didn’t hear about it until too late to prepare. Next year! Should be interesting to see what the big tournaments do on Rayburn this year. We had high water (10 ft high) from January to late summer. There are no grass beds left. It’s like fishing a completely different lake. One other question, were you in the river or just a narrow cove?

[@kristinefischer2289]

Weightless T rig- guntersville lake

[@stevekynard6658]

Big congrats Kristine. Love your videos. You have ideas I never would have thought of in the shallow water.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Always trying to adapt - it’s the key to success !

[@mattress2331]

Great job

[@stephenhirschhorn1833]

Just found you, Congratulations on tournament. Great to see your enthusiasm for sport. I just bought a PA 14. Im loving it, more fun than my boat. Do you do any salt water fishing. Im down in South Padre,just wondering if you had any salt videos. Thanks. Enjoyed your video.Tight lines.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thank you!!! I try and do some salt fishing whenever I can !

[@Stiksfishingchannel]

nice job..

[@georgebowman3051]

Amazing strategy. We’ll done Kristine.

[@spottedcow2888]

Another great fish. I think it would be awesome if you could do a tube of how you transport a RV, kayaks, gear and all that from one place to another across the country.

[@timsmith259]

have you ever fished Lake Delavan in Wisconsin

[@kristinefischer2289]

No sir

[@BluewaterKayakFishing]

Awesome job , just subscribed to your channel ,great content.

[@fysh1945]

Great recap and congrats on your finish. Good luck at the championship! This winter when the snow is flying at home it would be awesome if you could do a video on how you prep for a tourney. Maps you use, things you're looking for in an ideal fishing spot and etc.

[@kristinefischer2289]

I will do that! .... in between ice fishing trips ;)

[@rolandmcclendon1394]

Your the greatest

[@howsbubbs]

Your awsome i have a question for you i want to start fishing on a kayak whats a good starter yak in the 500$ and under. Ive never did it before im just starting so dont want to spend alot yet

[@kristinefischer2289]

I bought a used kayak, so I saved a ton of money but didn’t get a “cheap” kayak. I’d browse the used market and look for Jackson nucanoe wilderness

[@roddinnreelin8825]

That no hook frog gets us all hyped up, but that chatterbait wins em ;) I got all hyped on the frog at Seminole haha

[@southoutmcknight3263]

Great video. I like the breakdown of these tournaments

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thanks for the feedback

[@wordhog61]

I usually fish alot of pads, grass, heavy cover. At times I miss 4 or 5. Instead of a great day, I only have a good day, 6 or 7 Bass. Knowing that misses are part of the game helps. I also love fishing my Spinnerbait on the edges and openings and catch alot of Bass that way.

[@ron2893]

Pretty good finish

[@DUDAFISHING]

Love this video. You are really getting your style down. You are a credit to anglers everywhere. Thanks for putting in all the editing work to make these. Also. The VLOG style of your videos is great. Never feel like you need to make 100% fishing action videos. You have your own great channel here. Go get em!!!!!!

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thank you! I appreciate that, I’m just doing me!

[@coreybitzel1252]

What st croix rod r u using for spinnerbaits? I’m thinking about getting the 6’9” sniper tournament legend

[@kristinefischer2289]

The sweeper spinner bait is by far my fav. I use it for top water too. 70MHMF legend tourney

[@coreybitzel1252]

Kristine Fischer yeah I been trying to figure out which one to buy thanks for the info. I been switching everything out to st croix,what would u recommend for chatterbaits?? Maybe since everything is being shutdown u can make a video on all ur great rods u have😍👏🏼👏🏼

[@kristinefischer2289]

Will do for sure - I use the sweeper for chatter baits in close quarters and the legend glass for open water and grass

[@brodycoen7682]

What frog rod is that?

[@kristinefischer2289]

This is the LXC76HF st Croix

[@markdavis303]

Just shows it is skll not a big boat.. Great job.

[@cloutdoors6286]

Sweet video I learned a lot from watching your videos keep it up

[@kristinefischer2289]

Good to hear, thanks for the support

Very cool story! Congrats on 8th. This is my first season in kayak. got 5th/108 but since then been a struggle all year adapting

[@kristinefischer2289]

That’s a great finish!

[@dcooper701]

What campground are you staying at. I have been looking for a campground near the water. Do you lake access there for putting the kayak in if you wanted?

[@curtisloden7201]

Good Job 👍 on figuring out how to catch them

Great Job Kristine! Also, thank you for sharing your experiences with us!

we were at the state park, what camp ground are you at here?

You are very impressive to watch. Most tournament guys would get rattled and move on. Great job on figuring it out.

Awesome as usual!! Congrats on another top 10. I'm hoping to really pick up my tournament participation in the coming year and improve my angling skills! Thanks Kristine!

[@kristinefischer2289]

Stick with it

That is the reason why bass fishing carried so many rods , to those who's asked the why's

You're a beast. Love the video with the insight on how you caught em.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thanks for watching :)

[@TechnicallyRugged]

I really appreciated your breakdown of the day, your thinking, tactics, etc. I always love watching catches but it's great to hear the whole story, and you did a good job of explaining it all. Subbed for more kayak fishing goodness!

Congrats on your top 10 placement keep it up you are making yourself known on the KBF tournament trail very happy for you and your hardwork😁😁

[@charlespinson6693]

Off Subject- I went to look at some Kayaks this weekend. I noticed a few that were fitted with small motors. Are motors allowed on your vessel during Kayak Tournaments? Also what is your feelings on Kayaks and motors? Thank, great Post, keep them coming.

[@kristinefischer2289]

A few tournaments allow them but most don’t. My personal opinion is I’d rather have them not be allowed. It’s kayak fishing and should be physically demanding

[@chefpoet1972]

I TOLD you! You're obviously a damned good angler! You did beat JLee, and beat out, what was it? 110 others? Congratulations!!!

[@kristinefischer2289]

Just trying to stay consistent!

[@chefpoet1972]

Well, you're consistently killing it!

[@dustinlittrell89]

Way to get it! Always fun beating a 2x BASSMASTER Classic champ. You don’t they that opportunity too often, well maybe next year by the sound of it :)

[@kristinefischer2289]

It was a great opportunity and Jordan is such a class act!

[@fishinncrapoutdoors4651]

Great job sticking to your guns, going back to basics and figuring those fish out to pull 8th place! Amazing!

[@kristinefischer2289]

It was a tough field, I was happy with 8th!

[@petewelter]

Really nice breakdown of what you did and even more important, why you made the decisions you did. Useful for just about any tournament angler.

[@charlespinson6693]

I swear, you seem to have Kayak Bass fishing down to a science. Your great at it.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Appreciate that, always learning!

[@andrew_brent]

K for Konfidence! Awesome finish Kristine, way to catch em' !

[@kristinefischer2289]

👊🏻👊🏻

[@badmofo350]

Frog fishing can be so tough. I wouldn't want to depend on it in a tourney. I have a ton of confidence in a buzzbait though. Thanks for sharing! I enjoy hearing about your experiences in detail in the recap vids.

[@kristinefischer2289]

I cashed some big checks last year with that same buzzbait, happy to be able to do it again here :)

[@toddfarmer6210]

Congratulations on a great finish! Next time try a Johnson Silver Minnow with a white twister tail as a follow up bait to the frog. That is one of my go to baits when the bass are striking short in the pads or seem to need glasses. You can skip it over the top & drop it down in the holes. Very few people use it anymore & the bigger fish can't leave it alone. If you use it & win I want a shout out!

[@kristinefischer2289]

Ahh old school ! Great tip and reminder ! Thank you for sharing!!

[@toddfarmer6210]

Should I stay or should I go is a decision I struggle with. Slowing down is too. Top ten is impressive, congrats! And an added bonus taboot 😉

[@kristinefischer2289]

Yes sir! I’m guilty of leaving fish to find fish, but I’ve learned you don’t do that !

[@BravoBassin]

I am with you I do well in lilly pads on the outside edges and when there are good lanes to cast down but super thick pads have been tough for me even when flipping them just don't get to do it that much as the places I fish do not have a lot of lilly pads in them more grass and laydowns which I do really well at. Great video always love your tournament recaps!

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thanks man! I’m the same way.. didn’t grow up with areas that had pads, so I wasn’t able to get much experience there.

[@crowejr77]

Congrats on your top 10 finish. I like how you stuck to it and grinded out a great limit. Will be watching for the next one, great content and breakdown. 513

Cant go wrong with that Ledgend X. 6'10" medium is my favorite rod by St. Croix.

[@scottshankland98]

Abandoning our “strengths” and finding the pattern the fish want is half the battle! Good job on grinding it out and placing in the top 10!

[@nrgreenresourcesonsulting]

That's pretty close to where I fished the Hobie. I love that area of the lake, regret though that I probably didn't fish it to its best potential. But yeah, that area is stacked with fish.
