NEW river tournament recap (BEAR CROSSING)

[@glxbe]

Man i'm stupid, the way you wrote the description I thought the river was named bear crossing lmao.

[@larryknoob9798]

Thumbs up Thanks for a great video

[@forrhs8430]

The New River in Virginia? About what part of the river did you fish? where did you put the kayak in?

[@OldLadyAngler]

Rivers are a whole new ballgame! Looks like a lot of fun! Bear crossing was EPIC!!

[@raydalton1110]

wow sight of a lifetime, seeing a bear crossing, that was rare and cool he didnt seem to mind you watching

[@kristinefischer2289]

It was so cool!

[@weinbea]

chesty is the besty🎉

[@kristinefischer2289]

Ok! Y’all have spoken!

[@TheFishingMommy]

If you ever get in a Gopro situation like that again, maybe have a hat mount on hand? I personally think the hat view gives a much better first person POV than the chesty. But of course your usual setup is much better than either! That bear was so cool! I love bears.

[@raxxy1128]

This view was not good. We saw your knees and your feet more than anything. When you catch a fish and are reeling it in your camera looks at the sky as your pulling back. Old view in my humble opinion…..way better.

[@kristinefischer2289]

I agree! I was so bummed my camera behind me wasn’t working

[@davidcloyd1296]

What spinning reel was that that you began catching em big on a wacky rig?

[@cobrajet8866]

Lions and Tigers and BEARS - Oh My!

[@forrhs8430]

Don't those Kayak seats hurt your back after a full day fishing from it?

[@creedpowell]

Great video. Where on The New was this. I've fished it most of my life.

[@rickburke5185]

Chesty sicks by comparison.

[@wesliegrayfishing]

The bear was def good luck! So much fun fishing with you on this one!

[@rednissan96]

What a day...a bear swimming is a big plus. I watched a nice buck cross a lake in a tourney. The chest view was good in the fact we seen a close look at your fish and your measuring. But For me, I like the pole mount better. It might just be me but I could watch you skip baits ALL day.😊

[@kristinefischer2289]

Yes! I think I’ll end up maybe trying to incorporate both!

[@dawnparker2014]

What a rough day...haven't we all had days like that but you had some great Naional Giographic Moments! When I scuba dived a lot and saw something that you usually don't see, I would call it my National Geographic Moment and would always remember them. Can't wait for day two!

[@kristinefischer2289]

Haha I love that

[@Santi_95]

Do you have any videos of your rod and reel setup?

[@johnwhite993]

The chesty is a great view and vantage point. Only bad part is we can’t see your beautiful smile.

[@kristinefischer2289]

It was kind of a pain to run a battery pac with it also- I’ll see how it goes moving forward

[@riverrat988]

That bear as awesome. Way to rally at the end

[@americanvarietyoutdoors]

I just had my first flopoff in the LaCrosse Bassmaster event. For the gopro issues maybe check that your external battery can put out at least 2.4 amps. The longer cord has more resistance and requires a more capable power source. I use a 3 amp power supply for my hero 10. Good job. See you in a couple weeks in LaCrosse at the Hobie event.

[@kristinefischer2289]

That is helpful- thank you!

[@kristinefischer2289]

Also sorry to hear about your fish!

[@chrismccrowey990]

Great video!!! Sooo much better when the videos are longer than 15min1

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thank you for the feedback 🙌

[@sgbawg0]

That's one of the reasons I love kayak fishing.. you never know what you're going to come across. I wonder where that bear's mama was?

[@jamesedwards1806]

Holy cow I'm 1st!👍🏻👴🦸🏻‍♀️🎣🇺🇸🦅

[@kristinefischer2289]

Yes you are! Thank ya!

[@Davidfca1]

For your safety. Non slip water shoes and shorter steps when walking trough Rapids. The support and how happy you are for your friend is great to see.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thanks for the tips!

[@danielhedrick9917]

Prefer the other view personally. That bear crossing was so cool.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thanks for the input! I do too personally

[@johndrx165]

Cool video! Nice river.

[@DarenAnthony-z1h]

Camera messed up, You lost fish, lost baits, threw baits away, caught dinks all day..... And you and your buddy are still giggling! I love your videos! Keep up the good work. And the fun

[@kerrypitt9789]

I may have missed what happened to your boat? I enjoy you and Gee together. If you have slippery issues, go to a fly shop and get a pair of wading sandals. You will not slip any more. They are about $100 Canadian, probably $80 US. I love that boat your friend is running!

[@MarkPolsky]

Damn that was a tough one…But you pulled it together at the end. Well done top 20! 🔨🔨🔨

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thanks Mark! Losing that fish off the board killed me :(

[@MarkPolsky]

@@kristinefischer2289 That’s just rough man oh man! Hey in less than two weeks I a head to the Susquhanna river. Can’t wait! Big smallies!

[@deborahcincotta3600]

HOW AWSOME TO SEE THE BEar cross the river i love to watch the wildlife for sure love to get out early and hear the birds wake up and start singing i love to fish the susguhana down by the conowingo dam and up to pa line lotsa wild life

[@understandingautism1389]

Wouldn’t winning tournaments be easier with a bass boat rather then a kayak

[@InebriHATED]

Kayaks for life!

[@kristinefischer2289]

I mean no, in a kayak tournament, I think winning in a kayak is the only vessel you’d (be able to) win in 🤣

[@RonnyWesterlund]

Thank you for another wonderful video. Im so impressed how good you are to throw the bait. You throw in under docks and under trees, I have tried that but my proudness stops me to tell the result. At least I can say that the squirell in the tree survived. Apoligize for bad english and thank you once again. Hugs Ron Sweden

[@MrCaissed]

Nice Kristine! When nothing is working for me I always go to a wacky worm set up. Baby bass or purple with blue and gold flakes for flashing. They’re my go to when nothing else works!

[@skydiver6711]

Was there a bear crossing sign in that location?

[@kristinefischer2289]

I mean had to have been! 🤣

[@jimmycovington1517]

Love to see your competitive spirit, but able to retain joy for your pal on her big fish. I am a fan !!!!

[@BakerBaker1-9]

So very cool 😎

[@michaelsacco3098]

What If that bear started coming towards your kayak???😂

[@stevewalter517]

5 words you never hear me say when I'm kayak fishing "That's a bear come on" 😯

[@kennyelliott5002]

Kristine that bear crossing was a sight ! We've all had those days when ya see yourself slipping ... but ya kept your head in the game and made a good comeback !

[@RobertWhitaker-pd9pk]

Way to grind and still have fun! The bear was awesome!

[@beerfrog_TheOriginal]

This sounds more like friends on the water having fun then an ongoing tournament day. Love the positive vibes ☀️

[@jeremycarpenter5550]

What state where you in ?

[@kristinefischer2289]

Virginia !

[@SimplyFishing]

Way to hang in there.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thank you - wasn’t easy!

[@andyshumate4753]

Nice recovery.

[@jmccOutdoors]

Was this a team event ?

[@kristinefischer2289]

No it wasn’t. But it was a river tournament, and Weslie and I were float partners IE used both trucks and did a big float
