TOURNEY RECAP (Lake St. Clair HBO day 1)

[@matthaley8176]

It's a lot of fun to watch you catch such big smallies . It gets me excited for you.

[@pernamore4224]

So beautiful! Tight lines, sister!

Great fishing! wish I could do that. Can't wait to get back out on the water.

Bravo Kristine, wonderful video, great Smallmouth, I have to get to St Clair one day... Danny ;-)

fun you video ❤

[@jimrowland6089]

What a fantastic day of fishing. I need to go spend time up there soon.

[@kristinefischer2289]

It’s a phenomenal fishery - world class

[@tameraortiz7485]

Sweet! This video rocks. I can't wait for part 2. I'll have to try my kitech swim baits on a football jig. I like to paint my jig heads different colors for St. Clair. The green and brown are pretty killer. Also, a glittered silver works in those clear waters. Love your videos! 😀

[@kristinefischer2289]

Ahhh that’s so funny you say that! I usually go a green matte on mine in clear water! Just ran out of the few I had and found a few last minute that I didn’t have time to paint. I took a file to the silver to dull it alittle though! Great minds think alike!

[@INDYTEKKIN]

I noticed that too, great idea to mimick goby’s on the bottom. @Kristine, what brand / type football head are you using?

[@charmnGUY]

Beautiful angler!

[@the_toxicbadger2547]

My buddy told me this tip when measuring fish, Leave the fish in the net with the hook in and wait for them to stop squirming around. A tip for everyone.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Yep, I do that often - also good for the fish

Lk st. Clair is a fish factory I've had many tourny days like that. I could here the disappointment in ur voice seeing those 17 when you know you need the 22 23s. Great fishing you did everything u could especially being in a kayak. Looked great doing it to!

Haha thank you, I’m definitely trying to do something different than most female fishing channels, in the sense that I don’t believe in clickbait- I want to share the knowledge I have and show that I can talk the talk AND walk the walk by cashing checks on the water!

[@cstarsfly]

Impressive!

[@davidmelendez4729]

Before I bite the head off I’ll rotate it four times prior 180. The new exit point of the hook keeps the plastic set a little longer. They take a lot punishment...the tail action stays the same.

Great idea

Yes , I leave the fish in the net while I get my board and camera ready!

[@TheMichiganFisherman]

Unreal how those guys cut you off and went RIGHT in front of you at the 07:47 mark. In front of a kayaker where you basically have ONE direction to cast...in front you 😂 People who don't film fishing don't realize how much further the camera makes people look. Those guys were closer to you than I've EVER had people to me and I've fished the Spring on LSC when people basically have no choice but to be close to you. Insane. You handled that better than I would have.

[@thedookster4143]

Nice work. I hope you win this thing. This may be a silly question but, do you have to be in a hobbies. Or no?

[@kristinefischer2289]

No you can be in any kayak!

[@HookLineandKyleP]

Holy crap! Those smallies, were pigs. Good job

Use some lock tight on the swimbaits and you should be able to get a few more out of them. Tight lines!

Solid...killing it! What's your go pro/battery/software setup. Videos are great!

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thanks CT! I run old school go pros - two hero 4’s with a refuel battery pac that attaches to the back. This gets me about 4.5 hours of run time. I can get most of my tourneys in with only three battery changes. I just use IMOVIE because it is free and easy to use haha

Believe or not, I’ve never fished a tube. Do you swim them or fish them like a worm?

Depends... this tourney I was dragging them, not much cracking or popping

You sure caught some good ones on them. One more question. Are tubes primarily used for smallies?

You gotta get active captain for the graphs

[@pywifishingandoutdoors]

I don't own spots when fishing, and don't mind sharing, but just hate it when a boat runs right in front of your waypoint(s) and where you're casting. Shows how dumb some boat owners who don't have any courtesy, or have a clue on what they're doing. I've had several encounters on my local lake, I worked hard to paddle my hobie and hours graphing that spot.

[@DaveDangles]

Of course they are not relating to grass - early July - Lake St. Clair...they just spawned. They are still on beds protecting, or left beds to feed.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Actually, the winning bag was produced fishing grass. Just not in my area. Though it was behind, Very few bass were on beds.

[@DaveDangles]

All in all - end of June into early July is the best time to fish that lake besides fall. Kudos on the good finish...As you know, just because they are actively feeding doesn't mean people actively catch them.

[@bakervinci163]

You must fish this place a lot and know your electronics. I gotta have a motor to see what you see. I may get me a yak

After watching the guys on mlf I'm really surprised you were able to horse them in so quick.. I do realize with a swim baits you were probably using heaver line than you would with a drop shot..

"Here come the Bass boats" something EVERY yak angler has said.
