As a father of daughters, THIS IS HUGE. I REALLY LOOK UP TO YOU KRISTIN! Most interested in your personal critical feed back. simple pointers, how you study before, how you interact with the competition, where you at? each tournament, YOU DO YOU AND TAKE US WITH YOU. DONT FORGET THE LITTLE GIRLS, TENNAGE GIRS, MOMS, ALL GIRLS. KEEP YOUR LOVE FOR THE GIRLS GETTING INTO THE SPORT AND BRIEF ON CASHING CHECKS.

[@kristinefischer2289]

THIS stuff makes my day!!

[@plhauslein]

My respect for you comes from your integrity. Keep that and I'll keep following.

[@leedee1277]

I hope that you will listen most to the voices of women in the answers to your questions- men have a lot of ideas and opinions which, while totally fine, shouldn’t drive your response. Now- with that said- I am a woman who fishes saltwater and watch you only because I love your content but no plans to jump to bass fishing. What I’d like to see is you being true to yourself, worrying less about others’ and letting them down, and doing/showing your true life experience. I dislike that you feel like you have to respond to critics and critiques. My one and only goal I would want for you is to live and learn each day. Be happy and fulfilled and if you’re not that, then make a change. Best of luck, and I’m going to love your journey all the way!

[@kristinefischer2289]

@@leedee1277 love this!!! Im a listener by nature, so I like to listen to everyone, but I feel like I’ve always had a good filter regarding what I take to heart and what I let pass on by! Appreciate you for following along, I’d love to do more salt water things! Used to do a bunch!

[@Mr_Phamtaztik]

I’ve fished for freshwater bass 30+ years with over 20 years of boating experience, I can assure you will be just fine. You’ll get the hang of it as time goes by. As long as you’re willing to learn and being able to take bad with the good, you’ll be alright. As for more women in this sport, the more the better. You asked what we would like to see content wise moving forward. I love seeing what’s behind the scenes. I like some transparency. I’m pretty sure you’re familiar with one Greg Blanchard. I love the way he incorporates his buddies in the videos. I like his AirBnB tours. It’s not always about the fishing. It’s about the journeys and laughs as well. Seeing what you did the other day at the boat ramp is real life stuff. A lot of us have gone through those boating mishaps even if we’re seasoned. So it’s relatable. I think your goal is to continue being the best person you can be in and out of the water. Do the right thing and the rest will follow. You have a great chance to cement your legacy as an ambassador of this sport for all upcoming and new anglers. Cheers.

[@kristinefischer2289]

See I’ve wondered about sharing the behind the scenes at tournaments… I may start doing that. Love Greg have so much respect for him

[@yakityakteriw6774]

I'm one of these women who own their own boat, I'm co angling my first couple years before I consider being captain. I don't have sponsors, so I am doing this on my own. Will I ever be as good as you or Stephanie? Most likely not. But I'm not doing kayak anymore, I'm doing local tourneys and even THAT'S a grind. You'll do awesome Kristine, you've got so much experience I can't see you not excelling. I'm proud of you on moving to boat. It's a different world piloting your own boat. Please take a safety course if you haven't yet. Cabelas, BP does it. It's worth it. It saved me on insurance by 15 or 20% with safeco, whom I use for insurance. I'd like to see how you've got things set up on your boat. I'd like to learn what tourneys you are planning to do. Hugs lady Also I've skunked my last two tourneys. So it's tough sometimes and it's hard. The guys do look down on us women if we don't catch. Men don't realize the pressure is women feel in this world. Goals for your Kristine : DON'T BE TOUGH ON YOU. I get the whole not wanting to let anyone down. Be easy on you and take your time. For weigh in, make sure you use G JUICE in the well. Keep fin clips on the boat to help too if they float upside down. You gotta just roll with the punches. I need to learn this one. It's hard af. The bass boat folks are way different than kayak folks... but you are known Kristine, . Just be gentle on you. You're learning and won't ever stop. 😊

[@kristinefischer2289]

WOW you are an INSPIRATION!! The fact that you have your boat and are putting yourself out there is HUGE, and THAT helps motivate me in a MAJOR way!!!! Thanks for the good advice, and i hope i see you on the water one day!

[@TheFishingMommy]

You will not let anybody down-just be yourself. We aren’t here to watch you WIN all the time…we’re here because your passion, kindness, and commitment to supporting women in this sport is unparalleled. Also, the skips are awesome, haha. Keep doing what you’re doing!! Ps I finish nearly dead last all the time in tournaments. I choose to think of myself as a patron of the arts for the folks who know how to fish. 😂 YOU inspired me.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Literally cannot wait to see you and give you a hug

[@christinerogers5331]

Kristine, first and foremost, your heart is in the right place, everything else will follow suite, you will find your niche and before long you will be one with it!! I am so excited for you and no matter the content; I'll be waiting anxiously for each and every video! ❤

[@user-bj5bn9kb2i]

Your doing great Kristine! I do like seeing updates of you and what's going on. Also, give updates while you are fishing and give reasoning for why you are adjusting your strategy. That makes things more engaging and interesting to watch your decision making pay out. Kristine you are an amazing person and an inspiration to a lot of people. Don't worry too much about letting anyone letting down and instead just focus on you. No matter what we will be here to support. All love Kristine!

[@MsKindaSorta]

I wanna see it all!!! Great job, Kristine🎉🎉🎉

[@SevenOaksOutdoors]

Your attitude, drive and dedication is unmatched. There’s nothing you cant do! Well wishes in the opens! You got this! 😊

[@dj-pizza]

Just go out there and have fun!!

[@toddlawson9365]

Just be yourself and have fun and things will work out. Always great content, I have learned a few things from you and have been fishing for a long time.

[@mandisanders7510]

I’m so excited to see you get into the boat world as a young kayak angler

[@daveblackmore4472]

Hello, I like your channel, kayaking and the boating part also. I’m recovering from hip replacement and really enjoy rewatch your videos. It is really helping the time past quickly for the recovery. I like your tournament day 1 and 2. Early in the morning. Thank you for being so grounded and being you.

[@johnwhite993]

You could never let us down Kristine. Do your best and we will be right here watching and cheering you on

[@kristinefischer2289]

Can't wait to see all your adventures and big dish that are coming your way .oh I would love to fish that tournament with you ,what a great trip that would be ,keep your head you got this take care.till next time 😊

[@keithpowell2786]

First and foremost congratulations. I’m taking this next step. You gonna do great yes they’ll be learning curves, but I feel you’re gonna be the first lady in the elite series. As for the content goes, keep it just like it is walk us through the whole program learning the boat safety features you add the accessories you add and the fishing adventures we want to be right beside you and support you all the way Again, congratulations and we look forward to watching you through this journey and thanks for taking us along

[@tgillrgill]

The biggest thing you need to overcome is the fact that this is a one step at a time adventure. Any mistake is a lesson learned. Your positivity will take you further than any failures. I can tell by your emotions that the first step is getting your boat set up for you. You got this and a lot of support.

[@shananfuhrman8289]

First place or last place, we just want to be with you on your journey. Sharing your story and experiences so we can cheer you on along the way. Forget about the pressure and what you represent for others, just go out there and compete and have fun!

[@shutterpriority4618]

As a more "seasoned" woman one thing I learned is once I stopped worrying about disappointing those whom I could never please & diverted that energy to my work while seeking advice from trusted family/friends & what God's plan was for me, I became a more confident, strong woman. Please never waste your energy worrying about disappointing "us" Kristine. You have accomplished a great deal & will do great in this new endeavor YOUR way.

[@bigdawgbassin9001]

Kristine, Take us along through the whole boat experience, It is gonna be fun to watch. I have had a bass boat for years, I still remember my first one, Loading, unloading, ramp and fishing etiquette, A few mistakes here and there, but now it is old hat, Just be mindful of your surroundings thing happen a lot faster in a bass boat than on a kayak, but you will do fine. Just be careful and fill that live well, See you on Chickamauga whenever you are down this way.

[@wgb925]

Wishing you the very best!

[@kristinefischer2289]

That is so appreciated Bill, thanks!

You can't let us down because you have done so much by taking the first step. Believing in yourself and doing what you love!!!

You keep going and give them heck !!!!

[@frankgilroy3189]

I think you have a great plan!

[@stephanietidwell6132]

You are such an inspiration to every female in this world. You are so honest and upfront about your fishing and in NO WAY are you gonna let anyone down. You keep doing exactly what your doing. You have given me such a drive to get out and enter kayak fishing tournaments. I have grown up bass fishing and absolutely LOVE it. I get so excited when I see you put out another video on KZbin and have told many of my friends to follow you. So Good Luck with the Bassmaster, you will do fantastic. God Bless You anf Thank you.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Appreciate that so much Stephanie , that means the world! ❤️👊🏻

[@chrism4715]

You do you, as long as you try the respect is there, good luck catch them all

[@Minnecoldah1]

Be authentically YOU !! Continue to evolve into the greatest version of you -- max out You (ie, don't try to be better than anyone else, don't compare yourself to others, strive to get a bit better each day). I just got my first boat and started fishing last year (I am not young, I just never made the time to do it during a busy career) -- so my interest would be in watching/learning from you as you grow in to boat fishing (I have no intention of going into tournament fishing, yet I want to improve my fishing/boating skills). You are serving as a fantastic role model for all of the young girls/women out there (and for boys/men as well). Courage !!

[@kristinefischer2289]

Good to know and congrats on the boat!! :)

[@jasonbeckfishing]

As with other guys on the tours like Scott Martin and a few others. I love watching the 4 or 5 videos of them doing the traveling, doing the practices then lead up to the events. Super excited to watch you and your journey. Good luck with everything and go show them that Gilrs can fish. Your first goal should be finding fish and get a limit.

[@fishkrackhed]

Go get em! Enjoyed the seminar at Mariner Sails

[@jimschreiner6482]

Just keep doing what you are already doing and have a blast and never worry about disappointing your fans. If they get disappointed they're not your fans anyway. I'll be pulling for ya.

[@tnbasser1995]

Spot on KF. Im sure you feel like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders but you seem to have a great plan and realistic outlook for the opens. I wish you the very best of luck. It will soo cool to see more lady anglers

[@robbyblack2699]

We are absolutely interested in the travel, lodging, sponsorships and the fishing.. your personal experiences on the road are what will mold your character as a traveling angler. But, you MUST not worry about who you’re letting down. You need to worry about not letting yourself down. As long as you always do your best, no matter what, you’ll be fine. Your biggest goal for hartwell is this Get through it safely, and HAVE FUN.

[@bassgirl4962]

I got out of fishing from a boat & went to kayak fishing 30 years ago. I also switched to fly fishing. My favorite thing to do is fish the Brazos river. I only fish warm water for bass. I love your channel. Prayers for Oklahoma. God bless you!!

[@wesleyfreeman8161]

Pretty cool seeing you wrightpatman today. It is fishing pretty tough right now hope you done well! Don't worry about disappointing your fans in the opens just have fun

[@rhondalyn100]

I love the back stories...where you fish, how you get there, your feelings about the tournament at hand. Yes, I love watching you fish as well, but watching your journey from your point of view from A to Z is what I find fascinating. Best wishes for this next new chapter of your life. 🙂

[@kristinefischer2289]

Will continue to log those experiences for y’all :)

[@user-kj8ph6qi2d]

Kristine- I know there are a bunch of comments with great recommendations for goals as you asked. First deep respect for what you are doing- keep being real! As the father of two grown daughters my military career and frequent travel prevented any serious fishing as they were growing up. I am taking a different approach with my grandkids. As able, I am exposing them to fishing and love of the outdoors. For the fall and Hartwell: work on boat handling skills and confidence. You have the fishing skill, just build ability to keep boat control. Second a limit each day is a notable achievement and worthy accomplishment. Proud of you and your focus on the important things (God first, family, country…fishing)

[@ericmiller7181]

You are doing it All good

[@dawnparker2014]

Kristine, don't worry about letting anyone down. You have your goal. Your fans absolutely understand the pressure you will be under. I personally, as a woman angler, totally support you. I would love to be able to just fish local tournaments and hope to next year. My husband and I just ordered the Ranger. Can't wait to get it. I grew up saltwater fishing. I have piloted everything from a 10 foot john boat to a 46 Hatteras. We have had a bass boat for 3 years and I'm still getting used to how to hit wakes, waves, etc and how much the wind affects the boat. Take your boat out as much as possible. Become one with your boat. Learn how she reacts to everything. That gives you the confidence to get where you need to go. Ok, enough bla bla bla....so out there girl! Do what Kristine does best!

[@MrBdogg317]

It’s a grind but I have faith in you. Claim it and get it. Much respect

[@Freedomfishingtuglife]

Great job on the wrap on your boat #TugLife.

[@lrparrish227]

I am also a seasoned boat owner of a ranger Z520 and absolutely love that boat. It is a beast in the water. Definitely invest in the lifepo batteries it will get up and rock on the water. I dont know yet which boat you purchased but you will love it I am sure of that. Good luck and best fishing tight lines.

[@garysfishtales]

What I like about you is you're a realist. No one can come in the $ all the time. The 2 rules are that someone has to come in 1st and someone has to come in last. Just have fun, enjoy the journey. You won't let anyone down.

[@paulbeasley1296]

Congrats

[@LeahsHooked]

Kristine, you being YOU is what we’re all here for! You’re so unbelievably real which is why I literally watched all your videos when I started hardcore fishing 1.5yr ago. It was so hard to find women who weren’t fishing in a swimsuit or 20yr old boys screaming LETS GO 😂 I went from 20+ yrs of being REALLLY sick with autoimmune issues etc. to now fishing 3 weeks out of every month from shore or kayak and starting my own YT with the encouragement of my husband and teenage son. It has given me the life I never knew I needed ❤ So THANK YOU for being yourself and showing us the good and the bad. I have learned so much from you, not just in your fishing skills, but how to navigate my way in a sport dominated by men. You will continue to inspire. Please don’t worry about failing your viewers, we will love you and stick with you no matter the outcome

[@fly_yaker]

I look forward to seeing your Bass boat experiences. Regarding your videos, just keep doing what you’ve been doing as a kayak angler. You are still You, whether in a kayak or boat and everybody who watches, loves you 😊✌️.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thank you 🥹

[@nazmorgan8696]

I love your Chanel with the kayak. It would be very interesting to hear what you think the biggest differences between the kayak game and the boat. Thanks for very good videos

[@Gaddmans.Garden]

You are inspiring to say the least! Do what you do! No pressure… Keep it real, keep it fun, keep it safe!!!! You are a jewel! Continue to post a few?…yak vids when time available! Would still like to see how you prefish and prepare for each boat tournament! Again do YOU!🤠👏🙏

[@tatehay3381]

Just be real like you always are on your videos. Been watching you for a long time your content is awesome. Don’t worry about failing. Can’t hit a Homerun if you don’t get out of the dugout and step up to the plate.

[@melissaheck8235]

I would love to see the behind the scenes. What intimidates me the most is taking the boat out without my brother or dad. Watching you travel and launch on your own would be so helpful. You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for all you do!

[@kristinefischer2289]

Coming soon girl! Thank you!! ❤️👊🏻

[@marqueandbrandon3249]

Don’t hide the struggles. Newcomers need to see what’s expected when taking a big step like this. Keep up the awesome work! Rooting for you!

[@goblue3090]

[@garymueller6488]

I want to see you enjoy yourself and take us on the full journey of your pursuit. Best wishes girl.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thank you! Will do!

[@bcallisjr]

I applaud you for taking this huge step! Just keep doing you. That is what got you to where you are. The journey is what we want to see. This will show other female anglers what to expect in their journey. Something to think about will come up is going to the restroom while a stranger is in the boat. And turn the trolling motor down to where it doesn't throw you out. But I still forget and almost get thrown out.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thanks Bruce!!!

[@MrCaissed]

Hi Kristine, my daughters use to fish, but both have baby daughters and they will be getting their moms fishing poles! They’re not Barbie poles that are pink and fall apart but real poles with open faced reels. I hold onto your videos and play them for my granddaughters. 1 is 3, 5 months, and 15 days old and my wife laughs at me because they’re so young but hey I’m taking them and I think it’s time for the sport to grow! Don’t know why it’s taken so long!!

[@bwoneymaddic446]

I'm a paddling, female angler and so I'm a little sad to see you step into a bigger boat. However, you have to live your life and I'll keep living my paddling life. I'll still watch your videos and cheer your successes and commiserate through your struggles. The beauty of a small boat is that I get to fish water that bass boats can never reach. I don't fish water with concrete ramps. I do launch at a couple dirt ramps, but no bass boat could be launched at them. So, whereas I don't have FFS and a mighty motor, I reach bass the big boats can't reach. Anyway, I'm one of your fangirls, whether you're in a little boat or a big one, because we both love bass. And I'm glad you'll still be kayaking. I'm a canoeist today, but have kayaked literal thousands of miles in my paddling life.

[@rednissan96]

Don't fret, you won't let us down. We all know what a knowledgeable angler you are and this is definitely a jump forward. I wish you the best and I've said it many times.. I'll always be in your corner. As for me personally, I'd like to have some teaching videos. I've fished for 45 plus years but we all still learn something new almost daily.❤

[@kristinefischer2289]

You got it. My last video I did some good frog tips

[@julienichols5460]

Don't worry about letting us down! You are amazing and fun to watch! As a beginner, I would be interested in knowing what to look for in a boat, how to fish different lures, and the conditions for the lures. Someone told me to get a deep V boat but so many people don't have deep Vs, so what are the advantages and disadvantages of each. Thanks!! Good Luck!!

[@todddavidson5012]

[@aldrede.hatfieldjr.4597]

Here’s wishing you all the best. A video I’d like to see done is choosing that first bass boat, in particular a used one. If you’re ever in South Carolina and need someone to fish with hit me up if I’m available I’d like to fish with you.

[@rickperlstein9988]

This is national news. You are a hero. As for what to focus on, the more you show us how BASCAR works behind the scenes, the more fascinating it will be, for me at least.

[@bobbolieu9013]

I want you to treat the boat the same as you have been doing with your kayak. You are very transparent about every experience, rough and smooth alike, giving us the full picture of how it is to fish from a kayak. Fishing a boat is very different from fishing from a kayak, just as it is to fush from the shore. You know this from your life. I say this for two reasons: first is so that you know that I have reasonable expectations with you; secondly, so that other folks who take the time to read this can understand that each fishing platform is different, yes fishing is fishing, but presentation makes a huge difference and each platform presents differently. I think for the future female anglers, and yes us male anglers, it would be very hellful to see and hear of the different areas that all anglers have to deal with. We need to know that there is a lot to it besides buying tackle, boats and tow vehicles. There are many cost associated with each tournament. Every aspect of fishing. We would also do you a great amount of granting you respect by remembering that it's called fishing not catching. Catching is that seldom achieved result that comes from a tremendous amount of focus, effort, time and support. In between there is 100 times more fishing.

[@prh-kentucky1929]

I like seeing & understanding all aspects of someone trying to work through the opens- both on the water & all the prep, practice, sponsorship, travel, cost, & “taking their lunch money!” lol

[@juliestutzman811]

I’d love to see more videos on techniques. Not meaning like which baits your using but more so teaching these upcoming anglers how to skip, pitch, rig up their kayak, what to look for etc. just teaching period. Your videos are inspiring I love your passion and your ambition. Your motivation is contagious. Never stop the yak videos though lol

[@haroldrogers6566]

Just be you Twinkle Toes. I’ve been fishing out of a boat for 50 years. You’re not gonna have my hard earned knowledge in two years. The main thing is be careful a be safe. If in doubt, don’t!! Your fishing will be fine. And your frog and flipping hook sets will greatly improve in the boat over the kayak. Can’t wait to see your progress there. You’ll do fine with the knowledge you already have Kristine. Good luck and good catching 😁👍💯

[@Wilford_j]

good luck

[@SevenOaksOutdoors]

You will never let your real fans down! Just do your thing!

[@jeffboswell68]

You're doing exactly what you need to be doing! Showing the in's and out's of converting from kayak to boat. Let me tell you, you're doing it the right way. I'm going from 25 yrs of tourney fishing, to kayak. I've seen you set the hook, on a 6+ pounder, STANDING UP in kayak! You have the dexterity to control the trolling motor. Just lean slightly in the direction you have it pointed. The rest will come naturally. Looking forward to following your journey!

[@kristinefischer2289]

Oh that’s so cool, going to a kayak from a boat!!!

[@KatelynFoskey-HIK9]

I’m a female and I have a skeeter bass boat and a kayak peddle drive rigged up with a torqeedo and my heart will always be with kayak fishing. However getting my boat was a huge thing for me. It’s always been a goal and I know NO other females that are in competitive fishing. I’d love to see it more. I love your videos and you inspire me.

[@SimplyFishing]

I think it will be interesting to see how you approach practice on the boat side verses how we have seen you practice on the yak side. Personally, practicing and staying focused is the hardest thing for me. Following and wishing you well.

[@raywioskowski1089]

I think that you will do very well in a boat just take your time

[@joeynovoa4943]

I'm interested in seeing you take it to the competition. Definitely would be into seeing the journey as well. You got this 🙏🥃💯🤙🏽

[@Sean9.8]

You had mentioned in your last video about trying to keep the trolling motor and livescope “together” for lack of a better word, while dealing with wind and whatnot. I would recommend getting in the boat with one of these young guns and get on the front deck and just watch and learn. It’s a lot harder than what most people think. Keep doing you and I’ll be along for the ride .

[@kristinefischer2289]

Definitely going to try to do that

[@toddbrauselling]

Keep your head up. No doubt you’ll get this! Hope I can meet you at a tournament someday in Minnesota or Wisconsin!

"Win loose no matter. You make good fight, earn respect. Then nobody bother" - Mr Miyagi ... Best of luck Kristine. No pressure, just love and support!

[@davidmcnairn1015]

I found you on the tube kayak fishing. because I'm a kayak fisherman, good luck.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Don’t worry I’ll never stop kayak fishing!!! It’s a big part of what I do and who I am!

[@lisaa.powell3634]

😂 dont worry about letting others down. We want to see real life! All the ups and downs. Safety, safety, safety first goal! Remember you will be in a high speed boat, traveling unfamilar waters. In my distant past, I've been in 2 different boats with men who lived on the lake and knew it well, but some how we ran up on sand bars. Please be careful. Your knowledge and techniques will bring in the fish, not worried about that. Practice getting familar with that boat, stay safe and have fun. You'll be the first athlete I'll follow in all sports. Gonna try to make it to Hartwell in Oct, since it is 2 hrs away. Looking forward to it!

I want to thank you. You helped me gain confidence on finishing in a kayak. WAY TO GO to jumping into a boat. Do you have any suggestions on fishing lures for starting out I have mainly fish with live and want to get into lures

[@geraldkoth654]

Lots of folks have wishes, as the old saw says, if wishes were horses paupers would ride. You seem to have a vision, and are willing to put it all on the line to make that vision come true. The best is you are trying to help others. Wisdom of the ages says that we are truly happy when we help others. Anyone who works day in and day out is helping someone somehow. Realizing that makes our jobs fulfilling not a grind. Content should be what is exciting to you on a day to day basis. We get the best insights from that.

I think you stated purpose is really on target! Behind the scenes would really be great! There is so much that goes into any given tournament. The commitment level for the grind should be highlighted, for sure. I think people will also be interested in how much a difference there is catching fish from the boat as opposed to the kayak! Is access to water different out of the boat? Waiting for the journey to begin and the videos of you learning the boat! 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@kristinefischer2289]

I will try and start to do some behind the scenes at these tournaments 🙌

[@reelfishin6019]

My expectation of you is to never quit fishing and to share your experiences on the water on KZbin. Your a blessing. God Bless

[@kristinefischer2289]

Appreciate you dude. God bless

[@yrdGBA]

Dont worry about anything but you, focus on your fishing and everything else will fall into place. you will be FINE! you already have a good positive position on what to expect. Just Fish! Tight Lines Girl

[@kristinefischer2289]

I appreciate that!

[@samuelschult985]

Goals for Hartwell in October, start getting to now the lake before the off-limits, plain and simple 👍

[@kristinefischer2289]

Ugh I don’t have much of a chance to do that, wish I did

[@Basspundit]

A limit each day and finishing in the Top 50 should be your goals for every Open you fish. Doing those two things will put you in the conversation in a good way. Good Luck!

[@amyb9486]

I am an adult woman around your age. I have fished my whole life. Mainly boats. When I found you over a year ago, I was amazed! I found another woman close to my age with the same passion, but you are on a way greater level than I will ever be! Your values, love of your family, and positive attitude make me your biggest fan! You are such a wonderful influence for women, girls, kids. Even my fiancé' loves your stuff! Gerald Swindle is one of my favorite pro anglers. He is so positive and a good guy. He may not win all the time but he is positive and balanced in faith and family! I think you can be the female version of him! The good Lord is definitely giving you a platform to make a wonderful impact on people's lives. I am praying and cheering you every step of the way!

[@kristinefischer2289]

Amy this comment made my day!! I hope to get to meet you one day!

[@migesfishing7736]

I expect a classic win … get to it young lady 😁🤙🏼

[@kristinefischer2289]

Oh boy 😬 Ok Ok ill have you one in two year ;)

[@lilbugr1462]

Just do the same thing as you do on the kayak. Have fun, Learn new stuff and keep smiling. I think you mentioned you were having issues with livescope on the boat. Check out TJ over at Kayak USA, he hated having his transducer on the trolling motor so switched out to separate mount. Did a video on it a couple weeks back. I don't bass fish (don't have them here in Alberta, Canada) but I love watching you get excited when you hook into a biggin' .

[@BrettCrowther]

Man or woman, you’ve accomplished more than most can ever dream of. Best of luck on your future.

[@kristinefischer2289]

Thanks so much!

[@lynetterussellpfefferle5594]

Just disec the lake like you did during kayak fishing. Just because you can go farther in boat doesn't mean you have too, you just have that option. Good luck will be following your tournaments .

[@kristinefischer2289]

Good point! I think that kayak fishing will really help me in the boat, because of this!! Knowing how to really work an area!!

[@ChrisOwen90]

Your not gonna let anyone down this is your channel do you

[@user-hs7gr1yq4h]

We love everything Kristen! Keep up the great work. We need more woman in fishing.❤
