- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- We are back on the beautiful susquehanna river!! My absolute favorite kayak bass fishing destination, a true power fishermans dream, for big angry river smallmouth bass! This tournament is going to be a lot of fun, because it'll be my first one fishing off of the Hobie Fishing I Trek 11! I had an incredible practice- and I treat this week like a vacation. I have two solid patterns going, let's see if they hold up against 192 of the nations best anglers! Links to the gear I used below!
Key baits - (Ill upload my full list of gear used on the day 2 video! ) Thanks for the patience!
Berkley 120 choppo - amzn.to/3oPYX7K
Thats the river I yak fished for the first time. Been an addict ever since. I enjoy your content.
Floated the river two weeks ago for catfish and fished for bass to make the time go by caught a nice 18” and saw a huge bass at the base of a tree in the water below Hoovers island
Absolutely love your determination and drive! Keep grinding!
Anxiously awaiting day 2! Watching from Austin but was raised on the Susquehanna river.
Pennsylvania, fished it in Clearfield County and caught some nice Smallies, and Rock Bass(AKA) Red Eye!
You look so natural out there your fishing skills are just amazing to watch I love watching and learning what you do out there thank you for sharing God bless and take care and keep bringing it
Great to see you fishing the Susquehanna, such a nice place for smallmouth, love your vids, brings me joy to watch them, please keep them coming!!!
I grew up in susquehanna pa muskie took over the river up there the smallies were food for the apex river predator. Not the case in the lower end of the susquehanna. Last june a day trip from windsor ny too redrock was a epic muskie trip. Things have changed since the dam at susquehanna broke .
you go girl. Its fun to watch somebody do something they are good at and love it.
Been missing ya Christine. Miss your enthusiasm and shear joy of doing what you love. Hope your doing well
Wishing you luck. You always find a way!
Love it! A little AC/DC in the middle of another super cool video of you kicking tail!! Keep up the awesome content and best of luck in all your tourneys!
Thanks John!
Best one Wooow superb fish and superb fishing 🎣🐟🐟🐟
👊🏻♥️
great video, everyone arounf the country knew this was going to be one of the best events this year. great showing. Love that wake bait, i mod a tail on the end with a trick worm to draw the big girls out
That’s a great idea!
Best plans rarely work out. Keep at it and you will prevail!
That’s right.
Missed seeing you. You did not seem yourself without Your boat. Keep going girl. Tight lines...
It was weird not fishing out of it!
Pretty good day all in all. That last 16 1/2 incher was just mean..lol Being on the water like you do when your there to watch the world wake up is one of the best parts of the day for me.
My favorite part too!! I would have sworn that last fish was a 19 plus 😂😂
Ok…PLEASE, PLEASE can you contact the company and ask them to let you do a demo video with what happens when a hook gets stuck in the raft?
I’m a disabled veteran and the inflatable kayak looks to be the best option for my physical limitations but I am 1000% never gonna commit until I see a real world test.
Thank you for another inspirational video, I am still nervous for you from that day you posted that alligator chasing you?! Ain’t no way you would ever see me back there without a bigger boat!!

UA-cam taught fishermen!
Can't wait to catch up on some of your videos and watch new ones from Hobie Worlds while I heal up from ACL surgery. Good luck in Sweeden with Ron and Brandon. Hope to see yall at at least one VOS event next season when my knee is healed up.
Great video, that is one big and beautiful river!
Yes it is!!! Every angler should try to come fish here
great video Kristine, You know the fish are big when you have to chase them down.
Kristine….you are awesome!! I was trying to do something similar…..though i didnt do it nearly as precise or clinical……i didnt mark out the spots, and accidentally spooked my fish cuz i couldnt remember if that was a spot; and an unforseen issue happened……..other kayakers blew right past some of my good areas as i was approaching and spooked my big fish. I caught a ton of little fish, and a couple good ones.
I was using the rapala brat squarebill in the moss craw color…..I bought like 7 of them; they loved that thing, but i lost a couple fish before i got smart and swapped the hooks to duo realis nano hooks. Then never had an issue, those hooks actually went THROUGH bone on a fish and i had to use pliers on every one after that.
I just didnt fish very clean or smart, and u gotta do both against this field. In the end, my big fish came at very end of day on a full hail mary bait i hadnt thrown at all during practice. sneaking back up to areas i spooked them hours before and throwing a berkley j-walker. Walk it a few times, pause…..explosion.
At least i remembered my pfd this time though…..lol.
Congrats on cashing a check and getting those points!!!!
The j Walker!!! Way to come back after it! I learned once you spook a fish, they will come back ! Good on you Dave!
Wishing you the best of luck. Hope you get them all in the kayak!!!
Great fishing Kristine! My wife and I are planning to fish from our Hobie kayaks on the Susquehanna this weekend. We hope to replicate some of your success. Good luck in your next tournament.
Gosh darnit Kristine! I've been binge watching your videos and came across one where you talked about a case in which you put your go pro camera so you can remove the battery and plug it into a power supply and it doesn't overheat. For the life of me I cannot find that video again or the slip of paper I wrote it down on. Thanks for your help.
Awesome video! Great job catching those bass, it looks like a lot of fun!
OMG I screamed out loud
It's always good when I see you hopping around on your Yak. I look like a scared dog getting in and out of mine and you're all over yours
Haha same I'm so scared to grab the fish in mine I might tip ! 😅
I'm loving all your fishing adventures ❤️
Thank you!
@@kristinefischer2289 you're welcome 😊
That’s place is on my hit list! You did great! I know it wasn’t what you wanted but…you kept it together. Well done 🔨🔨🔨
Thanks mark!!
Hey gorgeous, nice and calm waters great fish!❤
Get it girl! Love seeing a females kicking ass. Lived around Susquehanna my whole life. Pretty awesome. Glad to see you killing it. 🤙
Thank you!!!
The smallmouth walleye capital of the north east! One of my favorites, I live on the Delaware which is a steeper smaller version of the susqy.
We have been seeing the big ones in shallow moving flats between 2 sets of rapids, same with the eyes. Nothing has been using eddy lines at all, exceptions of first and last light. The smaller numbers are coming out of the fast wash.
The rule for PA during the HOT is fast moving craw actions. If they dont bite they aint there.
Yep! Lots of big fish out on the slower moving flats! That was a pattern of mine you’ll see in day two
Come to Lake Erie if you want to fish the REAL bronze and walleye capital of the WORLD.
That's my home river I fish it all the time . River running very low and clear. But still good fishing. I was pulling🙏 for you to win the tournament.
Live in new Cumberland pa and I struggle so hard on the Susquehanna but as soon as I go back to VA or the Carolinas I have no problem
Ever notice it’s always the big fish that get away! Nice job getting to twelfth with that day!
Thanks chris!
The Sus is the jewel of PA! I am on west branch and sadly the dnr haven’t yet instituted the catch and release..
It’s such an amazing fishery!!
You’re so awesome!!
I’m always pulling for you!!
Go get 'em!
Keep at it
My heart swells watching you ... not many women ... almost have tears! Alive and Fishin'
Wow awesome 💯💯💯
Thumbs up 13th great video Thanks
Been slaying the 18-21" smallies on a black and green popper for the last two weeks. Only problem is I am way up river in Vestal NY on the Susquehanna River.
Loved the video Miss Kristen
Thanks for watching as always !
This was exactly what I needed before I fish the Championship Copple Cup in the Napra pro wading league. Thank you for the content my sister and fellow Angler God Bless you and yours🙏🙏🙏💙🙏🙏🙏👋🙌🤺🎣🐟.
God bless and good luck!!
Loved this video! That place looks beautiful!
Would love to more about the yak you were cruising, looked comfy....and I am hoping portable on the fly (somewhat). But impressed with your slayer skills!
Awesome shortlisted!
You may have hit the panic button but it saved the day.
Day 1 was an actual cluster 😂😂
I have a lucky hat also. 😆
Mines in every single tourney vid 😂
Solid 💪
Wooohooo!! Let’s goooooo!
Hey lady hey!
Good luck 🙏🏻 u rock
Need a good day 2 ;)
I know you can win this keep your head in the game and keep casting
Excelente buenas capturas
Nice!
Perhaps anchor when you hook up so you don't get dragged into the spot that could have held multiple fish?
Great video. Need to get yourself a micro power pole so you don't get pulled into your spot after you hook a fish.
Agreed
Stick to fishing, I don't think AC/DC'll be calling you up for vocals, anytime soon. 😆
Super-shallow. That I-trek was worth it's weight in gold, I'd say.
😂😂 I’m still holding out for a music career
Great job. Next time should be better.
Hey it was still a good day, just hoped for a little better b
Another productive session. Great video. Would love to be a fly on the wall when Darren spots that double handle setup mate! Has he and and are you still talking
Lately for day such as that one. Being larger muscled I get gased out too quickly in warm sunshine like that. And just eventually collapse. I did some initial research on good natural sources of electrolytes. For example, breakfast, supper and stuff that's very compact to carry (dried apricot, or a small quantity of sun flower seed).
For breakfast, I came up with avacado mashed with a fork together with banana. And some yogurt with blueberry mixed in. Put on toast or a fresh crusty roll. For evening, boiled spinach and things are super easy, and replace electrolytes lost. Almonds and even peanuts are good apparently. For on the move (all good in situations where I'm forced to drink a lot of water and I sweat a lot of those electrolyte trace elements out through pores of skin). A few small fresh tomatoes are easy to wash, and have on the go. Even high cocoa content 'sour' tasting dark choclate works too. To help the electrolyte imbalance.
It's something you'll have to do your homework in. These are only creative suggestions, that might work on the tournament fishing constrained time thing. You're carrying a lot less weight than I would (years ago when I cycled to work, I was slimmer). When you 'run and gun' in that way. My hunch is though, the shock treatment on the electrolytes balance from day one. Might be just enough to cancel you out day two. So it's essential one gets creative on this dimension. Lastly, people have all mentioned the soft drinks intended for the purpose. And there are also some excellent ones now. Where people carry the small packets to dissolve in water. In hotter countries like France they use there. In the British Isles though, we're unaccustomed to any heat at all (it is mainly, a lack of heat problem). That might even increase this winter. Cities in German cities turn off electrical lights at night right now. So they have enough power generation to keep the factories up and running.
Even a few years ago, this would have not been a concern. Altough back then, I had various fruit yogurt drinks and stuff. I used to get me through the middle of a day. Lately though, I've been wondering if there is a way. To go with mostly plain water. And small amounts of dried fruit and nuts that I can carry. Some have told me though, the problem with an electrolyte imbalance if it happens bad enough. Is the recovery time it takes, to get back from that point. Is not insignificant. I suspect that a lot of anglers are very well conditioned, and have natural in-built stamina. And to some extent I have that too. What I did notice, doing my large shrubbery garden and lawns this year. At the old home place. Each weekend, is that I could gauge the impact well. Of a few degrees increase in temperatures on performance of muscles and stamina (where a week previous in cooler temps I had no problem). You add those last few extra degrees. It went over a tipping point real fast. And how to prepare for that.
You reach some point in that, where water to drink alone. In enough quantities. Is not enough. We've never had that kind of heat here. But lately, it could get that way at times. And it's raised a whole lot of questions (both to do with getting older, and doing high performance stuff). As well as the neglect I would have had in knowledge. Of this subject anyway. When I played football years ago. It was recognized back then too (if we had to save our best players, for games close together in summer). We'd substitute them off the field. Ten minutes before the end. Or a whole half if needed. They didn't like it, but we knew they'd run themselves into oblivion. And not recover in time for the next games otherwise.
Fresh tomato, with sunflower seed. Really not that bad (acidity of tomato and the opposite of the dry seed). Not a bad mix. With Avacado and banana mix, I'm tempted to say a chunk or two of fresh, cold ice cream in there. Could work in summers too for the athlete. And lest I forget it, melon was a fruit and source of electrolytes. I had underestimated for years I think (melon is attached to the idea of desert and luxury a bit). In many parts of the world. But it's a genuine source of healthiness that can be useful too. For endurance and performance.
Thank You JESUS!
Bait ?
Was that a hybrid hunter you were throwing ?
Don't want to put you on blast - just reminded me
I love the vids and I really want to get into kayak bass tournaments I have a NU canoe frontier now but was wondering what kayak you have? Keep up the great work I have been watching for about a year and a half
Your regular kayak not your inflatable
Thank you!! My regular yak is a hobie PA 14 360
Did I see a Strike Pro Hunchback on that first fish?!
👀
Do you think the inflatable kayak kept you from getting those fish to the boat ? I would think you have less leverage than in a regular kayak.🤔
Hi Kristine...awesome video. One question...why the Hobie I-Trek11 inflatable rather than the Hobie Lynx ? Just curious about your thoughts on this choice.
Having fished from various inflatables early in my kayaking days I can attest to them being very quiet and stealthy in general, which I am guessing is what may have led you to this choice since you are fishing really skinny waters. Good luck in Sweden! We will be watching.
Hey Steve! I’m a big fan of the inflatable, and you said the main reason why- it is SO quiet and stealthy!
Lets go my sister and fellow Angler sincerely "The Dayton Metro Smallmouth Slayer"🙏🙏🙏💙🙏🙏🙏👋🙌🤺🎣🐟. Got to love the pitbull of bass🙏🙏🙏💙🙏🙏🙏👋🙌🤺🎣🐟.
Aye!!!
Nice job! I used to fish the "Sus" in the mid 90s, in Pennsylvania. What stretch were you all fishing?
Sunbury damn to Goldsboro we’re the tourney boundaries !
Cool video! I’m terrified of water but I want to get into kayak fishing. How are you identifying these spots as holding large fish?
Did you all switch up boats on day 2? I was talking to G at the ramp on the trek on day 2. Congrats!
We each had 1!
@@kristinefischer2289 awesome 👍
is that a Cajun wakebait?
Did u make a day 2 video?
where can i find the rules on those kayak fishing tourneys? I'd like to get in there, mix it up
Will you ever use googan baits
Where on the suski was this
Kristine, when do you think you'll have time to upload Day 2?
What was you favorite section of river to fish ?
Wait are you sight fishing some of these big fish??? I need to try that
👀 yes but in a weird way- not actually seeing the physical fish, but watching for sign of them. Tough to explain
@@kristinefischer2289 ok I was wondering anyway how you could sneak up on them .being that the susquehanna is super low and super clear right now. I guess I'll have to keep working on my river reading skills😑. On Sunday night me and my wife each got a 19.5 incher and i was feeling pretty proud but then you say you got a few over 20 in practice 😪
So, I find it very interesting that I won a mystery box, exchange texts with someone just to find out in the end I have to pay shipping. I am not sure this is Kristine doing this give away, as to give a gift and ask someone to pay shipping is not her style. Be aware of this.
A lot of people are getting scammed by these phony giveaways. NO ONE is going to require you to pay for a FREE giveaway.
@@jaysonelam8321 I really was hoping she was giving away that yak she was on....lol.
I got the same thing that I won some kind of gift from her but when I reached out to her I never got a response to see if it was really from her so I didn't even attempt to collect it be careful out there people will try to scam you
This chick is a stick!!!
Appreciate you!
@@kristinefischer2289 💯 Keep doing you. Congrats on the success!
The word biggin is so overused. Clearly you've caught many, but it just drives me nuts
Motors on kayaks = no interest for me yawn!
There are times you seem to be ungrateful!... you seem to try to add the fans into it, yet, YOU are the one screwing up. I like to watch you fish but you don't seem to appreciate the time you have to teach people. It's NOT all about you!
Ungrateful? Or frustrated. I’m a very competitive angler at heart, and it shows. I am 100 percent honest and transparent when I fish,
Through ups and down. That’s what’s most important to me. I won’t ever fake anything, including frustration with how I fish and mistakes that I make. I am not one bit ungrateful.
In life, in the moment, as much effort you put into fishing and the know how you do have, what fish bite and don't bite you have very little control over. When there is know one near you, you are going to catch all that is possible. The sport is not about "a trophy" but about how grateful one is to be able to be there in that moment that God allowed them to be. You being there is a sign of grace from God above, not the devil below. So, psychologically you compete with yourself, not with other people. You strive to be better then anyone else when youre already good at the sport. Thats pride!... But God wants one to be grateful and appreciative. As The Word says, "...pride before the fall." If you're going to be prideful, then there will be a great fall. Don't get mad at me... if you have faith in God, it's His Word that said that. Have pride in God, The One that allows you to do good in what you love.
...and the fish that he let's you catch. I am also a lover of the sport. I don't take it for granted. Much love and tight lines, K.
I try to just compete with me, do my best out there, and be better. Thank you for sharing
Kristine I've been following you for a few years and appreciate the effort you put into achieving what you have while keeping a humble and truthful attitude. People who fish can be harder on themselves because every bite is a chance to do everything correctly to land the fish. You may be competing with yourself however you may possibly just trying to be the best version of yourself that you may feel you can be. Stay calm in your head and trust your instincts. Keep your Mental Health awareness. ..Just be yourself. Love all you do to support the sport and the effort you make to share real truthful situations.
