I used a thin tip black sharpie to mark my 1/4 & 1/2" marks. 3/8th Dow rods on the bottom side grooves not only make it stronger but it will float. Tight lines and love your videos , your very positive and easy to listen to
Lots of great info right there. I am a big fan of the catch, photo, and release format. The technology is readily available to implement this in all tournaments.
Thanks SO much for this video. I have fished surf fishing tournaments in the past and I am excited to get my first kayak soon for my 50th birthday. After I put some time into fishing on it, I am DEFINETLY going to start in on the local scene here in Delaware.
Thank you for putting out information like this. I’ve just started not just kayaking but kayak fishing around 2 months ago. I jumped head first into it and fished my first tournament at the end of June with North Alabama Kayak Anglers. I was lucky enough to find ppl involved to bombard with questions. I had a slow start but absolutely fell in love with it. I have another tournament next month but have it in my head to try my hand at the KBF or another more structured series. I have a lot to learn and things to purchase before but it’s gonna happen. Keep doing what you do . Thanks
Great video. This will be my second year with our local club. Never thought I would enjoy fishing on a competitive level but it’s added a new aspect to fishing. It also drives me to get out more.
Thanks for the tips in this video, I know it is an older video, but some great information in this video. I plan to join a trail for 2024,. See you out there and keep up the fun videos mam. Dale
I just wanted to let you know that you truly are an inspiration to us female anglers! Been fishing for 30 years but just recently started to become an obsession! Bought my first bait caster this year and hopefully next season hope to start in some local tourneys!! Thank you for all of your tips, tricks and great videos!! Come up to Lake Simcoe in Ontario Canada for some world class ice fishing!!
Okay... fished about 5, or 6 tournaments so far (including the OKBT on St. Clair you were at) and this is the first time I've heard the number (finger) picture tip... great idea, thanks. Best of luck the rest of your season. :)
Great info! Met a guy at my dock last year that was in a yak tourney and wondered then about the ins and outs of this craziness. LOL He was pretty focused so I didn't ask a crap ton of questions but thought it was pretty cool. Really like the catch and release format.
You are the real deal angler and very informative, would love to see more vids showing how you rig your lines and baits for different water conditions, temps, and time of year. The bass in South Georgia can be crazy picky.
Great video enjoyed seeing you place well in my back yard on St.Clair. Awesome! I'm heading to the big dance in Arkansas. Hope to meet you on the water sometime keep up the good work!
Got my first kayak early this past spring so I think after a full season of fishing in it, I feel experienced and comfortable enough to maybe do some tournaments in 2020
I see the KBF has motors I have torn off both my biceps in my younger years so guess IT WOULD BE KBF FOR ME I dont own a HOBO Cant wait for next season will have my RV and my YAK all done just need to find a series in Colorado
Yes totally agree with the photo process. I have had 20 plus inch Bass DQ’ed because of my poor photo taking!! One was because my pinky was under gill!
@@kristinefischer2289 That's not good. I hope you get better for the tournament. Not sure what your go-to feel better is but Honey and lemon tea is mine. Hot or cold and as much as I can drink. Let your body flush the demons out. Hope you feel better.
Fan-BASS-tic advice! I’m no tournament fisherman, but your comments are still useful! I’m getting a Hobie PA 12 360 soon. Any advice re the rod lockers on the Hobie? Best of luck in 2020! Roger, The Smiling BassHole
I am fishing my first in may! I am so siked! Just got me an autopilot 136. I made the VA state team and made it to the regional championship. Maybe I can do something awesome in yak tourneys.
LoL! I was out yesterday and a guy rolled his yak. The first thing he said, " My phone!!!". Then he was telling his friend that he also lost hos rod n reel he had with him....and a shoe. I have everything either tethered or floatable. My phone is in a waterproof, floatable, thethered pouch attachedbto my chair.
Kristine, I like all of your tips, especially the phone one. I have been nerved the past couple of years when on the water either shore fishing or in a boat. I like to document my catches to share with my fishy friends and have felt like you said it was a matter of time before i dropped my phone. What retention system do you use. I would have liked it if you showed it. A couple of videos including yours have referred to using a retention system but I was lost as to what that really means and what works. I can google or do an Amazon search but I am not sure what works. I don’t want to buy something and find out the hard way it does not work. One video stated the dry bags do not allow you to take a good enough picture in spite of their claim otherwise and you wind up taking the phone out of the bag anyway.
Thank you! - so I use a long tether that i attach to my life proof case which attaches to a carabeaner on my life vest. It was a DIY deal but works great!
I bought a Pelican Catch 100 PWR (not good for rowing) what about trolling motors and tournament fishing? I know this is a controversial subject. Is there hope for my Catch 100? Thx for giving back God Bless your effort.
@@kristinefischer2289 Thanks for the quick answer ...... shame as there are Rainbows in just about any lake in the Mat-su Valley central AK ..... but sadly no bass ...... used to bass fish tourney's years ago in Florida but out of a bass boat ..... Kayaks look like a lot of fun .... may have to try one .... thanks again and you have a super site thanks for all your hard work .... btw ..... my ex used to fish the bass tourney's right along with me .... I have a lot of admiration and respect for lady anglers .....
Rogue fishing has a nice tether set up for phones. I just got mine last week, worked great, not to mention that ease on the nerves of just knowing that sooner or later, that phone is going for a swim. I saw it on the KBF channel.
Bungalobob, I assume you got the Protector? I read several reviews re this style of tether device, some were mixed. I went with the Phone Lasso. If anyone buys this, attach the pad to the phone not the case. You get two pads per. I am on my second week with it and like it so far. I suspect it will be good for one season then wear out. For $15 cheap insurance for an expensive item. Bungalobob please keep us updated on how the Protector works for you over time.
Hello Kristine, I met G today @ Mariner - Sails in Dallas. I purchased a Hobie PA14 360, G put his seal of approval on it. G is a very nice guy, no matter what you says out him😁🦨. We both got busy and I wanted to ask him what River in N. Texas you guys went play fishing and camping on.. I live in KERRVILLE Kerrville, Texas wanted to take me and my new Mr. Yak fishing and get familiar with my new toy.
I used a thin tip black sharpie to mark my 1/4 & 1/2" marks. 3/8th Dow rods on the bottom side grooves not only make it stronger but it will float. Tight lines and love your videos , your very positive and easy to listen to

Agreed, so good for the future of our fisheries !
Yeah Kayak Bass fishing has been blowing up indeed these last 3 years . Good information for those who doesn't already know ☺ Great Video 😉🤙
Thank you !! It is growing!
Thanks SO much for this video. I have fished surf fishing tournaments in the past and I am excited to get my first kayak soon for my 50th birthday. After I put some time into fishing on it, I am DEFINETLY going to start in on the local scene here in Delaware.
You go girl it's good to see a woman such as yourself in tournaments keep up the good work
Thank you, hoping to see more and more women competing
Good video. Great tip on putting up a number between fish. I always took a pic of my board but never put a number to it.
It’s helped me keep fish together

Thank you so much! I encourage you to try the tourneys! It’s such a great community! I fish Ontario often!
I bought a hobie pa 14 today thank you for sharing your knowledge thank you again
Can’t wait to get my first yak this spring to finally be able to get into some tournaments.
Okay... fished about 5, or 6 tournaments so far (including the OKBT on St. Clair you were at) and this is the first time I've heard the number (finger) picture tip... great idea, thanks. Best of luck the rest of your season. :)
Don’t feel too bad.. took me two years to finally learn that 😂 it makes life so much easier !
I always took a "separator" pic between my fish, but the finger thing is a great idea. Definitely going to use that in my tourney this weekend.
Great info! Met a guy at my dock last year that was in a yak tourney and wondered then about the ins and outs of this craziness. LOL He was pretty focused so I didn't ask a crap ton of questions but thought it was pretty cool. Really like the catch and release format.
Great information thank you! Love your channel ! I just picked up a PA-14 guess I should go have some fun !
Ah good for you!! Love my PA!
Great info, as another had mentioned, putting that number up between fish is an excellent idea.
You are the real deal angler and very informative, would love to see more vids showing how you rig your lines and baits for different water conditions, temps, and time of year. The bass in South Georgia can be crazy picky.
"donate a cell to the lake"..gotta love the humor!
Darlin I’m on my THIRD 😂😂
I recently donated 2 beautiful lews rod and reel combos $400 worth ...needless to say I've invested in leash clamps ...
Preach, been there.
Love all this information & your channel lady 💓💗💓
Great video enjoyed seeing you place well in my back yard on St.Clair. Awesome! I'm heading to the big dance in Arkansas. Hope to meet you on the water sometime keep up the good work!
Ill see you there!
Covered it well Kristine. Thank you, it was just what I was looking for and didnt even known it .
Awesome, tried to
Provide a few random helpful tips
Very informative video. Thank you Kristine!
Great video, Kristine. Getting ready to stick my toe in! Best of luck on Kentucky. Watch out for those leaping carp!
The carp are wild... but the Shad population is thriving .. it’ll take a big bag to win this weekend best believe that!
Kristine Fischer I heard the bass fishing was good right now on Kentucky. You can do it! You’re on a roll!
Your awesome Miss Fischer!! I’m all new to this...bought 2 Brooklyn Kayaks petal Drive....I’m hooked!
Good for you!!! Enjoy!!!
Been fishing heavy at lake Isabella in calif....check it out if your out this way. Crappie, bass off the chart fun!!
Got my first kayak early this past spring so I think after a full season of fishing in it, I feel experienced and comfortable enough to maybe do some tournaments in 2020
Awesome! Hope to see you on the water!
Kristine Fischer Chikamauga can be intimidating with all the hype around it currently 😳😅
I see the KBF has motors I have torn off both my biceps in my younger years so guess IT WOULD BE KBF FOR ME I dont own a HOBO
Cant wait for next season will have my RV and my YAK all done just need to find a series in Colorado
Thank you for the info. I’m saving up for my first fishing kayak. Coming from a small bass boat. I’m excited to get into kayak tournaments.
Good info, I'm just getting into kayak fishing this year. Just having fun with it for now. But I can see tournament fishing in my future.
It’s addicting- and so rewarding!
Yes totally agree with the photo process. I have had 20 plus inch Bass DQ’ed because of my poor photo taking!! One was because my pinky was under gill!
The reference photos...great advice!
Good luck on Kentucky Lake. Pre Hydrate while you pre-fish. Going to be a hot one.
Currently in doctors office... been sick all week and getting worse :(
@@kristinefischer2289 That's not good. I hope you get better for the tournament. Not sure what your go-to feel better is but Honey and lemon tea is mine. Hot or cold and as much as I can drink. Let your body flush the demons out. Hope you feel better.
Good luck , enjoy all your videos.
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I like the picture of the empty board to separate the fish. That'll make it easy.
That’s helped me tremendously
good info Kristine nice job covering things.
Thanks for watching !
@@kristinefischer2289 you are welcome keep it up and keep crushing those fish!
Fan-BASS-tic advice!
I’m no tournament fisherman, but your comments are still useful!
I’m getting a Hobie PA 12 360 soon. Any advice re the rod lockers on the Hobie?
Best of luck in 2020!

Great video... Good luck in Kentucky on Kentucky Lake...
Thank you! I’ll give it my all

TourneyX has a pretty cool platform for kayak tournaments. Some are fish on your own time which is great.
Love tourneyx - Dwayne is a good friend of mine
I love your videos. I follow you from Argentina. Regards
Thank you 🙏
Great info Kristine!

Cheers from California...

Thank you so much your info was great!
First time seeing your channel. Great fresh water fishing. Ever saltwater fish?
Yes I do! Love the salt, would like to do it more often
This is great, thanks!!
You bet!!
You are so cool😎🎣👍🏼
Nah... closet nerd ;)
If you come back to South Carolina can help you with any lakes I am a kayak bass man
Kristine, if you don't have a trolling motor or pedal drive, are you at a disadvantage in a grass roots kayak tournament?
GOOD ADVICE. Thanks
Thank you for watching
@@kristinefischer2289. My pleasure
Crushing it ✌️
have never toying with the idea to get in the bassmaster?
I have watched several of your videos. Thank you for sharing. Also, what kind of net do you use?
Thank you! I use a plain ol bass pro shops net with a long handle. It was about $29

Use a black sharpie and highligh the lines and numbers on you fish board to better see the measurements.
On my board I do, I was showing a brand new Board for the video because mine is NASTY from all the tourneys!
I bought a Pelican Catch 100 PWR (not good for rowing) what about trolling motors and tournament fishing? I know this is a controversial subject. Is there hope for my Catch 100? Thx for giving back God Bless your effort.
GOOD LUCK on Kentucky lake
I’m feeling very under the weather, hoping to get a little rest and feel up to practice tomorrow
@@kristinefischer2289 I'm so sorry hopefully a good night's sleep will help you. Lol. At least you are not in Arizona
Do you send every fish in or just your best 5
Great info. Thanks!
QQ, how do they prevent anglers from submitting pictures for the same fish?
Are there any KBF trails in Nebraska that you might know of? I live in Nebraska and would love to get into this.
Are there any tourney's in Alaska ....... sorry I don't facebook ... thanks
Honestly not to my knowledge :(
@@kristinefischer2289 Thanks for the quick answer ...... shame as there are Rainbows in just about any lake in the Mat-su Valley central AK ..... but sadly no bass ...... used to bass fish tourney's years ago in Florida but out of a bass boat .....

Try California... It's tough.
I’ve heard... I think I’ll stick to the south 😂
What are the rules regarding how the kayak moves. Paddle, motor, peddle
Depends on the tournament.
How do you attach to the case. I looked at their cases on line and I cant find anything to attach to?
I used gorilla glue and attached a tab to hook a feather to. Some cases have an area on the corner built in already - I think otter does
Rogue fishing has a nice tether set up for phones. I just got mine last week, worked great, not to mention that ease on the nerves of just knowing that sooner or later, that phone is going for a swim. I saw it on the KBF channel.
