The final tournament in the hobie bass open series takes us to lake pickwick, second week of september. This so happens to be the same time of year I won the KBF southeastern Regional championship two years ago!! (That video is on my channel!) So needless to say, I was STOKED for this one! However… with about 13 other bass boat tourneys going on both during the week and weekend, the lake was experiencing an unprecedented amount of pressure. I checked the area I won, and it was covered in boats. So when that fails, I usually just go up river and junk fish and see what happens. I would end up finding a VERY good pattern that produced giant largies AND smallies!!

Why do people fishing on the bank have to move because you say so because you are doing a tournament.not right they were there first
I live about 1/2 miles away from that park where you were fishing. One of my favorite places to fish. I have been fishing along that area for the past 50 years. Enjoy your videos keep up the good work. and good luck .
I bought my first kayak in 1976 I never would have guessed kayaking would have evolved in to this it's amazing how she's mastered casting her rods and reels.
Watching this season now. Hopefully learn something. Thanks for representing for the girls and our small beautiful town. Awesome season.
Kristine, have you tried a blue colored jig bait lure?
Gotta get ya some of those neoprene rod sleeves. So much better than the mesh ones. 6th sense sells nice ones at reasonable price.
I love how you kept the big catches quiet, could tell there were more competitors (boat or kayak) near. Awesome
I always enjoy your tourney video's just to watch how you approach the lake and where you choose to fish and always enjoy seeing the fish you catch and how excited you always are. Your passion always shows through which is inspiring always wish you the best and keep crushing those fish!
First video of yours I watched and subscribed. You're awesome…wish my wife loved to fish like you do. Good luck and lookin forward to Day 2.
woah!!!
Awesome— you go girl. Praying you win it.
Congratulations, your getting the job done. Love your tournament videos.
Bravo! Impressive skills!
You caught some younders, great job! Can't wait for day 2 and the finish! You fish so hard and deserving of the 🏆🏆🤞🤞🙏🙏
Nice smallmouth!!!
Great vid. Be GLAD you didn't put in by the islands and grass. There were at least 15-20 yaks that put in at pride landing and another 15-20 bass boats all fishing that area, plus others that came in throughout the day. There was only maybe 2 kayak guys that did well outta all that mess. There was plenty of fish; but they were highly pressured, you had to think outside the box to get them and to get enough to get a good limit and some culls. I actually had a conversation at the ramp on friday and again on saturday. A lot of us that didn't know pickwick well and didn't get very much practice put in there mostly because of your pickwick video from 2 years ago. On friday another guy and myself discussed how crowded it would be right in that area because of your pickwick vids from winning the tournament at near the same time of the year on grass lines and grass flats by islands. People that didn't have anything else were gonna put in there solely from that video. Thats part of reason I put in there on practice, but tourney day i thought I had found a lil pattern within a pattern-
—current pinch point between islands with bait and grass, I had it to myself,-it just didn't pan out on tourney day.You made the right decision for sure, just goes to show why you are great at this sport and a fantastic decision maker—- and that history can not be trusted to provide winning level fish in seasons afterwards
Since when can a tournament angler tell someone fishing for fun to leave?
You are a Beast with a spinning rod and reel my fellow Angler🙏💯💙🙌💪🔥🤺🎣🐟.
Pemancing hebat….👍😍
Let's go my sister get ur done and God willing you can win and I can win also in my fall NAPRA league I am in now. I am tied for 5th place currently. Sincerely "The Dayton Metro Smallmouth Slayer" and your fellow Angler and brother🙏💯💙🙌💪🔥🤺🎣🐟.
Sorry what do you mean by bank fisherman out.
Thanks ?
your right on that,..i love the growth of our sport but to actually hit the water and theres 100 other boats SUCKS
I thought my pb Smalley was a drum to I caught it in a night tourney
I really enjoy the tournament videos. Good job!
Any tips on dressing for kayak fishing in the cold months? Nervous to be on the water when cold shock is possible but don't want to quit fishing either (GA).
Way to stick with your junk fishing decision! Great job out there!
I really enjoy watching your videos. But if I was legally bank fishing I would feel a certain kind away about some stranger telling me leave specially sense I only get to go a couple hours a week if I’m lucky. Needless to say I wouldn’t be going anywhere. Bank fishing people have a very very limited access to the water compared to the people that are on boats and kayaks
Well done! Love the thought process after seeing a bunch of anglers throwing movin baits to go against the grain, downsizing your cricket, and fishin slow. If I’ve learned anything from fishin derbs, usually the anglers that think differently do well….Whether it’s throwing an alternative bait, changing up their retrieve or time they let their cricket sit, or just finding that “needle in a haystack” type of spot. Rip their lips on Day 2, tight lines, and good luck!
Hoping that your pattern held up to the changing conditions… but have faith either way. You are a pretty smart cookie and will adapt to the circumstances. Congrats on leading on the first day Kristine, big boost for the self esteem!
So glad i found your channel. Been looking for a great woman fisherman. You have re lit the fire inside me. Thank you for all you do. You will be one of the main reasons little girls will believe the can hang with the boys
Can't wait for the day 2 vid to drop! Hopefully you kept crushing it like you did on day 1 💪🏻🎣
watching a fishing tournament is like watching a Friday 13 movie
Awesome job. Praying for you that your pattern holds up. You got this.
Love it you are the best strong woman
Great job. Best of luck
Yall
How are you liking your fish finder up front vs. directly to your right?
Your fishing was amazing you only caught big fish, Congratulations you are a very lucky fisherman.👍🎣🐠😊
God bless always and good fishing!
Go get them!👍
I bet that big smallie that you lost was the difference between 1st and 2nd after day 2. Way to fish it.
Higher dirty water chatterbait, spinnerbait?
Way to go!!! I hope you win!!! I live in the south central part of Alabama and never fished Pickwick. I just fish the ponds but I would one day like to fish some bigger lakes. That was an awesome day for you!!!
Don’t hear your drag working like you have a perfect rod line combination?
Always good to see a video. Do you change factory hooks on crank baits? Id love to see some tips and techniques you use. That would be a great video. I was in a rain like that once and had two hrs left in the tourney. Cold and wet my partener and I sat in a slip the rest of tourney..lol
You go girl. I love to see your fire for fishing.
