FISHING against IKE! (Susquehanna Tourney BIG comeback) 

I fish the suskie quite a bit...this girl figured that river out better than most people and she did it damn quick. She NAILED some common mistake that people make on that river. Everyone goes to the ledges, etc. Shes absolutely right about bigger solitary fish getting away and c ruising the shallows. They can be impossible to catch if the water ia super low , but if you hit it right....omg. Heaven.

Love your videos! And, really appreciate the subtitles showing the fish length and lures being used. I don't kayak fish, but have a small boat. However, I learn a great deal by watching your videos, which is why I watch fishing videos. Thanks for the insight and play-by-play of how you are fishing!

Smallmouth on buzz bait ! Nobody is aloud to have that much fun 👍👍👍👍👍❤

I grew up fishing this river and the smallmouth were so fun. I loved their aerial action. Although everyone talks about small mouth, one afternoon with a buddy, after landing a stringer of small mouth, I tied into something else. I was unable to move the contact for so long that my buddy was laughing that I had snagged on the bottom. After 15 minutes or so I began to notice the line was moving slowing across the current and I was making some headway 😅. I got within 8 feet of me and rolled and ran back to open water! My heart raced as I figured no one would believe my “fisherman’s story” if I lost it. I finally landed it and it was a very large walleye pike. Needless to say, my buddy’s laughing stopped. You are a terrific angler. 😊

Love watching your recaps! I feel like it’s classroom time for me and I try to absorb every detail you share. 🤩 Congratulations! You are on a roll and I’m so excited for you! Keep that momentum going girl! 👊🏼

Watching someone fish and talk and enjoy your home fishery is amazing. Loved the "literally a mile wide" comment I had to chuckle as it's a local saying "Mile wide knee deep" 😂

You are one fierce woman on the water!!!! Your video's are informative an lots of fun to watch.. Thanks for all you do..

I’ve been going back over your older videos. For a non-scientist you sure use a systematic scientific approach. Well done! I’m impressed.

Awesome job . I'll be watching lots of your videos

Good morning Fisherman.😊 Your fishing was very good, you caught beautiful Fish, congratulations your Fishing equipment is incredible.👍🎣🐟😉

Glad to see you come to our neck of the woods and see what great smallmouth bass fishing is all about. I've been fishing that river all my life and it never gets old. Tight lines.

Loved the competitor in you!that river is visually spectacular.felt like there was history on those waters and lands.great job adjusting and going for the win

Kristine can fish! Imagine fishing from the bow of one of those $78,000 Ranger Bass Boats. Good Luck Kristine!! Catcha biggun!

Awesome Susquehanna River video. Truly enjoyed watching it. Looked like my fun fishing days- unfortunately the big ones never enter the kayak during river tournaments.

always love your tournament recap videos!

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to pick it apart like this. I know how much work it is. Again, thanks.

Awesome video!Loved all the big river smallies.Congrats on the solid finish.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. 1. For being so open about the struggle yet overcoming. 2. Your details of what you used and how you broke things down. 3. For representing women anglers with skill and passion. From Women Anglers of MN. Congrats 👏

Picturesque. Well done. That was a great vid. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing. Scenery was beautiful!! Love smallmouth fishing! Really enjoy your channel 😊

Congratulations on a great day in the water. Keep on fishing 🎣.

Fantastic job Kristine!! And congratulations on getting in the money 😊👏👏👏

You are awesome! Your persistance and never give up attitude makes you a true professional! Enjoyed all your vids and your journey!

Love it! A ton of valuable info in this video! Thank you.

Great video and recap. Congrats on the great second day and high finish. I love a good buzzbait bite for river smallies. Good luck in the next tournament.

Congrats on being in the money. Glad I stumbled on your video. Had to watch for two reasons. 1. I love kayak fishing. 2. The Susquehanna is a very special river to Mohawks and all of the Iroquois tribes. Great job!!!

What a huge jump to close the gap and make the money. Congrats! Always great to see that smile and fist pump when you land a biggie!

You are inspiring! Congratulations, well deserved!

Ms. Fischer, I almost held my breath till the end. During the recap you were so happy I said she won! If you can beat Ike you can beat the rest. Granted he was in a Yak, it’s still a boat - impressive. Good luck at the next stop on your journey.

I love these after tourney recaps 👌👍🎣🎣

Congrats Kristine! Nice to see you in my home state.

Amazing video as always . Can’t wait to hit the Susky in October!!! Wish y’all could be here for that one . Keep these amazing videos coming.

I am a Korean fisherman. I am impressed by your fishing skills. I subscribe

YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

This was a great recap, Kristine!

Congratulations Kristi🎊🎉🎇🎆🏆🇺🇸

Great breakdown on your process, congrats!

Congrats! That's a heck of a comeback. Great video.

Awesome love your tournament video’s. Pretty cool to fish against a pro and beat him. But I wouldn’t expect any less from one of the best kayak anglers in the country! Congrats Kristine!

Great job out there, I could listen to those fish eating a buzz bait on repeat all day long

On the west side of Pennsylvania is the Allegheny River. Fish the Allegheny north of all the locks in jet boat territory. It’s beautiful and the smallies get big

The New is epic, love it through Pulaski, Montgomery and Giles Counties! Congrats on trusting your instincts and recon!

Congrats on a great comeback and cashing a check and beating IKE to boot. Good luck up on the Mississippi, keep,the roll going !

Enjoyed the story of your tourny....some beautiful fish. Good Job getting into the money!

"They're jumpin everywhere" The bass were either after emerging insects or adults on the surface. We have many fantastic hatches on the Susquehanna. Right now on the North Branch the White Flies are out and it's a blizzard of insects in the evening. A big smallie on a fly rod is an experience, especially caught on a dry fly.

Great video! Congratulations!

Amazing video thanks for all the insight

So much respect for you, you deserve 100k+ subscribers. I've shared a few of your videos. Keep it up! Cant wait until bass tourney season is over to see you getting muskie and other fish. Cheers!

Appreciate you fishing the river in my backyard can’t wait to fish it this spring

I enjoy your tourney rundown. thanks for sharing what worked for you. congrats on cashing a check.

Another great video. Keep doing what you're doing. 💖

The fight of a smallmouth is special

Welcome to PA! Well done.

Great job!!!

Great job !! You truly are amazing ambassador for women in this sport! Thank you

Congratulations!!!!! Started fallowing you after fishing dads pod cast! Keep it up 👍

Very impressed!

Just started watching your vids a few weeks ago. You’re a straight up hammer!

Great job congratulations on another great Finish!

Nice. 14 miles is a lot of fishing on a kayak. Kristine, I love watching you catch fish on that Kayak. You are all over the place. Falling back, going up front. You move around in that yak like you were sitting on a couch. Just shows how comfortable you are there. Nice work figuring that out. Results tell the tale.

Love throwing the Plopper but sometimes the old reliable buzzbait is hard to beat!! Congrats on an awesome tournament...

Love to be there and have a great day with you ❤

Great adjustments - congratulations on a excellent finish.

Awesome job 👊 I love throwing a buzz bait . Keep up the amazing work

Only the Upper Potomac River can compare to the Susquehanna River, I caught my biggest Smallie while fishing above high island in a grass & gravel bar on a G Finnish Ghost Big O, but if I were going for bites? 1/4 oz brown/tan/green jig & a chartreuse or brown 101 uncle josh craw pork rind kicks ass! With a double silver Colorado blades and a black shirt! Throwing everything up current working it down into the fish not from behind! The Harrisburg part of the River is very productive! But need to keep an eye for rocks! But that's a great river fishery! The Blue Room Bar in town is great place for a beer & chow!

Just got my first kayak. Water still frozen here. Can't wait to get out and set my hook like you do. Only I think I'm going in the drink a couple times. Great videos.

Beautiful job adapting Kristine!

I put my soft baits in a IKE bag from Plano.......think I'm gonna need a Kristine Fischer bag soon :p

Great video. Thank you

Okayyyy I'm happy and upset. Happy that I found a new awesome channel, upset that I've been missing out 😑

Awesome!!!

Lake of The Woods in June was the best small mouth fishing I've ever experienced... caught em until we were literally exhausted.... congrats on beating Ike

Wow that's one huge river!! Nice catches looks like a sweet fishing spot!

Awesome just found your channel. Fished a KBF with you a while back but just found your channel. Looks like your smashing it!

Nice job keep up the hard work 🔥

I love the buzz bait !!

Recent sub but have watch a lot of your video's. Fishermen/women fish and catch a few, then their are anglers that use knowledge to consistently catch fish, you young lady are a true ANGLER.

Big congrats Kristine. Great video.

Klasse Kristine .lg von Luca B und Luca S und Milan die Angler.🎣 🐟 Petri 👍 like

Hope the huskers will play this year, we might just have to play Iowa back to back all season!

ATTA GIRL Kristine! Keep on crossin their eyeballs.

Smartest angler out there. Thanks for sharing how you do it.

Live to fish, Fish To Live !

Super impressive finish! I smoked a boulder with my drive in the Juniata on Saturday morning and called it. Honestly I’m just as impressed with you folks in the top 10 who were able to navigate it as well as you did

Well done. I like the way you showed the length and what you caught each fish on.

Isn’t it crazy how a blade of grass stopped that fish from biting? Great video. Congratulations Kristine.

You're so much fun to watch and learn something. Now I'm going to try buzzbait. Haha! Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Great video. That's my home turf. But I now live in Washington State. Columbia river where I live is stupid with smallmouth. Makes me wanna do a tournament. Thank you!

Great video!

🎣👍🏼Nice vid👍🏼

I can tell your not from PA by the way you say Susquehanna. Got to love catching the Smallies here!

Grats on your Lake Hartwell win wish you did a video on it. When i seen you had no go pros going i was a little disappointing. But maybe you will share how you broke down my area some other time. Also i charge one cup of coffee for parking fee shot of cream and two shots of maple syrup. Love you videos keep up the great work!!

I just started following you. I am learning alot from your videos, especially your hook sets. I love how you break down your planning for each day. What length rods do you use?

I agree with you Susquehanna river has some big smallmouth someone I know actually got the PA state record smallmouth for his age group and my other friend has also caught some huge smallmouth out of there

When I have big fish follow and not commit here on the Ohio River, I switch to a Buckeye Lures 1/4 oz double buzz and put a willow blade on the hook.

Big one nice

You're welcome. And thank you.

Thanks for the awesome video, and great job in the tourney! You said Sunbury to Harrisburg was eligible. I grew up in Duncannon and now live/paddle/fish in Marysville (literally right where your drone took that beautiful footage of the Rockville Bridge). What stretch of water were you in primarily?

You are one heck of a fisherwoman , seriously
