Born and raised in rural NE, Kristine had a natural inclination for the outdoors.  She started fishing at an early age and would go on to work in a hard goods store selling hunting and fishing equipment out of college. Her passion and her competitive nature led her to kayak fishing.  She was the first female to crack the top three in the Hobie Bass Open on Kentucky lake in 2018, and she would go on to win that event, qualifying her for Hobie Worlds in 2019. Though she loves the competitive side of the sport, her ultimate goal is to use her platform to inspire, educate, and encourage others to spend more time outdoors.

Tyler is 28 years old and grew up in Austin, Tx. Being on the lake was always a part of his life, and there was never a time that he wasn’t into water sports and boating.

Over the past 9 years, Tyler has built one of the largest social media followings in the fishing industry under the name TylersReelFishing and creates fishing content for hundreds of thousands to enjoy.

A native of East Texas, Weslie grew up fishing the lakes and rivers of the piney woods, where her passion for bass fishing began. The challenge and accessibility of kayak fishing drew her to the sport, and she now competes in tournaments across the country while creating content that shares her adventures on the water. Well respected in the fishing community for her competitive spirit and quick-witted sense of humor, Weslie is dedicated to inspiring others to get outside, find their passion, and live it to the fullest. Life's short. Fish hard.

Cameron started sharing his kayak fishing adventures a few years back as a way to show friends and family what he was up to. What began as a casual hobby quickly turned into something much bigger. Cam started filming more trips, sharing honest moments on the water, and connecting with a growing community of anglers. Over time, Cam has worked to build content that’s both informative and authentic; showing the real side of kayak fishing, not just the highlight reels. Cam has been able to merge his passion for storytelling with the sport he loves; all while staying more interested than interesting. At the end of the day, the love of fishing comes first, content creation is just the added benefit.
