Kristine Fischer

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.
