Champion Angler Powered By Pickle Juice? |
|
Kristine Fisher, became the first female to earn one of the most prestigious titles in professional tournament kayak fishing with a win at Lake Eufaula last weekend.
The 2021 Hobie Bass Open Series (BOS) Tournament of Champions was held on Lake Eufaula Nov. 12-14, 2021. Only the Top 50 anglers in Hobie BOS Angler of the Year standings earned a spot in this three-day championship event. Fisher earned the crown and a grand prize of $35,000 for her efforts. Something you may not know about Fisher's on the water meal prep for her Kayak tournaments is that it involves frozen pickle juice. The attributes of drinking pickle juice have been well documented, as many high level athletes incorporate it into their meal planning regiments. Pickle juice can sooth muscle cramps, help you stay hydrated, and contains numerous antioxidants. Fisher typically keeps her meals light during competition, also relying on various types of protein bars and water as well to keep her energy levels stable during a long day on the water. Check out this article from Healthline that explains in detail all the benefits of drinking pickle juice here.
