Fishing has been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember. Being out on the water, just experiencing nature, spending quality time with family and friends – that’s truly what it’s all about. Catching is also fun! 😉 Just about anyone who fishes could agree that one of the best things about it is the way fishing connects us to something so much greater than ourselves, and teaches us things we might otherwise never learn.

 

   My hope is to inspire other non-professional anglers, anglers who rarely fish, and people who’ve never fished a day in their life to just get out there and go for it! As long as you have some basic fishing knowledge to work with, you can go have a blast – even if you’re totally unsuccessful!

 

      This year, my plan is to learn a ton, break a few IGFA Women’s World Records, have a great time fishing no matter what, and share my experiences along the way.
