Watch our Interview with Renee Chou of WRAL!

It's hard to believe that less than 8 weeks ago, we formed a fishing team that would become nationally known and is currently making its way around the world! But the sometimes making a big splash (...see what we did there... *winks*) in your local community is THE most rewarding experience ever!

Today, local ABC affiliate WRAL covered our story in a BIG way! The lovely and talented, Renee Chou interviewed teammates Gia Peebles and Lesleigh Mausi about our origin story, our sisterhood, our team's recent accomplishment in the Carteret Community College Spanish Mackerel and Dolphin Tournament the very first tournament on our journey toward competing in Big Rock's KWLA tournament in June of 2021.

Looks like we need to set a new follower goal!

Thanks to that gracious interview with our beloved team captain @giachevelle we will likely surpass our 1st follower goal of 1K fans! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to the wonderful team and our AMAZING fans that woke us up with HUNDREDS of messages, DMs and new subscriptions on our website to tell us TO HURRY UP AND CALL IN! 

After recovering from the sheer shock of it all we quickly dove into action! We are so grateful to you for sharing our story and encouraging black women to call in with their own fishing stories, hopes and dreams and show that we can and DO support one another!
