ESPN’s latest hot property is an attractive woman who was once told she could never be a fishing guide. Challenged, she became an Alaska guide and now travels around the world driving other guides crazy (watch one of the shows). “‘I’m looked upon as some retarded blonde,’ the gregarious 34-year-old admitted. ‘It’s a tough industry. No one wants you to get through as a female. But I said I’m not going to stop and I’m not going to quit. I encountered a lot of people in the industry who thought I was crazy. But I don’t know anything but fishing. I don’t know what else to do.'” Keith Lair in the Whittier, California Daily News.
