Studio One features Alaskan fishing guide, Females for Firearms group
Learn about what goes into Alaska deep sea fishing and about one woman who says handling a handgun can boost confidence on the next edition of Studio One.
When most people think about reeling in the “big one,” a five-pound walleye might be a dream come true. Tim Niccum would consider a five-pound fish a poor day on the water. Niccum will be on Studio On to talk about his job as a deep sea fishing guide in Alaska. He will talk about the largest fish he ever caught, which weighed in at 235 pounds. “When you reel in the big fish you need to be able to fight. It takes a lot of upper arm strength,” says Niccum. Learn more about the dangers, equipment and preparation that goes into Alaskan deep sea fishing.
Also, firing ranges are commonly thought to be a man’s domain, but one female student is shooting down that stereotype. Amy Stroh has been visiting the firing range with her dad since she was 10. She says that she has always had an interest in handguns. “It definitely boosts your confidence a little bit, it’s really empowering, especially for first time members of the club who haven’t shot before. The first-time they hit the target, you can see their faces light up, and that’s really fun,” explains Stroh. As part of her university’s Females for Firearms club, her goal is to get more women out on the firing range. Hear more about this confidence-boosting hobby on the next edition of Studio One.
