Recently, Laura Ann made waves in the bass fishing world by becoming the first female ever to receive a bass fishing scholarship. Since we are beginning a new feature here at Wide Open Spaces, aptly named Women of the Woods, we felt Laura Ann would be a great introduction to our series.

I got the chance to ask her some important questions regarding not only her success, but also about how she manages becoming an expert angler on top of still being a high school student.

WOS: Congratulations on this huge accomplishment! What was it like to know you received a scholarship offer from SCAD, making you the first female to receive an angling scholarship?

Laura Ann Foshee: It’s a dream come true! Going to SCAD would not have been possible without the scholarship. I now get to take graphic art design and photography at the best school while doing what I love as I continue to grow my fishing skills.
