The All-Women’s Extreme Fishing Team Docuseries
History is being made. Fishin’ Girl Nation’s Extreme Team—backed by a producer and professional film crew—is breaking boundaries across the U.S. in a groundbreaking documentary. This isn’t just fishing; it’s empowerment, grit, and the unstoppable rise of women anglers.
From catfishing and noodling to shark hunts and python trapping, these women take on extreme fishing challenges in some of the toughest conditions imaginable. Every cast, every battle, every triumph pushes the limits of what’s possible—on the water and in life.
But our fight goes deeper. With every challenge conquered, we shine a light on human trafficking and raise awareness for the Fishin’ Girl Nation Safehouse—a mission of hope and restoration for women silenced by modern slavery.
This is not a reality show. It’s a high-impact, professionally filmed docuseries that will captivate audiences and redefine what it means to fish—for trophies, for freedom, for change.
Fishin’ Girl Nation is more than a team. It’s a movement. Join the revolution!

Jaylynn Parker
(Jaylynn Parker will be featured on both Extreme Team 1 & 2)
Fishing since the age of three, Jaylynn Parker—the “Monster Slayer”—is no stranger to tough waters. She thrives on extreme-style catfishing, navigating flood-stage creeks by kayak, canoe, or small boat, often running jug lines through debris-filled, dangerous currents. At just 15 years old, Jaylynn made history with a 101.11-pound, 56-inch blue catfish—officially recognized as the Ohio State Record. Her catch shattered previous records and redefined the standard in river fishing. She landed the fish in the rough backwaters of a tributary of the Ohio River using nothing but jug lines and sheer determination. Jaylynn isn’t just breaking records—she’s breaking barriers. Her story proves that strength, skill, and courage have no age limits.
