Tom Rowland Podcast

In this episode of the Tom Rowland Podcast, I sit down with international angler Leanne Powell, who recently set a world record for bass fishing. Leanne shares her intriguing journey into fishing, which began at a young age and became a serious pursuit after significant personal losses in 2015.  We discuss her life between the U.S. and the Middle East, her experiences with tournament fishing, and the unique challenges and triumphs of being a woman in male-dominated sports like fishing and car racing. Leanne also highlights her aspirations for future tournaments, the importance of perseverance, and her goal to inspire others through her passion for fishing.  Tune in for an inspiring conversation about resilience, ambition, and the love for angling. 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:28 Leanne's Early Fishing Journey 01:21 Fishing Adventures in the Middle East 05:57 Transition to Tournament Fishing 08:42 Racing and Mechanic Work 15:45 Life in Texas and Fishing Tournaments 25:36 World Record
