Social media star Hannah Barron, aka the "Catfish Girl," has been on OutKick's radar for a long, long time. She appeared in "America’s Best Daily Internet Column" before it was a daily column.
Her catfish noodling skills earned her recognition before I ever wrote a single word for OutKick. She wasn't known to the internet as the "Catfish Girl" back then. It was well before Lane Kiffin attempted to recruit her.
It was years before the 30-year-old was shoving trolls into lockers for claiming that she wasn’t feminine because of her love of activities like hunting, fishing, noodling and bow fishing.

I don't know what Hannah's follower counts on social media were back then, but I'm confident they were well below the 1.8 million she currently has on Instagram alone. And she's not slowing down at all.
Hannah Barron has expanded her 'Catfish Girl' brand into merchandise
Last month, she announced, in addition to creating some of the best outdoor content on the internet across multiple social media platforms, that she was adding slinging merchandise including bikinis to her resume.
It has proven to be a wise business move on the part of the Alabama native. She's already sold out of some of the sizes of her bikinis.
Her bikinis are also popping up in the wild, with customers beginning to show them off online.
The outdoor influencer wrote after receiving a few of those photographic reports, "Love seeing our Barron Country Bikinis everywhere."
