Walleyes, Women Anglers & Northwoods Adventures: Meet Sarah Greene on Gear’d Up North!
If you love fishing, fierce competition, and inspiring stories from the heart of the Northwoods — you won’t want to miss this episode of Gear’d Up North!
In Episode 012, our host Jared Petrie teams up with Sarah Greene, a Minnesota native who’s proving that the outdoors isn’t just a guy’s game. Sarah is a tournament angler, content creator, proud member of Women Anglers of Minnesota (WAM), owner of BarbedWire Productions, and one of the most passionate voices in the fishing world today.
From Walleyes to Women-Led Movements
After two wild days chasing walleyes and prehistoric sturgeon on the Rainy River during the SJR500, Jared joined Sarah on her custom-named Ranger boat, Monkey Business, for an unforgettable day on the water.
They talked about everything from what fuels Sarah’s love of fishing to the importance of women-driven programs like Women Anglers of Minnesota, which empowers current and future generations of girl anglers to pick up a rod, get out on the water, and claim their space in the fishing world.
Spoiler alert: It’s not just about the trophies — it’s about building community, lifting each other up, and having a dang good time along the way.
