Lucy Millsap, a 19-year-old former cheerleader from Texas, is the first woman to win the annual Okie Noodling Tournament in Pauls Valley, Okla.
Millsap, who has been noodling since she was 5 years old, beat out about 200 other contestants in the bare-handed fishing derby by landing a 72-pound catfish at Lake Texoma on Saturday, according to the Oklahoman. Millsap represented her handfishing club, the "Bare Knuckle Babes." It was her first competition.
GrindTV reports that Millsap's enormous fish was the largest caught in the tournament's 14-year history.
According to Tulsa World, Millsap's win caused a bit of controversy among participants in the predominantly male sport. The fact that she is a Texan apparently didn't sit too well among the hosting Okies, either.
