We went to Katsubu, Alaska.

And we're fly fishing. We're doing she fishing in a catcher release area in Katsubu.

It was cold.

It was beautiful.

I'm in the water. I'm casting fast and reeling any faster.

That's Stacey Abrams. You probably know her as a leading voice in American politics.

But the story she's telling is a window into her parallel life as an entrepreneur.

In 2006, Stacey and her friend Laura Hodgson co-founded a small venture called Insomnia Consulting.

Now, they found themselves north of the Arctic Circle, trying to win a new client.

That would be the Alaska Native Corporation or Nana representing local indigenous communities.

Our guides are members of the Indypat tribe that own the Nanna Corporation.

And so we're out there.

And one of the gentlemen came up to me and he was going to gently correct my casting.

And I said, no, no. I know what I'm doing. My dad is an avid fisherman, so I know how to fish.

But her guide pointed out the obvious flaw in her argument.

He said, well, you're not catching any fish. I'm like, I don't want to catch the fish.

It's cold in this water and I just want to give it a requisite amount of time and then get out.

But out of graciousness because I am Southern, I caught three she fish.

I demonstrated my prowess with the rod and the reel. I released the fish and I got out of the water.

I'm back on the boat. I'm reading the book I want to read. And Laura is still in the water.

And she is catching and releasing and her she fish count is rising by the moment.

And they lean over and they said, she's really good.
