Becca Bowen never expected catching a 46-pound catfish with her bare hands to change her life—but that viral moment led to a reality TV win, national attention, and launched her country music career.

In this Around Town episode, Amanda meets Becca at Wanna Spoon Cereal Bar in Nashville. Becca shares how growing up hunting and fishing in South Carolina shaped who she is, why moving to Nashville wasn’t easy, and the unbelievable true story behind her hit song, “Son of a Gun.”

The ex-boyfriend who inspired “Son of a Gun”
Finding success by staying true to herself
