Hannah Barron is famous for her hunting, fishing and noodling content.

The 29-year-old from Alabama has more than 1.7 million Instagram followers.

She often posts pictures of her biggest catches while dressed in a bikini out on the lake.

“For those of y'all who don't know why I'm sometimes referred to as ‘the Catfish Girl,’ it's because I like to wrestle catfish, AKA Catfish Noodling,” she wrote on X last year.

“Thank you all for the support! Preciate y'all.”

Hannah had been silent on X this year until a post last week.

She shared some fishing photos after acknowledging she’d neglected posting on the platform.

Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin came across the message on X and sent a recruitment pitch.

“Come to the Sip,” his post read.

But Barron had an instant reply for the college football coach.

    “Roll Tide,” her message simply said.

    Barron showed her allegiances and support for the Alabama Crimson Tide.

    Kiffin was a former employee on the team working under Nick Saban from 2014 to 2016.

    Hannah posts much more regularly on Instagram from her fishing trips.

    She even celebrated her birthday on July 3 by doing her favorite activity.
