Like many Cortez natives, Chasten Whitfield lives and breathes fishing. Since she was a teenager, she dreamed of one day having her own fishing show. Now, at 23, she is wrapping up filming for the second season of Their Life My Lens, a show that follows her as she takes differently abled young people out for a day on the water.

As a female angler, Whitfield’s journey in the sport has been a bit different than most. In high school, she was made fun of for being a girl who liked to fish, but she didn’t let that stop her.
