Ladies In The Outdoors, Gabi Peake, Oklahoma
Updated: Mar 25
My name is Gabi Peake. I am a disabled professional fisherman, singer, wife, and mom of two amazing kids, born and raised in Oklahoma.
Fishing has been one of my greatest passions since I was five years old, when my PaPa handed me my first fishing pole. I still remember the thrill of catching my first fish, a bluegill, and knowing immediately that I wanted to do it again and again.
Over time, fishing became more difficult, and I eventually learned why. I was diagnosed with Lupus with Autonomic Dysfunction, a condition that has slowed and disrupted my body’s normal functions and has impacted five of my organs so far, including my heart, which led to a pacemaker.
Even so, I refuse to let it define what I can do. I’m on the water 2 to 6 days a week, and I love every second of it. I’m drawn to big fish and big challenges, and I work hard for every catch. One of my favorite days on the water was captured in my Mrs. February 2026 photo, when I landed four catfish in under 50 minutes and brought home some thick slabs.
Today, fishing is more than a passion. It is my platform. I want my kids and anyone watching my journey to know this: keep going. Hold onto what you love, fight for what makes you happy, and never give up on yourself.
