Remembering Catfish Girl, America's viral sensation before HawkTuahGirl

Her newfound fame led to the creation of official Hawk Tuah merchandise, particularly trucker-style hats, which have been highly successful. Welch, who previously worked at a spring factory in Tennessee, quit her job to focus on her burgeoning online career. Despite facing some online criticism and bizarre requests, Welch remains undeterred and aims to capitalize on her viral moment. She has a management team and plans to appear on various podcasts and potentially develop her own show. However, before the Hawk Tuah girl, there was another animal-themed viral sensation: the Catfish Girl.
