Mike Olson’s passion for fishing began in diapers, as his grandfather raised and stocked the lakes of Minnesota with walleyes. Growing up surrounded by the sport, Mike developed a deep love for fishing that has shaped his life from the very beginning.

Over the years, his passion has evolved into two main focuses: competitive tournament fishing, which allows him to keep his competitive drive alive, and teaching. Not only does Mike share his knowledge with his kids and friends, but he is also fortunate to host a top-rated TV and social media show, where he’s able to reach a wider audience and teach anyone eager to learn the art of fishing.
