Wired2fish was launched by Marty and Scott Glorvigen in February 2008 with a mission to create a new kind of resource for freshwater anglers, starting with a focus on bass fishing. From the beginning, the goal was simple: Deliver engaging, useful, and timely content to passionate fishermen across the country. What began as a site centered around professional tournament coverage and bass fishing tackle has grown into one of the most trusted voices in recreational fishing.
By 2010, Wired2fish began to shift from covering the competitive side of fishing to building a robust library of how-to articles, gear reviews, and compelling video content aimed at helping everyday anglers improve their time on the water. This shift marked a significant expansion, reinforcing Wired2fish’s position as a go-to source for both educational and entertaining fishing content online.
In the years that followed, Wired2fish continued to evolve and expand its capabilities. The addition of more in-house editorial and video talent helped the brand dramatically increase the quality and quantity of its content output. Video production, in particular, became a cornerstone of the Wired2fish experience, with professionally produced fishing videos now reaching millions of anglers annually across various platforms.
Thanks to its small but highly skilled in-house team and a network of seasoned freelance contributors, Wired2fish has grown into one of the most respected media companies in the fishing industry. The team’s passion for fishing is matched only by its expertise in creating high-quality digital content tailored for large and engaged audiences.
With more than 2.1 million followers on social media, over 2 million monthly website visitors, and upwards of 74.9 million video views per year, Wired2fish has earned its reputation as a leading independent voice in fishing media. Their strong partnerships with many of the top brands in recreational fishing only add to their reach and credibility.
Wired2fish: Always Fishing. Always Sharing. Always Evolving.
Here’s a little about each member of the Wired2fish content team:
Joe has been fishing for longer than he can remember, cutting his teeth on striped bass, weakfish, summer flounder and other inshore favorites. He later took to freshwater fishing with smallmouth bass becoming a favorite, though he enjoys pursuing panfish, trout, and just about everything that swims. After receiving a degree in Wildlife Management from the State University of New York, he spent about a decade working in natural resource management for state and federal agencies including the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. He then began a career in written communications, writing for some 35 publications and serving as executive editor for Field & Stream and Salt Water Sportsman before joining the Wired2fish team as Editor-in-Chief.
Sam Hudson grew up along a stretch of Atlantic coastline where kids either surfed or fished. He picked fishing after catching a giant snook off the dock with his dad. His passion evolved into a lifelong pursuit, deeply rooted in his exploration of Florida’s diverse waterways. With more than 15 years of experience, Sam has held prominent roles as a staff editor and marketing manager for leading fishing publications including Salt Water Sportsman, Sport Fishing, and Florida Sportsman magazines. He previously served as executive editor for Salt Water Sportsman before joining Wired2fish. A Florida native, Sam continues to explore the state’s lakes and backwaters by kayak. He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida’s J-School and an MBA from UCF.
Nick Dumke got his start fishing early. Though he would love to consider himself a multi-species angler, bass fishing has always held a special place in his heart. He started fishing tournaments in middle school, and that is still how he spends most of his free time. He graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and two Minors in Social Media Administration and Sports Business from the University of Montevallo in the spring of 2024. While there, he found his way out onto the water often, traveling the country competing in tournaments with the Montevallo Fishing Team. Now Nick is carrying his passion for the sport into photography and videography here at Wired2Fish.
Ben Swanson graduated from St. John’s University in 2024 with a degree in Communications and a minor in Environmental Studies. A lifelong avid fisherman, Ben has a keen eye for photography and video production, picking up a camera at a young age and improving on his ability to create with it as the years went on. During high school at Minnetonka, Ben and a few friends started the Minnetonka Fishing Team. This allowed Ben and teammates to fish tournaments throughout the state against the likes of Grand Rapids, Lakeville, and more. He made many friends during the experience, while winning tourneys on Leech Lake, Mille Lacs, and Minnetonka.
