About Wired2fish, Inc.
In February 2008, Marty and Scott Glorvigen with the help of Todd Hammill and Terry Brown launched a new fishing website, wired2fish.com, to cover the world of freshwater fishing, specifically bass fishing at the time. In the early days, most of the coverage was centered around professional fishing tournaments and bass fishing tackle. The site was well received in the industry as Hammill and the Glorvigens were well known for their decades of work with the Gemini Sport Marketing (G2) clothing business. Brown was also well known for his work at Bassfan and Bassmaster.
In January of 2010, Jason Sealock was hired from FLW Outdoors where he was Editor in Chief of their magazines and building their initial social media following and online live coverage. He was looking to expand fishing content in the digital space, and Wired2fish was the up and coming property at that time in his mind. Sealock set Wired2fish on path of creating proprietary how-to articles, videos and tackle reviews as well as covering everything in the recreational fishing space.
Then with the addition of Ryan DeChaine from Lindner Media just 2 years later in September of 2014, Wired2fish gained a tremendous professional presence in video content. Ryan was able to ramp up videos on the website. And he also built out the video production component of the business.
From there, Wired2fish added Kyle Peterson, McKeon Roberts and Kobie Koenig in 2022 to help with their digital video content production and social media efforts. Sam Hanggi is the most recent addition to the team in May of 2023. He is the Associate Editor at Wired2fish, responsible for a lot of the writing and website posting duties.
What you have now is one the most robust media companies in the fishing space in terms of traffic and authority in recreational fishing as well as video production across multiple platforms. And this has all been done with a small, talented in-house angling team with quality freelance contributors in the field.
