Meet The Team

Thor Skoe

Thor was born in Park Rapids, MN and developed a passion for the outdoors from a young age fishing with his grand parents and hunting with his dad. With his passion for the outdoors came an interest in photography, videography, and writing to help share his passion with more people.

Brett Erickson

Brett is an area tournament angler who has a passion for getting the next generation of anglers interested in fishing and the outdoors. You can find him coaching, volunteering as a boat captain for youth fishing events, when he's not busy chasing bass through North Dakota and Minnesota. He also has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to fiberglass boats. He is an auto body tech who specializes in gel coat and metal flake repair and refinishing.

Adam Omlid

Adam was born and raised in Grand Forks, ND where he currently resides with his wife and 5 kids. He grew up playing hockey, racing BMX and being in the outdoors. He has had a passion for fishing since he was 7 years old, waking up early to get on the water or watch Bill Dance. He is a multi-species angler who has developed a passion for building rods, painting crankbaits, and fishing Bass tournaments!

Taylor Mellenthin

Taylor fancies himself a multi-species angler, and a master of none. A multi-seasonal angler fisherman to a fault. Starting from the bank he developed a passion for ice fishing and open water fishing. From a bluegill from the dock to a mighty Sturgeon from the Rainy and every species in-between. With a passion to share his love of fishing with friends, and family; as well as a stubborn streak that would make a mule blush, Taylor is always looking for the next great trip!

Chris Rothmeier

Hailing from Springfield, MN with his wife and 4 kids, Chris is a family man and die hard outdoorsman. When he's not at his lake place in Alexandria or on a Fish Addictions trip he is fishing walleye tournaments or exploring the great multi species options around home. Chris loves to travel, and meet as many anglers, and learn as much as he can about fishing!

Cpt. Ross Swenson

Ross was born and raised in Roseau Minnesota. He is the owner of Big North Guide Service on beautiful Lake of the Woods. He loves to chase big Pike and Walleyes either on the ice or in the boat. If you don't see him on Lake of the Woods you will finding him fishing Walleye tournaments, chasing geese, or spending time with his family! 

Caleb Larson

Caleb is a northern MN resident with a passion for the outdoors that is second to few. Hunting and fishing have been instilled in his life from a very young age by family tradition. He grew up fishing the local river for Pike and Walleye, with a mix of other species caught from time to time. If he’s not fishing or hunting with his dad, wife and daughters or friends he’s probably thinking about it. In the last few years, he has stepped into the walleye tournament world and is excited to see what he can learn and where that experience leads him.

Jim Richter

Born and raised in Grand Forks, ND Jim was blessed to have grandparents who farmed a mile from Devils Lake. He spent as much time as he could with his grandparents exploring the lake and developing a passion for Walleye fishing. That passion grew to traveling to film with Fish Addictions, hunting for deer, and chasing panfish across Minnesota.
