Veteran angler Rick Olson has done it all when it comes to walleye fishing.  Enthusiasm and hard work paid off in a steady climb up the tournament ladder.  The South Dakota native received his first visibility as a tournament angler by winning numerous events throughout the Missouri River reservoir systems.  The years that followed led to prominent status on the Professional Walleye Trail, the North American Walleye Anglers circuit, the FLW Walleye Tour and most recently the new AIM Walleye Series.

Rick’s determination to be a champion has led him from the Rookie of the Year title in his first year following the pro tour to the World Championship title in 1994 followed by two Angler of the Year awards, the Professional Walleye Trail AOY in 2000 and the FLW Walleye Tour AOY in 2001.

Rick is one of the steadiest and most respected anglers on the pro tour.  He has qualified for 29 Championship fields and racked up 41 top ten finishes since joining the pro tour.
