Kari Koivisto

Member since February 2020 Helsinki, Finland
Background
I started fishing when I was 6 years old. My father is a huge fan of fishing and he started to take me out with him. First I started angling from the bank and ice fishing during the wintertime. Later on, I started to compete on both angling and ice fishing. Nowadays it's mainly predator fishing from the boat and bringing customers out for fishing. I still like ice fishing a lot and that's is still the way of fishing during the wintertime. Fishing is a lifestyle for me and I like to do it in several different ways.
