About Vikings Offshore Fishing
Founded by father-and-son fishing partners Lonnie and Chandler Helgerson, Vikings Offshore Fishing was created to share our passion for offshore fishing, boating, family, and the Florida Gulf Coast.
What started as time spent together on the water is growing into a fishing media and lifestyle brand built around one simple idea:
If we're going fishing, we want to take you with us.
Based on Florida's Gulf Coast, Vikings Offshore Fishing documents our offshore adventures—from chasing grouper and other Gulf species to learning new techniques, testing tackle, dealing with changing weather, and occasionally finding ourselves attached to a fish that is considerably bigger than anything we planned for.
The Viking Crew
At the center of Vikings Offshore Fishing are Lonnie and Chandler.
Lonnie
Chandler
Lonnie brings decades of experience in business, boating, fishing, and life on the water. Chandler represents the next generation of anglers, bringing his own experience, enthusiasm, and perspective to every trip.
Together, we're building something that goes beyond fishing videos.
It's about father and son, family and friends, the lessons learned on the water, and the stories that come home with us.
As the Viking crew grows, you'll see more of the people who make each adventure unique—including new friends and fishing partners who climb aboard and become part of the crew.
The Vikings Offshore Fishing Experience
Our content follows the real offshore fishing experience.
We fish. We experiment. We learn. We get things wrong. We laugh. And when the opportunity comes, we chase some seriously big fish.
Our videos feature offshore fishing adventures, Florida saltwater fishing, tackle and gear, bait, boating, fishing techniques, and the everyday experiences that come with spending time on the Gulf.
We're also passionate about introducing people to Florida's saltwater fishing lifestyle and helping new anglers become more confident on the water.
The Vikings Brand
Vikings Offshore Fishing isn't just a fishing channel.
We're building a lifestyle brand for people who love the water.
Our merchandise is designed for the people who live the offshore lifestyle—whether you're on the boat, standing at the dock, heading to the tackle shop, or simply dreaming about the next trip offshore.
From our signature Vikings Offshore Fishing gear to our new and growing collection of fishing designs and Mongo's Rules, our products are meant to reflect the personality, humor, and adventure that define our crew.
And if you've ever hooked into a fish that made you question whether your tackle was big enough, you already understand Mongo.
Mongo's Rules
Rule #1: Bring bigger gear.
Rule #2: Bring more gear.
Rule #3: Mongo doesn't care.
Rule #4: See Rule #1.
