Al Lindner

Over the past thirty-five years, Al Lindner has become a world-renowned sport fishing leader. He, and his brother Ron, were cofounders of Lindy Tackle, as well as In-Fisherman, Inc., which included: In-Fisherman Magazine; In-Fisherman Television; radio shows; books; videos; calendars; a web site; and, a Walleye tournament circuit. Al is one of the few fishermen who has successfully fished, and won, both major bass tournaments in the South, as well as professional Walleye tournaments in the North.

Of all the titles Al Lindner holds, he prefers to be known as an “angling educator”. A job he tirelessly pursues. In 1973, he and his brother sold their stake in the Lindy’s Tackle Company, then, in 1998, sold In-Fisherman.

Lindner Media Productions films, edits and produces outdoor television programming for some of America’s most popular television shows, which include: Lindner’s Angling Edge; Lindner’s Fishing Edge and Gander Mountain’s Bass Tournament Tour. Additionally, they also supplied video footage, from their extensive film library, for the History Channel’s series: “Modern Marvels”.

From 1970 until 1978, Al Lindner captured two B.A.S.S. tournament victories, appeared in three BassMaster Classics and took home money in 14 of the 26 tournaments he competed in. Not bad for any angler, let alone someone who had to drive from Brainerd, Minnesota, to compete, and was in the process of starting and running two very successful businesses. Additionally, Al has been inducted into the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame; the Minnesota Fishing Hall of Fame and has received countless awards for his contributions to sport fishing and the sport fishing industry.
