Al Lindner

One of the legends of the sports fishing world, Al Lindner has been inducted and enshrined into the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) Hall of Fame, the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame, the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame, Minnesota Fishing Hall of Fame, as well as the Normark Hall of Fame. All of these awards were for his work as an educator and communicator. Hailed as one of the world's best all-around multi-species angler and a leader in the sport fishing industry, Al's list of accomplishments are indeed long with over 65 awards. Today he is one of the longest continually running outdoor television show hosts in the world. Al is also co-founder of Lindy Tackle and the In-Fisherman Magazine and Media Network. Currently Al is producing innovative outdoor programming, including Lindner's Angling Edge Television, seen nationwide on local broadcast, cable and satellite networks, You Tube and with a growing presence on Christian television. Throughout his professional life he has blended his work with his strong Evangelical faith and love for Jesus. He ends each program on secular television with a strong acknowledgment of God, Jesus, and the Bible. His book First Light On the Water, now in it's 3rd printing, chronicles his life in the world of professional fishing while a disciple of Jesus. Requests for personal appearances as a speaker at men's church groups are way more than he can handle. This is, however, one of the richest returns of his professional career.
