Ron Lindner
Ron Lindner (born 1934 in Chicago, IL) is a sportsman and fishing industry innovator who has invented, along with his younger brother Al Lindner, many fishing lures and rigs including the Lindy Rig which has been used by tens of millions of anglers to catch walleye since it first hit the market in 1968.〔http://www.twincities.com/sports/ci_18053887〕 Lindner estimates that more than 70 million Lindy Rigs - and, as he put it, "its many imitators" - have been sold. Lindner also co-owns the Baxter, MN based Lindner Media Productions, along with Al and sons James, Daniel and Bill, which specializes in producing educational fishing programs (such as "Angling Edge" and "Fishing Edge"), DVDs, videos, national TV commercials, product sales videos, point of purchase videos as well as providing underwater photography to the sport fishing industry.〔http://www.anglingedge.com/presskit/About_LMP.shtml〕 Lindner Media Productions customers include such well known companies as Rapala, Berkley, Lund Boats, Shimano, Blue Fox, Storm, MinnKota, Mustad, Nature Vision, Lindy Tackle, Humminbird, Frabill, VMC, HT Enterprises, Mercury Outboard Motors, and Gander Mountain. Lindner has been inducted into three fishing hall of fames and the Lindy Rig was featured in the Minnesota State Historical Society's 2008 list of "Minnesota’s 150 — The people, places, and things that shape our state". http://www.mnhs.org/exhibits/mn150/
==Early life==
Lindner learned his love for fishing while spending summers at his parents' lake cabin on Lake Ripley in Cambridge, WI and started fishing at the age of five.〔http://www.walleyecentral.com/articles/?a=2558〕 Besides catching fish, he was fascinated by the lures, the rods, the reels, and other accessories of the sport.〔http://www.anglingedge.com/pages/tract2.shtml〕 After spending time in the Army in the early 1950s, and after brother Al's short 1965-1966 tour in Vietnam, the pair moved their families in 1966 first to Wisconsin and then to Brainerd, MN to get their start in the fishing tackle and guide business. Once established as fishermen and as fishing guides, the Lindners decided to test the waters of outdoor television in 1970. With Lindner scripting, filming, and directing the show and Al in front of the camera the pair filmed their first episode on Big Sand Lake near Park Rapids, MN teaching people how to find and catch fish.〔http://www.northlandoutdoors.com/event/article/id/144898/publisher_ID/40/〕
Over the next thirteen years, the brothers invented and marketed numerous lures (such as the Lindy Rig, No-Snagg fishing sinker, and the Rapala VMC product line for walleye fishing),〔http://www.twincities.com/sports/ci_18053887〕 with some selling in the millions, launched, Lindy Tackle company (which they sold in 1973), authored many books and articles, fished tournaments, produced radio shows. In 1979, they created In-Fisherman, the parent company for the sport fishing magazine and nationally syndicated radio and television shows of the same name.
However happiness eluded him even though he was living his fantasy of fishing throughout the world (while wife Dolores was at home raising seven children alone). Running with hard-living people, his excesses finally caught up with him when he got his third DUI in 1973 and was forced into Alcoholics Anonymous. For the next five years he struggled with alcohol and the guilt, remorse, and depression common with alcoholism. It all came to a head in 1978 while working at the Minneapolis Sports Show where after going on a drinking binge he lost a day and a half and thought his car had been stolen (which he had in fact abandoned 2 blocks from his hotel).
