What's with the two
different shows both involving the Linder Boys.


Ron Lindner retired from In-fish almost 10 years ago. Al sold the company
more than 5 years ago. He contracted to host the TV show for 4 years, and
then had a 1 year non-compete clause. During the non-compete year, Ron &
Jim set up Lindner Media to put out a new TV show as soon as Al was
contractually free to join them.

Anglers Edge belongs to the Lindners. In-Fisherman does not. The are both
heavily sponsored by Normark and Berkeley, so a lot of the stuff looks the
same. But the shows are not actually connected to each other, other than
the fact that Al USED TO be on the In-Fisherman show, and he and Ron
founded the In-Fisherman organization.

FWIW, I think the In-Fish show has slippied a notch or two under the
ownership of Primedia, and the Anglers Edge show is better than In-Fish was
before the slipped. But both are better than most other fishing shows by a
wide margin, at least from the how-to standpoint.
