"Man has been fishing for centuries, but the evolution of the modern angler unfolded over a period of just 14 years. The process began in 1959 and was virtually complete by the end of 1972. Everything that's happened since was a spin-off of the extraordinary chain of events that occurred during fishing's renaissance period." - Babe Winkelman

"It is hard to put an exact date on when all these disparate pieces, like structure and depth finders and predictors of fish movement, would coalesce in an effective way, but it definitely started in Chicago with the meeting of these legendary game changers. From this time on, the pieces were in place and in play for the revolution to take shape and evolve, and by the early 1960s, things really started to happen in earnest. By the close of that decade, 'the modern angling revolution' was in full flower." - Ron Lindner
