Herman Lucerne Memorial from PRESSLAUNCH on Vimeo.
I must admit that, as a trout guy, I’d never heard of Herman Lucerne before I watched this video from PRESSLAUNCH, but he seems to have been a true pioneer. Mentor to such famous Florida anglers as Flip Pallot and Stu Apte, Lucerne is credited with opening up the incredibly intricate Hell’s Bay to sportsmen. There’s now a tournament named for Lucerne, with all proceeds going back into the National Park he loved so much.
