Michigan Stinger Pro Team
4 mins ยท
On Friday evening, we lost a true legend. Terry Weber suffered a tragic ice fishing accident and perished before rescue efforts were able to be made. He was an entrepreneur, pioneer, enthusiast, and supporter of the Great Lakes fishing we all love and enjoy. He never had the idea he would become a manufacturer of one of the greatest trolling spoons we've ever known. Michigan Stinger started almost 37 years ago as a hobby. He made spoons for himself because he said he was too cheap to go out and buy them. At that point, Michigan Stinger was born. What started as a hobby, quickly became a full time business as his closest fishing peers wanted to use what he was using and made.
Without his thoughts, persistence, ideas, and ridiculously hard work, we wouldn't even be close to what we are now.
Everyone that met him, quickly learned that he was there to offer help, tips, techniques, or just some words of fishing encouragement. He was wiser beyond his young 69 years of experience. So many of you have reached out to let us know how much he helped you in some way or another. Whether is was taking you under his wing at a young age, fishing together on the same boat, or just sharing stories and pictures.
As we fight through this unbearably difficult time, all of our family would like you to know that everything you've done is helping us get through this. The response of love for Terry, has been greater than we've ever imagined. Sometimes you forget how many people you encounter in your life that make such a positive impact. You all have done the same for him and our family.
We are trying the best we can to contact family and friends with funeral arrangements. Please share this as I know we don't have the ability to let everyone know in time.

Sorry to hear this. I have to assume he fell through thin ice? Fishing by himself? Condolences!
