Randy Lemcke, senior VP for Plano Molding Company, received the American Sportfishing Association's Norville Porsser Lifetime Achievement Award at the recent Sportfishing Summit in New Orleans.
The ASA said in a press release that that Lemcke was chosen "for the extraordinary leadership he has shown throughout his career in promoting the values of sportfishing and advancing cooperative approaches to addressing the issues facing the sportfishing industry."
Said ASA president and CEO Mike Nussman: "Randy has worked on behalf of the association and the industry for decades. As board of directors chairman, Randy brought a sense of fair play – and humor – to the position that we all appreciated and enjoyed.
"Randy's humble nature and earnest desire for results before his own need for recognition have kept him out of the limelight, but I assure you, no one is more deserving of this award than Randy Lemcke."
ASA also awarded its Future of Fishing Award to Coastal Conservation Association of Louisiana founder and Center for Coastal Conservation (CCC) founding chairman Jack Lawton Jr. for his work over the past three decades nurturing and growing recreational fishing.
