My condolences to Mr. Wittmann's family and friends. As with many, I never met him, but his invention and product, the Z-Ray, has brought much enjoyment to my life and my family. I took my first cast with a Z-Ray back in about 1976 and it has been my go-to trout lure ever since. I have fished more than 700 wilderness lakes with it (mostly in California), and over 500 of these with my wife Judy; it is safe to say we have caught thousands of trout on Z-Rays. We now have a stockpile of hundreds of Z-Rays from which we restock our operating lure collection as we lose them. Now our two kids are getting into the act. Over the years we came to know Gary and Lorraine through phone and email correspondence (including sending photos that were posted on the Z-Ray website) but we never met Mr. Wittmann. I wished I had so that I could have told him how many smiles the lure brought to me and my wife.

I am very sorry and saddened for the family's loss. I first learned of the Wittman Lure Co. while watching an old gentleman in Texas (Fred Parks) pulling in one rainbow trout after another at a municipal pond in winter. After learning that he was using a zray, I quickly ordered some and became an expert at fishing them. One of the best trout lures I have ever fished. Became friends with Gary and Lorraine and began to send my trout fishing photos to them. I'm sorry that I never got to meet Mr. Wittman.
