Jack Kiser
Encyclopedia
Jack Kiser grew up in northeastern Ohio and cut his angling teeth on the nearby Cuyahoga River
years before it was fashionable, let alone praised as the greatest ecological comeback story in the nation's history. He and brothers Gary and Karl eventually seized on their increasingly widespread status as local angling aficionados, eventually culminating in the debut of the first Tackleshack outdoors retail store in 1985.
Joined by their father Clint Kiser, who had introduced them to the outdoors early on, the Tackleshack progressed through four increasingly larger locations before its sale in 2002, not long after Clint's death and not before the family had also become the moving force behind the Earlybird Outdoors Sportshows, which became a northeast Ohio tradition between 1988-2001, and their subsequent sale.

Jack counts these pioneering years as the most rewarding and gratifying of his outdoors career, coming as they did in the face of both honest doubt and outright cynicism from locals taken aback that any of the family ventures could prevail in what was viewed as an unlikely area fishery
. Since the sale of the store and show, Jack and his brothers have heightened their involvement in the sport they love with their "Buckeye Angler" (PBS, 4years/commercial TV 29/35 in Akron& Cleveland, in their second year)-TV show and new buckeyeangler.com website, both produced by Gary Kiser.
Jack, who received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1977 from Kent State University, recently marked his thirteenth year as Outdoors Editor of the Kent/Ravenna Record-Courier, as the company TV shoots and popular Ohio multi-species instructional fishing videos now account for the bulk of their time. Clearly, when it comes to the outdoors and the appreciation thereof, Jack Kiser, now 57, remains a figure who loves to be told something "can't be done."
Jack was again recently named as one of Midwest Outdoors magazine's most popular writers in their 2009 readers' poll.

The Cuyahoga River is located in Northeast Ohio in the United States. Outside of Ohio, the river is most famous for being "the river that caught fire", helping to spur the environmental movement in the late 1960s...
