History

The Angler and his gang ran a sophisticated diamond smuggling operation on the border between the United States of America and Mexico. Posing as a fisherman on the Rio Grande, he caught fish that were filled with diamonds by his agents south of the border. Their hide-out was in the mountains, equipped with a powerful radar that could make them detect spotter planes and give them time to hide.

After his gang killed three US Customs agents in short succession, Green Arrow and Speedy investigated. After a brief fight, the Angler and his agents were arrested, and his entire network was shut down. Green Arrow kept the Angler's rod and creel as trophies.
