Episode 67: Steve Kantner - "The Land Captain"

Steve Kantner has one of the greatest fishing spirits I know of,
and his spectrum of ability on and off the water is legendary. For
many decades he’s been known as “The Land Captain”, fishing on
foot, out of his car, in the surf, off piers, canal banks and
canoes, but sadly the great Captain has been grounded, if you will,
because of the debilitating Parkinson’s disease. Steve is famous in
South Florida, and was on my radar well before I produced two
television shows with him. The finished product was one of the most
popular of the thirteen we delivered to the network that year. He
was brilliant, informative, humorous and he was good on his
promises. We caught a pile of fish driving around in his land
vessel, his car. He’s been predominantly a writer most his life,
and has written for many South Florida fishing publications. He
also has a technical background with a degree in science. With all
this in his back pocket, he’s authored four books and wrote the
history of tarpon chapter for, A Passion for Tarpon. Steve is a
fascinating friend who has always been there for many of us, and it
gives me great pleasure to have him on our podcast today...
