Episode 43: Capt. John Donnell - Life of "Dozer"

I’ve always had great affection for being in John Donnell’s
presence. When I first met him over 30 years ago he was affable
with a heart felt care for how well he was received... It’s
important for him to be liked and loved he is, by all. Many of us
came to know John though Flip’s “Walker's Cay Chronicles,” as he
was a guest on the show more than any other. When I asked Flip
about his good friend, he said that John’s greatest trait was that
he’s reliable - “He’d jump onto the table to give you a kidney if
needed....” Whether poling an edge for hefty tarpon, pushing the
shallow flats of Louisiana for 40 pound redfish or pulling the
trigger of a shotgun, Donnell was born a child of the outdoors,
destined to roll through life with the wind in his face chasing big
stuff. John has seen the great evolution of the the Florida Keys,
from its prolific fishery to the halcyon years of drug running. On
today's podcast, our friend relives his vivid, adrenaline filled
life. Thank you John for your honesty, and willingness to tell your
story with us...
