I sit down with Steve Kantner, famously known as the 'Land Captain'. Steve shares everything from his 30-year career as a fishing guide in South Florida to incredible stories of close encounters with wildlife, including an attack by a Florida panther.
From discussing the introduction and impact of exotic fish species to recounting memorable adventures on the Tamiami Trail, Steve's tales are both riveting and informative. If you're interested in fishing, wildlife, and an insight into the life of an experienced guide, this is a must watch.
