Capt. Tanner's father bought him his first boat when he was 10 and the captain has been hooked ever since. He has grown up in and around the water and loves fishing. The thrill of the drag screaming and the excitement and anticipation of seeing the fish as you fight it in is what drives Capt. Tanner to do his best to put people on fish.
