He was a real life Santiago.  Good story. Thx John.

A legend lost. He was a frequent site around Boca/Deerfield in the early ‘80s and was mentioned often in the local newspaper fishing columns, as well as in conversations around the tackle shops and the boat ramp. RIP

He was well known, met the dude many years ago, he was one of the pioneers of kayak fishing around these parts...

He attended a few Extreme Kayak Fishing Tournaments.  Very inspirational.
