Meet Captain Christopher Vester

Captain Christopher Vester is the guide behind Lee County Land Based Shark Fishing in Sanibel, FL, and his passion for fishing started at a young age. Growing up around the water, he quickly developed a love for chasing big fish and learning what it takes to land them.
