Just last month me and my wife was watching Jose and his daughter fishing together on his show. And she was was saying how beautiful it was to see a father and daughter to share the same interest. So she became hooked to say on his fishing shows. So we both were deeply sadden to see that he recently passed away. My thoughts and prayers goes out to his family and to the family of the Outdoor Channel. Whom really lost a voice for Saltwater Fishermen everywhere. RIP Jose. Fishing show host Jose Wejebe killed in plane crash Friday, April 06, 2012 EVERGLADES CITY, Fla. — Authorities say it appears the host of a popular fishing show was killed when his single-engine plane crashed in southwest Florida. The Collier County Sheriff's Office reports that a small plane owned by Jose Wejebe crashed into a field around 5 p.m. Friday, shortly after taking off from an Everglades City airpark. One body was recovered from the wreckage. A medical examiner still has to officially confirm the identity, but investigators believe it was Wejebe. The Cuban-born angler hosted "Spanish Fly," a saltwater fishing show on the Outdoor Channel and formerly ESPN.
I'm sorry to hear that. I used to watch his show on ESPN years ago and really enjoyed it. Prayers for his family as they go on without him.
I hate to hear that, I really enjoyed his show a lot. He was a class act. On the bright side, he was living life to the fullest and died pursuing his passion of fly fishing the world. That just highlights that we all must be ready for that day for we aren't promised tomorrow. "Carpe Diem!"
