Jose's "Last One."

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 เม.ย. 2016
- It was the one species of fish Jose pursued more than any other. In over 16 years of Spanish Fly he did over 30 shows fishing for them. It never mattered about the size, it was about the hunt. From a young age the tarpon fascinated him. So it was fitting that in April of 2012 Jose would shoot the last show of his life stalking one final Tarpon. This is that show.

One of the greatest. Watched his show every week. 😢
This Gem of a Man was the inspiration behind all of my fishing endeavors and dreams. I have watched this "Last One" over 20 times and it still pulls at my heart! What a classy gentleman. Cheers Jose
Really ironic that this was his last show filmed. At 2:04 while doing the interview, the boat behind him is named "Last One II". Gives me chill bumps. I loved watching his shows. Thanks for posting.
As a young angler living in Kentucky very far away from saltwater I gobbled up everything I could about a style of fishing that was as foreign to me as China or France. My window into that amazing world was the TV program Spanish Fly. I hung on every word that Jose said, every fish he missed and of course every fish he landed. Now I'm an adult and fortunate enough to have fished from the Gulf of Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico and many, many places in between....I really believe that part of that is because of Jose. His show and mostly his enthusiasm allowed me to think about things bigger than myself and my small world and dream big dreams .... Thanks Jose. You're still missed.
The only fishing show where the host doesn't come off over the top. Just a nice calm fishing show where the host is so passionate about fishing. Hate that we lose people like this
Spanish Fly and Walker’s Cay Chronicles were must-see fishing shows on ESPN.
It really hit me hearing him say "life is good" on that last catch. Enjoy every moment my friends. From one moment to the next, it becomes "life was good", and we become a memory. RIP Jose.
I watched Jose growing up, he was so different from everyone else as he brought Zen into fishing.
I keep coming back to watch this. Lump in my throat, yet a smile on my face.
This man did so much for me to tune into nature, outdoors and fishing...Thank you Jose, you surely made youre mark, God Bless...
Hard to believe it’s been that many years. Miss watching, listening and learning from him.
That hook placement was god giving him that last fish.
Truly one of my heroes. Cant tell you how many times I would watch spanish fly and immediately head out on the water after the show. Thank you so much for putting this video up. RIP Jose
"Fear not death, but rather never living your life."
What?? Does that mean live ya life in a way that could possibly get yu killed?? Im serious. Plz help me u derstand.
@@ericpitre4031 read it two or three time’s it will make sense.
I dig it now. Had a 💜transplant 2yrs ago, and Now I dont wanna miss a thing.🤙Kinda like the aerosmith song. Be Kewel annTY for opening my eyes👀
He was a huge inspiration in my fishing career. Such a wonderful person. Miss him.
This was my go to show, cried when I heard of his passing.....
I remember him from ESPN 2 in the 90's as a kid. Now in my late 30's, I finally bought a boat and plan on taking it to Florida soon. He really got me into saltwater fishing.
Spanish Fly made me fall in love with saltwater light tackle fishing. I’ll never forget an episode where Jose took his daughter to the Bahamas to fish for bones. When my daughter got old enough we did the same.
It was a great life memory for us both.
Thank you Jose!
This show was one of the best. Jose was the man
For years I watched Jose fishing the keys and always told myself I would one day be down there to feel what he felt. My first trip was on my honeymoon and went flats fishing out of Key West and the hook was set. I have fished out of Islamorada for the past 6 years with my son and I understand his passion. I saw this episode before with a friend of mine and when Jose ended his narrative and the words "three hours later......" appeared on the screen my friend and I were both in tears.
I fish from Cheeca Lodge every year and paddle around thinking what would Jose do, what would he be using? I miss his shows during the cold Connecticut winters. I sit on the Cheeca dock at night fishing now understanding why he felt so strong about the Keys and fishing. It is a connection only few can make.
Fair winds and following tides Jose; thank you for making me make he journey to the Keys and experience it with my son.
Brings back so many fond memories of waking up to watch the Spanish Fly before school with my dad, then going out and fishing with him. Miss you Jose.
I am a 21 year old Tampa native finishing school and with aspirations of becoming a guide. Jose Wejebe is more than an inspiration he is an idol to people like me I can't even put it in words. These videos almost bring me to tears and I never even knew the guy. I am so sorry he passed away, but know that you leave your legacy behind and his is outstanding. RIP jose
Ander Etxegoien well said my friend. God bless!
You finish school yet? I’m making a plan to get over to Florida this next year.
Word dude.I still have a email Jose sent me.I cherriich it.His insight and the way he related fishing for life.
So glad you shared this Krissy. I met your dad and got to hang with him many years ago in Clearwater, Florida. He gave me some of the best advice which I am so grateful for and still use to this day. I do miss him very much and I can only imagine you and your family's loss of such a great human being. The world does shine a little less brightly without him here. Wishing you much joy & happiness.

AMAZING THANK YOU FOR THIS GIFT
I grew up watching the Spanish Fly. Jose had great impact on my life as a fly fisherman. What a loss! He was the best.
You are, and always will be an inspiration Jose...RIP
What is the irony in the making of his last vid was in front of the boat in the background, Last One 2.
It’s really nice to see him so happy with his last fish. Died far too young but he was obviously in a good place in the days leading up to his death...so at *least* there’s that. RIP Jose ✌️
I miss this very pleasant man; just watched one of the new shows--I won't say which one, but they were acting like jack-asses, no reverence for nature, or the fish, absolutely no humbleness. No awe in the presence of nature, the great outdoors, and it made me instantly think of the polar opposite, Jose who always took the time to appreciate, to share, to educate. From big things to little things. I recall--just one anecdote, showing how to take a mono leader that was kinked, tie the hook to a post, and pull out the kinks which is easy--but I had never thought of that, after years of fishing, rig tying and so forth. He was gentle, and good and is so missed by many of us. He seemed to genuinely love the outdoors, the fish, the people, just being alive. A good example--rest well Jose.
I remember this day like it was yesterday. I’d wake up early on Sunday mornings make coffee and watch this show weekly for 15 years. Just having the coffee, the tv to myself at 730am seemed like I was fishing with him. Now, I get the same excitement fishing with my daughter and seeing her passion for it reminds me of Jose and watching his show. We’ll spend 12-14 hours on a trip and most likely she’s still wanting to fish more. Ha! Miss that guy tremendously
I remember the episode where Jose was hand feeding sailfish.
I was truly inspired and in 2005 had a similar experience hand feeding cobia from my boat , four miles offshore in a 14 ft skiff, Jose on my mind the whole time.
It was truly a blessing and magical experience.
The Spanish Fly lives on !
I'm in my late 30's. He was very influential to get me into fishing. Enjoyed watching him growing up. God bless him and his family.
I'm so blessed to have met Jose and spoken with him. He's a man that I will miss forever. Thank you Jose for sharing your passion of fishing and just being a kind person. God bless you my friend!
Just past this show and the series on to my 14 year old son. Thank You Jose for your continued inspiration. A $25 donation just sent. Yes you are missed.
Whoa, this man was some kind of special. Gone way too soon, his passion for fishing and the environment will live on through his foundation.
This absolutely broke my heart and made me cry. I loved watching him when I was younger and heard that he passed from cancer and was so bummed. Well while watching this today and thinking - how could this be his last show and his last fish when he looks so healthy and then seeing it was in a stupid plane crash, well it just broke my heart. Unbelievable of the out of body signs that he gave us - him getting emotional at the end and saying how nice it was fishing with friends. And then of course the boats name behind him. God's signs for sure. What are the chances of that boat being right behind him with that name? RIP Hose, you were a great man and taken way to soon......
I had no idea, I watched Spanish Fly every week. Got out of fishing in 2013 and now getting back in so this vid was recommended. Really liked Jose, he always seemed like the guy that was so easy to get along with. My sincere condolences to his family and entire fishing community.
Just thought of Jose and clicked on this video. I miss him, his smile, his outlook, and his show. PJB 10/19/22
I have never been one of those people that get attached to a celebrity. I still often wonder how people get so emotional over people that they have never met. This was my one exception. Jose was a brilliant angler, guide and story teller. He connected with us in the fishing community to the point that we all felt like we did know him. And from what I have read of him, he would have cared for each of us had we ever met. Still a hard loss to take.
2021. Just wanted to hear Jose talk fishing.
Jose God bless you and your family show was the best
That is a beautiful morning. Here in NC a morning like that
comes occasionally and in warm months the sand gnats make you get gear in boat and that in water to get out away from 89 bites a second and driven insane lol.
Jose , Flip and Lefty helped my fly casting finese more than they know although another class or two wouldn't hurt.
Thanks guys Flipster, RIP Jose and Lefty , I was taught some , by the best.
I spent many many Sunday mornings in my younger days laid back in recliner watching those early shows. Jose was groomed by Flip on his production skills and they're both legends at that and fishing. RIP bro.
This was me and my father’s favorite fishing show while I grew up on the water in south Florida…. My dad passed away a couple years ago, now these episodes just hit different
That "Last One" was sure special. Sure do miss you and your style Jose! Heaven became a lot richer in spirit with your arrival and your soul & spirit is still busy touching so many of us back here on earth. Thanks for the beautiful & magical fishy memories Jose'. Hope to meet up with you again and swap some olde fish stories and pick on some fine six strings some day on the other side bro.
I still think about Jose and what a loss to the fly fishing and fishing community here in Florida. He is and will ever be remembered! Tight Lines in Heaven and Rest in Peace, Jose!
Hard to believe its been almost 9 years. Jose was such an inspiration to my fishing passion!!
Grew up watching Jose and major fan. Actually down in the Dominican Republic right now on vacation fly fishing for bonefish and permit and thought about the Spanish Fly. Prayers and condolences for you!
A true legend!! Missed by many. I remember in my younger years watching his shows on the weekends and being inspired to enjoy the fishing way of life.
Jose you and Bob popovics will always be my mentors really miss your show learned so much from you God bless now you can fish in perfect weather all the time thanks for the memories ✌
Grew up watching Spanish fly every Saturday morning Jose was so inspiring turned me into the fisherman I am today the way he spoke and how he sat in the meditation position was so cool I wish his family all the best and I know for sure his legacy will always live on in all of us thanks Jose and hope calm winds and tight lines till eternity my brother we will meet someday.
Grew up watching Jose always loved the show. Saw him at an outdoor show as a kid he was friendly and polite. RIP.
Fish in Paradise
I remember the day when I heard about Jose' losing his life. I'm sure he is fishing in the greatest fishing hole of them all "in heaven". Fish in peace Jose'.
We were there that weekend when they were filming this show. That's our neighbor Teddy Jurasic that builds tibor reels. We talked to Jose a couple of times during the weekend. We left Sunday afternoon and heard the sad news Monday morning that Jose had crashed his plane taking off from Everglades City airport. A great guy to the end.
I hope ur in the clouds, catching endless fish in the sky friend!! RIP Jose.....The best to ever do it. Jose was a awesome man that always made u smile. And just the way he made u feel good inside was just awesome. Legend
This show said it all, I have know words to explain how I feel, I feel blessed that I did get to meet Jose. Hope I see you when I am gone, I am sure we will fish together!!!!
So sad I love this show Jose was all MAN - !!!!! WHAT A SHOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hung out with Jose in the Keys... he showed me a lot within a few hours. I love his fishing style. I miss you Jose.
I just watched the final episode of the, "Spanish Fly" and it brought tears to my eyes. I had the pleasure of fishing with him in a Chuck Lamar tournament for the Tampa chapter of the Piediactric cancer association in the late 90's. What a great guy to spend time with. So many stories and laughs on a tough day of fishing. Horrific cold, windy, rainy day in Tampa, Florida. It would have been very for him to pass on the trip. He couldn't do it to the kids ! Watching him catch his last tarpon especially when it became faul hooked on the dorsal fin was really something. 3 hours later he was gone. A Gentleman till the end.🎣🎣🎣
A lot of the grief I felt learning of Jose's passing, subsides a little when I watch these wonderful episodes. It is the magic of video and film, as well as what fishing and being out in the outdoors could do for your life. Big thanks to Jose's family and friends who keep Jose memory so enduring and meaningful .
Watching Jose’s fishing shows really got me into fishing. I remember the sad news of his plane crash. When I was younger I would travel to the keys and I would see his boat docked with the coolest name.
The Spanish Fly.
Way better than any "pro staff" fishing TH-camr. This man had it figured out.
Miss you Jose!
Krissy...the fly fishing world lost a good friend. That is a great last cast Video. Best regards...
The last one reminds me of the movie Brian's song Jose was always an inspiration of life
Just watched this episode - incredible. I was and still am such a huge fan of Jose. You can see (what appears to be) him wiping his eyes as the clip fades. When fishing always ask yourself - WWJD - What Would Jose Do? RIP!
Always have a spot in my heart for Jose. His shows and personality spoke to me so much.
Best man to watch and learned so much from him. Truly missed. God bless
Rest in Peace Jose.... can’t believe it’s been 8 years.
Man what a legend....
Finally made it to Key west couple of year ago to target Tarpon. Contacted Capt Mike W. from Jose's Spanish fly site. Coupled of days before the charter Capt Mike told me that I'll be fishing with this guy that's a blast to be with and will work hard for your fish. Well he busted his butt to get me and my buddy to hook up. We got our tarpon!! 45min fight on a 85pounder. We had to land him quick as we thought there was a shark around. An hour before I asked he ever had a chance to meet Jose from Spanish fly he said "yeah, great guy. I'm also marrying his daughter." Thanks Capt Dave!(Grateful Dave Charters)All in the family, great day. Thanks for this episode too.
This was a tough episode to watch. However, ive seen it 6 times. RIP
Always wondered what happened to the show, I just thought he retired. Used to love watching it. RIP Jose.
Jose was my information in the 90's on the Spanish Fly,, I got a flats boat a month before his passing,I hurt the Day i heard my flats hero passed on,,,I still own that flats rig and proceeded to kick ASS,..
One man I would have liked to have met...
Wonderful video and such a terrible loss. So much life!
Rest in Peace Jose. You were one of my fishing heros and I hope to see you one day.... but not yet! Your memory and fishing will live on in all of us though!
Paying our respects to a legend. #ForeverJose
Miss you my friend

So sad to lose such a fishing icon and humble man. I always looked forward to watching his show every week. Thanks for the memories 👍🏼.
Rip good man.
We still miss him a great deal.

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day show a man how to fish and and he'll be hooked for life , thanks Jose !
"Jose Wejebe is so good, he lassoed the fish" Love it!
The GOAT. Miss having you around Jose.
Jose was one of my favorite fisherman. Not just for his amazing angling skills, but the pure passion he had for the sport (and the pursuit of fish). God bless.
He looked to the sky after the release as if to say thanks to the heavens for another beautiful fish.i don't think there was ever a man so at ease in his element.a truly inspirational man.
One of my fishing idols and always will be. thank you for keep uploading videos
