- The fishing community has lost a great angler, icon, and friend. We are deeply saddened by the untimely passing of Jose Wejebe, host of the immensely popular saltwater fishing and fly fishing television show Spanish Fly on the Outdoor Channel. Through his show and his adventures he shared a passion for fishing that touched and inspired anglers around the world.

As a kid I grew up watching Spanish Fly. When I turned 16 my parents decided to move to Key West and all I could think about was getting to fish with Jose. A year later that dream came true. What a legend and amazing human!
Billy Wagner wow lucky u
I miss Saturday mornings during the 90's watching Jose fish with Flip Palot. I think that was the last time I really felt like a kid. What a tragic loss, but what a gift it was even for those of us who just watched Jose from afar. The only thing in this world that will slow the madness of time and aging is fishing with people you enjoy being with. Thanks Jose
+Paul R Awesome post. I feel many of my fishing passions today result from those old ESPN Outdoors Saturdays. RIP!!!
Paul R now we gotta deal with rick Murphy sorry ass always selling shit doesn't even fish really
same here!!! I am 46 now... in 2019... those days were different
@@vmonroig21 lol. So true
What a great post and an even better way to remember a man who truly felt alive in the outdoors. I remember sittin in front of the TV Saturday mornin whatchin Jose do his magic and I still find myself comin back and watchin his old shows. RIP Jose ur truly missed my friend
Spanish fly was me and fathers favorite fishing show while I grew up on the water in south Florida, my father passed about 5 years ago, these episodes just hit different now… I will always cherish sat mornings watching Jose with my father(the weekends we weren’t on our boat)
In high school Spanish class my Spanish name was Jose and my buddy was Wajebe. That shows shaped how I fish even today
I was shocked to hear Jose passed. He is my favorite angler and his show the best. Always calm and cool. I learned a lot from him. There simply is no one like him, he will be missed by millions.
How do thirteen people dislike this? Wife and myself have been fishing the waters of Tampa Bay and the keys for some time and I contribute a large part of our success to watching Spanish Fly.
While I’m a decade or more late to the show, I’m so glad to have found the videos of Jose Wejebe. His passion is infectious and his knowledge is a real treasure.
What a show. I'm 47 and have seen them all. Best show ever. Spanish Fly helped change my life . Moved to Fla. In kindergarten. I can picture Jose kickin' it w JESUS. He made comic books look ordinary. 🦁.. great work making this, thanx. S/V Simple Pleasures
I am sad to here of the loss. I never met Jose but feel like I've lost a friend. He and his show have been a part of my life since 1995. I would watch Spanish Fly in the morning while getting ready to go fishing here in Hawaii and think one day I will get to fish the flats in Key West. Last summer I fished the Keys it was awesome. My dream came true because of a great person cared enough to share his passion with me on Saturday mornings. Jose will be remembered forever.
Jose was a gem of a human being...full of zest for life and adventure. I remember watching his TV shows in the 90's on ESPN. I believe they were on Saturday mornings and I would never miss an episode. I especially enjoyed the times when Jose and Flip got together...two very special fishermen. Thanks for the memories, Jose. You will always be loved for your craft and smile. Gone, but not forgotten. phillyman ~
Watching The Spanish Fly as a young kid, I didn’t grasp just how special Jose was. One of the coolest dudes of all time.
Thank you for everything, Jose. You will be missed dearly by everyone here at YETI Coolers. Que en paz descanses.
I guess it is never too late to pay tribute to Jose. I didn't know about his accident until recent. I used to record his shows on VHS, still have them, and still watch them. I think Jose has shown the fishing and non-fishing community, what the passion is all about. His understanding and dissemination of the natural world in which us fisherman enjoy, is truly a pleasure to watch. Cheers to Jose Wejebe for sharing your life with us.
Best show on tv and the only one i watch religiously ever week from as far i back as i can remember. Will miss you jose. Rest in peace buddy.
I am 15 and looked forward to watching spanish fly on the days i wasnt fishing. jose has changed my entire aspect on the ocean. with his passing it has made me realise be all you can be and never give up. RIP and god bless
I watched this every Saturday morning on ESPN. What a great person and a great person. It stinks that he's gone!
I grew up with him since ninth grade. we had some good times..he also worked with flipper's and salty the sea lion for the old TV show's as a trainer. Jose and I and some other friends would go snake hunting out in the glades also. His dad had a cool place on Fisher island before they built it up. we had some great parties. you could only get there by boat. I miss you bro.
greatest fisherman ever.I started fishing at his age for snook in the west palm beach spillways.Then it was when i seen his show for the first time.i realized there was more to fishing then catching fish.It was about freinds family the love of being outdoors.I used to miss the morning bite just to see his show. But now on weekends i watch one of his old shows before i set out. Tomorrows first fish is for buddy. thank you for all you have tought me.
Without question, Jose was one of a kind and will be greatly missed.
I remember by Saturday mornings watching Jose as a kid....
People like Jose, Flip, Larry Dahlberg.... these men are are/were what you call real fishermen with a real passion for fishing and sharing their knowledge. I remember when Jose died, I felt like a part of my childhood was taken away.. A life cut way too short. Looking back I realize that you have to enjoy life. Don't be afraid to go out and do the things you love to do. Work hard and take some time for yourself. Once life is over, nothing goes with you. Jose's life was a life not wasted for sure.
we need more of Jose, there's alot of crap on youtube and this man is an inspiration and a great teacher
One of my favorite shows I met him at the Hartford fishing show we asked if he would fish the CCA tournament on the Ct river then I had him autograph a CCA sticker I still have it
I was 14 Years old living in the Dominica Republic when I saw the show for the first time, since then i fell in love with fishing even to this day and after few tours to IRAQ is the only thing i can do to keep my mind of things. thank you Jose for being an awesome mentor, guide, and entertainer , may God be with you. " valla con Dios mi amigo"
man he hooked me deeper into flyfishing than ever from the first show,the quality A&V,the choice of drop dead music,and after all that the flytying lesson,,what a bright moment he was.
I was blessed to have met Jose, in the Keys. He was so down to Earth. Gave me great advice to catch my dream fish one day. He is missed.
Well said!
Excellent memorial for Jose. I looked forward to Saturday morning to see his show The Spanish Fly on ESPN. Great guy, who share his passion and love for the sea with all of us. My deepest sympathy for his family! God bless you! Jose we will miss you! RIP.
Hall of Fame fisherman and human being. RIP Jose. We miss you!
Thank you Jose.
🙏
God DAMMIT....I grew up watch Jose. I have been out of the fishing industry for some years. How did I just find out about this? man, I am out of it. Saddened today.
So sad. That man was amazing and it was an honor to grow up watching him. Rest in peace jose
I haven't been around saltwater for a couple years now, but I haven't given up fishing. I had a catfish get stuck behind a wall two days ago, thought of Jose, and jumped into the water, rod in hand. Best fish of my life, though not the biggest.
SO So Sad...He lived a great life a wonderful life doing what he loved to do. Rest in peace in the big blue tight lines....
So sorry to hear about Jose. Spanish Fly was one of my favorite shows.
I met Jose one night in Venice,LA It was 11-12 pm. Right before he passed. Awful weather. I was cleaning tuna. He had struck out. He was using jigs and we were using live mullet. He took the time to show me some tips. I’m 6’4”. He’s 5’5”? I was in the shadow of a giant. I remember his easy voice telling me what I could do better. Weird… I wish he was here and god bless Flip.
I forgot I still have the photo from that night. I’ll post it
My favorite TV show host for 16 years, he is greatly missed. Prayers for his family. Rest in peace Jose. 8-(
The Best fishing show! You can put Jose up there with the Greatest of fishermen. Zane Grey, Ernest Hemingway and Jose Wejebe! The Spirit of the Spanish Fly will live on! RIP Jose...
Jose, i added you on facebook about a year ago. And ever since, you have talked to me, shared stories with me, and even told me a little bit about playing guitar. Im only 15, and you have inspired me to fall in love with fishing. I just want to say thank you!
I used to live for watching these shows with my old man. As an avid fisher, diver and pilot; it would have been an honor to run into Jose. Thankfully his memory is preserved in some incredible stories and fishing adventures. Wish we still had some great shows like this that highlight the incredible range of fishing in and around FL
This man lived a dream and shared it with all of us. bless him.
Man I miss this show
I still miss watching Jose he seemed like your brother and his kindness was above all others in his arena.

Every Saturday morning I would turn ESPN Outdooors on to see The Spanish Fly and just dream of going to the Keys to fish. That day came years later and after a day of fishing I looked back at all those days of watching Jose and understood his love of the Keys.
Tight lines, fair winds, and following seas Jose.....Thank you.

The best there ever was for fishing hosts.
He was (is) one of a kind. I have been watch the Spanish Fly (and Vida Del Mar) and have been faithfully watching since the beginning (ESPN 1996 - Outdoor channel 2013). To me, it is (and will always be) the best saltwater fishing show ever!! RIP Jose, your star continues to shine.
I FOR ONE, SURE AS HELL - MISS HIM.
Miss his show RIP🙏
In '96-'97 Jose filmed an episode in San Diego, CA. His flight home was out of John Wayne airport in Orange Country and he was booked on a Cloud 9 Shuttle from SD to the airport. I was assigned the run and had the great pleasure of driving him there from SD which took about 90 minutes. I told him every joke I know (which is a lot!) and had him laughing all the way. Even tho his prepaid fare included a $20 tip he handed me another 20 bucks in cash. Classy guy. RIP Jose.
the man, the legend

El Pescador, the master. I was at Jose's memorial and I can't tell you how strong the emotions were on that day. For all of us who were touched by his life it is our duty to share his enthusiasm and passion for the environment and responsible fishing practices. I used to say "tight lines" when I signed off. I now say "What would Jose do?"
Jose, you have been someone I have looked up to since I was a child! You are missed!
I have always been in love with fishing, but one Saturday morning I turned on ESPN Outdoors and watched Spanish Fly for the first time. Now, I have a fishing bucket list thanks to the inspriation of Capt Wejebe. Thank you for being a portal to the Big Blue Ocean.
"Fishing will change your life".
who the hell gives this man a thumbs down
It has been 6 years...R.I.P. Jose.
AND THA IS WHAT WE DO,THANK YOU JOSE FOR ALL THE LESSONS,TIPS AND TRICKS TAUGHT TO ALL OF US,I WILL DEFINITALY MISS YOU,BUT I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN,REST IN PEACE BRO
I wish he'd stayed away from flying, but can't change that now. what a life he led!
I have love watching this wonderful man fish and treat others with respect. The fishing community has lost a gian. RIP Jose!!!!!
Jose was definitely unbelievable he made everything believable rip my man
Praise to one of the greatest fishing souls on the planet and prayers to the Wejebe Family....
Heavy!!!!! I did not know Jose but his story is very inspirational. I did watch his shows before his passing and loved his knowledge and he was very entertaining to watch. He looked like a great person and was fun to be around. Wish their were more people like him in the World today.
RIP brother you were the best fisherman in the u.s u helped me a lot with knots and rigging. ;(
I miss Sunday mornings, laying on the couch and it snowing in January in New York. Jose took me away from the cold and let me dream about far away places.
A great video for a great man,... RIP Jose.
this makes me cry, he was a great inspiration to me .... I am 46 now... and this man has been such a valued part of my world .... I share a common way with Jose and I am glad to be able to share a moment with Jose again but even better with all of you who loved him also ... 💙🤙😊🌎
im 51 now lol
thanks for sharing all that amazing knowledge with your audience Jose. TX
Jose was a stud .
Sad to see someone so full of life, go way too soon.
This sounds like Tommy Sanders... I remember when he used to host ESPN Out Doors, and would intro the shows like Fly Fishing the World, The Spanish Fly, etc.... OMG Jose! I didn't even know... He will sorely be missed by the minions of Fly Fisherman around the world he brought joy too... something different to experience... That was Jose Wejebe'. You will be missed my brother!
Miss you Jose you were the MAN!! Loved watching your show!! RIP buddy!!
I'm right with you, man, at 15, Jose has taught me more about fishing and life than just about anybody I know. He will be missed by you, me, and everybody else whose lives he had touched. Rest in peace Jose, hope the fish are biting in Heaven
Miss yea buddy!!!!! tight lines, til we meet again,.... Save me a spot near the mangroves!!!!!!!
My favorite angler on traveled to the Great Blue. I have learned so much from him and he will be missed. RIP Jose.

José led us fishermans a way to respect and love our oceans and all its creatures,and learn friendship is as important as fishing.Now José you got the big fish,send us one once in a while...
