Fishing industry colleagues and Hell’s Bay pro team remember Jose Wejebe

           
As the family and friends of Capt. Jose Wejebe prepare for his Celebration of Life memorial this Sunday in South Florida, the outpouring from the boating and fishing communities continued for the popular guide, producer and TV host who was admired for his kindness and recognized for his many charitable efforts, especially in the Florida Keys.

Wejebe, 54, of Summerland Key, died early Friday evening, April 6th, after his single-engine plane he was piloting, crashed shortly after takeoff in Everglades City, Fla.  Weather is believed to have been a factor. He was the respected host of the long-running Spanish Fly fishing show which began in 1995 on ESPN and later on the Outdoor Channel.  
       
Those whose lives were touched by Jose are welcome to attend The Celebration of Life, Sunday April 15th, at 1:30 p.m., at the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) Museum in Dania Beach, Fla.
