Default Sad news...Jose Wejebe dies in single engine plane crash

Sad news…Wejebe was a great guy.

The host of a popular fishing TV show was killed Friday afternoon when
his single-engine plane crashed in Everglades City.

Jose Wejebe, who hosted Spanish Fly, a sal****er fishing show on the
Outdoor Channel and formerly ESPN, died when his kit plane plummeted
into a field near the runway shortly after take-off from Everglades
Airpark. Wejebe is the registered owner of the plane, according to FAA
records.

Cuba-born Wejebe was known for his extensive travels chasing big fish,
which took him from the Gulf of Mexico to the Galapagos.

His ex-wife, Lynne Calero, confirmed that Wejebe died in the crash.
