April 07, 2012 Jose Wejebe Dies in Plane Crash The popular 'Spanish Fly' host was killed in the single-engine plane crash on friday. We are saddened to confirm reports that popular angler and 'Spanish Fly' host Jose Wejebe died yesterday afternoon in a plane crash in southwest Florida. He was 54. According to reports, Wejebe was flying a single-engine Comp Air 8 kit plane when it crashed soon after takeoff from Everglades City around 4:45 p.m. "Everything Jose did, he did well," said John Brownlee, editor in chief of Salt Water Sportsman, "whether guiding, or starring in his award-winning TV show. He touched a lot of people's lives and elevated our sport far beyond where it was only a few years past. He will be missed by a great many people, for a great many different reasons." Cuban-born Wejebe was a colorful and popular personality in the fishing community and host of the long-running 'Spanish Fy' fishing show, which has been on the air since 1995. He is leaving behind 28-year-old daughter Kristin Wejebe. Please join us in offering our condolences to Jose's family and fellow friends. .
