I first started watching The Spanish Fly with Jose Wejebe when I was in college.

Watching his show was a bright spot in my life especially if I couldn't go fishing. When my wife, Melinda, and I moved to The Florida Keys, we had the honor of meeting him at an event in Key West...

So, being able to record this podcast with his daughter Krissy Wejebe...

Well, it was special and very appreciated

Thanks for watching and enjoy the episode!

On April 6, 2012, the fishing community lost a great angler, icon, and friend, Jose Wejebe, host of the immensely popular saltwater fishing television show, Spanish Fly. Through his show and his adventures, Jose shared his passion for fishing and a lifestyle that touched and inspired anglers around the world.

At the same time, Jose encouraged conservation, leading his viewers by example to take better care of the environment they so enjoy. Jose Wejebe never forgot his humble beginnings or those others that helped him find success. Throughout his life and career, Jose unselfishly donated his time, money and equipment to support countless charities including the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, The Marc House, Wounded Warriors, Big Brothers and Big Sisters and many others. The charitable work seen on his television series, "Spanish Fly", documented only a small portion of his generosity.

Behind the scenes, he quietly assisted with many more charities throughout the world. He did so out of compassion and kindness, and was humbled by those who expressed their appreciation. In order to continue Jose's passion for the marine environment, and dedication to support those who face life-impacting challenges, The Jose Wejebe Memorial Foundation was founded in April 2012. The Foundation will honor Jose's legacy by continuing his charitable efforts. (This copy is from their website.)

Krissy Wejebe, grew up in The Florida Keys immersed in the world of sport fishing, conservation, and the natural beauty of the coastal environment. Her mother worked at The Dolphin Research Center and her dad was a fisherman.

After her dad passed in 2012, Krissy channeled her grief into action by establishing the The Jose Wejebe Spanish Fly Memorial Foundation and also manages The Spanish Fly brand, production and licensing.

Krissy is an avid outdoor enthusiast and spends time on the water with her two sons (AJ and Ryder) and boyfriend "Uncle Chuck." Her personal and professional lives are intertwined by a common thread- profound love of the ocean and a dedication to making a positive impact.

Feat. Phoenix Bowers

1 Hour and 17 Minutes. Zero knots. No apologies.

I sat down with Phoenix Bowers, a guy who's been riding with this podcast for seven years and actually knows what the hell he's doing on the water.

Phoenix doesn't just fish; he executes. His entire game is built on efficiency—stripping away the fluff to make every second on the water count. He's been listening to me tell it like it is since 2019.

We riffed on efficiency of fishing for wahoo and snapper.

You either get it, or you don't.
