It is with a heavy heart I say good bye to an icon. Jose had so much influence with my decision to give up fresh water fishing and venture into becoming a salt water fly fisherman. My son and I would wake up on Saturday mornings to watch his show, Spanish Fly. The production of these episodes were so far above any of the other shows. He had such class with how he handled himself and the choice of background music was always enjoyable.
One of my personal goals was to return to Key West and charter a trip on he Spanish Fly. My goal will have to wait.
Jose you were a great influence and an even better person. I did not have the opportunity to meet you but watching you every Saturday I felt I got to know you.
RIP, my Friend.
