Jose Wejebe

Years ago my wife and I went fishing with him and had a great day.

We were anchored and Jose was throwing out live bait and chopped up squid in hopes of bring up a Yellow Fin

I saw a nice wahoo swim right up to the back of the boat and I grabbed the 1st rod that had a wire trace, put a pilchard on and started feeding it line. While I was placing the rod in a rod holder I see that my line is screaming out and Jose is in a mad scamble to release the anchor line.

Here I'm thinking that the wahoo is coming to dinner!!

Jose says it not Mr wahoo but a huge Yellow Fin.

Here I am hooked up to a huge Yelow Fin on a spinner with 20# test.

We chase the fish all over the ocean and the 1st time I was able to bring it close to the boat he tells me it is in the 250+ range and that may be a worlds record on that tackle.

I fight the fish for close to 3 hours bring him close 3 times and all the time Jose is pumping me up on landing that fish.
And let me tell you he did a great job in the motivation department.

Sadly a huge shark showed up just in time to get him 20 feet from the boat.

Even then I still had a great day and brought home some nice muttons and groupers and released 3 sails, quite a day of fishing!!!

What a great guy to know and fish with

sad to think he is gone.
