Outdoor America is excited to announce a groundbreaking partnership with the iconic fishing brand Spanish Fly, marking one of the largest collaborations in Outdoor America’s history. This partnership honors the legacy of the late Jose Wejebe, legendary angler and host of the beloved saltwater fishing television show Spanish Fly.

Since his passing on April 6, 2012, Jose Wejebe's influence continues to inspire millions of anglers around the world. Spanish Fly was more than a fishing show – it was a celebration of the coastal lifestyle and the thrill of the catch, led by a man who had an unmatched ability to educate and entertain. Jose’s deep connection with his audience created a sense of community for fishing enthusiasts, whether they were seasoned professionals or just starting to explore the sport.

A New Chapter in Jose Wejebe’s Legacy

As part of this exclusive partnership, over 200 episodes of Spanish Fly will be available across Outdoor America's FAST TV, app, and broadcast channels, allowing fans to relive the adventures that defined a generation of anglers. In addition, Outdoor America app users will have direct access to the Spanish Fly store, where they can purchase merchandise and items seen throughout the show’s episodes, further immersing themselves in the Spanish Fly experience.

“Jose Wejebe inspired an entire community, including myself, and this partnership ensures that his spirit and love for fishing will continue to inspire anglers,” said Jamie Wilkinson, former colleague of Jose Wejebe and Executive Vice President of Programming & Production of Outdoor America. “We are honored to bring Spanish Fly to our viewers and celebrate the rich history that it represents.”

??"Fishing unites people across all boundaries - a value my father, Jose Wejebe, championed throughout his influential career. His innovative approach to angling and storytelling revolutionized fishing shows and inspired countless enthusiasts. As we relaunch with Outdoor America, I'm honored to work alongside Dad's former colleagues. Together, we're committed to building on Jose's impactful legacy, an opportunity I embrace wholeheartedly,” says Krissy Wejebe, daughter of Jose Wejebe and Executive Director of the Jose Wejebe Spanish Fly Memorial Foundation.
