I love "Spanish fly"- it's sort of a fishy travel show and Jose visits some gorgeous places.
It used to be on at 3:30 am here and I'd have to set the recorder so I could watch him,
I mean it.
errr uh, you know, the show ! 
But really, did you see the color of that water in the video?

Do you guys and gals remember the time his client had a huge tarpon on that wrapped a pier pylon and JW stripped down to his thong, grabbed the rod,
jumped in and swam around the post, handed the rod to his client and landed the fish? Awesome.

I do remember that episode and recall having a couple of thoughts:
1. Man, there's some big fish right next to civilization (the docks) and we should go visit FLA.
2. Ok, is he doing this for the show or would he dive in in real life? It made for some good tv either way.
The shows that come to my mind are the series he did at the Great Barrier reef and one where he took a boy recovering from cancer out fishing for the
Make a Wish foundation.
Did he start on the show with Cliff Pallat? For some reason I associate the 2 guys. That was another show I enjoyed . I'm not a hardcore fishing
person like many of you guys/girls but it was fun going along for the boatride.
I accidentally watched a bass show once and saw what a "real" fishing show was like

Yes - Flip (not Cliff) was his mentor and got him into the guiding bidness. Jose's a pretty good guitarist also.

Jose , et al
That tarpon episode shows what a good guide will go through to get his client the "big one"........
We were at the Cheeca Lodge at Islamorada in the Florida Keys fishing tarpon some years back and stopped at a famous haunt.......a marina called
"Robbies".......you could buy a bucket of bait and hand feed these huge tarpon, they would come up to you and raise their heads out of the water like
hungry puppies! It was quite strange.
Now we need to get Jose to come down to Baja to fish with us......what do you say, muchachas?

Oops, I must have been thinking of cleft palate.
Sorry Flip!
If Jose comes to Loreto I'll need a new pair of Mangrove sungloves (the fingerless kind that Flip wears) cuz mine are looking shabby. Lemme grab my
anti-seasick wrist gizmo and I'll be right over.

Not to mention his new Compair kit plane, the latest "Spanish Fly"
Some guys have all the luck!

I've been to Robbies in the Keys. It's amazing that you can't fool the fish. With those uplooking eyes, they can spot exactly where you throw the
bait. What a gas to have maybe 40 or so BIG tarpon blasting around a small pool for the bait.
I yam what I yam and that\'s all what I yam.
