On Outdoor Network now

yeah- caught that earlier today. will be on tomorrow too.

I saw the show by DRV and it confirms that Jose was THE MAN
I've watched the show since the 90's, he really had a way

what a life he had, he wanted to be the best and he was

gone way too soon


RIP

I have had his show DVR'ed for years...I just watched the tribute.
I have never met the guy but he was the best.

We did cross paths once though. He was fishing in my backyard, literally, in Sengekontacket pond with a local guide. I had a seacraft moored in the pond then and saw a flats boat and a camera boat pass by. (which was odd because there is not much boat traffic back in there)As we passed by each other both of us waved at each other at the same time. It took me a moment to put it all together and didn't realize it was indeed him until later in the morning when I heard he was shooting on the vineyard and he was fishing my pond. Later in the year I saw the segment in TV.

I have two favorite episodes one was when he went to the coral sea and fish on the mothership Nomad (and was a contributing factor on how I named my boat, because I thought that was a really cool name for an expedition fishing boat) The other was when he went to the Seychelles and caught some of the coolest fish ever.

His show was the best fishing show ever done on TV. It was not all about fishing, he got into the culture, the people, the local environment and took you along on the adventure and fishing was the common bond which brought them together. No wonder so many people liked him and his show. There is not an ounce of "charlie moore" in this guy, its not about showmanship or boisterousness. He was a true sportsman who loved the sea and brought it into each of our living rooms.

I will miss him and I never even met him, but I feel like he is my friend.

Well said....
The way he told the story of each trip... I enjoyed as much as the fishing.

I was fortunate to have fished with him twice ... he was always on his game, cool yet super focused ... the first time the weather was certainly curbing our original plans ... we did a variety of things, but what struck me mostly was that he was always taking advantage of whatever the situation called for ... the fishing was good too ... the second time the weather was great and we fly fished behind the shrimp boats for black tuna, moved on when the little tunny moved in, and then worked a few wrecks for cobia on fly ... his energy and ability to ensure each situation was the best it possibly could be was uncanny.

He seemed to be a guy who lived his life as he wanted ... to it's fullest. A great person to emulate.

He also was always willing to help out on anything that most people requested ... many of the posts you see on Facebook from people who knew him in Florida, he was always lending a hand. A true loss.

wish i had outdoor channel. Jose's show was what i looked forward to every sunday morning on ESPN2 when i was younger, wake up early before church and watch it. He seemed like a great guy and I am sure he was, he will be missed

He was a fisherman's fisherman. Always excited to be out there. Will definitely miss him.

here's the link in case anyone didnt take the time to watch the video yet. very well done, seemed like a terrific guy. RIP

i need to watch it on you tube or similar as I don't get OLN. it was a great show. used to make sure I watched in every morning on ESPN in the early years.

It's a well-done tribute ... Ross was that done by your friend Trevor Gowdy? I recognized the voice, but could not remember who it was.

No. That was not Trev's voice.

Just a comment, how bout at 8:33 when he's fishing for red bass in australia and jumps in after the fish after it gets into the coral and brings it back up.... with a pencil popper... beast mode
