Sad to hear.  That was one of the few fishing shows worth watching.

The plane was a kit plane he built himself.  I understand kit plane accidents are like seven times higher than commercially built planes.

Jose was always about learning, and taking that new found knowledge to try new things...

Good dude.  RIP...

That's a real bummr.  At least he went doing something he loved.  That comp air 8 is a serious plane.  If he lost power on take off he should had no problem landing it.  Could be a classic case of a stall spin.
