The body of Mikey Rijavec, a San Diego fisherman and popular YouTuber, was recovered off the coast of Mexico, his family announced on GoFundMe.
Rijavec, who ran the channel “SD Fish and Sips,” was on a solo fishing trip near Baja California on Nov. 11 when he issued a mayday call. According to his family, engine trouble caused his boat to flip after the motor came loose, though he managed to right the skiff, which had taken on water. Details of what happened afterward remain unclear.
U.S. and Mexican authorities joined the search, which included boats and aircraft, while the family also hired private vessels and planes. The U.S. Coast Guard later transferred the case to the Mexican Navy. After several days, Rijavec’s body was found on Sunday near San Cristobal, a day after his family officially ended the search.
In a statement on GoFundMe, the family said, “Mikey was mindful and present every day, and that allowed him to live a longer life than can be measured on a calendar… if we live by his example, we will not only be OK, we will be better.”
