YouTube fishing creator Mikey Rijavec found dead days after mayday call off Mexico coast
Mikey Rijavec’s body was found five days after a distress call off Baja California; a $46,000 GoFundMe supported the multi-agency search including Mexican Navy and U.S. Coast Guard.
- On Nov. 16, Gregory Rijavec announced on GoFundMe that Mikey Rijavec's body was recovered near San Cristobal, Baja California Sur.
- On Nov. 11, Rijavec issued a mayday reporting engine trouble about eight miles offshore before searchers found his 14-foot skiff five miles from shore missing the six-horsepower outboard engine.
- The family launched a GoFundMe that raised more than $46,000 from 552 donations, while Rijavec's SD Fish and Sips YouTube channel has nearly 20,000 subscribers and 550 videos.
- Gregory said the family formally ended search operations on Nov. 15 while noting there were "missing pieces and details to be confirmed" as Mexican Navy updates prompted crews to sweep local beaches.
- Investigators are examining mechanical failure, environmental factors and marine hazards, while a close friend suggested foul play amid the abrupt mayday cutoff and missing engine.
