José León Urkola, ‘El Txato’, great champion of the Tolosako Arrantzaleak society, has passed away this week. It marked an era with its dominance in the casting modality, highlighting its three National Championships and its innumerable victories in regional and regional championships. Besides being a great fisherman, he was a great teacher in transmitting his wisdom and knowledge to his son José Luis, who has followed behind him and has surpassed him on some occasions to paternal pride.

Fishing was not his only hobby, since woodcocks and their dogs were another of his great passions, where he also accumulated a good number of triumphs. Pedro Gómez president of his society, Tolosako Arrantzaleak, has joined this small tribute to the figure of José León Urkola and has transferred his deep regret for the great loss of this exceptional athlete from Toulouse.
