I must have watched this 20 times or more now! What a fish and what a guy. RIP mate you will be remembered 👏

This man was an absolute legend. Grew up watching him. My brother and I religiously watched his programme. We still go fishing together some 25plus years on and remember his shows and joke about them. Lots of love to the man.

Another gentleman angler down. God bless sir.

Watching John when I was a kid is what gave me inspiration! RIP John. Making the most of the lockdown having a John Wilson day.

A true legend with a infectious laugh RIP JOHN WILSON

To any boy who's dad wasn't an angler John was a pretty good substitute, when I watched his great catches and promptly spent a fortune and managed to catch a gudgeon, it never stopped me or dampened my ambition, what a gift to be paid for enjoying yourself.

Proper carp fishing! Beautiful fish. Sad news this morning about the passing of John Wilson. I loved the way that he could enthuse about a beautiful 2 pound crucian, just as much as he did about this 31 pound mirror carp. A man who understood that all fish species and their different habitats are important.

Loved watching John Wilson when i was a kid 👍

Has he ever owned a net that doesn’t way a pound when it’s wet ? Got to love Wilson

Watching this guy on tv in the 1980’s is what made me want to be a fisherman.

Rest in peace john. Great carp and great life u will be remembered

Brilliant, he was a better fisherman then most people thought, he read the water's and researched it to, back in the day i was in my 20s and watched them all, and used a lot of his tactics and they all worked, Thank you for all you did for fishing and made it what it is today, very sadly missed but never forgotten, Thank you

I often went in his shop in the 80's. We were just high school kids asking about big Tench, Pike and Bream, and John always had time for us.

Watched John religiously as a kid. RIP, mate.

Yes John Wilson brilliant love his programs and same watched this guy for years. I've enjoyed fishing literally for at least 30 years and couldn't get enough of this guy. And as comments above funny with net thing wet net a pound lol I'm sure they more like 3 pound ha ha he has caught some beautiful fish. The ones I like is the pike on the norfolk broads. As a regular its nice to know that their is big pike would love to catch one similar to what he caught. Even the bream in one of his videos I was like wow weighing something like 13 pound wow a bream all double figures. Brilliant rest in peace Mr Wilson will keep watching your content for years to come.

Loved watching this man. His voice reminds me of nights as a bairn watching the night before my own fishing tip. Rarely caught anything but didn’t matter. A hero of mine and full of good memories.

A life in angling RIP John you inspired generations of anglers 🙏

Grew up watching Mr. Wilson. Great entertainer...sadly missed.

Rest in peace John you will be sadly missed in the angling world god bless you 👍🎣🎣🎣

I remember watching these on the telly with my mate. We used to impersonate the old fellas straining sounds. 30 years later Oooerrf reaching for my phone.lol lovely

I think he was the best all round fishermen I have ever her watched ,rip

Grew up watching johnny Wilson everytime I catch a fish I start laughing n talking complete bollox . Scarred for life r.i.p Mr fishing 😢

A sad time , the most popular man of angling and a laugh to match😔😔

What a way to describe the fish’s scales, like beer mats, classic John. RIP sir

I remember this catch well, I was in awe at that carp...you would be lucky for tactics like that to work these day's, I've done plenty of stalking and fish are very wary now from angling pressure

Never over complicated fishing techniques or rigs put the real fun into fishing

Love you John xx Best in the world in my eyes

Even in the afterlife the guy is so fun, plus he knows his stuff, grew up watching his series and just decided to see if youtube had any videos of this fishing genius, lo and behold........
