Hero

John wasn't just an angler he was THE angler.🎉

Love to retire in Thailand

Great all round angler watched all his episodes made and looked forward to seeing them weekly. R.I.P and thanks for the memories.

I found this video browsing I fished with John a few times had a couple of matches with him what a gentleman timeless memory’s

True Great Legend! Never forget You Sir Wilson!

Loved watching his programmes and love Norfolk too. Sadly he never made it home after finding out what many do, other countries can be great to visit, but living there is something else. Britain is still the most beautiful country in the world and home always ends up where the heart truly is.

He deserved it all, and was gone far too young. The man who shared my angling education with my Dad.

How refreshing rather than most fisherman nowadays just lumping out a bait and doing nothing else. Don't even have to the hook the fish and then just bully them into the net. Also with this type of fishing you get the initial burst once fish is hooked, bite alarm brigade never get that.

Can’t believe he’s no longer with us 😢 I spent hours and hours and hours watching johns tv series reading his books and watching his videos even fishing with his endorsed gear . R.I.P sir i amongst many others will miss you and your chuckles and your genuinely encapsulating viewing , thank you so much for all the years of encouragement 🙏

Lovely seeing that he was still using a rod from his days at Johns Tackle den in Norwich.

I am a little jealous. My hobby lake is 1 acre. In buriram.

Lindo peixe 🐟 irmãozinho parabéns estamos juntos ❤

Got me into fishing rip big man

Wow! I’ve just turned 70 and have lived in the us for 30 years. I remember watching you on TV when I was fishing the fish ponds in Wokingham. My youngest son had a 22 pounder. These are incredible creatures.

i have always liked float fishing even at night with a night light much better than waiting for an alarm and sleeping you miss to much of the nightlife

when your using 50lb braid your not messing about after small fish lol

God bless him. A legend.

I will be there in March for my first go around with my English friend Peter....i cant wait! RIP John...

I never was into fishing whatsoever, but I loved watching this man.

He could have been an MD for a big corporation. He got lucky

RIP John a great fisherman. 👍

if i am honest i prefer the old vids of john wilson these new ones are thing i already know,i like watching and reminising of the old days it maybe selfish ,but i watch jack hargreaves yes its old school but thats what makes it good for me,,,the memories more than the techniques of fishing

I still can’t believe that John’s gone. R.I.P

Wow!! I think my dad fished in the same lake! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4Krl2iMfpx2grM

RIP Master.

Miss you JW, so glad I was able to talk with you one to one at Chatsworth in 2005. Such a big influence on my life, thanks for being an awesome inspiration and fantastic angler, I followed you from day one of your tv programs, even followed in your footsteps to Ireland and Lake Nasser. Taken from us way too soon, rest in peace great man 😔🐟

What a life he had. So lucky to have lived it, and well deserved. RIP

Rest easy John. Your legacy lives on.

Can the public fish there

I miss you John ....

i love float fishing :D

I had no idea John had passed away!!! I'm truly gutted he has!!! I remember watching him fishing for bream on a slider float ! I'd never seen that tactic before an learned how to use it and had some great catches on it ! Wqtche him every week with my Dad great memories ! My thoughts are with his family may you be sat by the bank in Heaven John with that laugh that we all knew and loved ! Never met you but good bye my friend

He sounds so out of breath in a way in this video. Rest in peice John tru inspiration to me and my angling.

Oh wow very nice catch a Big fish 💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏🐟🐟🐟🤗🤗🤗🤗 I love it ♥️♥️♥️

As always a pleasure to the eye grew up watching u and so will my 6 year old son rest in peace x

Legend ......

Dude was a legend. True English gem. Did make me laugh when he says let put him back straight away and proceeds to drop him on the mat😂

❤️❤️❤️❤️

RIP John, you were responsible for the gift of fishing in my life.

I remember his first episode of go fishing back in the day like it was yesterday and he inspired me ever since. All I can say is thankyou John you will live on forever 🎣 ♥

Waoooooo mantap bro Hadirr y

Esta pescando en un criadero de peces eso no es pescar ni es un pescador dejate de joder si tiras un anzuelo en un lugar donde estan enserrados los peces y le dan poca comida es seguro que bas a pescar si o si .

As an avid fan of Go Fishing to this , I followed Johns career and what a legend he was.......RIP John ☺️

R,i,p john always watched you on TV sadly missed

Love the way JW casually describes his tackle. "Size 13 thailand hook. That's about 6 or 8 in the UK. 2 small shot and twelve foot away from the hook is a small insert waggler. Oh! And FIFTY POUND BRAID!" You just know something BIG is going to happen :-))... RIP JW. You've passed down so much fishing and natural history knowledge to so many millions of anglers, both young and old alike. What a dream of a lake too :-))...

Miss you in the world my old Wensum friend.

RIP to a great man. You were an inspiration to so many.

A great thing about John's presenting was how he always explained his methods and showed the tackle he was using and gave reasons why. This was (and still is) really helpful.
