Tight lines John..

RIP From a fellow angler.

Used to watch John "hohoho" Wilson with my dad when I was a kid. Sad to see he's gone.

I honestly thought this referred to an old WUS member who was a really decent chap. Now I feel relieved that it isn't him but strangely heartless that I do feel relieved.

[Griswold]

Sad news indeed. Had the pleasure of meeting him in his shop in Norwich many many years ago, before he became famous.

[JeremyO]

Sad news, I often went into his shop and he was always willing to chat and give advice. A lovely man.

RIP loved his programs whilst growing up , his TV work was good as it bought fishing to the masses

[SiSetts]

Tight lines RIP John.

I’ve never been fishing, probably never will, but, fishing programs are a bit of a guilty pleasure and John Wilson was my gateway into them. RIP.

Never really into fishing, but somehow got hooked on watching JW... whiling away hours in a boat, nothing going on, then suddenly, 'hello, we're in" and all systems go...hoho.
Legend. RIP

[Jega]

Yep ,much the same sentiments here .I never got into fishing but never the less found his infectious enthusiasm and knowledge very entertaining .R.I.P.

Seamed to be a really nice man

Legend RIP

[murkeywaters]

For those here that have said they have never been fishing but loved watching John is just a great accolade for how good he was..

And if you have never been fishing just give it a try, a beautiful summers morning on the bank is hard to beat, from there you might even enjoy a cold wet day like I do!!

A fishing legend , RIP .

[Motman]

I read his book once - I think he and his wife were once both hairdressers on cruise ships before he got into fishing.

[MrBanks]

RIP, loved Go Fishing when I was younger.

Terrible news. He got me into fishing as a kid and I still fish now at 41.

Great ambassador.
