Rex Hunt Fishing Adventures | Series 5 Episode 13 | Rex and John Wilson MBE special

Folks in this episode Steve Starling and I were honoured to be invited to fish with a fishing icon.
Legendary angler, author and television presenter John Wilson MBE invited us to his home and private lake in the UK. He took us both on a tour of his property and Steve fished with John and caught his first Common Carp.
John wrote over twenty books on the art of angling and produced countless television fishing programs. Sadly John passed away at his home in Thailand in November 2018.
His bubbly, enthusiastic personality inspired a generation to pick up a rod and go fishing.
Vale John Dennis Wilson MBE

This has been an absolute joy to watch again after so long. I was watching some modern Aussie TH-cam stuff and thought no-one ever did it like Rex, Bushy and Steve. Fantastic to see John again and very saddened to hear of his death, he was a proper good bloke. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great hang over material

I miss jhon Wilson so badly & how he used to share all to so many, I almost wet myself when bushy called him sir jhon 😂 he didn't have to say as an mbe doesn't carry that title, but the world at this time had honest people with buckets of respect. Jhon was definitely the highest ranking mbe & still is to this day, his charity of laughter & ability to lure you in is still evident today. 😭

How old is this episode? I was looking for the intro theme to show it to a friend, and I'm happy that I found this video. I remember it since i was a kid, and it's a kind reminder that now... we are old.

I think 1999 Alexandru. Thanks for your support mate. Rex

Let’s get a few episodes up of Bushy fighting trevally, on his famous Black Death spiral bound rod, Rexy😊👍

[@RexHuntFishingAdventures]

Hey Steve, yeah it's an interesting outfit isn't it? But it always produced the goods. Keep watching this channel and standby for Rex Hunt Fishing Adventures Live! Coming to a device near you. Rex

Rex Hunt Fishing Adventures still remember that segment with Starlo and Bushy in the NT. Starlo got smoked on his heavy fly rod and Bushy bent the Black Death to breaking point after his trevally got scoffed. Stand out episode for me😊👍
