Epic, this was one episode i allways remembered watching when i was young, thank god for youtube. Rest in peace my all time fishing hero..... Legend John Wilson.
One of those occasions where you could more than once sense the irritable nature of the man. Nevertheless John Wilson will be missed for his infectious enthusiasm for fishing. Through these videos he has been, and will continue to be, a true inspiration to so many anglers, young and old. R.I.P
I was lucky enough to be on that trip - it wasn't as big as they said. Having said that, we caught a couple of bigger fish next day - they were weighed at 45 & 55lb. Did another trip with him a couple of years later and we caught a really big one - bottomed out the 60lb scales and was most likely closer to 80lb. BIG fish!
haha will never forget watching this on TV...absolute classic! "The rod's gone!" epic.

He was a grumpy old bugger & I don't think I'd have enjoyed fishing alongside him-but an iconic character who could catch anything
You are what fishing is all about John
Ive had a rod snap on me before but only when using ultralight, and never while playing a fish 😂 what a beast! And you still won!
Nice I caught a nice tench 2 lbs 4 oz but I caught it on 0lbs 8oz line with size 22 hook
"We've got the gear. Let's take a look". "Careful Wilson". "Let's weigh it in the net. It weighs exactly a pound".

John’s face when he mentioned a croc 😂
Haha beautifull. This is my new 3 ft rod :)
I would’ve knocked that man out of the boat, imagine being that bad at operating a net. Epic fight and catch John!
"Oh no! The rods gone!"
Use a barrett rod next time and it will not be easy to break
The rods gone oh noooo
So best not buy one of them rods mate..,...………...Great work though John
All that for a medium size Vundu?? ;) RIP.
Them Shorts lol.
Never met a nice south African 😂
Don't panic
He went fishing with a roach road.
Wilson was famous for telling fibs about the line ... He once beasted a 9lb barbel from tree roots on 4lb line 🙈
His combo of incredibly light line with the dreaded "fixed paternoster" wouldn't get a warm reception from fellow anglers today 😂😂😂
WTF- is it russian submarine?
He was always so rude,and irratatable.....very short, and rude to people.
I'm from Zimbabwe I've caught bigger vundu
Who wears short shorts....
