"Ooh and that's a lovely carp..."
Great stuff, an I'm not even a fisherman.

All the best,

Learn't lots from Wilson. Don't often get chance to pick up a rid these days but I always remember his stalking of carp in the tightest of swims. Passed in the same week as my dad who was also a fan. Hopefully they are sat on a bank somewhere together chatting and catching.

I'm sure I was watching him on one of his programs in the early nineties, and he landed a large Pike in to his boat, and it broke his rod, and he uttered the great line "that just about takes the bloody biscuit". I loved watching his shows itd.
