The Fish Locker - I loved the start, but the end was a load of pollocks!!

Watched the The Spargo Kichen guru last night... looked delicious! Great team..🙂

Yummmm! What a great chef Jim is!!!

I was just going to ask if they are edible. TY

I've missed you guys. I've been out of it a little. I have a daughter that is a missing person. My daughter. She met someone from Jordan. On line. Says he lives in Egypt. I don't know. Anyway we are all a little better now. If it's ever good news. I'll let u know. As always great to see you and enjoy your videos.

- Haha. Every fish is special mate. Especially when they look as interesting as these bad boys. Haha. Take care mate 😊

- No hiding that type of joy is there. haha. Calm composure out the window with that one!! Haha 😊

The feeling when u catch a fish is awesome....especially in the sea...nice work!

- If the bigger one had looked like he would have survived I would have done the same with him. But he was clearly blown.

- Just needed to put my mind to it mate. I’ve wanted to catch one for a long time. But this was a specific effort. 😉👍🏻🎣🐟

- I knew it wasn't injured or blown and it just couldn't get itself back down. So I helped it on its way. After this video I am going to make a proper decender and do a video on it. It isn't possible with all fish but some just need a little extra help. 😊

My biggest take away from this video and is his message of sustainability. While many fishermen would simply keep the fish because they have a right to, here we see his ingenuity put to use to keep just one more fish in the sea.

- Three thumbs up!!! 😊

- It really was a special moment. So glad I get to share it with you all. 😊

- Thank you Tom. As you say this is one species I have wanted to catch for a long time. We blanked on them last trip when we saw the whales and I knew that I might not get another chance this year so I really was so happy to get amongst them. 😊

- Hello Heidi. You may take comfort in the knowledge that I have been contacted by numerous people saying the exact same thing. It is one of the reasons why we have tried to up our video output during these difficult times. If our videos can help to bring even a short positive distraction and bring you some calm, then they are worth it.😊

- Just because we take fish for the table it doesn't not mean we shouldn't show them compassion. 😊

- You never know what you’re going to catch to do. 😊👍🏻🐟🎣

Stunning looking fish aren they. 😊

Well-done John ,a good sized one ,do they taste good? 😎

I know I'm a new subscriber but this is becoming my favourite fishing channel. I love the Blue Shark episodes. Be nice to see you hook a monster and say those magical words. I need a bigger boat. Stay safe cracking Dory. Regards Tony

Congrats mate

Congratulations john well done man I'm happy you finally got it and three of them in one session too! HA!

Tony Ashton - Thank you Tony. I had hoped to get back out to look for that Thresher but sadly the weather really picked up. Who knows? 🤞🏻🦈

Have you watched the cooking video yet?

- Just show her some of our family boat trips with my good wife and James? 😊

- ☺️

@@TheFishLocker I bet that was exactly the same face the first time you went potty all by yourself and shouted "Mummy, look, I went poo poo by myself." lol.

- Haha. Yes I am doing my best to keep up with them all but they're coming in thick and fast. Thank you very much and have a wonderful day. 😊 'Ansum - as they say in Cornwall.

- Teresa I have been chasing this fish for a long time. So to catch one finally was a big thing for me. Made only better by the fact I can share the whole experience with you all. So so happy. 😊

- Thank you Roy. 😊

- Thanks Kevin. Catch and cook video due up in a day or two. 😊👍🏻

@@TheFishLocker Great,look forward to that !

- Thank you very much Kirk. I really do appreciate it. 😊

- It definitely was a special one not to be forgotten. 😊👍🏻🎣

- They are stunning aren’t they.

This was a very special session. A proper dedicated effort for them and really glad it paid off. 💙🐟🐟🐟

- Jack, we are all in this together my friend. Everything going on is an external, how you allow it to effect you is down to you mate. Keep your chin up and give me a message if you're at a loose end. 😊

@@TheFishLocker It means a lot for you to say that. I've been taking a page from your playbook lately and working to identify all the flowers and weeds and trees and mushrooms I pass on my evening walks :P

KAKADOUJACK - That is brilliant.😊👍🏻

- I am glad you enjoyed joining me on this special session James. Haha. I am not usually too bad with superstitions but with something that had eluded me for as ling as these guys I was taking no chances!! 😊

@@TheFishLocker Hello again John. About "superstitions": I come from a family of military sailors & I know you crewed on an aircraft carrier in Her Majestys' Navy. I've been around boats & fished most of my life. I've crewed on none military vessels. I say this as somewhat of a joke...BUT...I've always thought sailors & fishermen are required to be superstitious :-)) LOL, Ben

Haha. Good old times.

- Thank you Wim. I was absolutely over the moon to catch them but also so happy to be able to share the whole experience with you all. 😊

- They are incredible looking fish aren't they. You can see now why they are so sought after can't you. Catch and cook in editing. 😊

- Thank you very much Frederick. It has been a long time coming. 😊

They are a stunning fish aren't they. And they taste truly sublime!!! 😊

- Thank you so much and welcome. It is our pleasure to share our videos with you. 😊

Also I forgot to ask does this session top the tuna for you? Unforgettable sessions!

- Thanks mate. Aye, Ive been chasing these bad boys for some time. So sliding the net under a few really is brilliant. Compared to the Tuna. Both really special in their own right. 😊

The Fish Locker I know you’ve been chasing them I’ve watched every video 😉 well deserved, I can only dream of catching one and a tuna

- They are incredible looking creatures aren't they and yes. Absolutely delicious!! Catch and cook video in editing. 😊

@@TheFishLocker Bring it on.🤩

I hope so too.

- They are incredible looking aren't they Kaisha. So so happy to have finally slipped the net under a few. 😊

- Haha. Just glad to finally put one in the net. I was beginning to doubt myself. Haha. 😊

- Haha. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!!! I will do a little video on returning fish and making a "decender". Some fish just need a little extra help to get back down to depth.

- You will be pleased to know it is editing as we speak. 😊

Every day is a school day. 😊👍🏻

@@TheFishLocker Can't argue with truth friend

- Thank you. I am still learning how to fly the drone properly and experimenting with music in the vids. Hopefully things will continue to improve. 😊

- Thank you Gordon. Im still learning how to use it properly mate but its been good fun. 😊

Hi Gordon.

- Thank you. 😊

- Incredible aren't they Jack. Such a unique fish 😊

- Thank you Paul. 😊

- I wish you the best of luck Douglas. Tight lines my friend. 😊

- Thank you Geoffrey. I have this argument/discussion with people often actually when they question me for returning so many "eating fish". I hold two stances depending on the argument. 1st ( and this is usually in reference to the Tuna I returned ) - Is it not enough that you have won. That you have pitted yourself against a worthy opponent and in a battle of wits and strength and determination that you have won. Is that not enough? That you have to then kill it? It is not even a case of mercy, it is respect. And I think it says something about you as a man and your place in the world ..... and 2nd - and more recently - We as anglers are the guardians of the sea. We are the ones most invested and involved, we as anglers and aware humans have a base responsibility for the ecosystems and their inhabitants. This is my passion Geoffrey. The sea, and everything that lives in it. 😊

- They really are incredible eating fish aren't they. 😊

- I would have liked to return 2 and keep 1 but they were gladly taken to the kitchen. 😊 Have you seen the video?

- Thank you David. That is what makes this all the more special. I not only got my fish but can share the moment with all of you. 😊 Best wishes mate and stay safe. 😊

- Haha. It took me long enough though didn't it. 😊

- Thank you. They are wonderful looking aren't they. 😊

- I do Derek. We have a catch and cook video in editing as we speak.😊

- Thank you. Just because we take fish for the table does not mean we should not treat them with compassion. 😊

- Thank you Tony. I do hope that the variety and depth of knowledge of the range of content sets us aside from the other channels that try to do what we do. 😊🐟👍🏻

@@TheFishLocker Your in a different league bud on every level. Variety, skill sets, rigs, fish care and environmentaly aware, entertaining and educational..... Its a big list bud. My favourites are Blue Sharks, Cuckoo Wrasse and Red Gurnard. Stay safe cheers. Tony

- Haha. Yeah mate. That was another really lucky session back when I was a young man. Thank you. 😊

- Tell her those are Ellen Dories. These are John Dory's mate. 😊

- I have always said that if the videos help anyone out then they have been worth making. 😊

- Thanks James. They are pretty special aren't they!!

- They really are!!

- Exactly that Paul. Well observed. The early bird might catch the worm - but the early angler gets the fish. 😊

- Thank you Joey. I am glad that the care and sense of responsibility transfers across in the videos. We as anglers are the guardians of the seas and it is our duty to care for these ecosystems. I am glad that in this busy and stressful world that we may be able to provide a little calm, even if it is just for a brief time. Best wishes and good health to you Joey 😊

Am a long term sea and fresh water river angler, based around North Shields. Have had family in the fishing industry in the past before the decline in the 1970’s. 👍😊

Haha. That was a fish I had been hunting for a long time!!!

- Thank you Thomas. It wasn't easy to do solo - I'm still learning how to pilot it properly. But I enjoy the challenge. 😊

I'm sure the drone will have a feature on it John so it will follow you along and circle around you without touching the controls!? Either way was an epic opening shot fella,and some John Dorys,what more can I say just awesome after watching you for so long,keep at it fella nice one👍🏻🔥🔥🇬🇧🙏🏻🙏🏻

Ian Towers - You can program things but add those to a moving boat at sea and it’s a whole new ball game. 😉

- Haha. Calm demeanour out the window on that one. Ok ok. Maybe I did care a little bit!! 😊

@@TheFishLocker 😂😂😂😂 really happy for you though how did they taste or do i have to wait for another video to see

gavin mcnamara - Catch and cook video due up in the next day or 2. 😉

- Thank you Stephen. I'm glad you enjoyed the drone footage. I'm still practicing how to use it. 😊

- Thank you Candice. I am glad to hear you say that. 😊

- Haha. I’ll be happy with that. 👍🏻

Cheers Alan. This was a special one for me. 😊

- I was just doing the right thing. Just because I take fish for the table doesn't mean I shouldn't treat them with compassion. 😊

@@TheFishLocker honorable person :)

- They are delicious aren't they!!!

- Haha. Thank you very much, I guess Im just a lucky guy. Take care and best wishes to you and your family. 😊

- Thank you Jack. I am very much still learning with the drone. Hopefully things will continue to improve. 😊

- It is my pleasure Bob, not only do I manage to have an incredible fishing session but I can share it with you all. 😊

- Jim I am so so glad that I get to share this moment with everyone. Absolutely amazing 😊

- They are incredible eating fish. Video in editing. 😊

Best fish I've had, very delicate but just lovely 😋

Bob Charlie - Incredibly good eating.

- YESS!!!!!! HAHA

Print that on the next batch of T shirts 😆

William Collett - I will see if I can get that organised.

- Thank you Mike. Such a brilliant thing to be able to share the moment with all of you. 😊

Haha. This was a special trip for me.

- WHAT?!? That is one of the most unique looking fish you can catch. Haha. And for a "unique' looking gent like myself I am more than happy to catch one.haha. Best wishes mate. 😊

- No I haven't. Would you recommend it to people?

No. But I'd recommend "Sea fishing" by fish locker.

- Thank you Sean, it really does feel wonderful doesn't it. 😊

- Thank you Andreas. This was a special one for me. I can only suggest that if you truly want one - you catch one. As being given something isn't nearly as symbolic as finding one. Wishing you good health my friend 😊

- We have done a few Fishlocker charters in the past but to be honest people mess me around. Don't pay and then don't show and the last 2 I actually lost money. So we will do more but only full boat charters. You book and pay for the boat and fill it yourself. Then me and the skipper just organise the fishing. 😊

Sorry to hear that people let you down if in the future you do it again I would like to be there and I would pay you up front thanks for your time

Frank Gallagher - Send me a PM on the Fishlocker fb page mate. 👍🏻

- 3 by the end of the session!!

- Thank you very much Sir. It is my pleasure to share my fishing with you. 😊

- Haha. Could you tell I was excited? Haha. Calm composure out the window when that one hit the surface mate. Take care bud 😊

- YES!!!!!

- Thank you Jim. I honestly don't know what the next target might be? I haven't thought about it yet. I'm just enjoying catching this one. 😊

- Haha. There was no hiding that excitement!! IM really glad I can share the experience with you. Be safe. 😊

- Thank you Ray. It does feel really good to get the net under a few. I will look at making a video on fish release like that, if you think it will help folks? 😊

- We had a wonderful cookup with them - video coming up. 😊

- No hiding that type of excitement was there!! Haha.

- Incredible looking creatures aren’t they. You see now why I was so eager to catch one. 😊🐟

I am really glad to hear that Ralph, sorry for the late reply this comment managed to slip through the net somehow. 😊

- Thank you Dianne 😊

- Nick I am so so happy that I got it on camera. It isn't the same unless you can share your joy is it. This really was a special one for me. 😊 I had hoped to go out looking for that Thresher but the weather the next day really picked up. Hopefully after the storms have passed we may cross paths again.😊

- Thank you Jim, this truly was a special trip for me and I am glad that I could share it with you. 😊

They really are an unusual fish aren’t they!!
