What a lot of snarky people there are today. It just shows how small peoples attention spans are and how little they understand about the work that goes into making content. This is a different video filmed on a completely different day to the first monkfish video published 1 month ago. Be grateful, be nice or do not comment. It’s that simple. 👍🏻
Don’t let them bother you mate… The videos you make and share are hugely uplifting and a welcome distraction to everyday life. Sincerely appreciate what you do, keep up the great work. Matt
That was ALOT of hard work for the day. I couldn't imagine doing that everyday... But the variety is great!! Tangles.... not so much. I know Mikey was glad to have your help John.
I at first thought it was a repeat of the earlier Monkfish episode. The point is it’s a different video about ‘a day in the life’ of a commercial fisherman. Yes it’s Ground Hog day in that the graft needed to catch the ‘catch’ is never commensurate with the reward. Ignore the ill informed. I find it fascinating. 👏👏
Patience is a virtue to take the catch out of the net it's hard graft for fishermen they deserve every penny they make God bless you all and all who sail nice 1 Johnny thanks for the video 😊😊
A great day, I really enjoy these commercial fishing videos. It's amazing how selective those nets are, very few under weight or undesirable species. A huge thanks to Mikey for letting us tag along.
i absoloutly love monkfish (both to eat and as an animal) and i have to admit, these videos on commercial fishing are really interesting stuff. thank you very much!
Great video! That second net seemed very productive. I couldn't believe the size of those crabs! Removing everything from the net looks like hard work. Does Mikey usually do everything by himself?
Thoroughly enjoyed that!!! Such a beautiful and varied catch, and almost felt like being on board; so jealous of yours and Mikey's way of life 😍. Keep these ''Day in the Life' videos coming..
I can't believe you guys don't get seasick. You really did pick the right occupation. I was getting ill just watching the boat rock :D Another great video
Im in the US and never knew you had such a variety of sport fish to catch in the UK !!!! I love the shows you come up with !!! Its pure fishing , no loud unappreciated music , just fishing !!!! There are NOT many people I like to fish with but if I ever had the chance , it would be FANTASTIC to fish with you !!! I catch alott of fish here but there is also ALOT of compitition with other people !! Keep the shows coming !!!!! There great !!!!!
An absolutely brilliant video,👏 showing how hardworking, and respectful this fisherman is.😲😀 He deserves respect and admiration, and every penny he earns.🫡🫡 Thank you for showing these videos.👍 You have a brilliant channel.👏❤️ Take care and stay safe.😷
I really enjoyed watching this. I always thought I'd like working on an inshore commercial fishing boat but there's no way I could spend half my day untangling crabs and lobsters from the net. It'd drive me mad.
Thank you John and Mikey for another glimpse into the hard work that's put into putting fish on our tables. I absolutely love watching these. Sending you health and happiness to both your familes.
These are really interesting videos John. It would be useful to understand the minimum landing sizes for the monk and bycatch (you're using gauges on the shellfish and you mentioned a limit re the small ling) and the difference in rules within the 6 mile limit and outside it.
LOVED this posting! Diverse seafood species really made it interesting. How nice someone has made a machine to help keep nets in check. Now it would be nice for someone to invent how to release the catch easier and faster. Thanks for taking us along and thanks to the Captain for allowing it.
John, I know it's counterproductive but we folks like to have our 'cake' and eat it too occasionally. Saw today's posting (Sunday 11 June '23) and I enjoyed it too. Two nice pollacks to take home. Gave it a thumbs-up 👍 it was fine fishing as you stated. Did I miss the posting with Jim cooking up the Monkfish cheeks? I've had halibut cheeks and they are a 'treat'. My best to the familyand hello from the states!
Great video john as ever Thats where i work the Helford passage My boat is on the swing moorings Missed you again I like the idea of you showing the public that commercial fishing is not kill everything and damage the sea bed gill netting as you know is very selective with almost no dead by catch thrown back Well done john keep these coming 👏🏻 👍 😊
This trip and video saw 1 single dogfish thrown back dead - Crabs had had it. Show me any form off commercial fishing that is more sustainable than that?!
This is my new favorite style of video you make, seeing how these different commercial fishermen do their work is so interesting and educational, I could watch them for hours!
Really makes me appreciate the food on my plate. Whether it's fish or meat or veggies. The effort people go to to give you your daily food is amazing. I totally understand why years ago it was common to say grace at the table to thank them, even though it was aimed at some entity. Thanks John.
Loved both of the monk commercial videos mate you explain everything well.. Always wondered how they were targetted im glad they arn't all pulled up by the dredges.
Just keep them coming John. These commercial fishing trips are really interesting no matter how many times you go out even on the same boat. Each trip is different and VERY INTERESTING. Just ignore the knockers. Yours is one of the best RUclips channels and you deserve the success and any reward it brings.
The editing makes it looks easy, and for someone who has only caught cod ,mackerel and pollock by rod from a boat in the firth of fourth I am envious of your day out .
Very fun and interesting to watch! I love seeing the process and that nothing goes to waste. Gives an appreciation for the work that goes into the seafood that we eat!
@@TheFishLocker Hey John are you uploading today, as I have to go out, heat is extremely high here, and Cicadas going crazy, just don't want to miss it!
Found out something cool today. Glowsticks attract fish, or the light of it does. Fastened one to my line and the fish would not stop biting caught some giant pollocks👍😁
I am a video producer in North Carolina and I have fished since the early 1970's. This is one of the best, most realistic commercial fishing videos I have ever watched in your part of the world. I was guessing you were around the English Channel. Here off the NC coast, there is a small fleet of bottom fishing boats that fish on the NC continental drop, about 50 miles offshore, 300 - 400 feet of water for snapper, trigger fish, grouper and many others. Your video reminds me of that deep drop trip. If you guys made 10 hours of content, I would watch all of it!
Brilliant once again - no two days are the same and you're right - sun-up is the best time of day. I was on holiday last week in Pontllyfni and watched a fisherman hauling his pots like you do. I saw him keep a few lobsters but was throwing nearly everything else back, mostly spider crab I think...some were huge! It was still fascinating just to see what came up. Thanks 😄
Same old mate. Haven’t got a clue but are experts 😂 As a spearo for over 40 years, starting with a sharpened stick. I still get it and those people as we know hide behind platforms, ask them to confront or ask face to face, we know the answer. Carry on mate we love your content, makes me smile whilst working away from the sea ❤
Thank you John for all your videos. It is really interesting to see how commercial fishermen work although I especially love seeing your videos hauling in your crab pots by hand; fishing; foraging and of course Spargo's Kitchen!!! Love you and your family!
Another very educational video John, fascinating the way Mikey cuts the claw tendons.. never seen that before. This vid goes a long way to show how much hard work goes into putting fish on our tables... Thanks for the upload John.
As the 'great' footballing philosopher said, "Ze Zeagull, zeh always follow ze trawler" ;-) Enjoying these 'a day in the life' series - you really get to see what's what. Best Tony
Great, video john. I love monkfish. Its the best. Love to see every bit of the catch bieng used. You cant get more, sustainable than that. I know these, huge Atlantic fishing ships are a giant factory below, deck. Making fish oils, dried fishmeal etc etc nothing is, wasted.
Nob heads everywhere unfortunately John, brill video and your true fans of the channel appreciate your hard work bringing us this content to watch and enjoy 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks John/Mikey, It must be hard work untangling the crabs & fish from the net's as they come aboard & watching the winches spinning round, would scare me to death, hat's off to you Gents 😊
John I was thinking how a hauler would help you, but you read my mind and said you don’t need or want one.. that’s funny. Thanks for another great video
The size of those edible crabs were massive, thanks John for another great trip in your mates boat, Mikey is a real sport to let you come along, you can tell he is a real professional, we used to call Monk fish poor mans Scampi, now we just call it Scampi or rather the chip shops do and charge you a packet for it, would love to see Jim cook some of those monster edibles, if he has a pot big enough.
I spent some time on the commercial boats in Alaska catching sockeye salmon and i have to say its noce to see a true to life video about how commercial fishing actually goes! Another great video!
Absolutely loved it, reminded me of the TV show How it's made. I love to find out how much work goes into the end product. Well done John for all the hard work 👍
Great video John I am really enjoying these commercial fishing trips those crabs were unbelievable one of those would feed me for a week , keep them coming and thank Mikey.
i remember watching you a bunch during covid lockdown - really got me through it. i’m glad to see you’re still getting the recognition you deserve. cheers to you & keep it up!
@@craigmala lol i dont think John is a fan of those sorts of vessels, this day in the life of stuff has been to do with sustainability, we wont see him on one of those sort of trips any time soon me think :D
Nice one mate. It's great to see how it's done these days. In actual fact, it's not that different to how we did it years ago. (But it's not that many years ago that I was doing something similar with my brother. No I take that back, it was about 30 years ago, lol.) Eitherway I loved seeing it again. Cheers mate. Mick.
Well now I am impressed at your bud letting you on board again ( wink wink nudge nudge) looks like you boys have fun though. I am curious if you have seen Leon the lobster.......a guy brought a grocery store lobster home and has it for a pet. Cool thing is you get to see what a molt looks like. I'll be damned if I can remember the site name at the moment...i will try and get it to you if you are interested. Fun vid Mr John.....keep on keeping on. Your work, if I can call it that, ( you seem to be having more fun " working " than most) is top notch. Thank you.
Brilliant video as always John. Interesting to see how much larger the brown crabs and lobster are when caught much further out at depth. Keep the videos coming! All the best.
Awesome video again John a nice mixed catch ,looking forward 2 the next 1 .,the weather here is cold very cold the wind would blow a dog of a chain. Happy catching from AUSTRALIA Nick
Another class video John. The idiots are folk who just flick thru stuff and never really watch and learn. You mate there must work his nuts off when on his own.
Love watching your videos there very interesting and educational thanks for sharing your family and friends with us but my friend i couldn't eat a monkfish unless Jim cooked it but it's a long way to his house from mine 😂
I find your "In the Day of the Life of a Commercial Fisherman" videos absolutely fascinating! Incredible how Mikey is able to work alone and it does not look like an easy day or work! Wow! Loving these real life fishermen! Thank you for another great video...they're always a joy to watch! P.S. HOLY MOLY on those massive crabs! Edible crabs?
Seeing the scallops attached to the line brings back fond memories for me of the first time I took my niece fishing! She caught 3 freshwater clams somehow and we all found it hilarious as none of us had ever caught them with a hook before! She must have been casting her line just perfectly over the open clams 😂 Took us forever to get the hooks out too
It would be a good idea to have a temporary seat that could be fitted / screwed down then removed when not in use to the starboard side just behind the winch , better safe than sorry .
Another great video about commercial fishing. You’ve got a good thing going there. Plus excellent videography! I liked your camera angles. The cameras also appeared to be constantly adjusting to maintain the horizon, so it really showed how much wave action was occurring during the shoot. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next video.
I think you should be very proud of yourself. A professional Fisherman took You with him. He would not do it, if You were not so much of help. I like the Videos about commercial fishing. Keep it up

Ignore the ill informed. I find it fascinating. 👏👏
It was because of the strawberry full moon last night lol
As I already said , definitely not a repeat. We got to see the hard work for the prep… I found it fascinating 🧐. Good luck and God . R
Patience is a virtue to take the catch out of the net it's hard graft for fishermen they deserve every penny they make God bless you all and all who sail nice 1 Johnny thanks for the video 😊😊
A great day, I really enjoy these commercial fishing videos. It's amazing how selective those nets are, very few under weight or undesirable species. A huge thanks to Mikey for letting us tag along.
The only things that this net caught that were undersized was crabs and they can be unpicked and returned to the sea alive. 👍🏻🦀
The crazy crayfish sound is just like a fantastic dolphins cool sounds u herd it here 1st good people.😊
Wonderful aren’t they.
i absoloutly love monkfish (both to eat and as an animal) and i have to admit, these videos on commercial fishing are really interesting stuff. thank you very much!

Mikey works completely solo most of the time. And yes, removing those crabs really is hard work. 🤣🦀
@@TheFishLocker If he's doing everything by himself, he must have his technique tuned perfectly 🤔
John, they should all be very grateful of all the effort you put in to edit these videos. It’s a lot of work.
Thank you for noticing.
Thoroughly enjoyed that!!! Such a beautiful and varied catch, and almost felt like being on board; so jealous of yours and Mikey's way of life 😍. Keep these ''Day in the Life' videos coming..
hello John, excellent video! Mikey is a very hard worker. I can't imagine having to do everything by myself.
I can't believe you guys don't get seasick. You really did pick the right occupation. I was getting ill just watching the boat rock :D Another great video
It’s time spent at sea that builds that tolerance and balance
You too?!

And no negative bycatch. Great isn’t it.

So many different ways to eat it too

Crabs look like they give a hard time getting out of the nets. Looks like a wonderful day on the boat. Only halfway through looks like a lot of work.
They are a real battle!!
I have done many different jobs in my life. non of them could beat the feeling of a daybreak on a boat. thank you for this video my friend.

Love these Commercial fishing videos, let’s people see the hard work that goes into getting their Seafood.
These guys certainly earn their pennies.
Well that was a varied catch! Love the idea of using the Monk heads for bait, can’t wait to see what they catch. Those crab were huge.
'Julie Girl' - lovely name for her. I've named my girl 'R SUP'.
Absolutely loved it, reminded me of the TV show How it's made.

Some cracking sized crabs amongst that haul of monks, really interesting to see both sides of fishing from commercial to private
Thank you, I do hope that people find these videos interesting and educational. 😊👍🏻
Great video John I am really enjoying these commercial fishing trips those crabs were unbelievable one of those would feed me for a week , keep them coming and thank Mikey.
There were some proper bruisers in amongst them wasn’t there!!!
i remember watching you a bunch during covid lockdown - really got me through it. i’m glad to see you’re still getting the recognition you deserve. cheers to you & keep it up!
If our content helped during lockdown then I am glad. Take care bud.
Nice one John those monk fish are amazing and you could get a football in their mouth. That crab was a wicked size too😊😊
nice video, you see how much they have to do to bring the fish to shore. multitasking on a boat !! crazy looking fish
It’s not a job for the faint hearted. 😉
John, interesting and fun watching the nets come up and the different catch in them. Those monkfish have some wicked teeth!
They are like pins and rows and rows of them!!!
Hi John, great video, it amazes me how the net untangles after you remove the catch, it looks to be a complete mess. Very informative, thanks .
It’s a skill. 😉
Love the commercial fishing vids,maybe you could go out on a beamer or a scalloper for a week??? now that would be one hell of a vid😁
A week? sod that we need him out wreck fishing and then back to Spargos to cook the catch, dont send him off for a week 🤣
Incredibly destructive method of commercial fishing mate.

THE HUGE CLAWS ON THOSE CRABS HAD ME DROOLING. THE WORK NEVER STOPS WHEN THE NETS COMING IN.
These boys certainly earn their money. 👍🏻🦀🦞
Well now I am impressed at your bud letting you on board again ( wink wink nudge nudge) looks like you boys have fun though. I am curious if you have seen Leon the lobster.......a guy brought a grocery store lobster home and has it for a pet. Cool thing is you get to see what a molt looks like.

Fun vid Mr John.....keep on keeping on. Your work, if I can call it that, ( you seem to be having more fun " working " than most) is top notch. Thank you.
I always love watching your videos. Ive been following you for a few years now i hope you and the wife and kids are doing well! Keep up the hard work!
Thank you very much, yes we are all well. 👍🏻
You get great content, and your buddy Mikey gets a helping hand/temp First Mate for his work. I'd call that a win-win!
Definite win win mate.
As always a great video! I could sit and watch these for hours enjoying the content like I was on the boat with you!
Thanks for the interesting video, as far as I know, we don't have monk fish in Australia. Great fish.
That’s surprising as they are pretty well spread around the globe. Might be a water temp thing.
It is always cool to see the small town fishing boat, never a bad day on the water. Good luck Have fun
The net work is fascinating to watch as someone who hasn't done this....Great video!
I could watch this type of thing for hours.
Brilliant video as always John. Interesting to see how much larger the brown crabs and lobster are when caught much further out at depth. Keep the videos coming! All the best.
That’s why I don’t see so many in the pots.
WOW!! awesome video.. that captain rocks the boat..
Awesome video again John a nice mixed catch ,looking forward 2 the next 1 .,the weather here is cold very cold the wind would blow a dog of a chain. Happy catching from AUSTRALIA Nick
Hope you and the family are well Nick. 👍🏻
Who says men can't 'multi-task'! LOL!!!!! Brilliant once more both of you. Thank you! (The size of those crabs!!!! Wow!)
They were big ones weren’t they!!
First time in my life I had pan fried monkfish 2 month back…. My god, absolutely delicious, I can’t get enough of it now
Another great watch John really enjoyed this one,may I say I enjoy everyone.
Thank you very much Stuart.
Excellent John. Blokes doing bloke jobs. A pleasure to go to work.

Those brown edible crabs!!!! Huge buggers!!! Another interesting video from the day in a life. Thank you!
Getting the fish out of the nets looks difficult enough , crabs are a nightmare in comparison. Brilliant
The brown edibles are actually the most difficult
A lot of work involved amazing catch

Great videos John, nice to see the different methods in action, 👍👍👍
Thank you Conor 😊👍🏻
Seeing the scallops attached to the line brings back fond memories for me of the first time I took my niece fishing! She caught 3 freshwater clams somehow and we all found it hilarious as none of us had ever caught them with a hook before! She must have been casting her line just perfectly over the open clams 😂 Took us forever to get the hooks out too
Brilliant works hard for his money that lad and you put a good shift in 💪👍grafters
Another great video John great to see the different types of fish he catches as well as the shell fish love the content well done John
Thank you very much. 😊🦀
It would be a good idea to have a temporary seat that could be fitted / screwed down then removed when not in use to the starboard side just behind the winch , better safe than sorry .
I see where you are coming from. 👍🏻
Another great video! Thanks for giving us brilliant, informative videos so consistently.
It is my pleasure Elliot. 😊
Another great video about commercial fishing. You’ve got a good thing going there. Plus excellent videography! I liked your camera angles. The cameras also appeared to be constantly adjusting to maintain the horizon, so it really showed how much wave action was occurring during the shoot. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to the next video.
The cameras do try to adjust for a flat horizon so yes, when it looks rough it is actually REALLY rough!! 🤣
Very interesting video,
Glad you think so. I find this really interesting
I think you should be very proud of yourself. A professional Fisherman took You with him. He would not do it, if You were not so much of help.
I like the Videos about commercial fishing.
Keep it up
Thank you very much for the compliment.
