You can sell yourself short if you want but you are one hell of a fisherman John, ive never seen anyone catch a shark like that before, im sure others have hand lined them in but not after snapping off and steaming after the gear like that, then snapping the reel handle which would have been my queue to get going on home, soon as the bad luck starts to mount up thats it for me, that was a crazy session and you deserved those fish more than any ive seen you land before, also proof that your prepping and a tidy work space etiquette means you can get out of the crap when it all kicks off, that was amazing John, well done and thanks for sharing that with us all
I hoped that it showed that so I am really glad to hear it. By being organised it allows you to adapt to things that arise. The broken rods and reel handle were just bad luck and my own doing. It happens. Very glad to get the fish back. 😊👍🏻🦈
You work so hard at your channel John. So not sure how many days ago with editing etc, this was. I'm down at the moment, and the weather has been mad and wild! You've been out there in really quite nasty conditions, to do what you love doing. But, probably the bigger part is to bring to your subscribers more content and earn a living. I am familiar with the area, and it's not a whole bag of fun to be doing what you are doing. Thank you for all the input, work, risks you take, to produce something for your subscribers to enjoy in the comfort and safety of their homes.
If it was only for the money and clout I would do things very differently and would have a boat and back covered in sponsors. It makes enough money to cover the fishing, I still need to work to support our family.
That was absolutely insane 😂 how you managed to land and tag that first shark is like one of those stories you hear down the pub! Well done for getting out there mate 👍
I enjoyed that. Real fishing - and good on you for crimping the barbs down. Great that you got the shark too. Nice work and considerate fishing! Appreciated.
The use of frozen chum blocks is also the way i used to do my groundbait for pond fishing. the size of tennis balls just big enough for a throwing stick. yes im sorry for your loss of the rod rings but at least the fish wasnt far off and you tagged her ok. keep em coming John crack on and be safe
@@TheFishLocker I always used to use Seymo guides to replace any that were broken John especially Diamite for the heavier down tide rods You couldn't break one of those with a 2Lb lump hammer!
That was an unbelievable save that John, not only getting the gear back but the fish aswell! 😂😂😂 well done! Theres nothing worse than snapping off and knowing that you have left tackle in a fish or ghost tackle floating around in the sea so seeing you get that back was brilliant top job! 🎣🎣🎣
Well done Lad another marvellous adventure you have taken us on, what looked a smart day at crack of sparrows fart turned right sloppy hey ho, lookin forward to Sunday mate!

That was crazy thats 1 session to tell the lads about down the pub and ya grand kids hand balling in a blue shark with ya bear hands!!!! Flipin brilliant the way that played out was briliant. Great effort mate loved every second. All the best tight lines 🎣🎣🎣
13mins in.... WOW!!!! You got it! Despite the line break! John... You are the best. (How many others would do what you did here!??) Brilliant video - as always.
“ I’m a long way out…” Not being funny John , just watching what the weather is like and the sea…I was thinking of chucking up…To top it off,you listed all the people who knew you were out on the waves… “ Give it half & hour “, some of the greatest understatements ever made. Good luck and God bless . R
You’re far more than just a fisherman. Those swells looked pretty rough.. I love your educating way , and your films anyone should be able to follow… All the weather forecasts have said that the weather won’t change until next week.. Please try to keep safe…😉🤓😎
I wondered when this video was coming. Cannot get enough of this style of fishing. Hopefully the first of a few shark sessions. We went right past HMS Albion and got some awesome photos last week. Brilliant vid. Hopefully be back soon. Tight lines.
Off to West Wales next Friday for 2 weeks .......going with my mate .taken his arvor boat .....and we are going out from milford haven for tope plus out to the celtic deep for blues and hopefully a porgy .........
You will still be swaying when you close your eyes haha. Well done mate cracking catch and first class save. Subscribed a while back and cannot get enough of your videos and learnt a lot…I still can’t fish but learnt a lot 😅lol keep going mate and looking forward to the next 🤝
Awesome again John didn't know thay still put ceramic in runners, speaking 2 a guy at the gym who fished 4 alligator gar in USA he showed me photos ,what awesome looking fish ,he caught 1 and lost 1 .Happy catching from Australia Nick
At the beginning of this video you said it was not the best day for fishing. Then your first catch was a dog fish. Next was the fiasco with the snapped line and broken reel handle . I am totally amazed at the way you handled all of it. Here in the states we have a saying that the worst day fishing is better than the best day working. I think that fits your day perfectly! As always I love watching your videos.
Hi John , if I didn't find that video interesting there's no hope for me ! Great skill in getting that first shark in . I've handlined for mackerel but never for sharks ! Hope you get your equipment sorted out . Looking forward to the next installment.
Wow, that was exciting. Well done for hand lining the snapped line and saving the day, reminded me of a film. Hopefully, all the major fishing companies will see this and supply new rods and reels as sponsorship . Thanks for sharing 👍
I just caught a glimpse of the big bluey John 🦈 A nice fish to help with getting over a day of ups and downs 😊 Don't worry mate , we've all been there when it comes to tackle breakages 😢 Take care mate Jason
Well, that made for brilliant, dramatic viewing. I was on the edge of my seat. Good luck/bad luck...who can say. Thank you again for the graft you put in to make these videos.
Hi John Great video mate. Boat fishing is all about things going wrong but when it all goes right they are the days to remember. I have only had one sharking trip out mate weather has been wild. Had a couple of decent Tope but no big stuff. Our sharking grounds is back of the IOW. Hope the weather changes in our favour. Love watching your sharking trips. Tight Lines mate Tony
Great work John to get both fish in, shows how easy it is for things to go wrong but also how well you dealt with those problems. Another brilliant video. Thank you.
Hi John, found this very interesting and informative. As you say it’s all about adapting to conditions and circumstances which you do admirably. Good work out for thighs and calves!
brill john you make things look so easy but a big swell and 2hrs chugging out a long sail well done mate it looks great on my laptop not the boat keep the vids coming
@@TheFishLocker I will be honest, I would seldom go fishing with anyone normally, but you have inspired me to consider taking up the sport again, especially sea fishing.

Hey Dude! I'm in Greece on hols and you inspired me to bring a rod to shore fish for small species after your holiday videos. I've been researching poisonous fish so I don't get caught out with spines. I caught three fish yesterday on bread including a Salema Porgy. I read they can be toxic to eat and have been known to give LSD style trips. Pretty rare for that to happen I reckon! Thanks for all the inspiration. I'm not sure I'll be up to sharks but love watching you do it. Thanks again
What an amazing video thank you so much John I’m no fisherman. Keen to get into foraging and a bit of fishing but this video has been by far my favourite. Thank you very much.
John dont think you need to whip new eyes on your rod l, my local rod builder just changes the ceramics over with new ones and ya wouldnt know the difference, it can be done 👍 cracking video

@@TheFishLocker better put that sign on all your shark hooks- No bluefin allowed!!😂. Maybe it would work on the pesky doggies too! But they are a young rowdy and uneducated bunch...
Loved the nights video John, Sod’s law you have those sort of days every so often, things go pear shaped & you just have to deal with it on the day. First time I’ve ever seen a shark hand lined in so well done mate😅 l was admiring the new reel, but not too sure now. What I liked most was the fact you left everything in including the mishaps, some folk only seem to show the good bits and we all know some days are not plain sailing, so thanks for another great nights viewing.👏👏👏👍

When I was James’s age I used to fish with hand lines off Old Harry, Poole. Thank goodness there were no sharks around!
Haha. There probably were.
@@TheFishLocker there were certainly plenty of dog fish. I can still remember them curling back on themselves and sand papering the back of your hand.

The weather has been terrible.
Always fun and interesting. Glad you got the line back and the tag in.
Me too mate.
Great skill John, but more importantly, I'm off to check all my rod rings now! Thanks for posting.

As I said mate I’ve been super busy and the weather has been very poor.
Hand lining sharks, now that’s hard core. Hope the rods fix is easy.
Already fixed mate. The handle need a new part but it’s not a big job.
And that's that ... That's fishing! All the best laid plans, all the expertise, gear, patience ... some days you lose ....and it's still wonderful ! 😂

Incredible how visible that chum slick is. Gives such confidence seeing that.

Great video, John. I have had bad luck with ceramic guides as they are prone to breaking so I don't use them anymore.
Most rods have them now unfortunately. 🤷🏻♂️
That first loss & retrieve is worth a short edit and repost or something, classic, well done.

@@TheFishLocker better put that sign on all your shark hooks- No bluefin allowed!!😂. Maybe it would work on the pesky doggies too! But they are a young rowdy and uneducated bunch...
lost the 1st one that was hard luck john yet again you saved the day well done mate
It didn’t happen as planned but we got there in the end. 🤣
Coolest shark catch ever.
Haha. 💪🏻🦈
Wicked video again, found myself rocking with you on the sofa with some of them swells 😂
Lol! Me too! x
That’s the type of day when you wobble your way through the car park afterwards. 🤣
@@TheFishLocker 🤣🤣🤣
Loved the nights video John, Sod’s law you have those sort of days every so often, things go pear shaped & you just have to deal with it on the day. First time I’ve ever seen a shark hand lined in so well done mate😅 l was admiring the new reel, but not too sure now. What I liked most was the fact you left everything in including the mishaps, some folk only seem to show the good bits and we all know some days are not plain sailing, so thanks for another great nights viewing.👏👏👏👍
All of my videos are honest mate. The only thing I take out is the occasional swear word. 😉👍🏻
Another brilliant video , thanks
My pleasure mate.
Unbelievable 😲you don’t need a rod John , just keep catching them by hand 👏🏻👏🏻
Haha. Not sure it would have worked on a 200lber
Great experience and video, thanks John!!
My pleasure bud.
John locker, last person from our training who I thought would make a RUclips channel.
Was just speaking about you today coz someone at work mentioned they are heading to Whitby for a weekend.
And I was like… I wonder where locker is these days, low and behold you made a bloody RUclips channel.
Not just a pretty face mate. 😉
100 out of 10 for getting all that line and float from the sharks mouth John, awesome! great watch as always, stay safe, out there
Cheers mate. Wasn’t ideal but it worked.
It's alway nice to be included in your day.
I am glad that you enjoyed joining us.
