- Whilst targeting a Winter Thresher Shark we accidentally hook into 2 HUGE Bluefin tuna. We quickly revive and release the fish before leaving the area and fishing for some Pollack and bass for food.

This video shows 2 Bluefin tuna caught as a bycatch. They were hooked, played and released fit and healthy. Currently the law in the U.K. prevents the targeting of Bluefin tuna. I am not interested in debating or talking about it in the comments - so don’t bother. 👍🏻🎣🦈
@@janis1981 correct. And block you for being a bitter little prick. 🤣👍🏻
@@janis1981 Those fish looked pretty fit and healthy to me. (And I've seen a few)
@@TheFishLockerAloha. I thought you called them wankers across the pond?
Haha well said m8 doing nothing wrong just having a good time with no hard done .
Hi what fish finder set up are you using ?
I love how you guys are really caring for the second fish. At first I was worried about the gaff, but I realised it’s just a small hook for a fish that size, and if it means it was safely released, well at least it can heal. Brilliant fishing guys.
I am glad you could see that we were only acting in the fishes best interest. The first fish was still full of energy. You could see by how it thrashed at the side of the boat. That one could just go straight back. The second due to its size was properly played out so needed reviving.
Brilliant to see tuna back in our seas. They were lucky that they got caught by someone who actually cares and has a lot of respect and knowledge of what you do. I know plenty of people that would not of released them. 👍👍
Hopefully our videos will go some way to helping educate people. 👍🏻🎣
@@TheFishLocker 👌👍
Now then John, im just grateful you reopened the comments, felt like we'd lost you. Lovely video respectful to the fish as always. All the best mate 👍
If people can behave themselves and if the good guys in the comments section can help me police them they will remain open. 🤞🏻👍🏻
Very Happy Christmas John and and family .Thank you sooo much for all the time spent and videoing and editing these videos this year .Love going on your adventures . I havent had a great year so watching your videos has certainly cheered me up .
It is our pleasure Peter. Have a wonderful day and take care.
Fishing for Sharks!! Accidentally hook Tuna. Very funny😅
Thank you. 😬👍🏻
especially with straight mono leaders... I mean some guys do use 600lb+ mono(which I find stupid an not fair to the fish) but this was typical tuna leader size
Yea Boy something good to watch! Awesome video and beautiful Tuna’s!
I hope you enjoyed joining us mate. Take care and have a great Christmas 🎄 🎣
The weather looked amazing, and can only imagine the fight those two gave you. Glad they were sent back to grow bigger and increase the population. Love your channel and upload!
Thank you very much.
I did a semester-long research project on bluefin tuna and learned how incredible these fish are! They really deserve our attention, so It was awesome to see you catch them and treat them with care. Thanks for the great content!
They are a truly magnificent fish arent they. 💙
Fantastic John and Chris. Many thanks for your fabulous content this year, it has been such great viewing. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family. Wonderful channel hosted by wonderful folk! cheers Milo
Thank you very much and have a wonderful Christmas🎣🎄
Brilliant video Mr Locker. Thanks.sunday evening wouldnt be the same without the teatime trip with you. Its like im there good effort mate
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the continued support 👍🏻 🎣
I was knackered after those two! Armchair fishing isn't as easy as it looks. Great stuff lads.
Haha. You best take it easy for a few days now then mate.
@@TheFishLocker I will John thanks.
Well done lads, that double hook up looked like CHAOS!! Shame the thresher never turned up, keep up the good work 👏 🐟🎣
As far as things go this is a pretty good consolation prize.
Cracking video John.
Wonderful to see the "tunny" returning to UK waters. Catch and release will undoubtedly give these magnificent fish the chance to get back to the once great shoals that were common only 50 or so years ago.
Have a lovely Christmas with your family 🎄🎅❤.
Ever tighter lines for the New Year content 🤞🏻🎣
Thanks Syd.
Great teamwork & discipline on deck, experience shows & it all boots your chances of success. Well done bioh iof you & thanks for this & all 2023 videos.
We work really well as a team. It helps that we both have a lot of experience handling small boats too.
You guys were so on the fish that day. There's dolphins all around. And then there's that blowout in the water way in the background, right above your rod. Lots of activity. You guys were right in the action. And that sonar view of the tuna chasing the fish at the start of the video... brilliant.
Some days the fish are just one the feed!!!
Excellent. Both of you. Thanks once more John. Merry Christmas to ALL the family and a wish that 2024 bring you all that you wish and hope for.
Thank you very much mate.
Amaaazing catch. Very nice episode. Thanks
Thank you Rob.
Absolutely excellent video John. Thank you for all your great videos again this year. We learn so much from you. You must of dedicated so much of your life to fishing to have your knowledge and we’re lucky that you share it. Ignore the negativity John, Unfortunately not everyone has much common sense anymore, it’s the strange world we live in. Keep up the good work
Thanks Ben, merry Christmas and take care. 😊🎄🎣
Bit of an understatement by you John? "It's not a bad fish!" An 83" Bluefin tuna!! You could've thrown a saddle on it's back and ridden it home.😉
Haha. I aren’t one to exaggerate things mate. There’s skippers down here who 83” fish is 100” by the time the story reaches shore. And 110 by the time it’s on Fb. 🤣🤣🤣
What a great day out! Those tuna certainly tested your gear John, well done both. Love the fish finder, great bit of kit! Thanks for the vid.
It was amazing seeing them on the screen like that! So exciting to see. Thanks 😊
You lads had a cracking days sport, and weather to boot !! One thing is for sure your knots and crimps are 100%.
One thing is for sure. These fish will test you and your tackle to the max!!
Beautiful fish. Amazing to see them in UK waters and great to see you handling them so expertly. Great vid!
They are incredible fish aren’t they.
it's lovely to see these kind of fish in our waters. bravo mate cracking catches.
Thank you very much.
What fantastic fish, well done for bringing them both in and releasing them afterwards. This is the second video, I think, that you've posted about catching tuna, looking forward to number three.
I wish you all a really great Christmas, have fun.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video Tony.
Great viewing men. What a thrill to see a double hook up. Fantastic eco Fishermen.

Thank hon Tony and best wishes to you and yours. 👍🏻🎣🎄
Absolutely brilliant. Well done both of you. Stunning fish 😊
Thank you.
Another cracking video, You guys are so lucky to have large numbers of BFT in your area!! Hopefully when they open up BFT fishing in the UK for 2024 will stop all the negative comments form people... Keep up the great work John...
There will still be negative people mate. They can’t help themselves. 🤣👍🏻
Great teamwork guys to safely catch and release both fish. Another great video, thank you for sharing it. Merry Christmas John to you, Hannah, James and all of your family. 🎅😃
Simply sharing what we love doing mate. Merry Christmas. 😊👍🏻
Amazing John great to see these fish back in UK waters in some decent numbers. Remember the video you put out last year or the year before of the 2 fish you caught then.
Exciting times.
Two magnificent fish well done John and your friend
Glad you enjoyed joining us Ken.
What a trip. Brilliant. Thanks
Cheers bud.
Ive been watching your channel for years before going to bed or to put in the background while im working and i just wanted to say thank you for consistent quality videos, me and my 5yr old especially love your scallop videos. Haters and pansies can go get bent, keep doing what you're doing
Haha. Thank you Amy it is our pleasure. Have a wonderful Christmas. 😊🎄
What a great shot of you two with screaming reels… brilliant 👍
Great fun.
Not only were the Tuna hooked but so was I😂my arms were aching along with yours, great film. We always watch the fish locker at the weekend, its such a joy. Merry Christmas from sunny Dawlish😎
I am glad you enjoyed joining us. This was a really lucky day at sea. 😊🎣
What a pleasure to see such amazing fish in uk waters, lets hope the trend continues with careful management
Agreed.
As always John,really enjoyed watching this one.
Thanks mate.
Great video John! Glad to see the comments back! I hope you and your family have a Very Happy Christmas from the other side of the pond!!
Thank you very much and have a wonderful Christmas. 🎄😊
Just brilliant as always John hope you and family are well and merry Christmas to you all thanks for the videos all the best for 2024 🎣👍🏻
Thank you Scott and have a wonderful Christmas.
Brilliant video as always well done lads
Glad you enjoyed it Scott.
Crazy catch 🎣 well done lads
Thanks 👍
One of your best vids!Absolutely stunning double attack!!!
Thank you.
@@TheFishLocker 👍👍👍👍
Incredible footage. Watching the porpoise/dolphins around the boat in the background whilst you were playing them were brilliant... Amazing fishing too!
Very jealous!
Thank you.
Well done lads. Nice to see tuna and be returned safely. Merry Xmas and a happy new year to you and the locker family and chris😊🎉🎉
Have a good one Dave. 👍🏻🎄
Fantastic watch_bit disappointing that people question your integrity in the comments-have learned so much from your videos and you are a role model for new generation and old codgers like me.
Sadly social media and the internet has bred an entire generation of people who have been able to say whatever they want and not get punched in the face. And it shows. Keyboard cowards.
Great video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
John, make some great videos and you had a pair a few years ago while fishing alone and it was great to see you at it again. They are a great sporting fish and will be accidentally hooked. The pair of you work well as a team and demonstrated great skills not harming them.
Chris and I have had some amazing fish between us and work very well together. 👍🏻🎣
Brilliant, John. 2 cracking bluefin and some very decent pollack, wrasse and bass. What more could you ask for? Glad your comments are back up, haven't been able to see them for some time. Keep up the good work. Was meant to have been out on a charter on Friday 15th's weather window but couldn't get there.
Ah that’s a shame bud. Better luck next time.
Wowwww....another fantastic video john and chris.....also another brilliant year of fishing cheers John for all the videos this year all the hard work that goes into making them are appreciated greatly..all the best have a great Xmas and a fantastic new year marra 😃👌
It is our pleasure bud. Best wishes to you and yours. 👍🏻🎄
Excellent video and both tunas were beautiful fish 🐟! Love to see the way you both executed the catching of the fish. Top notch 😊 Merry Christmas to you both and your family!
Glad that you enjoyed the video. We had a great time.
Thanks you two; that's fantastic viewing for a Sunday night! Can't believe there's tuna that big so close to Falmouth!!! Seasons greetings from Merseyside 👍👏👏👏
They used to sport fish for Tuna off the east coast, behind the herring drifters, got to have been the biggest and best rubby dubby trail ever !
They are everywhere along the south coast and Wales/Ireland
Wicked vid, as it is . Lovely to see a tuna on film. Good stuff.
Thanks Matthew.
Your channel is a favourite of mine and my family! Happiest of Holidays to you and yours, John! From Calgary 🇨🇦 Tim
I’m glad you enjoy joining us on our adventures mate.
Tuna can fight like crazy but I find it is like a death-spiral to bring them to the boat. Not my favorite game fish. But a Thresher or Mako is the best big fish game for the fight. I took my work mates off Montauk point 20 miles to the Gulfstream charter shark fishing and it was fabulous. Seeing a group of 25 year-old office workers scramble when that Thresher was on-board with blood everywhere ... priceless. They bellowed it was the best team bonding experience in their young lives. I am now forever their Captain MattyO. All the best !
I absolutely agree. Thresher shark fishing beats all other U.K. species for the fight.
A bit late catching up with this video. Awesome fishing, as always John! That 2nd tuna was a beast...great to see them in our waters!
The love, care and attention you give to our ocean dwellers is always great to see.
Surprised you didn't invite your Pollack home for dinner though! 😁
I wish you, Hannah, James and all the family a very merry Christmas. Have a fab time and look forward to a productive 2024! All the best. 👍
Aye mate I have a freezer filled with Pollack at the minute. They can go back to get bigger. 😉🎣
Every fish was fantastic , even the small Billy bass . Great to see tuna put up a fight also ... Great video...😊
I love them all mate.
John, when you both were hooked up on the bigger rigs, you and Chris moved in tandem, almost like a ballet. It was a lovely sight. Happy Holidays to both of you and your families! 🎉🎉🎉
We work very well as a team.
Wet the reel! 😂It's great to see these amazing fish. That's fishing you never know what will turn up. 👍
You’ve got to love it. 💙🎣
Brilliant fishing as always lads👍
Thanks Peter.
The tuna were lovely, but not as nice as those skies!! Great video John 😉🏴👍
Thanks Phil.
Beautiful fish well done guys
Thank you. All the best 👍🏻
Great video John (& Chris), tight lines for 2024😊
Thanks mate.
Amazing video John great to see tuna making a come back in uk waters and numbers increase
They are incredible aren’t they.
Another epic video JL, if we don’t see you again before have a very happy Christmas to you and your family.
Same to you. Thank you 🙏🏼😊
Another superb film john, well done lads!
Thank you.
Maybe not what you were after but still very entertaining watching you both catching the Tuna, reviving them & then the release. All very entertaining to watch & to listen to as always. You & all your family have a great Christmas John, cheers to Hannah & James as well. Cheer3s, Don from South Australia.
Thank you Don and best wishes to you and yours my friend. Merry Christmas. 💙🎄
Hard work but interesting ! Happy Christmas and all the best for the new year to you and your family 👏👏👍
Thanks Stuart.
Well done absolutely amazing. Seen tuna jump right out the water about 4 miles from the shore down lyme regis when we were on a charter about 3 years ago. It was a sight i will never forget. Merry Christmas
They are amazing aren’t they.
thanks for this vlog i am happy to see you catch the tuna . good luck next time for a bigger one
Thank you, a bigger one would be cool. 💪🏻🎣
That is good. All the hard work just to release oh well.Good job to both of you stayed calm all angles no tangles.
There’s nothing to do but keep calm. Getting all in a flap doesn’t help anything just makes it all more difficult.
2:50 love how theres a pod of dolphins casually swimming past :) great video as always :).
They do love this boat.
Thanks for the video. Pollock make the best fish fingers ,my 5 year old son loves making them
So does mine!! 🤣👍🏻
Seriously good effort John. What beautiful animals they are. Sod all the haters man. I've seen you have turned comments off recently and can only lmagine that's from negativity.
Love what you do man you are such an inspiration to me.
You, slippy limpets, Jarrow Angling and others have caused me to have some great sessions this year through your knowledge. Many thanks and best regards to you and the family.
The comments were suspended because we had scammers operating in the comments trying to trick folks. So to prevent anyone being screwed over I took them down. Now I’m contemplating saving myself the time and shutting them off because there are too many men acting like whiney bitches. 🤣
@@TheFishLocker best comment you have ever replied me John 🤣. Cracked me up! All the best 👍
Superb photography as always. I was worn out watching the tuna. Many thanks.
Haha. Too much adrenaline to be tired mate!!
Absolutely fantastically the best! Beautiful fish, T'wife even watched this vid with me. I've watched Wicked Tuna series, but from what I've otherwise seen, it's staged for the cameras. Yours is genuine and spontanious. Off east coast of Yorkshire tuna used to be caught chasing the "Silver Darlings", herring, that used to migrate down the coast. We've had a school of dolphins in the bay and off Bempton cliffs since the beginning of summer, so they're sticking around for something. Where there is bait fish, there's bigger fish!
Yes mate. Most shows like that are all “drama for camera” now.
Great to see these fish in UK waters. Amazed how close to the shore you were - I imagined that you would have been miles out catching these.
These fish can be seen in 5m of water at times.
That look you gave each other on the double hook up. 👍
Haha. Madness.
I’d take that as a by catch any day 😊
Great work as always.
Love your channel
Some days you’re lucky even when you’re unlucky.
That tuna was a beast man. Both were. Some nice big pollack too. Lovely session ❤
Thank you.
Super Fishermen! Haven't met like yous guys 👍 Good luck to you and your kids and Happy Christmas and coming 2024!
Thank you Sean and take care mate.
EXCELLENT . ALL THE BEST FOR CHRISTMAS AND THE NEW YEAR
Thank you Robert. Best wishes bud. 😉👍🏻
John you are the perfect angler who does it by the rules the powers that be in europe decree we cant catch and land tuna but they do i respect you for your catch and release and tight lines crack on
I do hope that the officials at DEFRA see sense and green light the recreational catch and release fishery.
What a great video loved it 👍👍 well done lads have a lovely Christmas
Thanks mate. 👍🏻🎣
That’s amazing to see those beautiful creatures in our waters, brilliant, hopefully it won’t be long before recreational anglers can target them legally, well done lads
I hope so.
Merry christmas and happy fishing in the new year 🎣🎉
Merry Christmas 😊🎄
Outstanding!!!
Thank you 👍🏻😊
I don’t think my back would take the strain! Excellent video, as usual!
Haha.
Hell of a day fishing worth the trip.
Sure was
Fantastic John 😊
Many thanks Henry.
I really enjoyed seeing the heavy gear getting a good work out. Never seen the belts being used on your boat, so it was fun to see. Last time I have seen them on your channel was when you were catching sturgeons on the Fraser River.
I did the sturgeon without a belt. But we did use them for our previous video for Giant Skate.
Ha! First comment covers my thoughts 😂 As a chef, I was looking at your catch thinking what good eating they’d be but I’ve been educated as usual by your bangin videos. That’s why I love your channel. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep on learning 👍🏻
We simply share what we know and love doing Jon. No drama or B/S, just a simple love for fishing.
Well done JL 🤙🤙🤙 top effort as usual 😂😂🤙🤙🤙
Thanks 👍
Excellent video fantastic viewing I’m surprised you’re not on mainstream tv.
We have had a few offers but to be quite honest we don't align with the political agenda of mainstream TV in the UK. I am a straight, white, married, educated, HM forces veteran. I don't tick the right diversity boxes mate. 🤣
