My favourite fisherman of all times john wilson is no longer with us but graham i am so glad i stumbled across you on you tube you are as enthusiastic as john and as fun to watch and enlightining to watch.👌
Hello Graeme. Very interesting video. Great to see your old fishing photos and videos. Happy to see more if you have the time. As always looking forward to the next instalment. Brendan.
Look forward to you sharing more of your histrionic records. I grew up reading your books in the 90s and they helped me develop my fishing skills. TA Fishing is great for all the new people who are starting out on their fishing journey and also for people who have been fishing for years there’s always more we can learn. I don’t think many of the other RUclipsrs out there will ever achieve the rod hours that you have put in, keep up the good work.
I remember seeing your captures in the angling press years ago, Angling Times and the Mail. I`m a little younger than you at a mere 62 !! As soon as I saw your name on the New to me RUclips, it brought back memorys of my youth fishing off the pier hoping for a big one. I watch all your stuff as I`m like you, I fish course and sea, Keep it up and tight lines.
You remind me of my dad, so enthusiastic about fishing and full of story's of times when he used to sea fish of Largs scotland, catch big cod and taking them home on the last train to Glasgow, getting funny looks off all the people going on nights out lol love your vids
Great video,as you rightly said bluefin tuna fishing in and around the British Isles has grown in popularity in the last decade.Thanks to satellite tagging we now know more about their migratory route,and when and where they’re like to be at certain months of the year. It’s also thanks to the increase in minimum sizes both commercially and recreational that the bluefin population has and is recovering.The evidence of this is now literally visible in the straits of Gibraltar and a few miles off Gibraltar,which is where I have always fished them. Twenty years ago they were only present in the straits when they were on their migration route.The last six years has seen an abundance
Thank you Graeme for sharing your knowledge and memories of Tuna Fishing with us. The Blue Fin Tuna I hope will receive protection from being overfished for sometime to come until they are well established once again in our coastal waters. We don't want another massacre like occurred with the shark fishing boats going out to Eddystone Light House and killing any shark of any size. The whole experience of you verses any kind of Tuna was a joy to listen to and watch. The science was also a great insight. Thanks as always for posting such great content.
This is a mighty video. Great information on the tuna. I reckon there are many people all over the world who would actually buy albums of those old photos. It is documented history after all.
thoroughly enjoyable, brings back many happy memories, I will not be able to spell his name correctly so I apologise in advance , but as a youngster I can remember reading a Mr Trevor Housby trawling lures for porbeagle of the isle of whites grounds and doing very well, if memory serves his most successful lure was white body and a red head, like a large pike lure.
I've read every article and book you've ever written between 1978 and 1998. I'm then in Cambodia in lockdown and I see a short film on RUclips titled 'old man alone at sea on a boat.' I watched a great many episodes before I suddenly realised it was you. It was like bumping into an old friend after thirty years. You have aged better than me. Reading your exploits as a kid was fantastic escapism and also a great part of my education. I am a teacher now and my education was almost entirely down to the fact my mum knew I would only read comics, and angling papers, books and magazines. I got every magazine and every Angling Times (A few Mail's but that wasn't as good)and every magazine. When my wife and I left for here I had to throw them all away. Thank you for all the stories.
I have done the same. Kept all the old Angling mags and some fishing weeklies,then suddenly had a clear out and dumped them. Maybe I should have kept them..Good times when the fishing writers weren't trying to ram tackle and baits down your throat,they were all about explaining the techniques to us. It was a learning time for many of us,now it seems more "instant success".
I remember you from the 1970s. I used to run a sea angling club and bought Sea Angler Magazine, I think you wrote in that. Or it could have been one of the others I occasionally bought. I also have B&W enlarger with a Minolta lens in the attic. Shame it just sits there.
Fantastic video Graeme, interesting, informative, big fish and an epic moustache! Magnum, Graeme Souness and Yosser Hughes. Tache envy here! Thanks so much for a great video
Enjoyable and interesting watch Graham, there’s a plack and a museum in Scarborough mentioning the Tunney club what was there in Victorian times and photos of old wooden boats out catching bluefin in the North Sea . Apparently they where plentiful around the time and as usual got over fished but are making a comeback. Tight lines
Evening Graham another great video again 👍 I've been fishing for about 35 years on and off sea fishing boat and beach! Would love to see more of your stills of when fishing was pretty great in the uk 🇬🇧 .my biggest fish I've caught of a boat was a cod about 29lb of the varne about 30 years ago great fishing then and that was perking with mackerel feathers aswell......
Thanks Graeme. Interesting even to us armchair folks who've never set foot on a tuna boat. I was long active in the club photography scene pre digital too. What were we thinking? Taking 200000 photos few would ever see. I suppose it is an inherent obsession to document life on earth during our lifetimes. I'm glad we have the interwebs now to finally share our archives and knowledge freely. Stay well sir.
I think Phil Williams,a renowned fishing writer of the same era would have even more . He must have photographed pretty much everything that swam around the British and Irish coastline. Same thing,we were all on 35mm film.
The weekend officially starts when these videos pop up. Thanks a million for these videos love everyone of them even if its just tinkering around the shed.
Hi Graeme. My apologies if you have already done it before but would you do a video on the best off shore boat fishing rods and reels based on your opinion please? I'd really love to see that
Always enjoy your videos keep it up it wiles away the long hours of work, I looked at your channel as I wanted to get tips on sea fishing which I am just starting but you have rekindled my love of freshwater fishing too
What an amazing collection! I took few pictures back in the day on account of cost, I have always been cheap. Now days a photo is near free so few caught fish escape getting snapped. lol
Graeme. Apart from the actual fishing i think it's your energy and interest in lots of things that makes your channel so fun and interesting to watch. Treasure hunting while beach fishing, the pallet wood boat, your garden, walking Jax, MREs, fish processing, the pallet wood house and so much more. If it was just fishing I don't think you would have the amount of subscribers and the amount of love and respect from us that you do. Thanks to you, Mike, your wife (camera operator) your daughter (pizza delivery) and all the guests, we the public have learnt so much and enjoyed every moment. On a personal note, I sometimes find it difficult to get to sleep and I'll play one of you night beach fishing videos on Hailing island to go to sleep. It's not the video is boring, it's just so relaxing to listen to. You are awesome! 😀👍
You find it difficult getting to sleep ??? I'd like to know how the heck to shut my brain down at night !!...So much to worry about in the World today,I did listen to a radio programme where some professor guy was saying everyone is experiencing more dreams since covid..All caused by general stress I guess.Anyone else out there just want a good,solid nights sleep,without waking up in the morning feeling like you have been sitting in the front row of a cinema all night ??
@@TAFishing Get the pool table cleaned, rack up the balls, grab your wife and have a relaxing time. There's a good chance it'll help, it'll just be something that will distract your brain before bed. If I lived just down he road from you I'd pop up and help you relax physically and mentally, there's not a lot I can do over the internet. I'd suggest have a look on RUclips for some meditation channels, you don't need to sit in the lotus position to do it, you can do it while sitting in a chair. I had to learn meditation because of my panic attacks, I had a choice of fight or flight, I decided on the third, meditation. Give the above a go and see if it works, you can only give it a go. 😀👍
Pleased you enjoyed it,I'm never sure if others are interested in the same subjects I am,but I am always hopeful the Awesome Army will watch the films.
hi Graeme i love you videos please keep them coming also i loved your lockdown videos when you was doing stuff around your garden i hope you will also keep these ones going as well i love your tips you give so thank you so much from Simón in Havant
I tell that to the man I see in the mirror when I shave in the morning !!...but of course luckily there is no such thing as a top fisherman...the learning curve just never stops...
I do try to mix things up. Sometimes it works and is appreciated, sometimes its not. I couldn't just churn out the same old thing every week. I get bored too easily.
Banff,Canada. I was on a drive across Rockies and wanted to see Lake Louise..Now that is a lake photo,..I will see if I can find one in the old slides.
Graeme, I’d love to go fishing with you, to me that would be something! That’s a bucket list item or whatever. But I don’t know if I’ll ever get there, you’re 71 and I’m 62, I can’t do a lot of things that I used too, know what I mean? Just me going over to the UK, GB mainly, is the one of the main items on my bucket list. There’s quite a few fellas over there that I would like to meet in person! But, probably just a pipe dream for me, I couldn’t afford anything like that, can’t do things like that on a fixed income. Anyhow, good good vid, as always mate!
Very interesting and informative video Graham. Love the old slides a reminder of my younger days with dad. Appreciate all your hard work on the videos. Keep them coming. Cheers Chris.
I'm frankly amazed the old shots got so much interest.I am currently seeing what else I might be able to put together that might be of interest. Might take a couple of weeks but I'm on the case.
Get that bait down again Graham .....good on ya having a go for those tuna...keep thinking outside the box!..slow trolling ..deep grooving .wouldn't !Ike much to hook a fish with all that paraphernalia attached in front of the bait.... More than mighty bluefin swimming under those waves...for all you curious fish watcher's.. That big cod.. Eastbourne...and u in a T Shirt summertime?? Good for you to show everyone how the fishing was years ago..to get useful sobering perspective..on how the seas can be with some good tending...many folk are living in ignorance over what they.have lost!....makos might not as !likley to be tempted by artificial lures in these here parts... metabolism and all that...
Hi Graeme, you would be able to create voice-over videos using the slides and telling us all about the background to the trip and captures. That would be really interesting, especially to compare to what the current fishing is like at those locations... I caught a tagged salmon in a Thames backwater at Sunbury a few years back. Similar yellow tag to the one on the tuna. I was float paternostering a frozen sardine and the float shot under and was zig-zagging around under the water; most un-Pikelike. Apparently they had been released as small fish at Molesey. It was around 5 lb. My mate also caught one on a silver toby lure.
Thats interesting.I remember reading about the Salmon release ,and maybe yes,I could put together something using slides and voiceovers. Trouble is it would be serious fish talk and maybe a lot of people would be bored by that and click off,although the current comments on this latest film appears to reflect a lot of "grown -up " comments appreciating the info. I'll have to put something together and give it a try.
Thanks Graeme, very interesting looking at your old picture of shore fishing with many fish contrasted with current difficulty. I also fish off IoW and would love to see some bill fish! I think an episode looking at your historical archive would be fascinating. Cheers Steve
I see a lot of comments enjoying it so makes all the work worthwhile. I'm currently planning a follow film up as long as the slide scanner keeps working !!...
Thank you Graeme once again a good interesting video . reminds me of my younger days ( i am 74 now still fishing)when i used to fish the river severn at Iron Bridge and Hampton load catching Chubb say again well presented informative interesting Video Baz
Fences down,huge branches broken,half a tree down,slates off,pergola perforated,enough sticks on the lawn to build a Bushcraft Village, pummelled Pampas grasses,and I nearly forgot...toilet cistern not working,flush with a bucket of water,plumber's car mashed as brick wall(not mine !)just fallen over and crushed 3 cars,one was his !...so no,I am not going fishing today...."A man's gotta know his limitations"..(Clint Eastwood ?? )....But...there should still be a Friday film up tonight 7pm..
@@TAFishing sounds great I'm lucking forward to catfishing this year. It was your vids that got me into catfishing after 25 years of carp ND pike fishing
Ex Commercial fisherman from falmouth/ Penzance and previous sea angler Vinnicombs great family of Commercial fisherman I skippered gamgy lady and girl alison2 and my Commercial boat was fh quest George vinnicomb was a legend of a fisherman
Hi Graeme, I have been to Ascention a few times in 1990 when i served in the Falklands. I didn't fish in those days, wish i had although we weren't allowed to leave our Portacabins. The heat was unreal. I believe they are looking at increasing charter fishing and dive centre there. I know a marine engineer and dive leader who is being offered a job there. His daughter is a marine biologist there. I may visit him at some point to find out more. He runs Burntisland dive centre. Steve in Fife.
Last time I looked I think the runway was closed for repair, plus it might be a marine reserve now...check it out as I'm not up to speed with all the latest stuff. The dive centre guy should enlighten you as to how things are over there now.
Nice video Graeme. I enjoy these types of vids. It's nice to see where the fish comes from not just out of the can. Have a lovely weekend. Greetings from Germany
I was in Ireland ?..but as I understand it you need to be on an approved Tuna tagging boat,which of course I was . I guess somewhere there must be a listing of all the approved UK Tuna boats but I wouldn't have a clue where you would look...Fisheries Boards maybe ? But they are out there ,spread around the UK I think. Maybe someone else can let us know if there is a central listing of approved charter boats ?..
@@TAFishing I instantly thought that as I posted lol, your heading out of southern Ireland waters of course 😅 got some beauties on video tho, as always great footage. Looking forward to more man on a boat videos 👍
Really enjoyed this. Only big game fished once for a week in Cabo San Lucas 30+ years ago and some 100lb+ marlin were brought back for eating, changed times.That location was fairly basic then but now a haunt for celebs. I am sure a lot of your 'old' fishing spots a lot more commercial now as well and lost their charm? Would love that guy filleting to sharpen my filleting knife lol.
I agree,he just stroked the knife which seemed like a razor...and I too got my first Marlin in Cabo,back in 1970 something I think it was .Had some great trips over the years,not been for a long time now. I think its a big resort area now , like so many places they change. I guess they have to. Called progress. Apparently .
The very first boat I went out on was Frank Vinnicomb's 'Monkswood' in 1976. Amazing coincidence and it also means I have been reading your stuff for even longer than I had thought. How did you know trolling speeds at such a young age?
I started Big Game fishing really young,20-odd,and had a bit of a thing about it. Then I got a 700kg( 1500lb) shark in the Canaries and it was so huge with such an epic fight,think it was over 2 hours,that I actually went off fishing for a while . Luckily it was short lived,though a 1500lb shark from 600 metres of water would probably be a bridge too far for me now.
My favourite fisherman of all times john wilson is no longer with us but graham i am so glad i stumbled across you on you tube you are as enthusiastic as john and as fun to watch and enlightining to watch.👌
Total respect to you Graham. Total love for what you do. Total fascination.

Trouble is it would be serious fish talk and maybe a lot of people would be bored by that and click off,although the current comments on this latest film appears to reflect a lot of "grown -up " comments appreciating the info. I'll have to put something together and give it a try.
Thanks Graeme, very interesting looking at your old picture of shore fishing with many fish contrasted with current difficulty. I also fish off IoW and would love to see some bill fish! I think an episode looking at your historical archive would be fascinating. Cheers Steve
Fascinating !
Smith buy that man a drink lol
Great video, very interesting and informative, really enjoyed it.
I see a lot of comments enjoying it so makes all the work worthwhile. I'm currently planning a follow film up as long as the slide scanner keeps working !!...
Thank you Graeme

Glad you liked it. I just wish I had a video camera back in the early days. But it was all still cameras back then.
You out fishing today graham got to be in it to win it 😳
Fences down,huge branches broken,half a tree down,slates off,pergola perforated,enough sticks on the lawn to build a Bushcraft Village, pummelled Pampas grasses,and I nearly forgot...toilet cistern not working,flush with a bucket of water,plumber's car mashed as brick wall(not mine !)just fallen over and crushed 3 cars,one was his !...so no,I am not going fishing today...."A man's gotta know his limitations"..(Clint Eastwood ?? )....But...there should still be a Friday film up tonight 7pm..
What happened to the follow up of the catfish video with secret bait
I'm holding onto it...its so good it may have to be tested a few more times come the Spring !
@@TAFishing sounds great I'm lucking forward to catfishing this year. It was your vids that got me into catfishing after 25 years of carp ND pike fishing

Hi Graeme,
I have been to Ascention a few times in 1990 when i served in the Falklands. I didn't fish in those days, wish i had although we weren't allowed to leave our Portacabins. The heat was unreal.
I believe they are looking at increasing charter fishing and dive centre there. I know a marine engineer and dive leader who is being offered a job there. His daughter is a marine biologist there. I may visit him at some point to find out more. He runs Burntisland dive centre.
Steve in Fife.
Last time I looked I think the runway was closed for repair, plus it might be a marine reserve now...check it out as I'm not up to speed with all the latest stuff. The dive centre guy should enlighten you as to how things are over there now.
love this video so interesting Luv your channel Luv from UK 🇬🇧
Pleased you enjoyed it,I wasn't sure how it would go down but I will try for more in a similar vein.
Nice video Graeme. I enjoy these types of vids. It's nice to see where the fish comes from not just out of the can. Have a lovely weekend. Greetings from Germany
Hi there Germany,stay safe over there.
I might be behind here, but I thought we weren't allowed to target tuna in UK waters? Or just that changed?
I was in Ireland ?..but as I understand it you need to be on an approved Tuna tagging boat,which of course I was . I guess somewhere there must be a listing of all the approved UK Tuna boats but I wouldn't have a clue where you would look...Fisheries Boards maybe ? But they are out there ,spread around the UK I think. Maybe someone else can let us know if there is a central listing of approved charter boats ?..
@@TAFishing I instantly thought that as I posted lol, your heading out of southern Ireland waters of course 😅 got some beauties on video tho, as always great footage. Looking forward to more man on a boat videos 👍
Good lord Graeme that harness must have cored you up sat on an engine cover.Looked pretty uncomfortable.
Very interesting
Great video. Very interesting. Keep them coming
Will see what else I can find in the files.
The intro was like jaws film
Looking forward to any old Looe photos mate :-)
I might find something,but it could be black & white.
@@TAFishing perfect mate
Really enjoyed this. Only big game fished once for a week in Cabo San Lucas 30+ years ago and some 100lb+ marlin were brought back for eating, changed times.That location was fairly basic then but now a haunt for celebs. I am sure a lot of your 'old' fishing spots a lot more commercial now as well and lost their charm? Would love that guy filleting to sharpen my filleting knife lol.
I agree,he just stroked the knife which seemed like a razor...and I too got my first Marlin in Cabo,back in 1970 something I think it was .Had some great trips over the years,not been for a long time now. I think its a big resort area now , like so many places they change. I guess they have to. Called progress. Apparently .
The very first boat I went out on was Frank Vinnicomb's 'Monkswood' in 1976. Amazing coincidence and it also means I have been reading your stuff for even longer than I had thought. How did you know trolling speeds at such a young age?
I started Big Game fishing really young,20-odd,and had a bit of a thing about it. Then I got a 700kg( 1500lb) shark in the Canaries and it was so huge with such an epic fight,think it was over 2 hours,that I actually went off fishing for a while . Luckily it was short lived,though a 1500lb shark from 600 metres of water would probably be a bridge too far for me now.
@@TAFishing Thank you for your reply. What an amazing life you've had!
