I admire your fishing skills but I feel very strongly that your teaching skills are even better! You are direct in your instructions, never rushed, always positive directions and heavy on the reinforcement, even when the wins are not that big! That's not just a dad, but a very good instructor and life coach! Cheers from Texas, USA!
I get emotional watching you and James fishing. My dad, God rest his soul, brought me everywhere with him fishing, hunting and camping. He grew up on the ocean in the town of Penobscot, Maine and we went to sea in his boat, fishing and collecting shellfish. but, My favorite times were fishing with him for brook trout in our woodland streams, pitching a tent for the night and having a campfire. again, all the best
There is something existential I want to say about life, as I have experienced it. when my dad died, he was sad he didn't have more time to tell us how much he loved us. @@TheFishLocker
Contrasting days for us. You go out with your best boy. He catches great fish, you catch mammoth fish, plenty of fun and filleting to end the day. I drive from Dorset to London with my eldest boy to watch Chelsea get beaten at home by Aston Villa and drive back in a despondent mood!! We both made our choices, on balance your day was better!
These father son videos are so nice to watch. They remind me of when I was teaching my daughter to fish. Really a special time in a child’s upbringing. I appreciate you sharing the experience with everyone.
John, I don't think he will, my daughters changed from daughters to best pals - I dare say James will do the same and want to include you in all his adventures.@@TheFishLocker
Well Jonh, I can see James in a few years having to help you out LOL, what a day out with father and son and a bag full of fish and lots of experience for James.👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣
couldn't find a better 1st mate! Happy day gentlemen and tight lines! and i almost tied my fingers in a knot trying to cross all my fingers like James can do! lol... James, you have become such a skilled fisherman! thanks Mr James for teaching us what u have learned! psssst.. Way to go Mr Dad! u r an inspiration for all.
Great seeing you teach young James to go after various species of fish and seeing young James catching fish way larger than I’ve caught. Great channel, great knowledge and a joy to watch.
James will become one of the country’s finest fisherman as his dad is the best teacher ever….what a dad…..what a guy…..all the best John…..your a Champion in everything you do mate 💯👍❤️
Another great video John. I have had several gill raker injuries from big pike. Dont stop bleeding. This is by far Simply the best fishing channel on youtube. Kev
Always worth listening to James....cool to catch a little porbeagle..love to see one.. Tremendous battle from that ling!...Great spirited beast...Well done James
It's always nice to watch you both, James must have had a good day with you and then also these huge successes with some huge fish. Now even Moby Dick has respect for the great fisherman James ^^ I wish you good healing for your hand. Warm greetings from Germany.
It’s so great to c u learning James the right way to fish and leave him to carry out what’s needed. He just a great kid u both should be proud of him xxxx
@@TheFishLocker top man. Just got back into fishing (not sea although I’d like to try). Put my 2 national medals to the test in a few matches, only been 20 years . Love the channel 👍
John. You and Hannah have a wonderful Son. Well done James. You are credit to Mum, Dad, the whole family and yourself. I love all Dad's videos but those including you are special. Thank you for today!! (And I hope the sandwiches were worth all that effort you put in!!) Wonderful video John.
This was just what the doctor ordered, watching you and James took me right back to fishing with my old man around Northumberland when I was about James' age and a thousand times after. Dad passed away a couple of weeks ago and those memories are what get me through. Here's to a 1000 more trips for you and James.
Another great video its a special thing that you have passing on your skills knowledge and your personal integrity regarding fish handling and conservation by only taking enough. Brings back memories from way back of my late father teaching me to fish. Oh and what a tale young James has for his mates about the giant shark that stole his lure😂😂
What a great day out john , made all the better with James alongside you. , stocked up the dinner freezer a treat mate !!I was super impressed how nipper got that conger to the boat and announced that a tee bar was needed before you’d said anything. Brilliant knowledge James 👍🏼 appreciate both your efforts 👍🏼👍🏼
Again a great father and son vid. I am impressed with James skills. Sure you helped him with the real heavy lifting, but all and all James was the man that was catching the fish. AGAIN he provided for dinner. I am sure that you are proud, and you should be. Greetz from Stipo from Holland
@@TheFishLocker your videos are utterly amazing. They show not only your passion for fishing, but you teaching the next generation of fisherman, James, and even now, his knowledge is building at a great rate. You make fishing fun, educational and special. Absolutely brilliant videos, please keep up the phenomenal work.
Another stellar video! I love seeing how James mimics your movements, style, and even your comments. He is turning out as a little carbon copy of you, and it's excellent!
Honestly John everytime I watch these videos am smiling from start to finish you both are so infectious the bond between a father and son…..a don’t need to explain when you know you know right 😊All being said tho bud couple a cracking ling and pollock there plus carcass for the pots.Give my love to all the family all the very best pal 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
Just made it back from a fishing trip with my middle boy about James' age. I completely relate to your last comments about our best boys being a little too helpful at times haha! We didn't catch the giants that you did but were able to wrangle some largemouth bass with a friend of mine. Thank you as always for sharing, John. Take care!
I admire your fishing skills but I feel very strongly that your teaching skills are even better! You are direct in your instructions, never rushed, always positive directions and heavy on the reinforcement, even when the wins are not that big! That's not just a dad, but a very good instructor and life coach! Cheers from Texas, USA!
I don’t always get it right but I do my best. Allowing him to learn and experience with freedom but safely and with only minimal direction. 😊🎣
Reminds me of my favourite junior school teacher(Mr.Jones) "That didn't work.Let's have another go and try something different".
Your son is such a nice boy. Good parenting for sure.
James is a little superstar. 😊💙
I get emotional watching you and James fishing. My dad, God rest his soul, brought me everywhere with him fishing, hunting and camping.

I have been waiting since before our kids were born to teach them these things. 😊🎣💙
There is something existential I want to say about life, as I have experienced it. when my dad died, he was sad he didn't have more time to tell us how much he loved us. @@TheFishLocker
and this man was a beast, in his day, he would bundle us up and drag us on a sled through snowstorms, just for the experience.
Beautiful comment..
All the episodes of the octonauts paid off with James 😂
Absolutely!!
Well done John, he's coming on really well.Good job Dad doing yourself proud fella .
Just doing our best. 😊🎣
Contrasting days for us. You go out with your best boy. He catches great fish, you catch mammoth fish, plenty of fun and filleting to end the day. I drive from Dorset to London with my eldest boy to watch Chelsea get beaten at home by Aston Villa and drive back in a despondent mood!! We both made our choices, on balance your day was better!

It’s great to see James growing in confidence and becoming a young man to be proud of, he’s a credit to both you and your better half.
James is a little superstar, he makes us so proud. 😊💙
Your lad and you. Memories for ever ❤
The best kind.
Another one for the dinner table good thing James is fishing.

I have been waiting since before our kids were born to teach them these things. 😊🎣💙
@@TheFishLocker it’s a special bonding experience. I look forward to the next one. Thank you again.
What an absolute pleasure! The time you spend with James is priceless. He's growing up so fast!
Nothing I’d rather be doing. 😊🎣
You dont have to be old to be wise do you James. The freezer runeth over. Thanks for a great trip out guys.
No mate you don’t have to be old to be wise. 😉
Great to see a father and son get on, you can tell he’s listening to everything you’re telling him
Haha. Makes a change. 🤣
A good trip and a proud day out with your son
He makes us so proud. 😊💙
Any day fishing is a good day, pleased to see you found some SUNKEN shipwrecks, those above water do not hold too many fish!!!!
Not all shipwrecks are underwater though. 😉
Lovely day out with the lad. Great fishing and a few fillets for the freezer.
Doesn’t get much better does it mate? 😊🎣
I wish I had a dad like you, James is one lucky young man, very polite.
I am lucky to have a lad like him. 💙
James isn't playing around today. He means business.
Oh yes!!
Great arm workout for the Locker lads. It must have burnt. Well done, very enjoyable video. James was the "daddy" the fish must like his new rod
Who knows but he sure did the business. 👍🏻🎣
Well done James cracking pollack thanks again 🎣🎣

Excellent John, another day of memories for James - couple more years and he'll need his own skiff.
He can have mine.
John, I don't think he will, my daughters changed from daughters to best pals - I dare say James will do the same and want to include you in all his adventures.@@TheFishLocker
Lovely to watch a father and son having fun together. Well done James

A great watch John,and James did brilliantly.When I hear you grunting you know its a big fish.
Haha. There were a few stunning fish on the really light gear.
I once told James he would grow up to become an even better fisherman than his dad & he's not made me doubt him yet. Keep at it James, well done !
He is off to a flying start
Fantastic Father and Son fishing and some firsts for James. His "and a hook" comment was priceless. 😂❤👍
Haha. He was really quick with that one.
Absolutely fantastic. I really enjoyed that lads. He's gonna be some angler . Tight lines and all the best
Cheers Julian, have a good one mate.
Love the way you let James work at his own pace; not rushing him or taking over. Excellent teaching.
Just brilliant,I was actually cheering James on
Well done mate
We have watched it again in our house cheering him on too. 😊🎣
James will become one of the country’s finest fisherman as his dad is the best teacher ever….what a dad…..what a guy…..all the best John…..your a Champion in everything you do mate 💯👍❤️
