Hauling the FishLocker Lobster Pots - Father and Son catch MONSTERS of the deep | The Fish Locker

- What will we catch in our Lobster pots? We love working a small number of lobster pots from our small family boat. Such a wonderful and rewarding experience that often brings delicious rewards. Hauling our lobster traps by hand makes it all the more rewarding when you catch something to eat. Join me and me son as we check our pots and talk you through the things we catch. Teaching the next generation of fishermen about the marine world and how to care for it - Including conservation regulations that are in place in Cornwall UK.
This video is in memory of my Uncle Dave "Scally" Locker. An amazing man, fisherman and friend. Who was instrumental in encouraging my love for fishing and the sea from a young age.

That's the difference between this channel and others. Most content creators would have munched that big one in a heartbeat. You and James celebrated him. That is worthy of the upmost respect.
I hope it is our depth of knowledge that sets us apart from others who try to do what we do. But I am happy with how you said it. 😊💙
@@TheFishLocker well there's that too lol.
true, thanks James you saved that big old boy x
I Agree I watch John and his family 👪 with my youngest daughter who's just turned 6 and she's autistic and this is really soothing for her ❤️
"Let it loose!' Not only is the pollack lucky but Dad is, too. James is a great sports person and a gentleman in the making. Well done Dad. Mom, too. 😉
What a special lobster that golden one was and the fact James knew how important he was to the lobster population and how much he learns from the continuing education he has about the coastal eco system from you
James continually makes me so proud. He is such a little superstar. 💙🦞
@@TheFishLocker he certainly is 💙
Videos with James are my favorite videos. He seems like such a sweet kid. Did you notice that he wanted him to get the wrasse out first?
Enjoy watching your guys videos very much! Sending much respect and 👊 from NYC. Keep going fellas, listen to your pop’s , one of the best Teachers you will have in Life!! God Bless and Great Videos. 👍👍
The care and respect you have for nature truly is amazing & to see James growing up, starting to learn and have the same morals is a pleasure to see. What a BIG haul and a really interesting evening watch :D
One day this world will belong to James and his generation. I want to make sure there is something worth handing over to him. 💙🦞
James is so cool, and I love the way he thinks and expresses himself, "I'm just here to have fun with you, not to do jobs!" 🤣🤣Bang on the money young man!
The innocence and honesty of youth. 😊💙
Blimey ! John this is now my favorite video of all time ! The combination of James and the huge haul of lobster and of course the gently treated ancient mariner. Cheers to you on setting a great example for other seafarers to follow 👏 - The invite to come fish Florida’s Nature Coast is always open. Thanks Bro !
We are in Marathon now for 4 more days. It's been wonderful.😊
Let's not cook that one! Very well said James. Let's face it, that kid was your lucky charm on this trip. Always a pleasure to watch Father and Son have a good time out on the water.
He sure was. 💙
I’m so impressed by how much knowledge James has gained since the beginning! He’s doing excellent!
He is clever isn’t he. 😊💙
There’s to teaching your son the importance of respecting old creatures! The fact he knew how special that big lobster was really says something
He makes us so proud. 😊💙
James' little voice "see ya Jeremy" he's so innocent, having no idea the joke only us over 30 understand 😂
Great video again!
He is a little angel isn’t he. 😊
James is so amazing, to know instinctively at such a young age how special the large lobster was and "not to eat him" was so remarkable, just as his knowledge of correct names of fish, seal life and dinosaurs! Keep imagining him in years from now doing your job, or marine biologist/conservationist and dad having a rest on the boat - a wonderful son to you both.
So long as he is happy and fulfilled then I shall be happy. 😊💙
Not too large, not too small, moderation in all things, John is the Aristotle of lobsters.
Everything in balance. 😉🦞
@@TheFishLocker It is nature's way.
A fine day out on the boat with first-mate James and, in honor of Uncle Dave, paying it forward to the next generation ! All the best.
It’s always a good day out when I’m out with James. 😊🦞
I love the father son time you spend with James to see him grow so quickly is such a gift. I just adore the morals you are instilling into James. He is such a bright boy and someday I hope to see an episode of all the knowledges you've given him when he takes all you've taught him to good use when he becomes a young man.
One day he will be teaching me.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING , well done James for understanding how important Scally is to the future of Lobsters . John you have taught him well.
He is a little superstar isn’t he. 😁🦞
We wish all the kids in the world to have a father like you.
I am simply doing my best. 😊💙
What a specimen he was.I am glad you returned him. Possibly 40 years old too. I hope he lives a while longer. Thanks John
I do too. 👍🏻🦞
Really happy to see James with you learning all the incredible knowledge you have. The world needs more responsible fishermen like you that know when it's best to send such an amazing animal back to its environment so it can create more amazing animals.
Hopefully our videos will help to encourage others to do as we do. 😊👍🏻
I hope that if the big lobster is ever caught again that the person who caught it shows it the respect it deserves and lets it go. But what an impressive lobster. I cant believe the colours. I hope your son never tires of days out with dad!! Its great seeing him out and learning all about the life in our seas.
I hope so too.
What a catch and release! Great to see Scully go back home to make more giant lobsters!
May he live long and have many adventures. 😊🦞
Lobster-ZILLA . . . Amazing that he's managed to avoid being caught for so long, and of course, we knew you'd do the right thing!
Managed to escape capture until we came along.
What. A. Lobster.
Huge and an incredible colour. Top men for releasing him.
Simply doing what we feel is right. 😊👍🏻
Ah totally enjoyed joining you and James on that haul John, very special day all round. Amazing quantity of lobsters , and a wonderful moment staring down on that monster lobster floating back down to the deeps! your efforts are appreciated mate .👍🏼👍🏼🦞
It was awesome watching him sink back to the depths wasnt it!!
Those red lobster pots made a long day short of pulling up traps. That giant lobster belongs in a museum.
He was a bruiser wasnt he!!!
As a parent myself, I see your absolute brilliant bond with your James. I feel the same still with my Son. He’s now 31. 😊✊🏻😻
Good for you Ric.
that could have been one for the aquarium like the one from a while back ;)
also lobsters are one of those rare creatures that doesn't die from old age but only predation or sickness....their regenerative abilities are so great theoretically they can live forever....the telomeres on the end of their DNA doesn't degrade with each cell division and that is what most scientists believe is a major factor in aging.
One thing that often kills them is they grow to big to be sustained by food sources
Sorry for your loss. That was a nice dedication you gave your friend Dave. There's at least one giant lobster who agrees with me. Pleasure as always watching your films.
Dave was my uncle and was instrumental in encouraging my love for fishing and the sea from a young age. 😊💙
RIP Dave "Scally" Locker and well done for teaching James conservation. I'm one of the founder members of "The Wild Carp Trust", we've set up an Ark breeding programme to conserve our old strains of carp (Wild carp and Ferral carp). It really is important to look after our fish stocks for the generations of the future. Hats off to you both.
I agree. One day this world will belong to James and his generation. I want there to be something left of it by then. 😊💙
I have never in all my time seen a lobster caught that size! Love how you are educating your son, and learning, and understanding that lobster should go back. Keep the video's coming. Great education for any age
One day this world will be kind to James and his generation. I want there to be something worth handing over to them when that happens. 💙🦞
Tu hijo es un campeón, gracias por otro gran video
👍🏻
Yet another stunning video! That lobster was off the charts! I wish I had videos of my dad and I fishing because they are great memories. You have a special bond!
That is one of the immeasurably rewarding things about our family videos. I love watching them back. 💙
Even though your wife barely shows up on the channel, James seems to really be just like her. You are a very lucky man to have such a wonderful family!
Hannah and I both work full time. Often when I fish she is taking care of James.
Probably the best channel for anything fishing related, we may not see these type of films again, so easy to watch and enjoy
Simple, honest and original content is what I promised to make. I shall continue as long as I am able.
I hope to live long enough to see your son fishing and exploring. My grand kinds are still too young
Me too. 💙
I would genuinely not be surprised if that gold lobster is several times older than his son
That lobster would be older than I am. Easily 40 years old.
Scaly Dave gives Pinchy Thanos a run for his money. Absolute beauty of a lobster. Glad you and James released him so he can help the population grow.
I think Scally was bigger. 💪🏻🦞
It makes me think of the folktale of the giant golden fish that was caught and released and in gratitude granted the fisherman three wishes. Or something like that. It's like you guys caught the Lobster God, and now you and yours will be blessed with many more lobsters (and other seafood deliciousness) to come
I like to think like that. 😊💙🦞
Would love to see another coastal foraging video with the cook-up, always enjoy seeing the collection of scallops, clams, crabs or lobster meals.
We do them when we can Tracey. Tourist season has been in full swing so we cannot do too much on the shore.
Wow John, what a fantastic specimen lobster!! James was right, too chewy!! Lucky you spotted the feathers hooked in in the rope!. Really pleased though mate that you notched that wonderful lobster. Thanks again for a wonderful video boys. Take care and stay safe. Graham🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞
Any time Graham, take care mate. 👍🏻🦞
I'm so sorry for your Loss.. seeing you & young James on these outings really warms one's heart. Thank you for sharing these special moments. He is such a special, kind-hearted little gentleman.
Thank you Suzy, best wishes to you and your family and have a lovely day 😊💙🦞
What a lovely tribute to the man who helped you fall in love with the wonders of the natural world - and thank you for now sharing it with us. What a whopper ‘Lobster Scally’ is……
He was a great bloke who loved the sea
💖🦂💖🦂💖🦂💖 Wow, I can not believe the size of that huge lobster. It's claw was bigger than you son's hand. I was happy to see that you both agreed to let Scully survive. What a wonderful father you are to teach you son these life lessons. Your son will definitely grow up to be a good steward of protecting our environmental resources. 😁😁😁
I simply hope that he is happy and finds joy in being amongst nature as I do. 😊
Great to see James. It's been a while. That huge lobster was a stunner. So happy to see it released. Thanks for sharing...
My favorite videos feature James. He’s just so fun to watch. He gets so excited! I especially love when he goes foraging with his dad and his mom. They are a really sweet family
We love getting out as a family but now James is at school full time we often can’t. 🤷🏻♂️
@@TheFishLocker I always figured you did that stuff on Saturday mornings haha
That V notch bylaw is a good thing helping protect future lobster generations, I'd never heard of it,well done to the people who made it happen🙌
It is a great thing if people follow the laws.
Calling that absolute specimen scally after your freind is a great touch mate. I also loved the comment from James 'I'm here to have fun not do jobs' absolute classic. Great video all the best.
James’ little observations make me laugh so hard. 🤣
How wonderful is this? Dad, and his magnificent miniature version, having a great day out!!
I love spending time with James like this. 😊💙
@@TheFishLocker Such a thing is fabulous to behold.💜🦂
Great haul, and a great lobster pot haul companion. James brought you good luck!
He sure did!!
thank you for showing people what a good fisherman/hunter does when they see a special animal that deserves protecting. more conservationists like yourself are needed out there .
Hopefully others may follow our example. 😊🦞
Lovely to see your lad following in his fathers knowledge and footsteps ❤️
He makes us so proud. 😊💙
James is there as The Director! Great trip with the young man who is becoming more and more daring! Well done Dad!
He is becoming a proper little man isn’t he.
Absolutely epic!! What a lobster! James has such an amazing childhood! You guys are great parents! Thanks for the brilliant video
We are just doing our best. 😊🦞
RIP Dave……thanks for the ride along John….another great video & lesson out on the boat 🚤💯👌❤️
It is our pleasure bud. 👍🏻
What you did for skally was amazing, well done mate! It’s good to see real protection for future stock, it would have been too easy to keep that and be well within your rights but you took the higher moral and ecological path. 👍🏻
Some things are worth more than their monetary value mate. That lobster had lived too long and Survived too much for his life to end with me.
That was another great video. James is a chip off the old block. It’s fantastic watching him grow and learn from you.
He looks like your new director,even down to telling you to put that incredible lobster back 🎣🐟🦞
He definitely knows his own mind doesn’t he. 🤣👍🏻
God bless you, sir!! The education you are giving that young man is priceless!!
Simply doing my best. 😊
What a great day for lobsters! I'm so glad you didn't keep the big one and notched him. Good to see James out with you as well. :)
I love time like this with James. 👍🏻
You’re a great father! And I love seeing the father and son out fishing together! Carry-on my friends from the USA!
Thank you, best wishes to you and your family. 😊
Thank you, best wishes to you and your family. 😊
A wonderful video John. You know, you are an amazing guy with all your knowledge of the sea, your environment, your knowledge of conservation skills & your ability to so present all this knowledge in the most amazing, relaxed manner makes one almost watch your videos nonstop. What an amazing haul in your pots but completely overwhelming was that massive lobster that even James knew you could not take home & cook. Outside of schooling, you & Hannah are giving him one heel of an education in life skills. You are brilliant in your craft, Don from South Aust
Some things Don, kids can’t learn at school. 😊🦞
That's awesome! I'm glad you put the old man back got to have some common decency and dignity in the business. You are a true professional and sportsman, great your kid knows better too. Acknowledging these things means greater things.
I agree Steve. Some things are worth more than their monetary value aren’t they. He has earned his freedom.
Wow! That lobster was almost half the size of James. I am so glad you v-notched him. He is very special.
He was a very special one wasnt he. 🦞
That's 1 of the most incredible lobsters stories I've seen.. Bravo to you & your son for letting him go on and perpetuate the species..! We have a lot of marine natural history places here in the US that would've loved to give him a permanent aquarium home so people can see what we're at risk of losing if we don't protect the species.. I'm sure the UK does as well? Kudos to you & your little man James... He's being raised proper..! God Bless.
I have donated a big lobster we rescued from the market to a local hatchery, the aquariums are not really an ideal place for them as they don't get the chance to breed. So he is best imo to be back in the sea. 😊🦞
@@TheFishLocker Totally agree.. but not everyone is as noble as you & James... ..? there are a lot of scalliwags that would just as soon have a huge TH-cam lobster boil with him (literally..).. but again.. God Bless .. do you have a Post Box..? I'm retiring & closing down my business... we literally have 1/2 a large self-storage locker full of what we call our "swag"... hats, canvas bags (very nice) T shirts, sweatshirts, caps, fleece wear.. etc.. it's our Logo Swag but you'd not be advertising for me as we'll be a USA only non-entity soon.. hate to waste it.. very nice quality stuff.. any interest.. hit me back with sizes etc.. & yes shipping to you in the UK is my cost .. just want to see it appreciated after my 30 + years serving my people.. email to ChriszAHG@gmail.com if any interest.. again God Bless... and keep posting with James .. it's a very positive that a father is teaching his son how to be a man & respectful of the fisheries that God has provided..
That is very generous of you. Our channel PO Box is Teamlocker Media. PO Box 805, Truro, TR19NJ. Just send anything you wish, if it will not fit and serve us directly then there are several local assisted living/food bank style charities locally that would certainly benefit from some good quality items. 💙
How can will they survive if every large lobster is put into a cage they were born wild and should stay that way we shouldn't choice for them that big boy knows how to survive and he's probably done plenty of breeding
That is an amazing haul from just a few pots, those new pots clearly doing the job nicely
They are certainly working well arent they.
@@TheFishLocker yeah man. Reasonably new to watching your channel, been watching the last 5 months or so and never knew I could enjoy watching hauling lobster pots so much 😂 even the mrs is liking it. She loved that behemoth lobster you caught, however she was glad you put it back
Thank you James and John nice to see you both out together again and what a giant of a lobster many thank to you James for saying he was special and would like him to be returned that was a very nice touch.
It is our pleasure. 😊🦞
John it’s always a pleasure to see you with your son and enjoying life together! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
We are just sharing what we love doing mate. Best wishes to you and your family. 😊🦞
Sorry to hear about Dave's passing,.
That was one huge lobster with amazing colours.
Cheers John 👍🏴
Thanks Phil. 👍🏻
Once again, a smashing episode. I love how James soaks up the knowledge you impart to him. He's gonna be a great biologist one day thanks to you.
He is so smart already!! He makes us so proud. 😊💙
@@TheFishLocker He makes all of us who watch proud. He's a right little trooper.
I love that you are a teacher. You've shown me a lot, mate!
We are simply sharing what we know and love doing. 😊🦞
Oh my goodness. So many of your videos have been my "favorite". But this one beats them all, I think. The lobster haul (so many!!) plus that HUGE old grandpa lobster were amazing. But my favorite thing is watching you interact with your smart-as-a-whip son James. He is wonderful, and your interaction with him is a model for other Dads.
Hugs all around from Colorado!
James just continually makes us so proud. His cheeky humour and his loving heart just make me beam with pride. Have a lovely day and take care. 😊
Jeremy Beadle
That was brilliant from John 🤭
🤣👋🏻
Have a question for you:
Recently I have been catching a few fish, caught a nice eating size sea bass from shore (52cm) and when gutting it I found a parasite. Its not the first time this happened to me, caught a ton of Mackerel and every one of them also completely filled with worms.
How do you deal with this? I decided not to eat sushi that day...
Does your rice also have parasites?
@@Shnookie3.14 tumbleweed
All wild fish have parasites. Just don’t eat anything raw and it won’t be an issue. 👍🏻
Whoa, this was one fascinating & informative vid! Great lesson on why you released giant ‘Scully’ back to the deep. You’re a wonderful conservator of sea life, John, and your son is getting some great learning! Bravo!
James is becoming his own person and the way he chose what we should do in this video made me very proud. 😊
Absolutely brilliant, father and son bonding session
I love time with James like this. He is so smart.
Would it be possible to take the damaged claw from the big one so he could grow a new one?
If they can grow an entirely new claw, wouldn't it also make sense that they can heal an existing one?
@@intellex551 I don’t know that’s why I asked the question you have committed but answered nothing.
@@boxcartwilly ok, I'll answer your question. Lobsters molt their shell as they grow. After a molt or two the claw should be fully healed.
@@intellex551 thanks that is what wanted to know 👍🏻
Lobsters can heal a partially damaged claw. When he moults if it hasn’t been fully healed it will be healed in the moult.
Hi, John, and your little helper, James. I love the way you two inter-react, and how you involve James to make him interested enough to maybe follow in your footteps - and how could ANYONE NOT be interested? You are obviously sincere in your wish to follow the rules to maintain the stocks, but what's to stop any unscrupulous fishermean sneaking more than their quota ashore? All the very beest - most enjoyable!
Fisheries officers do check catches at sea and ashore. 😊👍🏻🦀🦞
John you are a true gentleman to the fishing world and to take time out to educate James on fish conservation I can watch you for ever regards Ken
You are welcome to join us any time Ken. 👍🏻😊🦞
Ah great deed! James made the right call!
He has such a wonderful heart. 😊
Nice release! Thats what i call payin it forward!🙂
Long term investment. 😉🦞
Hi John ... another lovely Father and son video ... on lobster 🦞 pot hauling ... and what a haul it was 😃 😊...
Simply sharing what we love doing. 😊🦞
Great haul...Nice touch to name the Huge male in memory of a lost friend. All the best to you and your family.
Thank you mate. Take care bud. 👍🏻🦞
Holy Mackinaw that was a brute of a lobster. As you were showing it off, I was thinking to myself that I hoped you would V-notch him. The video really warms the cockles of my heart. Can't wait for the next video of the dynamic duo in action!
Glad you enjoyed it mate. 😊🦞💙
Great to see James joining the adventure! If any lobster deserved to be V notched this one grandpa is the one!
I agree.
That little man, his interest in nature , understanding of conservation and overall appreciation of the world around him is such a refreshing thing to see. Don't let him read the next bit hahaha...Knowing his love of our Jurassic age, next time you drop the pots you should add a little Easter egg for him. Stick a Plastic Ichthyosaur in a pot before you set them and take him out to collect them. The look on his face as you haul in an ocean going Dinosaur would be totally PRICELESS. Great vid again mate. always a pleasure to drop in and watch your content. Plus that Lobster.....no words other than BEAST 🙂
I am planning something similar. 🤣🦖
Thanks John for a really lovely video! Rest in peace to your uncle Dave, sounded like a good man.
He was a brilliant guy.
In the bath. Cup of tea. Quality viewing. Keep 'em coming.....
Sounds like you’re winning at life there mate 👍🏻
Great content - thats the sort of trip your boy will remember for a long time 👍
He’s such a bright kid. He makes us so proud. 😊🦞
Another great crab pot video John and great to see that the fishery appears in good shape, due in no small part to your great attitude towards sustainable fishing and the education of others, not least the next generation of seagoers, ie James, who already seems to get it! Another terrific lobzilla lives to spawn the next generation 😊
I hope that through our example and videos that more people will see the importance of sustainability. 😊🦞🦀
Wow , the size of that thing . My brother in laws cousin used to be an inshore fishermen off portland bill , he once said to me those sort of lobsters come along every once in a while. Very special, well done for letting it go
They do turn up from time to time. A real treat to see. 😊👍🏻🦞
your husbandry is second to none ..
your parental skills , are the same .
just love your videos ..
We are simply doing our best. 😊💙
As someone who hoops nets for California spiny lobster, these are such wonderful videos.
Your lobster are very tasty. 😊🦞
Wow! what a beautiful big lobster 😀 Great to watch , thanks John & James👍
Our pleasure Tim. 😊👍🏻
John, your son honors you by having a heart like his father.
He is a better man than I am.
It’s Wednesday and you posted a video. Thanks! My week is less dull now.
We do our best. 😊👍🏻🦞
We do our best. 😊👍🏻🦞
You are a credit to your generation, Father & Son.
We are simply sharing what we love doing 😊
What a joy to watch, never seen you land so many lobsters, it's great to know there thriving. Excellent remarks from James about letting the special one go. I'm only here for fun cracked me up. Thank you the both of you for a mid week cheer up👍
Haha. That made me laugh too. 🤣🦞
Looked like those pots gave you a great workout. Fun video, now I'm craving a lobster roll.
Haha. Yeah they aren’t easy to pull up!! 😅
You are to be commended for the way you are teaching your son conservation methods and explaining "why" it it is as you follow through with good actions!
I am simply doing my best. 😊🦀🦞
Nice one John, educational and informative as always. Pots are great catching. Great to see master James enjoying day out.
He’s a little superstar isn’t he. 😊🦞
Brilliant Smile Lad
Massive! Beautiful creature! I hope he lives another 40+ years...Great show as always fellas!
Good luck to him.
My good mate so happens to be Dave Scally, so when you named the big lobster Scally Dave i had to let him know. He shall be known as the lobster from now on. Cheers Steve.
That’s funny. Dave Locker - Scally - was my uncle.
I hope you all haven't been affected by the fires where you are???? You and the lil locker and the rest of the family stay safe
No we are very safe. Thank you for thinking of us. 😊
