Just great 🙂
Dare I say it, "Cracking Lobster" 😃
Ahh! I have so many questions and comments! First, this was absolutely brilliant. You’re like the English Mr Rodgers by the sea - your voice is so calming and you make even seaweed interesting - that’s magical!
Questions: are the sucker fish bloodsuckers? They reminded me a lot of leeches. I bet they’ve scared more than one tourist! The thong weed was fascinating- are there uses for that? Maybe dried out?
And lastly - did you just eat lobster caviar!? 🥂😊
Can I buy your merch?
Terry M I have no idea what you are talking about lol
I love seeing you spend time with your son. You’re making memories for him that will last a life time
- I have honestly been waiting since before our son was born to do these things with him. 😊
@@TheFishLocker some of my most cherished memories with my dad were when he took me fishing on a yacht and going lake fishing with him. I'm 52 next month and those memories are still fresh in my head.
@@Zooumberg im 42 and im still waiting for my uncle frank to die so i can tell people about my memories hes been making me keep a secret all this time
@@lukegamerdonkey6663 most people won’t dig that sense of humour. Very “military humour”
@@TheFishLocker ❤️😂😂 yeah me n frank we used to dip aunty marys dentures in the toilet 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂😂
Can't beat making memories with the boy mate, cherish them cuddles, they don't last long! My youngest is 16 tomorrow!
- Haha. Cuddles turn into headlocks. 🤣
@@TheFishLocker 🤣🤣🤣
I’m just saying this would be a perfect first date!!!! I love how he eats everything he catches and leaves the little ones to grow!!!
I don't know many women who would agree to go raking about in rock pools for their dinner on a first date. 🤣
@@TheFishLocker dream date fyi there are plenty who would enjoy
My wife looks over my shoulder and all she noticed was the giant bucket of chocolate. I think she is on Amazon now. Great video as always.
- Haha. It was a gift from my father in law. He runs a galley. 👍🏻😊
@@TheFishLocker That's what she misses most of all From the UK. All the best.
🤣🤣
I reckon you would make a fantastic marine biologist mate, haha. Love the sheer amount of knowledge you have about sea creatures. Well done with that lobster, too bad you didn't catch the other one, would have made a nice dinner for the family. Another great video and two thumbs up from me!
- I did want to be a marine biologist when I was a boy. Which is where my passion for nature began. Caught one / missed one. Not bad odds. 😊🦞🤷🏻♂️
Mr. and Mrs. and Jr. Fishlocker, you are the best respite from stress and I'm always learning from each of you. For this and you all, I am grateful 🙏
We are so glad that you are enjoying our content Wendy 🎣👍🏻
😂 James was more interested in smashing the shells than eating.
- Yes he was. Smashing things or playing with the fire. Haha. 🦞🔥
I literally just picked up my Fishlocker swag from the post and a new video drops. 💪
- Now that’s perfect timing!! 😊👍🏻🦞
James is just adorable. He certainly loves hangin with dad. Next time you need two rocket stoves. One to cook on and one for James to sit on. Enjoyed the video greatly. Stay safe and God bless.
- Haha. Next time I think janes is just going to have his own fire!! 🤣🔥
Watching you and James takes me back to the days when I took my son fishing and shooting in North Yorkshire - we fished in and around Whitby many times. He just turned 35 two days ago but those days seem like yesterday when I see your videos! Cherish the times with him John - he'll grow up so fast!
Your son is the same age as me. 😉
How`s Ronnie?
You're very educated on the sea life... Thanks for sharing your knowledge, skills, and adventure with us!
- It is my pleasure Rachel. I hope that our videos may encourage others to take an interest in the natural world around them. 😊
Great to see you saving the second lobster for another day.
- Thats one in the bank mate. 😉👍🏻🦞
That lobster was huge!! Loved watching Just James hone his lobster cracking skills! I hope he remembers this when he grows up!! Wonderful video as always!
- Thank you mate. Take care. 😊
the lobster was not only huge, BUT IT WAS BLUE! THE CHANCES OF THAT ARE 1/1,000,000!!!!
actually i searched it up and the real chances are one in 200 million, YOU GOT REALLY LUCKY THERE!!!!!!
in the immortal words of james the legend........'there's one for the pot!!' lol,
great video once again, and james just tops it off!
- He has some cracking one liners doesn’t he. 😆🦞👍🏻
James will always be remembered for his interest in smashing lobster!
- Its when he starts tuning green and smashing stuff that I'll be worried.
Another nice lobster.....another great episode....little man made it again!! 👌
- Hes the star of the show isn’t he. 😊👍🏻💙
I am genuinely surprised by the size of lobsters you can collect down there on the beach....is that testimony to the success of Fisheries management? Loved that Cornish Sucker...what a star ❤️👍😁
- It truly is testament to the fisheries management of the area. We have a larger minimum landing size than most areas ( ours being 90mm and most others being 87mm ) and conscientious fishermen. 😊👍🏻🦞🦀
@@TheFishLocker That must be a great comfort to the fishing industry in & around Cornish waters & for future generations. Perhaps young James will one day be a part of the Conservation Team 🌝
Great to see both father and son spending quality time together and there is nothing better than eating what you caught. Well done John your a terrific father.
- I am just doing my best. Which is all that anyone can ask. 😊
What a lovely quality father and son video. Lovely to watch!
- Thank you Nathan. 😊👍🏻
i love catch and cook videos, but the fact that you bring your son is absolutely amazing. as someone who never really had a father figure growing up, you have all of my utmost respect for making these videos and including your son! I love your channel sir, thank you for being a great example for others to follow! :)
- I learned a long time ago, that the parent you had - is not nearly as important as the parent you are. I may not get it right all the time, but I am simply doing my best. Take care and have a wonderful day 😊
Learning so much , buying a camper told the wife we can explore so many places ..... didn't tell her they would be all fishing Mark's 😁👍
- Haha. You sneaky dog!! Well played sir. 😉
10:23. “I've got it.” More like, it's got you. Great duel!
- Haha. There was a bit of that going on.lol
The perfect blend of Naturalist, Waterman and best of all, Dad.
- I'm just doing my best Jay. 😊
What a great way to spend 40 minutes. Thank you for this video - informative and great to see dad/son bonding.
- It is our pleasure. We are simply sharing what we love doing. 😊
Love the vids
You and Haze and Joe pk and Kent and Simon, bloke etc have inspired me to buy a whole load of camping gear
Many thanks
Regards
Simon
Great stuff Simon. I hope the weather improves so you can get out and about soon 👍🏻😉
Another great video. The excitement from James when the drone came out. It was exciting to watch him be happy. Great lobster too. Love the rocket stove.
Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and healthy.
- He is such a joy isn’t he. I love his excited voice. 💙😊
Another cracking video. Even better to see quality father and son time!
- No better way to spend the day. 😉💙
@@TheFishLocker Very vert true. love what you do!
My wife heard James giggle from across the room and just brought joy to our hearts! Kids grow up too fast, and these videos are precious! I will always call my daughter my little girl, even though she's now in her 20's. These are really life moments! ♥
- His little chuckle is just balm for the soul isnt it. He makes us so proud. 😊
i love your channel and my grandpa is from Ireland so love watching vids from there especially fishing hope to visit before i leave this earth
- Ireland is a wonderful place. We do enjoy it there. 😊
It's like watching you...In miniature. Makes my heart swell seeing a father and son connecting so profoundly. Outstanding job Dad. Thank you mrs fish locker for giving up your claws so l could enjoy this video. Highlight of my week.
- He is just a little superstar isn’t he. Take care mate. 😊👍🏻
Hello John I see you and James are doing well great to see you two together enjoying some Larry lobster 🦞 good on you mate
- Thanks mate, just doing what we love. 😊🦞
Alternative title: "Northern fisherman spawncamps a lobster"
A+ content as usual, John. Looking forward to some sweeping coastal drone footage in the future!
- “Spawncamp” I’m not familiar with that? Haha.
@@TheFishLocker it's a video game term, it means finding out where another player enters the game, sitting there, and waiting to attack them once they enter the game.
@@TheFishLocker Ha, my apologies John. I sometimes forget that I communicate almost exclusively in memes.
@@TheFishLocker it's a gaming term😊
Serial Snarker Alex - That is a perfect analogy of what I was doing. 🤣
37 minutes of absolute pleasure.....thank you John and James
- Our pleasure Jan. 😊
Very heartwarming to watch you two together!
- I love spending time with my little man like this. 😊💙
Stumbling across this is probably the best part of my day.
Thank you. That is really great to hear. I don't mind how people find us simply that they enjoy their time with us. Have a great day and take care. 😊
Great comfort TV and educating along the way!🦞
I’m 53 and I’ve never heard of or seen a Cornish Sucker Fish/Cling fish in my life. What a bizarre little creature.
Wish I was back in Mullion, 2 weeks seems a long time ago now.
Keep them coming. 👍
- It is a fine place isn’t it. 😊👍🏻
S Greer I’m 62 and I’ve never seen one either but that bizarre mouth looks like a strange fish we have in the south. I forget what it’s called
sabrinacle ev
Describe it to John, if he doesn’t know nobody does. He’s the man! 🦞
Wonderful way to start my day.
Beautiful scenery and family time with the lil tike❤
Beauty of 🦞
Have a grear day
Have a great day
Thanks bonnie. Glad you enjoyed it. Stay safe and have a great weekend 🎣🦞
I raced down to meet you walking in the kelp. by the time I got there you were gone.AGAIN WITH MY LOBSTER.
John this was a great video. I learned a lot about the kelp. Fish shells. you did alright . lad. Regards from the other John in Alberta. glad the other lobster 🦞 is waiting for me . keep your fingers off it . 🤠🤠🤠
- Aye mate, I left one in the bank for you. 😉
That lobster was a BEAUTIFUL find!! Good job!!! I’ve never seen such a vibrant blue lobster before!
We have some stunners don’t we. 😊🦞
i love your videos! they’re so great and you’re just so wholesome to me. i love how you care about the earth and how you talk about everything you know. keep doing what you’re doing!
- Thank you Liz, it truly is our pleasure. 😊👍🏻🦞
Bless James and his‘smasin wock ’ great video as always
He’s such a cutie isn’t he. Thanks for watching ❤️
Hey John thanks for another excellent video. I just introduced my wife Tracy to your channel via this video and she loved it. She never knew lobsters were naturally blue but she loves the taste of them so we are gonna get on the trail as well now. Keep up the truly outstanding content...excellent stuff!
- Thank you Chris. And good luck on your lobster quest. 😊🦞
I really wish I lived near the ocean but I get my daily dose of ocean from you :)
- Daily dose of vitamin Sea. 😉
This is, as always, just like a natural science class in college (in my younger days ;) mixed with a bit of marine biology (and some Pinchy Jr. having a go at your hand!) The one that got away probably watches your TH-cam videos (thus, "He was crafty") and knows all about Brittany and your Go Go Gadget cave reaching prowess... LOL! Then , the finale', Professor Locker instructing Locker Jr. in the art of the Knocking Rock... awesome! Wonderful as usual, keep it up, loving it!
Showing my age there, look it up Locker fans.
- Haha. I used to love a bit of Inspector Gadget. Aye that lobster was a crafty one. I know where he lives though. 😁
Your lovely son James is a star, what lovely father and son time, happy memories.
James is an absolute treasure isn’t he. 💙
One of my favorite channels on TH-cam. Great educational entertainment. Keep it coming!
- Our pleasure. 😊🎣🦞
So wonderful to see a new video. The Fishlocker is my zen moment of the day. Makes co vid 19 bearable. Little James is such a joy to see. I love being able to see the world through a child's eye. Love to all the family. My husband wants me to thank Mrs. Fishlocker for all the great recipes, I've cooked more fish this summer than I have in the past 40 yrs of marriage!
- Angela it is our pleasure to share a little bit of our lives with you and yours. Take care. 😊💙
I love your videos!!! They make me want to come out and do it! Thanks 😊
- Thats wonderful. I am very glad to hear it. 😊👍🏻🎣🦞
Thanks
Another great video keep it up good to see you and James out again having fun
- Thanks Tom. We had a great time. Take care mate. 👍🏻😊
The roe in the back of the lobster is delicious, so many people throw it away. They don't know what they are missing.
- It is a lovely treat isn’t it.
That 2nd lobster in the hole looked a bruiser, gutted you never grabbed him out, love watching cook ups on the beach. Great for mental health 👏
Glad you're enjoying the videos Jason. 😊
Im a builder.. Them Cadbury`s buckets deserve their dues.
Haha So true!!
Haha 😂 they need to start marketing them without the contents! Can’t buy them like that 👍🏻
Everyone likes a fire, snack and a nap! I love thinking of foraging now.
I know I always have. 😊
That was a cracking lobster 🦞 lol very informative as well!! Keep up the great work
- Thank you very much and take care. 😊
Oh my..... you're living your best life!! Love seeing you teaching your son how to forage and about all the sea creatures you find! I'm so jealous!
I had honestly been waiting since before our son was born to teach him about this wonderful world around us. 😊
Hahaha Britney!! Love it, John!! That's definitely one washed up Beach!!! ;)
- Going to be a lot of flies and maggots in a week or so down there when it starts to rot.
ive spent my Monday evening watching three of fish lockers foraging & more interesting than telly....👍.
Time well spent IMO. 😉
Yes Perfect timing!!!! Just posted!!!!!!!!!
- Same time same place. 😊👍🏻
Dad: "Let it cool down for a little bit first"
James: ...'WACK!!'
Haha.
You are teaching your son well on so many things, one day he may grow up to be a 'Conservationist' or something similar and valuable to looking after our wonderful environment. You and your wife's parenting will make him grow up to be a wonderful man I think.
That’s really lovely thank you. We just love seeing his enthusiasm and passion for the outdoors grow. We just hope it continues. Stay safe and have a great weekend 🎣👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker Respect mate. Love your videos!!!
Finding a lobster in a cave is like finding a remote under the couch 😂
- Haha. I find lobsters easier than I find remotes.lol
lovely to watch james and yourself having quality time.
I do love time like this. 😊
Love what you do and how you go about it, a really good mix of types of video.
Great to see you and your son just loving life.
Really like the way you take coastal areas that are local to me and make them feel completely foreign and new.
- Thank you, I am glad that you enjoy the content and our range of videos. We are simply sharing what we know and love doing. 😊
So nice of you to invite these lobsters to your home for DINNER.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️it👍Thanks.
Haha!!
The tips are great and very interesting 🧐!!
- It is my pleasure. 😊👍🏻
I've never seen a blue lobster. Absolutely beautiful
All European lobsters are some shade of blue. They are wonderful aren’t they. 😊🦞
I’d be far too scared of crabs and bugs to dig around in that seaweed! Good thing I can watch you do it fearlessly : ) love your vids, keep up the great work!
- Haha. Its not entirely fearlessly. 😁 Take care and stay safe.
The Fish Locker You too : )
The color of the lobster is astounding. She's beautiful
She was wasn’t she. 😊🦞
Great vid John, bet you won't be forgetting the location of that little hidey hole 😉🦞
- Haha. No I won’t mate. I know where he lives now!! 🤣
For the very first time I managed to pull the wife away from watching Corrie to watch this vid. All she could say was how beautiful that lobster was and surely you weren’t going to boil it alive. Please just to save my ears from further abuse can you please confirm that you dispatched it before it went into the pan. She seems to think I’m lying to her that you did in order to spare her feelings. So confirmation from you would be gratefully received, lol. Another fantastic father and son video. Thanks a lot John and James for sharing your day out with us.
- Tell you good wife not to fret. As you will see when she entered the pan it was lifeless. I might be northern - but I’m not an animal. 😉🤣
The Fish Locker - We’re both Northern too! But she’s still squeamish, lol
Oh my days, Jon saying shed their shell in a Cornish accent now, picked it up proper aye! ,😉
- I have to say it like that so people understand it. 🤣
We only got part way through this at the weekend, then something cropped up and we had to stop. We LOVE seeing you doing what you so clearly enjoy. Your enthusiasm is infectious. The time you are spending with Just James, as he is growing, he will never forget. He knows he is loved and kept safe by parents who are doing all they can for him. That is so precious. Keep doing things as a family - you will reap the rewards later! Oh, and next time, save me a claw! (I wish!) Love to all the family xxx
- AS I keep saying to you Liz. It truly is our pleasure sharing our videos with you. 😊
Get practicing with that drone, looking for some spectacular footage soon.
- Still early days yet. Need some settled weather to give it a proper try. 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker what drone is it mate? Crackin Lobster!
Another cracking video John. First time ever seeing one of them sucker fish 👍
- Theyre cool aren’t they. 😉🐟
I think all of us boys had a fascination with fire when we were young.
- Haha. I did. 😊🔥
Right, indeed. I did, as well. My little brother often experimented with flammable things, often inside the house, the crazy kid.
Fabulous. I wasn’t real fussed with the amount of seaweed, you are a brave man putting your hands in the lobster hole. James enjoys the outings on the beach especially the fire. No marshmallows this time.lovely to see the two of you together.
I’ve done it many times and if I get nipped it’s my own fault. 🤣👍🏻🦞
Love seeing Just James in the videos, as always. His demeanor reminds me a lot of my older daughter, who's just about to turn five, cunning, funny, and loving.
Too bad that Bloke got away from you. He looked pretty massive, but a lobster in hand is worth two in the cave...or was that birds and bushes? Ah, you get it. Lol.
I'd never seen anything like those Cornish Suckers before. They definitely are very interesting.
And lastly, looking forward to future videos with your new drone. Did you get the idea from Haze, or were you planning on getting one for a while?
- Hi Travis, yes he is very mischievous and funny. And I definitely won’t complain about missing that lobster. I did get a great one. Those suckers are funny aren’t they. 😊 I had been toying with the drone idea for a while. It was Joe PK who had convinced me I just need to take the plunge. 😉👍🏻🦞
Watching you and James hang out brings back childhood memories of playing in the river with my dad. I couldn't stop smiling the whole time. You two even have identical fashion sense, a dark polo and jeans 😂
- Haha. I am glad that you enjoyed the video, I do so cherish just spending my time with him. He is such a little super star. 😊
I do a lot of wildfowling and we always have a stout wading stick...but you have the camcorder
in your other hand lol
- I used to carry a stick a lot. But yes as you say mate. I have a hand full already. 🤷🏻♂️
Yet another great video. James is an absolute star!!!👍👍👍
- He is a proper little superstar isn’t he. 😊
Also, imagine how rich a compost all that seaweed could make for a garden. Do you often see people gathering any up for that purpose?
- No not really. People are too lazy.
Well, sad day for them. If I were close enough, I'd be grabbing a few bin loads to throw in a compost tumbler. Lol
I pay good money for my garden fertilizer made entirely of seaweeds.
The lobster is such a pretty blue color! It’s fun to look for shells on the beach! Thanks for showing us the fun sea creatures!
I agree, we have had such fun combing the shore. 😊
Very nice love the lobster catch and cook with just James! Those rocket stoves are great we use them every now and then!😄🦐👍
Thanks so much! We really love what we do and glad you enjoyed it too 🦞
Thanks for the teaching....but we midwesterners enjoy the spice of life
.....sailing our minds over the horizon!
Thanky and the best to your family!
Bless.....
Good luck to you.
some really great tips in this video. definitely gonna watch this again so i can forage like a pro lol. some really beautiful life in this as well. i love seeing all the different tiny crabs and fish
Thanks very much. I hope you manage to get out soon. Let us know how you get on 🎣👍🏻
What a precious little boy! I’ll bet when you were that age you were exploring the tide pools and learning all about marine life! Great job!
I absolutely was. I practically lived on the shore and in the woods. 🤣
another good video them lobsters look more and more appetizing
- They are stunning aren’t they. 😊🦞🍽
Just sitting down with my tea and seen this, thank you John
- Our pleasure Chris.
Man, you waited for the second lobster like a champ. Knew exactly what he was going to do. Impressive, thanks for the video, dude. Mad respect.
They are clever, but not that clever. haha.
amazing fathering hes having a blast and accully learning something thats really good to know in the feature.
hope he teach his kids in the future to find seafood likes this
Some things you just can’t learn in school can you. 😉👍🏻🦞
Nice lobster... and James is precious beyond belief in this video!
- He precious beyond belief 100% of the time. 😊👍🏻
Hormonal lobster having a grab! 🦞 great vlog today John and a pleasure to see young James with his cheeky face. ☺️
- Thank you Emma. Take care. 😊🦞
Those moments and memories with James are priceless, because before you know it, he'll be grown up, bless him, another cracking video, 😁
- Time travels so quickly doesn't it John.
@@TheFishLocker The story goes like this, I took my son Lee fishing one morning, it was his first time, he only had a light whippy rod, a weight and 2 hooks, well he caught the only fish of the session, but more important for him, he caught a weever fish and a crab, he was so made up, he was only 6, he's now 28, and he'll never let me forget it, ever but it does bring a smile to my face thinking about it, so the moral of the story is, once you give him his rod be prepared to be shown up 😁😁
Literally "Smashing"!!
- Haha.
That looked like one tired little boy when he was having cuddles 💙 exhausted and happy with his daddy and a camp fire 🔥 Delightful video as always John thank you 🐙🎣🐟
He’s such a trooper. Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend 👍🏻🦞
Ohh my and your lovely mrs can definitely 👨🍳 cook and hopefully teach the rest of us x
She's not just a pretty face is she. 😉💙
Wow that was a beautiful lobster!
Bet it tastes better than it looked. 👍
Cool new RC. Fun fun fun
James sure likes it!
Me too I love RC. Anything. 😁
- He was soo excited when we got it. 🤣
Another lovely video. Thank you!
- It is our pleasure Terri. 😊
As a major seafood lover I greatly enjoy your channel. You are a great host-narrator and you have taught me a lot what to look for when combing the beaches that are hiding their delicious harvest. Thank you.
Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed it. Stay safe and have a great weekend 🎣👍🏻
Your tips are great I went foraging the other day and caught loads of crabs thank you fish locker
- It is my pleasure mate, I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. 🦀👍🏻
