What a trip you had. Those gurnards were stunning. That shark you lost I guess was a large Porbeagle, but like you said there have been Threshers around, so could have been. To bend a size 12/0 hook like that, and that run it did, that was a monster, and you knew it. Next time bud, next time. Nice big blue as well. Awesome vlog John. You are inspiration for the masses. All the best to you and family.
I’ll get it next time. 💪🏻🦈
Thanks John for this it's my favourite fishing program just love it ♥️
Thank you very much Anne. 😊👍🏻
Hi John love seeing you on the boat but I was wondering when is the next coastal foraging video??
When the weather allows 😉👍🏻
Lol
In uk when u get chance to fish a mill pond u take it forage in any weather with all the sharks u have tagged this year john can't wait to see the data in the coming year..
I do love a nice shore forage video!
As usual John a great and interesting video. I could see how gutted you were to have lost that big fish, could it have been a blue tuna?
All that can be said is “that’s why it’s called fishing and not catching”. Like you I’ve never seen a hook bend and snap like that. There is always another day. Thanks for the Sunday entertainment.
I’ve had Tuna and that wasn’t a Tuna. 🤷🏻♂️👍🏻🦈
I've run into Sea Robins in Florida. Amusing to watch them scurry along the bottom on those rays and then "leap" into the water column.
Fascinating fish aren’t they. 😊👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker It made me laugh underwater.
That Gurnard looked lovely. Very tasty fish. I cook mine on the BBQ wrapped in tin foil, with fennel and samphire...
Nice. 👌🏻
Time flies when the fish are biting 😂
Always time for one more cast/drift ✌️🏴
Always!!!
The fish locker you should try the cox and rawle tournament circle hooks seems to be thicker wire and tougher
I’ve never had this happen with the mutsu extras before. But I’ll give them a look.
Great under water shots. More please
Thank you.
nice fishing vlog,
couldn't it be a tuna, this big attack? it looks like a starting of one.
theses red mullets are very tasty to eat , cooked in the oven.
It wasn't a Tuna.
again excellent and a bit calmer HI
😉🦈👍🏻
at the 15:00 mark, that is an amazing fish!!
👍🏻
WOW!
😊👍🏻🦈
Stunning ? Shark or maybe tuna ?
Shark I think.
Does anyone eat the Blue Sharks where you are?
Not really. It’s all catch and release
Mate, gutted for ya. That was a screamer, by the look of the hook, that was a megalodon 🤣 my anxiety was out the roof when yiu hooked into 2 sharks. Cracking video as always pal 👊
Haha. Two at once I can handle. 3 is very very tricky. 🤣
I’m apparently the odd ball who prefers the fishing videos over foraging.
There’s a few of us mate. 👍🏻🦈
I prefer fishing over foraging. We can be oddballs together. These videos are great - I like watching them then getting out in the boat and giving the techniques a go.
@@ryry854 I wish I had a boat. It’s shore fishing for me.
@@johndyer9232 Yeah that was me for most my life. Wanted a boat so saved up and got one last year. Worth the effort if you can do it, though with fuel prices it's like spitting gold out the fuel tank haha
brilliant channel john super informative and entertaining . your sea shore foraging and diving are absoluteley amazing. icing on the cake
Thank you very much Richard. 👍🏻🦈
🦈It takes some confidence to be that far out at sea on your own fishing for huge sharks, respect.
The calmness of that sea and the clarity of the footage was incredible.
It was as if it was one of those green screens they use for visual effects to be added.
Tight lines!🦈
I love it!!
Saddest thing about losing SUCH a big fish is not knowing WHAT it was, or exactly how big. Great video.
Painful isn’t it! 😫🦈
@@TheFishLocker what did cox and rawle have to say mate ?
Naah, the activity is called "fishing", not "catching".
I felt for you there John. Wow! It'd be interesting to hear what C & R say about that clobbered hook! I hope Hannah was understanding about the late return..?? My Best Wishes to the family as always John. Cracking video again.... Thank you.
That’s the first time I’ve ever had it happen. That was a BIG fish.
Terrific! You manage to bring your adventures to life in such a positive way. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed joining us mate. 😊👍🏻
Lovely sunrise ,fascinating fishing ,great way to relax after a days gardening! Thank you for a great evening’s viewing.😘🧑🏽🔬👌
It’s my pleasure Krystyn. 😊🦈
John ,you're the man ,single handedly catching sharks,love it,.
The sea looks amazing.
I love it!!!
Really good editing, especially love you including the underwater shots.
Thank you. 😊👍🏻🦈
Good man John, said it before but this is the greatest fishing channel currently out there
Thank you very much 😊🦈
John, those red gurnard were lovely, the footage in the water made them look like they had wings.
I wonder how big that shark was, I could understand your frustration on losing it... Another really enjoyable upload John, thank you.
Those Gurnards are stunners aren’t they. 😊👍🏻
How is it that the sea can be so much more daunting when it’s still like that.. Cheers for the show as always
Eerie almost isn’t it!!
Hi I’ve only been fishing for blues once and as a healthy teenager I struggled just watching this person hold on to a rod with one hand with a shark that can snap a hook. U are a literal god!
Just sharing what I love doing mate. 😊👍🏻🦈
Dam, would have loved to seen the fish that bent that hook out.
Thought cox & rawle reliable hooks.
They usually are. I’ve had some exceptional fish on them and this is the first time this has happened.
Brilliant sharking video John , nice looking blues, but as a fisherman you can’t help but wonder where the other end of that hook got stuck 🦈,huge run, sound of the reel spooling 🤣👍🏼.cheers maté appreciate your efforts
We will never know mate? 😫🦈🤷🏻♂️
Well done, John. The big ones that are lost are always remembered. I've caught a few gurnards on lures this year and certainly agree about how tasty they are. I'll check out the 'catch and cook', as I usually just fry the fillets in butter. Thanks again for the video.
They are delicious aren’t they. 😊👍🏻
Love seeing the sharks!! It's exciting to watch you bring them in. Growing up in Iowa in the States, I've done lake fishing. Love Walleyes. Delicious eating!
Stunning aren’t they. 😊👍🏻🦈
It's tough & very annoying when a fish is lost thru no fault of your own. C&R are my go to hooks too & have never let me down - like your similar experience until this lost fish, but then again just how often do we pull against a fish as powerful as this shark/tuna that straightened your hook? Not often, so how do we know any hook is up to the job until tested under extreme conditions? We only have the manufacturers word for it & place our trust in them.
I have landed some exceptional fish on their hooks and this is the only time I have been let down. Could be a simple manufacturing fault in that 1 hook.
Just another excellent video john.... being used to catching flounder, whiting, coalie, the odd cod off sheilds pier its brilliant to see sharks but also the Gurnard amazing, also it must be very time consuming replying to comments but appreciate it mate cheers and all the best marra 😀 👍
Haha. Yes it is mate. Several hours a day and there’s literally no way to respond to them all.
What an upsetting miss! I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine how much that one hurt. Don't beat yourself up too much though.
It happens. You win some you lose some. 🤷🏻♂️
I feel your pain mate that was a beast like you said a big porgie or thresher I think too. Those are strong hooks too great session tho
Aye mate. First time I’ve ever seen that happen. 🤷🏻♂️🦈
Imagine the power needed to straighten and break that hook…..awesome.
That was a very large shark!!
Excellent filming 👀 Spot on fishing 🎣👍 Tight Lines.... Keep them coming...
Thank you Pat. 😊👍🏻
Porbeagle = bronze whaler with very good dentures and a decent notion of using them. Gurnard = sea carrot or old croaker and one to go for when the chish & fippery has some. Commercially caught sharks usually rig, but the bigger the fish the higher the mercury concentration. Nice video. Col, NZ.
Yeah it’s likely to have been a big Porgie.
Great video John, was gutted for you with that fish that got away, but those blue sharks are such a beautiful looking fish. Loved it 👍😍
They are stunning aren’t they!!!
That is why I watch this channel - great sharking! Too bad we didn’t get to see the monster that likes big hooks straight.
I’m gutted I didn’t even see it.
Brilliant video John. 😲😲Some great underwater footage.👏 Those sharks are stunning, but I'm sorry, I still love the gurnard.❤️❤️❤️
Don't beat yourself up too much about the one you lost.🥺
On the positive side, I'd rather see a massive shark snap a bit of my hook off than spool me and snap loads of line and have that trailing behind it till it snags up somewhere.😒😒
Thanks for sharing👍👍. Hope the wife wasn't too hard on you.😀😀
Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
I agree Ian, I’m happier the hook giving way than my leader - leasing a wire trace in a fish.
Hi john you ok fella, another top watch cheers matey. You deffo no what your doing , i wouldn't have a scooby doo haha . All the best john from GRIMSBY.
Just sharing what I love doing mate. 😊👍🏻🦈
Beautiful day for it. Very informative thanks.
Useful info & tips just flow !! Shame you missed the biggy ‘Quint’. Stay safe keep ‘em coming. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It happens mate. You win some you lose some. 🤷🏻♂️🦈
Great John, watching this whilst the humdinger of a storm going. Thank you so much. Regard to family, greetings from Cyprus at 0600hrs 🐟🐟🐟🐟
I hope you guys weather through without incident. 🤞🏻👍🏻
@@TheFishLocker Bless you, John, my dogs are sad as too much standing water to go out, but all good. Love to the family and thanks for all your hard work. 🐟🐟
What a sensational day's fishing John. Glorious sunrise, followed by those two beautiful gurnard. Sharks a plenty, then wallop! The one that wasn't coming aboard!!!!. I really felt your loss, gutted doesn't say enough pal. Your gonna need meat hooks in future. Great video mate........till next one, tight lines. Arthur.
You win some you lose some. 😊🤷🏻♂️🦈
Great video, always enjoy these, very knowledgeable and does things right, commendable.
Thank you. 😊👍🏻
Wow what a great day's fishing!
What a shame that hook let go there ment to be very strong hook's when I wander how strong a hook is I'll load one up on the scales to see what it'll take. mustad hoodlum go quit far had it up to 55/60 lb still the same shape . I'd must admit that was painful to watch brings back memories of that trip down Loo.
Mate it’s the first time it’s ever happened with them hooks. I’ve got to hope it was simply a bad hook and a poor hold. 🤷🏻♂️
You CANT leave it like that John 😂 any update about what was said about that hook? I wonder how big the shark would have to be to do that! I spilt my cuppa in frustration when that came off haha. Awesome vid!
Haha. I’ll get it next time. 😉🦈
I can't get over how clear the water is and I'm loving the respect you are showing these fish!!
On a good day it’s hard to beat isn’t it.
Nice vid mate, that sea looked like a screen saver, beautiful. Gutted you lost that monster, good thing is though, that it only had a tiny bit of a hook in it which will decay in no time, if it spooled it would have been worse for the fish. No regrets, look forward to catching a bigger one next time mate 👍🎣
Aye mate that is very true. 👍🏻🎣
Just outstanding from start to finish. Amazing gurnards (could have been an upload on their own. I felt for you losing the big shark, more so as you never got sight of it. Anyway, as always great educational entertainment, thanks for posting.
It is my pleasure David. 😊👍🏻
These videos are incredible..Iv just got myself a sib with an outboard as this has always been a dream. Do you always fish alone?
Most often. I get up too early and stay out too late for most people. 😉🤣
great video as always. Thank you. Sharks are good eating. What are the rules in the UK for taking them home?
Sharks in the U.K. are almost entirely catch and release.
as much as i like cox and rawle hooks id never use anything other than a mustad 39950 np circle for the real big fish . even choose these over owner as iv had one of them snap =(
This is the first time I’ve had this happen. 🤷🏻♂️
It wouldn’t be fishing without “the one that got away” and now we all believe you! 👍😁
Haha. Yes at least the video is there as proof.
Brilliant watch, that shark was clearly of epic proportions. Hope to see you get hooked up to something similar again!
Me too mate. 🤞🏻🦈
Great nights viewing from a beautiful sunrise to the exciting runs you had. What on earth hit you & destroyed that hook, love to know. Thanks for another great video. Take care John 👍
We will never know. 🤷🏻♂️
Great Video once again John,
Ive watched that bit 3 times now and really feel for you on the loss of whatever monster that was.
itll be there for next time
It happens mate. I’ll get it next time. 👍🏻🦈
That must have been a real beast and i had to smile when you realised it was probably going to empty your spool !! The first fish i've ever seen you hook , that almost made you panic ! It would me too . Last trip ? I think you've got some unfinished business with the Kraken lol Thank you for yet another great video .
Haha. It wasn’t panic. Just me knowing that things were getting serious. 🤣
amazing video as usual john, ive been a long-time channel watcher and only recently saw some of your old carping videos, and i personally would love to see some carp fishing because nowadays i cant understand anything these ''professionals'' say nowadays, and you always make things easier to understand. cracking 😄
Haha. I do like a bit of coarse fishing every now and then. So who knows. 👍🏻😉
Late comment, but better late than never, but these blue sharks are absolutely gorgeous animals!
Stunning creatures aren’t they.
Well done John always a pleasure watching your fishing videos best wishes butty 😎👍😁
Cheers Jon. 👍🏻🦈
That was crazy, would love to catch just one of those, the fishing down there is just on another level, that was a fun watxh, great fishing as per usual John
Cheers mate. 👍🏻🦈
What an amazing sunrise John it’s 40 minutes of blissful escapism for me Thankyou ever so much those Gurnards was good looking fish I have heard they are tasty and looking forward to Jim showing us how to cook em properly. Don’t beat yerself up about the one that got away I think it was a submarine! Hahahahaha cheers again John
Haha. Cheers bud, take care. 😊👍🏻
Hi, John. Could you just briefly explain why you left an active school of giant bluefin tuna to steam far offshore for sharks? Here in New England, USA, any angler who did this would be declared legally insane and fitted with a cozy straight jacket! Best, Chris
Here in the U.K. it is illegal to target them unless you are part of the scientific licensed tagging program.
Hi John what is your fish finder and nav unit ?? Looks really good
There is a video all about it on the channel. 😊👍🏻
Brilliant stuff John love what you do and how you do it,bad luck loosing the big one, next time mate.
Thank you Nick and have a great day. 😊👍🏻
The way you handled the rod and reel during that big fight was right on.
My guess is others here will agree. That was a monster fish!
Chuck
I was faced with 2 options. Run out of line - which was happening FAST!!; or tighten down and try to turn the fish. Sadly it wasn’t my day. But that’s why we keep going back!! 😊👍🏻🦈
Great stuff - you make it feel like we're right there on the boat with you. Fantastic!
Glad you enjoyed joining me. 😊🦈
Meanwhile I'm packing gear to go to a lake where chain pickerel and bowfin are the biggest teeth I'm likely to have to account for 😂
I’ve never had a Bowfin, awesome looking fish though. Prehistoric.
it was a pity you lost the big shark, but to be honest its those kind of misfortunes that keeps us going strong until we hook and land the beastie.
I’ll get it next time!!!
Good evening John,
Another extremely interesting video and very educational , I was absolutely frustrated and gutted for you the hook that bent and broke off the end, I am still thinking just how big that one was🧐, the sea was absolutely flat calm , I’m hoping to get out soon on the east coast and fingers crossed it’s as smooth as this day in post. PS, iv been viewing in your gear on shop and ordering a hoodie and was wondering if you do the cap as seen in your vid ,?. I did have a look but couldn’t see, brilliant post John and as always fantastic viewing.
Thank you 🤝🇬🇧
The caps are done by special order from time to time on the Fb page. Just keep an eye out. 👍🏻🦈
@@TheFishLocker ok John will do👍 thank you
Hi John that was a great video, the sea is being very kind to you.
Nice one take care.
It is give and take with the ocean. She gives as you give.
Great video, sorry for the lost fish. In the states we call the red fish you landed Sea Robins. Some call them trash fish, for me they are great eating!
Tight lines my friend.
I think I mentioned that in the video Bill. It’s a cool name Sea Robin. 😊👍🏻🐟
I thoroughly enjoy all of your adventures Sir! Thank you for taking us along! Cheers John, from Texas USA! -Steve-
Cheers Steve. 👍🏻🦈
Gutted that you didn't get to witness the hook snapper, but might have been Jaws "we're going to need a bigger boat " moment. Great footage on a Stunning(long) day. Well managed John.
Haha. It was a big one that’s for sure!!!
Great video as always !!You have to bring James as boat crue next time haha😆I dont think you would landed the monster even if the hook did not bend I think it would spooled you out.But jet again we here stories of monsterfish that has been landed with thin lines and rods that never were ment for big fish so you never know. I understad that you were gutted. Every fisherman knows the feeling you get when loosing huge fish at leest when it's the hook that failes and not the line snapping.You still caught a big blue shark after all and that must have felt good. Looking forward to your next video as always. All the best to you and your family 😊
Thank you Fred, I had a wonderful session with lots of interesting and attractive species caught. It’s a shame about the lost fish, but it happens. All the best and take care. 😊👍🏻🦈
I'd keep that broken hook as a trophy. Too bad you didn't at least get to see the shark that did it.
It’s gone straight in the bloody bin!!! 🤣
Too bad, it was undoubtedly a big one that got away. I for one would have liked seeing it and I enjoy Your family's and Your successes. Thanks for sharing, John.
Your broken hook looks exactly like a hook fractured during crimping; as we know, hooks normally break near the middle of or higher on the bend. The tip probably broke off almost immediately after/during Your hookset but held under even pressure. Then the additional surface area at the 'new non-point' helped to bend the hook.
FYI I fish all my flies barbless and therefore crimp thousands of barbs. I crimp before wasting time & materials tying on a useless hook. The reason is that even high quality hooks (not too soft or brittle, that rust away) will fracture very easily when crimping the barb. And the breaks are rarely visible. To crimp put the plier jaw squarely & directly over the barb point. With firm, even pressure the barb will curl back to the hook or flatten. Never apply heavy pressure or twist. Barbs themselves can also fracture, creating a small flat notch (still illegal in most barbless waters. Fish legally.)(file or discard as You choose). Sorry about the long post.
Don’t apologise mate. That’s really interesting. 👍🏻🐟
That hook should go in your trophy case.
It’s going in the bin!!!
Iv had a few hooks snap or bend. You will always remember that loss.
Great video as all ways!!
Thanks for your content.
Painful isn’t it
Chillin’ out here in Northern Nevada USA watching my favorite fisherman catch some shark off of the coast of GB.
Too cool! There used to be only telegraph lines out here!!!
Chuck
What a wonderful world we live in. 😊👍🏻🦈
I remember catching sea robins on Cape Cod when fishing for flounder - they were considered bait stealers, and we always threw them back. Considerably smaller than yours, I think.
Get a big one and they are good eating. 👍🏻
That’s got to be the calmest sea. So lucky mate. Keep em coming. 👍
Cheers Shaun.
To quote the modern Sherlock Holmes. " Which one of you was the fisherman and which one was the fish?" Good stuff. I wanted to see that fish as well. Best wishes to the family. D
Either way you look at it, that fish had my pants down!! 🤣
Great video as always John. Hilarious when you caught the Red Gurnard and said you were going to keep it and fillet it, because at that point the Gurnard was looking straight at the camera with an expression that said "ooer I don't like the sound of that!"
Haha.
That's why its fishing, not catching, tough one to take
Mate, it happens. 🤷🏻♂️
Crazy session! Im absolutely gutted for you losing that fish John, straightening and snapping the tip off the hook, it must have been a monster! I love watching your sharking sessions, always full of action and excitement! Nice couple of gurnard aswell, they are gorgeous looking fish the camera really doesnt do them justice! Great video as always, all the best 🎣🎣🎣
The camera never does the colours justice but that bit of underwater footage of the Gurnard is good.
@@TheFishLocker it really is 👍🏼
Thank you John, fantastic as always!
I think I have said before you so remind me of the things I used to do but no longer able.
Glad you can relive some of it through the videos 😉👍🏻
Nice Gurnard, bet that shark was massive , be interesting to know what strength those hooks are tested at ? Maybe that would give you an idea of the power needed to bend it . Nice vid john
Awesome and frustrating at the same time
Think it was a submarine the way that we
Nt okk lol
Haha.
Perhaps that’s where a big multiplier comes into it’s own when fishing for large sharks.
Which you could see I was also using.
Yep I saw that, just a shame it took the wrong setup.
Still that’s fishing. What would your gut instinct be as to type of shark that took that.
do you find it disheartening that when you tag sharks and release them to help maintain stocks then find out they been caught and taken by the Spanish boats
Yes.
@@TheFishLocker thought you would a mate of mine who runs a charter boat out of Meva said he gave up tagging them for that exact reason because he was just disheartened by tagging them only to find out that they been killed elsewhere
I enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Mike. 👍🏻🦈
what fish was it?
A Snapper!!
Haha. 😫😭
I'm gutted for you losing the big shark he was not impressed with being caught as the film says your gonna need a bigger boat 🤣🤣🤣 looking forward to the next foraging video keep up the good work 👏
Aye mate, bitter pill to swallow but it happens.
@@TheFishLocker my son has autism and your videos inspire him to root about in all the rock pools when we go on holiday to the east Fife coast he loves finding the different sea creatures and is hoping to find a lobster one day so a massive thank you from me for entertaining my boy and stay safe put there and keep up the good work
I'm not superstitious. I'm not even stitious.
🤣🤣🤣
Cheers John. Unlucky with the big shark. Porbeagle perhaps. Superb video fella. Thanks from Middlesbrough, up north proper😎😷🐟
Aye mate, I’m suspecting a Porgy.
