    Hi John, another cracking trip out.
    The thing that bothers me is if someone is prepared to haul your pots, then they will have taken undersized crabs and Lobsters.
    Thank you again for a great day out.

    On top of being illegal (I would imagine) to harvest someone else's catch, it is so extremely disrespectful. I can't even imagine being that way. I'm glad you don't let it get to you much and keep your attitude so positive. You and the whole Fish Locker family bring an incredible amount of happiness, knowledge, and general positivity in the world and I truly look forward to your uploads. I appreciate you

    Another interesting unloading of pots. Your first string camera angle seemed slightly higher and slightly further away compared with the second and third.

Catching the undersized lobsters bodes well for the future though. Hopefully they'll mate and there'll be even more to catch in future years too. I know one thing it wouldnt be me nicking the lobsters because you'd be able to follow the sea sickness trail right to my front door.😂

    Hi John, I see very little difference in the two angles both are very good. The “B” that stole from your pots, hope he cloaked on what he took. Can’t abide people like that. Thanks for another great video.

    Fantastic video. It really grinds my gears to see one of yr fleets has been raised and contents stolen. Man oh man shocking.
    Thanks for taking out and getting some sea time with you.

    Hi, John nice video again can see your frustration with the pot raider ( robbers ) actions bet they don't care about the legal catch size or take number. ps looking good in your new yellow and blue whalers.

      I got the oilskins for the pots and the commercial videos. They’re great for working gear with.
