Your new name is Johnny Beanbag.
Forevermore😂
Just subbed! I didn't realise that you had another channel. Just added some vid's to my playlist to watch later.
“I feel like there’s gonna be a lesson learnt here”……made me chuckle! You gave him his warning, if he wants to find out the hard way just how hot that marshmallow was then so be it! Exactly how I was raised, and I turned out ok (I think) 🤣👍
Well modest to a fault for sure!😎
Good lad, James. He's grown so much. Great to see father/son time like this. Beautiful family, Fish Lockers!
We are simply sharing what we love doing mate. 😊🦞💙
@@TheFishLocker I will say, you're an amazing father. Always warms my heart when I see you two! Also, I love the term sniper-vising LOL gonna have to use that now
I recently discovered this channel and got immediately addicted. Such calming content, no politics, no fearmongering. Just a normal family sharing their happy days with the internet. You can sit back, relax and hear for the 15th time that shellfish need the rolling boil and then 2 minutes
Sadly it means we will never be “Big CZcamsrs” as we simply share positive note nonsense content. But we love it. 💙🦞
James is a trip! So fun seeing his sense of humor and personality really emerging in the videos as he's gotten more comfortable talking on camera. Love his silliness--especially about Daddy possibly getting pinched! Lol! Also love how you reassure him when he says he's scared about something. You don't tease, you just tell him that what he's experiencing is normal and he's capable of dealing with it.
James is hilarious. He has us in stitches all the time!!! And as for our parenting, we simply do our best. 💙
You have done so well with your wonderful son, James. He has learned so so much about all the wonderful little creatures you can find out there, and you've reassured him with so much love and care, he's learned to be so much more outspoken and fearless. Wonderful family, we're missing Hannah today! ❤
All possible will only gentle encouragement and support.
I really enjoy how you and James are with each other. Doesn’t seem that long ago that he wouldn’t eat anything you foraged but now look at him! You must be so chuffed with him :)
Thanks James. Yes he is really starting to get a bit more adventurous with his food now 👍🏻🦞
Love watching and listening to you both……so much of your wisdom John imparted so sweetly to James - great Daddy’s aren’t often enough given the kudos they deserve but you do in spades John !!! 💝💪🏻🎉😊🌹😎🤩
I am simply doing my best. 💙
@@TheFishLocker Well must say your best is a heck of a lot better example to a son than my Dutch Ex ever gave our Son, which I’m sure will hold your John in better stead in his future 🤞🏼🙏🏻💪🏻whetever path he chooses to follow in life……you see. To be a good man, John, keep it up 💪🏻🙏🏻and the memories you’ll lea e your boy will be worth more than any sum of money etc; Hannah also has a similar touch with both your babes too 👌🏼🤞🏼✊🏻; love and respect ✊🏻 Kirsty ☘️🌷
@RollinRat it’s the most important job in the world which we’ve got to work at to get right! 🌺
One of the things I have learned in my life is the parent you had is not nearly as important as the parent you are 💙
@@TheFishLocker beautifully said! 😘
John, I have been watching you for years it seems now. I LOVE the fact that James has gone from wanting nothing to do with Lobster, to saying "hey!" when you have the first bite! You are doing it right mate, keep being you!
All it takes is gentle encouragement and he will explore it on his own. 😊🦞
@@TheFishLocker AND a patient, gentle teacher. Much love from Australia mate!
Hes the man, the myth, and the legend. Thank you for everything you do for us! Best content on CZcams!! ❤️
Simply sharing what we love doing Grace. 😊💙
Really enjoyed this time spent with father and son, teaching him the trade and the lessons learned from inexperience. Best part is that you and your wife have done a proper job as parents teaching him manners, being polite, and most importantly respect! You have a fine lad of a son. You have all the respect in the world Sir! Awesome job! -Steve-
We have just done as best we could. We don’t get it right all the time but we do our best. Take care bud and stay safe. 👍🏻🦞
You cannot beat kids for saying what they are thinking, priceless dad and son time 👍
He comes out with some crackers 😂😂
Top dad John! Proper role model to us who love foraging and fishing and want to pass the knowledge to the next generation ❤
I am simply sharing what I love doing. 😊
It's been very heartwarming to watch him grow up and learn. Funny and good to see he's got a bit of cheek to him too😂. Thanks for the laugh James!
He has a great sense of humour. 😊
Ever since i found your channel every sunday morning is just filled with excitement knowing a Fisher Locker special will be uploaded, you are without a doubt the best fishing channel on youtube wish u all great evening 👍👍 and thank you very much .
Ryan it is our pleasure to share our videos with you. Have a wonderful day and take care. 😊👍🏻🦞
James looked great in his little suit and sun hat, he's getting more confident in the things he does now.
Hope Mrs FL is feeling better... Thanks for the upload John.
Thank you 😊 he’s a little star isn’t he?!
You’re creating good memories with your son and I’m sure he will tell his future kids about the great adventures and times he had with you. He’s very lucky to have a dad like you and you’re very lucky a have a son like him, I wish you guys nothing but the best.
Thank you Javier. We do feel truly blessed 😊
I love how james is excited when it comes to lobster and also cracking the claws. But then doesnt want to eat it. He's helping out dad with the cracking!
He’s just a helpful kid. 😊🦞
It warms my heart to see you on adventures with James. Our time here is never enough. all the best
We are simply sharing what we love doing. Thank you for watching 😊💙
My favorites are the foraging videos! Thanks for sharing.
It is our pleasure. 😊🦞
I also love the ones when the tide is out foraging for shells n scollops 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
I damn near fell off my chair when James said watch out for your you know whats....Epic !
He’s brilliant 😂👍🏻
So loved this vlog father and son having a day out at the beach, OMG James has grown so much, please more vlogs like this they are so happy to watch in this time when its all going wrong.
It is difficult to do these at the moment with so many tourists around. 🤷🏻♂️
Wanderful video,there’s nothing like father son time.i can’t believe how fast James is growing as a father your doing such a great job raising him and teaching him.his knowledge of sea creatures and the parts of that lobster,that says a lot about you as a dad.!!😊☮️
We are simply doing our best. 💙😊🦞
My 5 kids jumped out of bed at sunrise and begged to watch your videos first thing (my youngest is named James and they all get excited when your son is in the videos with you). THANK YOU for teaching and encouraging sustainable harvesting and teaching us the names of everything/everyone to be found at your beach! My dad was an avid fisherman and it hurts my heart that he never got to teach me to snell a fish hook or take my kids fishing before cancer took him from me but your videos bring back many of the wonderful memories I have fishing with my dad when I was little and I am so grateful to you for sharing this experience with us. I'm stuck out in Texas because Army and I desperately miss my cold Pacific Ocean Washington State beaches of home. Thank you for giving me my fix of the sea!! Much love from across that vast pond! 💙💚🏞🌊🐟🦞🥰
Elly it is our absolute pleasure to be able to share our videos with you and your family. It sounds like you had some wonderful times with your old man fishing. And I hope maybe our videos can help to encourage your own children to find passion for the outdoors. Take care and have a wonderful day. 😊👍🏻💙
What a polite and decent boy your James is being molded into. Well done to you and Mrs. Fish Locker. It’s been a great joy to get little glimpses into such positive family times.
We are simply doing and teaching what we feel is right. We don’t get it right all the time but we do our best. 😊💙
James is learning so much off you John...It reminds me of me when I was a nipper, on an outing, fishing and foraging with my dad. Learnt so much off him doing so. It sure set me up when I was older and I still forage around the rocks with the Grandchildren, passing on my knowledge...and so it goes on. I agree, lessons to be learnt. Enjoyed your outing, and nice lobster. All the best to you, Hannah, and of course James.
That’s how it should be mate. Family knowledge passed down. Take care mate and stay safe. 👍🏻😊
James is getting funny, love the interaction between both of you.
He’s an amazing little character 💙
Took my boy camping. Gathered some crayfish, wild mushrooms and onions. had an excellent meal that night.
Sounds wonderful. 😊👍🏻🦞
James I getting really valuable lessons from you John. He is going to be so knowledgeable when he grows up. Good to see him eating lobster
James is growing into a proper little man.
Now I feel like a heel for asking about foraging videos a few days ago! I had no idea you had one in the pipe already. These are my favorites as much as I love all the lobster pot and fishing videos you put out… relaxing back and watching what nature has in store for you during these walks is almost therapeutic for me. I hope to be able to do this just once in my life someday. Thanks for sharing another great day with us!
I love making them it is just difficult to do with so many tourists around at the moment. 😉🦞👍🏻
James with the pearls of wisdom and caution there 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
James is an absolute delight! He is smart and funny - but with a true innocence. Long may that last! Lovely to see you having fun together. I hope Hannah feels better very soon. I had "the plague" last month and am still far from fully recovered, sadly. BUT it means I don't feel guilty for sitting and watching my favourite father and son duo, having fun in Cornwall! Much love xx
Thank fully we are all back to full health now. 😊👍🏻
James is adorable! Glad neither one of you were bit on your "bean bag". 🤣🤣
So are we. 🤣
If ever I have a day where I’m super stressed or feeling down, it’s so easy to put on a Fish Locker video, learn a few things, and just recenter myself. Thank you for helping me catch a calm breath, and for everything you all do!
I am very glad that we are able to bring you some peace. 💙
James is going to have the best time with dad memories when he grows up. What a sweet relaxing video!
Thank you Marion and have a lovely day. 😊🦞
Lol, James is so funny. That sack comment had me rolling on the floor!😂
He is a brilliant little character 😂
What a delightful video of son and dad enjoying one another’s company, both learning together. Well done John a true credit to you both. Thanks for sharing.
It is our pleasure Kieth. 🦞😊
Just moved out and am on my own now. Watching you and your son go on these adventures makes me really treasure the times I’ve spent hunting/fishing with my father. Thanks for the videos John
It is my pleasure mate. 👍🏻🦞😊
12:53 I am cackling. I really needed that today. Thank you James
He’s a little monkey isn’t he. 🤣
Wonderful to spend quality time with James, I have 2 daughters in their 30s now but we still go foraging John, regards Tel G
That’s wonderful Terence. I’m so happy for you.
James seen the fish “RUN” past 😂😂😂😂😂 that was too cute
😊
I really appreciate your son finally enjoying the lobster tail my kids are awfully picky as well so it's tickles me to see him finally enjoy it
Gentle encouragement is all it takes. 😊
best father son team ever.. Brilliant
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻🦞
Spat out my drink at 12:41 - wasn't expecting that!
🤣🤣🤣
Your Son won’t forget these magic times. Enjoy every second. Lovely to see
Thank you Paul 😊👍🏻
Brilliant not just good for kids but also great for parents to be able to learn more to be able to help everyone forage there's more than meets the eye, I'm going out and having ago well done
Good luck. 😊
Loving the 'guard shrimp' at the mouth of the tunnel!
Almost all have them. 👍🏻😊
Living the best life possible,young James is a very lucky boy.Loved this,thanks for sharing John.
It is our pleasure Barry. 😊
LiL Fishlocker is looking pretty cool in that Fla Keys hat!!!!
He is so cool 😎
Glad to see fishlocker jr is enjoying the tail! Still remember him avoiding lobster like the plague a while ago❤️
It just took some time for his confidence and taste buds to change. I knew he would with time. 😊🦞
Love the way you impart your knowledge to James and how he is like a little human sponge and absorbs all you teach him. James made me chuckle with his warning to you about the dangers of a lobster biting certain parts of your anatomy in a way only a child can do it 😀. Love the foraging trips as much of the amazing fishing trips keep up great work
Children absorb so much. Including you mood, tone and energy. James is a happy, positive little man. He makes us so proud. 😊💙
@@TheFishLocker He is such a credit to you both and you can see how proud you both are of both your children even if we don't see your daughter often
Great video John , for me , these type of vlogs are priceless, sharing with us memories you are creating with James doing what you love in a location that is stunning. As always , appreciate your efforts 👍🏼👍🏼
It is our pleasure to share them with you. 😊🦞
You are a good father, your son and wife are blessed to have you in their life. Thank you for sharing this with the wider world.
Thank you for your kind comment 😊
Glad you didn’t get your “Goolies grabbed” 😂 It’s great too see the young man exploring with you and having a great time. Wasn’t all that long ago I was a kid and it’s amazing how the mind and imagination works at that age.
He is really starting to get involved now. I absolutely love sharing it with him 👍🏻🦞
@@TheFishLocker and thank you or “go raibh maith agat” for sharing with us 😊
Lovely video John, so nice to see you out with James again continuing his general education & having a good time at the same time, he is a very fortunate boy & he obviously enjoys the company of his dad. Good one mate, cheers, Don from South Aust.
Some things you just cannot learn in school can you. 😉👍🏻
James is developing a great sense of humour, John.
Great viewing as always. Thanks
He is hilarious isn’t he. 🤣
Sir, What a Blessing you have, having lessons from Dad. God Bless you both. steve and june in Beaumont Cally usa
Thank you and have a wonderful day. 😊🦞
Nice father, son video. James is a lucky boy.
He is a little superstar. 😊💙
🥰🥰😂😂 God I love you James!! More James!!!!!
P.s Your language skills are just SO AMAZING you're growing up so fast and will be teaching Dad about sea creatures soon!
He is such a little superstar isn’t he. He makes us so proud. 😊🦞💙
What a mesmerising video, a joy from start to finish. The inside of the lobster's lair looked like a kaleidoscope. Good on James for trying the lobster. Amazing footage, thanks for posting... and who needs Florida 😁
I am glad you enjoyed it. We had a great time filming it! 🦞💙
iAd ire you and James. “At least he tries” and you don’t force him to do anything. He will progress at his own speed. Good boy James!!💕💕🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
**admire James.
Thats my form of "snipervising" I supervise at a distance so he can explore on his own but still be safe. 😊
James you are an absolute legend, when you said to your dad to be careful the lobsters don't bite your ba!! sack I was in stitches laughing. 😅🤣😂 Good lad James.
Haha he’s always safety focused 😂
A very good forage indeed! That change of clothes at the start with a snap was just perfect. But truly the "lesson learned" comment over the marshmallows just made me laugh. Good to see you both out & about!
We had a great time. We love sharing what we do with you all 👍🏻
Wasn’t that long ago James wouldn’t go near a lobster 🦞, now he’s actually eating some ! 🤣. Change so quickly when they are young
It’s great to see isn’t it. 😊
I used up wear chest waders when we went fishing, kept me dry and blocked the wind. The spring in Canada can be "brisk". I was also a fluffy girl and those chest waders so tight they were like a wet suit! Sealed around my girth so as to be near water tight....😄
Bet it made going to the bathroom difficult. 🤣
My 4 year old son and I love to watch these foraging in rock pool videos, especially with your son. The last time we were able to go to a beach, my son kept trying to turn over rocks to find creatures underneath, but unfortunately it was quite a sandy beach and all we found was a dead crab 😂🦀 (which he was actually ecstatic about). We love your videos! 🐙🐬🦑🦀🐚
Well as long as he was happy I suppose 😂😂 good effort though I hope you get back on the shore soon 👍🏻👍🏻
Hello John. Thank you very much for another brilliant video. You brought back very fond memories of me and my late Grandad crabbing for shore crabs in Aberystwyth harbour whilst on holiday using bacon as bait. He taught me how to identify male and female crabs. I'm sure that James will recall his foraging adventures with you in a similar way. Decades later, me and my brother re-lived the experience and went crabbing in North Somerset. The crabs there were so aggressive. More recently, I went foraging for seaweed at Rottingdean on the South Coast. Collected some sea lettuce and dried it at home to flavour sushi rice. Will look for kelp or oar weed next time. Love your videos. Please keep them coming. 👍
Sounds like happy times mate. The kelp I find is best is new grown sugar kelp.
If you ever come to California my pops and I have been tide pooling since I was under 10 (I'm 28 now) we don't get lobster but rock crab sea weed, rock cod, and eel are common if you know how to look.
I absolutely loved that you stated how to do the rock flips that's the first thing I tell people that go with me and often I do it myself to avoid the issue.
This is one of my favourite things to do with our children. I have been doing it since I was a young boy 😊
What a healthy and lovely way to spend time with your son. These memories will last him a lifetime, and he also gets to bond with nature and learn about sustainable foraging. Sweet video, love it!
I have honestly been waiting since before James was born to teach him these things. 😊🦞
@@TheFishLocker That is even sweeter! So happy to see such a lovely relationship.
My son is 20 and in college now. I miss those times your having with your son. When he gets older these videos will be worth more than the money you make with them. Maybe college money...lol cheers mate.
They are already worth more to me. 😊💙
Great Dad Skills John
Lobster was fairly Cool Too
Great Vlog keep up the good work
Thanks David. 😊👍🏻🦞
Fantastic John and James makes me remember when I was with my dad oh to be young again and fantastic you got James eating lobster respect 👍👍👍👍🥚✌💚
I knew he would enjoy it in the end, just don’t pressure and let him explore it himself.
Always so heart warming watching you both foraging together & finishing with a cook up with marsh mellows for desert😊
We are simply sharing what we love doing Tim. Nothing flashy or expensive. Just time together on the shore.
Fatherhood suits you. Well done. 🇺🇸
Thank you very much 😊
Once again another fantastic video, James is a very fortunate young lad. In todays wrap em up in cotton wool and elf and safety most kids don’t get a chance to do things like this. 👍
We are making sure our kids know the world outside the house. It will serve them well.
Very pragmatic health & safety warning from James; do we expect a new range of Fish Locker bean-bag protective gear 😂😂😂?
Haha. Half a coconut should do. 😉
James, dear... look how you've grown!
He is shooting away!!
one word john and james ...BRILL !!
Thanks Bob. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻👍🏻
James is awesome, he reminds me of my son. Seeing you two spend quality time together like this warms my heart every time.
He is such a little character isn’t he. 🤣
James' speech is coming on leaps and bounds - great vid as always John
He’s growing by the day!
Young James will remember these excursions with dad forever.
As will I. 😊
Top dad. I Love going rockpooling with my lad
Great fun isn’t it. 😊👍🏻🦞
@12:44 on the video
I BURST out laughing. James is so cheeky!! HAHAHA
Hahaha he made me laugh to. 🤣
James is such a good lad. You lot share a wonderful bond and that's charming to see. All the best for you Fish Locker's family
And be sure not to get nipped in the ball sack, i mean bean bag, by the spider crabs... hahaha this one took me by surprise!
Haha. He took me by surprise when he said it. 🤣🤣
That was a decent size Prawn to the left of the pic when u were looking into the Lobster's lair. A few that size would soon make a meal.
They would be great wouldn’t they 👍🏻 🦐
Morning John, good morning James! So glad we are rockpooling today!
It’s the evening where we are!
We had a wonderful time on the beach. Such a fun activity. 😊💙
James is really growing fast now--what a charmer!
Thank you 😊
Good stuff, John and James. A long time ago taking my children rock pooling in Cornwall on holiday (we lived in London), my favourite find was always a Cornish sucker. Very pretty little fish with false eyes clinging underneath a stone found at spring lows.
They are a very interesting creatures aren’t they. 😊
Yay brilliant dad mode.
👍🏻👍🏻
My father took me out lobstering,fishing and pointing out all the wildlife around us,it’s stuck with me all my life the memories will never leave me.it a pleasure watching you spending time and teaching your son all what’s around you.
Sounds like you had a good childhood and a good teacher. 👍🏻🦞
I haven't watched your videos in ages, and this was a great one to come back to! The transition with James snapping his fingers was adorable.
Welcome back to us Amanda. 😊🦞💙
What a well mannered little boy you have a Credit to you both 👌 great memories being made 👍
Thank you so much 😊 he is such a brilliant little lad 💙
Little james sounds like me talking to my UK relatives on the phone twice a year. "Yep....yeah....yep.....no idea who you are..." 😂
🤣🤣🤣
That marshmallow is toasted just perfectly!! Your fire works perfect for it.
Works a great doesn’t it. 😊👍🏻
Reminds me so much of my boy, pretending to like fresh fish/lobster, or at least trying their very best to eat it to be like daddy. I often do catch cook with my boy very similar.
I don’t feel like he is pretending.
I remember back home in Newfoundland, Canada growing up when we go over the sea shore and do the same thing loved it and now miss it.
What we would do because we knew come across Lobsters we had a net made out of a onion sack with a coat hanger bent in a circle shape and we would have pickled herring or mackerel in a small sack made out of the onion bag as well and lower in in the entrance way of the rocks and you never had to wait long before you see the antenna coming out, lol you just wait a few more minutes and lower the onion bag just behind the lobster and then put hand or foot in front and he would jump back in the onion net bag. lol LUNCH in the bag and cook on the spot because it was illegal to do, but hay kids will be kids... many many many years ago. Good vid James
Haha. What a simple and yet effective idea 👍🏻🦞
Burnt hand teaches best. Great video.
Some lessons you need to learn yourself
Great job, guys! Lobster and Marshmallows - awesome!
The food of kings. 💙🦞
John, I have been a subscriber and have been watching your videos for maybe a couple of years on and off and have had much fishing (coarse, Sea and fly), shooting/hunting, outdoors (hiking, camping) experience etc and so on for some 40 odd years, but I still find your video's incredibly informative, knowledgeable and educational, and what you are doing with James is absolutely priceless, teaching him about the environment and natural World around him, and in a practical way which he will never, ever learn at school, unless they take them out and do it like you do. And loved James's humour about the gonads being nipped aha!, think maybe Mum may have put him up to that hehe!. But I find your video's infectious! so when I watch them I try to limit myself to maybe two or three at one time, except for tonight which has been 4-5! ending with this one of you and James (no doubt with lobster flavoured hoola hoops!!) cooking fresh seafood on the shore, can't think of a better way to go! Particularly like the rock-hopping, shore forays videos, they are excellent quality and show the amazing diversity of species of everything we have in these Isles. Keep doing what you do, am a big fan....steve
I’m glad you are enjoying the videos and sharing in our adventures 😊🦞
Ballsack comment from James was gold…then the fact about the limpets tooth blew my mind? Is that true? Love your channel. This episode was one of the best. Hanging with the boy…and educating me! Keep it coming.
Rob, Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺
Absolutely true. 😊👍🏻
