Hand hauling the Fish Locker Lobster pots - Crabs, Lobsters and an idiot!!! | The Fish Locker

- 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 worthwhile when you catch something to eat. Join me as I check out pots and talk you through the things we catch. Including conservation regulations that are in place in Cornwall. In this video you see me make a real schoolboy error that results in my dinner going back into the sea. What an idiot I am sometimes. Still, it all works out well in the end.

You didn't 'lose' that first of-size lobster; the sea just took it back. The fact that you could laugh at yourself and shrug it off meant you were rewarded in the next string for your patience and humor~ ;)
You’ve got to have a sense of humour in life. 😊🦞
I love it when you do the lobster pots, it's like opening up a mystery box, even if the odd surprise gets away from you.
I feel that way too. You never know what might be in them. 😊👍🏻🦞
@@TheFishLocker very small lobster through them back and fish some other grounds not nursery grounds
Hi Matey, love watching you haul your creels. I was a recreational lobster fisher around Strangford Lough in Co. Down. I did it for 45 years, I m now 75 and have had to give it up for health reasons, so it’s a treat for me follow your escapades on CZcams. My kids all grew up with lobster fishing, we lived inland but had a mobile home on the coast, the kids used to get really annoyed if I went to the creels without them, but sometimes the tides dictated when you had to go. I really miss it, although I remain friendly with local professional fishermen with whom I always got on well, they would look after my interests and I theirs.
As an unlicensed fisherman I was only allowed 5 creels after the conservation measures came in, notching, size limits etc, not that I minded, I had always returned small lobsters and hens in berry, they were our future as I learned from the locals, it was great to see the difference these measures made as the years went by, bigger and more plentiful lobsters, the change was amazing.
I hope you won’t mind if I comment on one thing, I think you tend to steam a bit too fast for a lone fisherman when you are shooting your rebaited creels, if you were to get snared by a rope, you might not be able reach the controls before you were pulled over the side, every lobster fisherman’s nightmare.
Keep the vids coming!.
David.
That comment is very valid and it maybe just looks that way from the camera angle. It isn’t very fast and I do prep the ropes and area before shooting so it’s safe. You will understand the need for being motoring along so the pots are stretched out. 👍🏻🦞🦀
Very thoughtful. Wishing you and your family all the best.
Love the spirit of the lobster that got away, from this day forth he shall be named Macgyver hahaha. Also very impressed with the board on the back on the boat, works a treat for sorting the pots!
Works perfect doesn’t it. Really pleased with how it works
The fact that you didn't lose your cool over the lobster is mind blowing. I am impressed! Many would've failed the challenge.
Haha. At earlier times in my life I think I would have reacted differently. You need to learn to laugh at yourself sometimes. 🤣🦞
Top video John, always fascinated with your explanations, great lobster and crab. I'm a bit concerned about the boat just behind you clocking your pot location. Anyway, as usual mega. Thanks from a blistering hot 🔥 🥵 Spain.
It’s happening more and more mate. People literally follow me out of the marina wherever I go. Hence the early early mornings.
@@TheFishLocker That's awful! People rob your sets? What the heck. Lazy people, shame! You use them for your family! Best wishes to you, catch lots.
No big deal John. As long as it wasn't your finger.👍 had fun with you today. Thank you for taking me with you. Take care my Fish Locker Family. 💋
It is my pleasure, you are welcome with me any time. 😊👍🏻
I’m about half way through the video and I was cracking up at your reaction to the “lobster incident” lol! Even a pro has an off moment now and then! Thanks for sharing!!
Just one of those things mate. 🤣🦞
Fax
I love this show. It’s so relaxing and I learn something. I actually surprised my fiancé by being able to know the difference between male and female crustaceans, which is something I learned on your show. Thanks for being super cool!
Haha. Well done. I am glad the information transfers across in the videos. 👍🏻😊🦀🦞
Thank you for the laughter! We aren’t laughing at you, just know we are laughing with you because we all have done something like this, maybe not with a lobster but plenty of other things!!
It’s part of being a human being. 🤣
Great video upload. You are human after all since you make mistakes too with the saga picking-up the lobster and accidently letting it go back in to the sea. Regardless of this isolated situation your lobster pots did rather well with gathering those crabs and the lobsters that you did. An enjoyable and entertaining video - funny too with your facial expressions following losing the lobster. Thanks for sharing.
Accidents happen in life. 🤷🏻♂️🦞
"All's well that ends well"! Great to see someone so happy in their work. Regards
I am literally sharing what I love doing. 😊👍🏻🦞🦀
I didn’t know that lobsters claws can be on different sides right or left like that… I learn something new all the time on your show.. awesome
Clever aren’t they. 👍🏻🦞
Who else thought the ‘idiot’ would be someone motoring past too quick 😂😂
_Thats_ exactly what I’m expecting, not got there yet, but expected a jet ski or such.
Not today. Today the idiot was in the boat. 🤣
That was humorus, how the lobster got a free ride to freedom...... but the lobster gods much of been watching because you were quickly blessed with another three to choose from.
The ocean is give and take, sometimes she gives and sometimes she takes. It is all in balance 😊🦞🦀
thanks for keepin the bloopers in. its real like you folks, thats a neccesary part for the whole to be wholesome that those who follow admire and enjoy
Our videos are always honest. Mistakes and all. The only thing I ever remove is dead space with nothing happening and maybe the occasional blood spatter etc. 😉
@@TheFishLocker thats why we love ya:)
@@TheFishLocker Because you took the time to thoughtfully reply to my comment i graciously invite you to join in the second coming. It just was named that as i typed it, in practice it is to prevent the great reset, only because its desired outcome offers no benefit to life or the planet. In my first ppresentation i offer the great question of what do we really want as individuals and how do we as a people deal with that not ending in war on every battlefield. it ends with how i determined the first. later today i will post how i tested the first to determine the latter. i would love to hear what you find and if it was what you were looking for.
Thanks for the invite for dinner John what time John, I will bring a bottle of wine.
Sorry mate. Maybe next time.
It's like the saying goes, "If that's the worst mistake I make I make today, I'll take it". Great video
I can 100% support that saying. 😊👍🏻
Were you a military man by chance? You have a level of calm and stoicism that's sadly missed from the world.
Love the videos mate!
Yes I am/was.
Welcome to the "Oh Crap" club brother. We have jackets and hats. Love all you do John! Love home to you and the family brother.
Haha. Those are the moments when all you can do is laugh, learn and continue. 🤣🤷🏻♂️🦞
Thanks for the laugh John. First time I’ve seen you make a mistake but at least you kept smiling. Even your rubber glove are into ocean sustainability.Atb mate.
That’s it mate. Life has to be taken with a sense of humour. 🤣🦞
I’ve been watching Haze outdoors for many years. I love the crazy fella.
I don’t know the first thing about fishing John but love your channel.
Great to see you camping on the beach with your lad.
Priceless memories you’ll both treasure forever.
You’re a real Sound fella John.
Keep happy & keep reeling em in mate..
I was waiting for someone to come tanking past too close or shout abuse at you, only after watching it all did I realise who the ‘idiot’ was!!! Made me laugh out loud when it went cartwheeling over the side! Top content, keep them coming.
Yes sir. I am that idiot!!!
what a glorious way to spend a day in cornwall when sun is shinning,love cornwall so much coastline is beautiful your so lucky to live there ,and a delish feed to come 😁
It’s not hard to see why we love where we live is it. 😊👍🏻
It's great that you just laughed it off when that lobster was chucked back. You have such a positive attitude!
In the grand scheme of things you just have to laugh. It was just a lobster, and it was pretty funny.
I'm sure I'm not the first, and I'm sure I won't be the last, but the Discovery Channel should have you on it and label it, " The Friendliest Catch". This is my go-to place when I'm feeling down. Thank you
Hi Greg, I am really glad that we are able to share what we love doing and bring people some joy. 😊🦞🦀
🤣🤣 That lobby doesn't know how lucky it just got!!
I didn’t want it anyway. 🤣🦞
I'm just sitting here drinking a brew, eating softshell tacos I made while wishing I could be fishing.
Still just as good watching your videos.
Mmmm… soft shell tacos. 🤤
Your face when you realise what's happened! Love it
Life happens. 🤷🏻♂️
When that lobby went ova the side ...
I almost peed ! Ya got some nice keepas , John ! Enjoy ! Big shout to James and Mrs FL.👍
He was crafty I’ll give him that.
Got me whistling thr Great Escape tune - stuck in my head now. great episodes ever
Haha. 🦞
Great day on the water! And I have to admit I did laugh out loud when you tossed the lobster overboard!!! 🦞
It was pretty funny when I think about it. 🤣🦞
You didn't catch him, he caught you
by surprise!
Haha. Touché
You have a guardian angel with you.
💙
Glad to see your wooden table that you made is getting excellent use!!
Works great doesn’t it. 😊👍🏻
Thanks once again John. A real spirit lifter ! Have you got some new pots? Great summer days now 👌 . Stay safe.
Glad you enjoyed the video mate. 😊👍🏻
Beautiful water. Such clarity. Love it. I enjoy your diving bp videos so much. Thank you John. ❤❤
Great to have a sense of humor about yourself. I love your videos!
You need a sense of humour in life.
I was dreading when he laid out those three, all doing backflips back into the water so glad they didn’t LOL, tight lines my friend
I was keeping a close eye on them. 😉🦞🦞🦞
Really enjoyed that!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, and taking the time to share 👍👍
It is my pleasure. 😊🦞
Thanks again John👍
My pleasure. 🦀🦞
Well, what is the saying, "you win some you lose some". Worked out ok in the end & you had some fun along the way. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
Aye mate. You win some you lose some. 😊🦞
Great catch & a lovely relaxing watch :D
Thank you Jake. 😊👍🏻
That was hilarious, flipping lobster overboard..
Accidents happen. 😊
Great video and great catches. The boat set up seems to be working well, the board is holding up to the abuse as well. Thanks John. Cheers Ben.
It’s worked really well so far. 😊👍🏻
Yes - something to watch tonight - thanx 👍
Any time. 😉👍🏻
Love these videos, reminds me of my years in Mumbles on the Gower coast; fished pots with two mates for years, crabs, lobbies etc. Also dived the Gower, Devon, Cornwall etc. At low water we crabbed the lighthouse, and spinned for bass etc;memories, must get down there again. PS, I was a college lecturer for decades, hospitality management, trained chefs, including Tom Kerridge, so will say that you are spot on withe cooking shellfish etc, never knew how to get razor clams until you showed me the salt method. Lobster Thermidor, Americaine etc, you can keep,...just the plain flavour will do !
Good ingredients don’t need strong added flavours imo.
No matter how long the videos they are always the best minutes I spend on you tube. Fantastic to be along on your boat on such a lovely day, it is fascinating they can be left or right clawed and the blues on the tail flashes are quite exquisite.
They are a really awesome creature arent they. 😊🦞
Stunning video quality. Many thanks.
My pleasure. 😊
At least the cartwheel champ came from the sea in the first place, John. I watched a brand new self-sharpening knife slide over the rail once, and in my efforts to stop it heading downwards, I overbalanced and my brand new polarised sunglasses followed the knife. Bloody nightmare! Then I lost a definite PB Huss later on the same trip when the knot parted at the hook. Just one of those day, I still thoroughly enjoyed the trip and the enthusiasm never wanes.
They do say things happen in 3’s. 🤣🦞🤷🏻♂️
Smashing weather lots of fun cheers Mr L 👍
Cheers mate.
good to see your sense of humor about the airborne lango, lol
What is life if we cannot have a laugh at ourselves. 🤣🤷🏻♂️
@@TheFishLocker I hear you there.. have a whole series of videos about 'hot not to'... fun stuff
Thanks again John & team for the wonderful content! I stayed awake the whole video 😂😘
Your personality, ethics, and accent are great! Bright spot in my brighter South Texas day! Much love!!!
Thank you very much and have a wonderful day. 😊🦀🦞
Superb as always John
Thanks mate. 👍🏻
Another great video thanks John - nice brace of Lobsters. Stya safe & well, Dave. 👍👍
Cheers buddy. 👍🏻🦞🦞
John - would love to hear your life story. The way you handle a line and a boat tells me you were a Navy man by training. The working posture and method seems very well trained. Your are a total natural at sea on a boat. Cheers !
It’s a boring story tbh mate. You wouldn’t find it interesting. 😉
@@TheFishLocker no man's life is boring, if he can fish like you 😊
Thanks John
Any time. 😊👍🏻
Love your attitude when things don't go your way! Admirable quality. Cheers.
Life gives you opportunities. How you react is up to you.
Good to have a sense of humor. Good catch.
Thank you 😊
I love how u explain everything but I just love to see the lobsters and crabs u catch u made my day❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
I am glad you enjoy the video Gloria. 😊
i bet that lobster was laughing all the way to the seabed ... 😂😂😂
He’s got one hell of a war story to tell his friends. 🤣🦞
Oh that’s made my fkn day 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for not cutting it out 😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏽the wife will be in stitches when you show her this one
The videos are always honest mate. Good things and bad. 😊
Can't wait to see more cooking soon. But find the right size of the lobster.
Got a few ideas with Jim coming up. 😉
@@TheFishLocker ok. Good luck, I can wait 😉
Love it John 2 lovely lobsters thank you again.
Glad you enjoyed it Keith. 😊
Another cracking video John 👍whilst scuba diving in my younger years …came across a lobster , when I say came across I just saw a big pair of claws poking out from under some rocks ..it looked massive,down at 27m 12 1/2 stone of lean mean fighting machine ….man from Atlantis had nothing on me that day ….never lived that down for about 18 months ….you know what banter is like in the forces 👍👌🤣
Did you get nipped? 🤣🦞
John …no put it was a close call 😅
Wow I did not know about the claws being on different hands! Cool! 🦞
Cool aren’t they. 👍🏻🦞
Some guy on the internet who's never even seen a lobster in real life: "amateur"
🤣🤣🤣
Exactly. 🤣🤦🏻♂️
Nice video John! I hope to see Jim work his magic👨🍳👍…….Thank you 👍🎣
😉👍🏻
Very nice weather, beautiful views. Regarding the lost lobster, well, you certainly know where to go to replace it!
John - I'm not trying to jinx you, but I wondered if you've experienced any more tampering of your lobster pot strings?
Why? Just don’t.
The ocean is good like that.
That's called sustainable hunting. Great video.
Life needs balance. I hope our videos can highlight that. 😊👍🏻🦞
That lobster was a fighter, it was trying get your hands when you were holding it the first time as well.
It worked in its favour didn’t it 🦞
Brilliant video and catch! 😊
Thank you.
Great vid John been out on my kayak Friday 17th had a great afternoon fishing came home JD and coke and this video ,but when that lobsta jumped out the boat well i could not stop laughing and your face made my night .well done👍
Well I’m glad I got a laugh. 😊🤣🦞
I bet I wasn't the only person saying, as you identified another lobster in the second string, Don't loose it John, brilliant keep them coming 😎
Haha. I was saying it too!! 🤣🦞🦞
I truly love the fact that you not only practice sustainable fishing and education about the ocean and it’s inhabitants. I would LOVE if you could get hooked up with Nat Geo or BBC America to do an actual special. For now, I enjoy watching your videos, from my home in the desert of New Mexico!!!
I simply do what I feel is right, that would be amazing. Imagine being able to share our passion with so many people. 😊🦞💙
John I have been looking forward to this video x thankyou .
My pleasure. 😊👍🏻🦞
Great video John. Good to see so many lobsters being caught, must be good for the future. Love the initiatives to increase the lobster numbers around the coast of the UK. Your lobster hatchery video from last year was excellent.Cheers Milo
Thank you Milo. 😊🦞
Beautiful Lobster on the thumbnail!
Thanks. 🦞
Great video, John. I enjoy watching and just subscribed. Keep the videos coming.
Thank you and welcome. 😊🦞
The sea givit and the sea taket away, glad that day was a givit day for you John, spared blushes m8 👍
The ocean is like that isn’t it mate. Sometimes she give and sometimes she takes.
As per usual, BRILLIANT 💯
Thank you. 😊🦞
Stuff happens 🤣 another great session my friend 🤠
Aye, it does. 🤷🏻♂️🤣🦞
This summer is going to be great for you if the weather keeps on as it is. Awesome stuff as always and love watching your content
Let’s hope it does. 😊👍🏻
I was cheering for the lobster lol, the great escape
He was a crafty one. 🤣🦞

It is my pleasure Debbie. 😊
Nice to see all the little lobsters they breading well then
Conservation is working well. 👍🏻🦞
Nice one John 👍
Thank you Henry. 😊👍🏻🦀
You pull them up in one place and toss them back in another. It just occurred to me that you’re the inspiration for Finding Nemo
🤣🤣🤣
What an awesome video, that was fantastic
Thank you.
I love when people can laugh at them self.
Life’s too short to be serious all the time.
That escaping lobster got to you !!!! As ever greta video and so jealous of the lifestyle
He was very fast but didn’t nip me just caught the glove. Nearly though.
Fair play to you for being able to laugh at yourself for losing the lobster and I hope all the family are well and I will look forward to the next video👍🏻
With ears like mine you learn to laugh at yourself. 😉🤣
Just found your channel and i am so hooked bro... you live in what i call paradise!! Rock on dude, you're awesome
Thank you and welcome to the channel Angel, I hope you enjoy working through the rest of our content. 😊👍🏻
In the US we call the two different claws the crusher like molar teeth and pincers like incisor teth.
👍🏻🦞
Hauling them pots is saving you a fortune on gym membership big lad!
Another top watch and all the better for keeping the calamities in! 🤣
I enjoy the exercise. 😊🦞
Love videos John. Keep them coming
Thanks Anthony. 😊
Cracking Video John !!!!!!!
Cheers David. 👍🏻🦞🦀
Lol I was expecting you to have to explain to Hannah & Robert why there was no lobster for tea but you redeemed yourself in the end. Great stuff John and that water looked soooo inviting!
Who's Robert?
@@TheFishLocker Lol sorry, James.
Excellent as always mate I really enjoyed watching big thanks :)
Sorry but I had to LOL when the lobster returned to the drink :) Good to see you laugh at it too! Would have made a classic Blooper !
Cheers and thanks again for sharing.
Haha. What can I say? Sometimes you just have to laugh. 🤣
that is just amazing bro what great content you are giving uz all stunning vids bro its just stunning
I am glad you enjoy them. 🦞😊👍🏻
It's better to have caught and lost than never caught at all! Amazing as always Jon tight lines lozzfish
Haha. That’s a good way to view it.
