Deep Sea Shark Fishing - HUGE SHARKS - First Shark trip of the season | The Fish Locker 

I have watched your wonderful videos for q u i t e some time now and, here is a video that - for me - epitomises and encapsulates your expertise as a fisherman. There are SO many small - but oh! so important - moments where you demonstrate what a 'Master' you are at your craft. Little 'snippets' that almost 'throwaway' remarks that - if the viewer REALLY wants to learn from you - are so full of absolute nuggets of information about the craft you are so adept in demonstrating. A cracker of a video John. Thank you.

The way John gets the hook out of the first shark is a lesson in itself👍

"Out on a glorious morning on the boooooaaaaaat!" Yeh John!! BEAUTIFUL MORNING!!! Dig, DmGrk

deserve your own show on discovery, fantastic watch and educational.

Your knowledge is second to none atb john

Great work as always John. Sunday evenings wouldn’t be the same without your videos.

You've only just got the bait in water and ALREADY my adrenalin is spiking!!! I can't even begin to fathom what it's like, out there, solo, ready to hook a shark!!!! Superb content, as always, John. LOVE IT!

Love to see the JOY on your face!!!! 😂😄👏👍🫶🦈🦈🎣🎣

There is nowhere on earth as nice as the uk coastline when the weathers right!!

Excellent video John. You are a master angler. That big splash was a White shark breaching! 😅👍🏻🇨🇦

Allways smiling allways happy 👍👍

Excellent presentation. It is very obvious this guy knows his marbles! It is always wonderful to see an expert at work.

I like the quick release...Keeps em in the water with those gnarley teeth .

One of the best fishing experiences I've ever had was the shark I never caught on Luce Bay, south-west Scotland. We'd had some tope and small shark when my rod tip nodded, sprung back straight as the line headed back to the boat. The rod pulled straight down at the side of the boat the tip in the water, the line snapped and I almost fell back into the boat. Almost immediately, the shark surfaced on the other side of the boat and fell back with a mighty splash. Two days later I made a personal best with a 290lb Porbeagle which almost made up for that, "we need a bigger boat moment"!

Your sharking videos are definitely my favourite. Other boat videos are nice too but sharking videos are the best.

Well, you could not say you did not have a good day John. You went out looking for sharks & you got them. I lost count after 8 I think it was, but to watch you out there, anyone would think you were having fun & enjoying yourself. It's nice when things occasionally 'work to plan'. Well done, great video (but I must say that I would never go fishing for sharks, (too big for me to handle) as always with great, helpful commentary. Cheers, Don from South Aust.

Wow John. You must have had five at least. I’ll bet your energy levels are tested!! Great vid.

Had so much fun watching this!!never have seen anything like it!outstanding💥

That was super, exiting, educational, and hard work for you, but for us sitting at home, a brilliantly produced and edited post, I will say this is one of your best. Worth watching again and again.

Sharks and tuna are the most intriguing videos to me….but I love them all. Keep up the good work

Another great 'virtual' day out on the water in the company of the consumate angler! John just takes it in his stride; no fuss, no panic, no rush and all the while giving a great commentary! John for the salt water and 'The Ginger Fisherman' for the fresh water - sorted! What a great channel and thank you, John, for all the effort and professionalism you put into your vids - kudos! Ps. How about a Porbeagle and a Short-fin Mako by the boat? ;-)

Great video, when I started fishing in 1972, I went out on my first ever boat trip from Blackpool we launched just North of the North Pier, the boat or dinghy was a 12 footer with a Seagull engine there were 3 of us. During the trip my friends rod started literally banging on the side of the boat the rod was made of bamboo as thick as a broom handle the hook reminded me of a meat hook used in a butcher shop, anyhow while he was playing the fish I commented to him and asked him why was the anchor rope at the back of the boat, he replied don't be daft it's always at the front don't forget I'd never boat fished before a few minutes went by and I said the ropes still at the back of the boat and were moving my mate just held the rod which was bent way over and looked around, kind of in shock and he said "it's bloody towing us" over ten minutes later the fish came off we never got to see it however when he retrieved his tackle the hook was nearly straight it was the most exciting time on a boat I've ever had. Watching you fish is amazing I actually feel as if I'm there with you so, many many thanks for taking us on your adventures and sharing your experiences with us, I loved every minute of the video. 👍👍👍

I must be thick because I didn't realise that there were many sharks in British waters. Just watching you catch these sharks just highlights that there is more beneath the waters than what I thought. An interesting and entertaining video. Thank you for sharing.

Not a sea fisherman, not ever found the temptation for some reason..... Doesn't stop me from spending countless hours on the bank trying to catch carp though 🤷‍♂️😂 always enjoy the videos bud, keep up the good work

Hi John, lucky for me I started watching your videos just after getting hold of my first small boat. I've spent the last couple of years exploring the inshore waters of the north east coast line and have found that by using Fish Locker tactics I've been able to winkle out far more fish than I would have under my own steam (I even won a few quid in a boat fishing comp so 🍻). Your channel has been a great resource in learning about seamanship and I've been modifying my boat setup along the way ready for some solo offshore wreck fishing trips. These last couple of weeks though the pollock fishing over the rough ground has been excellent and I've been having great sport using lures and light tackle. Whilst out the other evening, as I was playing a fish, a right lump of a creature completely breached and made a horizontal splash in the water less than half a mile off the shore. I only registered the shape and colour of the fish and couldn't be 100% but I reckon it was probably a porbeagle and I would say it was at least 6 feet long and well in excess of 250lb. Since that evening I have had that fish stuck in my head and I am putting together a rig to have a go for it. So far I have picked up a penn senator 6/0, a 50/80lb rod, and some 50lb mono. I will make up some shark traces as per your shark trace video and was planning on using a rubbing leader of 200lb mono (as i have some from making FL wrecking rigs!). Does this sound reasonable and could I ask what knot you would recommend for attaching the rubbing leader to the mainline? There is a lot of conflicting opinions out there regarding shark tackle it seems and it can get bewildering. -It was good to see you putting Slippy Limpets onto some proper fish the other day. As you will know the fishing up in this part of the world can require a good amount of determination and I've watched Nathan putting in a lot of hours to get the best out of the fishing that's available. Blue sharks on light gear makes me think that trailing my boat 450 miles next year might be a good way to spend a summer holiday! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, the channel is a brilliant resource. Rob

Fishing the east coasts of Australia and New Zealand I am astounded at the quality of fishing in the UK

Towards the end of the video I could see your buzzing. Great stuff mighty vid.

Nice Blues 🤙, in Florida we call sharks, “The Man in the Gray Suit” 🦈

Great to see such a healthy population of fish.

Now that’s a fishing video!

that must have been a good feeling coming back at the end of a successful day, allways a buzz,

Good to see such a healthy population of blues. Thanks for a great video.

A day of jolly good fun!!

Another cracking video John ,,brilliant fishing 👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻

Great footage John. I am glad it’s catch and release because they are such wonderful creatures that have had some unfair bad press.

I & wife’s’ ex-brother in law we’re fishing off Point Cartwright, a few miles or so & had some reef fish & mackrel in a net bag over side of the boat. We had sat for some time when I stood up & just ‘happened’ to see this bloody submarine cruising through a wave, a damn big tiger shark. The boat is a 15ft 6in Stacer aluminium & I swear the head😊 was almost at the transom & it’s tail was virtually at the bow. He was after our fish in the fish bag & we just got that bag of fish out of the water just in time. 😮😂🛥️🎣🐟🦈🇦🇺

I've just come back from Antigua. We were diving and shooting lion fish to feed the sharks. They definitely feed from scent, not sight. The fish is in front of them and they're spinning on the spot to find them. Great video, it's nice to have the privilege of them in British waters!

What a trip with some great fish

Best content on utube as all ways

Great video as always John! Shark Locker!! 🦈

el TIBURON!! hell yeah.. that's some good stuff there...

Seasick; I fished with dad, he and I had no problem, some riding in cars do, did you ever and suggestions that help those that do. I don’t miss your videos, rather take a beating. Great information, no sharks in Montana.
