Hand Hauling The Fish Locker's NEW lobster pots - Crab, Lobsters and sea creatures | The Fish Locker 

Haha. Thank you.

Thank you Timothy and welcome to our channel. 😊🦀🐙🦞

I'm from toledo Ohio and I love this channel.

And I’m completely agree with you. I also watch another channels and they never mind if crabs are small or octopus baby. Sometimes I tell myself like hey you got it don’t throw you deserved good size octopus got it. I hope you got this time Enjoy 🤞🏻

Spot on….John is a top bloke and deserves every success with this channel and in general because he puts the work in and knows his stuff….he’s also a great dad to James and his daughter 💯👌❤️

Also Toledo!

He was a handful

I am still learning every day, and I hope I never stop. 😊👍🏻

Hello how are you doing?

If this video has brightened your day then it has been worth making. Have a wonderful week and take care. 😊🐙

Thank you. I try to stick to the same principles I set out when we started. Simple, honest and original content. 😊🐙🦀

@@TheFishLocker Yeah, no bells and whistles, just authentic and interesting content. That's what many like to see and just listen to your narration and the beautiful sound of the sea : )

Just happy sharing what I love doing. 😊👍🏻🐙🦞

Sounds pretty bloody good to me too. 👍🏻🐙

@@TheFishLocker. Glad I discovered your channel. You have Hazey to thank for that. Look forward to Sunday evenings now. A cold beer and chill out in a mad mixed up world. 👍

I am glad you enjoy the videos Olivia. 😊🦀🦞

Thank you. I get so many messages I often can’t keep up with everything. All the best and enjoy the videos. 👍🏻🎣

Thank you very much. 😊👍🏻

Yeah I don't really approve of eating octopus, but I gather from the news that there's an over-abundance of our eight-armed friends around the Cornish coast right now, so taking one for the pot (especially a kraken of the deep like that one) is more acceptable

Their population in recent years has absolutely exploded. I could take 5 a day and still wouldn’t even scratch the surface.

I agree. Once I learned how intelligent octopuses are, I stopped eating them. It's not like eating lobster or crab -basically sea bugs. You feel bad for the octopus. Like eating a dolphin.

@@matthewhudson5685 You eat Dolphins?

@@JazzFunkNobby1964 NO! Never would. Because I knew how intelligent they were. I didn't understand that about octopuses. Once I learned more about them, I stopped eating them.

No matter where you are or what you’re doing, do something to make it better. 😊🐙🦀🦞

Thank you and welcome to our channel. I am glad that you are enjoying joining us on our adventures. 😊🦞🐙

I really enjoy hauling our pots. Always excited to see what’s in them. 😊🦀🦞🐙

Glad you found it amusing. 🤣

You will see in some of our shore foraging videos how I go about holding tricky crabs and lobsters. 😊👍🏻🦀🦞

Haha. 🦞

Stunning day wasn't it 😊🐙

Thank you very much, I am simply happy to be able to share what I know and love doing. 😊🐙

Cookit in a bookit😅

Thank you Mark. 😊👍🏻

Thanks Phil. 😊🐙

LOL, man versus octopus, definite idea for a new series there, John! You could invite guests on and all sorts! Who will brave the octopus in the octagon? 💪 🐙

Haha. Men being carried out by stretcher all covered in sucker marks. 🤣🐙

@@TheFishLocker Until Jim enters the ring, then everyone gets a full belly! 👨‍🍳🍽👌

On a fine day there’s nowhere better. 👍🏻🐙

Any time Kieth. 😊

It is our pleasure. I am glad that you enjoy our content. 😊🐙🦞

I love doing it. 💪🏻🦞🦀

My pleasure Cliff.

So far so good. Have a lovely day Jacqui. 😊🐙

Thank you 007

Haha. Honestly it was like fighting with 2 stone of chewing gum with a mind for mischief!!! I am sorry to hear of your loss and wish you a better day. 😊💙🐙

I have always been the same. Even to my detriment. When asked I answer. If I don’t have my integrity what else is worth having?

Pots can be the best in the world but if you don’t put them in the right place they won’t fish.

Haha. Cooking video in editing.

I'm looking forward to that, too. I think the last time I had Octopus for tea was when we lived in Malta many years ago, and it wasn't the rubbery mess that you tend to get here.

John - Was the octopus in your lobster pot trying to hide, obtain his own dinner or just after the bait in there?

Easy recipe popular in Spain. Large pot filled with boiling water, hold octopus by the head ( no need to be alive we buy frozen ones ) and dip the tentacles all the way into the boiling water lift up and dip again three times then put whole octopus in and allow to cook +- 30 minutes if a toothpick enters the top of leg easily it’s cooked. Here in Spain they put a large potato in with the octopus and when cooked, once cooled these are the sliced and plated on a serving platter the cold octopus tentacles then scissor cut in thin rounds and spread on top of the potato. A little salt and pimento is sprinkled on and a good sprinkling of olive oil and then enjoyed with cold frosty and crusty bread. The cooked octopus whole or legs freeze well so no need to run out at any time.

@@mstrdiver The Octopus wanted to be on RU-vid.

Thanks Keith.

It is our pleasure. 😊👍🏻🦞

My pleasure bud, glad you enjoyed joining me. 😊🐙🦞

👍🏻🐙

It is my pleasure. 😊🐙🦞

They are a handful. 🤣

Glad to share the videos with you. 😊👍🏻

@@TheFishLocker 😊😊😊

That octopus really did give me the run around didn’t he. 🤣🐙

Welcome to our channel Dan. All the best sir.

They are a handful I’ll give them that. 🤣

Simply doing what I feel is right. I hope others will see this and follow the example. 😊🦀🦞

What a wonderful thing to say. 💙

That is exactly it. I’m simply sharing what I love doing. 😊🦞🐙

He went a full 10 rounds didn’t he. 🤣

Thanks Chris. 😊👍🏻

Octopus - Nature's Bubblewrap

Thank you. 👍🏻🐙

They are here in the thousand mate.

Yeah I speak to them quite a fair bit. Crazy isn’t it. 👍🏻🐙

On a good day there’s nowhere better.

It is my pleasure Jack, I am glad you enjoyed the video and welcome to our channel. 👍🏻😊🦞

I'm gob smacked for once 😆

Haha.

Thank you Roger. 😊👍🏻

He was really hanging on in there wasn’t he!!’

I am glad you think the setup works well. I made the platform and camera mount myself to hopefully make the videos better. 👍🏻😊🐙🦞

Welcome to our channel. I am from the NE of the U.K. but we live and film a lot of our content in Cornwall.

@@TheFishLocker Thanks for stating your origins. I thought that sounded like a proper Yorkshire accent.

So far so good. Let’s hope they continue to work well. 👍🏻🦞🐙

@@TheFishLocker john is that you tell me im a winner or is it some scammer talking through here so its not so publicly noticeable.

Thank you Neil.

Haha. I am glad that the whole family can watch our videos and enjoy them. 😊🐙

@@TheFishLocker Thank you!! Somehow I knew that!😂 It was your face after the phone call that gave you away!😁

The local population of octopus has exploded. They are not a common capture here.

@@TheFishLocker so do you find that you are competing with octopus for the critters you are hoping for? I was curious & watched a video of an octopus “looting” crab pots and leaving the empty carcasses behind!

It is our pleasure. 😊🐙🦞

I hope you all had a wonderful time mate. 👍🏻😊🦀

I am simply doing and living by what I feel is right. Several of my personal minimum landing sizes are far greater than the legal just because I don’t think legal is big enough.

@@TheFishLocker and as I've said in previous videos several times I always love when you visit Jim. Got super excited when you said the octopus is going to Jim's kitchen I honestly can't wait for it

Thank you. I am simply doing what I feel is right.

Thanks Steve. 👍🏻🐙

I love doing the pots. You never know what’s going to turn up. 🦞🐙🦀

Can you send me a link to the Fishlocker workshop? I’ll take a look. 👍🏻🦞

Welcome to the channel Andrew, I’m actually from the NE. Just married a Cornish lass.

Thank you very much Tina and welcome to our channel. 😊👍🏻

It is our pleasure. Have a wonderful day and stay safe. 😊🐙💙

Thank you Kieren. 👍🏻🐙

Nothing stops someone stealing your pots. Just morality.

Of course I have. 99% of what you see me do is the product of time and effort, experimentation and thought.

do hope i didnt cause offence john its just that my only experience of what goes into a pot as bait is from my childhood when i lived in cromer [60 years ago] when the commercial boys used any & everything so long as it was free or very very cheap as in well past its sell by date ,every thing from dogfish & roker down to smelts & butts .even read stories of long ago when they used fresh water bream when it was still legal

Thanks 👍🏻🦞🦀

Yes.

Haha. That’s a fine northern saying. 😉

It’s a favourite of mine. I really enjoy it. 😊👍🏻

Doesn’t get much better does it. 😊🦀🦞🐙

Haha. We did have someone at the start saying we were throwing them into a bucket out of sight on the side of the boat. 🤣🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you and welcome to the channel.

It was wonderful. 😊🐙

Our pleasure Pat. 👍🏻

Very clever. I didn’t know that about wild haggis.

It is my pleasure. 😊🐙🦞
