Shark Fishing - UK Sea Fishing for Thresher Sharks. Thresher Sharks are an incredible creature that migrate around the British isles hunting their prey, they are high speed agile hunters using their huge scything tail to stun prey. These sharks can be anything from 50lb to 500lb in our waters and are considered by some to be the UK's most sought after sport fish.
Here are links to some of the tackle I use, as I find more links I will post them.

One of your best videos John. What a fish that was! As you said, a solo angler couldn't attempt to land a beast that size, just too powerful. You both did really well to give us some great footage of that lovely animal, thanks again and Merry Christmas to you and the family.

@TheFishLocker Год назад

Thank you William. 👍🏻🦈

@judevicious3333 Год назад

Holy cow John!!! What a beast!! That is scary how things can go from calm to intense in a split second!

@TheFishLocker Год назад

You need to be 100% focused. At any point in that fight it could have got serious very quick.

@mrstamp5121 Год назад

Holy Mother of Christ that wasn’t big it was MAHOOSIVE! Great looking shark tho props to Chris for all the effort and thanks John for another blindin vid fella, nice one

Perfectly AWESOME video, John!!!! That shark was absolutely gorgeous, too. Beautiful specimen. Thresher sharks are fascinating to me - thank you for sharing this adventure!

@TheFishLocker Год назад

They are truly incredible fish aren’t they. 😊

@JETTIEROCKSFISHINGwithMIKED Год назад

That was insane to watch..Great video footage..very lucky the line parted..that's how people get pulled overboard..you never fail to impress me with your skill set John

@TheFishLocker Год назад

Thank you very much. Yes these fish will test you on every level and push you for a mistake. There is always a chance I could have stopped it if I had taken a wrap around my hand but also a chance it would have taken my hand or me over the side. Given the challenge we were up against I am not unhappy with what happened. Lessons learned for next time. Best wishes to you and your family Mike and have a lovely Christmas. 😊🦈🎄

@stewyripper Год назад

As Roy Scheider said in Jaws "your gonna need a bigger boat". Great video mate, last time i saw threshers was in portreath in 76 from the top of the cliff, watched a pair of them attacking a shoal of Mackerel. Have a Merry Christmas to you and all the family.

@TheFishLocker Год назад

I bet that’s as an amazing sight!!!

There’s always next time. 😊🦈

@mikeockler7121 Год назад

My goodness what a fish! They look lilke little torpedos with whips for tails! I'm glad we were able to get eyes on it before it took off again...I'm sure you'll get another shot at this in the future. Thanks for sharing, John! Tight lines!

@gatsby4985 Год назад

You captured some amazing footage, the speed and power of that shark was awesome. Never seen footage of how a thresher primes it’s tail to strike. As you said you need to be totally focused and ready to react in a split second. Your friend did a fantastic job in fighting the fish and your boat handling skills were top notch in positioning the craft throughout the fight. Fantastic video thank you.

@TheFishLocker Год назад

These fish will test you on every level. Amazing experience and so glad we can share it with you all. 😊🦈

That tail is to be watched!!! Dangerous at both ends then fish!! 👍🏻🦈

No words, what a beast, healthy respect expected and given. Great insight on natural power and cunning. No shame in being outsmarted by this beauty.

@23valleyroad Год назад

Brilliant to you and Chris this was extraordinary footage and the sight of the Beast was fantastic. The notion that you could even get such a whopper near to the boat was enough for me to jump up and down like a complete lunatic, with the remnants of World Cup Fever in my system. Congratulations and I'll have my eyes peeled for the next instalment X

@TheFishLocker Год назад

This really is an exciting video for me too. 😊🦈

@EarlsFishingAdventures Год назад

Well done John on finally getting one beside the boat. Unlucky you were unable to get a tag and measurement but you live and you learn . Next time you go out and hook into one you will know more. Plenty of footage showing how big and amazing that shark really was well done again to you and your friend .

@TheFishLocker Год назад

I’ve thought about it a fair amount and to be absolutely honest it was a bit too long for the boat. It could have been very dangerous for us if we hadn’t known what we were doing.

@EarlsFishingAdventures Год назад

@@TheFishLocker Like in the movie , You need a bigger boat mate lol 🤣

@FraustByte Год назад

John congrats on the thresher shark. I remember maybe 2 or 3 years back now on your channel you talked about the big one that terrorized your area, and possibly making a run for one then. But great job. Glad you guys were safe and didn't get hurt when the line snapped.

@corbfisher Год назад

That was awesome! I've had the privilege of only ever landing one of the beasties although I've hooked up a few times accidentally when fishing for striped marlin when I lived in California. We would throw live mackeral at a marlin and end up getting it taken by a thresher or Mako that we had no idea was in the area. Threshers are very tasty also. That danged tail is something to have to really worry about. Great video!

@TheFishLocker Год назад

I would settle for a nice big Mako!! 🤣🦈

@rolandbee2791 Год назад

Knockout video - really looking forward to the time that you manage to get another one and hopefully measure / guesstimate its size weight, etc very well done !

@TheFishLocker Год назад

This one was 16-17ft in length. So around 300-350lb in my estimations.

@lawrencemacd63 Год назад

@TheFishLocker Год назад

@MattyO-72 Год назад

I once landed a Thresher 25 miles out of Montauk, but the boat was much bigger and I was a young man (took forever to fight that fish). The captain had everyone go inside when he brought it aboard. Holy moly, that thing threshed that tail and with blood flying everywhere. Captain wanted to keep it as the the shops pay big bucks for the tail ... supposedly medicinal properties(?). The shark steaks were very tasty. But Jim would have cooked it up better than I did ! All the best

@TheFishLocker Год назад

I have no idea about medicinal properties but I’m told they eat very well. 😊🦈

@chrisbree3467 Год назад

Hi John, very impressive fish. Full of attitude, shame you lost it if only for an estimate of the weight. How long do you think it will have that gear in it’s mouth & do you think it will harm it? Great video thanks for sharing it with us.

@TheFishLocker Год назад

Not long at all. As you will know from our other videos I advocate barbless circle hooks. So as soon as the pressure is off the line the hook will fall out very quickly. That’s why we fish them that way. 😊🦈
