      Teresa Hepplewhite - It was the only thing to do in my eyes. That’s our breeding stock and the future of the species right there. A prime fit female fish. Long may she live. I’ve had a few big hermits like that before, I’m going to try and construct a trap specifically for smaller crabs and hermits like that this winter just to see what we can catch next year. 😉👍🏻🦀

There were literally thousands of them, all heading across the sand in the same direction, it was if they were on a mission and nothing would stop them lol. The sea holds many mysteries and amazing creatures, that's why I have been attracted to it for so long I guess. Great video as always John. 👍😊👍🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

    I find your ways of approach to nature very humble. You do tread the animals with very much respect, something other fishing channels could learn from where fish are being put on ice alive, left in the boats to suffocate. Well, I guess we in and around Europe know the animal cruelty will have your license revoked faster than one can blink. Like the military precision and consistency in your videos. Good work, keep it up.

    I love how respectful you are to the animals, I really enjoy watching the fish recover and swim away. I read a paper a while back that said a large amount of sport caught fish die after being released, I hope your approach minimises that.

    • @TheFishLocker
      @TheFishLocker  4 роки тому +1

      beardedchimp - Thank you. There are many ways you can help or hinder the survival chances of fish. Such as the way you support a fish. Vertically by the jaw keeping the fish straight and if horizontal then evenly supported. Avoiding any damage to the gill membranes. This is vital, so when lifting a fish you need to make sure your fingers don’t damage the gills. And allowing a fish to properly recover if it needs it. I’ve said in a few videos that if a fish is exhausted it needs time to calm down and recover until it is ready to go back itself. And if it is “thrashing fit” then a head first entrance into the water is perfect. But the big big thing is not bringing a good fish up from deep water too fast. Fishing in shallow water this is not so much of an issue. But barotrauma is almost always fatal.

My first job was pulling pots on a curragh for my uncle one summer, it put some muscles on my shoulders I can tell you. Some days we'd get huge conger tightly wound like a spring inside the pot, 30 and 40 pounders, real beasts - they were impossible to get out and when you did manage it, they'd nearly thrash a hole in the boat, it'd take the two of us to get them back over the side.

I’ve had congers in the pots a few times but never that big. 10-20lb. I’ve found if you get the end of their tail out and grab it they slide themselves out but don’t half thrash!!!
