Congratulations on the 200K mark, but let's face it, your videos are top drawer 🎣🎣👍👍 A 7lbs Ballan, that's some result 👍👍👍👍 Great advice on fish husbandry as well. Unfortunately, what is common sense to some, isn't to all 🎣🎣👍👍 In all your videos, I've never seen you move as fast as you did for the net 😂😂😂crackin Plaice though🎣🎣👍👍
Well... No, it's your hard work that made this channel. All I do is watch something I enjoy, you are the one consistently putting out videos, you are the one making videos with zero hysteria. You are the unsung hero of this story, good videoing, good editing, consistent production and a very likable person. You did it, don't blame us! 😇👍
@@Servant_of_Christ I second both your comments not sure on the hate thing .saying it the way is always right in my book and john deserves all good things thats for sure 👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🙂🤞✌
100% agree with Mrhotbulldozer. It's great watching this channel on UA-cam, John and family are an excellent diversion from our busy lives. 200k subscribers is fantastic news, John, but you should pat yourself on the back. The vids are awesome, the whole package is a welcome change from the msm. Keep going, pal.
Wow,not sure if you believe in fate,but 200k,pb wrasse,amazing male cuckoo,plaice for tea and an awesome day on the boat to celebrate !! Dosen't get much better.
"I think I'll go fishing to celebrate!" really sums up what I like about your style - your unremitting cheerful enthusiasm for what you do! You remind me of the late Steve Irwin in that way, and I say that as the highest possible compliment.
You getting 200k is due to your content and the educational aspect. You and your family are just plain fun to watch. Plus for some of us to live vicariously through your adventures. Congratulations.
@@TheFishLocker i am usually fishing in Brittany and there it is so easy to catch huge wrass. During my vacation last year my cousin and i caught 4 wrass that were all around 60cm long and 11 pounds heavy. These fish are actually quite pesky there.
_"I think I'll go fishing to celebrate..let's go!"_ Truly, we expect nothing less from you, Mr. F. Locker~ And thank _you_ for taking us along on your trips, introducing us to your wonderful family, and teaching us all so so much!
John you the man !!! Especially during the lockdown it was helpful to see the scenery and fishing activity which some could only dream of Heartiest Congratulations mate 🎉👍🏾👍🏾
Honestly John, at 75 yrs. I've never, ever fished for anything. Yet I'm back watching your channel so I am probably hooked. There's just something about watching you fish that is so calming and I have watched your videos for literally hours and hours since I came across your channel. It's little wonder that you've topped 200,000 because the content is perfect as is the presentation. I believe fisherman say 'Tight lines' so congratulations John and here's to the next 100,000!
When I was a lad fishing out of Plymouth in the early 70's wrasse this big were, if not exactly common, but caught more often than now and again - if that makes sense. However, like many species out on the shore, reefs and wrecks around the Eddystone, the bigger ones were fished near on out of existence. Not many of us had a catch and release ethic in those days. Thank goodness for people like John setting such a great example.
There is no way you can watch your videos and not smile with you when you catch something. The joy just travels through. Love how you know and use what is best for the fish. This is the best way to learn about fishing if you ask me. Thank you for doing this!
The smile says a thousand words. fish like that don't just happen, that's hundreds of hours of mastering your craft. Congratulations to you and your family. Totally deserved.
'Build it and they will come' is a line from a film! Well you have certainly built up a following that love the passion, enthusiasm and honest Northern bloke that happy as pig in poo out on his boat. Congratulations on your success and hard work to keep us all happy with fantastic videos every week. Keep safe 🙏
Love your videos! As a viewer who is landlocked in the middle of the USA, it’s marvelous to see your part of the world, the seaside and hear your fantastic accent!
I’m English spent 40 years in Australia ,, wasn’t aware of how good the costal fishing is around the UK . 235k subs congratulations taking your passion to what ever level you want
Thank you very much and welcome to our channel. It is crazy really how big things have gotten, all we are doing is sharing what we know and love doing. 😊
After a previous video I asked, "How are you going to follow that?" You've just shown me. Congratulations to the Fishlocker family for reaching 201k subscribers,👏👏 I'm surprised it's not more. Congratulations John on your PB Allen wrasse, what a cracking fish.👏👏 Well done for sticking it out and your just reward of an awesome plaice.👏👏 I'd have been overjoyed with the beautiful cuckoo wrasse.👌👌 An amazing day, for an amazing family.👍👏👌 A massive thank you to you all.👏👏👏👏 Stay safe😷😷😷😷. PS. Nearly forgot. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO FOLLOW THAT?😁😁 Can't wait.
@@TheFishLocker oh john i sent you some special shads about 2 weeks ago. lets say mr treffry told me your address are you still living there.if so i will send again.
sod off back up north! Catching all our southern fish! You're too good a fisherman! Seriously though, thank you for giving me and my sons hope that there is still fish in our waters. Love your videos! Keep up the good work and save some fish for us (at least you throw them back for someone else to catch!)
You're putting the joy back in sea fishing and i think that's wonderful . It's certainly awesome watching the adventures you get up too and it all translates well in the video . Great stuff and thank you for sharing your excellent fishing skills with me .
Thank you Clive, I am so glad that the passion transfers across in the content as that is literally what it’s like. I am simply sharing what I love doing. 😊💙
You seem like a very positive and enthusiastic person. Mornings are stunning, the fish are absolute cracking examples and the mornings are gorgeous. I'd give my left (rude thing) to go fishing with you on your boat. I'm sure the enthusiasm is contagious. Since I'm an ocean and half a continent away, your videos will have to do. Great job mate! 200K YES!
A wonderful day in so many ways mr locker the happiness on your face and in your voice show it all . Thank you for putting up such great content and all the hard work that goes into producing something special every week for us viewers. Live the dream mr locker you deserve it .
I remember discovering your channel a good while back I believe it played on its on after having watched another video on catching clams using salt. What I do remember was your video being calm and the genuine feeling from watching you and your family out on the beach. In a time of loud music and nonsense online it's always good watching your videos even if it's in the background I can literally imagine what's going on from how you describe everything on your videos. Stay awesome and best of wishes.
I've watched a couple more of your videos after I've stumbled on your channel, and I have to say I love what you do, you're simply so genuine about your content, and your enthusiasm is infectious. I wish a lot of people learn from you, especially about the by laws that you have in your area and those that you practice, the sea as it is is overexploited and lessons in sustainability from someone like you might actually make a difference for a lot of people. Kudos, friend, and you and the family stay safe.
Thank you and welcome to our channel. As you have seen we are simply sharing what we know and are passionate about. I do truly hope the videos help people out. Wether it is through education, escapism or simply the sharing of a common joy of the world. 😊🎣
Wonderful milestone for my favorite UA-cam channel. Looked like a perfect day to be on the water with the end result being a cracking dinner. Just great John!
You are truly a conservationist, a responsible fisherman. Congratulations on hitting 200K subscribers I am sure, you will hit another milestone in due time!
Congratulations! You present great content in a simple and honest manner. You are surrounded by good family and beautiful scenery! How could you not grow? Thanks so much!
Thank you. We do not really play the "UA-cam game". Flashy intros, name drops, click bait and calls to subscribe etc. We are simply passionate about share what we love doing. 😊
You absolutely excel at it and you definitely don't need any of the flashy stuff to prove your quality and passion. I showed my mother one of your videos where you were looking for the blue lobsters and she was absolutely taken away by the video quality, beautiful location, and great information!
Much deserved. Your videos are educational, enthralling and very interesting to the avarage sea angler. But you cook your catches and bring your family into it. This also brings the avarage angler's family into watching as well. No other words to say than brilliant. Well done John. Great times ahead. 👍👍👍👍
Very well done John and well deserved one of my favourite channels.No two videos are the same it's a new adventure each time and fresh.Now then in the name of all things un holy that Ballan Wrasse christ man what a klonker and the cuckoo wrasse chucked in too.Finished off by plaice and about a pound weight of chips and half a lemon.Graft and effort ultimately will be rewarded you deserve it.Stay safe all the best to family.Regards Tony
A++ First Congratulation on your 200,000 subscriber milestone, don't thank us, we thank you for the amazing selection of videos on fishing, exploring, underwater, foraging and sharing your family life with us the viewers. When the video started you were grinning like a Cheshire cat and although you wouldn't have known it then my feeling was we are in for something special, you certainly did not disappoint. Starting with Pollack (most anglers would take home) you put them back. Then we had the stunning Ballan Wrasse (also put back) a new p.b. so congratulations again for that. The odd tips that I would never of thought of like securing your lure to the rod. Finally we had that magnificent Plaice (going to your father in law). Viewing just does not get better than that and the smile on your face just got wider and wider. Anyway enough rambling on, just know you bring a lot of warmth into our household and thanks for your brilliant posts.
Hello again from Oz & congratulations to the Fish Locker Family for a well deserved milestone. I believe you have created a monster that will only get bigger John & its because of your consistent top quality videos, love for the environment & good advise. Thankyou, keep em coming & tight lines John.
Fantastic achievement and another great video. It's your videos that has got me back boat fishing after 20 years. I have bought an Orkney Pilothouse 20 and will be fishing Cardigan Bay West Wales
What a fantastic trip out, that wrasse was superb and the pollock too but that plaice, wow. Congrats on the 200.000 plus subscribers. Totally enjoy the lives, you and Hannah deserve it for all your hard you've put into making the Fish locker such a success. Time to chill out a bit now mate and reduce the long hours replying to us all, greatly appreciated but unnecessary. Regards to all the family. Love and thanks
congratz on the subs milestone very much earned, not just the fishing, not just the foraging, no just the flora and fauna, but a nice family giving us all moments to make us smile xx
That Ballan Wrasse going back and the footage you got of it swimming down with the camera underwater was brilliant. Congratulations on your PB and keep up the good work 😃
Me and my daughters (4 and 9 years old) love your videos. We have a trip planned to Bude in July and I can’t wait to take them rockpooling where thanks to you they will have a great base knowledge of what life they can expect to find 👍
Congrats on your 200k subscribers , If anyone on UA-cam deserves it, then it’s you. This is the coolest channel on UA-cam.. Thanks John for taking us along on your fishing trips. Hope to see you get 300 k soon
absolutely stunning ballan wrasse john. This video had everything from a classic fish locker video. Stunning specimens and of course not forgetting a few Doggies 🦞🦞🐟🐟
Congrats on the 200,000 milestone as well as that lovely plaice and PB ballan wrasse. The footage of the release of the wrasse was great to see, lovely clear water. Cheers and thanks, John, hope to get out again soon myself.
My husband is a keen fisherman and since we bought a smart TV you've got me interested it's me that checks out on UA-cam if you have put up a new video we like the way you talk about what you are doing and why etc I particularly like watching you foraging and explaining what things are it's really interesting so keep up the good work
Brilliant release on that wrasse... I continue to admire your commitment to taking care of the catch that you don't plan on bringing home! Cheers from the PNW!
Congratulations on 200k, this channel has been my go-to way to relax during finals! And happy mothers day to Mrs. Fishlocker, I hope she has a good day
🥳🍾🎉Congratulations John on reaching 200,000 subs and for such a good days fishing that wrasse and plaice were outstanding,thanks for the great vlog as usual you have made my evening.👍
Congratulations John and family for 200,000, and now I'm sure plus, subscriber's. It is no surprise as your posts are entertaining and educational, all done without foul language and/or political viewpoints. One can truly escape one's daily stress and go to a peaceful world. For me, your posts have saved me money I would have spent on therapy session's with a psychologist. Next month I look forward to giving monthly support via Patreon. Have a safe week ✌🏻💖😎
Steven, I have just been reading back through the chat from tonight and seen your comments. Im sorry I missed them during the live stream. If you want to chat to me my email is teamlocker1@gmail.com.
Picked up some of those shads John and glad I did, two nice 6lb pollack on the spinning rod, great fun. They picked out the bigger fish. Great advice, Thank you.
Love this channel top 3 for me on UA-cam so educational and love the lifestyle you got. Congratulations on the 200k subs and yes I hit like before I even watched it 😂😂👏👏👏👍
Hello Fish Locker and family, from Whangarei, Northland, in New Zealand. Congratulations on 200k subscribers!! My two sons, 8 &16, love watching your channel with me, especially your coastal and seashore foraging videos, which are so informative and great, wholesome family viewing. We have also tried a couple of beach catch n cooks ourselves ( which we also love to watch) since subscribing to your channel and becoming big fans. My 8 year old son really loves to see Fish Locker Jr foraging and beachcombing 🥰😃🦀🦞🦐🦪🐟🐠🐡🐙🐚
Congratulations on passing the 200,000 subscriptions mark. You are doing a great job and every time I see one of your new video, my day seems to be a little brighter. Thanks!!!!!
I agree you made this channel with all the hard work you and your family put into it, many many thanks to you I thoroughly enjoy watching you fish, I bet your father in law loved that plaice a real corker, take care mate.
Well done John and Family on 200K Subs. You all deserve it so much for all the work you put in to the channel. Always a joy watching your stuff. My Best As Always, Stevie in Fife.
Congratulations on passing 200,000 subscribers. Really well deserved, your videos are compulsive viewing for me and my youngest. You bring back some of my fondest memories for me with my Dad on the rocks at Carnoustie. Something my youngest is desperate to do when we next get back there. She loves watching you with James.
Congratulations on a fine catch and to see so many fantastic species in good sizes points to great Fishery Management and people like yourself looking after and helping to keep stocks healthy. Well done John you are a star and the message you send out is one of hope for our future generations....Love What Yo Do ! X Keep Safe and love to the family
Fully deserve your success pal , fishing programs offer miss the point and don't touch on why we all love this sport , it's not just about catching it's about a thousand different things and you just about show all of them , brilliant shows
Congratulations on the great milestone of 200 000 subscribers John & Hanna, the quality & educational value of your vids are the attraction, keep it up mate 🍾🎉👍👍
What a beautiful fish the Ballan Wrasse. Well done John,! You have beaten my PB of a 6.5 lbs Ballan Wrasse in a boat off Manorbier in South West Wales in 1987.
Huge congratulations on 201, 000. You deserve every one of us. Thankyou for the entertainement and more importantly thankyou for the education. A day to be right chuffed with. All the very best to you and all the Locker family.
Just WOW John! Congratulations on 200k subscribers - already 201k a couple of days later! 👍👍 Superp trip out on the bowat (!) 2 very nice Pollock 🐟🐟, and that Wrasse was an absolute Piggy Porker, so congrats again on the PB! 😁😁 And then you go and haul in that stonker of a Plaice! Much jealousy here! One of my favourite eating fish too - it would be interesting to see how Capt. Spargo cooks it! Nice one mate - stay safe & well. 👍👍

Starting with Pollack (most anglers would take home) you put them back. Then we had the stunning Ballan Wrasse (also put back) a new p.b. so congratulations again for that. The odd tips that I would never of thought of like securing your lure to the rod. Finally we had that magnificent Plaice (going to your father in law). Viewing just does not get better than that and the smile on your face just got wider and wider. Anyway enough rambling on, just know you bring a lot of warmth into our household and thanks for your brilliant posts.
David, it is absolutely my pleasure to share our videos and our adventures with you my friend. Take care and best wishes to you and your family. 😊🎣
Ive been hooking through eyes for years, didnt realize it would damage them! you just keep sharing wisdom!
If you pop the eye balls then it can mess them up. If you go across but just in front of the eyes they can be good. 👍🏻
Hello again from Oz & congratulations to the Fish Locker Family for a well deserved milestone.
I believe you have created a monster that will only get bigger John & its because of your consistent top quality videos, love for the environment & good advise.
Thankyou, keep em coming & tight lines John.
Fantastic achievement and another great video. It's your videos that has got me back boat fishing after 20 years. I have bought an Orkney Pilothouse 20 and will be fishing Cardigan Bay West Wales
Amazing Gary and good luck. 😊🎣

Well done mate. Very happy for you.

What a fantastic trip out, that wrasse was superb and the pollock too but that plaice, wow.
Congrats on the 200.000 plus subscribers. Totally enjoy the lives, you and Hannah deserve it for all your hard you've put into making the Fish locker such a success. Time to chill out a bit now mate and reduce the long hours replying to us all, greatly appreciated but unnecessary. Regards to all the family. Love and thanks
I'll do what I can but you are right. A balance must be had. Take care mate. 😊
congratz on the subs milestone very much earned, not just the fishing, not just the foraging, no just the flora and fauna, but a nice family giving us all moments to make us smile xx
The best sea fishing channel on UA-cam well done again John.

That Ballan Wrasse going back and the footage you got of it swimming down with the camera underwater was brilliant. Congratulations on your PB and keep up the good work 😃
Thank you very much. I'm really glad the Wrasse went back strong. He was a proper donkey wasn't he!!
Me and my daughters (4 and 9 years old) love your videos. We have a trip planned to Bude in July and I can’t wait to take them rockpooling where thanks to you they will have a great base knowledge of what life they can expect to find 👍
I hope you had a good time in June. 😊👍🏻

Hello Fish Locker and family, from Whangarei, Northland, in New Zealand. Congratulations on 200k subscribers!! My two sons, 8 &16, love watching your channel with me, especially your coastal and seashore foraging videos, which are so informative and great, wholesome family viewing. We have also tried a couple of beach catch n cooks ourselves ( which we also love to watch) since subscribing to your channel and becoming big fans. My 8 year old son really loves to see Fish Locker Jr foraging and beachcombing 🥰😃🦀🦞🦐🦪🐟🐠🐡🐙🐚
By far the most professional fisherman on the seas
Congratulations on passing the 200,000 subscriptions mark. You are doing a great job and every time I see one of your new video, my day seems to be a little brighter. Thanks!!!!!
I agree you made this channel with all the hard work you and your family put into it, many many thanks to you I thoroughly enjoy watching you fish, I bet your father in law loved that plaice a real corker, take care mate.
So much top knowledge you share, absolute pleasure to watch, Thankyou for always finding the time to video your adventures 👍

Congratulations again John on reaching yet another Mile Stone. It’s onwards and upwards for you mate. Please just keep them coming.
WELL DONE TO ALL THE FISH LOCKER FAMLEY. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE VIDIOS, I LOOK FORWARD TO MANEY MORE. KIND REGARDS RICHARD.
I love going out on the boat with you. I can actually imagine the weather and smell of the sea .
Congratulations on passing 200,000 subscribers. Really well deserved, your videos are compulsive viewing for me and my youngest. You bring back some of my fondest memories for me with my Dad on the rocks at Carnoustie. Something my youngest is desperate to do when we next get back there. She loves watching you with James.
Congratulations on a fine catch and to see so many fantastic species in good sizes points to great Fishery Management and people like yourself looking after and helping to keep stocks healthy. Well done John you are a star and the message you send out is one of hope for our future generations....Love What Yo Do ! X Keep Safe and love to the family
I expect nothing less from a fisherman of your skill awesome John well done ,keep up the great content 👍
Haha. Thats very high praise 😉
Fully deserve your success pal , fishing programs offer miss the point and don't touch on why we all love this sport , it's not just about catching it's about a thousand different things and you just about show all of them , brilliant shows
Congratulations on the great milestone of 200 000 subscribers John & Hanna, the quality & educational value of your vids are the attraction, keep it up mate 🍾🎉👍👍
What a beautiful fish the Ballan Wrasse. Well done John,! You have beaten my PB of a 6.5 lbs Ballan Wrasse in a boat off Manorbier in South West Wales in 1987.
That’s still a monster PB that mate. 👍🏻
Huge congratulations on 201, 000. You deserve every one of us. Thankyou for the entertainement and more importantly thankyou for the education. A day to be right chuffed with. All the very best to you and all the Locker family.
Loved the underwater footage of the wrasse making his way back down ! Looked mega !
What a channel...Its so good to see you “reaping what you sow”(201k)...And to see you getting a PB with the Wrasse...Well done.
Just WOW John! Congratulations on 200k subscribers - already 201k a couple of days later! 👍👍 Superp trip out on the bowat (!) 2 very nice Pollock 🐟🐟, and that Wrasse was an absolute Piggy Porker, so congrats again on the PB! 😁😁
And then you go and haul in that stonker of a Plaice! Much jealousy here! One of my favourite eating fish too - it would be interesting to see how Capt. Spargo cooks it! Nice one mate - stay safe & well. 👍👍
The session was a proper red letter day and I truly believe it was due to the positive mood I was in heading out. 😊
Congratulations on 200k subscribers!! My two sons, 8 &16, love watching your channel with me, especially your coastal and seashore foraging videos, which are so informative and great, wholesome family viewing.

Have to say thanks to you aswell cuz you seem to answer almost every question I've asked so appreciate it alot cuz this is a very informative show no matter how long you've been fishing, my moto is "you never stop learning when you're into fishing!"
I agree and feel the same, every day is a school day. 😉
Congrats on reaching 200k subs... and your PB Wrasse, loved the underwater shot of it heading back down to the bottom. Thanks John.
Watching that ballan go back was amazing.
Great to see them go back strong isn’t it. 👍🏻
