We dip into his intentions and ethos behind the channel he has suck to which has been fundamental behind his success.

A hero of mine, not just as an angler, but as a person too. Such a positive impact on the world. Keep up the good work mate ❤
John Locker is the fisherman's Fred Dibnah, laid back and interesting to listen to.
You are a true gentleman it’s a pleasure watching your utube. Content
Fishlocker is the best UA-cam channel ever 100%
He literally put back 2 of the biggest lobsters you will ever see, just to protect the ocean stock... 🦞 the man is a legend all round.
No, John, it's not just lockdown. It's YOU! You're unique. Honest and caring. Keep up the good work. Also, health and healing to you, James, and all the family.
I'm from the USA and I am amazed at this guy. I liked when he caught a Bluefin Tuna.
John! You're a delight to listen to ... you make us all so proud ! Xx
John, You talk a lot of sense. You are a remarkable man. Your films are so educational and informative. I have been sea fishing for 45 years and still learning with your films. long may it continue.
Agree so much been fishing 45 years myself and learnt so much from John, he's changed my attitude on so many things and opened my eyes to so many things I've generally walked past , I wish him and his family all the very best.
This man deserves all the publicity in the world I hope is Channel keeps on growing and growing it's by far the most entertaining and informative UA-cam channel for fishing if you have any young children who want to learn this is the man who can teach them. I have no doubt he would have returned that fish if you look at his last video on UA-cam and see the two lobsters he caught they were amazing absolutely massive and he Returned them.
John has done wonders for the Sport his Channel is one of the best on UA-cam
This guy has literally changed my family’s life! From being the couch potato family to being the outdoors adventure family!! If we watch tv now it’s the fish locker and the kids get the kitchen chairs out, like it’s the cinema!! I’m just so thankful to John!! All the best to him and his family 👍🏻
I don’t know how old your children are but if they are young say under ten trust me take them fishing or to the park to climb trees or anything that you do as a family and you will have nostalgic chats with them when they are older.
You won’t just have fun with them in the moment but for years to come
So glad that John’s channel has made a difference to you and your family 👍beautiful thing
John's interaction we me has been very welcome and John you are right it's helped all of us and it's very kind of you to take the time to contact us when you've had the time ! Uplifting smile on the boat and roast scallops on the beach !!
John always takes the time to engage with people in his comment sections, and that speaks volumes about his integrity and commitment. Even when he was on holiday in Canada he still made time for his fans.
13 thumbs down 19.06.21. 13 negative people. Keep up the good work John. Keep your videos coming.
The most genuine knowledgeable uk fishermen on the UA-cam 👍
John Rocks...!
👍👍
I like John’s morals and respect he has for the fish and the sea .= Top Bloke
Great video. I love the fish locker 👍
Hi John, Ive followed your channel for such a long time and from the first one I saw I new by your deportment that you were military. In the forces you are looking after the man next to you and you are still doing that through your fishlocker vids... i also new that you must have marine biology back ground knowing all the names of everything that passes through your hands. Even the average angler wouldnt know the names that you know. As I've said to you before im 70 years old and to infirm to get out much. But your interaction makes me feel a heap better about myself, A very big thankyou John, I cant say that to often ...One of lifes gentleman.
The Fish Locker family has been a God send to me. It has taken me to a place where I always wanted to be. Some place I hope to see someday. Awesome podcast.
What a decent bloke. No airs and graces. Genuine. Anyone that can catch a 21 pound Bass has my eternal respect. What a fish. Great video too.
Fantastic podcast, I could sit and listen to John all day... Thanks mate!
Such a humble and straight talking guy.
Bringing and teaching us all with every video .
Professional and ethical I hope young James grows up to be just like his dad and carry in his dad’s footsteps 👍🏻
Enjoy all your videos cobber. Happy catching from AUSTRALIA Nick
Respect to you John you are a great ambassador for our sport
Stumbled upon Fish Locker channel through Haze Outdoors. Outstanding content and i know nothing about fishing! Compelling viewing
My British hero!
John you are a top man. I love your honesty and integrity. Stay safe and tight lines . Mike.
I am a huge fish locker fan and after watching this even more so John is a class act
You can't buy Class. That Man is Class, an inspiration to both young and old. So many people love how and what he is sharing with his great Positivity. I know for sure that his efforts and that of a local youtuber have helped me through difficult times. I can't thank people like them enough. I wish him and his Family all the very best.
john you are an inspiration to all the sea angling fraternity (from scotland)
Don't be to hard on yourself about your ears John , they will be a godsend when you need to constantly wear glasses.
Love your content and watching your videos. Thanks for keeping us entertained. Phil, Manchester.
All the best john your a inspiration to us all keep it up you make our week 👍 tight lines
John Locker videos are the ones I turn to if I need to know any thing to do with fishing. Well done John on the record, but I will try to beat it someday, Yeah right LOL.👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣
John has the best fishing channel on youtube IMO. Brilliant choice of interview!!
Great veiving John is always honest and respectful a great ambassador.... Keep up the good work
Fishlocker videos changed my life in a huge positive way. I can't thank him enough.
John Locker has changed the attitudes of of thousands of people through his you tube channels on both the natural world along the costal shoreline of southern britain, the shallows and deeper areas of sea, his understanding of what he films and knowledge of nature both in and out of the water is remarkable, he is a asset to the people of britain and a absolute gentleman and scolar.
By watching THE FISHLOCKER, your life and your priorities will change for ever and the better, i congratulate both John and Hannah for their foresight inventing and producing THE FISHLOCKER and their success and may it continue and prosper beyond their wildest dreams.
God bless John and Hannah and their wonderful family, take care and stay safe and keep it lit.👍 my friends. SGD.
John is such a great guy....... been there from the start ;)
Huge fan of the FishLocker channel, never miss an episode. Could listen to John all day and not get bored
john is a proper down to earth person and has a beautiful family. wish there were many more people like him unfortunately the 20th century is full of renards and people who are to judgmental for their own good. really good interview, thumbs up.
You John are a fishing legend, keep up making the videos they are fantastic.
Your a good man John and u got a wonderful family
Brilliant guy, lovely family and 100% superb content. Get him followed guys.
The first time I saw one of John's videos, he was spotting scallops on a beach. I was awed by the skill he has for seeing something that 99% of people would have missed. I thought this man must be a marine biologist. He's a bit of a hero to me.
Locker really is a splendid fellow
He's really good to watch even from further afield, Washington State, USA.
I enjoy this guy, good person and it shows
Good evening John ☺ just been watching your interview,l feel so incredibly proud of you.l new from the first time l come across your channel....l said and l new you would do well.Big congratulations to you and your beautiful family 👏👏👏👏🌱🌱🌱💕
Simply the best.
Best fishing channel on UA-cam
Top channel, top bloke, top Father. Big respect if we ever crossed paths I'd insist on buying John a beer. James must be so so proud of his Dad.
I would love to meet him
@Kimmich The Warrior - Haha. Care to explain?
John - @Brian Clarkson took the words out of my mouth - except for the time spent fishing!
Being such an influence to your young friend and changing his outlook in life is commendable and a massive credit to you.
There are way too many young people who don't get these experiences... I can put any of your UA-cam videos on TV and my 11yr old daughter goes quiet and does complain when the next one comes up... Thanks John... 👍
What a great bloke. He is by far the best youtuber out there. A wealth of knowledge and fantastic fisherman and just a really nice guy. Great stuff 🎣🎣🎣
Fantastic video John great to hear your views on so many subjects. Some people need to realise this ain't no dress rehearsal, you get one go at life. Enjoy your time and respect the environment it's beautiful. Thanks John👍
Just watched your new podcast and you never fail to deliver a great education show. I regard myself as so fortunate to have subscribed to your videos. Though we have never formally met there are times when I feel like I'm standing besides you in your boat watching the lines with you. I am 69 today and are curse with COPD badly. Not likely I'll ever get to go fishing again because of it. I have great memories though and am anxious to get in the new boat with you as long as you OK it my friend🤞! LOL
Hi. you have my upmost Respect ..👏👏👏👍👍👍🐟🐟🐟
Seven dislikes shame on you, I can’t wait for John to hit a quarter of 1 million, Fairplay to you. Don’t change the format .
Jealous wannabes
It's the 'negative knickers' faction he spoke about. They still count towards interaction though, so still help the vid :-)
I’ve been been a subscriber to John’s channel for a long time and have always loved the down to earth honesty.
Watching this video it’s great to get to know the man a bit better the word that comes to mind is integrity.
Really appreciate this video
Awesome sir
Absolute legend this lad!!!
I have been following John's Channel for a good few years now. He is excellent at what he does and a proper gent.
Top man john
He's a bloody legend love the videos with his boy especially him catching sharks ha john your brilliant milatery family too and well just the definition in your voice makes it memory of my dad well my brother is the same still too ha
Keep doing what you're doing Mr Locker well done
Great interview. I have a lot of respect for John for what he has done with his UA-cam channel and his family. Wish the Lockers all the very best.
Great to hear that your values are more important to you than money..... Love your channel.
Great interview with John. Been a subscriber to his channels since being stuck in Hospital over 3 years ago. I heard rumours of a podcast but don't normally bother with such things, so glad I came across this by chance. Strange that there is no mention of the interviewer's name. Stay safe & well. 👍👍
License required for boat operators since about year 2000 here in Canada.I was operating my own powerboat when I was 12 years old but license wasnt required back then. I earned the money mowing lawns and digging gardens.Still trying to run a boat at age 69.Times are changing. We enjoy your vids here on Canadian Westcoast.
Even from half way around the world the subjects you film and activities you explain are relevant and relatable . Your presentation style and humility and the joy you express each time are uplifting. I look forward to each presentation. God bless you.
John, thanks so much for your fantastic videos my friend!
John is an absolute fishing legend hats off to this man for sure best fishing channel out there by far
Good interview 👍 honest is the word and I think your channel is one of the best on UA-cam
I read once a very true saying 10% of the fishermen catch 90% of the fish the other 90% catch the remaining 10% unfortunately I am in the unskilled 90%but watching Johns videos is a real pleasure.
A absolute top bloke and some people could learn a lot from his attitude to life
I watched John's channel through lock down inspirational this man is a top guy all respect John and good luck in all your future ventures.
I hope someone from Amazon Prime see’s this. This man deserves a series. Undoubtedly the best fishing content on UA-cam.
The first time I watched his video I was like I don't like his accent, but after watching a few videos I'm now addicted to the fish locker.. love your show John keep up the good work
I love the Fish Locker channel! So interesting and the underwater videos are spectacular! Cheers for your continued success!
Oh, what a treat. Thanks for this and Hi to John and his family.
Great chat John, you know I love your videos and always something new to learn. Always look forward to the next video. All the best mate, Graham🎣🎣🐟🐟
Very well said John !
Great interview! Im a fish locker subscriber, and DIDNT know Mr locker had the UK bass record!!!
I am a subscriber and watched many of your videos the past year; they are very well put together, educational and an inspiration to all of us.
The most important thing is your explain of the rigs, gear you use & the method used.
Both keep the good work up & Thanks
Why can't people understand that those two Tuna were by-catch not targeted fish and that they were both released alive. So where is there a problem. One of your best videos. All the best.
Well done John
So what even if they were targeted they were treated respectfully and sent on their way in good condition.
Why do some people feel that their uninformed opinion is worth a damn.
Totally agree with you 👍
@@rickyribs8032 I said it that way because in UK waters it is illegal to target TUNA for sport. If they are caught accidentaly and released alive as was the case here there are neither legal or moral reasons to complain. When some idiots see the beautiful fish, they complain but they have no problem buying TUNA in a can!!!
@@rhino5419 fair enough I wasn’t aware of that 👍
Brilliant video and a great insight into John’s history and why he started the channel. A very knowledgable fisherman and a great angler. Well done guys 👍👍👍👍
Really enjoyed this interview John. We have many things in common, from a love of marine biology, to bass angling and views about family life and marine safety. I hope that my ex-colleagues at Treliske Haematology are looking after your son well.
A good insight into the life of one of the most genuine good guys out there .
The more people that live family life or just take some of these morals will lead an all round nicer life and be nicer for it 👍
Brilliant John, really enjoyed listen, well done,
Really enjoyed this very worthwhile,John is so truthful and down to earth with his advice.
Best family on UA-cam. Fantastic knowledge delivered in an awesome manner. Long may it continue. And I'm almost seventy. Keep it up........
Simply put ,good lad, good channel ,good interview
I've watched 'The Fish Locker' for some years now, but I didn't know this video of John explaining its origins etc existed.
Great stuff, and I didn't know he was the UK bass record holder.
Top man. Respect 👌
Great stuff 👍
I love your channel, John as I love sea fishing and you have taught me so much in a nice approachable way. Keep it up.
I loved listening to this john thankyou for being you and standing by your principles. Money and fame wont make you happier and this shines through in you character. RESPECT to you and your family. You have inspired me to get back out on the water after a low period in my life..All of training is very much needed cheers..i dont know how i could ever repay your help and guidance but i am strong believer in fate.
Aahhh so it was John that caught it ! Ha might have known . I fish that area quite regularly can get some decent bass but nothing like John caught , nice pod cast
He should have sponsors growing out of his ears hes the best sea fisherman I've seen. Would live to meet him I'd screw his brain for knowledge. Big up John and your family
