We caught a living DINOSAUR!!!! Catching Giants on the Fraser River | The Fish Locker

[@TheFishLocker]

Everything about this trip just made it an all time best ever. The amazing scenery, phenomenal natural beauty, the sheer unknown of what could be on the line next. A 2lb fish or a 10ft fish? Being able to do something I have been dreaming about for over 20 years and best of all, doing it with my family. Amazing. 💙

[@karlwalker8629]

one lucky man mate

[@Kopite76]

Goals.👌

[@crashbang756]

Blessed family……James catching and landing that fish, will live with him forever….he’s gonna be so knowledgeable in a few years…..he knows a lot now 💯👍❤️

[@derekmay8679]

What a great time for you all...Almost felt like I was there with you...Brilliant video and thanks for the great entertainment. Your boy James is a credit to you both...can't wait for my boy to be able to get into it like James...he's only 3.5 so he's not quite getting it yet...all the best to you...

Just when you thought The Fish Locker content couldn't possible get any better... thanks for the upload John

[@TheFishLocker]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻🫶🏼

[@Richard.357]

Incredible wow, when Mrs fishlocker started on that monster with the sound of the train horn, and the cheers as the fish jumped, and James catching his own dinosaur, what a fantastic skipper who was as excited as you to see you catch a legendary monster of the deep. I know I've written wow before, but wow, that was amazing. Thanks again for taking us on your amazing adventure.

[@TheFishLocker]

Glad you enjoyed it, we are still completely blown away by the whole experience 😍😍

[@marksutton116]

The smile on your face says everything you need to know. Great family memories mate.

I was in my element mate. Loved every minute of it.

[@robgunnAK47]

The trip and fish of a lifetime John, when you were in the water with that 9 foot plus lump i just knew how you felt its such an incredible feeling and it takes time to take it all in. Best bit of viewing i have seen for years absolutely fantastic. Follow that.

[@TheFishLocker]

Mate this was just a dream come true for me to be able to share this trip with my family. 💙🎣

[@TheFishLocker]

And what makes it even better is we have the video to watch over and over.

[@alexisgrunden1556]

The amazement in James' voice, when that little pike-minnow took the whole floater under the water~😅 I think today he learned that it's not always about the size of the fish in the fight, but the size of the fight in your fish!😂🎣🐟 It looks like you guys had a blast and a half! after a 9-foot, 400+ pound fish, no wonder you're beat! 😂

[@daystatesniper01]

John ,i have watched you from day one , this is the best video you have ever made end of ,amazing all round ,even i as a Yorkie am lost for words ,Thank You for posting

[@TheFishLocker]

It is our pleasure mate. The trip and the fishing was out of this world. The fact I got to do it with Hannah and James was just the icing on the cake. 💙🎣

[@mikeridge3229]

Wow just wow. And James your growing up fast mate. A great family holiday plus a good skipper.

Hey Hannah, CONGRATS on once again catching the biggest fish two fishing days in a row, 2-0 for the CROWN, the WINNER and also for the biggest fish caught on this whole trip!! And James, taking the trophy for 3 different fish species!, well done James! So enjoyed this posting John and enjoyed spending the time with you and the family! As others have said, you were within a days drive of where I live, Idaho. I now have another reason to visit the Frasier River besides rock hunting, 2 of my favorite hobbies in one place! So glad you and the family enjoyed this part of Mother Earth. Come back again! My blessings on your return trip home.

[@carolkelly4884]

That was amazing you too😊

Thank you Carol. I’m glad you enjoyed joining us.

Fair play to Mrs Fish Locker for having a go kudos what a super video and hats off to Master Fish Locker for his super catch

[@TheFishLocker]

[@MuzzleDoc086]

Once again a fantastic experience being shared with your Lovely family,, what memories you are building with James and Hannah.. Well done

[@TheFishLocker]

This is just us sharing what we love doing. 😊🎣💙

[@MarkoHolopainen]

What an absolute pleasure to watch your family enjoying fishing and making wonderful memories, Reminds me of my childhood when my father would take me out fishing. give a man a fish he will eat for the day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for a life time was one of my favourite sayings to hear as a small child, It makes me truly happy to see parents taking the time to teach their children how to fish. All the best Marko from Moreton Bay Queensland Australia

[@TheFishLocker]

We are simply sharing what we love doing Mark. I am glad you enjoyed joining us. 👍🏻🎣

[@keithhepworth3088]

[@TheFishLocker]

He’s just brilliant 🤩

[@toms4123]

What an adventure. And how fortunate that the whole family likes to participate, Hannah is a gem. And James is great - the level of his interest and enthusiasm is testimony of his upbringing and bodes well for his future.

[@davidhall1779]

so awesome that you got to visit beautiful BC and smack in a great sturgeon bite. Fishing is fishing John no matter where, and believe me your timing for this trip was absolutely perfect. What fantastic memories you will all have. And the best part of it all, you brought all us viewers along for the ride. I just Love it.

[@TheFishLocker]

We had a wonderful time david and I am very glad to be able to share the video with you.

[@marksando3082]

I love this area. Just stunningly beautiful and there's also some absolutely fantastic scuba diving throughout the Strait of Georgia.

[@TheFishLocker]

Wow. What is the visibility like?

[@marksando3082]

@@TheFishLocker Depends a lot on conditions. Generally vis is best in the winter with summer of course experiencing heavy algae blooms that can really knock vis down below 10 ft but also very heavy sustained rainfall during winter can cause lots of sediment in the Strait and poor vis. But in good conditions visibility of 20-50 ft is more typical. So much invertebrate life including lots of soft corals.

[@andysmith819]

Fantastic! Your guide certainly knows his stuff!

[@TheFishLocker]

He was fantastic

[@andrewsycamore3661]

The whole thing about the video is amazing. The scenery is breathtaking. And congrats on the awesome sturgeon. they are such an amazing looking fish

[@malcolmpym507]

Wow what a stunning location just to be on holiday let alone fishing in that environment. An experience james will never forget and be able to brag at home.

It was a dream come true. 💙🇨🇦

[@PhreddCrintt]

Almost lost for words... Everything from seeing you John (may I say this?) right on the edge of your limits (and clearly a professional I must say!) to James being so capable! I have to include Hannah! Wow! The biggest 'hook' of the session! Brilliant John - and your magnificent Host - Fraser River Lodge. Thank you - all of you for wonderful video.

[@TheFishLocker]

This fish I have no problem in saying tested me. But it is called “Fighting a fish” after all. 😉

[@jacquelinecolt2100]

OMG, I've driven 3 round trips to home in Alaska. Had I known there were sturgeon in the Frazer, I would have found a dog sitter and booked a guide for me. I have been after that fish since about 1958 or 1959 on the Carquinez Straits near San Francisco. Thank you so much for the wonderful trip. Great job James and Hannah.

[@TheFishLocker]

I can whole heartedly recommend John and the Fraser river lodge fishing team.

[@dash324]

You know, I haven't been fishing since I was a young fry (yes, gratuitous fish joke intended 🐟), but watching your videos makes me relive the Dad-and-Young-Daughter fishing trips with so much nostalgic fondness. Lost Dad in 2020 😪, and no longer fish, myself, but I do watch every one of your videos and just smile from being allowed to share in your family's joys, celebrations, achievements ... and cooking! If I wasn't at the age I am, I'd be relocating to England and begging to be adopted! Many warm thanks and hugs. And hug James for me, as well. He rocks, as always. ❤

[@MrSCOTTtheSCOT]

Superb , man, what a lifetime experience for all of you, nice , very nice , thanks for tagging us along that's some amazing sights . Beautiful. I Knew these things pulled like a train but i didn't know the call of the sturgeon was like a Canadian Pacific locomotive

Thank you for taking me home. I grew up a stones throw from the Fraser River and even though I live in Colorado now I tell people nothing beats the views you can see in British Columbia. Fyi the largest sturgeon caught in the Fraser River was 11ft and 1,100 pounds so your 9 1/2 footer wasn’t to far off.
