    Thank you for another stunning video! Yet again, memories have been stirred. Dad had a friend at work who had a small boat in Exmouth (we lived in east Devon). He often gave Dad mackerel that was excess to his need. One day he brought an old fertiliser sack to work, containing 3 large dog fish. He thought they'd make a good meal for my family (there were 7 of us including Mum and Dad.) He was right - but first came the task of skinning the fish - as you'll know, the skin is like sandpaper. Pliers, vice grips, even nailing them to a door lintel to gain a decent grip - it took hours to prepare them for cooking. It was so amusing that my eldest brother drew a cartoon of the activity and Mum wrote a poem, both of which were published in the Farmers Weekly a short time later! I know we all enjoyed the end result and Dad found a faster and easier way to skin them, so whenever his friend caught them, we received the means of making a heap of fish and chips for dinner! Gosh, that was a long time ago now! Happy memories, though! I wouldn't alter any aspect of my childhood and appreciate your bringing memories back for me to enjoy! Thanks, John and family! xx

    What a cracking days fishing. 😊👍I think I counted 8 species including the 'Baby Kraken🐙' and if you caught the Launce on the way out, that makes 9.😊 Those Plaice were fine looking fish and one of the tastiest too. I just like them pan fried with chunky chips and minted peas. My first ever sea fish age 6/7 was a 12oz Plaice caught on one of those old wooden hand lines with the orange nylon line, a watch lead and about 2 ft of mono, rag worm on a size 6ish hook. It's amazing how much you remember about your first fish. That old hand line hung in my Dad's shed for years lol. I caught it in the Looe River and my Nan cooked it for me. It tasted amazing and I'd caught it. 😁. Ps those Blonde Ray's really made the trip perfect. Thanks as always for sharing your amazing adventures with us John and it's great to see Lizzy out in the boat with you. 🐟🎣 👍😊.

    Oh how I love fried plaice! Some people say they are smelly and they sure do have a specific smell but I think it's not that bad actually. When my mum was young she was a member of a diving club called Atlantis. About 30 years ago she went diving in the sea of Japan with her crew. They were also fishing and she would always tell me how enormously much plaice they had caught. That fish was an everyday meal for them. Also, that's where she met my father, he was the instructor guy:) This video brought back some of my memories and those are the good ones, indeed. Cheers!

Moreover, they picked a really nice spot, not many people around. She told me it was infested with this fish. They would not use a fishing rod, just a line, a hook and mussels as a bait. The reaction would be almost immediate. Now that I think of it, they stayed there for a month... might have eaten all of it then haha

    When I was working at a factory in London, I got the phone number of a fishmonger at Billingsgate Fish Market and told my colleague, a chap from Uganda who loved having a laugh, that a man called Arthur Gurnard phoned whilst he was away from his post and could he ring him back urgently. He phoned the number and asked for Arthur Gurnard ('alf a Gurnard) The fishmonger replied, "That's a fish" and after a while, put the phone down. My colleague was by now (still not realising it was a joke) adamant he wanted to speak to Arthur Gurnard and phoned him back again. It was only after the fishmonger hung up a second time that I told him it was a windup! 😂

    I bought some expensive (for me) Shimano rod and reel for fishing but our covid lockdown was during our summer so i never got to use it but damn your show is entertaining as hell.I love the variety of fish you catch and your knowledge on them makes it all the much better.But I have two questions..you've caught a lot of wrasse in your last few shows but put them back,are they not good eating? And secondly at 5.32 in the video,in the water near your elbow,is that a jellyfish or some plastic bag floating? Btw you deserve WAYYY more subs for your show.

Then she would lay a piece of kitchen roll over the fish,pour a splosh of milk and pop in the microwave for a few mins. It was just perfect. Going to my local fish mongers tomorrow hoping he has some tasty eats. Have a lovely eating. .. I always loved how happy rays look when you look at the bellies. Such smiley cool critters 😄
