Can’t get enough of these vids man! Ready for that “how you got there” video to drop! Keep up the good work! Stay safe brotha!
working on it! want it to be a good one! gotta dig through some old photos!
It’s remarkable how our primal instincts are rewired and made to adapt by the system of fisheries regulations. From that first visceral vibe the hunter feels at encountering a 15/20lb prey item to the casual disregard of that fish because it’s off limits. I’m not a fan of all the fishing laws, but I am a fan of the sustainable fisheries we have because of them. What a blessing for you sharing your life and inspiring others. The way you cherish and gratitude you convey speaks volumes to your character. I wish you continued success. Thank you for sharing this!
its very interesting thats for sure! it's a strange concept I agree but without them the greed of humans would ruin the resource unfortunately. thanks so much for tuning in happy to hear you enjoy the videos!
From catching a fish on a hook alone, to the goliath, to the ray, to that massive school of baitfish, I can't get enough of this stuff. Great video!
so glad you enjoyed it! thanks for coming along!
That was my life in high school living on Marco Island, the Ten Thousand Islands were at my backdoor. Now at 65 living in Pa. I can only live through you Aaron, thank you my brother!
hear thats a lovely place but never been! love to hear you enjoy the vids!
If I could spend the rest of my days prospecting those little cuts and catching mango's for dinner... I'd die a happy man. Until then, I'll just watch you. 👍
amen! thats what Im going for! hope to one day know them all!
Best fishing show doesn't act like the best fishing show. Great video.
just trying to have some fun!
Won't miss one of your video's Aaron. You're calm nature and skill put you at the top of TH-cam outdoor creators in my book.
Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
Great video Aaron. Thank you for sharing 🚤🐟🤜🤛💯🏝🎶🎵🌊🐟🚤🌾
Thanks for watching as always!
Thanks for taking us with you. I've lived in the Pompano bch. Deerfield bch. area for 53 yrs. Have to say you are living my dream. Always said to the wife when I quit working I'd love to live on a houseboat in the keys and have a small boat for fishing. When I was a child my grandparents would take me to their trailer in morehead N.C. They knew I loved to fish. Got a lot of great memories. Going to hit the subscribe love the content.
welcome to the channel! love to hear you enjoy the channel!
These style of videos are actually my favorite of all
Love to hear it!
Great video. Can't wait for the back story of the legend of key west waterman 💯
Haha thanks for watching!
For anyone who’s never lived in the Florida Keys, Aaron and his videos absolutely epitomize the actual experience. If he comes off as calm, capable, simple, and real, that’s his Keys showing.
haha love it! thanks for tuning in!
@@KeyWestWaterman You’re a legend, man.
Speak softly and carry a luxurious, salty beard. May your lines be tight, your beer be cold, and your woman affectionate. #keyslife
First I want to thank you for letting me live vicariously through you in your videos that was some of the most beautiful underwater structures amazing abundance of life that those mangroves hold thank you for sharing my friend
happy to share! happy to hear you enjoy them!
Beautiful view …👍😍❤️
love it out there!
These are some of my favorites when you dive right out back of your home. Great content as usual. I would love to free dive in the mangroves. Thanks dibs on bottom
love to hear it! absolutely love it back there!
These are the best type. Back country in the back yard. Love it
never gets old!
Man you're so lucky.. I'm in Texas but I'm from the islands of Micronesia and I miss all that...thats life your living
wouldn't change it for the world! thanks so much for tuning in, would love to visit there some day!
I love the way the light bounces off the mangrove beds. Straight beams of beautiful light dancing on the bottom. Some ripples of light from the surface. Need more of that!
really is a magical place!
Mondays can’t come quick enough, always anticipating your uploads! Documenting your start to finish of captaining a charter would be neat if you ever need a video idea! Thanks again for the videos Aaron !
always appreciate feedback! thanks for tuning in!
Just discovered your videos, they’re extremely peaceful. Watching before bed is the best way to unwind, right after smoking. Rest assured you’re far happier than most. Wish you the best of luck on your channel, Aaron!
love to hear it! thanks so much for watching!
Mostly peaceful.
I love Mondays. I’m a food fisherman like you but I could just snorkel those cuts all day long. Your jewfish reminded me of last week at the beach. Had a baby flounder hanging with me. Dropped a shrimp to him. To little to get the hook so I wasn’t concerned. Had it almost coming out of the water for it. Went on for a bit. Thanks for my Mondays.
love it back there! thanks for coming along!
Clear water and beautiful spot for fishing and diving.i like it 👍
glad you enjoyed it!
Should I start calling you Gimpy…haha Noticed the knee brace.
lol getting old! fishing every day will kill ya!
@@KeyWestWaterman son you ain’t old I’m 62 and I ain’t old yet…
You,
Just wow . You are blessed . Be well , I’m glad to see that you are aware enough to stop and smell the roses.
I am! didn't come easy but living the life I dreamed of!
Always worth watching!
thanks for tuning in!
From one waterman to another waterman, one video rolls into the next and I’m glued! Great job all the way around.
Haha love to hear it!
Epic Aaron,
Being from West Palm Beach and haven't been back in 40 years , knowing how the population has grown in that time. Its nice to see there are still tranquil spots like still existing. And it doesn't hurt being around the corner from your home either. This is a dream for a lot of people. Video was perfect from start to finish.
its my dream through and through! thanks so much for tuning in!
Wow!! I can’t get enough of these beautiful spots. We use to catch redfish in a place called Cape Haze. It’s a huge Jessie of mangos that stretch for miles across from Burnt Store Marina in Boca. Throwing spoons tight under the mangos. We dove one time here and my goodness it looked the same as here where you are. I mean just sooo much life. Many more gag groupers. Juveniles. That’s where they go to grow up. All the life does. It’s a huge nursery for them before heading out to the reefs. I’m very surprised that you don’t see anymore than you do while spear fishing these areas. Do you ever see any gags? Plenty of Jew Fish for sure. They are eating everything in their oaths that’s for sure. I have to say my brother loves watching these with us. I cast your vids onto our 70” Visio with surround sound and we watch and watch and watch your stuff. I’m the guy that takes care of my brother man. I spoke to you the other night and sent you an email. I’m very serious about maybe finding a place a lot like yours somewhere down there. We did a fence for a guy that owns a real estate company there in Key West. I often wonder if your wife may work for them. They live here in Ridge Manor Fl right now but are in the process of selling the real estate company down there in Key West. I’m going to try to talk them into maybe selling me one of their places down there sooner than later I’m hoping. I may put a large chunk of change on something down there while I can. Any suggestions would be great man. Don’t want to commercial fish at all. Just would love to eat fresh fish everyday for the rest of my life that’s for sure. I am a native Floridian brown and raised here in St. Joe Fl. It’s close to San Antonio Fl. Keep shooting those mangos and the videos ok. Really would like to see you shoot some gags. I know there are plenty around those mangos as well. Just have to look for them of course. Why are you spending so much fuel to go out spear fishing in that 60’ of water when you can hit these 8 to 15’ of water to shoot these gags. I notice you shoot mostly blacks or carbos. Is there a reason for this? I know up here in HOMOSASSA and Bayport we find these gags in anywhere from 6’ to 20’. Much less fuel and just have to keep your numbers close to your heart for sure. Thanks again and how about showing us some shallow water gags on the Gulf side of course. Thanks again for everything. Love the way you do things man.
i'll be honest I wish I had enough time to read all of this, I try my best to keep up with every single comment but its becoming quite a tall task! can't thank you enough for watching and taking the time to share!
Hey there Aaron, thanks for the local video's in your back yard "Water Oasis". People now want to come with you and catch n' cook dinner in the Key's. I'd enjoy it, so many others must feel the same way. Keep having fun, that is what you are selling here!
haha glad you enjoy them! and im trying! thanks so much!
Another hit vid Aaron, as I stated before, you bring to people a some peace and relaxing time, showing at the same time how much fun one can have with so little if you are in the right place !! Blessings..
so glad you enjoy the videos! thanks so much!
My best friend, Nice video... Beautiful place Enjoy watching this video... Have a nice day.

That water looked amazing !!!

Just wanted to say how much me and my wife enjoy watching your videos! We cannot watch others because they do not bleed, brain and gut like you do!! My wife is like, “they do not know anything”! LOL Keep them coming! When we are down in Key West next time, we hope to meet you and Paddlin Madeline!
haha I love it! thanks so much for tuning in and taking the time to share! 🙏
The steady snapper fishing / spearing for dinner close to you're house is awesome!! Up here in Estero Bay we have alot of Mangroves but most of them are on the small side usually ,, Best snapper day I had was outgoing tide with tons of bait close to the mouth of New Pass ,,, Saw something blasting the bait on top and floated a bait through nailed a keeper snapper !! Ended up getting our 3 man limit of 15 nice keeper Mangroves !! That was best snapper day for me up here In Bonita Springs we definitely don't have the consistent big keeper inshore Mangroves like u in KW!! What a great food producing fishery 💯 for you !!!
Love to hear it! Thanks so much for watching!
Rock and roll on the gheenoe, Aaron! Looking forward to another episode of KWW!!!!
haha thanks so much!

27 years stuck on assembly line for GM. Wishing I had your job. You're one lucky guy. I hope you know it. In 3 years I shall be set free. I probably can't afford the keys but I'm coming down from Tennessee where my home will be South Florida probably on the West Coast. God bless 🇺🇸

welcome to the channel love to hear it! thanks so much for watching!
Another great video Sir. Then the grouper came along and made it twice as awesome.
haha thanks for watching!
I already feel relaxed watching the footage underwater. Love the boat too
love to hear it!
Best channel site for fish hunting compared to the rest. Good job respecting the oceans.
thanks for tuning in!
Thanks for bringing us along!
happy to!
After a long day of work this is the best
love to hear it!
Thank you for showing us that beautiful eco system down there in those mangroves. Awesome video
happy to! thanks so much for coming along!
You really have the best life bro. watching your videos makes me feel great having all that stuff you have, even though I know it is very expensive that small boat you have is like for me if I can achieve to build that which is really my goal. It is my best life ever. Live your life to the fullest bro! Congrats.
doing my best to enjoy my time here! didn't come easy but was worth every second!
I love this guy for sure. Just the way he does things man. You know the small boat he has they are abundant here in Fl. Most people use them here on the rivers. But make very good trout boats if your not taking but one other with you. Very easy in and out as well. Even for a big man like myself. I just love his little makeshift steel bowl as a grill right on top of the water. Pretty bad ass if you ask me. You have got to watch this one.
Enjoying life and love what you do,great video Aaron
Still love that even after fishing when you go to spear you welcome us back under water. Thank you for the adventure
happy to!
Showing that gheenoe love again! Another awesome video....keep up the good work brother. Fish on!
that thing never gets old! thanks for tuning in!
Love your videos. So glad BlueGabe & Kelly Young came to see you, so we could find you!!!

I always enjoy the underwater shots. Looking forward to seeing what you cook with these fish.

That little boat packs a punch lol that thing looks like a ton of fun !

Love the underwater footage, absolutely beautiful. When you say that you live in Paradise you aren't kidding. I am looking forward to the next video, thanks bro!
its my version of paradise! glad you enjoy it, thanks so much for watching!
Awesome video! Thanks again for bringing all of us along with ya on your adventures !
thanks so much for watching!
Brother that’s some nice fish. There was so much bait in there no wonder the area was full of fish. Good eating at your house tonight
thanks for watching!
My grandfather would take me out of Tavernier to catch the majua. He would deep fry them and add some salt. They were amazing!
Majua?
ive heard all about it! me and will were gonna try to do it!
Aaron, this video was so cool. It was exciting to watch that grouper chasing the snapper. Nice shot on the mangrove along with a reminder, keeps your hands away from their mouths. Stingray, starfish, grouper. This one had it all. Your vids are the best. Thanks again for letting us come along.
so happy you enjoyed it! and yea it got me! haha thanks for coming along!
Love Mondays at 6!!!!!!
haha thanks for coming!
Was fun to watch that grouper following you around like a puppy. Another great video...almost over Covid so thanks for the 'medicine' vids. Hope all is well with you and yours.
haha funny fish, thanks for tuning in!
Hey, Aaron 👋 Those mangroves are so cool! That is what I call an awesome day off🙌🏻 Enjoy 🐟 dinner 🍽
love them! thanks so much for watching as always!
Enjoyed it very much, Aaron! Thank you for including me; your videos make me feel like a curious child again, full of awe and wonder of God’s creation. At the tender young age of 71, that doesn’t happen often these days! ☺️
love to hear it! young in the mind! thanks so much for watching!
First time I've watched your videos. There is something cathartic about your understated and calm demeanor. Subscribing now. I need some calmity in my life!
welcome to the channel and love to hear it! thanks so much for watching!
Incredible catching mangrove snappers on bare hooks. Great post. Thanks for sharing!!
thanks for coming along!
Those cuts through the mangroves are magical !
They really are!
Ive had everythin over the years from rebuilt jon boats to my current 2022 24' center console but man your vids have me really wanting a smaller boat again! Been looking at Gheenoes to rebuild so I can justify it to the wife since we JUST bought a new boat lol. Im gonna blame you when I bring one home HAHAHAHAH Super stoked for you guys making that keys dream come true. The wife and I are working on it. Hoping to be down there in the next few years but like you said, we're not trust fund babies so its a struggle. Thanks for all the great content
haha its not my fault! and stick with it and you will get there! make sure to call my fiancé Madeleine when you do! thanks so much for tuning in!
@@KeyWestWaterman we’ll definitely reach out to her when the time comes!
Kutos on the great videos especially this one. Cool seeing the Galiath had no fear. I would love to come down, just getting into spear fishing, can't get enough of it...
thanks for watching!
Hello Fam hope all is well . Just chilling here in Kentucky . I've been binge watching your channel today . Would love to eat all those fish you spear they look so delicious . Stay Safe and God Bless Y'all .
Love to hear it! Thanks so much for tuning in!
I'm really watching your channel on the TV and my phone . I just really love Florida. Been there 4 times all over Florida sub contracting for different phone companies . Never been to Key West but my parents have . Be Safe and God Bless Y'all Thanks for replying . And Congratulations on your engagement .
The Mangrove is always welcome at my dinner table!!!! Great tasting and versatile.
haha right!
Thank you for sharing your amazing fishing journey with us and the world. Best regard,
thanks for tuning in!
Like it a lot, waterman. Can’t say I ain’t envious.
thanks for tuning in!
One of the many great. Concern is sizing the catched fishes keeping it more populative water inhabitants
thanks for watching!
Awesome video dude! living the life... that water was so nice! The best life 👌🏻
im trying!
absolutely love it. so peaceful….so fun. keep the content coming!
more on the way!
Love the clear water fishing like this! Do more videos like this please!
more on the way! thanks for tuning in!
Nice and mellow video! It was different but enjoyable. Hope that you had a good meal.
I always do! thanks for coming along!
Great video Aaron, found you're page several months ago been a subscriber every since. Guarantee this chanel will continue to grow.
thanks so much for tuning in!
Classic, thanks so much for taking us on your adventures, you are the real deal!!!
thanks for coming along!
Love the spearfishing clips. I'm going to Manitoba to snorkel spearfish walleyes in a wk; first time after two yrs off from covid .So stoked! Your hunting there is a lot like our freshwater hunting; fast action when it happens, with limited vis in green/ tan waters. Keep on making the most of it.
love to hear it! and shoot em up, hope you have a good time!
Wow, the fish life at 25:50 is amazing under the mangroves
really is! always a treat to snorkel the mangroves
Great shots Aaron! Glad you got that grouper and all those bait fish from underwater. I’m a rod and reel fisherman and appreciate the effort you made to catch those fish. Cruising through those narrow channels was well filmed and edited. Keep up the good work.
glad you enjoyed it! thanks so much for tuning in!
Hey Key West Watrrman you have a Good Life. Good Blessed You.
im tryin! thanks for watching!
Great video the color of the water was beautiful!!!
was a lovely day!
Love it. I got 3 Mangroves today too. Plus a blue runner and a yellow jack.
sounds like a good day to me!
@@KeyWestWaterman good day for both of us.
Gheenoe is the star of the show. Love that thing man.
I won't argue that!
Another great video thanks Aaron
thanks for watching!
Also question do ever film the People you take out fishing, or do you have to ask them if they want to be on you tube ? Just curious lol
that scenery!!!! Wow! Nice vid Aaron!
was a beautiful day!
Every time I watch one of your videos, it reminds me that I need to move back as soon as I get the chance. Love what your doing man it’d be a privilege to see you out on the water someday.
love to hear that! thanks so much!
Great video. We were in that same spot about 2 months ago. However, there was a very sketchy sailboat at the entrance. Is on the list for a return trip.
haha nothing new!
That was some idyllic fishing. I'm glad the water was clear, even if as you say it's not ideal for fishing. That Goliath in shallow water was awesome.
was a beautiful day! thanks for coming along!
Sweet episode.. nice little cuts.
My favorite kind..cheers.
thanks for tuning in!
LOOOOOL....Throws 10' net perfectly without effort!! Just another day in the Keys....🔥
lol, that was an accident, normally its a banana.
Love your vids man. You know, I'm from the south of Germany and haven't been in the ocean a lot of times, maybe like once a year when I'm on vacation. But ever since my dad told me about the time when he used to live in Gran Canaria a few decades back, living on fish and octopus that he shot himself with his harpoon this topic has been stuck in my head. So finding your channel has been one of the best things happening to me this year and I'm extremely thankful that you keep putting these out so constantly. They relax me while at the same time educating me and I wasn't able to find that in other, similar videos. So yeah, keep doing what you're doing and thanks again Aaron! :))
really love to hear that! thanks so much for the feedback. this is the kind of stuff that keeps me going!
Something to look forward to on a Monday! Cool vid.
thanks for coming along!
