    Am not even reading the negative comments. Spearfishing is one of the most sustainable way to catch fish because you catch 1 fish at a time, with permitted size and always fish that are big enough to have already reproduced. Be sure that you are a pretty ethic fisherman. Nice video, good visibility and great cobias.

      getting that reaction from a couple people, I understand not everyone likes everybody but there's no denying his channel is the standard for outdoor channels right now! at the end of the day the more exposure my channel gets the more of these videos I can make and the more I can give back to my subscribers which is my goal!

      @@KeyWestWaterman I think it’ll give you the wrong type of exposure. Rob is a fraud. If you’re from bumblefuck USA you probably believe half the crap he spews. You as someone who spends their life making a livelihood on the ocean is devalued by people like rob. What’s mean to be portrayed as reality through his channel is a farce. The guy behaves abusively to his wife and his skills as a fisherman are sub standard.

    Hey there Aaron. I am a native Floridian 42 years old. I would love to say that I am an avid outdoorsman unfortunately circumstances don’t allow me to be at the moment. But I do live vicariously through you guys which I greatly greatly appreciate. I have been watching outdoor shows my entire life. I have been diving with my father since the age of 9. God rest his soul. And I have been watching “Deer meat for dinner”for I would say going on about 4,5 years now. Less more lately I find myself leaning more towards “Bluegabe”His personality just seems to fit mine a little more. Which is actually the one thing everybody seems to have a problem with. But personally I think people just need to loosen up and get a sense of humor for the most part. Not to say anything negative about good old “Deer Meat” he’s still the OG as far as I’m concerned. Can’t take that away from him. Plus he’s just downright good people. Ya dig? But I mainlyjust wanted to say hi enjoy your show equally as much as both of theirs. In the same way that I get a certain thing from watching “deer meat for dinner”. I get from watching “Bluegabe” and urself. Don’t ask me what that thing is because I wish you would tell me so then we both would know. Sorry lol.but whatever it is I know it is filled with education, positivity,and motivation. and well as far as I’m concerned you are just downright good people. And I don’t know about you but I could never ever have enough goodness in my life. Just sayin. Oh and FYI I didn’t start watching your show because of “Bluegabe”I had already became a fan of yours independently of him it just so happened I was watching an episode of “Key west watermen”And up pops “Bluegabe”and “Kelly Young” Whitch tells me that I am on the right track and should confirm that for you as well. All three of you are amazing outdoorsman in your own right and of course there are other outdoor shows that I watch on TH-cam.but you guys I would say are definitely without a doubt my main staple. Pretty much 90% I would say. Another thing I’ve been wondering since before I even seen the episode with “Bluegabe”on your show is where the heck is the “Kelly Young”& “Madison”episode🤔 just saying. and I am positive I am not the only person wonderingthat I think they would get along great and there personality seems like they would mesh very well. But anyways sorry for the long comment just wanted to reassure you that you are headed in the right direction keep doing what you can do on your end and I’ll do what I can on my end as far as liking and sharing and commenting if I can. Keep on living your best life brother. God bless you. Have fun and be safe out there

I get it she loves nature, and so do I. But I had to tell her there were hundreds of them swimming everywhere. And there's limits and it's not something everyone can do. There's sharks there's days you don't see anything. By all the fish I saw it looks like the limits and all is working. Have a blessed day and thanks for the videos. I got a lot more to watch.

    I lived for many years on Cape Cod, which has a long history harvesting the sea's bounty.
    I worked at a seafood coop on the docks, in the wholesale department and in the retail store. Even had my own seafood store for a little over a year. Tough biz. Have done just a small amount of commercial fishing and shell fishing.
    I never thought about the sustainability of commercial spear fishing before and I think you’re right about it being the most sustainable form of fishing because the diver is down there seeing the fish and choosing them individually , which no other form of fishing does. Everything from hand lining, to long lining, trawling, Gil netting, etc has no control over what is caught. Often with trawling, etc many different types of fish are caught and always there are ones that are not desirable, which are thrown back usually dead.
    I’m not sure what people are objecting about your way of fishing. I assume they don’t have any idea of where their food comes from. Do a little research people. This guy is about as sustainable a fisherman as you’re going to find.

    The biggest problem I had with TH-cam was finding your channel. I was like "where's that blue collar guy in the Florida Keys who fishes and dives commercially by himself?"
    So glad I found you again.
    DMFD has nothing on you.
    This is the working man's channel.
    Subbed and liked it all
    Cheers.

    awesome channel. I live in Fl. I am one of the natives. I have never caught a Cobia. Someone else I was fishing with caught a 35 pounder following a sting ray. I have friends that would catch and release their tarpon tournament fish. On the back in through Tampa bay they would go from large marker to large marker to try to catch one. The sport utility fish Cobia.
