I like the way you keep it real, a refreshing change from the artificial hype of many US fishing/spearing channels
doing my best to do so! thanks so much for watching!
Literally my favorite video you’ve put out. Your a grinder, and some days chickens, some days feathers👍 I appreciate the unvarnished look at the reality of fishing for a living, just makes me want to go out again! Great day on the water, you’ll get em next time. Thx for the hard work👍
really happy to hear that! trying to share everything, the good and the bad without boring people to death! thanks so much!
@@KeyWestWaterman Spear fishing is Brutal, like harpoon fishing.
You made me feel better! I lost one by myself at the boat the other day estimated over 150lb. Been drilling myself ever since of what I should have done different. Nothing like being out there alone, love it. Great Vid!!
man that's a hard one to swallow I have been there brother!
I appreciate seeing the reality of your trips. Sometimes things go right, sometimes they don't and sometimes things are a little in the middle. Another great video. Thanks for taking us along!
trying my best to "keep it real" thanks so much for watching!
Had a lot of bad days of fishing, makes the great days even better though. Still a beautiful day you showed us. Thanks..
amen to that! its humbling and keeps me going back!
Ive been building a boat for over a year...motors have been on backorder but these videos have been keeping me sane. Hope to be out there is a month of two...
yea its but tough on all of us, I ordered my next set last sept and still no word.
@@KeyWestWaterman next set? You just put those 200s on....
Drop that bait back and feed that swordfish, either open up spool or pull forward for 10-15 seconds. Set that hook by backing up and using 25lbs of drag for 15-20 seconds. Get all the scope out. Great video and the bite looks amazing
I tried it all this day!
Love it as always! Those solo days on the water are indeed priceless...
amen! thank so much for watching!
Getting addicted too watching this lol on my free time always watching this and deadliest catch
Haha glad you enjoy it!
That is fishing captain! You keep your videos clean and real and that is why make the fish slaughter unique! Keep up the good work!
will do thank you sir!
I enjoyed this episode. Surprisingly, the episodes with no fish landed are just as enjoyable. I've been chasing steelhead for the last few years and it's a lot like that. Right now I'm at about 80 hours of fishing over 60 outings to the river over the course of a whole year and no Steelhead landed.
like to share reality from time to time! and its the truth sometimes its hard! my longest streak without a sword is 8 trips in a row.
Lordie! They were chomping!
That's fishing though. Lots of fun to follow along, as always. Thanks!
they sure were! hope to get back out after them soon! thanks for watching!
Great video that was so cool the first fish swimming under boat. I agree before marriage I use to love going out by myself and unplug and that’s why they call it fishing not catching.
it was awesome! I've released countless swords and never had one hangout like this!
"Time seems to fly by in TH-cam world"- Great way to put it...That is so true. Thanks for keeping it real!
haha doing my best to do so!
super cool underwater shot
I thought so! thanks for watching!
First swordfish was so cool! I'm at the point in this video of your 2nd bait line. The morning time seems like the right time to binge watch Key West Waterman! Great watching you enjoy you in your element!
haha knocking them down! really appreciate the views!
@@KeyWestWaterman I'm just getting to that part with one band. Fun to watch. Nice commentary too. You actually sound underwater! Lol
Excellent! That’s fishing……I appreciate the realistic look into your fishing adventures.
just trying to be real! thanks so much for watching!
I hate losing gear hanging bottom, I feel your pain. Had a wahoo bite my rig off on the drop the other day, lost 150m of braid and weight and rig, twas not a happy camper! Glad you enjoyed your day, and thanks for sharing it with us, I enjoy your good attitude about it all!
man it never feels good but we gotta rig back up and give it another go! thanks so much for watching!
@@KeyWestWaterman thanks for proving that old skanky baits still get eaten, which is reassuring as that’s all I fish with most of the time, and have found most of the deep dwellers are not fussy. You were at it all day, but did you notice any increase in bites around the major/minor bite times for the day?
@@adammcgeorge3538 honestly i didn’t actually. I think the longest i went without a bite was an hour and a half maybe? Which is pretty consistent all day in my opinion
@@KeyWestWaterman when that first little guy came off and cruised around the boat, you should have pitched him a few free live baits, and then a live bait on a spinner, that would be some fun and awesome footage ;)
Real life fishing at its best.. good video
thanks for watching!
Wow, great bite. Any client would love a day like that.
I wish they were all like that! just couldn't get one to stick!
Looks like Ribeye Steak and baked potato for dinner.
Still a great day behind sunglasses!
Haha right!
Love the reality of fishing - even for an experienced pro. You are for real!
like to share all the days if I can! thanks so much for watching!
Why am I stuck on binging your channel 😂 keep this up homie!!!!
haha love to hear that!
Love the unsuccessful missions too. Thanks for the videos!!!
like to share them from time to time! I do appreciate it!
Great video. Awesome 👏
thanks for watching!
Looks like an awesome day to me. Good job Aaron 👏 👍 👌
indeed it was no complaints!
No idea why, but I was expecting a Charlie and the Chocolate factory break out song when you said come along with me. As always thanks for the great video. They were chewing that day. I always rather have the excitement of the action vs floating with nothing going on. GL out there on the next drift.
hahaha love it! and amen to that I've had much worse days out there indeed!
this is just awesome bro...this is what real fisherman's go through...yeaaah!!!1
Haha thanks for watching!!!
The underwater footage was so cool wow.... quality is amazing. Keep it up KWW
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tips on what you're looking for on the bite. Most of my videos are by myself. There's nothing better than a day offshore by yourself.
I’m Not gonna argue that!
I live on Summerland Key and fish the same area for swords, keep up the great videos and if see a guy eyeing you with binoculars its just me trying to learn some new skills
haha love it! thanks for watching brother!
Really enjoyed the live commentary as it happens. Keep doing what you're doing, Aaron. Fishing alone isn't a problem for me either. As long as I have a line in the water, I'm happy. Just like you. Keep em coming.
happy to hear it! and its one of my favorite things to do without a doubt! thanks so much for watching!
Hi Marge, "as long as I can put a line in the water".... well, remember it's a pretty expensive sport!
Even a handline from the dock can be expensive, first you have licence costs, line, hooks, sinkers, bait etc.
Luckily here in Australia if you are a pensioner like me, your pension card is a "free fishing" card.
I love every chance I get to going out fishing with my brother, he works with Northbridge Marina in Sydney Harbour and has 3 boats, and the game fisher has been in the family for 15yrs.
Happy fishing and tight lines!
I do use the freshest bait possible, I think it does a difference when it comes to catching the big swordfish.
I've landed several big ones on pretty gnarly bait, but who knows. 50% of being a fisherman is speculation! 😂
Awesome Aaron! Too bad you didn't get one in the boat, next time for sure.
ill be back!
Aaron this is the particulars that make your videos different from others you show the real side of fishing and not just catch n ! Thx for that and keep it up! Cool sword hung out around boat kinda of rare I suppose. Take care.
doing my best to keep it real! and I thought it was pretty cool! the first time I've had one do that!
I realized the constant Forward Motion keeps tension on them but it seems to also line the bill up with the line . They start swinging a lot at the surface seems like they're more likely to break off or cut the line . Just an observation . I understand why you want to keep tension on them especially while you're fishing by yourself .
That’s why we use 300# extra hard mono. I’ve never had a sword cut the line.
I learned that you can HOOK a sword on "old crusty bait" but you can LAND a sword on "fresh crisp bait"😂😂😂😂😂
Still never caught a swordfish myself, but one day... keep up the great videos, Aaron!!!
its alot of fun!
Excellent shot!!! Super cool alright! 😎 Today is my birthday 🎂 59 today! (Who knew?) That money shot first fish! Best birthday present ever! Thank you! 😊
"The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is just that little extra."
happy birthday and glad you enjoyed it! thanks so much for watching!
Good job great attitude fun to watch!😃 the other day we fished one good drift one tangled drift and 3rd drift long drift about ready to pull up and got hooked on bottom lost every thing.😥 still had a great time!
"Come on, baby. Show me some....oop! Right there. Big ole thump."
I'm replaying and replaying and don't see shet!
Lol
If that's a big ole thump, I'd definitely NEVER EVER notice a light tap. Lol
hahaha! it takes a trained eye to notice the difference. its really hard to tell on a camera!
Well done. Excellent footage on the swordy.
thanks for watching!
wow amazing how the bottom half disappears with the countershading 8:10! and 8:03 how thickly muscled it is all the way to the tail
impressive creatures they are!
Great video Aaron! Keep up the awesome content
thanks so much for watching!
Great video guys. Keep it up
thank you !
Doing this by yourself? Great job catchin, drivin AND filming
I like the challenge!
Thanks for sharing your efforts Aaron, greetings from Taiwan
thanks so much for watching!
I'll be honest, I'm freaking jealous. I wish my my job was on the blue. Keep em coming, I enjoy your experiences
Im not gonna lie its pretty awesome!
That is so awesome for you to get that video man that’s cool
Outstanding channel sir! Thank you.
thanks so much! glad you enjoy it!
Great video.
thanks for watching!
Dude your the best!
just trying to enjoy my life! thanks so much for watching!
Wow Aaron, I am feeling you, that's Sword fishing. I have done same thing one day and next day land 2. I use a 50 lb break away clip on my weight and avoids losing the leader. Great video still by the way, thanks for sharing. 🎣🎏🚤💪
that's what keeps me coming back! and it actually wasn't my weight that got stuck it was the hook somehow. kinda perplexed on that one because of how far off the bottom I was. thanks so much for watching!
Awesome content!! Keep the camera rolling, great as always Aaron, keep em coming!
thanks so much!
Those eyes looking at you on your phone! 😆
haha right!
Exactly I wanted to go fishing-great video.
thank you!
Still better than a "good" day at a 9 to 5 🤙🏽
amen!
Keeping it real! Sundays are zeros
Some days not Sundays
trying to! thanks for watching!
Aaron , cool stuff !!! Your video's are awesome !!!
glad you enjoy them! thanks for watching!
You said, if a charter cancels, go anyway! Something cool is gonna happen. I'd say underwater sword video and boat circling is pretty cool....
I know it's an old video. But I just heard about you, and now, as of 2 weeks ago, I am a new subscriber... I am viewing older videos and have not been disappointed.... you are a cool, chill soul with a humble spirit. You have impressed this WPB, FL born older viewer.
haha always still go! really appreciate the kind words! doing my best to just enjoy life and my time here!
Thats crazy you do this alone.
It’s a ton of fun!
Patience is key🔥
amen!
I got a brand new Esky custom sword rod like yours, just waiting on a good weather day to get out and get tight!
I just ordered another! you'll love it!
Sorry you drew blanks, Aaron but this was another hugely entertaining video. Love the angles and commentary.too. Those hooks will stay in next time. 🤞🏼
I hope so! thank so much for watching!
Hi bro! I have watched all of the videos many times I think. Swordfish is pretty tough solo. I know you have a lot of experience and are probably tougher than wood pecker lips. Just wanted to say be careful solo man. Keep them coming! Be safe!!
always am! really appreciate you tuning in!
I like fishing by myself too lots of Wahoo!😃
Well captain I guess that's why they call it fishing you never know.
amen!
Is there some reason that you don't use circle hooks in your deep-drop baits? I can't help but wondering if a circle hook mignt have pulled out less frequently/easily.
I do on deep drop species, not on swords, they have extremely soft mouths. so we try to get the to swallow the hook
Do you have a recommendation on a sail your own cat rental in KW? I didn't have a great experience last time I did it in June. Lots wrong with the boat - rigging all knotted up and systems not working, etc. Part of our trip will hopefully be a spearfishing charter with you.
I honestly don’t. That’s one area I’m not familiar with unfortunately. But would be happy to have y’all out!
there's probably something to old freezer burned baits. think what happens when you defrost frozen fruit. the freezing process breaks a bunch of cells and makes them ooze. You'd think the same thing would happen with fish. more oils and smells coming out that let the fish find it easier and from further distances.
Some days you get the bear and some days the bear gets you. I love to fish by myself too, the old man and the sea, at least in my case.
amen! thanks so much for watching!
Lol I'll bet when the camera goes off there is a flurry of cuss words and maybe some throwing of gear. No fisherman is this laid back after loosing three fish. Either way I like the fact you keep it real and not everyday is a win.
lol you'd be surprised. been fishing long enough to know I can't win them all! thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed the vid!
Man ive watching you from Canada n since i watch your videos its like a drug Man . Im trying to look all of them Cauz you keepin it Real you show bad days good days the real lifr of it . Keep it up know i wanna try divr fishing haha
I do my best to keep it reel! thanks so much for watching!
You are A 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐💯💯💯 you deserve the M$ views !!!
Still fun to watch!
happy to hear it!
That was still awesome
Love the videos man and how you talk through them
Man I gotta got out and do some warm water blue water dives for wahoo
Its cool I watched you shoot all those wahoo it looked like you never had y to o dive deeper than 10-20ft just hover just below the surface. Wahoo look like the most fun
Out on Catalina the yellowtail were the most fun to.shoot. Pacific yellowtail are very similar to the warm water Amberjack. Amberjack get a bit bigger and prob a bit tougher but man it’s some bad ass fish
Glad you enjoy em! And yea all depends some days they are shallow normally no deeper than 30-40 ft.
Great day of fishing awesome conditions and plenty of action. I have no problem with not catching fish the way I look at its only fair considering that some may not follow the rules, it just gives them an extra chance. I'm sure that the sword fish will be coming soon they are good eating. Oh and awesome footage of that sword fish hanging around.. Cheers
I agree with that! and ill be back out, been craving sword every since! thanks for watching!
And this is why I don’t have cable. Keep up the awesome vids! Nothing staged here!
Haha love it! Thanks for watching!
Yewwww stoked made my day !!!
thanks for watching!
Very informative despite the disclaimer
haha happy to hear it!
There's a world of info during this segment regardless of the outcome.....It's my kind of classroom Xperience!!
haha happy to hear it!
I hope one day I can go sword fishing
its alot of fun!... kinda
Every day is ur day
haha!
Do you get compensated at all when a charter cancels? What reasons do they supply for canceling?
depends on the situation, but normally keep the deposit which is $200
I love fishing by myself, if someone doesn't share the passion, it's almost a chore fishing with them. I've taken so many people fishing and regretted it as soon as we're out on the water. My best times are by my onsie.
couldn't agree with that more!
Fish by myself all the time, very enjoyable and relaxing for sure. Installed an MOB device for extra safety
Next time you will get one,great video though,how can anyone not love fishing
I will be back for sure!
@@KeyWestWaterman you definitely have too,I gotta see a catch and cook
Dude you got me nervous on the solo trips, have you ever looked at the little fanny pack inflatables or wireless kill switches? Sorry for being a Karen , lost a captain I used to work for falling off his boat while in gear. Just had to comment ! Love the videos.
I do appreciate it! I’m beyond careful out there. Really do appreciate you watching and taking the time to share!
I’ve never been deep sea fishing and would love to go
It’s a lot of fun if the bite is good!
sweet vid
glad you liked it!
Maybe use a smaller hook? To get the fish to swallow it better? I don't know, I'm pulling at straws here 😄
Great content! Keep it real 💯
just all depends on the fish, the small fish always seem to play with it a lot and never completely eat it making bad hook placements. all luck honestly in my opinion lol
that little one just wanted to be on Utube. you need a come-a-long or a small block and tackle to help you load fish when alone. if you know of any really old houses? look for the old window sash's those make good weights I just don't know if they are heavy enough for what you need. stay safe thanks for the mini vacation
haha right! and I used to have one but lost. and I had a bunch of them as well but over the years enough snags and im back to lead! thanks so much for watching and do appreciate the feedback!
What size line do you have on that power reel?
Great job, great videos, great attitude. Keep up the good work 🤙
main line is 65 lb braid, leader is 300 lb mono
Thanks for watching!
@Key West Waterman great idea to try and make your bait struggle against the weighted jig head. I'm going to remember that trick
If I lived there you would never have to go by yourself.stay safe
haha
Another great video. What is your preferred drag#
Hey bro u a cool dude
haha thanks for watching!
Can't believe he came right to the boat after pulling the hook. insane
haha right!
Any tips on how NOT to get sea sick? Im from the mountains of east tennessee
Dramamine or ginger chews is only thing I hear. I've never had an issue with it so never had to trouble shoot it.
What about adding an extra hook towards the end of the bait? I sure hate to see them go
Lol
I've though about tryin it but odds are it may cause a tangle with the bait being so long. but who knows maybe ill give it a shot
I don't know why I don't get notification on your Channel that little bell it's on I don't know why it's it's on
I have no idea!
What transducer are you using?
airman b260
How can they shake off the hook, excuse my ignorance.
just like any other fish, not hooked that great. head shakes. and swords have extremely soft mouths. you can pull a hook right through them.
