How long are you holding your breath for?
We got Google for the income breakdown here for the experience and excitement you bring love you're style of video and breakdown you are a Good dude keep it up brother cheers 🍻
Insane day man! Wahoo whisperer
Whats up Aaron, here’s an idea for your next video, you should do a gear breakdown / video statistic reveal where you get the analytics on your channel and see the follower and engagement activity as well as profit from youtube for the videos hope it helps give you an idea for some more informative videos !
@@JeffBermanRealtor average dives are only 1:15 - 1:30 but usually less wahoo spearing
The best spearfishing channel on TH-cam hands down!! You keep it real and your videos are awesome, some of the best underwater footage on the tube!! One of my bucket list items is to go out on a charter with you. Keep the breakdown part of the commercial dive, it shows that what you do is not just for the money as some may think. You love what you do and it shows!
really appreciate that brother! I really love what I do. just happy to share it with others that enjoy it! thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
You forgot aquatic apes huh?
i absolutely love this- super early morning diving- the light and atmospherics are incredible. seems dangerous but maybe only in certain circumstances
a day I will not soon forget! thanks for tuning in
Manage expectations, manage expectations, manage expectations… DESTROY expectations!!! 🤣
I’m seriously stoked for you to have a day like this. Thanks for taking us along and for sharing the breakdown. I’d be interested in the TH-cam breakdowns too. Maybe it is nosy but the truth is we want it to go well for you and it’s fun to be part of your channel growing!
haha but seriously! that never happens. absolutely understand that! thanks so much for taking the time to share!
STONED !!! How many Wahoo can one man stone in a single day ! Great video man, this one should be a killer video for ya, you deserve it, STILL love your stuff Aaron.
haha sometimes I get lucky! thanks so much for watching!
There's nothing wrong with stoned 🤣
I have been on 2 long range trip 10 ten days each. I have never seen that many Wahoo in my life. I have only seen 5 wahoo caught on the boat. Congratulations on catching that many Wahoo. Best eating fish in ocean.
its probably the most I've ever seen in a single day, we've had some really good days seeing hundreds. but I think they may top them all! just lucky to be there!
Would love to hear about the TH-cam analytics. I find it very interesting to see the financial side of things weather it be commercial breakdowns or the TH-cam breakdown.
A good video idea could be building another speargun like the banana gun.
Keep up the great videos and make sure you spend one of these windy days relaxing you deserve it !
thanks for the feedback! and I considered it just a lot of extra work! maybe when the banana gun retires!
Wow...just wow! I can't imagine being around that many Hoo's... unbelievable! What an awesome adventure, thanks for letting take the ride with you, you're really making me jealous!!!
glad you enjoyed it!
Hey man! I know this might not be my position to talk but i really wish youd never change, no clickbait and catchy titles... just keep being genuine and transparent. Thats why your my favorite youtuber ❤️
I have no plans to! really do appreciate the feedback! makes me want to keep it real. I know a lot of people see the dollar signs and start to reach for views. but I have no desire to do so!
@@KeyWestWaterman yesss, ur already catching alot of traction being real so no need to switch up on us!
I don’t even watch fishing normally and just watched like 4 of your videos and now I wanna start spear fishing it looks really fun nice work love the vids keep it up much love
its a not of fun but not as easy as it looks from what I hear!
Love your vids & your breakdowns, but mainly the respect you show for the fish you get & the sport itself. Wishing you more days like this & would love to go out with you sometime when I can make it down there.
really do appreciate that! really enjoy what I do and wouldn't change it for the world!
That looked like a ton of fun......Hey....on non-boat days, I vote for more cooking vids....I just really like the way you role. That is a long stretch 14 days.....even if it is something you love, it still is a really long stretch.
I do appreciate the feedback! and yes I can definitely feel it at the end!
Definitely a good day cash wise, but let’s not forget the invest of the boat, dive gear, etc. You definitely need to be diving to recoup all the business investment, and all that is associated with the running of the business, maintenance, expenses, slip, but you are out there enjoying, which is the underlying push for doing what your doing and love. Keep at it, and be safe💯🤙🏻
Yup! Hit the nail on the head. Thanks so much for watching!
Saw you on BlueGabe and you said this is your favorite video! That had to be a hoot and a half!!
Haha it was! Thanks for watching!
I can’t wait to experience this type of action 😬 This video, the action, the vibes. Just all around perfect timing. Keep it up man!!! 🤙🏾
its really amazing!
I subscribed to your channel a few months ago seeing you on BlueGabe's channel and sure glad I did! I love your videos!
thats awesome! gabes the man! thanks for tuning in!
Dude, you’ve got the right idea on life! I have the utmost respect for you! Thanks for your great content, amazing professionalism and respect for the fishery!
can't thank you enough for that! seriously do appreciate it! just trying to enjoy life as it comes at me!
By far the most epic wahoo spearfishing video I’ve ever watched!! That’s my idea of paradise and the best job I could ever think of. Good work guys!! Freakin awesome, just down right badass!!!
A day i won’t ever forget!!!
I love the patience on display with some of those shots. I know just how hard it is when the adrenaline is high, but all those spine shots are cool takes all the fight out of em. I always found it super hard to shoot with a flashlight, it's like your brain is trying to aim two different things at the same time and it does not compute.
try to get the shots that damage the least amount of meat when I can! and yea that was a tough one with the big gun!
Nice stone shots. As is true in big game hunting snd big gamefish spearing, taking that extra second and getting the shot right results in far less energy, less wounding, and time retrieving it. Good job!!!!
amen! thanks so much for watching!
WOW!!! What an awesome vid Aron. Love to see the wahoo showing up in big numbers like they are. Still al little slow here in Jacksonville but is getting better. Just out of curiosity, it would be cool to see a profit break down on your vids/channel. I also love the idea of making a supergun rig video for both your bottom and blue water rigs. I made a makeshift rig and isn't the greatest so I would like to get an idea on what and how you use your gun and rig. The Bluegabe and kelly collab was also very cool and entertaining. Keep up the aswome content.
really do appreciate the feedback and man did they show up! but disappeared just as fast! I will add that to the list thanks so much for taking the time to share and watch!
Your videos are awesome thanks I can't wait to see the next video.
glad you enjoy them!
Really appreciate that you share any information with your viewers, and that you explain catch limits and costs.
happy to! thanks for watching!
Hi watch man how are you all doing I really enjoy ur videos I impress by u as a person u seem to have good ethical standards and desceny and honesty with a good attitude ! Keep it up .I love the ocean diving and spear fishing so I really enjoy watching ur videos, I am from the nature island of the Caribbean, Dominica 🇩🇲 not the Dominican Republic I must add
glad you enjoy the videos, thanks so much for tuning in!
Love your videos. So happy you're making a living doing what you love. Your profit from fishing is great to hear. Your TH-cam money is your money. No need to share that. Loved hearing Kelly and Blue Gabe singing your praises. Hope it brings you subscribers. You are the real deal.
couldn't be happier and thanks for the honest feedback! really had a blast with them such nice people!
It's already brought him one subscriber at least. I heard about him through Kelly Young channel.
What a stellar day, Aaron!!! Strong work and keep up the awesome videos!!! I need to hit you up when I get back down to the Lowers to go fishing with you sometime.
happy to have you out and glad you like the vids!
Wow man, I’m 44 been diving since 12 and shooting since 15 and NEVER seen anything like that. Thanks for keeping our heads in the blue water, respect.
it doesn't happen often but is incredible to see every time! thanks for watching!
The shot on that second fish was A classic!!!
Third shot was legendary 🙌 👌
haha glad you enjoyed it!
This was an awesome video! Love the channel, discovered it a couple of months ago, been binging when I can. Have you ever gone over how you find the wahoo? Do you have spots, then mark fish and drop the flashers and get in the water? Also, how many of those throw flashers have you lost to the depths? I like the transparency and would find a youtube earnings breakdown cool. So cool to see this channel grow and get more successful, you are a class act.
and I have not, it's not something i'm comfortable covering in depth. but we have areas that hold them more than others. and honestly maybe a couple I normally can always retrieve them! thanks so much for the feedback and do appreciate you watching!
@@KeyWestWaterman Fair enough! Keep up the great work, and maybe get some rest!
Awesome vid! That’s a trip to remember!
indeed it was!
Oh my god man... What a day brother ... amazing to see all those fish, insane. Great video and great fishing
truly was a day I won't forget!
That was amazing,and super fun to watch,the money you make on TH-cam or fishing is your business,as far as I’m concerned,I just enjoy the fishing,also I saw you fishing with bluegabe,which was really cool,hope to see y’all fish together again one day
thanks for the feedback! thanks so much for watching!
@@KeyWestWaterman sure thing
Would love to see some gear/rig/speargun breakdowns next week when you are unable to charter. Stuff like that is huge for new guys such as myself I think! Trying to emulate the pros!
putting it on the list! I do appreciate it!
Another outstanding video. Again, I like the honesty about the process and about the markets. One more observation: Appreciate the lack of accompanying music. I'd rather hear the waves splashing, you guys hollering and talking, explaining the nitty gritty, or just the silence. Godspeed.
appreciate all feedback!
Wow what an insane day! We never see anything close to this number of wahoo up here in Miami. Glad to see your channel growing so quickly. Soon you'll be at Bluegabe's level and I hope you'll be able to spend more time doing videos like that too. Keep it up brotha!
they pass by there without a doubt! migrating down. and man I hope to be someday would be a dream to do this full time!
Aaron, I give you major props for fishing in dark waters. There is absolutely no way I could ever do that! Keep up the great work!
Also, yes, that would be cool to know a round about number of profit you make on your TH-cam videos.
haha been trying to shoot one at night for quite some time! that was the closest I've been!
Wow! What a Cracking day, what amazing fish, can’t wait to look through your other vids, new subscriber, Drew😎
welcome! and glad you enjoy the channel! thanks so much for tuning in!
Nice job great footage I wish to get a chance at shooting a hoo some day on the top of my shooting bucket list.
Keep up the great work cap.
💪🏼🤙🏼
thank you sir! and gotta get out there and float!
So epic. Catching them on lures while you guys spear them… insane.
haha sometimes they are thick!
I’d like to see you rig gear. Reels,line to float, flashers and throw sticks, etc.
I’ve talked about it here and there! Will give over it in more detail!
Another great spearfishing video. U guys seem to have the lungs of an octopus. Couldn't imagine holding my breath as long as u do!!!!
glad you liked it! and just lots and lots of time in the water!
And now I see why you had the guests come down and video. Lots of who. I still haven't hook on yet in my 5 years up in Pensacola but I can't go out far in my 19 footer.
haha it was wild! and it'll happen just stick with it!
Yes! We would love to see the breakdown on the profit of the TH-cam videos! We watch your videos every Monday. We farm and commercial shrimp for a living. We are interested in starting a channel of our own!! Would love to get some insight on it for sure! We enjoy all of the videos!
….”Later” 😜😎
really do appreciate the feedback! its not much but I'd be happy to share! thanks so much for watching and its worth a shot! Never know!
Hey Aaron, maybe when the weather rolls in next week you can do a video on your top three picks for beginner speargun choices. As well as maybe a tutorial on a speargun naming the parts and what their function is. Keep it up man I love your channel. Thanks
I will add it to the list! thanks so much !
Was that you on Bluegabes channel? Keep the videos coming man! Love your channel
yup! more on the way thanks so much!
I hope you're making a ton of money with TH-cam. We are not allowed to use spear guns in The Bahamas. Changes the whole dynamic. I'm too old now but I love watching your channel and respect your skill. I also empathize with your respect for the fish; not taking questionable shots. Harder with a Hawaiin Sling but we had our methods for loading up. Blue water spear fishing; just out of the question. If I was 30 years younger I might just have given you a call to get my hands on one of those weapons.
hardly but its been a lot of fun! and I'm familiar! I do enjoy getting back to primitive hunting, have a lot of respect for it!
Awesome session, still yet too shoot one myself, defiantly keen on seeing how TH-cam is going for you!
dont give up! and I do appreciate the feedback!
im your new subscriber..my heart beating fast when see you shoot that fish..great job man..love it
welcome to the channel and happy to hear it! haha thanks for watching!
Epic video, your skills behind the gun are inspiring, I'm so glad I found your channel, I tell all my spearfishing buddies here in Sarasota about you. Stay safe my friend.
really appreciate it and glad you found it too! sharing helps more than you know can't thank you enough!
@@KeyWestWaterman 👍 carpe diem!!!!!
Spectacular video Aaron, Epic spearfishing technics and catches. CONGRATS AND THANNKS FOR SHARING. I would like to know about you tube monies if you don't mind, just curious. GOD BLESS YOU AND VIEWERS THESE HOLIDAYS
Thanks so much for watching!
Nice head shot helping ur friend. Saw that. Headshots kill them easy. Guess I'm going to talk to us to my wild spot my license tells me 550 pounds a day but there's King fish too. Congratulations guys great job. Another great video.
guess it all depends on where you are! our kingfish and wahoo permits here are separate! thanks so much for watching brother!
@@KeyWestWaterman yes 1440 per day on kings n it might be 500 wahoo. But we don't catch stuff in a while and sell them I can't wait till January 1st grouper opens for us only 4 months so that's 4 months of straight hard work but it pays off.
Amazing vid and thanks for sharing
thanks for watching!
Hell yeah dude ! Awesome day. Definitely interested in a TH-cam break down 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I do appreciate it brother!
having a blast watching your videos dude!
glad you enjoy them! thanks so much for watching!
Yea I’d like to see the TH-cam break downs more curious
thanks for the feedback!
Gnarly Beard Booger! That's a keeper.😂
lol
Quality videos and honest info. Always curious, where are the sharks? If you could go over the slip tip type of mechanism would be great. Back in the days we didn't know about this things. I don't spearfish any more, but did it for many years in the coasts of Venezuela. Happy holidays.
they are around, problem for them this day was there were way too many boats to focus on. so we didn't see many. and I will add that to the list! thanks for the feedback!
BOOM!! Get 'er done Aaron! Great stuff brotha.
glad you enjoyed it thank you!
I didn't notice any landlords coming by to collect rent either 👍
It's a good day 😉 Viva Cristo Rey 🙏
haha amen!
Really awesome guys!
thanks for watching!
Hey man awesome video! Quick question, what is that small cylinder that you keep throwing around in the water? Does that attract fish?
yea kinda, just creates curiosity its just pvc and mirror stickers
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing and stay safe... also, what is it that you throw into the water that draws then in..
Happy to hear it! And we call it a throw flasher. Pretty much anything shiny to get their attention.
How about a video of you and your Lady cruising around Key West like locals do seeing some of the places you frequent day to day. No boat, No diving/fishing.......Chill and conch-ish........
have had a couple other request for that so maybe we will make it happen!
I'll give you that
Thanks for watching!
Great video, I had my own commercial Salmon boat on the west coast, whole different fisheries, Q..... What is and purpose of that white stick you pick up and throw? I Just cannot figure it out.......thanks for the video
whole different world! and its to get the fish to pause, or turn or get its attention lol. anything to get a closer shot!
Zoinks Shaggy! What a haul.
haha!
Hard work, well done.
Thank you!
Yes.
thanks for watching!
Honest question with no BS behind it. Also as somebody who has only fish in the ocean once or twice but is an avid lake angler. Is it ethical to take that many fish of that size even if it is commercial?
I think it is, on a small scale being selective like this I don't see anything wrong with it. would never do it if the population wasn't thriving. we see literally thousands and thousands of these during the winter months. and that is just the fish that happen to swim by, its a big ocean. but you also have to realize a day this good comes once every few years, this isn't every day.
Best spearfishing vídeo i ve seen in a while
happy to hear it!
I love fishing and spearing, but wonder if it would make it less exciting / enjoyable to do it for a living. Not that I'm going to quit my day job😂 Loved seeing you on Blue Gabe and Kelly's channels. They kept on referring to you as "Dibs" was that just for TH-cam, or did you prefer that to Aaron?
it most certainly has not for me! and yes I had a blast with them! and I don't prefer one over there other, a lot of people in key west call me dibs! a lot call me Aaron!
Nice shooting! If you don't mind me asking would you say most of the Wahoo action is usually over by 7:30 or 8? Is that about 10 in of 3/4 schedule 40?
Just depends on the day sometime see them all day. And yes
@@KeyWestWaterman thanks for the reply!
Love your videos and, as someone has already said, love the respect you show for the fish. As someone new to spearfishing a fish ID video would be great - what to shoot and what not to; male of this species, female of that one, sizes etc. THANKS. Mike.
really do appreciate that! and I am saving footage for a video like that hope to have it up soon!
@@KeyWestWaterman Thanks 🙏🏼
I’m definitely interested in getting into the whole making spear fishing content, so yes curious on how much can be made, although I don’t have a boat or truck I do have a lot spear fishing equipment, wetsuits, long fins ,masks and pole spears and a spear gun and weights etc. any advice,..
content is easy, just start making videos and put them out there, if you mean commercially. Starting from scratch is almost impossible, extremely difficult at the very least. it was 4 years before I started to actually get into the green with my charter/commercial business.
Yeah I like to see you getting a lot of fish did the old man the old Fork it was nice to see you with Kelly young and blue gay hahaha
haha it was a good day!
Another awesome day on the water. 14 days fishing in a row, you need a break. lol Your fish your money, you worked hard for them, IMO, only share what you want to. Another great video.
haha I did not gonna lie! and I do appreciate the feedback!
Also, breathing techniques. How to condition to hold breath longer.
i'm not an "instructor" so don't like going too in-depth on that kind of stuff. self taught born and raised on the water so it kinda came natural!
Seems like it's easier to spear while holding an is to catch them on the rod and reels and I'm going to tell you something else 90% at least maybe more of all the fish you shoot at you hit them usually the ones you miss you say it you shouldn't have took the shot but you did but other than that Mr waterman you are the real deal
Haha thanks for watching!
For a video suggestion. Would you consider doing a tour of the area you live in Maybe show some local hangouts hotels and rentals that are available in the area. Show where your fish markets at local restaurants you like to visit. Nothing too specific we don't need your house address. But if I take a vacation to the keys what are some things I can do on A-day when there's 30 knot winds.
I will add it to the list! thanks so much for watching!
@@KeyWestWaterman Thank you for doing videos It allows me to experience something I likely would not be able to experience otherwise.
Just awsome!
glad you liked it!
New to the channel...Thanks awesome
Welcome! Thanks so much for watching!
And you'll be going out 15 days in a row chasing those wahoo!
haha!
@@KeyWestWaterman
We have to run about 60 miles to find those in Palm Harbor so I've never shot one of them. Great tasting fish!
This was the most insane video I have ever seen man..Great video
I day i will NEVER forget!
I would like to hear more about revenue being generated for you from your vids.
will try to include it again!
i couldn't man the sharks haha
lol they aren't so bad once you get used to them!
Wow! What a classy man! I mean it; I’m not the type to flatter; I just believe in complimenting great things when I see them. At 64 years old, I’ve seen greed, evil, foolishness and stupidity that surfaces when opportunity to make money comes to the fore. In this video, you showed discretion in this situation depicted in this video with regard to safety by quitting the harvest when you recognized your fatigue. You showed concern for the market to which you sell your catch by only bringing the fish properly iced. You didn’t expose their prices for possible competitive exploration. Further, you’ve shown wisdom in so many other videos too. You are probably one of the most qualified TH-camrs to actually instruct in your type of work. You impress me with every video I see!
I am interested in your TH-cam aspects of your videos, as I’m thinking of beginning some for my collegiate and ministry efforts, and I’d love to hear what are the best practices; where are the hurdles and any insights you can share. Honestly, my biggest regret in life is not having more men like yourself in my life as friends. I’d honestly love to drive from where I live near Gainesville, Florida to Key West to buy you a huge dinner just to meet you.
I know you don’t know me, and all kinds of crazy happens on the internet. I’m not hitting on you, or looking for anything from you. I try to live a life of honor, respect and righteousness. When I see these things, I try to acknowledge them favorably, because I’ve conducted too many funerals for great people for whom neither I nor others acknowledged their wonderful qualities. Thank you for all you do and especially for the classy way in which you do things!
really can't thank you enough for the kind words! I really do appreciate it. I'm attempting to be a decent human in a scary world. all I truly want to do Is enjoy my life surrounded by good people that I care about! TH-cam has given me a little freedom in that sense and look forward to continuing to grow and share!
How do you find the fish to start with before you enter the water? Also, I know in key west but isn’t there like sanctuary waters all around you that are strict on even having spear guns in your boat? Do you use any bait/ chum to attract the fish?
you don't find them first, you get in the water and drift and wait for them. yes there are sanctuaries but we weren't in them. and I do not chum no.
Epic Video!
glad you liked it!
WOW!!!! The fish slaughter did it! Great video captain! Good size wahooooo😊😊😊🤙🤙🤿🤿🤿 Thanks for a awesome video.
thanks so much for watching as always!
Pretty ballsy cutting gills in that deep water I wouldn't be able to shake the feeling a shark would be right behind me
nothing new we do it everyday! sharks are there regardless.
Unfortunately people cry about the price of fish, but they don’t realize and they don’t care how much hard work it is. We get old mate hopefully you are also structuring a personal retirement plan. Greatest job in the old but we cannot dive forever.
Keep up the great work and if you’re able to ship to Maryland I will buy from you.
Yup! Most don’t know what goes into it or where it comes from. Been putting money away for retirement since i was 18 years old. And I will be diving for as long as my body allows it!
Going back through your older stuff. Great videos. Seeing all the places I go after not being down for a few years, makes me long to return. I would be interested in the video numbers. I started up a channel but let it languish. People were messaging me for more, I really should post more stuff.
funny to see how far its come! alot different style now, and I've shared some of the numbers here and there, you'll run into them.
I just started watching your channel. Awesome. I spear hunt big game on land. lol. What is the plastic stick you keep retrieving after you shoot?
thanks for tuning in! and its just pvc and mirror vinyl. used to attract fish.
amazing channel Erin amazing! I live in Edmonton Canada but I am from the northwest territories Canada. so we don't fish like that. I grew up at the merging of Canada's two largest rivers the McKenzie and the Liard rivers, the McKenzie is a muddy river and the Liard is a clean river and you can see the separation of the two for 500 miles. the volume of water there is 214,284 m3\s so a lot off water, it'ssoo deep that life jackets won't help because the water just drags you under.
Aaron* but love to hear it! thanks so much for tuning in! pretty wild, mother natures is a lovely thing! thanks for watching and taking the time to share!
Thanks “Dibs”. Just found you on here. Shout out to Blue Gabe an Kelly. Awesome video! Looking forward to seeing more of your Adventures!!! Thanks for Sharing. We Really Love it. Be Safe Brother and keep up the Great work.
love it! welcome to the channel and thanks for coming along!
What an epic day. Must’ve been fun!!
a day I won't forget!
Superb footage 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼blessed by your integrity Capt.💪🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
glad you enjoyed it! thank you!
What a day Arron when u have a blank or 💩 day remember this day!!!! 😲😲😲was very great to see all those fish there where loads!!! Keep them coming always good to watch👍👍👍
was a day I will never forget!
I love your channel and I’m not the type to be negative. But Your comment that the population isn’t in trouble because you see alot when fishing I feel is misguided. The fish in the ocean are in decline world wide. I love catching and keeping, but we need to promote conservation above all else.
Stay safe sir
To make a blanket statement that all species across the world are in decline is misleading, some fish are struggling, some fish are thriving. There's no better stock assessment in my opinion than physically seeing them in the water.
Love your channel, just subscribed. Lived in Florida for 20 years and loved fishing offshore from Brevard to the Keys. By the way, where did you get those awesome leaf pillows for your patio?
Sounds like how i grew up! And i have no idea! That’s chief interior designer madeleines realm!
