    Usually LOVE your stuff, but gotta tell you, I hate fraud fishing electric reel stuff. What’s next KWW long lining? My bad too, I just shouldn’t have watched the video. Views correlate to acceptance and I want no part of that. Anyway, to each his own I guess but count me out for any future electric bs « sport « fishing.

      I'm gonna pin this comment just in case anyone else is thinking the same thing. First and foremost I will say very clearly, I am not a "Sport Fisherman" I do not do any of this stuff for "sport". everything I do in my videos is to harvest food for myself and my family. I absolutely enjoy the hunt, but that is not the reason I do it. With that being said, my job this day was to harvest a fish for us to eat. Just like a hunter uses a rifle to make their job easier. An electric reel makes my job of harvesting a fish easier. Also, if you've never reeled up 10 lbs from 1600' all day your opinion is irrelevant. I've been doing this TH-cam thing long enough to understand that I will always have people that disagree with me and I don't take any of it personally. Thats why I like to take the time to explain things from my perspective, but putting the use of an electric reel and long lining in the same wheel house is one of the more ridiculous things I've ever heard on here. Either way, thanks for tuning in.

      @Steve Hicks, please upload your video of hand-cranking a 10# lead from 1500' - would love to see it! Also, swim to swordfish grounds since boats are also fraud-fishing - you must use dugout canoe.

      One of the most thoughtful and environmentally conscious fisherman you will find on youtube. Sounds like you just have some negativity built up. No need to impose your standards on others. I personally think that catch and release sport fishing is pretty shoddy these days. (Used to be my MO) I don't watch those channels nor do I show up to dis them in the comment section. There are too many better ways to spend energy. Just my 2.

    • @MarVillaN24
      @MarVillaN24 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Im not really a fisherman but i like watching the videos. I didn't know electric reels existed and think its pretty interesting to see them being used. Nothing wrong with it. You need to let go of such silly hate.

    at the end, it reminded me of all of the times I have come home too tired to do anything but barely feed myself. It was really fun seeing you super excited and trying to manage all of the different things happening. It seemed like one of those times when having a third person driving the boat so you could focus on catching the fish while Will focused on shooting the action. really intense episode. loved it! thank you so much Aaron!

  • @BroadBillHunter
    @BroadBillHunter ปีที่แล้ว +1

    thanks for sharing not many people show the raw footage of fighting fish and the chaos that ensues. swordfishing is so weird. Sometimes i'm so superstitious sometimes i'm convinced nothing matters. In the heat of the battle if you feel overwhelmed with your buoy rod just snip it and focus on the fish at hand. I've fought strong fish that make me spin the boat for hours and the gulf stream pushes us north very rapidly by fort lauderdale. 15 miles north in a few hours while at battle certain times of the year. i just go back to splice and collect the buoy after. uni to uni baby. unless it gets sucked under which is unlikely its there down the line. when you think you have a good shot on the harpoon just wait 5 more seconds. some lessons ive learned swording last few years.. cheers from hillsboro inlet.

    • @KeyWestWaterman
      @KeyWestWaterman  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yup! I think thats what I enjoy it so much, I thought about cutting it several times, if i'm being honest splices in the line drive me crazy other wise I would have. I know they hold well it's just an ocd thing lol. thanks for tuning in and taking the time to share! 🙏

    Man I'm glad you posted this video! Last week I was out with three other very experienced local charter capt's..we lost one boat side at 930am...due to a stupid drag mistake...6hrs later we came tight again..lost that fish boat side due to a missed dart shot by me and the fish swimming directly into the motors. It was a long ride home...and I spent the next thee days out there trying to redeem with no success. That is sword fishing and like they say "if ya know, ya know"...haha worst addiction ever!

    Cool video as usual. I'm surprised you don't catch gigantic grouper once in awhile if those baits are down near the bottom. Swordfish are strange, they don't look like bottom fish.
    Edit, you can definitely eat fish out of another fish's stomach. The guy from Sailing Into Freedom says it tastes pickled and he eats it always if it's not too far gone.

    That was awesome. Seeing the halved squid gives you an idea just how powerful a hunter they are. Sounded like you were somewhat close to NAS KW 👍 The cat watched you put the bowl down for the dog, looked at the bowl, then looked back at you like 'Hey, where's mine?' 😂😂 Fresh sword is something I haven't had in a long time. Great job, despite the chaos.

    What a great fish! About how many pounds of meat do you get from a fish that size Aaron? And no Will, wouldn't bash you at all...I'd have done the same, stay out of the way and let Aaron do his thing. Great video, thank you both so much! Have a wonderful week and Hi to Mama Clams!

    Agree with DMFD, you made it happen. It was certainly chaotic getting that bad boy into the boat. What a great fish though! That was a good tip about slight freezing before vacuum sealing! Another great adventure w/ KWW and CWC, you guys are always funny!

    Well done, always love your videos!! Another trick for controlling moisture in the bag seal when vac sealing is to fold a paper towel and set it in the bag between the meat and the seal. Learned that on the LEM sealer page training videos.
    Not sure if you know this or not, I just completed the required 'Return 'Em Right' training course to obtain the free descending device, I noticed they used your boat in the main page header, but no credit in the ambassador or the partner page? Nice to get the boat on the front page, but I felt like they should have given you a plug for the use of the footage. Was a nice surprise to see you on their page though!

    • @KeyWestWaterman

      yea I used to use that one as well! yea they came out and fished with my for some content. they paid for the trips charters to film so no big on credit for it!
