    The fact that you dove down set the camera up for the shot and then stoning two fish with one shot, is one of the more impressive things I’ve seen on TH-cam!

    Love the video. Quick warning, the venom glands on lionfish are at the base of the spines, so even cutting them off you can still get stuck by the stubs. They're a lot less sharp and easier to work around when cut off, but its still a good idea to be careful.

    Got zapped 3 times in a week in Belize. 1st one burned like crazy, but went away in 20 mins. Next day got spined in the thigh. Same sensation but gone in 10 mins. Final time, less pain and over quickly. On a 50 mile offshore dive trip we killed 62 of them. That night at the dive bar they treated us to 3 different lionfish recipes plus sides - all for no extra cost. 2 tanks, gourmet lunch, plus dinner for $150. Crazy.

    • @KeyWestWaterman

    Another awesome video Aaron. I just made some ceviche for the 1st time and it was awesome. Fun fact, Robert Arrington’s, deermeatfordinner, niece Lauren, did a 6th grade science project on Lionfish ability to tolerate differing salinity levels. She won and was published, as a 6th grader. At any rate her research contributed to our knowledge of the Lionfish being able to adapt in widely differing salinity levels. Keep up the good work.

    Insanely common off Tampa/St Pete. Really good market prices and if you are deep enough they are prolific. We don’t cut the spines any more but do a straight fillet of them, much faster and haven’t been stung after harvesting hundreds.

      Gunner, my thought on that is that since he has to come up for air anyway, no real need to bring a bag down with you (one more thing to carry not to mention the drag). Still, I would have thought the use of the pole spear and a paralyzer tip would be the way to go for these fish. Easy to get off the spear.

    • @KeyWestWaterman
      @KeyWestWaterman  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      if im in the shallows I bring a 3 prong, but yes free diving there's a ton of drag carrying a bag around. not efficient! realistically sometimes ill just keep loading my gun with the lions on the shaft and go back to the boat with 4 or 5 of them

    Hey I'm fairly new and I'm loving the content. I would like to see a video on how you got into commerical fishing. I would love to get into it as well just not sure how to get the permits.

      glad you like the content! and thats a video I honestly don't really want to make. it all depends on where you are, what you're targeting. there's a million different things you need. not to mention a ton of cash. a grouper snapper permit alone is like $75k. best thing to do if you're looking into getting into a commercial career is get a job on an already operating commercial vessel!

    I have yet to have lion fish but it looks amazing. I can’t get over how they have no bloodline whatsoever. I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen seen one bleed before.

    Noticed you don't clear your ears as you dive down. How long did it take for you to reach that point? Also, how did you train to hold your breath for 2 min plus? Or did it just come naturally?

    • @KeyWestWaterman
      @KeyWestWaterman  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I "hands free" clear from what i'm told. apparently its a rare thing. didn't know I was doing it until i had a certified Freediver on the boat. and Never done any training. I grew up surfing my entire childhood and swam a bit in highschool. just came naturally.

    Lionfish come from the south Pacific and are invasive in the Caribbean. Good job, kill'em all.

      Puts pressure on my forehead, and they are terribly uncomfortable. Just had a discussion about those mask and how unnecessary they are for freediving. (If they don’t fit properly) but a lot of dove shops push them on beginners.

      that is a scuba pro solo, the best mask ive ever owned. I have a big issue with masks pushing on my brow. I've had that same mask since I was 18. unfortunately they don't make one with a GoPro mount.

    Just watched this one. Great double take down! Liked the way you put the camera down to make the shots. Dumb question: How long can you hold your breath? It seems like you're down there forever! Again, thoroughly enjoy your videos and how you easily you explain everything. Keep them coming!

      @@RandomChannel-eg3wx I thought that was the case too but I was just in Marathon and I was so looking forward to killing a bunch of those things. We dove about 10 pilings on the seven mile bridge and saw one small lion fish. We dove some patch reefs and didn't see any at all. We were not in anything over 40 feet though. I thought they WERE going to be very easy to find but for us, that was not the case.

    • @KeyWestWaterman
      @KeyWestWaterman  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      they are literally everywhere, but they like structure. ideally somewhere they can hide. a ledge, cave, hollow coral head. anything with an overhand and a dark comfy corner. 5 ft out to 300'
