Started watching your videos about a month ago and worked backwards from last to first. They are all great but I have to say they definitely improved over time. The greatest improvement was when you dropped the music and started doing more narration which is always instructive. I've never been a diver but have been a fisherman for over 60 years. I'm learning just as much about fishing from your underwater videos as from the fishing videos. The catch and cooks are a bonus. Keep it up.
That’s awesome! And yeah I had someone editing the videos for me at the beginning, when I took over I dropped the music. Everyone seems to like to feel a lot better.
@@KeyWestWaterman Yes! Much better without music. In films about fishing, music only interferes, because you want to hear the sounds of nature, the sounds of fishing, and not be like at a disco.
I love the early morning vibe. Fresh start to the day with a cup of coffee. Plus, your launch point from your home is so cool. just living life as it should be lived. Doing it right man.
every day! minus the coffee lol. really love where we live just trying to enjoy my time here! thanks for watching!
I would need a dive bell to only go 20 ft down lol...
I’m more of a sunset with a glass of beer kind of guy. But I love the videos. Fishing is one of the few things that will get me up in the morning.
Here is my comment for the algorithm. Thanks to Mike and Chris for let share the footage. Cheers from Argentina.
thanks so much! helps a lot!!
I've been watching your channel over the last year. I watch one episode every night before I go to bed. There is something very relaxing about it. Thanks and keep going!
The fact that he says all the time not to rush the shot, and then shows us the footage of him doing just that, when he clearly could of chose not too include that clip, shows us how honest and humble this man is. I've Never been on a spearfishing charter but if I did, it would be with this captain.
#dreamtrip
haha just couldn't help myself! love those porgies! thanks for the kind words and tuning in!
You are the Bob Ross of spearfishing videos and I say that in the best way possible. Love your videos man. Keep up the good work. 🔱
I went to PCB Easter weekend (Friday night through Monday morning) fishing , diving,beaching . was talking anyone who would listen. I’m old, I talk , a lot , about everything under the sun.
I had two ppl as me if I had ever heard of or watched KEYWEST WATERMAN ? DUDE! Your FAMOUS!
Congrats, I’m glad I can say I knew you when……
😂 i sure hope I’m never actually famous! Just wanna enjoy life while I’m hear! Do appreciate you tuning in!
Thanks to Mike and Chris for letting us tag along on their charter!
Yes!!
That's the most clearest water I've ever seen that key west Florida is a absolutely a bucket list
Def is a beauty place!
It was early morning yesterday I was up before the dawn. And I really have enjoyed my stay but I must be moving on.... First song I heard on the radio while leaving the Key West Garrison Bight marina on Captain John's Greyhound. We set out for the Gulf side and talk about an awesome day!!! Back in 89 the fishing was so good you only needed to get out on the water and throw a bait in. Grits and Grunts became a staple in my life and I still prefer Grunts over the average fish like tilapia and cod. Life changes and the Keys did as well. I'm so glad to see people that are treating the keys in a respectable manner. As a commercial fisherman I have seen some really messed up stuff. Like people pulling our traps and stealing our catch. Blatant sewage dumping in the water from vessels. You guys give me hope for the next generation to be able to enjoy and sustain the keys. I respect you for what you do and the way you are doing it. People often said that commercial fisherman were the ones ruining the keys. I always said No! People who have no respect for the keys are the ones responsible! We're conservationist that would work hard to keep the keys as pristine as possible. They stopped fishing traps in order to stop killing fish species and make sure they don't become extinct from over fishing. People who don't know what it takes to support themselves by working on the water may never understand what it means. I on the other hand will never forget. Sometimes it might mean going without a few things for the month. Other times it's a motherload and a nice pay day. For me it was always a grateful day to be on the water and receiving its bounty. Weather from beauty or the catch it's always an amazing day to be on the water in the Keys. Thanks again for all of your hard work and the content you bring
it really is a bummer, wish everyone could just be a decent person and respect what we have! thanks so much for tuning in, glad you enjoy the content!
Every time we go out with a tour it is always a long day.. 8 hrs for them- 12 hours for us!! you are sooo right Kevin. I appreciated the walk through of your day... me looking in the mirror moment!!
Haha who the hell is Kevin? And it’s nothin but the truth! Thanks for tuning in!
@@KeyWestWaterman hahaha, soooo butched that one up!! ARON. sorry about that. I was thinking of my boat mechanic who Is also a young. Hahaha???
My wife and I never miss a video .
love to hear that!
The crunch on that fish 🔥🔥🔥
Right!!
Here I go again ! Binge watching Aaron !!! LOL
Haha thanks so much!
So happy to have found your page. Your knowledge, patience, and calmness is refreshing. Your videos are anxiety killers for me. Keep it up! 🐟
love to hear that, thanks so much for tuning in!
Nice day! Always better than a regular job!
Haha right!
You can not imagine what your videos do for me. I get to relive some of the best days of my life by riding along with you. Not many folks can do what you do on the water to start with but then God has blessed you with the videography skills and the it factor for television. I hope can get by there soon and make a couple days fishing. Pensacola says thanks
Appreciate you taking the time to share! Thanks so much for watching!
A 28 minute long video deserves a thumbs up in your tip jar. Thanks for letting us tag along! I loved the curtain blackout close to the end too.
thanks for coming along! and I thought It was cool, was feeling kinda artsy! haha
I really respect how you approach the sport and teach clients. Also the self control and ability not to shoot hogfish is rare, and I appreciate it. Especially when it is an easy target for clients and makes you less worried about putting fish in the boat, a good mindset because of their struggling pops. Great video as usual.
do appreciate the feedback! just trying to do my part to keep the fisheries healthy. Thanks so much for sharing and tuning in!
Great video Aaron. It’s awesome your clients let you film a video with them. Thank you boys.
For sure! Big thanks to them! Thanks for tuning in!
Beautiful job of frying fish, Captain.
glad you enjoyed it!
a day in the life in paradise... love it
Thanks for tuning in!
My time in the navy during the 70,s allowed me base access to some great spearfishing. I shot a 35 lb mutton in 6 feet of water. This fish was huge! I used an arbolet gun.
Held my breath with you I lasted 3 secs on the bottom lmao. I'll stay in the boat thanks! lol
Haha need more practice!
Just living my life vicariously through you my friend. Thanks for sharing
I’m giving it hell! Thanks for watching!
Have you ever considered yourself as a guru or shaman or something? Cause whenever I'm stressed out about life I can watch your videos and find some sorta satisfaction and peace. Always find a good vi e in them!. Thanks again for your content.
Haha i will be honest i have not! But happy to hear that i do appreciate it!
Very informative. I've never chartered, but have taken lots of folks out on my boat - most of them do not realize the work it takes to make that happen.
its def alot of work! thanks for tuning in sir!
A day in your life Aaron is a great day. I know it's easier said than done. With weather, gas, getting on the fish, service, maintenace costs and docking fees. Still you beat the system, you are doing what you love and that's one reason I watch your videos . CONGRATS, great video and thanks again for sharing. See you next Monday hopefully sooner 🤜🤛👌💯
I’m giving it hell! I really do appreciate it! Been a wild ride thus far!
Thanks to the clients for allowing us to tag along. Good video Aaron, see you next Monday.
Indeed! Thanks for tuning in!
Forgot to mention to you, if my grammar is horrible my 1st language is not English and im not above 18+ yet but since i love spearfishing, the ocean and watching others to learn and to pass time well. I always watch most of your videos since they're descriptive and quite enjoyable to watch.
No worries at all! So happy you enjoy the videos!
U got me...I was waiting for the timer to come on...love ur videos...👍👐👐👈
Haha left it out this time
“Got nothing else for you” 👌
Haha i ran out!
Good morning waterman ,stay healthy and safe , God bless.
Thanks so much!
Arron, not all charter captains give 110% like you do. Great video 📹 Sir
I try! Thank you Sam!
Yeaaaah baaaby SCOOPers is the Reeeeeeeaal BIG time fish/fishing
Letz🎣🐋🐳G👀👋🤟🇬🇺👍💪
Haha thanks for watching!
@Key West Waterman Always brother 😃🤗🤟🏝🏞✌️🙏
So homesick for Florida! Awesome video❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!!
I'm 4 minutes 45s in and the eyelids are shutting down. Look forward to seeing the rest in the a.m, but will mute and try it out for drifting off zzzz PS Jealous of the peaceful neighbourhood at sunrise. Cheers, Arron.
haha no worries! thanks so much for tuning in!
Best spear fishing TH-camr out there
haha glad you think so! thanks for watching!
The dogs reaction when she finally got the bone! Priceless! 🤣🤣🤣 Lord only knows how long she been looking at it thru the gaps in the boards plotting to get it! 😅 Another dope video as usual 👌 n shout out to the clients who were cool enough to let u record the day! ✊️✌️
Haha she’s too funny! And for sure! Appreciate them lettin me do it
Agreed! My labs would do the same thing, stare until someone came to the rescue.
I'd say the best part of the commute is hog fish next door 😂😂😉
haha right
My old man (who dove with the likes of Ted Williams) taught me how to skindive and shoot fish with a Hawaiian sling.
I love to hold my breath on each of your dives to see if I've still got it. (despite being a 53 year old pothead, I've still got it) 😂 😂 😂
Haha that’s amazing!
@@KeyWestWaterman yeah bo, my old man (rip) made his own slings at work for PanAm airways as an airframe and powerplant (a&p) mech. He had access to lots of stainless steel and machine shop shit.
Our shafts were .1875 (3/16) stainless shafts just over 4 feet long (stone shots were absolutely crucial - and we made those shots every fkn time not to lose a shaft).
They were fkn bullets!!! However we lost many shafts, but dad always had a stockpile. 😂
The old man would turn them out hand over fist because the materials were abundant. I still posses the last one of my old man's sling shafts with a handmade barb.
My favourite episode so far. Makes it real for those who think it's all fun. I'm jealous, do it for as long as you can champ. 😎
haha happy to hear that! thanks for tuning in!
Sunup sun down its a long day on the water great job captain
Thanks for watching!
Cant wait to visit the keys in august....wooo whoooo...🤗😎💪
will be here before you know it!
@@KeyWestWaterman will definitely be look out for you if im lucky👍keep up the brilliant work👌
Great walk through of your breath up.
thanks for watching!
Your content always makes me happy. Can't wait to book a deep drop charter just waiting for a health issue to clear up!!! Thank you as always!
love to hear it! thanks for tuning in and get well soon!
Great video as always. The fish looked delicious. Thank you for sharing, be safe, my friend. PB
glad you enjoyed it!
Dude!! Awesome video, just what I needed after a poop Monday and you did a video with clients!! You the man
Haha love to hear it!
Not sure if you are up for it but would love to see a video with you using a Hawaiian sling as well as a Polespear
don't actually have a sling but I can give a pole spear a go!
@@KeyWestWaterman would love to see it! Possibly even an attempt at a grouper once season opens in the coming days!
The land locked fisherman ,I hear you on Strangers , you are just a friend I've yet to meet LOL
haha right! thanks for watching!
Great video. Our boat slip is in the middle of a bunch of Alaska fishing charter captains. No one works harder day in and day out. Period. These guys are up at 0600 to prepare, meet their clients at 0700, fish all day, back at 1700, fillet fish until 1830, clean and prep the boat until 2000. Rinse and repeat daily. They have my respect!
it definitely isn't easy work! but I wouldn't change it for the world!
@@KeyWestWaterman 100%!
Great video , telling it like it is , chartered for a living over 35 years , tell YC Greg Bounty Hunter Paul said hello !
That’s a hell of a run! And i will!
5 min in I’m ex military early mornings are the best, looks like you need a deck hand. I’d love to fill the spot, make being the captain easy. Love the vibes tho brother. Great content.
Haha i do love my mornings! And maybe one day!
At least the fact that you like your job makes those long days more enjoyable. Better than sitting in an office anyways lol! Really like the editing with the time lapses by the way. Lots of fun watching your videos.
I’ll be honest i get sick to my stomach on the bad days. But life def could be worse! Thanks for sharing and watching brother!
would love to head that way one day 🤙
its a lot of fun!
Just found this TH-cam channel.
My fav about fishing channels are the underwater shots and with these vids it's more about under the water then on top, that's why I haven't put it down for 2 days. Keep up the good content. Good movies
Haha love to hear it! Thanks so much for tuning in!
I love you're video. Watch all of them I'm a Jamaican. but live in Maryland
Love to hear it! Thanks so much for watching!
Man. I was already getting dizzy before you hit the bottom. Lol
haha! keep practicing!
Awesome day.!!👊🏻👊🏻
def was!
Another great video! The edits just get better and better.
Love to hear that! Thanks for watching!
Best part of a Monday !!! Key West Waterman Video !! Getting better at the breath hold thing.......made it to the grunts..... lost it... after trying to add them..... wife inquired as to what was that noise and why I had a blue tint..... well more practice.. Regardless thanks for bringing us along with you and your clients. Great job !!!
😂😂😂 love it! Keep on practicing!
great job Aaron, Taking care customers. I think everyone that goes down to the Keys for spearfishing should book you. Great Video.
Doing my best! Thanks for watching!
Weather is looking good! Hopefully it stays the same for a couple more weeks when I come down for the summer
Was a nice day! Been blowing for a week after!
Best one yet.
Love to hear it!
So happy I found your channel!!
glad you enjoy it!
Hi I am from Trinidad and tobago and enjoy your
style and videos
love to hear it! I hear its beautiful over there would love to visit some day!
Another cool vid.Fried porgy got to be one of the best tasting fish in my opinion.See ya on next vid''
they sure are good! thanks so much for watching!
Another great video! It does not matter that you did not shoot a lot of fish, it was nice to watch you dive and shoot several mangrove snappers. Looking forward to next Monday. Until then, God bless and I hope all will be well.
Thanks so much for watching!
I wonder if you ever keep a eye out for a glimmer of gold while diving? The 2 times I went snorkeling in Key West all I thought about was Mel Fisher.
odds of finding anything aren't great. but It would be cool!
Love your videos. Land locked in Idaho but get my Saltwater fix with you! Thanks for providing free entertainment. Always like, etc. Cheers....
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks so much for watching!
That fried fish though!
so good!!!
Nice life Mr. Young. 🙌🏼🤙🏻great video.
I have no complaints! thanks for watching!
I mix it 50/50. Really good!
I normally eye ball it! Just didn’t wanna send anyone to the hospital! Haha
Always enjoy watching your videos amazing catch
Happy to hear it!
Great video, I’m glad you add the before and after of a charter. Clients only see the few hours there in the boat. Not the prep, clean up or maintenance that’s done to keep the boat running. Keep on keeping on Capt!
that was the expedited version! the full cut would bore everyone to death! haha!
@@KeyWestWaterman I hear ya, I run a boat up here in Ponce Inlet. Lots of time on the boat before and after clients leave.
Same theory in Deer or Turkey hunting. A rushed shot never ends well. Cheers from Memphis
It’s universal in hunting! You ain’t lyin! Thanks for tuning in!
Another great video, thank you. As a wanna be vacation spear fisherman I really enjoy your videos where you take us along, do a dive in real time, talk depth, and give tips. I’ve tried three times on charters/training in the Keys and Hawaii and weather cancelled every one, beginning to feel like some one’s telling me something :) One of these days it will happen. In the meantime I’m learning and living vicariously with your videos. Best wishes and thanks again.
glad you enjoy the videos! thanks for tuning in and that is a bummer! it will happen eventually!
More videos!!!!!!!
Haha I’m tryin!!
The crunch of that fish makes me hungry! Nice video
that is my favorite part! love that batter!
Great stuff,you always keep it real ,and make even the stressful parts look fun
haha apparently im good at hiding it! thanks for tuning in!
@@KeyWestWaterman sure thing
Really liked this one🤙🏼 great edit too. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!!
In northern MN here. MN doesn't allow any game fish spearfishing. We go to Manitoba and hunt walleyes. Haven't been able to go for two yrs, and we finally get to go again this summer. Your hunts inspire; can't wait.
always amazing to hear the different rules around the world! but happy to hear the vids help! thanks so much for watching!
some good eats right there!!
You ain’t Lyin!
The Cuban cafe around the corner has a good cheap breakfast
they do!
Hello boys and girls …. Great videos Aaron . I am a waterman from the bay of fundy . Most commercial fishermen I know wouldn’t even tell you how much their morning coffee cost . So seeing your break downs is something I enjoy. New viewer and cramming your videos on the boat
Haha you ain’t kiddin! Happy to share i always found it interesting! Thanks for watching!
Daddy's home!
lol!
I love a good mangrove snapper! Good eatin
me too!!
"Porgy on the brain" Is that a Porgasm? ;-) You so rarely miss, but nice save on the stoner Mangrove right after that! It's super helpful to hear you assessing your clients because once you point it out, then I can hopefully be mindful of my own technique.
Haha!! And absolutely. Love sharing my thoughts on people that wanna learn. Not that my way is the right way by any means but a different perspective is never a bad thing in my opinion!
@@KeyWestWaterman a few big takeaways I've picked up from your channel is that #1 you take a lot of time to get the right shot. #2 once your shot connects with the fish, you immediately go right to it. I think you said something about folks who let them "dangle" and then pull them in at the surface. Now when I watch other channels, I see others being rushed and sloppy. Thanks for sharing all of this information; I'm new to spearfishing so it's all great information and seeing it in-action is even better!
Another great vid Aaron!! Keep it up !!!
more on the way!
Food for thought when editing. If you record all, or almost all of your dives, you could add a "dive counter" per spot and maybe an all day count. You could put it somewhere on the screen to help people understand/realize you aren't dropping and shooting a fish every time. Gives people a visual of what dive you're on for a spot and how many trips down you've actually taken before shooting something!
Not a bad idea! Just a little more work! Do appreciate the feedback. I always try to make it clear it’s not every dive!
@@KeyWestWaterman I completely understand on the more work on your end. Which does suck, but food for thought! I know GoPro's can be a pain sometimes or I'd suggest a stop start after every dive so when editing, you see the breaks in records, but I know that's not possible because it might not turn back on for awhile lol you do a great job emphasizing it's not every drop!
Mango's for the win.. mine were always 10-12 inchers though by the dock ha.
Haha I’ll take em all day!
Waiting to see the vid with the monster porgy
that was a charter unfortunately! wish I was filming!
Another great video good luck may 1
thank you!
What's up key West waterman anyways first time I seen you with clients haven't watched the video yet but I know it's going to be interesting and I'm sure you're going to get a lot of fish or enough to eat or bring home it's one thing about you but you will find them I know you have your bad days but I know you have a lot more good days my opinion thanks for working so hard thanks for making the videos and thanks for TH-cam huh
I give it hell either way! I think its my persistence more than anything. thanks for tuning in!
Hey🧡👋‼️ As always the end was to short. I could wach 28 minutes and ten seconds instead with you two in the backyard, the stairs up to the balcony and further in to the kitchen. And just being You!
When is the house-tour?
Hugs from Sweden/Ola. 👋🇸🇪⚘️
haha love to hear it! and I will ad it to the list! thanks for the feedback as always sir!
goals.
cheers, cap.
thanks for watching!
It'd be nice if you'd educate us on fish Identification when you pull it up to your body or on the boat, and when you do it describe the meat of the fish. I don't know about others but I'd greatly appreciate that.
You could even make a pictorial color chart with the legal sizes to spear / catch, what kind of environments and depths the fish are found, how to chum or approach them along with any other relevant data that would be helpful. Heck, you could write a book with the depth of your knowledge.
ive been working on a fish ID Video, just saving up all the footage!
Really cool seeing others hunt. I love the different perspective. Another great Video. Now I'm hungry for fish tacos and it's not even Tuesday!!!
yea love to see the 3rd person stuff. gonna try to get more like that!
Been waiting
thanks for watching!
Another great realistic video with no fluff!! It would be amazing if you could cue the fish that you want to see on your charter trips but you don't have that power so it showed what really happens on a daily basis and I loved it! Keep up the real videos and your fan base will grow.
man I'd be rich if that were the case! haha thanks for watching sir!
