Brought tears to my eyes too. That was sweet gift. And the riffing on “Forever Youngs” was felt by all of us, I’m sure. You remind me of the 40 years (this year) my wife and I have had together. Keep adventuring!❤
it really was! couldn't believe it.
Those people are just reflecting some of the good vibes your channel puts out to them. You are genuinely great people!
On a funny note...loved the pepper and salt mills you use when cooking! Bought my parents a set of rechargeable ones...in turn, they sent me a set! Absolutely love them! Keep having fun and bringing us along!
Always a Blessing to get off of work from rough day & see your content. Best way to decompress, relax, & chill. Thank you for continuing to share such amazing adventures & food!
I'll never get tired of the mangrove videos! Love your stuff man
Just watched Heiko make fish burgers. Nice to watch & compare y’all’s techniques. Great video
Gotta be a pro to hit one of them. That's crazy. That bridge was loaded with fish.
lots of life for sure
I spent my teen years in the keys. Best years of my life 🎉
Inside for 4 days? Oh no, TH-cam overload. Nothing good comes out of TH-cam, except KWW!
haha
Awesome video, as always. When I saw all the fish I really thought, pick one goose and shoot. It's hard to pick just one when there is 100 coming in to the decoys. Fish cake dog looked fantastic.
You're using the lemon/lime juicer exactly right. They obviously use it wrong.
its the fishburger dog. consider using the dog snapper and call it 'dog burger dog of the sea". lol.
Dont think i'd keep those snapper on my waist. A little unsettling when that 10 foot hammerhead shoots by in that cloudy water.
Me neither, just about every time I am in the water or fishing above the water I see a decent size to large shark. It’s a rarity if I don’t see them. Always have to bring a fish in fast before half of it gets taken.
Seems like Snapper would make good Asian fish cakes/balls. Throw in a blender with a bit of frozen veg or ice, add seasoning of choice a bit of Tapioca starch and a smidge of baking powder. Process in a food processor until paste like, form into desired shape and either fry or cook in barely simmering water.
Love the vibe hopefully one day when I’m in south Florida I can come say hello and cook something together
You should really consider filming one of your hunting trips Aaron. I know there are hundreds of subscribers like me who would love to see a hunt from you buddy!
I will certainly consider it! thanks so much for watching!
Use some can corn next to brdge pilings .
Bleed them fish out. Still dumping them donuts in that grizzly water I see.😂
Oh hell yes 👍. Awesome job Aaron 😊
Great video,I like the fish hot dog idea
I FUCKING LOVE BRIDEGE DIVING😍 i forget exactly what bridge/channel it is, but there is a sunken barge just north of stock island it holds TONNSS of life on it!
Key west waterman...in search of the crunchies 😂
Damn is it monday already? where is time going…
So Will Isnt on the clock to roll up a fishroll for anybody else and will also cant wait for others to be ready to eat. Will wouldnt make in around my crowd!
Diving under a bridge is not safe these days
I know that bridge! My house is a mile away.
Will just did them the other day, I believe, with specs.
Man I have always wanted to do that but my health isnt the best and physically I can't swim like I used to
The fact that u have the ability to dive in 100ft of water, and are also not to proud to dive on a less then 10ft deep bridge, shows ur humility even more. Can tell u just want to eat fish and don't care how you have to get it. I also try to walk or "swim" the same path just gota work on my breath hold.
Love it " I've been inside for the last 4 days and I'm going nuts"😂😂😂😂
Also a question,is there any freshwater fish in Florida that u can spear? Ie big walleye? Catfish? Snakehead?
I know sharks are all over down there but i have watched a couple other videos in which people have mentioned salt water crocs in an area called Destroyer Key. Have you ever seen any in your years in the keys?
I have been here for 10 years and have yet to see one out in the wild.
The American Crocodile is a shy and unaggressive creature. Nothing like the Australian one.
TUNA!!!
haha
My favorite 100% great job
I am concerned about bullsharks or maybe other sharks ambushing me in the low vis. Whats your way of thinking when it comes to this? I don't have much experience so any hints that could help me to judge the situation would be welcome :) Greetings! Alan
Are there wild hogs in the keys or did you get that inland?
I was on the mainland
Maybe it'll be a good idea to see if your swimmers swimming y'all been together how long now lil Maddy n Aaron Juniors
Hey , hope all is well. Looking for some recommendations for good charter boats and capitans. Not sure of the dates as of yet.
www.fishreelfresh.com is my go to guy. Zack. Tell him i sent ya!
Thank you
Off topic question.
Where do you get the bags you keep your cast net in?
its just a mustad dry bag.
TNX 5 VID LOL
You musta been wearing a 7mm wetsuit, no wonder ur buoyancy was off 😂
What's ur water temps now? It's down into the sixties in Vero now 😮🥶
haha 3.5 mil and depend where you are, low to high 70s
@@KeyWestWaterman 😀 dangit and I thought I moved south far enough. Time to re-evaluate 🤣
At least I know of a realtor in the keys 🤗
Hey KWW sorry I have been gone so long. Been traveling a ton lately plus I just found out YT somehow unsubbed me from your channel. I hadn’t really noticed but just recently I thought about you and sure as hell I checked and I was unsubbed. It wasnt my doing sooooo…..I’m back!😎
haha no worries glad you're back!
@@KeyWestWaterman 🤘🤘👍😎
I like your gun

So is it legal to spear fish under bridges in florida ? Or only if there's no fishing from a certain bridge???
He addresses exactly this at 5:18
No lobsters under the bridge ??
nope!
What's the truck under the cover?
another tacoma, bought it because I thought my work tacoma was gonna die and 2 years later it refuses to. and they are no longer gonna make the V6 so wanted to get one before they stopped.
@@KeyWestWaterman good call man. I thought you might have had some hot rods stashed away down there.
Which bridge is this (the name).
You do understand it is illegal to spear fish within 50 yards of a bridge?
Lol do you understand you are incorrect?The law you are referring to is actually 100 yards and it’s from any part of a bridge which public fishing is allowed. You can’t fish from this bridge.
I have watched Many other fishing/diving/ocean videos and the best one that I have encountered is Key West Waterman.....in my humble opinion you and your videos are akin to the Plug in the ocean floor..if someone pulls the plug, then the ocean drains out and there would be no more fishing/diving/ocean videos...at this time I am 84 years of age and I speak the TRUTH......I have lived in Homestead Fla., fished the Keys (myself and my children) and environs and still do I love the BEAUTY of the Keys, the "Glades and South Florida even though I no longer live there....Please continue your ocean excursions, you and your beautiful wife......enjoy and be Thankful that GOD has allowed you to find your way to the Fla Keys.....(i read your history)....
Thanks so much for the kind words! Much appreciated. 🙏🏻
Love how you made sure to mention how dangerous tides are at these bridges!! They are no joke and one hell of a workout!! It’s taken me and my dad 4-5 years of lobster trips to have the slack tide at the bridge dialed in to about 5-10 minutes.
My favorite bridge pass has dozens of drownings. Big drop off and ripping current
Bigger balls than me.
Just wanted to share this Italian recipe/dish that was passed down to me from my late granddad from Italy. It’s very easy and you can put your own twist on it.
Season your fillets salt, pepper, etc.
Dip in egg wash and batter with Italian bread crumbs or Panco. Pan sear each side in olive or avacodo oil. When second side is almost done, sprinkle shredded parmigiana on it and cover until melted.
I know you have cooked a lot of different recipes on here. Some folks don’t like cheese on fish but it’s really tasty. Add your own twist to it and enjoy. Thanks for all of your vids!
God Bless
Now ... That's a new twist on your channel!... Bridge Diving! Interesting.... BTW, There is no size limit when Duck Hunting. (Did I miss a Joke?) What you were doing with a "Size Limit" is MUCH more difficult. (Sell those Cutting Boards!)
Keep waiting on that Bull shark to come out of the murk
lol right
Aren't there usually a ton of sharks around the bridges? I've seen videos of huge bull sharks attacking fish being caught from kayaks around the bridges in the keys.
usually there are yea
Yeah. I fished the Keys a lot. Bull Sharks are anti social.
Years ago I was watching a video of a diver name was manny something dropped down on the Bahia Honda bridge and found himself surrounded by by 20-30 bull sharks he had to backup to a piling to protect his back
I'm tired of reading all of the negative comments. You are honest and open about every part of your CCC and are always open to comments from others. But in my opinion, they're just people that won't get out there and try for themselves and stand on the sidelines to criticize. Screw them! I'm all for you and your wife. My only advice would be that both of keep pursuing your passion without ignoring the most important thing. Your love for each other. It took me a while to figure that out for me. Love you Guys....
Really appreciate the kind words and support! Doing our best to continue on and doing what makes us happy 🙏🏻
I didn't see any negative comments... Maybe that was shortly after the video was posted. You'll get those until they get filtered out by the algorithm.
I know you've answered this before, but how long do you usually wait till you fillet? Overnight in an ice slurry or as soon as you get home? Ty and love your vids!
Log is toooooo looooooong sorry I only was like 20 minutes as I said 40 minutes that's too long I didn't even know you you got married that's how long I have been watch your show
PS....we own Bowlife and make merchandise....Tees, hats, board shorts etc. We so have in house designing. Let us know if you need anything. We HQ out of St Augustine not far from TBT. Will knows who TBT is.😊
couldnt pay me to get in the water around those bridges lol you got some balls on you
i thought it was against the law to dive near bridges? 100ft? am i misinformed on this?
Enter the finger wagging douche who didn’t listen, not allowed from a bridge where fishing is permitted . No fishing allowed from this bridge, now let’s just enjoy the episode 🍻
I talk about it in the video. Depends on the bridge. and what area you are in.
@@KeyWestWaterman i must of missed that part, so if you are not allowed to fish from a bridge you are allowed to spearfish gotcha
Hey have you ever thought abot spearfishing the 7 mile bridge. Ive always wondered what itd look like down there and wether or not itd be loaded with fish. Just an idea/selfishly lol but it could be a cool video. Thanks for the great content! 😊
What’s up with all the butt thumbnails on the comments lol
assuming its Bot accounts, I get like 10 the second the video uploads. and always block them from the channel. but they just create more lol.
@@KeyWestWaterman hahaha geez. What a grind. No pun intended!
Tired of Mangroves? No, I'm in Colorado, Mangroves are downright exotic to me. Love watching your videos while I work.
Very awesome video bud and thank you for being very informative, just subbed keep up the killer work, be safe!
🎣
Reach out if ever up in brevard about duck hunting. I go often. Maybe I could take you on a couple hunts and I could try to link up with you down south for some Ono shooting. Have all my own gear
Aaron you are brave bleeding those fish. Aggressive bull sharks patrol those bridges big time. Be careful!
It's like a fun mental exercise to try to identify the one amongst all of those.
haha right
Awesome video again. Gonna try this with some yellowtail we caught. Please ask Madeleine to share her key lime Mayo dressing.
I would like to know the price of the spear gun you used in this video. So I could purchase one for my brother on his birthday in August, when he comes to Key West. Thanks bud. We really enjoy your content. Keep doing you. Thanks, fans, for life 🙏
here's a link to all the specs! thanks for watching! keywestwaterman.myshopify.com/products/the-grover
@KeyWestWaterman thank you. We will be doing business soon. As always, we appreciate you, your family, your content, and your future endeavors . Talk to you soon on this purchase. 🙏
Need the key lime mayo recipe ASAP!!! The lime mayo makes the BEST restaurant style ranch dressing as well but it’s so hard to find sometimes in the grocery stores so if I could make it myself that would be BOMB!!!
Great video! The Fish Burger Dogs look fabulous!
Absolutely great video Aaron what is that sauce that Madeline makes is it a simple ingredients
Exactly dive bro and find fish to eat Good luck friend ❤❤❤
All the LOVE peeps! We appreciate all you bring to your content,positivity and overall good message! Ty for being you(all 3 of you)!
thanks so much!
@@KeyWestWaterman you ever get tarpon in your canal? Just wondering? Tight lines.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊@@KeyWestWaterman
Pin?

Hi Aaron,
Loving the videos! ❤
Random question, but we are headed to Puerto Rico in a few weeks for a spear fishing trip. I don’t suppose you know anyone that does spearfishing charters there? We are having trouble finding someone. Thanks for your help 😊
Sam
unfortunately I don't know any guides over that way! love to hear you enjoy the vids.
Hey, I'm new to the Channel. My name is Mike C. I’ve got a question. How do you hold your breath for so long while underwater? Do you practice holding your breath above water while doing exercises or something? Just new to watching you and I can't figure out how you hold breath that long while exerting energy at 50 feet deep.
year and years in the water, cardio helps if you'd like to train on land. I've always been able to hold for a while
Aaron, This is way off topic for your video, but I've noticed in several of your videos the "thud, thud, thud" of walking across the Kitchen floor. I'm wondering if you have access to the underside of the floor joists? We had a similar situation and had a company come in and spray insulate the underside. It makes a HUGE difference. And bonus, is also a tax write off for heating / cooling. Love you guys! Keep it up buddy!
we don't have access to them without cutting out double layer dry wall underneath which is a huge pain. but I've had to cut in there before and it is insulated.
@@KeyWestWaterman
Sorry bud, I should have been more specific. It's spray Foam Insulation, not regular.
Ours was wide open, but they did sheetrock over it. It made a HUGE difference in sound and heat/cool retention. Wish you all the best!
Great way to introduce yourself to spearfishing. Back in the day I used to fish breakwaters and jetties, lots of fun and you don't need as much conditioning as diving deeper water.
Someone tell me what im missing. Why do guys fillet small fish? Just remove the head & guts, cook whole, all bones come out with one pull. Filleted, more work, & you have to pull the rib bones.
Because i was making fish cakes. Hard to do with the bones in there. We use the scraps for all kinds of other stuff.
Dude will you take me out to some untouched islands so we can look for micro geckos?????? Ill bring some gas / smoke money!!!! hahah
On my lime squeezer I did them the opposite of you and someone told me to do it the other way. I think your way is right!
I may be wrong but I do see a bit of a lack of bio diversity under the bridge. Is this natural or is there a cause?
Nothing wrong with it, that was completely normal, there were jack, grunt, snapper, Goliath grouper, tarpon. I'd say it was pretty biodiverse.
It's not hard to love you guys. Really enjoy your channel and look forward to the next video from both of you and Will's channel as well.
This is the best when you cook and hang out in the citchen! And are just you. I can wach it for houres. Thank you from Sweden again and again ‼️💝🐠🐟
I believe it’s illegal to Spearfish under bridges or 100 yards off the shore
Look up Monroe country Spearfishing regulations. Only bridges in which fishing from the bridge is allowed.
Looks just like the diving I do up here in Tampa Bay! Was thinking about building a little mid handle gun but might have to just pick up a Grover instead, it’s literally exactly what I have in mind
I’m in Palmetto if you ever need an extra for a weekend dive!
I’m could be wrong but aren’t you not supposed to be spearfishing around bridges in Florida
Bottom left of the second page, fishing is not allowed from this particular bridge. www.monroecounty-fl.gov/DocumentCenter/View/8101/Brochure_Spearfishing?bidId=
Did Kelly Young send you that cutting board? I would be in the market for one being we do a lot of cutting of veggies.
she didnt' one of my clients made it for me!
Awesome video bud, got a subscribe from me
Love to hear it 🙏🏻
Why not use a chum bag to draw 'em in ? Are you free divin or using tanks ? Gutting em underwater, are you afraid of sharks be drawn in ?
you'd just have 10 times the amount of small ones
In key west can you spearfish off bridges and from shore? Nice video Capt.
Depends on the bridge and depends on where from shore.
Never get tired of the mangroves!
Maybe I missed it but what is the recipe for the cream-looking sauce that appeared about 31:20?
Mayo yellow mustard lime juice
Your salsa garnish needs a pinch of cumin, a teaspoon of olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon sugar.
yours may, mine was fine!
Love the colabs and when you take kids fishing. More children need to go fishing so one day they can take their kids fishing
I watch this from Miami, my friend congratulations for living the life we all wish we lived. Every time I drive back from key west, before I get to the 7 mile bridge
I always want to make a Uturn and take a chance.
