Aaron, brother… your vids are getting nuts!!! So awesome
haha I guess that's a good thing! do appreciate ya watching as always brother!
Mr Waterman. Thank you for the documentaries. Like all people who are doers you have a notion of what people want to see. We want to hear what you think and feel. What are the cloud formations telling you, what does the water smell like, is it " fishy" . There is more than enough to fill a video with that overlay on the action. You have the confidence to convey that.
steer clear of the gimmicks and flash. We believe in you and expect the same. Keep 'em coming!
really do appreciate that! just trying to keep it real and enjoy my life! thanks for taking the time to watch and share some kind words!
Dude, that is just amazing footage. Your dive time is crazy. So relaxed and unhurried. Those fish seem to tune in on that
glad you enjoyed it! was an awesome day!
Perfect stone shot on the 2nd African Pompano and the fish recipes at the end looked delicious. Thanks for sharing the incredible dives.
Was a great day! Thanks for tuning in!
“a couple cat hairs, that’s alright” the point where you became my brother!
😂
I respect the fact that you didn't do top water commentary cause you wanted to spend time with the friends. I feel like that connection in life is missing a lot, I feel like most people would feel obligated to do a intro etc no matter who their with.. so I respect it, can't really sink in the moment talking to the camera throughout the day lol.
haha yea some days i'm just not feeling it! I go out a lot to film and end up leaving the cameras off. sounds corny but i'm really just out to enjoy life.
One hell of a day for me, I’m seeing a lot of your videos I’ve never seen. To day I get to see 2 stars in the water at one time.:-)
must be some old ones popping up I love it!
I can’t wait for this channel to blow up.
Haha maybe one day! Having a good time regardless!
Love your videos man appreciate you taking time to make them
I'll keep making em if y'all keeping watching em! really do appreciate it!
Can't get enough... keep up the great work and content!

Charleston Sc.

Beautiful camera work.
Another great video.
Amazing colors on that fish.!!

Your dog is so sweet. Nice preparation on getting both the Wahoo and African Pompano to sushi-grade while retaining their aesthetic look: they were perfect.
She sure is! And man they are both delicious!
Mannn the colors on that AP is insane. Good to hear its great sashimi as well
they really are! one of the prettiest fish out there!

This day you were the strong silent one.... LOL the land locked fisherman
Haha!
Damn bro! You are living your best life Down there ENJOY live it up!!
I am doing my damndest!
As always, GRREAT !!! THANKS
Thank you!!
Awesome AP's. As an idea for a future video, if it's possible, I'd love to see how you can catch those on rod and reel. Have never been able to do it and I definitely can't dive as deep as you can either. Another great video brotha!
no secret to them at all, they are easy to catch. just really hard to find! but if I get the chance ill make a video!
Aaron, Absolutely impressive catching those AP, so worth the extra distance and trouble to catch them. The flavor is unique to them. Nice job on the smoke and sashimi 🙂🎣⚓🛥
I agree! always happy to see them and have them on the plate!
another great waterman video 👊🏿🇯🇲
thanks for watching!
Nice APs Sir...awsome that they just came up like that. Keep up the good work and keep them videos coming...

it truly is! one of my favorites! thanks so much for watching!
beautiful AP, definitely in my top 3 favorite fish to eat as well
some of the best! thanks for watching!
From my life time of chasing critters, all kinds, land, sea, air. when you take on a predatory attitude animals sense it, and behave in response. Took me a long time of testing and proving it to accept that it’s a fact.
Great information sharing.
couldn't agree more! really changed my hunting when I figured that out.
Thats some beautiful water. Definitely a nice spot for diving.
Definitely is!
Ate a worm and some cat hair...here let me tell you what tastes good.... 😂. Just playing, thanks for the video yet again! Such a beautiful fish!
😂 thanks for watching brother!
Love this video. The African Pompano is still my largest keeper fish to date. Almost 42lbs on the scale just S of Sombrero lighthouse.
Is that the one directly off sugarloaf ?
thats a hell of a fish!
@@angeloc3842 off the southern side of Marathon key. You can see the lighthouse from Sombrero beach.
Phenomenal Second Pompano! Nice shot. Some day I will get down there to charter with you....
sometimes I get lucky! and I look forward to it!
Finally 1st @ winning 🙌 killer as always brother
2nd..3rd…4th…5…6…7….
haha thanks for watching!
Incredible Thumbnail!
James knows his stuff!!!
Great video thanks for sharing
glad you enjoyed it!
You gut them in the water hahahaha you truely have balls!!!!
too much discovery channel! lol nothing happens when I gut in the water
#532 really nice pompano dude I have never seen Florida pompano near that big .. anyway glad to see you’re picking up a few more subs and I will talk to you soon brother peace ✌️
we se some big ones time to time! slowly getting there thanks so much for watching!
Cheri said she would like an African pompano Arron. Great video 📹 Sir.
haha one of the hardest fish to find! but im happy to give it hell!
Liked this video 👍🏽🇻🇮
I do appreciate it!
Love to hear the F18s !
Absolutely!!!
AP’s are a dream fish for me never seen them but almost every video I see they are on wrecks. When you were diving that wreck was their any current and how do you handle diving wrecks with current because I’ve tried before and most of the times I’m doing 1 drop and already at the end of the wreck. Awesome vids again !!!
they are kind of a random species to be honest, most of the places I see them consistently are deeper spots, 100 ft or more. and if there's a lot of current we just drift them. none on this day!
AP is my favorite raw fish, we eat a lot of tuna and wahoo but AP is where its at. Plus its extremely versatile to cook with. Love seeing those swimming mirrors.
I agree! always happy to have them come aboard!
Cero Mac is good raw too
U the man!!
nah!
AP are so cool looking, like a GT. I'd love to catch some and try them.
one of the coolest looking fish out there!
Awesome video. Would love to try AP raw
Def gotta if you get the chance!
AP’s taste great. Nice!
they sure do!
Ap and wahoo are my two favorite for sashimi, surprised youve never had AP raw
always done wahoo raw! we dont get aps a whole lot to be honest! was very impressed with it!
awesome shot
Thanks for watching!!!
@@KeyWestWaterman I watch every single of your episodes Brother keep going. Kudos.
I like AP Almaco and cobia a lot. Wahoo is top notch but the only one I got was with you last year and I enjoyed every bit I kept for myself raw. Slipper lobster is a good mix if I’m making a sample tray up.
all 3 good eats! and I remember that like it was yesterday! I wish we saw more slippers I've only caught maybe a half dozen in my life!
Good to know thank u
thanks for watching!
@@KeyWestWaterman I always will
Wow nice big ole african pompano!!!
Love em!!
Love AP any wat you cook it or not cook it Lol Wahoo Love it ! you starving The Fatman stranded in New Mexico for some Freshy Feesh!
haha it sure is incredible! thanks for watching brother!
I believe ya on the the African Pomp but every fiber in my body says give the Wahoo every single time. And I mean 1000% of the time. When you are raised on something and it is the cream of the crop its gonna be very hard to change my mind. I do believe that A Pomp is surely good but I will stick with my tried and true absolute fave Wahoo! Nice to know that its comparable though. WAHOO is still the king to me!😎👍👍
lol they are both very high on my list!!!
Hey there! Thank you for sharing. I was wondering, how long can you hold your breath for? I can barely hold 40secs so I just spear fish in 20ft water 🤣
lol an average dive is only a 1:15 or so for me!
Nice shootin'! A belly shot on those things - chaos ensues. Good call on getting rid of the blood/guts asap and brining it! The only time I thought it was pretty good was as a soup. They nasty when you try and cook em like a snapper.
haha they are strong ones! I love them all around!
Great Video. Can you share the gloves you are waring?
Honestly the name is worn off them. I buy them from a local store called cudjoe sales. Pretty sure they are just your basic cut resistant dyneema gloves.
Seriously amazing looking fish and always thanking the fish is a class move … so why the insistence on chilling the wahoo sashimi?
truly is an amazing fish! and if its not chilled long enough its very chewy, the meat has to "relax" before its sashimi grade in my opinion
You should do a video on how you started your charter business
I thought about it but there's so much to cover there! i'll try if I can!
👍🏼.
thanks for watching!
That's the first time I've seen anyone get a shot at a Pomp!!
We don’t see them a ton! But a welcome sight!
Pair it with soy sauce and lemon too 😁
Oh yea!
as always great vid but pompano???? I guess I gotta try it!!
top 5 favorite fish for me! gotta try one if you can find one!
👊👊👊🙏👊👊👊
thanks for watching!
I can give you a little advice. Doing the thing on the brain this is old man the Old fart hahaha take care bro
haha thanks for watching!
Def prefer my sashimi sans cat hair!!!😆
😂
Aron* was that a new speargun or new spear shafts?? You don’t have to answer that😂:-)
lol
Ok Aron * I had a brain fart. I was asking if the box on the porch, leaning against the right door. Was a shipment of new shafts or a new gun. Thank you for sharing and answering my questions.
which fish tastes better,pompano or wahoo?
ill be honest that's a hard call! sashimi I think African may take it, cooked wahoo. but we are talking the greater of two goods. really hard to say
I'm curious about the reason for slicing the fish gills and bleed it.
Improves meat quality!
Excuse my ignorance, is that amount of blood capable of attract sharks or is a myth?
@@aurelioarenas6293 there are sharks everywhere. Yes it can attract them but blood doesn’t turn sharks into violent man eaters like mainstream media likes to portrait.
Great footage, enjoy your content. No mater on how you edit it. And remember… pets are not only a fashion statement, they are most often a condiment .
lol appreciate that and ill be honest I have no idea what that even means!
Are you breathing underwater with your snorkel ??
no holding my breath
Is bleeding the fish to be humane, or is there another reason.
braining is to be humane, bleeding is to improve the quality of the meat
Gotta watch for parasites in raw fish do a cleansing once a year
I’ll be alright!
@@KeyWestWaterman just look into bud it's a thing.. love the content keep em coming.. from marathon 🤙
May hit you up for a trip with the fam some day you guys are good stuff just found ya the other day..
The African Pompano looks like there is a lot of meat on the head....are the cheeks or collars worth messing with? I wonder if you made fumet out of it and used it to make ramen noodles.....
Oh.....the smoked belly looks so good.....thin sliced on a toasted baguette, with a drizzle of chili oil, a smear of mayo, and some drips of lime juice.....
I wish I was your neighbor.......I'd be over begging all the time.....
yup the collars are great as well! have not cooked a whole head from them, its not a fish we get very often! and yup we put the smoked fish on breakfast bagels sometimes as well! lots of good uses for it!
clean that beard up lol
lol no way the miss loves it!
That looks like it is not African pompano it is kagami
Different places call them different things
Kinda weird when these fish come up to you so friendly and engaging and then get their heads blown off! Something doesnt seem right about that picture. Just stating a fact😵
lol
Hunting without hunting. I do this while elk hunting. Don’t act act like a predator and you can get a lot closer.
Works like a charm!
I caught a small one kayak fishing 2 miles from Anclote key fishing a reef
That’s pretty cool
