Thanks Aaron for another wonderful underwater experience brought to life. Some of us are land bound not by choice. It’s good to be able to live vicariously through your shenanigans. Thank you.
Thanks for this video! I live in KW, been watching your videos and ran out and bought everything I need. I am absolutely not able to dive like you guys do. It's great to know there might be fish in my area of operation. I study you and others and really enjoy your videos. Been a long time since I was this excited about something. Thank you! Be well.
haha thanks awesome! sounds like you have the fire! I find a lot of great fishing the shallows just have to take the time and search and know where to look! hopefully my videos are educational for ya! thanks for watching!
Another excellent film produced by the best that’s all I can say. This was a total change from the first one which was a relief for someone like me went diving 60 feet in his dreams 15 feet is a reality for most people. Great show loved it.
AA ron, dont minimize going shallow. That's what me and my daughter and friends do...we are too old to go deeper. Great video, great narration!! Really good stuff. Thank you.
Love the commentary! I loved the video too but a bit disappointed you didn’t include the commercial breakdown. Thanks for keeping the videos coming. I’m looking forward to the next one.
So glad you released this footage. I'm new to spearfishing and will be doing most of my hunting in 10-15 feet of water. Seeing you shoot these fish in holes is really inspiring. I'll be doing a lot of hunting like this. I'll be using a 75cm gun. 🙏
That’s awesome man, videos are great. I live crystal river gulf coast and all I do up there is spearfish for gags in 3-5ft of water. Got a little 24in cave gun that works great. Sweet video, keep em coming, I love the keys!
Excellent educational video, thank you and just subscribed. Old Key West native here, moved to Miami and slowly migrated north to Palm Beach. Haven't snorkeled in years, the deepest I've done is only 35 feet but just rod and reel now. A few weeks ago my buddy and I did two days toward the Tortugas in 200-250 and we limited out on good snapper but lost every grouper but one in the rocks. Your vids show just where they went and make me want to get back in the water.
Found your channel beginning of this year haven't seen one video I haven't enjoyed!! One request I'd live to see some fish cleaning. To me that is one of my favorite parts fileting the catch. Looking forward to the next one.
@@KeyWestWaterman thank you I appreciate that. Earlier today I was watching some of Judah Clark's videos and saw an older wahoo Key's video and had a hunch he'd be with you and sure enough!!
That's a lesson I have learnt. Hunt at a dept where you are comfortable . Hunt well and you would get many fishes. While you learn to dive deeper and deeper. Thanks my brother.
Hello Aaron. Your videos are always very good, and I enjoy the all. I got myself a modified 110 speargun into inverted roller. Came out pretty nice a d planjng to test it soon. Thanks for the videos.
Very good points...had a grouper in a ledge..hit d light and it went crazy in there...well after this video lesson learnt!! But yeah shallow diving is really under rated...i got a 7lb dog snapper in less than 10ft..so yeah shallow spots are fruitful as u said..."know where to look".
Awesome trip! I was searching youtube for "Spear Fishing Key West" to see what I can find and this video popped up. I think many other fishing lovers out there would love to see th is kind of video, and many others I was looking at on your channel. Cheers to hoping youtube can recommend the videos to more spear fishing key west lovers out there. Cheers amigo!
Love all yours videos brother but the ones fishing in the mangrove and shallow waters are my favorite , i think is because i don’t see myself diving in 60,70+ ft of water God bless you and what you do
9 out of 10 times I'm coming up without a fish because I'm such a bad and new judge of size! LoL...it's killing me but there is no need to shoot undersized fish. The commentary is awesome...thank you.
Great video! Gives me hope after seeing you dive 80 foot lol also answered a lot of questions i had. Keep up the awesome content bro channel is going to blow up
I throughly enjoyed this one, Aaron. I recently found your channel and am loving it! Your passion for every aspect of fishing shows and is very well presented, informative and well done! 👏🏻👏🏻. I’m working my way through them…😊🐠
Great video, i love the shallow water diving , look forward to more videos like it, and also the commentary is pretty nice as well. It’s always a good thing to have the back story while watching the video. I know when I’m showing people videos i always have something to commentate lol. Keep doing your thing brother
@@KeyWestWaterman is it still good to come down there for lobster now ? between now and say October - November I have a 21 foot pontoon that we want to bring down someone referred me to cujo key your thoughts for a beginner.
Great episode Aaron. This one especially was helpful as it tells me there can be some legitimate spear fishing in shallow water for folks who cannot free dive like you. I know you charter spear fishing trips but would you consider taking on a charter specifically targeting shallow water and serve as an tutor? This would be for be for my son who is 19. Finally, I have several spear fishing and fishing you tube channels I subscribe to and yours is one of my favorites, not blowing smoke but truly appreciative of the content, just wish there was more but I understand you have competing responsibilities. Keep up the great work.
I know it’s not Monday, figured I’d treat myself 😂 crazy, 2 years ago, same ol Aaron genuine AF just not as fancy with the edit n gear. Hoping next week to get my small boat wrapped up and spend a weekend in the area shallow diving. It’s been my motivation to stop smoking lol.
Brother, you don’t have to reply but I want you to know that people see what kind of feller you are by doing so. Clearly a bad ass human keeping up with the boat, life, businesses, clearly Madeline. Lord knows she got to be running you ragged 😂. Love you guys!! Oh and Will to, he’s kinda cool for a yankee jkjk. Y’all kill it!!! Gotta pop over n give him some honky tonk soon 😂
God bless you! For your sneeze during the video:-) Have you ever shot a Goliath grouper under a coral head in a rocky cave. If not how do you tell the difference only seeing the head??
this footage must have been from a while ago because key west winds haven't been too nice recently. but love the video and i think its crazy that you pulled up as many fish as you did!
You're the shit man! You really care about what you hunt. I'll say it again. Rare to find, someone without the ego who just brags and lets the animal suffer. Rather than just throwing live stuff into the cooler or boat and letting it thrash and suffocate. You're not a hippy. That's the way it's supposed to be. Just because they're fish, doesn't mean they don't suffer. I hope more people learn from you!
really do appreciate the positive feedback! truly bothers me when people do that, I just hope if im ever in the same situation someone takes me out before they put me on ice!
That's amazing! Don't stop posting! Two questions for you: 1. Do you prefer to tight the dyneema straight to the shaft instead of the nylon thick line? 2. What diving watches are you guys using?
haha no plans to stop! and yes I tie straight to the shaft, never had any issues with it. im currently using a Suunto D4F just recently switch to it but I love it!
You mentioned that long breath holds are not necessary and I think I recall you saying in another video that you have not had formal training; so how long do you generally average your dives?
yes that is true I have not! and in the shallows like this you don't need much more than 20-30 seconds to be able to work efficiently! in the deep water my dives are only 1:10-1:30 on average
Another epic vid!! Came across your channel a few months and I love all your content. These spearfishing commentary vids are fantastic... please continue doing them! If you could post filleting videos or maybe fillet tips, would be nice! Either at the end of a vid or if you rather not do filleting in your vids, maybe a vid on its own where you could do all the classic/typical Keys catches? Grouper, maybe Mutton and/or Mangrove for Snappers, Jack, etc etc. I think it could be pretty cool. Anyways, great vid again and have a nice week.
Key West Waterman no matter how much time i take, i always seem to leave a bit of meat. Especially around the rib cage... if you ever incorporate filleting, pls offer a tip or two on how to feel and get around ribs without cutting thru 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 (

For you taking care of fish immediately I watched all of the commercials all the way through, liked, commented and shared.
I really appreciate that! helps more than you know!!!
in my experience sharks react much more to a fish that is still alive and kicking, than by blood in the water.
Thanks Aaron for another wonderful underwater experience brought to life. Some of us are land bound not by choice. It’s good to be able to live vicariously through your shenanigans. Thank you.
love to hear you enjoy them!
Can’t get enough of these videos man! New old they’re all great! The appreciation for what your doing and where your at is awesome!
love to hear it!
A d thank you for the lesson on the fish sizes...everything looks bigger underwater. Appreciate the lessons.

Looks like I'll have to bring my next date diving

Killer day! Thanks for the videos.
it was a great day, thanks for watching!
The info about pushing the shaft through the fish before pulling is great! Thanks that's going to help alot
haha I see it happen ALL the time with my beginner charters! just a little tip!
Thanks for this video! I live in KW, been watching your videos and ran out and bought everything I need. I am absolutely not able to dive like you guys do. It's great to know there might be fish in my area of operation. I study you and others and really enjoy your videos. Been a long time since I was this excited about something. Thank you!
Be well.

Always love watching your videos thanks for sharing them with us Aaron.
Glad you like them!
Man.. great video I'm out here fishing in the missouri river with 6 inch visibility and here you have all that clear water. Smh great video 🤙🤙
I feel your pain!
haha! glad I could help you get away for a bit!
Another perfect video. Answered more questions.
happy to hear that! thanks for sharing!
Nice luger and spit sound in the ear! It really gets me going! 😂😂😂
Love the commentary! I loved the video too but a bit disappointed you didn’t include the commercial breakdown. Thanks for keeping the videos coming. I’m looking forward to the next one.
just trying to keep a variety of videos coming! but thanks for taking the time to share!
More shallow water very cool and interesting
Glad you enjoyed it!
love the videos I look at all them
That makes me happy! glad you enjoy them!
Great video . The commentary helps a lot . The push the shaft forward tip is a good one it’s the opposite of a beginners instincts.
Happy to share it!!
So glad you released this footage. I'm new to spearfishing and will be doing most of my hunting in 10-15 feet of water. Seeing you shoot these fish in holes is really inspiring. I'll be doing a lot of hunting like this. I'll be using a 75cm gun. 🙏

thats awesome! hunting gags is good fun! glad you like the vids!

Tyler haha yup! Happy to be the guy to put him on his first! Was a sick day!
That's a lesson I have learnt. Hunt at a dept where you are comfortable . Hunt well and you would get many fishes. While you learn to dive deeper and deeper. Thanks my brother.
good advice! thanks for watching!

Fantastic video! When we move back home to South Florida next year, I'd love to hire you as a guide. Keep up the great work!
glad you like it! would be happy to take ya out! you know where to find me!
@@KeyWestWaterman Hell yeah! Have a great rest of the week!
Great video! Gives me hope after seeing you dive 80 foot lol also answered a lot of questions i had. Keep up the awesome content bro channel is going to blow up
haha still pull lots of great fish from the shallows. doing my best to be education and entertaining. thanks for sharing!

Really appreciate the kind words and thanks so much for watching them all!!
Nice video A A Ron. See you at Mr. Z's.
haha im well overdue for another philly! thanks for watching!

It’s always a good thing to have the back story while watching the video. I know when I’m showing people videos i always have something to commentate lol. Keep doing your thing brother
lol I love it! thanks for taking the time to share that, seems a lot of people enjoy the commentary!
Amazing video, keep it up
thank you! will do!
I did learn. Thanks.
glad to hear it!
Awesome video, now realizing that my brother and I have not been looking hard enough for grouper in these type of holes, thanks for the tips
yea they are very tricky! people often overlook them!
damn this is much better than cali spearfishing. water is so much clearer and more shallow with no waves.
not always this good but we can normally find a few fish!
Amazing work! Love the narrative and tips. Can you do a lobster video for us with commentary?
glad you like it! and yea I will give it a shot for sure!
@@KeyWestWaterman is it still good to come down there for lobster now ? between now and say October - November I have a 21 foot pontoon that we want to bring down someone referred me to cujo key your thoughts for a beginner.
Would love to see a video/tutorial of the hair/beard products you use
lmao!
Lots of fish oil!! ;)
HAHAHAHA...EPIC REQUEST, nice bids bro, keep up the good work and videos..
Wish I had shallow water spots like this 😪 love ur content
lots of time out there! love to hear it!
YOUR A BEAST
haha im just really really persistent!
Thank you
Great video!! Would like to see more shallow dive videos.
shallow water season is coming up!
Great episode Aaron. This one especially was helpful as it tells me there can be some legitimate spear fishing in shallow water for folks who cannot free dive like you. I know you charter spear fishing trips but would you consider taking on a charter specifically targeting shallow water and serve as an tutor? This would be for be for my son who is 19. Finally, I have several spear fishing and fishing you tube channels I subscribe to and yours is one of my favorites, not blowing smoke but truly appreciative of the content, just wish there was more but I understand you have competing responsibilities. Keep up the great work.
haha glad to hear it! and yea I would definitely be open to that kind of trip, no-one is born an expert so I love to help teach others when I can!
I know it’s not Monday, figured I’d treat myself 😂 crazy, 2 years ago, same ol Aaron genuine AF just not as fancy with the edit n gear. Hoping next week to get my small boat wrapped up and spend a weekend in the area shallow diving. It’s been my motivation to stop smoking lol.
😂 thanks so much for tuning in! this was an old one but was a super fun day!
Brother, you don’t have to reply but I want you to know that people see what kind of feller you are by doing so. Clearly a bad ass human keeping up with the boat, life, businesses, clearly Madeline. Lord knows she got to be running you ragged 😂. Love you guys!! Oh and Will to, he’s kinda cool for a yankee jkjk. Y’all kill it!!! Gotta pop over n give him some honky tonk soon 😂
I want to live this life!
Awesome video for us who can’t even contemplate going as deep as you normally do! Would you ever run a shallow water newbie charter?
haha that was my thought! and yes I've done plenty of them!
awesome video.
Quality Content !
Glad you enjoy it! thanks for watching
Good,thanks!!!
thanks for watching as always!
God bless you! For your sneeze during the video:-) Have you ever shot a Goliath grouper under a coral head in a rocky cave. If not how do you tell the difference only seeing the head??
haha thank you! and to me they just look so different, Goliath have tons of little black spots all over them. and are more green brown.
this footage must have been from a while ago because key west winds haven't been too nice recently. but love the video and i think its crazy that you pulled up as many fish as you did!
yea it was a little bit ago! was a killer day for the shallows though!
Sempre bons vídeos amigo. Abraço.
thanks for watching!
You're the shit man! You really care about what you hunt. I'll say it again. Rare to find, someone without the ego who just brags and lets the animal suffer. Rather than just throwing live stuff into the cooler or boat and letting it thrash and suffocate.

Two questions for you:
1. Do you prefer to tight the dyneema straight to the shaft instead of the nylon thick line?
2. What diving watches are you guys using?
haha no plans to stop!
and yes I tie straight to the shaft, never had any issues with it.
im currently using a Suunto D4F just recently switch to it but I love it!
@@KeyWestWaterman thank you brother! Looking forward to see more videos from you.
Good content🤙
glad you think so!
i know exactly wher ethose reef balls are at! lol great video my dude!
glad you enjoy them!
taking notes man..!
haha glad to hear it!
You mentioned that long breath holds are not necessary and I think I recall you saying in another video that you have not had formal training; so how long do you generally average your dives?
yes that is true I have not! and in the shallows like this you don't need much more than 20-30 seconds to be able to work efficiently! in the deep water my dives are only 1:10-1:30 on average
11:53 here in cali holding ur breathe for a long time is a must unless you wanna just catch small fry xd
we do lots of deep diving as well! most people would have trouble finding that amount of fishing the shallows
Another epic vid!! Came across your channel a few months and I love all your content. These spearfishing commentary vids are fantastic... please continue doing them! If you could post filleting videos or maybe fillet tips, would be nice! Either at the end of a vid or if you rather not do filleting in your vids, maybe a vid on its own where you could do all the classic/typical Keys catches? Grouper, maybe Mutton and/or Mangrove for Snappers, Jack, etc etc. I think it could be pretty cool. Anyways, great vid again and have a nice week.
for sure! really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and Ideas would be happy to incorporate more filleting into the vids!
