Thanks for sharing and for not being greedy and leaving enough life at the bottom for others to enjoy. I hope others follow suit.
really appreciate that! I try not to take more than I need if I can help it!
Although I like some of your videos, you should be ashamed to plant your fins on that D Strigosa coral and pull on the fish. Everywhere you crushed the coral polyps, they will die, It leaves a wound open for all of the bacteria and disease that has killed almost ALL of our brain corals. I was suprised to see some live brain coral. In Key Largo almost all of our brain corals are dead from Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD). You are young. I have been scuba diving for 60 years. The age comment is regarding whatever you think is OK with the reefs.
What a beautiful place Aaron no wonder you love it so much. Cheers from down under 🦘🦘🦎
it truly is incredible! cheers!
Aaron, thanks for responding to your subscribers comments!
Definitely makes it more personal, and that's what we want!
Peace out!
Jerry
of course! love chatting with you guys!!
This was by far your best Video...Congrats on living life your way.....
really appreciate that! and its finally to that point! lol took my 7 years but its all paid off!
I tried to preach to the council on how well the sanctuaries are down in the Keys. They definitely become a place for the fish to hang out with no pressure. I love spearfishing but its really nice to see those.
they are great for the populations!
@@KeyWestWaterman its the only management plan that has worked
Love your work. Mike &Lori are my new neighbors. Good Folks. They lived at the park for a few years. Don't Grow tired of doing Good 🙏
glad you enjoy the vids! thats awesome! I most certainly will not!
@@KeyWestWaterman Right On 👍
Looks like an awesome trip. Great video...looking forward to that korean collar 🌮 video!!
it was indeed! and they honestly turned out great! can't wait to get the video out!
One of the best video man keep doing it am enjoying it a lot especially on my lunch break 👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙 jajaja
haha hell yea happy to hear it!
Glad you enjoyed your trip. Great fishing.
we sure did! thank you!
Love the respect you give to the fish and the land. DTNP is a national treasure!
really appreciate that! and definitely is! love it out there!
Just absolutely fantastic. Some of your best work. I loved how you added the underwater narrative. The slight echo gave it a “ in your head” feel that made me feel like I was there. Your advice on where you can fish and where you can’t was informed and coming from a place of conservation. Great to see. The safety tips about letting your gun float up so you don’t get wrapped up might very well save somebody’s life one day. Incredible job!!! 5 stars!!!
thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! keeps me moving forward and wanting to make better videos! really appreciate it!
Love the cometary! Keep it coming
definitely going to! thanks for sharing!
Hello, as a Minnesota fisherman, and a few times in the ocean fishing, most recentetly off Maderias Beach area, and not really having a professional guide, even the few we caught HOG FISH, FLOUNDER, GROUPER, but all of average eating size.....it was so fun, but Man, when I watch a professional like you, I get so amped up to get back on the Ocean again someday next Winter. You, Your Crew, Madeline, and Tipsy are one of the neatest and coolest group of people Ive ever seen on FB.....Thank you for sharing your incredible skills and knowledge, as it truly fuels my desire to someday have a boat similar to yours and go out and live this incredible passion of deep sea fishing. You rock my friend, please keep em-coming brother, IM HOOKED!! PUN INTENDED....

Awesome vid!! I used to crew on both the Yankee Freedom and Sunny Day Cats to Ft. Jefferson years ago. Amazing place! New to the Channel...Love it!
thats awesome! love it out there! welcome to the channel hope you hang around!
Nice spot to do a commercial grouper run for sure...
it definitely would be!
Beautiful video!!! Love watching your stuff. Also, when you're spearfishing and you talk us through what is going on and what you are thinking - it is super helpful!!! Thank you!!!
thanks for the feedback! glad you enjoy the commentary! going to be doing much more of it!
I have to say out of everyone on UA-cam you are the smallest but the best u are a real guy doing real guy things. I fish out of Islamorada and fish everglades national park I use a Hawaiian sling and shoot some hogfish on some structure out of Islamorada but I want to start free diving deeper. I really learn from your videos and learn to slow down my shot and come in closer. Keep doing what ur doing ur vids are sick.
I really do appreciate that! keeps my wanting to make more and more vids! trying to do my best to entertain and educate! lots more vids to come!
I'm glad you are giving all the information to people about the boundaries and rules and regulations in this video. The saying knowledge is power definitely applies to the Keys and the sanctuaries throughout the state of Florida. Incredible and informative video with an awesome national treasure. The Dry tortugas are one of my favorite spots. Hopefully you got some night footage of the night sky while you were there. Once again I always look forward to your videos. Be safe and thank you
POST MORE PLEASE!!!!
working on it I promise! lol
Great show! Amazing! Thank you for bringing us with you 👍
thanks for coming along!
Really appreciated how you let the 2nd big gag swim, thought that was a cool move! Making me jonezzz for the Keys, thanks!
they were black groupers not gags, but we had plenty with the one fish! no reason to take more than we can handle!
As usual....Kick ass dude!!!
thank you!
Man thats my dream holiday (lifestyle!!) spent a lot of time working on boats out of Lauderdale but now I'm living in Sweden ... love it here but I so miss the real ocean!! Great vids ... keep it up my man!
I have no complaints! thanks so much for watching!
Best spearfishing video i've ever seen
haha thats awesome! happy to hear it!
Looked like an amazing day! That Grouper was a boss! 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
one I will never forget!
Love the way you communicate with us. You'll be chartering me. Gotta tell ya though I am big into spearfishing. The vid of you catching the sword fish had me excited!!
happy to hear it! thanks so much for watching and taking the time to share!
Dibbs, you killed it again 👏 in all aspects. Awesome, hope to be down in keys in December .})))))))>
thank you sir!!!
Awesome video 👍🏻👍🏻
thank you!
I Really enjoyed the voice over on the video.... i subbed.
appreciate the sub!!!
Compared to other UA-cam spearfishermen, you've got one of the best shots, even with that not-so-ideal grouper shot. Consistent stone shots! Keep killing it out there!
I tell everyone I dive with that struggles with accuracy to slow down their shots. a rushed shot is worse than no shot! patience! appreciate the kind words brother!
Rewatching videos ,very enjoyable
Amazing content as usual brother!
You are a great hunter!!!
really appreciate that! I try to be!
Great fish man
thanks brother!
Awesome video!
thank you!
I moved from Naples to Kodiak a little over a year ago. Used to fish the Tortugas in the early 90's right outside the boundary. Only time I ever caught 10+ lb. mangs back to back to back.... The silvers (Coho salmon) will be running soon up here. You should come up and make a vid or twelve. As usual, well made video with excellent content.
That’s amazing wish i could Have fished it back then!
Great video I watch all of them
glad you enjoyed it!
Just found your channel and subbed. Love the hunter gatherer lifestyle, and overnighting at the Tortugas is a bucket list item for sure. Well Done!
welcome! glad you like the channel! I do appreciate it!
Awesome video
thank you!
That hog fish eating is sick
right?!? I totally geeked out when I saw that! thought it was super cool!
Another great video really like the narration keep it up
thank you!!
I am a new subscriber but I absolutely love your videos I can’t stop watching them! I want to start spearfishing because of you. Maybe do a kit review on whats your most important gear?
happy to hear it and appreciate you taking the time to share! I have an older video where I go over all my gear I keep with me in my bag!
My spearfishing dreams in one video
haha mine too!
Killer black man, hope to get out with you again shortly!
thanks brother! I look forward to it!
That red grouper turned white immediately 😲
a swift end!
Man i love these vids!!! Nice catch , Always make me want to eat fish at the end of your videos!!! LOL Keepem coming !!
Will do happy to hear you enjoy them!!!
Awesome trip! Great grouper
One i will never forget!
I went to pulley ridge over Memorial weekend & we had an epic trip. It was rocky at first but then it settled down to flat calm. It was beautiful out there
Stuff of legends!
thanks for watching sir!
We went to Ft Jefferson in April with some friends.Absolutely awesome place. Will be going back as soon as we can. My heart races every time I watch your videos. I was wonder how long you can hold your breath for just sitting, not in the water? I'd imagine in the water swimming it's about half the sitting time? 80 ft deep is unreal. Just starting to practice with holding my breath. Started at 1:30 up to 2:15 in two weeks, but I'm old. lol I don't want to be a bother, I know you're busy. Only if you have time, I know in another year or so your subscribers will explode and you won't be able to answer questions. Either way you have a great channel. Thanks for sharing....
It really is an awesome place! And that’s amazing so happy to hear that! It’s honestly been a while since I’ve done a static breathe hold (sitting still) if i had to guess maybe 4 mins. Not the diver i used to be! And that’s pretty good! Gotta start somewhere it’ll just get better and better!
That was insane dude talk about great lungs
haha make me feel like I still got it!
Nice Grouper , and excellent dive ufffff
thank you!
Congratulations on that grouper and an epic trip! Never tried trigger fish ceviche but will next time I get one!
it was actually really good! won't be letting those triggers pass by any longer!
Family time any day any time priceless that's the American way the right way the god way
amen to that! thanks for watching!
Quite a trip Aaron for the first day.....That's quite a bottom spot and with that much life you probably have it to yourself!!
it was incredible! don't have too many spots like that ill be keeping that one to myself for sure!
Bingeing your content. Great video.
haha love it! happy to hear it!
This is what i call a good life
I agree! thanks for watching!
One the greatest places on earth. I could live in the marquesas and dry tortugas.
really is awesome out there
THANK YOU, THANK YOU,THANK YOU !!!
Thanks for watching!!
Hey Cap, always dreamed of going to the Tortuga's. Have studied it wit a bit. Largest brick structure in the world!
Great video, just subscribed.
Left a comment on your commercial dive and 💰 break down and going that to be very informative!
Thanks for what your doing, gonna do some binge watching of you channel tonight! Lol
Keep up the good work,
much love, God bless, stay safe,
I'm out,
Jerry Durham, NC
its amazing down there definitely gotta go!
Hey Aaron, I just checked out your charter website. The gallery is sick!
Quick question, you half days are
mostly $750/4hrs.
Does that time start when you get on the boat, or get to the grounds?
In guessing over you get to the grounds.
Just let me know.
Thanks dude, gonna start saving my money for a 2021 spring trip. Lol!
Thanks, stay safe,
Jerry
You have become my hero bro 💪I love your peace ✌. Hopefully one day I can go dive with you, would be a 🙌
love too hear you enjoy the vids!
Lived here 3 years and never been soon if my boy Lance can get that island runner 🏃♂️ a bladder :) great video man I am set up to edit and render 4k if you ever want to get some killer quality going .
haha you gotta get out there! actually have a buddy of mine helping with the editing right now but I appreciate it!
Uncle Dibs you make some great videos
Glad you enjoy them!!
Awesome vid and dang what a stud grouper! What pitch props are you running on the 150’s? They seem to push the boat surprisingly good!
thanks for watching! and they are 15 four blades. she's slow and steady no speed demon. definitely going with at least 200's next go round
Key West Waterman I heard that! I went with Suzuki 300’s on my 25 open. Little heavy in the back but It performs very well. Thinking about the new Mercury V8 300’s for my next set. The weight difference would be a game changer I think.
Very nice content! Thank you
glad you enjoy it!
I learn so much,thanks
Thanks for watching!
Man I love that place!!!!!!!
me too!!
Awesome video bro I miss commerical fishing you make me want to get back into it .I was a commerical Fisherman in Alaska and here in homosassa fla.
