Robert arrington's a great dude I watch both channels collaboration would be awesome but both your channels are already awesome
He is an idiot.
really appreciate that! it would do wonders for my channel and allow me to spend more time making content for you guys which is my ultimate goal!
@@peterk814 how come?
Hey Kay West, really enjoyed your videos and got my friends and I to subscribe to your channel already!! It would be a awesome if you and DMFD both have a video together!
I’m from the Northern Marianas Island “Saipan” I met Mr. Robert and got to say hi before he went back to Florida!!
@@peterk814 What you say is what you are!!! Deer Meat for DinnerRobert Carrington is awesome! So is Aaron. You're jealousy is showing!
DeerMeat was live last week. I suggested it MULTIPLE times!!! Keep it up man!!! My whole family loves your videos!!!
you da man! thanks so much and happy to hear you guys like the vids!!!
will definitely help put a bug in Mr "deer meats" ear on his next videos. You deserve some more attention for sure. Great personality and awesome videos.
Dude is a clown. Why would you recommend this bullshit
really appreciate it!
getting that reaction from a couple people, I understand not everyone likes everybody but there's no denying his channel is the standard for outdoor channels right now! at the end of the day the more exposure my channel gets the more of these videos I can make and the more I can give back to my subscribers which is my goal!
@@KeyWestWaterman I think it’ll give you the wrong type of exposure. Rob is a fraud. If you’re from bumblefuck USA you probably believe half the crap he spews. You as someone who spends their life making a livelihood on the ocean is devalued by people like rob. What’s mean to be portrayed as reality through his channel is a farce. The guy behaves abusively to his wife and his skills as a fisherman are sub standard.
@@peterk814 100% true! I am so glad people are waking up to this FRAUD.
Hi captain, man I have been fishing in the gulf for 50 years and you’re the best diver that I’ve ever seen! Love your situational awareness in and out of the water. Glad to see you had Gabe on a little while back. I have shared your channel with anyone who will listen. While my wife was getting her cancer treatments I had all of the staff watching every day. Keep up the great work! Love y’all!!!
really love to hear you enjoy the channel and thanks for the kind words! thanks for sharing the word and hope you're wife beats the C word! take care 🙏
Great stuff Aaron. Dude you don’t need deermeat for dinner, we subscribers watch cus who you’re doing real & simple not all that commercialize stuff. Keep up the great work my friend. 👍🙏🇨🇺
really appreciate that and thanks for watching!
I agree. I like you multiples better!
The commercial fishing videos are the ones I like the most! Keep up the great work! 👌😁
love to hear it!
Mr. Young your great on your on. I enjoy everyone of your shows, Thank You !!!!!
thank you! glad you like them! more on the way!
You are one of the most responsible fisherman I have seen, period! Thank you for the videos. The days we can not go, I really enjoy seeing your videos. My 2 sons love your videos as well. Thanks for being and remaining a great role model for the future generations! Tight lines!
I try to be when I can! really appreciate that and glad you guys like the vids! doing my best to set what I think is a good example. thanks again and stay tuned!
I was a commercial spear fisherman for many years in the Florida keys I owned a unlimited snapper grouper permit and let me tell you fishing for a living is extremely hard but to fish and video what you do is crazy so I feel you brother and keep up the good work. 🙏
it really is! I don't think people understand how hard of work it is to do it full time! I def wouldn't be able to!
One of the best spear fishing and all around fishing videos on you tube in my opinion. Thank you for your videos, for the channel.
Glad you like them! and appreciate that! thanks for watching and sharing!
Awesome footage again....some big cobia and thats one fish that needs its own respect when you put a spear in them...cant wait for the next one🤙
haha they sure are! def give you a run for your money! thanks for watching!
Having haters is a good thing, that means you have gotten popular enough to attract all personalities. Great video.
yea it comes with the territory! doesn't bother me at all just try to educate when I have the opportunity !
Abosolutely! Don't worry about haters✌
i like your comercial videos most. keep em coming.
Thanks, will do!
just started watching your channel about a month ago. WOW! i am totally in your corner about what you do and how you do it- AND never back up or down to those that try to disrespect your what and how- ever. the only thing i suggest is they are the ones you would/should never vote for. i've been to key west 3 times in about the last 5/6 years and wish i had seen or known of your being because i suspect i would have done a charter with you. 78 year old texan who is unable to spearfish due to some medical issues but am capable of rod and reeling with the best of them. if i'm fortunate to get back i will definitely try to book what i would consider a charter of a lifetime. keep doing what you love to do and do it as safely as you can.
really do appreciate the kind words! can't thank you enough for the support! and so happy to hear you enjoy the channel!
OH WOW!!!! I LOVE YOUR SWORD TAIL TREE!! THAT'S COOL!!
haha me too!
He just explain everything so smooth
lol happy you think so! def working on it!
Most people who complain about commercial fishing are sports fisherman that want to sell their catch. You are 100% correct when you stated if it wasn't for commercial fishing a lot of people would not access to seafood. So, keep doing what you do, and be proud of it.
that or people who just don't know any better! really appreciate it!
Pucker factor of 10 on that dive. Wow.
hahaha!
Am not even reading the negative comments. Spearfishing is one of the most sustainable way to catch fish because you catch 1 fish at a time, with permitted size and always fish that are big enough to have already reproduced. Be sure that you are a pretty ethic fisherman. Nice video, good visibility and great cobias.
for sure! I really appreciate that! thanks for watching and sharing!
wow those diving conditions are insane. DREAM SPEARIING TRIP RIGHT HERE !!!!
was incredible!
Honestly, you’re doing a great job. As far as the few negative comments you get, ignore them; not even worth mentioning. We love your videos, very entertaining and educational. God bless.
really appreciate the feedback! thanks for watching!
Thats insane brother! Keep it up!
appreciate it! thanks for watching brother!
@@KeyWestWatermannice video i love your speargun im intrested in one im in Jamaica im also a spear fisherman please message me 876475-2162
Your are absolutely my favorite channel. I just started Freediving and Spearfishing, learned a lot just by watching your gear breakdown vids not to mention the sick content.
really happy to hear that! keeps me going!
I love the way you harvest fish. There is ZERO by-catch. There are no shorts being gut hooked and you dispatch the fish as fast as possible. Keep doing what you do. A fan from Lighthouse Point, FL.
its the reason I do must of my commercial trips with spearguns if I can! thanks for watching and taking the time to share!
People have been catching and selling fish since time began. Thank God for the fisherman. Keep the great video coming.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
You are super cool and humble.
keep it going!
really appreciate that! thanks for watching!!
So nice video !!! I understand how it's hard to be a commercial fisherman because I'm one. You know when it is really rough you juste want to keep sleeping !!
amen! it really is tough! most will never understand! there's a good reason I don't do it full time! lol
@@KeyWestWaterman Yes it is so hard but in the same time all real fisherman love fishing and it is so good to catch some fish
yea, I like this kind of commercial fishing, selective, and not destructive. Keep up the great work.
glad you enjoyed it! thanks so much!
Hey there Aaron. I am a native Floridian 42 years old. I would love to say that I am an avid outdoorsman unfortunately circumstances don’t allow me to be at the moment. But I do live vicariously through you guys which I greatly greatly appreciate. I have been watching outdoor shows my entire life. I have been diving with my father since the age of 9. God rest his soul. And I have been watching “Deer meat for dinner”for I would say going on about 4,5 years now. Less more lately I find myself leaning more towards “Bluegabe”His personality just seems to fit mine a little more. Which is actually the one thing everybody seems to have a problem with. But personally I think people just need to loosen up and get a sense of humor for the most part. Not to say anything negative about good old “Deer Meat” he’s still the OG as far as I’m concerned. Can’t take that away from him. Plus he’s just downright good people. Ya dig? But I mainlyjust wanted to say hi enjoy your show equally as much as both of theirs. In the same way that I get a certain thing from watching “deer meat for dinner”. I get from watching “Bluegabe” and urself. Don’t ask me what that thing is because I wish you would tell me so then we both would know. Sorry lol.but whatever it is I know it is filled with education, positivity,and motivation. and well as far as I’m concerned you are just downright good people. And I don’t know about you but I could never ever have enough goodness in my life. Just sayin. Oh and FYI I didn’t start watching your show because of “Bluegabe”I had already became a fan of yours independently of him it just so happened I was watching an episode of “Key west watermen”And up pops “Bluegabe”and “Kelly Young” Whitch tells me that I am on the right track and should confirm that for you as well. All three of you are amazing outdoorsman in your own right and of course there are other outdoor shows that I watch on UA-cam.but you guys I would say are definitely without a doubt my main staple. Pretty much 90% I would say. Another thing I’ve been wondering since before I even seen the episode with “Bluegabe”on your show is where the heck is the “Kelly Young”& “Madison”episode🤔 just saying. and I am positive I am not the only person wonderingthat I think they would get along great and there personality seems like they would mesh very well. But anyways sorry for the long comment just wanted to reassure you that you are headed in the right direction keep doing what you can do on your end and I’ll do what I can on my end as far as liking and sharing and commenting if I can. Keep on living your best life brother. God bless you. Have fun and be safe out there
thanks so much for the feedback and glad you enjoy the videos! Madeleine and Kelly will make a video eventually for sure! every time they've been down Madeleine has been busy with work so they haven't been able to. really appreciate the support and ill see you on the next one!
I Agree with what you said. if there weren’t commercial fisherman, no one would eat fish! good shot selection on those brown sharks too
its true! and thanks! we had a ton of fun!
I started watching his videos a long time ago and he kind of changed went more commercial . Then I found your channel and I really enjoy your channel much better it's not so commercialized and I really enjoy the narrating keep up the good work
really love to hear it! thanks so much for tuning in!
Another great video. Spearfishing is by far the most sustainable way if fishing. I've done it for forty years as recreational now and still love it!!
thats awesome! hopefully I get to do it that long!
Great video, loved all the content, your rant about harvesting treasures from the deep was great, hopefully you will continue making these videos 👏 tight line's and bloody decks 👊👍🎣🐟🐟🐟
I have no plans to stop! thanks so much for watching!
As always great video and love the comment tell them i sent you but you'll pay full price but the fish will be fresh. Keep up the great work and be safe out there ny friend
haha! I tend to make terrible jokes from time to time! thanks for watching!
I commercial fished down here for the first time this winter and appreciated your comments. Had a blast and would love to get together with you some time. Unfortunately I head North Tuesday to fish for the summer but I'll be back in October. Keep up the good work. Capt Jim, Plumber's Helper Charters Service
Awesome video! Definitely like seeing the break down from selling the fish to market.
thanks for the feedback! glad you enjoyed!
One of my favorite channel.......I don't understand how anyone who really watches what you do can say you are not a responsible fisherman. I call it selective fishing!!!!
love to hear that! 🙏 people will be people!
Definitely would be awesome to see you and DMFD collaborate. You two are my favorite UA-camrs, along with his brother BlueGabe. You should try to collaborate with the latter first, he might be easier to reach and he and his girlfriend are avid spear fishermen!
really appreciate that! and ill have to give Gabe a look! haven't seen any of his stuff!
@@KeyWestWaterman Definitely check him out. I feel like a collab between Gabe and yourself would turn out just as good if not better than with DMFD. Blue Gabe does an amazing job and is an absolute legend in his own right.
I hope that Aaron invites you out on the boat sometime for giving him this very successful idea! Can you believe it came to fruition? Kudos!
@@tonyclark4954 ..and done!
@@ziradee Dudeee right, I was so PUMPED when I first saw BlueGabe's video with Aaron! Honestly, just so happy to see such a genuine and hard-working person get the publicity he deserves. I'm definitely going to save up and try to book a charter with Aaron at some point in time... maybe next Christmas, present to myself haha!
Looked like so much fun
it was a blast!!!
You’re the man! Haters gonna hate but people want there fish. Keep up the good work
haha amen! I don't let it bother me but if its an opportunity to educate one person then it was worth my time! thanks for watching!
Awesome job again Aaron. Don't let the trolls bother you,they hate themselves to begin with. Just Rambo comments anyway. Can't wait to go with you in August, let me know, Sir.
haha really appreciate it sam! look forward to may!
The biggest problem I had with UA-cam was finding your channel. I was like "where's that blue collar guy in the Florida Keys who fishes and dives commercially by himself?"
So glad I found you again.
DMFD has nothing on you.
This is the working man's channel.
Subbed and liked it all
Cheers.
Randy in Vancouver BC.
haha really appreciate that! just trying to show enjoy my time here and share a little bit while im doing it! thanks for watching!
Best channel ever!
really appreciate that!
I ❤️ your commercial fishing videos. Especially when you do the cost breakdown.
happy to hear it! gonna keep them coming!
New mercs looking good bro.. sick video also.. we got the cobes ganged up here in Sebastian right now
absolutely love em! and thanks for watching! love shooting cobia its always a riot!
Deer meat would do well to friend you . Yes he is very busy. I love your site . You’re very respectful. Many sites I will not follow . Good luck 👍
really appreciate that and thanks for sharing!
Spearfishing Jedi master. You have amazing self-control in some stressful situations. I got CG orders to Key West this summer. Can’t wait to copy all the stuff you do.
haha that is awesome! you're gonna love it!
and thank you always for your honesty....
Always!
That was awesome! Really great advice on entering the field of commercial fishing. Anyone bashing what and how you do what you do is simply ignorant of the tremendously wasteful practices of typical commercial fishing. Haters are gonna hate but it is great you reach out in an attempt to educate.
glad you enjoyed it! thanks so much for watching!
New subscriber here. I love your channel. Spearfishing is by far the most responsible version of commercial fishing. Cool videos!
welcome! glad you enjoy the vids! thanks so much for watching!
@@KeyWestWaterman thanks for the great content! Looking forward to watching more videos!
Awesome explanation regarding your type of commercial fishing. A far cry from the long liners or drag netters.
indeed! and happy to thanks for watching!
Been a subscriber for the past year, enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work.
really appreciate it! more to come!
Love the commercial fishing aspect keep up the good work
glad to hear it! more on the way!
Sweet... love some cobia on the grill!
one of my favorites!
Chill, humble and, entertaining guy.. subscribed!

People complain about you comercial vidios but people like to go to restaurants and eat fresh fish I have a lot respect for you y a you educate a lot of people keep doing what you doing you are great fishermen
yup! its something they never think about, I like to share perspective when I can! thanks so much for tuning in.
The commercial ones are my favorite!
trying to keep them coming!
I will never forget the first 2 cobia I shot.I stoned the first but the second one was to quick and it almost pulled my arms off.they both weighted 40 plus pounds.Great video.
haha they will whoop you but if you don't stone them!
I like the commercial fishing side of your videos, great job !
its alot of fun! don't do it nearly as much anymore.
You’re awesome man, best of luck
thank you! really appreciate that!

Great channel, I respect what you do and how you do it. Keep living the dream brother!
really appreciate that! thanks for sharing!
Awesome as always.👍
thank you!
Amazing video! Keep up the great work! Watch all your videos as soon as they drop.
really appreciate that! helps a ton! trying to keep more coming more consistently!
Absolutely love your spear fishing videos! If I ever come to the keys I’m definitely gonna look you up for a charter
really appreciate that! and thanks for watching!
Awesome video as usual. Keep making that living from the vast ocean!

Love your videos. Thank you for the great footage.
really appreciate that brother! thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the video as always. Keep it up!
thank you!
wow killer, you guys are blessed down there
we really are!
YES GREAT VIDEOS AND So happy found ya channel You know how to do vids so many on youtube need to follow your lead
glad you enjoy them! really appreciate it!
Really like the commercial break downs keep it up.
thanks for watching!
I will for sure do my (small) part in reaching out to deer meat for dinner! I´ve been following your channel for quite some months now and I´ve followed deermeat for at least 4 years and both of your channels are my chared nr.1 channels to go to when it comes to the great outdoors! Keep it up Key West Waterman, you´re amazing! Man I hope I can go on one of your charters some time in the future (I´m from Sweden..). Much love and best wishes, Oscar
happy to hear that and thanks for sharing! hope to have you out on the boat someday!
No doubt a good collaboration. I still watch your content though. Good stuff-it can only get better.
happy to hear it! thanks for tuning in!
You and DMFD would be an awesome combo and I’m sure it will happen in due time brother
never know worth a shot!
So stoking on your approach and humble attitude. Cobe's are my fave, tough to handle no matter hook n line or spear. Great job Aaron , a colab would be cool, but not needed...deer meat is ok, personally yours is way better. Time will show , you are on a path to success.
really appreciate the kind words! love to hear you enjoy the content!
I genuinely hope I get to dive with you one day thanks for sharing your knowledge with us stay safe 💪👍
hope to have you out some day! thanks for watching! really do appreciate it!
Aaron, Would love to see you two together! He may be on a different viewer level, but don't under estimate what you are branding locally in the Keys. Love your style, your approach, and your honest-strait forward to the catch/cook. BTY, my students still remember our seafood/spearfishing lesson and your video for the class!! Always appreciated. Stay humble..
really appreciate that and thats awesome! still using the knifes you sent! hope the kids enjoyed it!
@@KeyWestWaterman Good, I think I've seen a few of them in a few vids, keep em' sharp!.
I forgot to add an idea for you, WHEN you get "Mr. Deermeat", perhaps doing a catch & cook for the local needy or a good cause you're aware of. Think that would bring incredible experiences. Something to ponder... keep stickin' em..
@@ralphfreeman255 im ahead of ya! I’ve got something in the works along those lines but a much larger scale! Really appreciate the support and feedback!
@@KeyWestWaterman Glad to hear! I wish we were close, I'd send you a bunch of my culinary students to assist with the grunt work. Hummmm, maybe I could fly you up here with a cooler of grouper and feed the healthcare workers/first responders with a fish fry! You'd have to bring some of that salad you served with that wahoo a few episodes ago..
You are such a great steward of the sea,I love your videos and can't wait to watch them and you are the last person who should get any shit you are one of the only guys I watch the kills there fish soon as they can so no suffering.....you are a awesome person and keep up the great work!!!!
I try to treat fish the way I'd like to be treated! if i'm ever in their shoes I hope my captor gives me the same courtesy! thanks for sharing I really do appreciate it!
I lived for many years on Cape Cod, which has a long history harvesting the sea's bounty.
I worked at a seafood coop on the docks, in the wholesale department and in the retail store. Even had my own seafood store for a little over a year. Tough biz. Have done just a small amount of commercial fishing and shell fishing.
I never thought about the sustainability of commercial spear fishing before and I think you’re right about it being the most sustainable form of fishing because the diver is down there seeing the fish and choosing them individually , which no other form of fishing does. Everything from hand lining, to long lining, trawling, Gil netting, etc has no control over what is caught. Often with trawling, etc many different types of fish are caught and always there are ones that are not desirable, which are thrown back usually dead.
I’m not sure what people are objecting about your way of fishing. I assume they don’t have any idea of where their food comes from. Do a little research people. This guy is about as sustainable a fisherman as you’re going to find.
really appreciate that! and that was my goal of my rant. to hopefully educate at least one person or to help them see a little perspective meaning it wasn't a waste of breath! thanks for watching and taking the time to share!
Spear fishing is without a doubt the most humane and substantial fishery. I wish we had it here in Canada.
Couldn’t agree more!
Hell yea! Glad to see the cobia so thick! Means I got just a couple weeks till they start showing up here on the MS coast! Great video as always!
yea they were all over! it was awesome! don't see them that thick very often!
Enjoyed your videos brother I just hit the like an subscribe button cant wait to see the next one. I'm a fan of dmfd as well an I will comment on there for you brother
thanks so much! hope you stick around! more vids to come!
Yes sir I love your content when i was younger i used to fish alot I'm getting back into it now trying to teach my girls to love fishing
Awesome thanks for the vids
of course! thanks for watching!
When people don't know better they come with there negative comments you're doing great an always will keep it up nice to see another great video 👍👍👍👍
yup! thats why I don't let it get to me! most don't know better!
Don’t listen to the haters man. I love the commercial breakdowns. My dad was a commercial fisherman, and growing up around the water it made me appreciate the food that you eat and how it is collected. Keep up the awesome vids 🤙🏽
amen to that! most don't understand because they don't know! thanks for watching and sharing!
Great points on commercial fishing and bycatch! Being able to target and select the right sized and species of fish is awesome and you are protecting not just that resource but also all the other fish and sea creatures that could otherwise become bycatch!
Yup! its something not alot of people think about, but I see all sides of it doing what I do!
Tell them to watch out if a deer is swimming and you are there LOL. Enjoy your site my friend and yes I'm Sub you got me from the first one of your's I saw...
Haha welcome to the channel! Love it!
Unreal! Amazing cobia day.
def was!
Great videos keep the good work up for some reason I been watching your videos and i found out I was not subscribed but I am now an will hit that like button avery single time.. I comercial fish back home in Honduras utila cays people really don't know the meaning off the hard work we all put in just so they can have some fresh seafood..
really appreciate it! and you aint lying! people just see it come out on a plate and dont know the story!
You’re doing just fine Skipper !!!
I have no complaints!
Good fishing taknik
thanks for watching!
awesome channel. I live in Fl. I am one of the natives. I have never caught a Cobia. Someone else I was fishing with caught a 35 pounder following a sting ray. I have friends that would catch and release their tarpon tournament fish. On the back in through Tampa bay they would go from large marker to large marker to try to catch one. The sport utility fish Cobia.
YES!!!!! YOU ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED BLUE GABE AND KELLY YOUNG THAT IS HOW I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL
#MAKINGNOISE
I've watched just about all 121 videos on your channel multiple times keep killing it you're an inspection I've dreamed of becoming a charter captain born n raise in Miami but fish the entire state any chance I get. My favorite inshore fishing is definitely west coast (because I don't have a boat)
Love to hear it! Can’t thank you enough for tuning in!
Love the fact your videos are so down to earth, "real". Keep it simple and authentic and it will keep growing whether Robert Arrington joins in or not!!!!
really appreciate that! thats what im going for! going to keep making videos regardless!
You're a good fisher man..nice one
I just go more than most! thanks for watching!!
Bluegabe would be another good one!!
yea thats what everyone keeps saying! might have to reach out to him!
