Sitting on the recliner sick, 1000 miles from there, but it feels like I’m on the boat with you! I hope the best for you, you’re a fortunate guy to do what you do for a living, when we work all our lives away just to do the same thing!

Thanks for a wonderful video captain. See I never see someone here in UA-cam telling about how much you make/spend and final results. That's give a idea for whoever's one or thinking to do this for living, I know that is a valuable info and for you to share is super. Thanks alot fish slaughter 😊😊😊🤿🤿 keep up the good work!
of course! just trying to keep it real! thanks for sharing and watching the vids!
My grouper season starts on June 1st. I am excited. They are in the shallows here (less than 20ft). Some under 10ft. We throw plugs, troll, and bottom fish for them. It's all I want to fish for. Maybe I'll dive for some this year
yup y'all have a very healthy gag population from what I hear!!! gonna get up there do it sometime!
@@KeyWestWaterman You are always welcome here. We are near and go out of the Weeki Wachee Spring. There are tons of springs that go for ever but I just like to go up the river after killing some fish. Now that we have our bay boat we are really going to focus on the Gags and Cobia
Like I said in your pb grouper clip you guys are warriors and a great team together as one unit. 👍
thank you sir!
Awsome video i spearfish hear in palm beach and love it even though i just got into it. Your videos have really educated me on how to spear safley. I truly appreciate it thank you.
thats awesome! happy to hear they are helping!
Cool Beans Bro I use to free dive, but I blew out an eardrum diving in a swimming pool (really hurt and in a pool jeez) could not go past the first stage anymore, man that sucked, because I really enjoyed diving! Thanks for the Vid bro brings back memories!
that is a bummer! not sure what I'd do if I couldn't dive!
Another! Awsome! Video!! Great spearing!! Dude!😎👍
thank you sir!
Just stumbled on your channel, watched about 5,6 videos. Awesome man. I just subscribed.
happy to hear it! glad you like the channel! thanks for watching and the sub!
Great job my brother . Just curious do you ever spear with tanks on rather than free dive .
Nope just freedive!
Great video keep them coming.
glad you enjoyed it!
Man held my breath half way down while watching and I was done 😂😂😂 to deep for me and I can swim like a fish but I can’t hold for that long
haha thanks for coming along!
@@KeyWestWaterman know thank you and the wifey for great content…one day soon I will book with you guys…I love the low main groves in the backyard..it seems like a great way to learn everything
Some nice fish. Hard way to make a living but looks better than most
definitely is! thats why I prefer charters!
Nice video bro, your Chanel is growing so fast!!!
getting there! just trying to keep up with content!
watching you from Libya keep doing what you doing 🤙as I remember you like what you call eye and tail shot or eye and fin I can't remember but with groupers it's a different story because it will always face you and if it gives you its side that's means it's not curious any more and it's going to take off
yup! they like to make it tough for sure! thanks for watching from Libya! hope all is well there!
Great to see the Chanel growing Aaron!
me too! thanks for keeping it going!
mahi spear fishing sounds fun to watch
gonna give it a try this summer!
Love it man, keep'em coming brotha. Will be down there sooner than later participating in the action. From St. Augustine,FL
happy to hear it! thanks brother!
You’re the man Aaron
I doubt It! thanks for watching brother!
Awesome at last into some great fish and what amazing weather great to see subscribers building up .great video with none of the bull shit hipe
Keep it real love it
thank you sir!!!
Awesome episode!
Knocking them all out! I appreciate it!!
85' to the sand! looks more like 40' good viz!
yea it was crystal clear that day!!
The turtle was after him.......... great video.
haha it sure what!
You know your gelled in when the marine life just starts to come right up to you. I was out spearing on May 1st. Looking for hogs and thought about how you were doing that day.
haha gotta stay relaxed in the water! and thats awesome hope y'all did well!
Super cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ty sir!
Finally lol another amazing video as always
haha trying to keep them coming!
@@KeyWestWaterman I know man! We were just down there for my girls birthday, we took a trip with Madeline and had a absolute blast. Love the videos as always. Still working on the banana gun “knock off” as I like to call it haha
@@FinsNFeathersOutfitters haha that is awesome! let me know how it turns out!
Nice video Bro...
thank you sir!
Good job👍👌
thank you!
Blue water spot verry good guys...
was on fire!
Them views are rollin in quick been waiting on this one good job man
finally got it out! more to come been crazy busy!
I like how your friend has on a shirt from my country the Bahamas 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
haha love it!
Love the vids!
happy to hear it!
Awesome video when going for black that’s how it usually is for me one or two and the are all very spooky. How are you getting the curiosity out of them most of the time as I’m heading down they are already trying to dart off. Just chum a lot ?
chum and very mellow on the drop. very slow and deliberate when engaging the fish. its extremely hard to teach. fish are very aware of your intentions. you have to seem as to be no threat
Awesome video as always! I was wondering if you could share your recipe in how you make your chum?
it is in one of my other older diving videos at the beginning, ill try to find it
Nice spearfishing idol watching from Philippines,, and pa shout out idol for your next blog ty 😊
thanks for watching!
8:41 face on the rock!
lol I can't find it!
Wow, this is legitamitely all I want to do. Cannot wait til I move to the keys in a couple years and can get more serious about free diving/spearing
it's a good life!
Thank you. I’m actually starting to spearfish again after 35 years. I’m 60. I want to start in shallow water 10 - 25 ? I don’t know how long I can hold my breath. Just want to have fun. I thought a 100 was pretty good for shallow water and patch reefs. I don’t think I can stay at 30-50. Was even planning on adding a small 82 roller like a MVD or pathos. I thought big guns 125 and above were for pelagic
yea if you plan on staying in the shallows 100 is plenty!
I enjoyed, thank you 🙏 !!!
thanks for watching!
😜👌 first in comments. Best spearfishing channel in my opinion.
haha thank you sir!
Since these are almost full disclosure on how this works and profits vs expenses etc....was just wondering how much you pay to live down there. 😁.... in Ft Lauderdale and want to get out of here either going way down to the keys or north and out of this city stuff...
If you don't mind...I know it's a stretch away from fishing and profits but not to me...lol.
Anyway awesome video...as always, thank you.
our mortgage is over $3,300 a month for a 3/2 1100 square ft. and we don't live in key west thats up the keys... its not cheap
@@KeyWestWaterman right on thanks for the reply. That's what I have been finding out. A bit to much for me to make a living and afford as an average guy.... North I shall go...sick and tired of the over population in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. Thanks again!!!
Key West waterman you got to respect your hustle I mean you risk your life by going underwater with the sharks and everything and people that complain about what you do or whatever there's always going to be a hater it's just miserable people out there looking for something to say but I tell you what I enjoy your videos and I'm glad to see you making a few dollars and just comfortably living cuz that's that's what it's about man it's about just living free as possible and enjoying the ride and I think you are accomplishing that keep up the videos they're great and be careful in that water Vincent
truly just doing my best to enjoy life while im here! thanks so much for taking the time to share and for watching the videos! thanks bother!
I think a lot of us like watching your videos more than y'all know because most of us don't have a lagoon in our backyard or live in Florida in the keys I live in New Orleans don't get me wrong I you know I choose to live here but I'm just letting you know I love watching I watch this crap 24/7 man I try to find new videos different people but I'm going to be honest it's for y'all that I really like I like Joe VT fishing I like moving weight I like you and I like stands Captain Nick stands that's the four I really like the most if y'all forward just make videos constant I wouldn't have to worry about finding any other material all right brother you take care and be careful and go get you some fish and then y'all eat healthy man everyday bro I mean what a blessing so it's more to it than just you going spearfishing a fish you know there's a live livelihood surrounded around this whole thing and people need to see that this is your life man and you're sharing it with us awesome take care
Almost stoned the parrot fish 8:49 😅. Do you anchor your contender or drift when you guys are in the water?
haha I wish we could shoot them. and all depends on conditions and what we are targeting. a bit of both
Love your channel. Andrew at nautilus is a dear friend. I just starting to spear fish. I bought an MVD 100 reel gun. Was also interested in either a Koah or Riffe. Should I get a smaller gun ... say a 82 or go bigger from a 100 to a 125 or so for offshore ?
in my opinion 100 is a pretty small gun, I'd get something bigger. but all depends on what and where you're hunting!
hi I'm new to the channel really great video 70-80 feet of water, is there any reason that you don't use tanks other than the extra equipment and cost or are you just more of a traditional diver?
lots more gear, maintenance, and work. we normally have no issue getting it done free diving, and always enjoy a good challenge!
@@KeyWestWaterman thanks for the response enjoy your channel looking forward to new videos
how can you tell when the water is going to be crystal clear
you can't...
I've swam a full length pool (25 yds / 75 ft) with fins in one breath. I've even made it down and back (50 yds) in one breath but it was tough. Can't imagine dropping 75 ft just to get to the action, then it's another 75 back to air. I have trouble even getting past 15 ft from the pressure. And you're casually down there with sharks and there's blood in the water.
haha lots of practice! glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Your FB comments make more sense now. Keep up the good work
not sure which you're referring to!
You made some comments about it being a bad day for commercial fishing, after the breakdown you understand it more
Ahhh! Gotcha!
Beautiful day! Just noticed the "lifting eyes" on your console. Is that for a strap or something that adds comfort to your ride?
im not sure what you are referring to?
Cody has a grade A mullet and dance moves. Sucks at diving though. Just my opinion. Great video as usual thanks for posting.
I had a wahoo joke for you but you wouldn’t get it
@@codynugent8687 ouch
lmao
Hey Aaron can we talk about a charter at the end of June?
yup! can email me or contact me on instagram! dibsonbottom@gmail.com
Do you at least buy them a beer? Just curious, at least after a hard day of work… keep going… just love it!
if they want one! they have day jobs and I have mine. they understand how I make my living and they get to go diving for free. it works out for everyone,
I could have got all of them in one dive. Gotta love Nitrox
no challenge in that!
@@KeyWestWaterman the benefits far exceed the lack of challenge
What is the deepest that sandballing is effective? Love the Chanel
I don't know if you mean how deep will fish react to it or how deep will they actually go?
@@KeyWestWaterman How deep will fish react to it.Thanks for replying.
@@scottogden5315 I’ve used it in 300 before with success
Fantastic video. Can you tell me please what kind of rubber bands are you using and shaft please?
5/8th bands and 5/16th shaft!
@@KeyWestWaterman Thank you very much Sir.
what cameras you use for the video under water?
go pro 7's
is there not a market for those big sharks you come across
im sure there is, I don't have the permits to harvest them commercially. I know some do!
Great day!
How did you acquire the federal Snapper Grouper?
Also how much for a day trip out west?
Thanks take care.
its a lease, and only a 225! and not sure what you mean by west, theres a lot of area west of us!
Around 16:40, you're talking about "head shots" and denervation of the fish. Did ya learn that from word of mouth or from a book?
Amzn shooting!
for some reason your comment shows blank, thanks for watching
How far out would that be in the gulfside from key west. I'll be in big pine in 3 weeks trying to spear the gulfside I've only done the oceanside.
i'm not sure I completely understand the question. this was on the Atlantic side
@@KeyWestWaterman copy that i thought you were on the gulf side.
What GoPro do you uses, and are you using an editing software to make these videos
Hero7 and a friend of mine does the editing for me
I use Adobe Premiere
What’s up man great video!!! what’s the mixture you use for the chum ?
Just sand and thawed chum
Ok I’m gonna try it out next time I go out thanks for the reply
I thought you lost your banana gun when the shark took the fish! Phew!
Haha it will be a very very sad day if that happens!
Yes!!!!!!
thanks for watching!
How long do u hold ur breath for lol
average dive is only 1:15 or so, if im feeling good 1:30-2:00. there are guys out there that make me look like a rookie
Nice video..
glad you enjoyed it!
How do you make the chum?
just a thawed block mixed with sand
สุดยอดคับ..THAILAND
welcome! thanks for watching!
There's your dinner at 12:32. You missed your chance :)
haha right!
Go straight west outta Hudson Florida, you will find TRUE swiss cheese.
lol can't say that I am familiar!
What do you do with old bent shafts?
send them in to be straightened
No sharks around?
there were a few! with deal with them daily
What kind of fins do you like to use?
I kick the alchemy S medium soft and absolutely love them.
I totally like your honest approach. Your friends get to have fun and you make a few bucks with all you have invested . Typically you quickly dispatch your fish respectfully. UA-cam probably won’t allow to much of it as if they don’t eat , what ? Not much swearing and cussing. When I fee dove I didn’t breathe up I hyper ventilated till I was dizzy and 60 was my max with any play time 😆 Commercial or not I’d have to keep a fish to eat 👍. Knock the rust off and go hit it again . Love to see it . Tight lines and loaded guns .
happy to hear that thanks for the honest feedback! and thats an extremely risky technique of breathing up! I don't recommend it! lol
@@KeyWestWaterman it was deep breathing to start then a few quick ones but you’re right going down dizzy ain’t good .
