My boys have asked to watch this video so many times now! They love seeing all the lobsters peeking out from under the coral & want to go lobster hunting 😂
Holy Moly brotherino! The opener is going to be killer! Cant wait to see your haul. Keep doing what you are doing because we are absolutely loving this through you. Waterman, Clams and Paddelin forever!!!
@KeyWestWaterman also that grouper that saw you when you came around that ledge looked like he said oh crap. Then it litteraly looked like he had relief in his eyes knowing you didn't have a spear gun aimed at him. Haha
Viz winds and seas were terrible out in the Contents. Came back to Key West inflated the paddle boards and paddled south off the beach with all our lobster gear. Great visibility & ended up doing ok in 10-20 ft.
Buddy I am so proud of you for what you have accomplished. I’ve been watching for about a month now and I’m hooked. Awesome channel!!! I remember when you were a grom surfing Playalinda with your brothers. 🥰
Heading to key west on Saturday. Fishing, diving, spearing and lobstering. At the Galleon. Buy you, Madelin and Will a drink if you get down there. Stay safe next few days.
@@KeyWestWaterman yes. I’m there for 2 1/2 weeks. We wait for regular season. If you ever get into downtown, let me know. I’ve been doing this for over 25 years, getting older and harder to keep up. Enjoy. We have harvested a few Spanish in the past.
Great video. Jealous of those coral spots. I traveled by boat in 17 from Cape Coral with friends who live there for lobster. Seven of us. Not being local we were diving grassy fields with ledges and saw some but only came up with 14 keepers over two days.
8:34 lol Every time I lobster out of Key West every ledge seems to have a nice grouper under it… but when I go back a couple days later… no groupers… it’s like they know 😂
That one toward the end who stood his ground, that was epic ! I would make him the first one for the pot since he certainly looked like a keeper.. And that shot of you laying head down toward the ledge, Classic..
Looking forward to see the video of you harvesting your spiny lobster limit😀I hope to see Madeleine back on the boat fishing or diving with you again soon😀
Hey what's up my dude am a big fan of yours my name is Stenneth williams but every one calls me booker I am from Jamaica but I live in New Jersey. I use to do spear diving back home in Jamaica for a living. I love watching your channel my G it's very educational.
A bonus video! Yay! Love seeing the flora and fauna of those coral heads. Looks like lots of bugs worth getting. Looking forward to seeing you catch and cook those beauties. Good Luck!!
After watching this video and previous ones from your channel, I felt the necessity to go out on day one of mini season . We did so good that by 8:30 am we already had our limit. Only took 1/12 hour to accomplish the catch. I have a small channel on UA-cam that I am trying to grow for my grandkids. They are the reason why I open it. My videos are not professional like yours, I don’t even have a GoPro or under water camera. I try to do my best with my phone. Hopefully one day in the near future, I go down and meet you in person. To me, you are the best diver and commercial fisherman in key west . Sincerely: Pipo
Very excited to see some lobster videos again? I think they may be my favorite. Always impressed with how catch them with the noose. I’m hoping at some point to come try out mini season. Looks like a great time
That was a great idea with the banana leaf and the KWW.! Awsome bro great job. I seen Wills hat to with the CWC on the hat in the class mouth, pretty cool! Dang brother you have a infestation going on under your coral heads! Alot of shorts but great population! Lol! Awsome season! My brother left thismorning heading down there! Awsome thanks for the video!!
Thanks for taking us along! Can you give your take on the repeatedly reported insane water temps and if you're experiencing it and any effects? Appreciate your uploads. Take care
We scouted Tuesday and had such high hopes. Wednesday was completely different. The weather wasn't so good and the ocean was angry. Visibility was about 1 ft. in shallow areas. Content keys. Only caught 15
The only time I've seen that many bugs was on that coral head flat by Loggerhead Key. And they were huge. Scuba tank size. Anyway looks like you should have a good spiny season. Cool. I moved from the NC foothills to the VA Beach area and got a kayak. It's like getting my soul back just to be able to go fishin' in the saltwater again. I'm looking for spots now and already caught a flounder, which was exactly what the goal was.
Great video Aaron! Wow, extra KWW, sweet! I’d say I was surprised you released this before mini season, but I’m not. You show it as it is. That’s who you are and why we watch the honest guy. Love it. I know a commercial guy like you has tons of spots, but I guarantee, locals know what you just showed and were like ‘sweet’ or ‘stop showing my spot’. Lol. Others won’t know. Grow up people. Thanks for sharing!!!
For anyone willing to learn something the clacking/grinding noise you hear is coming from the boat shifting and it’s an unhealthy way to shift you round the teeth on the gears outboards are meant to shift in and out quickly this could save you thousands on a new lower unit
That’s insane. We were out of jewfish basin and ran all the way west and we didn’t see anything stacked with lobster like that. You’re a magician for sure. Hope to see you before we leave. Keeping the boat right down the canal from you. Was wearing your shirt today for good luck and it got to rough to stick it out on the south side so we hit north side and it got very rough on the gulf as well.
Excellent! Scout them out first, heehee…. Looking forward for u guys to catch them!! In ur online shop, I was trying to find a sizing chart for the noodle long sleeve performance shirt? And thanks for a great video again 🙏🏾
Bahaha! Stacked is right. Lots of small ones, but that means next year is looking good too. As far as the hat, I noticed KWW right away, but could see how others might miss it. I'd call wearing that "Incognito Cool". Nice unobtrusive design.
@@KeyWestWaterman when I was in Jupiter we would scout spots and then they miraculously disappeared the first day of mini season as soon as the sun came up.
You should do a video about breath holds like how to breath up properly and how to improve breath hold you got me into free diving and it seems my breath ups are the most important. I want to go deeper.
That nice Grouper appeared to be hunting those lobsters in the rocks. Were you able to notice if it got one ? It would have been really cool to have caught that on your camera !!!
Aloha. Christmas in July? Most of my diving (Lanai) has been at night for lobster. No Spanish, just spiney and slipper. Still don’t understand why Floridians don’t dive at night, though I did watch yesterday’s video. Large moreys always bothered me more than sharks. Unless I was diving nor cal for abalone. Good luck!
Holy crap.. That Key West guy accidently showed his saved spots page. Pause it right there. Boom! For two days those guys dove finding nothing. Wasn't until the 3rd day after it was over did they realise all the fav spots page formed a happy face when you zoomed out.. Good one KWW. Good one.
That's a crazy amount of lobsters! Going down to FL from August 8-13 for 4 days of lobstering and spearing. Won't be in the keys though. Hope the populations are that healthy near Boynton Beach.
Thanks for the free diving lobster fantasy will be Blue Crabbing until October then onto harvesting Oysters until May 24 . Next Lobster fest for me is Aug 24. Peace be with you!
Be picky this year lol. That was awesome content. Only thing we have here right now is a surplus of young rabbits an squirrels. They will be delicious this winter. Respect from Readyville Tn. God Bless an be safe out their with the folks trying to do what u guys do.
(@charleshatcliff5588), Don't count your chickens! I had an explosion of feral rabbits last fall, thought I'd be eating well into winter. Think the coyotes, owls, lynx and hawks found them as they disappeared quickly.🤪
Looking forward to Monday's video. Hopefully you can avoid the chaos out there! Do I see a lobster and linguine dish on yours or Will's channel in the future?
Aaron, dang those spots are loaded!! Any advice on how to find good spots in the mangroves or backcountry of KW? I feel like the charts don’t show many rocks or ledges, you just have to KNOW where they are.
get out there and look, the spots on the charts aren't good because they are on the charts. if that makes sense. everyone has them. gotta put the time in, drive around and look. no alternative.
Who doesn’t love getting spoiled randomly! Thanks captain.
haha thanks for watching!
Love the new angle on the boat (approx. 5:00 marker) where it looks like you're basically running at a fast rate on the water #keywestjesus
haha
Back to back love it
haha
😀
Nice to see those Lobsters thriving there. Thanks
thanks for watching!
My boys have asked to watch this video so many times now! They love seeing all the lobsters peeking out from under the coral & want to go lobster hunting 😂
haha I love that! tell them thank you!
Holy Moly brotherino! The opener is going to be killer! Cant wait to see your haul. Keep doing what you are doing because we are absolutely loving this through you. Waterman, Clams and Paddelin forever!!!
glad you enjoyed it!
In you and Clams best Forest Gump voice
Lobster rolls. Fried lobster, grilled lobster, lobster salad, lobster cocktail, stuffed lobster. Boiled lobster. Haha want it all!!!
😂
@KeyWestWaterman also that grouper that saw you when you came around that ledge looked like he said oh crap. Then it litteraly looked like he had relief in his eyes knowing you didn't have a spear gun aimed at him. Haha
Thanks for bringing us along...
🙏
Viz winds and seas were terrible out in the Contents. Came back to Key West inflated the paddle boards and paddled south off the beach with all our lobster gear. Great visibility & ended up doing ok in 10-20 ft.
that's awesome love to hear it! it was def less than ideal!

man time does fly! really appreciate it brother and hope all is well!
^same I’ve been watching a month a friend from the keys show me the channel, so so cool
@@KeyWestWaterman yeah man doing well.
I also loved the Spanish lobsters cooking the other day. I never had one before. I am sure they are tasty
they are amazing!
Awesome spots brother. Poor turtle. So get ready for crazy mini season
indeed!
Heading to key west on Saturday. Fishing, diving, spearing and lobstering. At the Galleon. Buy you, Madelin and Will a drink if you get down there. Stay safe next few days.
lobster is closed on Saturday! lol enjoy the trip.

We go out of Cudjoe around the blimp, Good Luck Buggin. We seem to find more keepers in the limestone pocket holes in the turtlegrass.
best of luck!
😳😲😯😏😉🤭🤫😋 thats so cool. Reassuring that true sportsmanship and conservation works . 🤙
🙏
Thanks for the preview. Can't wait for the catch & supper video. Keep filming we'll keep watching!!!
🙏

sounds like you did better than most. apparently it was pretty slow for people

That is the photos that your buddy needs to capture stills. Awesome scouting

The lobster selfie lol! Those looked like some keepers!
haha
Cool vibe, thanks KWW.
Cheers to the mini.
🙏
Wow! I’ve never seen a spot that loaded. Good luck with the craziness of mini season, I’ll be down for regular season in Aug.
thank you!
Thanks for taking us along! Can you give your take on the repeatedly reported insane water temps and if you're experiencing it and any effects? Appreciate your uploads. Take care
gonna try and make a video about it
GoodLuck for mini season 🫶
thank you!
Mini season is about to be 🔥..I saw more antennas than a 1960s alien movie.
haha
We scouted Tuesday and had such high hopes. Wednesday was completely different. The weather wasn't so good and the ocean was angry. Visibility was about 1 ft. in shallow areas. Content keys.
Only caught 15
yea I heard alot of people struggled, def wasn't ideal conditions!
Great lobster selfie.

We are looking at your boat right now. Cool boat!
🤷♂️
Those coral heads are STACKED
indeed!
Oh Snap! 2 in a row! Nice! Thanks!
thanks for watching!
So many bugs! Cant wait for recipes... Thank you for the extra vid. :)

Can’t wait for the video of tomorrow’s spiny catch. Definitely on my list of things I want to do. Not something we can do here in Texas.
see ya Monday!

intersting
@@KeyWestWaterman I could send you pictures on instagram tomorrow if you are interested to see what it does
Crazy they used to think of them as 🪳 would not eat them. My how times change!!😊
really is wild
Great preview! Look forward to seeing the results.
You and me both!
question. when i see you spear fishing in caves i never see lobsters. do they congregate in well known areas that you went too for this video? thanks
they like specific areas yea, on the reef they are alot more spread out as there is alot more bottom structure.
That’s insane. We were out of jewfish basin and ran all the way west and we didn’t see anything stacked with lobster like that. You’re a magician for sure. Hope to see you before we leave. Keeping the boat right down the canal from you. Was wearing your shirt today for good luck and it got to rough to stick it out on the south side so we hit north side and it got very rough on the gulf as well.
maybe it was just isolated spots! best of luck to yall stay safe out there! 🙏
Good fishing my man! I can’t wait to see the next video featuring mini-season.
🙏
Awesome! I’ll be down there for regular commercial season. Thanks for getting me stoked! Looking forward to your mini season video(s)!
can't wait!
Ik darn well it's Tuesday...😊❤
haha
Yep, those will be some tasty morsels. Looking forward to the video.
Can't wait!
such an epic rig for lobstering, that new noe'!
love it!
Love seeing two in a row! Thanks 😁
thanks for watching!
What a fun day. There’s tons of bugs! Hope your ears are feeling better. Have a Blessed Night 😊🦞
they are! thank you!
Excellent! Scout them out first, heehee…. Looking forward for u guys to catch them!! In ur online shop, I was trying to find a sizing chart for the noodle long sleeve performance shirt? And thanks for a great video again 🙏🏾
I don't have a sizing chart on there, they run pretty true to size.
Great, just bought one, support from Hong Kong~
Awesome logo hat!!
🙏
We love you videos by the way. I think we’re all caught up. We binged watched 😅
🙏
Logo on the hat looks really cool!
thank you!
My God the traffic is bad this year! Happy diving 👍
every year!
Can’t wait will be there for opener. Great video!
looking forward to it!
OMG I can’t believe all the Grovers and lobsters on the first spot you jumped in!
was wild!
Bahaha! Stacked is right. Lots of small ones, but that means next year is looking good too.
As far as the hat, I noticed KWW right away, but could see how others might miss it. I'd call wearing that "Incognito Cool". Nice unobtrusive design.
indeed it does!
Aaron, if you come across some slipper lobsters could you do a catch n cook? That would be cool.
I've seen 3 in 10 years here so its not likely!
Another great video brother, and again you have on board the God of culinary arts!!! Chef Will!!!be safe out there broders.
thank you!
I’m from Jacksonville been watching for awhile love the videos. Brain and bleed as always.
🙏
Bonus!!!!!❤ lesh goooo!!! P.s. Found that "night spot" . The lobs are gone!!! Syke!!! Cant make it, first time in 15 yrs😢😢😢❤
haha
@KeyWestWaterman u got em' all on that radar from night Spanish lobs!! Lol❤️😉
Is it Christmas in July? Ona Tuesday! Wooohooo!
haha
Nice video, I'll be sure to look under every rock hoping to see something like this. But I really prefer the ole onesie twosie situation.
It’s much easier to handle
I did find a rock with a few dozen, but I picked up the big guys around it. It was looking good in my spots south of you.
My goodness, lobster rolls forever!
seriously
Awesome!! I miss lobster season, usually skipped mini season.
yea its almost too much for me now
@@KeyWestWaterman when I was in Jupiter we would scout spots and then they miraculously disappeared the first day of mini season as soon as the sun came up.
You should do a video about breath holds like how to breath up properly and how to improve breath hold you got me into free diving and it seems my breath ups are the most important. I want to go deeper.
I plan on covering it a little bit!
Awesome footage! Thanks for creating and sharing this! Got me excited for mini season and I just learned about it just now. :D
glad you enjoyed it!
Im goin to say season will be good.
hopefully!

lol you lost me
I can’t wait to see your catch. Gonna be an awesome lobster video
looking forward to it!
Cool! Will be coming down in August to scoop some up. Would be great if you did some bug recipes. Thanks
will be doing some for sure! good luck!
That's a crazy amount of lobsters! Going down to FL from August 8-13 for 4 days of lobstering and spearing. Won't be in the keys though. Hope the populations are that healthy near Boynton Beach.
best of luck!
Stop....those lobster are endangered!! 😝 OMG.....that is ridiculous!! Some would call that infestation!! Have a great week!
😂
Sea spiders everywhere. WOW!
lots
Thanks for the free diving lobster fantasy will be Blue Crabbing until October then onto harvesting Oysters until May 24 . Next Lobster fest for me is Aug 24. Peace be with you!
