Hey man, I saw you in Ross a couple weeks ago and I did say what's up to you briefly but just wanted to say again congrats on all your success with not only your UA-cam channel but your entire lifestyle, fishing career, and marriage as well. What you do is very inspirational. Hope you keep it up for years to come..
Really do appreciate it brother! 🙏🏻
I second this comment!
You have always kept my interests peaked in the world of spearfishing. The first time I watched the channel I was hooked ( no pun intended). The ocean is a beautiful place to work and live close to. In all the years I worked as a commercial fisherman I wondered what it was like spearfishing. Well Sir you have shown us that it's not easy for everyone to do but it can be done. I'm glad you show us the failed shots as well as the perfect ones. As always I wait with anticipation for the next drop ( no pun intended) Stay safe and congrats again on your wedding!
Impressive free diving and self control. As they say, there are old divers and there are bold divers but there’s no old and bold divers.
I watch a lot of fishing and dive shows, but I have to say I can’t wait till I get home from work on Monday nights just to see what you were up to. Thank you for keeping us all entertained. Many blessings for you and your wife to be.
Really love to hear it!
The shot on your first fish was like a light switch . I gotta give it to you . I watch a lot of spearos and you seem to have a gift for shot placement. Great hunting guys
Lots of practice! Appreciate it! 🙏🏻
Picture quality seems better than other videos. That being said, I still love em all the same. Thanks for the content!
Appreciate the feedback!
I love these “load the boat” commercial trips.
They are fun!
I've recently begun watching your videos the last few months or so. What impresses me is your knowledge and skill in fishing, but also the utmost respect you have for the prey, no matter what it is, and the environment. It's a breath of fresh air - if only all professional fishermen were like you.
Just saw the photos of you Madeline congrats on the wedding! Forever and Always!
I do absolutely love these trips. I appreciate that they are seldom and perhaps that makes them even more special. Something about you having a purpose, starting at a financial deficit, breaking even, then going green. Its like I'm completely invested and cheering you on. Plus of course, all of the action! So awesome how you have sustainability and humane practices at the forefront of your craft. You are truly a faithful steward of the incredible natural world you operate in and an a model representative of what it is to be a "waterman", at least in my mind. Thank you.
Refreshing to hear your take on using gas. I do both depending on depth (not in same day). As you know, up in Central FL GOM, many times we have to get into very deep water to find big fish; which is when we bring gas. A lot of freedivers jump on you the minute they see tanks without understanding the environment some of us are in. Always enjoy your videos man.
Most will never know the skill level needed to freestyle spearfish at those depths. Impressive.
Id say most dont care, thats why we have tanks.😊
Love the patience and skill to almost always get that perfect stoneshot! Gotta teach myself some of that patience lol! Great Video as always!
Lots of practice haha thanks for tuning in!
Being in the Seafood Industry for 25 years Myself, I love these Videos!
Love to hear it sir!
After watching your spearfishing videos and comparing them against some other videos I really appreciate your willingness to pass or wait on shots and I am marveled at your ability to make stone shots and quick kills. I realize not all shots land and maybe you show us some of the cleaner ones, but I really appreciate you talking ethics and trying to get clean shots and trying to avoid marginal shots. Its an underrated part of our sport of hunting and fishing.
What an ecco way to harvest fish ... no by catch, no destruction and so personal
Just Brilliant!
As a veteran and fairly well versed hunter, you sir are a sniper with a spear gun! Amazing video!
That is an art, excellent video ! Cheers!!
🙏🏻
Nice luck on that last grouper! Happy for you.
HaHa right!
I love your videos!! I don't live anywhere near an ocean so it's always good too see the vast water. Additionally, you respect the fish, you respect the ocean and you respect your weapon, these are all fantastic traits. Plus, you have encyclopedic knowledge about the ocean and spearfishing that willingly share with us. Thank you so much for all you efforts in making these videos!
Great video Aaron!
I want to wish you & Madeleine the very best of life together going forward in your newest adventure together. My awesome wife & life partner have been together over 34 years and married 27 of those. I praise God every day for what we have together. God bless the both of you and all those you have the pleasure of being part of their lives.
Thanks for always being you!
Awesome episode! Glad to see the number of subscribers growing at a healthy clip. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Your videos are so calming. It's a nice break from this crazy world.
I would watch any dive you make. Do you ever find treasure, like old bottles. Stay safe young man
Old bottles no treasure yet!
Some old bottles are worth money and they make great decorations. Stay safe
I feel like I saw this video already. Lol it was fun to see behind the scenes and your video editing process.
Haha!
love your hunter ethics..........
37 dives. Nice to have young lungs. Another great day.
5 years ago I’d do 80-90 a day! Slowing down haha
Nice haul bud, it was also nice to see you back out on the big boat.
What a great video. Man you sure stoned a lot of your fish today. Really enjoyed. Looking forward to watching Madeleines bride box video going to the sandbar. We sent a gift. Wish it could be more.
Love your spearfish vids as you know thanks for doing it again.😎
Glad you like them!
Respect to your patience (broadside)! I learn so much with each video both down under as well as in the kitchen.
I really appreciate how you care for your fish, brain, bleed and gut. I think you are a rare fisherman on YT, to many don’t gut the fish until the next day when they clean them or they don’t gut the fish at all. I’m 100% sure you produce the highest quality meat in the Keys.
Insane accuracy! Your shots were absolutely on point today
You were an absolute sniper in this video. Stone shot after stone shot, impressive.
Thanks for sharing your videos and thoughts on diving! All the best!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing a piece of paradise. 😊
Am telling you. This guy motivates us and we thank him because we learn a lot. Bro we anticipates your Jamaica 🇯🇲 visit. Gussy and Brothers
Love these videos Dibs, especially when you answer questions like why you look at your watch when I'm sitting there wondering. Keep it up my man, tight lines 🎣
Dammm Aaron you have sniper skills with that speargun. You make it look soo easy 😂 and we know it ain't
I can see that was a lot of work. A lot of skill. Excellent photography. Your highs and lows, it’s all there for the viewing. Terrific job.
Time for some popcorn 🎣 great content bro ❤
Haha
Congrats on the stone shot string ! Shooting that good is hard to do.
nice groupers and good shots!!!❤
Thanks for watching!
I really cannot wait to try spear fishing! As a scuba diver and being older, I’ll probably use tanks.
Those shot placements are expert level! I watch a lot of prominent UA-cam spear fishers and they don’t have nearly the same accuracy. Very impressive
Great back up on the one that tore out, and not leaving an injured fish on the bottom
Man, I am so excited to see a commercial dive video again , hopefully there is more coming great video once again
I love all your videos, they remind me of growing up down there. So I imagine myself with you on all your adventures. I guess not being down there, watching you is the next best thing.
Very cool man, keep up the good work
🙏🏻
About time you did a commercial fishing trip yeah been missing these
Nice upgrade on the mercs!
Love em!
its a peaceful and relaxing spearfishing video.. thanks for sharing...
Great shooting. Those stone shots are pretty impressive. I could never hold my breath long enough to shoot nice fish. I think the best thing I ever speared was a sheepshead around 5 lbs. But growing up in Sarasota we didn't get clear water unless it was cold so I didn't get much practice. I fish almost every day but with rod and reel, always light tackle.
Anyway these are fun videos to watch. You do a great job of showing and explaining your adventures.
You make it look so easy!!
Lots of practice!
Escelent dive, huges from Venezuela bro 💚💪🔥🔥🔥
Glad you enjoyed it!
These are my favorite kinds of your videos. I’d still like to see you dive a bridge. See what kind of critters are under one
Wow that was a nice mess of fish! And you put in some work there! Great job filming and bringing us along. So helpful when the water clarity cooperates with your filming efforts!
🇯🇲great video,wish we that many groupers here in Jamaica we only see them maybe once a year especially on the west side of the island...keep on making me a better spearhead,thanks for the videos...yah man one love🇯🇲
Man those stone shots, that dispatching… Keep being an example to all of us and thanks for the video!!
I read this every time before going out to sea for protection
But when they ˹finally˺ reached the point where the seas met, they forgot their ˹salted˺ fish, and it made its way into the sea, slipping away ˹wondrously˺.
Quran 18:61
I like these breakdowns. No one really talks about it. Fisherman's secret, I suppose?
You are the stone shot master! I’ve been spear fishing 20 plus years and you make it look easy. Great job and beautiful video as always. Keep up the awesome work!
Wishing you and Madeleine a very happy marriage and a long life together
This, driving for lobster and spearing Mahi in super deep blue water is a life long dream of mine. Living in Kentucky stuff like this seems like a different world. lol.
On your first drop I held my breath with you and got to when you pointed at the fish then I couldn’t hold it any longer
These are my favorite so cool to watch you catch fish over and over, super neat. Keep it up and congrats on you and Madelyn on getting married!!
Love the commercial videos. Always learn the most from you from those videos
I really enjoy your videos. Your narration voice is very calm and relaxing.
I do have a question (you've probably answered it already, but I've slept since then). Is winter a bad time to dive the mangrove islands?
Stone cold Waterman! Nice video Aaron!!!
Great video Aaron always appreciate your videos
Congrats on a good haul. Coming down for Thanksgiving again. Maybe see you then.
People who have never had a boat, or have never pursued fishing in a serious way have no concept of what it costs to pursue these activities. If I’m taking a guest out, they will never know what it cost to go fishing for the day.
It’s a quiet joke that I keep to myself, when people complain about the cost of fish at the market. They think because You have a boat therefore catching fish is “free”, just go and get them. I just leave it at that. I recently bought some premium &really nice fish, and we had a five star meal at home. That market bought fish was excellent quality and fantastic value.
I like the fact that you give a little indication of the cost of a day out, not even considering the cost of owning the boat and gear.
Another cool vid. Something that kinda popped in my head watching you ascend... ever had any close calls running short on breath? I think it would be informative to show something like that and go over what to look for or precautions to take (aside from dont deep dive if you cant, lol), to minimize the risk.
Not really personally i don’t ever push my dives. But it’s not uncommon for people. Will try to cover it.
I watch you every time you post.meaning ur awesome 👍🏾😎.Be blessed brother
I appreciate that
After watching your behind the scenes video I picture you at your computer now while doing the underwater voice overs 😅😂
Happy to see one of your Grouper videos
Watching your videos is creating quite an interest for me. I used to dive for Abalone in Northern California but that has been closed for some time now and miss it dearly. I never spearfished before but, I travel to Baja in the winter and I just might have to get a gun.
Exelent vid. You are a truly remarkable spear fisherman. Thanks
Love these types of videos. Did you repower the boat again? I couldve sworn you had black mercs on it but maybe I'm wrong
Yea i did!
Thank you, your are an inspiration to me and I enjoy your videos a lot
Dude if you made these longer.. like an hour. Just show more of the dive. Man i’d watch every minute.
If you did that up here near Miami you'd probably be lucky to get just one!
After video review… I still don’t know how that fish pulled off 🤯
Seriously though
Doc Holliday over here with that there speargun. Nice shootin sir.
Me gusta ver tus videos de pesca y tu habilidad para conseguirlo
Is there a market for commercial yellow jack? I've never seen it on a menu but with the decline in the mahi fishery I have to wonder what the next most common "fresh catch" will be.
Great video,y’all put in some work on this one
Great video. I can't wait for some wahoo videos.
Talks himself out of shooting a big juicy cubera but couldn’t resist an average black. Nice self control on the cubera.
As a lifetime, Recreational fisherman and having spent several years on charterboats when I was a teenager, I always disliked commercial fishing especially with nets and long lines and things but after watching UA-cam and the few guys I see that switch between Robin and Real and spearfishing couldn’t agree more about spearfishing being the most sustainable means of recreation or commercial as you will know you get to choose your fish and you don’t end up killing fish that you are going to keep And you only harvest fish of a size so you can stay away from the breeding population if you need to and things like that, so while commercial would normally be some thing I would be sore over. I totally think spearfishing, especially free diving is the most fair and sustainable commercial fishing method ever by far.
Great video 📹 😊
Thank you sir!
Nice blacks cap!👍
Are you going to make a video on the repower from 200 to 225s? Not a big hp difference but still cool to see
Hey bro love ur videos love fishing myself if you ever have time try making sofrito from scratch (to me) it’s the best seasoning ever especially for crabs
Don’t know if it’s allowed down there but stingrays are really tasty had a few myself when I lived in Puerto Rico. I’m glad ur living life the way you want to and hope you keep making videos I spend hours watching them love them all.🤛🏼
Ingin rasanya aku ikut mancing bersamamu bro,, kelihatannya sungguh asyik sekali,,
Congratulations to you both on the marriage! My wife and I have been married for over 38 years. She's my wonder woman because I wonder how she's put up with me for so long, seriously though she's absolutely gorgeous and amazing! Another great video brother!
Accuracy on point bro!!
Awesome video as always! Question for ya? How come you didn’t go after that cubera?
Hey, Aaron. Another great video. Thanks for your detailed info in your voice over, very informative.
Question, 37(?) dives. Is that pushing it? Or is that a safe amount?
I am not questioning your abilities, just dive- curious.
PS: I'm not even gonna challenge you to (
any kinda gun) duel.😊 Stay safe, young man.
Glad you enjoyed it! And all depends on the person and the day. Those depths that was a decent amount for me. When i was younger i could do 50-60 a day
Damn brother ... your a sniper with the gun !!!!!
Haha thanks for watching!
aside from the one whiff you had it dialed in
Was feeling on for sure!
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great stuff sir ...thank you.
