That soft coral that u got hung up on is called a gargonian. It's a form of coral like sea fans and their like. Great that u do as much as possible to make a min impact on the flora in the ocean and on the reefs!
really appreciate the info!
Your respect for the Ocean and the fish as well as your humble attitude are commendable… all the respect!! I have learned a world on spearfishing with you !! Ohh yes, I will get that banana gun as soon as it’s available…
really do appreciate all of that! thanks so much for the support and watching!
I believe my favorite part of your videos is your compassion to all the wildlife. Whether it's what your hunting or soft coral. You are the epitome of environmentally friendly....
I try to be 🙏
Glad you kept me in the vid! Thanks for taking the time to say hi. Enjoyed the speargun comparison! Keep the awesome content coming!!!
haha of course! thanks so much for stopping by!
Long time viewer and avid scuba diver, fisherman, and hunter. My wife and I love your videos and the calm demeanor you portray. You're the best spearfisherman I have ever seen! Keep the content coming, we enjoy watching such a pro.
really love to hear that! 🙏
Well John is the man. I may have to get one. I own a Koah. The thing with John is he will answer your questions, and steer you in the right direction personally.
he's an amazing human, one of the most genuine nice guys I've ever met. happy to help even if its no benefit to him!
Keep them coming. Enjoy watching you aquahunt and fish!
Thanks so much!
14:06 was amazing man. seeing the care with which you removed the line from the reef, the second breathe up and all. kudos, ty for the respect :'). i can see you kinda avoid the fans with your gun too. amazing will always recommend you in the southern keys.
really do appreciate that! just love it out there! thanks so much for watching!
This is an excellent channel! No drama. Just interesting fishing stuff,location stuff and cool videos.
glad you enjoy it! thanks so much for watching!
Very nice show captain you are one of the best that I watch you are nothing but a teacher and it’s a great learning experience watching someone like you God bless I hope to fish with you one day that’s on my bucket list
really happy to hear that! thanks for watching!
14:45 was so funny. Another educational and entertaining vid.Thanks for sharing, Aaron.
haha I got a good kick out of that one 😂
Congrats on the new Gun! That thing is SWEET! Heck yeah I would like to have One! That last shot was amazing, I call that SKILL!
I do appreciate it!
Love the thumbnail
haha both will and I hated it, happened on accident. meant it was perfect 😂
Terrific video. Love the narration. So great how you dispense the fish. Nice banana gun, Aaron. Hope to meet you and buy you a beer some day.
thanks so much for the feedback! and i'm a sucker for a beer!
The thumbnail you look like Yosemite Sam holding a couple 6 Guns, I mean spearguns. Lol 😂
haha it happened on accident as a joke. decided it was perfect!
@ 10:25 you mention making a shark episode! Hopefully that is still underway, awesome video and in depth narrative as always!
yea its since been made! just scroll through the vids it'll pop up!
Love the banana 🍌 gun 2.0!
Haha me too!
Great video as always man! Best fisherman in the keys!
thanks so much for watching!
Yes !!! I want to get 2 ! We Love ya video ! Thanks 😊 and much appreciation from Destin !
thanks so much! and I will keep you posted if we get a limited order of them!
@@KeyWestWaterman great Thanks a bunch bud .
Look good. & i'll like to have one when they are ready. I been leaning a lot with your videos & experience. Wish u the best Capt.
happy to hear that! thanks so much for watching!
Great vid bud, love the feeling of a new gun. Never had a custom made one before, must be even sweeter haha. Thank for the content!
haha always gets me excited!
Another great vid Aaron. Love this channel!
thanks so much!
First time viewer and I love the voiceover or natural sounds while you’re underwater. Nothing worse than obnoxious music. Found you from Blugabe & Kelly Young.
they are the best! welcome to the channel and do appreciate he feedback! used to do music but got rid of it when I started doing my own editing. seems everyone likes it better!
As always, I love these videos. Big fan of your work and character. I would definitely buy a Koah Speargun if they were to do a KWW edition. That would be Epic.
really do appreciate that! thanks so much for watching!
Nice toy! Great explanation of your new gun! Thanks! A cobia trip would be awesome! Never speared one but they’re moving through up here in Central Florida!
hoping to get out there soon!
Another great episode....That did look rough on the water...Yup....a Zofran trip for sure...
haha was a little bumpy!
Great looking gun Aaron. Best of luck with it. Cheers
thank you!
Congrats on the new gun, it looks awesome! Thanks for taking it out and showing us how it does. I am trying to decide between a RIFFE & a KOAH and now I am leaning towards a KOAH. All your videos are wonderful. Thanks again and I hope that you will enjoy this gun for many years to come.
absolutely! and you won't be disappointed with a Koah, I only have like 7 of them! 😂 no issues with any of them.
@@KeyWestWaterman I have been spearfishing for around 48 years. I have used RIFFE since the 80s. I will purchase a KOAH now for a reef gun and keep my RIFFE Bluewater guns.
Amer, are you interested in a used Riffe No Ka Oi, in great condition?
@@juanroa473 I already have several RIFFE guns. I was just wondering if I want to replace one of my reef guns with a KOAH.
Koah hands down. You can ask questions, and the owner John replies pretty quick. He set me up with a beautiful gun, with a second spear mounted on it. I love that.
Great video, love all of your content. I agree with one of the other comments an engraved banana would be cool. My filming partner and I are going to try to do a spearfishing video this year in the northeast for blackfish and scup when the season opens. Keep an eye on that gun when Bluegabe comes around again lol.
and yea I would love to have that! def should do it! 😂
Good write up and respect for the coral. Living the dream while I am land locked in Tennessee but for a short time till I head south
I am doing my best!
Looks like a brilliant gun.and great idea with that balance compartment at the front. My dad had something similar. But he added some mirrors inlayed into the front of the gun to act as flashers.only thing I don't like is the flopper on the bottom of shaft but thats just me. Brilliant gun mate.
yea its a really cool trick!
Congrats on the new banana 2.0. I order my guns from Mike Hatch that one looks like my Ulua. I also use my salvimar 75,85cm rollers in 30-45 depth but I really prefer my Hatch Ameros. I agree with you about the groupers, in my area Big pine they are looking great for May 1st.
thank you! and man they are everywhere!
Definitely in for a banana gun👍
For sure, 100%
In marathon, just up the road.
Thanks 👍💪
hell yes happy to hear it!
U make it look so easy to be under water love it
lol its not!
That is an epic thumbnail.
Lol started as a joke then we ended up liking it😂
That thumbnail is badass!
So so good and very informative. Cheers
Thank you!
Awesome job showing respect for the reef. If the banana 2.0 is available I will be making a purchase.
I try! and happy to hear it!
Nice !!!! Just got my first band gun.... A B Billiard..... always shot pneumatic back when I dove constantly.. getting back into diving and spear fishing !! Thanks for sharing. Much Respect !
My first speargun was an ab biller 48. Awesome gun. I have a riffe e90x and i still like the way the ab biller shoots better
that's a common gun for alot to start with! great gun to learn with. I've never actually shot a pneumatic!
Sweet gun! Great content as always 🤙🏽
thank you!
Good luck with the new Spear!!!
thank you!
I have binged like all of your videos, gunna have to start spearfishing so I can snag one of those guns they are beautiful!
Haha love it!!!
What a maanly thumbnail 🥰🤣🤣
lmao started as a joke then decided what the hell!
Hey Aron, I would love to see more lobster and stone crab hunting. It’s been a while since I’ve done either. I use to dive for stone crab under a bridge in the mouth of Tampa Bay. Terrible vis, strong currents and lots of stuff to get tangled in if you weren’t careful. Key West looks much better!
I will def be back out for them. have had a few lobster/stone vids since this one. thanks for tuning in!
Real nice speargun !! Always watch ur content u provide for ur fans....an learn a lot as a spearfisher man my self....
Watching from st.kitts&nevis 🇰🇳🇰🇳🇰🇳🇰🇳🇰🇳🇰🇳🇰🇳 twin islands in the Caribbean.........5hour fight to MIA.......
love it! hear it beautiful down there! thanks so much for watching!
The banana gun🍌 is OG! I would be very interested is owning my banana gun! Let’s make it happen! Thank you Aaron for the best videos!
haha working on it! thanks so much for watching!
love what you're doing! id definitely be interested in in one your banana guns! keep kicking ass out there!
happy to hear that and thanks so much for watching!
Another amazing video like a new banana gun awesome
Happy to hear it thanks for watching!!!
i can see you face, you are happy like boy with new toy , enjoy my friend
haha!
Perfect timing I was just starting to look for a new gun count me in for one.
hell yes!
That wreck spot is really cool man. Would love to see some more wreck videos!
Will try to squeeze some in!
@@KeyWestWaterman maybe that's where you'll get your shark encounter content😂
Can you do an episode on how to set up guns for reefs, wrecks, and pelagics? Would be really cool to see your different set ups.
I have some older videos where I show my guns and rigs, but I can mention it in newer vids!
Sweet looking gun. My bet is that you'll get use to it small differences. Happy hunting, great video.
I have a feeling I will! thanks so much for watching!
Great video, Aaron. You broke your new spear gun quite nicely, I think . I enjoyed the video thanks for sharing
thanks so much!
Another great video. Looking forward to your shark episode.
thank you!
I found your channel through Kelly Young & BlueGabe. Definitely earned my subscription. Great content.
Love it! Thanks for checking the channel out!
As always awesome hopefully I can take some time an try fishing with you 😉
would be happy to have you out!
I would total love a Koah designed by you!
may have to get them going!
Heading down to Key West KOA for the weekend with the wife and kids. Inspired by Mr. Aaron Young. Can't wait!!!!
haha love it!
Great amazing content Keep up the great work! Not many people in the keys respect the waters
I try to! Thanks so much for watchin!
Still new to the channel love how you explain everything so good the brain spike 👏👍👏👍
Happy to hear you enjoy it! Thanks so much for watching!
Looking forward to that shark episode!
Yes!
That looks like a bull pup version of CJs model .love the band grooves.
yup! really happy with how they turned out!
I recently retired the gun I made for a Koah Battle axe. It's an awesome gun!
haha love it!
Cant beat a good Koah gun , good quality stuff.
amen!
New gun looks good! Can’t wait to see what happened May 1st!
haha will be here soon!
Nice new gun!
thank you!
My husband would LOVE a limited edition gun designed by you!
Love it! Happy to hear that and thanks so much for watching!
Congrats and Love the new toy, Just a heads up your shirt link is going to the shopify login page. The soft coral is a Gorgonian just a fyi.
Thank you for the heads up! And the info!
iam interested on the banana gun it all depends on the price, hopefully it wont be to expensive, and keep up the good job love your show
still haven't got there yet but wouldn't imagine they would be any more than a standard gun!
I would buy two for sure. Dibs limited edition “Banana Red Ryder” ! Or what ever you decide to name them.
haha happy to hear it!
I do like the satin finish on the new gun.
I love the look!
💯💯💯💯❤️ So I’ve also come over from Gabe and Kelly’s channels. Your and Wills channels are really good! I will do my best to comment on all y’all’s videos to help promote y’all. Even if it’s just emojis, it helps. Good luck and excited to watch y’all’s channels grow!
seriously thank you so much!!!!! happy to hear it!
Congrats on your new gun,it looks really good under water,and it definitely gets the meat
love it so far! thanks so much!
@@KeyWestWaterman sure thing
I am definitely down for a Banana 2.0.
hell yes!
Ill be the first to sign up if you release the Banana gun 2.0!!! Looking for something like that to match my 120cm koah. Love the videos as always sir!
really happy to hear that and will keep you posted! thanks so much for watching!
Definitely waiting on that shark video. Also count me in for a KOAH Spear gun. Moving to FL and would love to try spearing.
hopefully will get it out! thanks so much for watching and happy to hear it! will keep you posted!
I am learning in the cold New England waters, it’s tough,low visibility. I have many disability,the only time I am not in pain,is when I am in the water. Thanks Bearhunter5
keep at it!
Definitely interested in a gun - looks awesome!!
Happy to hear it! Thanks for watching!
Hell yes I'd take one!!! It would be perfect in Big Pine!!
I will post about them when we get some going!
Always watching your video sir here from the PHILIPPINES..😄😄
Love to hear it!
Hell yeah that gun looks good
Thank you!
I have the koah 52in Mid Plus Fatback very similar specks. I love the manoverablity and control of the handle placement. I don't know why they are not more popular. For long range precision and power in clear deep water I use my MVD carbon 120 inverted roller. Different tools for a different job.
they really are great guns. you said it, maneuverability!
Bobby, just curious, why didn't you go for the Koah 48 inch? It seems that it would be more maneuverable for the holes.
@@juanroa473 The 52 is more of a do it all reef tool and more like what I am used to
Awesome gun! I'd be interested in one depending on price. Do you think it would be possible to make a break-down travel version? I've seen some brands do this (Hotrod spearguns, Alemanni, Riffe), and it seems like the best idea to me. I've heard concerns about break down shafts breaking, but I haven't heard a single bad thing about the rifles themselves.
I'm not planning on traveling for spearfishing all the time, but I think it would be sooo worth it for those times that I would. Getting a Sportube and having to pay all that extra money to transport spearguns seems ridiculous to me.
haven't gotten that far yet but will get there! and I don't know I don't think we would ever go that route to be honest. I know other companies make them.
Definitely getting this 👌🏾
Happy to hear it!
I would be interested if you guys did a limited release. Looks good you ought to get a banana etched into the wood on top behind the handle 👌
yea I plan on getting at least one banana on it if we do!
Great video - just out of curiosity, have you ever used the Tuso speargun "scuba" setup with magnetic spare shaft slots for freeshafting, and setup for wrap mono line as well? A lot of people hate on the scuba spearing, but where I'm at in Charleston it is really tough to get good visibility less than 80ft deep. So, unless an extremely talented freediver, it is just tough. Anyways, I've run Ocean Rhino for a long time, but seeing recent video demo of the Tuso has me interested as you don't have to "bore load" it like a muzzleloader, and the magnetic shaft retainers seem pretty damn slick! Speargods make the "Evolution" spears for Ocean Rhino RX5 now that allow switching between free shaft and line shaft, but they ain't cheap! Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Cheers
I have not! I’m not a scuba guy by any means. Wish i had some feedback for ya
Thank you so much Aaron for your work. I learn a lot about spearfishing from your videos. I have in mind asking you if possible to make another gun for sale, before you said on the end. I’m interested in buying banana gun. Let me know. Thanks!
absolutely and thanks so much! will post if we decide to make a limited run of the banana guns!
Skkkkkkkkeeeeyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeewww!! Let's get some!
haha!
I would buy Banana Gun 2.0 one once you get it dialed in.
Happy to hear it!!!
Very nice gun. I’m glad you have stuck with the narration of the videos.
do appreciate the feedback!
Appreciate that you showed the torn off fish. Sucks to see but it’s an honest story line
Like to keep it real!
Congratulations on the new gun 🔫
Thank you!!!
Great video thank you.
Thank you!
Beautiful gun. Wish I could hold my breath like you. Even better, I wish I was immune to seasickness. I can never tell when it will happen. Sometimes I can be fine in 6-8ft seas and I have been miserable in 3ft. Unfortunately, I would have had to take Will's route and bail on the trip!
haha that is a bummer I've never been seasick in my life! im one of the lucky ones I suppose
You are definitely lucky. But having the ability to be on the water, any time I have the opportunity, was the reason I moved to Florida a little over a year ago.
Love the videos. You have clips about your gear, boat gun but what about your mask fins and wet suit do you have a preference or is it all good enough and it’s about color? Or maybe should I look for a brand that’s better?
I think everyone should try on their own equipment, good fitting equipment is more important and what someone else recommends. I have an older gear review video where I go over my stuff but again doesn’t mean it’s the right stuff for everybody.
Great show brother and I would love to have the Banana Gun 2.0 So please just let me know what i need to do to get one . I will actually be in Marathon the last week in July and the first week in August. We have a house in Key Colony Beach in Marathon . I would love to look you up and do some hunting .
once this round gets out we will put another into production and I will announce it again this time with more notice!
Nice gun good shoot keep 👌 up the good works 💪
Thank you!
@@KeyWestWaterman Ur welcome 🙏
The only reason I'm looking at small roller guns is I have to travel to spearfish and Washington state and less often California is where I will mostly go. So I'm thinking of a 75 roller so it will travel more easily and maybe make up a little bit for being undersized. I don't need anything bigger for Washington's limited viz. I've had recommendations on both sides of the roller/standard debate. I'm fully on board with getting better at hunting and closer and would appreciate your thoughts. I did a key west trip and I know I'm going back as soon as possible.
yea I have nothing against rollers. just don't think they are great for beginners. i'm all about efficient but not at the cost of accuracy! I could go on and on. pros and cons to both!
Yeah sign me up for one of those, Ive been thinking about an upgrade
hahah you got it brother!
