      Good afternoon... "Thanks For The Hats"!!! I'm the utility manager on Bimini, and you gave one of my workers two hats.. He gave me the Grey one.. BTW, We're both boaties and My boat is the sport fisher on the hard sitting on the barge across the way.. Anyway, Thanks, and of course I subscribed.

    Wow…. stellar diving episode Clay. This used to be my go-to diving area out of Big Pine as a boy. You and Stephanie remain a breath of fresh air these days with your always admirable ethics, videography and underwater hunting skills. Your no quit’ perseverance turned a lot of hard work into a prize to remember. I remember when you told me you were a newbie at spearfishing …. those days are gone Clay. You are sticking dinner with the best now! We’ll do e and glad to see the knife on your leg, gloves and you dive time management. You and Stephanie are a force of and for’ nature.

    I have lived in the FL. Keys (Marathon) all my life and born into a commercial fishing family.
    A year ago I made the move to Tennessee to enjoy mountain life.
    I love watching your videos, it brings me back to the world that for so many years being on the water was so much a part of my life.
    Just an observation for people that might be looking for that awesome meal at KIKI'S the location is actually on Little Tourch Key and not Big Pine Key.
    Thanks for the awesome memories you bring back!

    Hello Clay & Steph, another exciting episode for us. Nice to see how you were persistent with that huge grouper. Some years back I used to follow this guy fishing the Keys. The narration included by him was the best part of the show. Clay, your narrations are very good and on point. By now you may have figured out Flip Pallot was the Keys Fisherman I was referring to earlier. Your show has one Key Thing his did not, its because you have a Queen on board. Hint Hint!!!!!
    P.S I caught a 47lb grouper out of Destin aboard the First Light, that fish whipped my butt, but we had fillets for the freezer!!!!!

    "Welcome to the Florida Keys Aquarium I'm your Diver, Clay and today we'll be cheating." So okay I know spearfishing looks like it's cheating, simply gulp some air, dive down to where the trophy fish are and shoot one, easy!. Not so easy, I've shot a few Lingcod and Pardo in my day from the coast of Vancouver Island to the Sea of Cortez and fishing with a rod and reel is much more relaxing and you catch more fish too, the problem is you can't target the fish you want. Spearing gives you the opportunity to be selective in what you harvest, and to me that's the pleasure I derive from Spearfishing. You guys are so fortunate to be near such an insane amount of sea life, it is truly astonishing watching some of the video you have shot over the past couple of years. You really do have some of the best underwater content I have ever seen. Yet with the passion you both have for fishing of any variety you make sure to take what you need, not to fill every place that can hold ice on that gorgeous Pathfinder 2400. God has indeed blessed us with the life on this planet, and for our lives on it. Take care - Dave

    I believe spearfishing involves more fairness and immersion in comparison to fishing. With spearfishing, you have to enter the fish's environment and outsmart the fish rather than trying to trick fish into biting a line. It’s a lot more difficult than it looks! Getting a nice grouper like that is still a successful day in my book!

    Pretty good, black groupers are very elusive and very strong as well, great catch !
    PD: Everyone has different techniques while freediving/spearing but it would be a good habit of getting the snorkel off your mouth while starting to descend ( many reason to list ) I understand that the snorkel you using looks more of a Scuba oriented one than freediving but it is a good habit not to descend/spear and come up with the snorkel in the mouth.
    As always great vid, great trailer ( now I know better ), great clothing, cool wife ( fiancé I forgot ) 😀 ..
    Hasta luego.

    Hey been watching your videos for sometime and I think I might have seen you in the afternoon by Key Largo filling up on US1 around 4 of July as well ! Great content man, especially showing the reality of the spearfishing. Quick suggestion though if you go underwater again. Try your best to kill all spotted lionfish like the one hiding at @9:37 Those things are wiping out young fish numbers, it is absurd when you see it. Just do a quick google image search and type in "Lionfish stomach content" -you cant unsee the damages they do to our fish population. We gotta do our best to protect our waters and ecosystem. Plus they taste good too! Anyways hope to meet you one day in person! If you ever want to scuba and spearfish, Lmk! 😀👍

    • @LifeByTheBow

    That 2400 is such a killer rig. Just moved to central TX from FL panhandle, sold my big offshore boat. Wonder if the 2400 would be a good TX lake boat mixed with some coastal stuff. Really torn on a 24 or 26 footer…
