Nice ! I love it when a plan comes together, and you get to go home early with a bathtub full of meat !
right!
Hell yes. Well done solo sword. Gave me a heart attack when that sword flashed by your face as you hauled him over the rail. Subscribed.
haha thanks! yea it was a close one, I hesitated, should have let her back down and bleed out some more. ya live and learn!
So sick. Nothing to say other than wow.
Jarod Waldman3 haha glad you like the vids! Love the feedback really appreciate it.
Great job Captain Aaron!!! That fish is gonna be delish:)
It was incredible! A must try!
Love sword-fish. Mmmm Gooood. Nice catch.
me too! thanks so much for watching!
A little scary Arron when that sword started to head shake @ gunnel. Excellent job. Be safe captain
28hydrasport haha yea that could’ve been bad. I hesitated, shoulda let em bleed a little longer after that reaction but decided to go for it instead! Got lucky!
Great job Aeron!
thank you sir!
Mr. Swordfish, are you a vet?
I am.
Thank you for your service😊
lol
Congratulations on your awesome catch
thank you!
I love when ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE and the deck is covered in blood!!!!!!....just found you and love your channel
Anthony Foglio haha me too! Really appreciate that thanks for watching!
solo sword fishing, hmm I might have to try that one day. amazing as always Captain, cheers
it can be really tricky, and honestly dangerous if you're not careful, I had a close call with this fish and its bill, shoulda let her bleed a bit longer but I got lucky!
right by the yankee! long range trip on my bucket list
haha yup! its must do! they absolutely crush it!
Go for it man! love your channel, Paul Melbourne Australia. Cheer's.
haha thanks brother! thanks for tuning in from across the world! glad you enjoy the channel!
@@KeyWestWaterman Cheer's mate.
Wow that was nuts. Loose plan, winging it and wound up with a real nice catch. Thought you were gonna get skewered pulling him over the rail. 🤙🏽
haha that's normally when it goes well! when I wing it! I got really lucky honestly, I let her bleed out for a solid 5 mins, thought she was done and turned on when I tried to pull her in, split second decision. shoulda dropped her back down for a few but made for some good action! lol
Gotta love gettin it done on a solo trip
love it! sometimes it just all comes together!
That was super cool dude great job.
thank you sir!
Great job captain
thank you!!!
Welldone KEY
thank you!
Love the shows. I get to share with my Wisconsin buddies. Keep on keepin on
Appreciate ya watching! plenty of good stuff coming up!
End result...Grilled to perfection!!
Haha! gotta try it! like a pork chop filet!
Man, that looks delicious!
It was!
Impressive work!
haha thank you!
Trick to cooking thicker meats through is to finish them in the oven. 350 for a few minutes and voila.
yea thats what I do with thicker filets like grouper and cobia! works great!
pretty work on the ol mud dart! love the content keep it coming.
as for suggestions, lets see some full moon snapper trips this summer
its not gonna stop! and thats def gonna happen! I just can't wait until may 1 when grouper opens!!!
Great job solo sword hungry looking at dinner
haha for sure! love me some sword fish!
Just found your channel. Big fan. Keep it up!
Glad you enjoy the channel! lots more to come!
Awesome catch there sir thanks for sharing awesome videos
thanks for watching!
Awesome videos as always man! Would love to see some tackle videos on your deep drop/sword setups! Similar to the one you did for the gun!!! Stay safe, hopefully they will open up the keys here soon.
Awesome! thats definitely doable! thanks for the feedback ill squeeze a gear breakdown into a sword or deep dropping episode! thanks for watching!
Glad he didnt get you with that bill! we went swordfishing yesterday and 5 minutes into the first drop we got a nice bite, completly slacked off before we could even set the hook . he shook lose and left us with a big looped up tangle. fished 8 more hours without a bite. Its always something with the swords lol!
Haha yes I got extremely lucky! Coulda been bad, lucky made it out with just a couple bruises! That scenario sounds all too familiar! Swordfish drive me crazy, but days like this one are what keep us coming back I suppose!!!
@@KeyWestWaterman thats right. i notice you have an interesting technique on driving that hook. ive been trying alot of different things recently because ive been having bad luck with just loading the rod over and setting it with heavy drag.. dozens of hooks pulled the last few months and i just cant seem to find the right tech. agreed when u said its the most controversial part lol
BroadBill Hunter yea I’ve lost my share of fish trust me. I haven’t been told by so many veterans set the hook early and hard. If it’s gonna pull might as well pull early. It’s hurts a lot worse when you see the fish!
Thats one nice big swordfish i like fishing them but what i like more is filleting them and i have recorded many videos of that as you will watch on mine but i am feilling like i should join you someday soon.
haha I love it! I enjoy filleting all fish been doing it since I was a little kid! thanks for watching!
When you cut to the kitchen you look like Kramer from Seinfeld lol 😅
haha I take that as a compliment!
Great work. First time viewer. I like the fact that you fish solo.
Welcome! hope you like the vids! A lot of people frown upon it but Its good for me , I really enjoy the solitude!
Just found this channel and I can tell this is gonna blow up keep at it😁
Really appreciate that! having a lot of fun making the vids! thanks for taking the time to share!
Nice sword! Super impressive solo mission.
thank you sir! love going out solo, its my happy place!
Great video man keep it up! Maybe we will head down that way for some bugs and sun!
haha thank you sir! lobster season will be here before you know it!
If you ever need a mate on solo days I'm here for ya!
Haha I gotchu brotha!!!
Love your videos bro
really appreciate the feedback! more to come!
Great video.....new subscriber here. I'm in Big Pine, love deep dropping and looking to get into swordfishing. Thanks for the tips!
Welcome! hope you enjoy the content! lots more to come!
Living the life. I know nothings perfect, but...
Im doing my best to try!
Awesome man good job.Hope I can get a sword soon.
persistence pays!!!!
You should incorporate some catch clean and cook into your videos, think it would attract a lot more views, great vid!
I'll start throwing some more in there! On my commercial trips all the fish goes to the market so no fish for me! haha appreciate the feedback brother!
I usually eat my swordfish with rice and etouffee. Yours looks pretty good. I'll have to give that a shot 🤙🤙
Swordfish Is such a strange fish consistency wise in my opinion, this is one of my favorite ways to do it!
I like my sword fish with Brown sugar , butter , ginger, pinch of salt . Fresh pineapple 🍍 it’s key . Grilled medium rare. Oh Yeah ! Grill pineapple apple then put on fish so as to not over cook fish . Fresh ginger is best .
man that sounds fire!!! Im out of sword right now im gonna go have to catch one so I can try!
By driving forward aren’t you going taking scope out of the line and allowing the bait to fall or feed the bait to the swordfish? If you’re stemming the current then you would want to go in reverse to get slack out of line and set the hook while your drag is locked down. I don’t know if you were stemming the current or which way your boat was facing when you drove the hook. Nice fish dude!
all depends on which way you're fishing, how strong of current, and which way the fish is swimming once it eats. sword fishing in my opinion is 50% speculation and 100% luck.
Trop top vieux.
I wish I knew what that meant!
Hey Aaron I noticed the Yankee Captain boat iFish Yankee Fleet up here in Gloucester Massachusetts are they part of the same company do you know
to be honest I do not know! greg the runs the yankee captain here is from up that way but I don't know for sure if they are affiliated
Nice
very!
@@KeyWestWaterman grazie amico mio mi piace tutto cio che riguarda la pesca del pesciespada. Ti saluto
Mad . Sword fish are definitely on the top of the hit list for myself. We only really get them in winter over hear in Australia but we get some monster . People are just starting to catch them now . Any advice to try and get my first one ?
yea I hear all of yalls are monsters! my biggest piece of advice is patience and persistence! lol!
Ciao amico mio fammi vedere come prepari le esche per i pesci spada ammiro la tua tecnica di pesca
I am making a video about rigging my swordfish bait soon!
Do a video walk through of your boat and how it’s set up please!!!
its in line to be released! along with a repower video of my new engines!
Nice again!!! You sure that's only 100#?
haha thanks! yea it was right at 100!
Awesome day .how do you tie fish belly to lure
we sew it on with wax line. im actually gonna make a video of rigging a sword bait!
Great video! Can I ask you what rod is it?
it is a custom rod made here in key west, Esky rods!
where'd you get that harpoon gaff? i'm looking for 1 right now.
I have no idea it's been so long.
what pound liter were you using for the sword?
Noah McDermott the short leader is 300# the long leader to the mainline is 220#
Is there a better time of year to catch swordfish in key west, or is it a year round fishery? Great video
I catch them year around, but I feel like they are more active in the winter months.
hi, can you teach me how to rig swordfish bait? would love to try it here, what other things i need like sinkers, lights thanks
Yes! im gonna make a more in-depth video on rigging for sword fish!
Do they not buy swordfish from you? I would think that would be a hell of a payday. Depending on the size you can get 5k or more. One cool thing about Catalina the one restaurant in two harbors where I lived and worked would buy fish from you from time to time
In California it’s pretty cool the swordfish come up to the surface to basically sunbathe and warm up. They can warm the soft tissue in their head so they can go back down deep and hunt in that 56 degree water
So u can literally drive up to them and harpoon them when they are sun ☀️ bathing lol pretty crazy
yea I've heard about that! pretty wild! and its a separate permit to sell swords I don't have that one!
Whats the brand name of that elec reel and who sells them?Thanks for the fishing trip!
That’s an LP1200 Bad to the bone system!
Jesse is right, its a Lindgren Pittman 1200, a work horse to put it lightly, took me 4 years to save up enough money to buy it lol!
@@TradingWithJesseW Thanks Bro!
@@KeyWestWaterman Thanks Bro!

Gotta question why dont you take extra rods out in case of mahi or some othe pelagic fish swimming up to you
BrandoN Olewiler i had a couple spinners up on the T top! But i do forget on occasion. Sometimes we don’t bring any if we really want to focus on swordfishing so there are no distractions.
You preserve the tail? Turn it into a trophy like the bills?
I do! hang em on a tree!
Hey man! What angle rod holder are you using for your LP?
depends what i'm doing with it, in this vid I think I was fishing the 30
@@KeyWestWaterman I’m mainly going to use it for swordfish as my tip rod I’m fishing a smaller Center console like yourself
Do you ever shoot them in the head with a .22 ?
I know trollers do that on the West Coast here when they have to land a 50-60 lb Chinook.
nah normally just hit them with the harpoon! the smaller ones we just gaff
Hey aaron i would love to meet you and maybe even fish with u is there a possibility we can get in contact i spearfish and also know how to throw cast net i would love to have that opportunity with you
haha you can reach me on the instagram page @dibsonbottom_adventures or just drive down to key west I'm not hard to find! will be doing a free trip giveaway soon! details will be on the instagram page
Can you do a video where you break down your daytime swordfish rig
Leader, amount of weight, rigging a mahi belly, etc
Yea! absolutely can do a more in-depth vid on that! waiting for my sword reel to get back from service!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍
Thanks for watching!
how much is a swordfish permit?
commercial I have no idea. last I heard 15 grand but that was years ago.
Hey buddy is there info for chatters i would love to do one
My website is www.dibsonbottomkeywest.com
Can't you sell swordfish
Swordfish is one of the permits I do not have.
WOW if that bill hit you, brah you'd be killed.....
haha yea it was a close one, thought she was done. made a split second decision and it was the wrong one. It actually hit me three times, once in the arm, once in the shoulder and once in the leg, just a couple nasty bruises, but consider myself lucky! you live and you learn!
