Appreciate a purist who cares about a fishery. Who cares what the internet warriors say
😂
lol I don't let them get to me. do my best to educate when I can
Great video! Forget the negative comments, you do this for a living and you are right, and this is the most selective and sustainable manner of fishing. Thanks for making my Monday a better day.
That's a great point honestly, I'd much rather know that I am supporting a more sustainable fishing practice than these fish being drag netted, foul hooked, or just commercially overharvested by large fishing operations.
He definitely cares about the ocean and is 100 percent real when he says the population is healthy. Fish markets and the fishermen with correct licenses here in Florida have to report every single species and weight sold daily. They have to legally and this state is very strict about it. It also goes towards science which helps out with recreational fisherman being able to harvest a fish and have bags limits rather than closures on a fish that is not in any danger. He’s definitely not taking too much. He’s real and is accurate with alot he says. He wouldn’t target any species that was even close to being in jeopardy. No drags nets or anything crazy like that going on here in Florida either.
I try to not let them bother me, thanks so much for watching. really do appreciate the support
@@bh-0330 obviously here, they are not. 👍
I get seasick really bad. So, watching you is my time on the sea. Remember, People need to eat, and you're helping the market and the people that work there and giving people like my wife and myself a place to go an enjoy a night out. So, thank you, don't worry about those who will hate. You can change the way you fish to make them happy, but they will just find something to complain about. God Bless you, your fiancée and your team. Keep them rolling, if you stop, then I will have to get seasick.
its literally allllllll in your head seasickness is no such thing,its motion sickness in general,and u just gotta get used to it,1st time i ever went i did too but slowly took dramamine enough n i go out in 4ft swells sometimes n do fine,dont give up!
Next time you are out, plug up only one ear, you wont get sea sick.
He's not that far off shore for these dives, and once you're in the water, the sea sickness abates.
@@fishingfluff I will absolutely give this a try. Thank you very much.
thats a bummer sorry to hear that but love to hear you enjoy the vids, and couldn't agree more. thanks so much
I appreciate that you are trying to make a living and also very conscious of what you take. There are many people out there that do not have you sense of responsibility to limit what you harvest. That is why hunters make the best conservationists!! Good on you Mate!!
couldnt agree more! doing my best to set a good example. thanks so much
I like how you take us on all different adventures. I find the Commercial videos just as interesting as the rest, but I'm not going commercial, lol. I think it's the life you lead that makes your videos interesting, whatever you're doing on that day, that week, that month...you're just cool to hang out with. Thank you for all you do. I truly appreciate your videos.
really love to hear you enjoy them all! keeps me motivated. just doing my best to enjoy life! thanks for coming along
Amazing video all around Aaron. Watch the video with my Son. He also enjoyed it fully. The commercial breakdown was awesome. Thank you for sharing, have a great day 🌅
really love to hear it, thanks so much.
Some people have nothing better to do than sit around picking up channels like yours just to talk smack about things they know nothing about Aaron. Your technique of fishing is the purest form and is inspirational. Don't let the naysayers kill the joy of what you do buddy. Keep it up Waterman!
I agree! I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy putting them in their place! haha thanks for tuning in
Always in for the KWW. Keep up the good work buddy. And thanks for always replying. It's really nice to watch a channel where the creator is so involved with his audience like you are. You're the man! 👍
I appreciate that you are doing what you need to survive in a responsible manner. Much respect!
thanks so much
The title says it all!
Harvesting is 100% correct.
Best ever sustainable commercial fishing.
Anyone critiscising your commercial activities?
Obviously doesn't/won't/can't understand Harvest not slaughtering!
couldn't agree more! thanks so much for watching.
Never gets old I'm retired and really look forward to the action .. Thx
love to hear it! thanks for tuning In as always!
Dibs, I'm a buddy of bluegabe, keep doing what your doing. Don't listen to the haters! Love your show!
really appreciate it! I don't let em get to me!
If you get negative comments, show them a pic of a commercial fish net and how many animals are actually killed including dolphin! I love that you hand pick each fish and no others get harmed. Thank you for taking us along! ❤
Your environmental ethos is authentic and legit. Not trendy like most. Another great video!
thanks so much, love to hear that.
well said!
You owe no one an explanation on what you do Aron. You don't over fish spots, and you do everything humanely. Keep doing what you do. You keep the economy going and support local businesses. God bless You brother.
thanks so much
Your so self conscious Aaron… Which is not a bad thing brother!
A lot of people just don’t understand and are ignorant to what you’re doing!… I for one completely understand ,and hats off to you and what your doing bro!!!
Great catch for the land lovers to enjoy in there restaurants and to buy at market!!!
Luv wut you doing and the life you and your fiancé are living!!!
Ted
I try to be "aware" and do my best to educate others on what I think is right. really appreciate the support thanks so much for tuning in! 🙏
Thx for the breakdown! BTW.....surf if 5-7 tomorrow up here in Satellite Beach......jellyfish are real bad though
im jelly! I saw it was pumpin!
Aaron, great video. For me these are the ones that really jack me up. This is the world I grew up in. Honestly though most our dives were with scuba. I consider these videos your center and all the others an art form around it. Your not just a fisherman. You have an ability to edit and produce quality video, tells a story. Most have a beginning, middle and a end. Some big shot movie exec should scoop you up and put you to work on a larger platform. Again great work my friend and God Bless
really love to hear you enjoy them that much! def figuring it out as a go, the back end work is starting to become one of my favorite things. thanks so much for taking the time to share.
glad to have you back. Hope all is well . Thanks for posting again.
I didn’t go anywhere! Thanks for tuning in
Man I cant believe how deep yall are dropping without tanks! That's awesome!
For diver's of their caliber, it's not super deep.
@@mattgurin6168 well Tim is impressed. I am always impressed. Then there is you Matt. Smh. 😂
I know, My deepest FREE_DIVE is 30 feet ! That was without fins or a mask ! I sometimes got nervous if I gave myself time to come back to the surface !
@@Captain_Clark_CDoryAdventures didn't say I wasn't impressed, I never was able to go deeper than 30 ft. Crazy the caliber of these free divers, I have friends here locally that are doing 90 to 100 ft and I bet you Aaron can do that
lots of practice! thanks for tuning in
I really enjoy watching these commercial videos. The spearing, the narration and breaking down the numbers.
love to hear it!
Yep, pay NO attention to all the keyboard warriors who cant zoom out and see the big picture. Absolutely love the channel, Aaron. Keep plowing man!
haha I don't pay them much mind! thanks for tuning in
I’ve been looking at your old videos trying to catch up to be able to date so far I liked all the videos
love to hear that!
I for one, really love these commercial dive videos!
Love to hear it 🙏🏻
Glad this one came up in my feed... This definitely makes me appreciate the fresh fish that I eat at some of these restaurants. I would gladly pay a premium for fish harvested this way over farmed or netted any day.
been working on an arrangement like that! would be cool to see it on the menu or list at a market.
Stoned or not I'm watching ❤️🌊 I dive everyday and still end my days watching your video
haha love to hear that
Kudos for sustainably and responsibly harvesting. You are to be commended.
thanks so much!
Hello Aaron... Thank you for your honesty and integrity,... its truly refreshing ... you give us , your viewers , the straight scoop, ...no baloney! so many other you tubers should have been politicians , all they want is to hear themselves talk. You do just the opposite which , in my opinion is fantastic. Please keep up all the good work .
That said , I'm from Rhode Island and the only species we really have there to shoot is Striped Bass, Tautog, and Blue fish, which are extremely easy to distinguish from one another. Is there any possibility that you might identify the fish you shoot either vocally or with a caption , so we may learn the numerous variety of fish that you hunt , please? Thanks
really appreciate the kind words! from day one my goal has been to educate, entertain, and inspire. hopefully I've stayed true to that. and happy to start naming the species. actually working on a fish ID video.
Love how you gut the fish as you go excellent harvest
Saves time!
Very nice. I totally agree. This is the best way to commercial fish. Selective and accurate. You won't feed a tuna cannery but for the restaurant and fish market trade? Ideal!
glad you enjoyed it! thanks for tuning in!
@@KeyWestWaterman I wasn't expecting free diving (I have been watching headhunters). I wish I could still hold my breath like that.
Nice ! Good vid with instruction thrown in... Enjoy all vids you put out ! Thanks for taking us along. Cheers !
thanks so much as always!
I fully 110% agree with u. Spear and pole fishing is very responsible way of harvesting the ocean or lake.... ~~~~~~
thanks for watching!
Great footage Aaron. Enjoyed that teamwork.
thanks so much
Always out here watching and enjoying your videos of big investment, tons of work and responsibility, always flirting with danger or injury for a meager return. I admire your guts and gumption and consider you a fine steward of what we have been blessed with. You are open, honest, and a prime example of hard work paying dividends. Be safe and keep em coming.
Rick from New Mexico
really appreciate the kind words! doing my best to enjoy life and make a living while i'm at it!
Again , love the underwater videos. Much respect, people who complain don't realize what it takes to be successful, of course they are also expecting the freshest fish when dining out. Thumbs up Aaron, without responsible fisherman such as yourself our resources wouldn't be what they are today.
lol you nailed it there! thanks so much for tuning in glad you enjoy the video!
I have to say Aaron I admire your ethics as a fisherman. If half the people in Florida had your ethics our waters would be unbelievable
try to do some good here and there, I love filling the cooler just as much as the next guy but theres a time and place for it!
Zach taking those tough shots and stoning both...another level.
hes a shooter!
Big thumbs-up from me,thankyou.... and chills me out.All the very best Joyce England UK
thanks so much as always!
Enjoyed your discussion at 11:07 about the expanse of the harvest area and current health of fish populations.
love to hear it, try to shed some light on things that aren't obvious while watching from yalls end.
Don't comment AARON, I know your busy. Just letting you know I really enjoy these commercial fishing videos. Thanks for sharing man. Have a good one!
can't help myself! thanks for watching!
Another great video. Thanks. I'm disabled and I love going fishing with you even if it's only in my imagination.
really love to hear it!
Best kind of commercial fishing possible. I enjoyed watching.
thanks so much!
Clicked back, I forgot to hit you with a thumbs up. I love your commercial trips, but you’re not kidding on serious work to make a few bucks even though it’s fun. I know you’ve said in the past you would love to do RUclips full time. I definitely want more videos from you. Mondays such, but then I think oh yea, new Key west waterman video tonight. So how many subscribers do you need to go full time lol. Keep great videos coming.
really appreciate it! and it would be pretty wild if I ever could. we shall see. don't know that I could completely stop charters. taking it as it comes.
Love that you never miss the 'welcome back underwater'.
Its something I look forward to in ever dive video lol
haha love to hear that, becoming a staple!
Much respect. Glad you keep it real . It looks adventurous and fun which it is but your clarity of thought and your protection of the whole body of fish is critical for sustainability. Safe driving:)
thanks so much!
Sounds like a fun hobby but a tough way to make a living. I will sit behind the computer for work and fish for fun. Thanks for the view behind the scenes.
thanks for tuning in
Love it when you fan out the broom tails. Gives me flash backs! Thanks man!!
they are my fav!
Nothing better than fresh fish for sure
agreed!
Great office you work in with spectacular 360 degree scenery. Hard work does pay but it doesn't hurt to play a little bit. Keep having a blast on each dive it will make you stronger and you'll really live longer. You only have one life to live so keep living your way.
im giving hell! thanks so much for tuning in!
Thanks for the work and thanks for your time to produce the video's. Cheers
Thanks for tuning in! 🙏🏻
I am literally (I don't use that word lightly) striving to get financially capable of moving to the keys to do what you do! Not so much running a charter, but just living this life!
Didn’t come easy but it is doable! Keep on keepin on!
Always like to watch your channel no matter what you are doing. We fish through you ALL THE TIME!
really love to hear that!
Fantastic work my friend ! I don’t see myself ever diving like that but I can appreciate those who do. Awesome footage as usual. Thanks for the videos , you make Monday’s better !
love to hear it! thanks so much
Love the videos. Back country are my favorite. Love knowing fish I may eat in the area is caught responsibly versus off a giant commercial ship.
alot of the fish down here are harvested this way!
Why can I only like this once. I watched it twice. Haha. Thanks for the video.
haha love it!
As always, thanks for your honesty/integrity and trying to explain to people - in a calm voice - why what you are doing isn't "evil".
Also, I know you always brain, bleed and gut and that you still bleed them for the market is a standup move as it does lose you a few bucks! It's almost like you want customers to have the fish as well preserved as when you're harvesting for yourself;-).
what a refreshing comment! haha really appreciate it, and you're correct, that fact that i'm taking these creatures lives, I want them to be enjoyed in their most pure form as to respect each fish.
Beautiful looking day 😎
it was!
Nice haul. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for watching!
Love Mondays!!! Your gonna have me diving in no time! Love the video!
haha love to hear it!
After a long day, watching these men work hard is super relaxing!
haha
Nice harvest! Great blessing from the ocean!
Indeed!
Thankyou for taking us on your dives. 14hrs geez. I dive for 3-4hours and I’m beat. Total respect for you guys
it'll def wear you out!
Believe I've watched just about all of your crab and lobster harvesting and now I'm onto fish! Really diggin' your channel keep up the amazing vids!
love to hear it! thanks so much for tuning in!
It’s refreshing to see some proper
spear fishing!! That spot you hit with the really big boulders was beautiful.
glad you enjoyed it!
thanks again for your awesome videos. I really appreciate how you take a few and then make a move to another place. that way saving future fishery. God Bless and stay safe 🙏
thanks so much for watching 🙏
Thanks for sharing so much details and teaching.
happy to!
Awesome video! There is context, a story and great 1st person and 3rd person points of view, excellent and conscientious divers who know what they’re doing. Can’t get better than that! Forget the internet crazies, almost all of them order and enjoy fish at a restaurant.
thanks so much, love to hear you enjoyed it
Excellent capt.
thank you!
I ONE MILLION AGREE I WAS A ALASKA FISHERMAN BEFORE FOR FOUR YRS OUT OF DUTCH AND I WAS ON A LONGLINING PROCESSING VESSEL AND THE BY CATCH WASNT MUCH IN MY TIME THERE BUT IT ALL CONTRIBUTES TO IT AND I AGREE THAT SHOOTING ONE BY ONE IS THE BEST MOST SUSTAINABLE
yea it depends on the are and the target fish, but zero is the goal for me.
I agree and both of you have the same name Aaron 🤜🤛💯
Great vid , great trip . Thanks for sharing & keeping it real.
thanks for tuning in!
Considering how much I just paid for a grouper filet at Publix, I'd be glad to join you and help out. Good stuff -- thanks for sharing your work life and wisdom in a positive way.
haha they def aren't cheap! thanks so much for the positive feedback.
I believe you do a great job at taking just what you need to survive. I don`t know why people have a bad review I don't think that's true from the comments left on your channel. Great video and insight on your platform.
can't make everyone happy! going to live my life regardless. thanks for the positive feedback 🙏
Love the footage and descriptions,
You're a hard worker who cares - you rock🤙
thanks so much!
Good job, Aaron.
thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing the info. interesting to see the bottom line. It does look like a lot of work for the money. Good thing you love the work. Thanks again.
happy to share! thanks so much for watching
Ignore the haters, people are going to criticize no matter what you do. I enjoy these videos and I’m inspired to try some free diving in the future.
couldn't agree more! thanks so much for tuning in
love this one hope to see more
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your vedios i can’t wait for Monday’s 6:pm God bless you an your family
love to hear it!
Cool episode! You are doing Great.
thanks for watching!
I am a commercial spear fisherman about 900 miles north of you. These are my favorite videos. I see why the people like the mangrove island stuff but I'm all about the open water. I play by the SAFMC rules also, be they ever changing. Splitting the Hogfish quota was a great step in rebuilding the keys population.
really love to hear it! whole different ball game making a living commercial much respect! don't get to do these as much as I'd like but blessed to have the charter side of things busy. and I agree! should see some serious result in a few years hopefully.
Great episode! Thanks for sharing
glad you enjoyed it!
Glad you got the chance to share another commercial trip with us, it’s been a while. Looked like a bunch of fun amd some pretty dang good fishing. Thanks for sharing!
always enjoy them, had to make up for some missed charters! thanks for coming along
I’m happy to have the opportunity!
That was not just a good video but it was informative of what people like you have to go through if you have a cancellation this is something that I did not know and it was a great video
love to hear it! thanks so much for tuning in
Top notch professional video Sir. Thanks for sharing 👍.
thank you sir!
So on the Commercial Dives I saw you Explain that the Market buys them Without the guts.. (I edited the Comment because I heard you Explain on another Video) .. Thanks for the Awesome Content Aaron
thanks for watching!
One of the best RUclips channels 🔥
glad you enjoy it!
i have worked on boats from 12 years to no i am 56 now and you fish better then anything i have done with a net or long line good job
thats a hell of a run! really appreciate that
Great video brother,your videos and coffee,make mornings pretty good.
Lots to hear it!
@@KeyWestWaterman most definitely
Wow!nice adventure!
thanks for coming along
Another great video thanks Arron, keep them coming 👍👍
My bad Aaron lol
That’s pretty cool getting paid for what you love to do
more on the way!
I love the commercial stuff. Such a cool industry that you hardly ever see any of. And the spots are always 🔥🔥🔥
glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video - very informative on technique and certainly gives us an idea of how tough the commercial end of the business is.
thanks for tuning in!
I told my kids when they were younger...Find something you love to do any try to find a way to make a living at it....Aaron, you sure have done that...And F the haters...they're just jealous
I was lucky enough to find something like that!
Great video! Lots of respect for what you do. More power to you.
thanks so much
Awesome footage, great content, I love the commercial ones.
love to hear it! thanks so much for tuning in!
Fishing with friends... living the dream.
im tryin!
Appreciate the honesty, Nice perspective mate. Well done on the video, Hello from Aussie, enjoyed the content. Dive safe, Eat well! 🐟🤿🤙🤠🦘
glad you enjoyed it! thanks so much for tuning in!
really awesome how you immediately showed the depth/fish👍🏻🇺🇸
try to show as much info as possible
You're always going to get the haters, and I bet plenty of them eat fish as well. Fishing for a living has 'kind of' been around for a long time, and no question spearing is a sustainable way to harvest. Even as a recreational fisherman, I'm always out to get my limit - I don't fish for sport anymore, I fish to eat and feed my family. Regulations + time on or in the water = self sustainability. Bring on those groceries Aaron 👍🏼
couldn't agree more, always gonna be someone who disagrees. thanks so much for tuning in.
Another great upload thanks for dropping them bangers,big catch 💙
im tryin! thanks so much
Dude I just watched your episode where you drive through the water spout that stuff was unreal unbelievable how cool
Haha was pretty wild!
