My boys have asked to watch this video so many times now! They love seeing all the lobsters peeking out from under the coral & want to go lobster hunting 😂
haha I love that! tell them thank you!
Who doesn’t love getting spoiled randomly! Thanks captain.
haha thanks for watching!
In you and Clams best Forest Gump voice
Lobster rolls. Fried lobster, grilled lobster, lobster salad, lobster cocktail, stuffed lobster. Boiled lobster. Haha want it all!!!
😂
@KeyWestWaterman also that grouper that saw you when you came around that ledge looked like he said oh crap. Then it litteraly looked like he had relief in his eyes knowing you didn't have a spear gun aimed at him. Haha
Back to back love it
haha
😀
😳😲😯😏😉🤭🤫😋 thats so cool. Reassuring that true sportsmanship and conservation works . 🤙
🙏
Love the new angle on the boat (approx. 5:00 marker) where it looks like you're basically running at a fast rate on the water #keywestjesus
haha
I also loved the Spanish lobsters cooking the other day. I never had one before. I am sure they are tasty
they are amazing!
Awesome spots brother. Poor turtle. So get ready for crazy mini season
indeed!
Holy Moly brotherino! The opener is going to be killer! Cant wait to see your haul. Keep doing what you are doing because we are absolutely loving this through you. Waterman, Clams and Paddelin forever!!!
glad you enjoyed it!
Viz winds and seas were terrible out in the Contents. Came back to Key West inflated the paddle boards and paddled south off the beach with all our lobster gear. Great visibility & ended up doing ok in 10-20 ft.
that's awesome love to hear it! it was def less than ideal!
Mini season is about to be 🔥..I saw more antennas than a 1960s alien movie.
haha
Thanks for bringing us along...
🙏
Heading to key west on Saturday. Fishing, diving, spearing and lobstering. At the Galleon. Buy you, Madelin and Will a drink if you get down there. Stay safe next few days.
lobster is closed on Saturday! lol enjoy the trip.
@@KeyWestWaterman yes. I’m there for 2 1/2 weeks. We wait for regular season. If you ever get into downtown, let me know. I’ve been doing this for over 25 years, getting older and harder to keep up. Enjoy. We have harvested a few Spanish in the past.
Niño (the kid) the best sound of Key West
thanks for watching!
Great lobster selfie.
haha
Those coral heads are STACKED
indeed!
Buddy I am so proud of you for what you have accomplished. I’ve been watching for about a month now and I’m hooked. Awesome channel!!! I remember when you were a grom surfing Playalinda with your brothers. 🥰
man time does fly! really appreciate it brother and hope all is well!
^same I’ve been watching a month a friend from the keys show me the channel, so so cool
@@KeyWestWaterman yeah man doing well.
Hey what's up my dude am a big fan of yours my name is Stenneth williams but every one calls me booker I am from Jamaica but I live in New Jersey. I use to do spear diving back home in Jamaica for a living. I love watching your channel my G it's very educational.
love to hear it Stenneth! thanks so much for to tuning in! 🙏
GoodLuck for mini season 🫶
thank you!
2 videos in 2 days!?! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 YAHOOOO🎉🎉🎉
haha
Oh Snap! 2 in a row! Nice! Thanks!
thanks for watching!
We go out of Cudjoe around the blimp, Good Luck Buggin. We seem to find more keepers in the limestone pocket holes in the turtlegrass.
best of luck!
Bonus!!!!!❤ lesh goooo!!! P.s. Found that "night spot" . The lobs are gone!!! Syke!!! Cant make it, first time in 15 yrs😢😢😢❤
haha
@KeyWestWaterman u got em' all on that radar from night Spanish lobs!! Lol❤️😉
After watching this video and previous ones from your channel, I felt the necessity to go out on day one of mini season . We did so good that by 8:30 am we already had our limit. Only took 1/12 hour to accomplish the catch. I have a small channel on RUclips that I am trying to grow for my grandkids. They are the reason why I open it. My videos are not professional like yours, I don’t even have a GoPro or under water camera. I try to do my best with my phone. Hopefully one day in the near future, I go down and meet you in person. To me, you are the best diver and commercial fisherman in key west . Sincerely: Pipo
thats amazing love to hear you had an awesome day! best of luck!
Stop....those lobster are endangered!! 😝 OMG.....that is ridiculous!! Some would call that infestation!! Have a great week!
😂
My goodness, lobster rolls forever!
seriously
Great video. Jealous of those coral spots. I traveled by boat in 17 from Cape Coral with friends who live there for lobster. Seven of us. Not being local we were diving grassy fields with ledges and saw some but only came up with 14 keepers over two days.
sounds like you did better than most. apparently it was pretty slow for people
Crazy they used to think of them as 🪳 would not eat them. My how times change!!😊
really is wild
Looking forward to see the video of you harvesting your spiny lobster limit😀I hope to see Madeleine back on the boat fishing or diving with you again soon😀
soon!
We love you videos by the way. I think we’re all caught up. We binged watched 😅
🙏
You should do a video about breath holds like how to breath up properly and how to improve breath hold you got me into free diving and it seems my breath ups are the most important. I want to go deeper.
I plan on covering it a little bit!
Can you say lobster!!!! WOW!
lobster
Ik darn well it's Tuesday...😊❤
haha
For anyone willing to learn something the clacking/grinding noise you hear is coming from the boat shifting and it’s an unhealthy way to shift you round the teeth on the gears outboards are meant to shift in and out quickly this could save you thousands on a new lower unit
intersting
@@KeyWestWaterman I could send you pictures on instagram tomorrow if you are interested to see what it does
Sea spiders everywhere. WOW!
lots
Thanks for the preview. Can't wait for the catch & supper video. Keep filming we'll keep watching!!!
🙏
That was a great idea with the banana leaf and the KWW.! Awsome bro great job. I seen Wills hat to with the CWC on the hat in the class mouth, pretty cool! Dang brother you have a infestation going on under your coral heads! Alot of shorts but great population! Lol! Awsome season! My brother left thismorning heading down there! Awsome thanks for the video!!
haha right! thanks for tuning in!
Logo on the hat looks really cool!
thank you!
Nice to see those Lobsters thriving there. Thanks
thanks for watching!
8:34 lol Every time I lobster out of Key West every ledge seems to have a nice grouper under it… but when I go back a couple days later… no groupers… it’s like they know 😂
haha
That one toward the end who stood his ground, that was epic ! I would make him the first one for the pot since he certainly looked like a keeper.. And that shot of you laying head down toward the ledge, Classic..
haha thought that was neat!
Sea turtle catch and cook! Tell Will! There was plenty of meat on the collar! I'd say a whole pound!
lol
We are looking at your boat right now. Cool boat!
🤷♂️
Oh my ***,.......soooo many bugs !!!!
haha
Time to Tango in Buggland.....LOL!!😎🪳🤿
haha right!
Thanks for taking us along! Can you give your take on the repeatedly reported insane water temps and if you're experiencing it and any effects? Appreciate your uploads. Take care

Being nice beautiful fishing grounds water is so crystal clear and I was hog fish that paddle and Madeline got in that one fish to go to almost away from me and the dog snapper. Laugh out loud😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
thanks for watching!
Nice video, I'll be sure to look under every rock hoping to see something like this. But I really prefer the ole onesie twosie situation.
It’s much easier to handle
I did find a rock with a few dozen, but I picked up the big guys around it. It was looking good in my spots south of you.
That is the photos that your buddy needs to capture stills. Awesome scouting
right!
I've been down here since Friday. Concentrated on blue water, Thanks for the update.
🙏
2:30, Good Grief! Hotel!
haha right!
Wow, that's a LOT of lobster under 1 rock
it really was!
lol, hey babe gonna go lobster miniseason, no worries just gonna hit these two rocks and be back 8 minutes!!!
😂
Dang Sooo Many !!!!!
right
Look how they're bunched up. Wow
wild!
Can’t wait for the video of tomorrow’s spiny catch. Definitely on my list of things I want to do. Not something we can do here in Texas.
see ya Monday!
Thanks for the free diving lobster fantasy will be Blue Crabbing until October then onto harvesting Oysters until May 24 . Next Lobster fest for me is Aug 24. Peace be with you!
thanks for coming along
Dibs lobasta farm, holy shit man!
haha
A bonus video! Yay! Love seeing the flora and fauna of those coral heads. Looks like lots of bugs worth getting. Looking forward to seeing you catch and cook those beauties. Good Luck!!
🙏
You didn’t mention the amount of people that get run over, get the bends or just crash their boat in these two days😮Miami baby 😍
enjoy!
That's a spicy meatball.
indeed
Jewfish Basin looks good this year
always does!
Cool vibe, thanks KWW.
Cheers to the mini.
🙏
Wow! I’ve never seen a spot that loaded. Good luck with the craziness of mini season, I’ll be down for regular season in Aug.
thank you!
Very excited to see some lobster videos again? I think they may be my favorite. Always impressed with how catch them with the noose. I’m hoping at some point to come try out mini season. Looks like a great time
will be out soon! thanks for tuning in!
What a fun day. There’s tons of bugs! Hope your ears are feeling better. Have a Blessed Night 😊🦞
they are! thank you!
Awesome footage! Thanks for creating and sharing this! Got me excited for mini season and I just learned about it just now. :D
glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome! I’ll be down there for regular commercial season. Thanks for getting me stoked! Looking forward to your mini season video(s)!
can't wait!
Love seeing two in a row! Thanks 😁
thanks for watching!
Makes me want to get back to key west !!
haha
Great preview! Look forward to seeing the results.
You and me both!
Holy crap.. That Key West guy accidently showed his saved spots page. Pause it right there. Boom!
For two days those guys dove finding nothing. Wasn't until the 3rd day after it was over did they realise all the fav spots page formed a happy face when you zoomed out.. Good one KWW. Good one.
lol you lost me
Tuesday??? Okay! I’m down for 2 in a row.
who knew!
So many bugs! Cant wait for recipes... Thank you for the extra vid. :)
🙏
Thanks 😊
thanks for watching!
Great video Aaron! Wow, extra KWW, sweet! I’d say I was surprised you released this before mini season, but I’m not. You show it as it is. That’s who you are and why we watch the honest guy. Love it. I know a commercial guy like you has tons of spots, but I guarantee, locals know what you just showed and were like ‘sweet’ or ‘stop showing my spot’. Lol. Others won’t know. Grow up people.
Thanks for sharing!!!
always appreciate the positive feedback! 🙏
OMG I can’t believe all the Grovers and lobsters on the first spot you jumped in!
was wild!
Good fishing my man! I can’t wait to see the next video featuring mini-season.
🙏
Yep, those will be some tasty morsels. Looking forward to the video.
Can't wait!
Can’t wait will be there for opener. Great video!
looking forward to it!
My God the traffic is bad this year! Happy diving 👍
every year!
You’d almost think there’s an infestation!
They’re delicious but gosh damn they’re gross all stacked up like that!
haha right
Go Aaron go 😊
haha
That’s insane. We were out of jewfish basin and ran all the way west and we didn’t see anything stacked with lobster like that. You’re a magician for sure. Hope to see you before we leave. Keeping the boat right down the canal from you. Was wearing your shirt today for good luck and it got to rough to stick it out on the south side so we hit north side and it got very rough on the gulf as well.
maybe it was just isolated spots! best of luck to yall stay safe out there! 🙏
Great stuff. Be safe
Micky C
always!
OMG. Awesome!!!
🙏
such an epic rig for lobstering, that new noe'!
love it!
Bahaha! Stacked is right. Lots of small ones, but that means next year is looking good too.
As far as the hat, I noticed KWW right away, but could see how others might miss it. I'd call wearing that "Incognito Cool". Nice unobtrusive design.
indeed it does!
Wow, Mark that spot!🤙
indeed!
We scouted Tuesday and had such high hopes. Wednesday was completely different. The weather wasn't so good and the ocean was angry. Visibility was about 1 ft. in shallow areas. Content keys.
Only caught 15
yea I heard alot of people struggled, def wasn't ideal conditions!
I can’t wait to see your catch. Gonna be an awesome lobster video
looking forward to it!
Aloha. Christmas in July? Most of my diving (Lanai) has been at night for lobster. No Spanish, just spiney and slipper. Still don’t understand why Floridians don’t dive at night, though I did watch yesterday’s video. Large moreys always bothered me more than sharks. Unless I was diving nor cal for abalone. Good luck!
always loved diving at night!
It's like you just want to reach in and start grabbing them
haha
The only time I've seen that many bugs was on that coral head flat by Loggerhead Key. And they were huge. Scuba tank size. Anyway looks like you should have a good spiny season. Cool.
I moved from the NC foothills to the VA Beach area and got a kayak. It's like getting my soul back just to be able to go fishin' in the saltwater again. I'm looking for spots now and already caught a flounder, which was exactly what the goal was.
yea they get some giants down that way!
