17:09 I've heard from other youtubers that its better for the stone crab to take both claws, because they will avoid fights and take less risks than if they still had 1 claw. Have you heard this, and do you know how true or not this is?
I hear this a lot and I'm not sure where it started. There are very few studies on declawing stone crab, the few published studies that I have read all say that same thing. The mortality rate is much higher, (almost double) when both claws are removed versus one. The mortality rate is fairly high after removing one claw. The most important part is removing the claw correctly without breaking the joint or socket so to speak. After 15 years of diving stone crabs by hand. Seeing the amount of crab I have, the amount with one claw left and no claws left (alive) I would have to agree. But I could be wrong, just my opinion. I would love to know who is out there watching stone crab "fights" in a natural environment, 15 years diving for them and I have yet to see one lol
@@KeyWestWaterman I like the idea that you only take one claw🎉
@@KeyWestWaterman Thanks for the response, I also was wondering where this information was from and who was out watching stone crabs fight 😂
@@KeyWestWaterman 1. I de-pixelated the screen and now have your exact coordinates. 2. Next episode absolutely must be a No-Claw vs. 1 Claw vs. 2 Claw Stone Crab Cage Match.
@@KeyWestWaterman Arron, one of your Stone Crab catch videos was used and credited on the "Best Ever Food Review Show" YT channel !
It's a MEGA YT player. Millions of subscribers and views. Hoping you get a nice Bump up !!
He also shows the Florida study to not take both claws as it has twice the mortality rate, as you mentioned.
The snapper and grouper hunting never gets old for me. Thanks for taking us along.
love to hear it! because I love it and will never stop lol
@@KeyWestWaterman I agree with Daveincc. I envy your access to fish. I could eat fish/seafood 7 days a week and never get tired of it.
This man appreciates Florida the way we all should. It’s paradise that will provide for and nourish us
I love 🥰Tipsy! What a treat for her. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
she's the best!
I like the overhead drone shot cut to the edge of the weeds, it orients things. The camera on the bottom shooting up at you in sillouette taking a claw was nice.
We do notice.
love to hear that, was feeling creative this day!
I love that shot at 16:12! And it's great to see Tipsy having a romp. Good stuff as always.
glad you enjoyed it!
In anticipation, I always hit 👍🏽 on your videos before watching them and I have never been wrong!
thanks so much!
Aloha, and same.
Snorkeling for snappers, so much fun. Small flying fish 16:09 🐟
I swear, I have no idea how you don’t get bit more when crabbing! Stone shots and Stone Crabs… thanks for such great content!
The way you do your videos Aaron, perfect. The narration and water noises, chill, exploration above and under. The life dude.
so glad you enjoy them!
“Welcome back underwater, everyone.” I could feel my breathing slow and my blood pressure drop, just hearing those words. Thank you for sharing once again.
I luv exploring the Bush.
But prefer exploring just under the landing strip even more.
Nice to see you took Tipsy out for an adventure. I'm sure she enjoyed it.
lol! thanks for tuning in
I know where to come in the future for Adult Entertainment
When Aquaman says he is OUT of Seafood. ❤❤❤ Funny Aaron. 😊 as we sit on couches pretending it's a boat w a beer😂
That drone footage with sound to the under water crab catch and back was really cool. Loved the close quarters spear fishing.
Love when you do these kind of videos man. Your videos gave me the courage to trap them stone crab and I can’t get enough of it now. Thanks for all the awesome content 🤙
Love the mangrove exploration videos!
love to hear it!
Another amazing adventure. I love the top drone shots of just how beautiful that area is and the crystal blue waters.
The termite shot gave me chills on my neck - definitely creeped me out!
haha I struggle with it
thanks for letting me live this threw you. I'll never be able to do this as I have COPD,
Great job. I really enjoy and appreciate the time and effort you put into your filming, particularly the diving videos.
Excellent camera angles on the stone crabs! Silhouetting yourself above while working on the crabs looks very nice! Great job!
The bugs did show up a little. Wow. Way to tolerate. Nice snapper hunt. Never seen anyone spear in the mangroves! Wowsa! Stone crab. Wow! Wish I had that food pantry out my back door. Thanks for the video!
Having a Gheenoe myself I love to see you fish and run that beautiful machine. Also you can’t beat the maneuverability of that thing!
love that thing! its a blast every time
You're the man, living the dream. Boating out here in SoCal, I always marvel how you can navigate those shallow waters. I would need a new prop every weekend. thanks for sharing.
Love it, Tipsy is so sweet, love how you share your loves with us ❤
The drone perspective at 16:45 is so cool boss! Thanks for taking us along for your backyard adventures!
Great video, as usual!! I really love your drone shots, such a great perspective. Mitzi is a big sweetie!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Tipsy!
My first time finding your vids! I love them! You got some world class dinner ingredients there, plus the fun it was harvesting them! Kudos!
Thanks for the video. I requested snapper footage and you provided. I fish from shore for mangroves and seeing your videos make me realize they are there and just not biting. Stone crab footage great also. Goos stuff. Thanks.
fishing for them can be tough, the small ones are so feisty and get to the bait first a lot
Yea those no see ums looked like humming birds. Gives me flashbacks. Love the snappers! Great job man!!! Good to see ya again!
Drone shots were epic. Thanks for taking the time to do them and edit them and sync up the audio with the shot!
Great video Aaron! Love the pets!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Yeah, that shark was even making me nervous with those fish hanging off your side ! Those crab claws were pretty big from what I've seen on other video's !!! I am so glad you are still making video's for us to watch ! Thanks Aaron ! 😁
Awesome day you had! Great video! Inenjoyed a lot! That shark got my heart racing for your safty! See you next week! ❤
I'm a disabled veteran who would move to Key West to veteran your 📷 man . I can't work any more and I love anything out doors .
thank you for your service! 🙏 gotta get down its a beautiful place
Excellent video, always love the Mangrove dives. Thanks, buddy.
Thanks for sharing the adventure.
Really beautiful camera work on the stone crab section. Especially that drone shot!!! Cheers from Tampa my friend!
I get termite swarms down here in the Southern Caribbean, usually they come after the first big rainfall of rainy season and it stresses me out as welll...I understand how you feel.
Same on SC coast! I can't stand them!
The mangroves were amazing, and the crabbing was fabulous. You are the Man!
Those were some nice stone crab claws. Thanks for another adventure.
Glad you enjoyed
I freakin love the crab huntin!
Looked like a fun day diving 🤿 and exploring. Minus the shark 🦈 of course. Dinner looked delicious as always. No wonder how you and Madeleine stay so thin! 😊
it surely was! haha rarely sitting down helps too!
Nice stuff. Appreciate you taking a little extra care like leaving the crabs with a claw.
This is my favorite vid yet! I dive the mangroves around the Sarasota area nice to see someone else doing it.
Always an enjoyable watch. Really appreciate the effort and knowledge you pour out on conservation and regulations.
We have termite swarms as well. They’ve now evolved to burrowing in cement as well🤦♂️😅
Great video as always! Snapper,and stone crab! I just seen a clip of you on Best Food Review. The guy with the headband,holding a stone crab. You were catching them like you do! Keep it up, love the content!
Thank you for a pleasant, educational, easy to watch , and easy to hear and understand video. Those reasons made it so enjoyable for me.
Because of that I have subscribed and look forward to seeing more videos.
Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Rod
Man this is absolutely fantastic. Im in South Louisiana and basically diving or even snorkeling for me is a no go unless offshore blue water. Now Im getting hungry. Yep we eat what we catch 🤙
We enjoy all the videos but we really love the diving ones. Keep up the great work.
Love the new camera work! The drone shots of you diving 👌
When I spear fish, and do not plan on going back to the boat, I always take a bag (lobster bag), and put the fish in there. Hanging them off the spear gun is to much of a cluster (for me). But awesome video !!! Love all the water video you do. Mangroves, reef, deep drop, all of them !!!
yea it gets a little tricky for sure.
I've always wondered what it looks like under mangroves! Beautiful stone crabs with two large claws! Kudos to you for only keeping one!
That was awesome!
That was awesome. One of the best yet
Those No-Seeums can be intense
Those stone crabs looks amazing. What a meal!
Glad you enjoyed it
Great photography underwater and great content
Happy spring!
im 24 and I live on a canal in key largo with my dad and brother. and never realized how lucky i am. about 7 months ago i pulled the trigger on a Hewes flats boat because of your videos and now im out there almost every day. you make the fishing seem really easy though lol. i would love to see some fly fishing one day!
There are great white sharks in SoFlo !!!!
indeed
Camera angles on the stone crab hunt was the best
Though life, but someone has to do it! We did it in the Caribbean running a dive / sail charter business from our sailboat for about 12 yrs. Yeah, someone has to do it, right?!
haha right!
Great video brother! I cant wait to get out to FL and go on a hunt! Sending you good vibes from Okinawa.
Beautiful scenery
I didn't know no-see ums could fly, my only experience with them has been at the water's edge around the ankles, that was enough for me.
may be a super breed we have here
Aloha. There’s a reason they sell tents with no-see um mesh.
Another excellent lesson learned when it becomes "Sharkie". Keep the fish against the structure/mangroves to provide a deterrent. Many thanks!!
Great video, thanks for taking us along.
Micky C
Love the videos man 🤙🏽 always look forward to new videos
When I lived in Homestead some years ago, it was said, that there are two types of houses in Florida......those that had termites and those that were going to get termites.....the ones that did the most damage as I remember, were the Formosa termites...they even ate concrete.......
I’ve lived my entire life in Southern Louisiana. (New Orleans area). We too have massive problems with termites. All we can do is turn every single light off and treat. Aaron- even though there is no wood right there, they reside in colonies underground, at least in LA. Good luck- they terrify me as well.
Nice video. The drone shots are unbelievable.
I seen termites sworm in the sky the size of a bus zigzag back in forth Florida for ya
lol
west tennessee here, thanks for sharing i enjoyed this
Amazing drone footage. Always epic but this one was extra !
Killer drone shots!!
I like your short “eco” education comments. I did not realize the fragility of the under water grass, and how pervasive the termites will swarm at your location so far south. Thanks for always sharing your sensitive and very sportsman-like attitudes about the environment and its wildlife.
That is exactly how we realized Spring had arrived when we lived in New Orleans!
Sheepshead! I love Sheepshead! Totally underrated. Convicts make amazing table-fare!
Nice filming and edit! The overhead drone shot with the audio from your body camera. Then the scene change to match the audio. Nicely done Aaron.
Letsss gooo!!!!! Any tips for growing a channel?
be real, post consistently
Thanks Aaron, much appreciated, God Bless Brother🤙🏼😎🙏🏼
Drone footage is spot on
Those crab shots were so nice! Skills!
Another above and beyond video 📹 Sir. Arron, Cheri and I sous vide lobster 🦞 and put the seasonings in before we vacuum packed it then put in the water. Holly cow 🐄 it was all that and probably will never do that dish any other way. Wound how stone crab claws would do ,Sir 😊. Thanks again for the video, hell yea😊
Man, the overhead drone footage and underwater audio of stoning was epic
NEW VIDEOOO!!!
Haha thanks for watching!
Incredible drone shots at 16:30, Aaron!
That shark was definitely too curious for my liking! Glad you got out of there safely. One of my favorite video styles you do!! Mangrove exploring and cooking delicious food! Awesome video as always! Thanks for bringing us along
Also,
A meal request that my girlfriend wants to see is homemade Fish tacos w/ coconut mango slaw!
Awesome video. I love the shots from the drone. The water there compared to here in S.C. is crazy. Some Awesome clear water in the keys. Loved the video.
This is one RUclips channel I would watch and wouldn't get bored for hours trust me
Try a reflective basin with water and place it under the light, they fly in and drown.
thanks for the tip!
At 16:15 the start of the drone looking down is just amazing
Plug in blue kill light might help rid the termites.
will give it a try
Wonderful afternoon! Dinner looks yummy!
Another awesome video thanks again. BTW whenever we had a swarm of termites in Ft Lauderdale we would turn off all the lights and they would pass by. Seems like they are definitely attracted to light.
all was a good day when you post
thanks for watching!
We love exploring with you!
TY, because you let me enter a new world.
glad you enjoyed it!
You really surprised me. Your video is very interesting. I really like it. Thank you for sharing this video. I wish you good health.
16:11 what a great shot.
that was worth the effort.
A tip for the termite, just put a pocket of water under the light where they're flying around and they'll be gone in less than a minute!
We would get those termites swarming in WA state too. Used to live in the woods and they were huge!!
