A Cold Winter in Key West (How to Lobster & Fillet Triggerfish)

Join me as I dive into the chilly winter waters of Key West for an exciting lobster hunting adventure! While I’m down here for a friend's wedding, I’m making the most of this Key West vacation by exploring the vibrant underwater world and searching for delicious lobsters.
In this video, I’ll share tips on lobster diving, showcase the stunning marine life, and highlight the unique beauty of Key West. It’s the perfect blend of celebration and adventure in one of Florida’s top vacation spots.

Thanks for the love! 🙏🏻 shoulda hid a Kelly Young sticker somewhere! Haha

[@IslandKey]

Lmfao should of next time 😂 Thank you 🙏🏼

[@carolmiland9665]

Kelly good tonsee you and Zac together. Live you two❤. Why when you cut the fish, do you not go behind that fin more towards the mouth like sorta around the cheek meat? I have no clue. I hope both of you and your families have a Wonderful Merry Christmas and the absolute best New Year ❤❤

[@CNubel]

I'm glad to see you're doing well and still making videos. You haven't popped up in my video suggestions in a while. Keep up the great work. I've enjoyed your vids for many years.

[@IslandKey]

Thank you!! KZbin has been acting weird for my channel this past year

[@CNubel]

@@IslandKey I saw your video about that issue after I left this post. I hope that gets fixed soon.

[@jeffreyevens2033]

I have never been lobster fishing. I have constantly caught a target species that were undersized. Still had fun. Thanks for taking me along.

I saw that…you dipped into Zach’s coffee 😂 Takes a lot of patience when you have so many lobsters that are just a bit too small. You and Zach clean fish and lobster REALLY fast! Fun-filled video…thanks for taking me along 🤗

Merry Christmas! Thanks again for sharing, you are so good at being at ease in letting us in to vignettes of what you love in your life, and we enjoy being shown. The couple of times I've visited Key West were so pleasant, with lots of great food and strolling around the sites. God bless you even more in the year ahead.

[@IslandKey]

Merry Christmas! I appreciate you watching.

I'm glad I found your channel again. The videos used to come to me then stopped.

[@winky_cat]

Same here, some reason i cant comment on kellys comment section

[@dongaetano3687]

Hi Kelly - I hate to admit I never noticed the $2 thanks feature. Vecchiaia = old age in Italian. So I tossed in a couple today and hopefully your other subs will do the same with regularity as I will going forward. Especially those like myself who've freeloading. Stay safe and well.

[@rclidinst]

Wow what a young lady, all around out doors lady and a very pretty one too I about fell out of the chair you in the bathing suit. Thanks for sharing , you be safe now !!

[@caseylevy7310]

The clarity of the water reminds me sooooo much of diving on Okinawa and the surrounding islands... absolutely stunning views!!

[@ricksimon277]

I haven't commented in a while but I don't miss an episode. You were one of my reasons for starting a channel as I believe that you help bring attention to the outdoors. Anyways, I was recently in Florida last week filming an episode. I was in the Everglades one day. It was 85 and I was very comfortable and warm. The next day I went to visit my friend Mike in Orlando. He's a subscriber of yours as well. It was in the 50's and I was cold as heck. I live in Massachusetts so I was surprised that I was so uncomfortable. My friends wife explained to me that Florida cold is real. I think 50 in Florida is colder than 30 in Massachusetts. Thank goodness it doesn't get into the 50's that much in Florida.

[@IslandKey]

Thank you this means a lot to me. Yes!!! Florida has high humidity so when the air is cold, it’s a wet cold, which makes it even colder

[@roberthandlon1877]

Great video it’s been to long since I’ve been in the keys, living vicariously. Thanks

[@Corvette_pilot]

I would go with white or light gray kitchen cabinets to lighten it up a bit ! That snapper looks mighty tasty! I just had some blacked snapper yesterday! 😋

[@IslandKey]

Noted, thanks for the input!

Hi Kelly just realized I've haven't liked your first videos I watched so going back rewatching and liking them now 🎉

Hello ❤

[@riverratt8626]

Laughed at dipping the bread in coffee. My grandparents on my dads side immigrated to Canada from Iceland, They would dip there toast and some cookies in there coffee that had a lot of cream and sugar in it. My parents passed this down to us kids, I still today will save my toast for a breakfast desert with peanut butter and grape jelly on it and dip it in my coffee, it is fabulous. Love your video's. Alberta, Canada.

I get a kick out of the sounds of the reefs! All the clicking and squeaking sounds. I watched a clip on Discovery I think it was? The study indicated that a noisy reef is a healthy reef. Very interesting clip. I’ll look it up and send you the link. Incredible footage Kelly! So vivid you can almost feel the chill of the water! And the sunrise shots!! Beautiful!! Thank you for bringing us along Kelly! Love you!

4 months! Only about 4 months and I'll be in Key West for the month of May! I never hit Duval outside of riding my bike down it. I rent an amazing place in the heart of Old Town, ride my bike most mornings and then walk less than a mile down the street to dive with Lost Reef Adventures in the afternoon. I do the same sort of schedule for the month of October. Life is good.

Amazing, one of your videos showing up on my feed.

[@dongaetano3687]

Ok finished this vid on 12/26. Water clarity perfect!! I think 6'deep more appealing to me these days (Veccchiaia! = old age in Italian). but still over my head! Probably said this a lot but looking forward to a wet suit for spring and the longer flippers, new mask and gopro attached, to lengthen my New England Swim season mostly in the clearer cool lakes of MA - NH - and NY, Actually was in Vermont last summer and stayed on a very clear good sized lake there also. Always enjoy the prep and your background music choices are always good. Enjoy the wedding and your friends!! Arivederci!

I already wrote this and dont know where it went. Good to see you and Zac. Great video as always.

[@BigIronTexas]

I have one small suggestion for the key west studio. The tile mosaic counter is epic but it can be tough to set things down on that uneven surface. Pouring a thin layer of self leveling clear epoxy over the entire counter would keep the cool factor but make it more usable! Just a thought.

[@IslandKey]

Noted!

[@Pete_R63]

I have a video of a massive lobster molt we found in Bonaire last month. Our DM said it was probably shed just the night before. If you had a saddle, you could have had a rodeo with this one. It was crazy big!
