Critiquing My Clients - 3rd Person Spearfishing

[@fastwrench7686]

Aaron, I think those were Sennets-in the barracuda family. I see them from time to time here in SE Fl in 30-75'. Keep doing what you're doing. Your demeanor and stewardship are second to none. Thank you for doing it right.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

That’s what I’ve been hearing! Thanks for the info, and really do appreciate the kind words 🙏🏻

[@erikwantuck2831]

You broke 100k subscribers!!! I remember when had less then 10k. That wasn't very long ago. Congratulations Aaron and Madeline. A true example of the rewards hard work brings...

[@KeyWestWaterman]

thanks so much!

[@matthewbrundage2582]

Those little barracudas are the southern sennet,From what I read they’re usually a little further south but sometimes show up in our waters

[@KeyWestWaterman]

thats what I'm hearing! learn something new everyday!

[@wickedmikes5281]

I’m going to watch the rest of it, like I always do, but I had to pause it right out of the gate to post a comment. You said: “I like learning things, and I like sharing what I’ve learned.” The best students make the best teachers. Great teachers never stop being students. Never lose that humility, Aaron. It’s a big part of what makes your channel what it is.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

never thought of it that way, thank you!

[@perc3136]

You care so much and are clearly so thankful for everyone that tunes in to your videos! Great dude and love the vidzz

I’ve been making KZbin videos that definitely follow your line on “KZbin is show reel” . After watching your channel for the last 3 weeks I’ve decided to do a video that is more like your style. Commentary explaining what’s going on and not over hyping it.

I was getting beat up with your videos on my opening page, so I finally checked you out a couple of weeks ago. I'm now probably 15 or 20 videos into your channel and I'm loving it. I might not ever get to Key West and I'm pretty sure I'll never free dive, but I'm loving what you're sharing. Your laid back demeanor pretty much mirrors how I like to live. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing what you do.

Was watching blue Gabe and bro it’s so nice to see his son Jake doing the things you do while spear fishing. He’s leaving the gun floating or the string separated and he’s going right for the fish as soon as he’s shoots it that’s very cool. I see a lot in both of them like your doing things. That’s got to be pretty cool to see them doing things the way you do them. Just didn’t know if you had noticed that yet or not.

[@williamhughes5197]

I always enjoy the content of fishing/diving and spearfishing. You definitely have taught me that if you take your time and control the fish asap, you can avoid getting wrapped up in the line and gun. I've seen people use the Hawaiian sling and it seems pretty easy. Not sure if I would be better with the gun or the sling. Takes practice to do what you do with proficiency. I commend you and your teaching. I'm impressed with how many fish that were shot this episode. Thanks again for another great video.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

love to hear it, and a sling is a little difficult in my opinion. but a good way to start, if you master it a gun is a cake walk.

[@bucketmouthadventures4554]

Not sure if you do anything like this or not, just an idea to consider. You could always bring your camera and offer for an extra fee to turn over the video to the clients. I am sure many would love to have third person footage of their dives. SD cards are so cheap now that you could buy a few and ask before the dive if they would like to purchase the videos. If they want to you just charge the fee and hand over the card unedited. That way if they are not interested you dont have to wear the camera. Purchase smaller size cards as you dont need large ones for single day trips and add the cost of the cards into the fee. Profit and let someones possibly magic moments live on for the friends and family to experience.
