Thanks so much for watching! As always if you have a question feel free to leave it in the comment section! Also here is the link to Zacks website if you are interested in getting out with him! www.fishreelfresh.com

[@tedbrown2583]

Holy crap dude man!!! Did I see a shark coming at you when you cut the video??? … lol That was awesome and wut you cut for??? Can’t wait to see your next video!!! Ted 😂👍

[@danetillman4528]

Is there a risk of heavy metals like mercury from eating all of that fish? You all seem super healthy. Will definitely get in touch with Zacks website..

[@pirateturns360]

Not a question, just wanted to pass on some information. Often you talk about the fish suffering. I work across the state of Florida working with pain doctors and neurosurgeons. The facts about fish are they lack 2 biological components that makes pain nonexistent for fish. Psychologists (behavioral scientists) have attempted to debunk this claiming fish have other ways to feel pain, however as I've had it explained to me by doctors who specialize in pain and the nervous system, psychologists need to stay in their lane. LOL. They make the false assumption fish experience the world the way a human foes and that is bad science. Anyway, the pain response is transmitted through a specific type of nerve called c-fibers. This specific type of nerve is nonexistent in fish. In addition to that, the section of the brain pain is processed is also absent in fish. Aquatic mamals and other creatures like say an octopus do have the biologic anatomy required to sense pain. Fish do have a sense of feel, but if you straighten your arm and lock out your elbow, and grab that super wrinkly piece of skin on the tip of your elbow and pinch it between your index finger and thumb, that part has few c-fibers. It is possible to find a section of skin that you can pinch hard with no pain. That is a fishes entire body.

[@danielsondavidf]

Zack has certainly shown his talent in this episode! I suspect his business will improve dramatically after this KZbin release.

[@evettemercado1916]

Love all ur vids keep up the great work I love seeing how u catch fish besafe always with ur friends nd paddling madeline

[@marcuslarwa9098]

I don’t think anyone would mind a longer video. He’ll I think most people would prefer it. I wouldn’t worry about making videos over 30m I watch your long videos all the time.

[@Christian_Tango_Christ]

I would love long form episodes that run for a couple of hours to just chill, listen to in the background and play while falling asleep.

[@marcuslarwa9098]

@@Christian_Tango_Christ yea I have to sleep With the tv on because I have permanent ringing in my ears from years of working on construction sites so I wouldn’t mind longer episodes either. I watch the wooded beardsmen channel and he has some 5-6 hour videos that I put on right before bed.

[@huntfisheat73]

Yeah pretty much KZbin is my TV I don't watch regular TV I'd rather go through KZbin and watch the videos I want to see so the longer the better for sure I agree with you

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I try to keep them at a happy medium. alot of times the longer ones don't perform as well. but love to hear it!

[@TylerGirard]

Regardless this is reality TV at its best. Can't wait to go back to Key West for a strictly fishing trip

[@dondasher58]

100% surprised me seeing that shark come up like that. I’m looking forward to Part 2!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

lol you're telling me!

[@WoodenBoatGuy]

One of the reasons I prefer fishing from my kayaks and my canoe is that I enjoy the "journey" as much as the actual fishing. Until I found your channel I honestly never felt like I'd seen a "boat" fisherman (or spear fisherman) that really genuinely enjoyed the journey. Thanks for what you do, LOVING the videos.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

it's what it's all about. its gotten more relevant the older I get I will say.

[@dejuices]

Can’t “journey” 20 miles offshore in a kayak

[@slipperybeastaviationfishingsh]

Great video Aaron. Amazing yellowtail and mangroves fishing. I enjoyed this video fully. See you for the Diving video. Thanks for sharing. Have a great Day. 🐟🚤🌊

[@KeyWestWaterman]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@gmac619]

The ending was crazy can’t wait to part 2 lol

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha see you thursday!

[@jamiephillips887]

This is a good financial move for you Aaron, unfortunately since I discovered you a couple of years ago I have been planning a trip with you. Great choice and I love your diving videos but your natural ability to fish is what is intriguing. Congratulations!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

was a tough decision but will be for the best, thanks so much

[@ryanmills5613]

OMG I can't believe you left us hanging with a bull shark rushing you like that! haha - thanks for at least cutting to you alive and un-harmed at the house while explaining. Another great video can't wait for Thursday now though amazing teaser man, you rock keep it up brother!

Woah cliffhanger, shark coming towards you. Great vid as usual. Would love longer vids. Keep em coming! 😁

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha thanks for tuning in!

[@christophermitchell6092]

Been watching for your vids for a while. Spear fishing looks fun. I've seen sharks in your other vids too. What's your biggest fear in the water if not Sharks? As someone who is not in the water I feel like before I started watching your channel my biggest fear would have been sharks and maybe Jelly Fish stings, but you seem pretty calm around them from what I've seen.

[@TheEdub.]

Are you supposed to give up your phone before you go? Just wondering.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I'm not exactly sure what you mean

[@abikerinpa]

P.s. you are not related to Kelly Young are you ? ❤️

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I am not

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha

[@macholliday2996]

ok...this is Not intended as a 0- comment...but I remember going salt water fishing, when it was a little choppy i would lean against the gunnell and take the weight of the rolls on my back....that was ok for a while but I eventually grew tired of it.....but,,,watching you handle the rolls.....hahahaha...it shows you taking the rolls totally on your feet......you aren't leaning against the gunnells but I am watching your number 16's or 17's take the swells ...back and forth, back and forth, like dancing in the 60's........FUNNIE.................but you are a Master Fisherman and i DO enjoy your videos,,,,

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Haha lots of time on the water got my sea legs!

[@flysubcompact]

Aaron, just noticed you broke 100k subs. Congrats. I have a feeling it will be much higher.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

thanks so much!

[@oneshotme]

Fished like that when I was younger in the Gulf but with small grunts and had a blast. But nit able to now I live in Jacksonville with no boat and a bad back. Great haul you was able to catch!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@KeyWestWaterman]

the good ol' days! thanks so much for tuning in

[@juliafiore120]

Aaron!!!! You cut out right as that shark 🦈 was charging you! I jumped a mile! That was terrifying… from my couch! I can’t wait to see the follow up video 😳 Have you heard of/seen Th GoFish Cam? I know you’re not doing fishing charters but that thing is cool for when you’re in the mangroves.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha, gets the blood pumping! and I haven't I will have to check it out!

[@jarrodp3245]

So I'm not CHEATING on KWWM if I go fish with Zach? Does this mean I'm in a open rod n reel fishing relationship now? Ok fine but just know I'm saving my spearginity for you!!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

it was a tough decision I won't lie. but alot of factors brought me to this decision and it's what's best. thanks so much for tuning in and thanks for the support 🙏

[@Axiom_Link]

I never liked fishing or outdoors stuff much when I was younger. But the older I get the more I completely understand the appeal. So much that I’m enjoying even watching you guys while I work. What a wonderful life, living the dream and enjoying the world to the fullest. Good for you guys!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

its sparks the primitive instincts for me! glad you enjoy it

[@charlesbraun8867]

Bummer brother just found you. I was down in Feb, sometimes timing is every thing. Wish you nothing but good luck. To old and to out of shape for free diving . I will look up your buddy Zach next time I'm down.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

better late than never! thanks for tuning in and you wont be disappointed!

[@jamesthompson8133]

It’s hard to find friends like Zack, cool man! Keep fishing!!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Amen!

[@matto_fishing]

Just thought you'd get a kick out of this, I live in Atlanta and do tournament bass fishing. Found your page several months ago and have really enjoyed your way of exposing folks to a life they don't get to see. Plus I love the fishing. Stayed with a buddy in the Lake Lanier area and he starts playing a youtube video of a guy fighting a swordfish for us to just watch while we killed time the night after fishing..... it was your channel and he's been a subscriber as well for a while. Pretty crazy dude, you're killing it.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha thats too funny love to hear it!

[@jonathanmcguire8192]

ahhh rewound that multiple times before I realized you cut it short!!! Can't wait to see Thursday's follow-up.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

[@kmdonna]

Kia ora from NZ. Can I ask where you get your awesome hooded tops from? My husband needs to be super careful in the sun but loves water sports and these tops look epic.TIA

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I have them on my website www.dibsonbottom.com but I’m sold out of a lot of sizes right now. Next batch has been ordered a couple weeks ago just waiting on them!

[@jaxonbill2701]

I would have like to know the approximate depth and bottom type. no numbers, but it looked deep by the water, but you said mid 30's later. I'm assuming a ledge/ hard bottom. but those were some Fat Mangos. did taxman get more you didn't show?

[@KeyWestWaterman]

out of respect for Zack I didnt wanna show too much of his spot. and nope we only lost one fish to the sharks

[@wulfish1]

Nice Grovers! So how do you dispatch them before they go in the cooler? Looks like you stab them in the brain maybe?

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Yup, just a knife to the brain.

[@kellogscoleman7076]

That awesome time you catch a big black snapper (mangrove snapper) is priceless 💯

[@KeyWestWaterman]

love em!

[@donttalktome74]

Is there a thing as being too humble? Or does it become shyness at a certain point? Nothing wrong with what you are doing my man. Love your best life. I live mine through you lol. Keep em coming, no matter how long they are! Loving what you are doing bruh✌🏿

Man what a sweet spot! Nice Flags and grown Grovers! Dude I would've shit all over that poor shark.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha def was a nice spot!

[@JJ-gd7gf]

Question. Would it be better to fish your live pinfish before you chum so you don't have as many predator fish until you have to chum the yellowtails?

[@KeyWestWaterman]

in some circumstances yes, there were sharks and barracudas when we pulled up

[@donaldhodge1700]

Dude what happened with that shark rushing towards you??? Why you stop it!!! Dang this episode was so exciting

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha dont worry you'll get the full affect on Thursday!

[@larg2153]

In your next video can you maybe explain how not to get sea sick I know some people are less likely to become sick but I love fishing the bay and inlet but 10 minutes into the sea stoped I get sick.? Any info would love it

[@KeyWestWaterman]

if I had the answer to that question I'd be a rich man. I've never been seasick in my entire life so idk how to fix it unfortunately. question for the ages.

[@codyforbes7670]

Nice. Big mangrove fire me up. Notice yall talking about the big mang baby bite....isn't it funny how a six inch mang hits a bait like a freight train and the big ones give u that baby tap?

[@KeyWestWaterman]

It really is funny

[@ma93293833]

LIke to watch many of your spear fishing, why don't wear the shark shield just in case?

[@KeyWestWaterman]

love to hear it, and honestly idk I've heard mixed reviews about them.

[@SaltyWrench]

Monster mangos and a hungry bull! What are your thoughts on those shark deterrent devices? I’ve seen footage that shows they work. Worth it?

[@KeyWestWaterman]

ill be honest I've never used one so I can't comment.
