Almost feels like I was there!

[@sammcvea1069]

I was on imagination Island and I was really really there, 😆

[@KeyWestWaterman]

that's how good I am at editing.

[@sammcvea1069]

National Geographics might be in your calling, with a spin on fishing

[@John_GGG]

Feels like I wish I was there!

[@LaEscuelaDelEncanto]

I agree. I believed I was there with you.

[@dawsonabramovitz6527]

Man I found your channel about a week ago and it’s safe to say I’m addicted, already watched most of, if not all of your videos. The professionalism and respect you have for the environment is great to see. PLEASE keep the catch and cooks coming! Love the channel man, god bless.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

can't thank you enough for the kind words! really keeps me going when I wanna sit down 😂. more on the way! thanks so much!

[@quickblapps]

Same boat here, it's been 2 weeks for me and I think I've watched all but a handful. Great content, awesome style and so informative. Keep it up man, great work and I look forward to many more videos!

[@slipperybeastaviationfishingsh]

I agree 🤜🤛

[@slavee0965]

I from Croatia(you need to google it:), there is not any connection with type of fish and fishing with key west. But I watch yours videos becouse i like spearfishing and you have kid a gift. And i like your intro :) Have a good one:)

[@richardbidinger2577]

Same here👍

[@jake9705]

* Watches several of his hook-and-line catches get eaten by sharks. * Jumps in water with spear gun, immediately sees huge bull shark. * Immediately after that, sees a huge hammer head. * Continues fishing and even bleeds his catch in the water with him. MANIAC! I love it 🤯🤯🤯

Kick ass thumbnail. That's one thing I really have to work on, I just go with the ones KZbin picks for me. Loved the episode, great to see your channel grow fast because it's well deserved.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

your thumbnail is everything. put alot of time into getting the right one while you are shooting.

It's amazing how easy you make shooting them look. Head shots and such. I was watching another show and they were doing body shots and body shots. Great Skills!

love to hear that but I film it alot of different stuff! we do a quite a variety down here. always appreciate feedback!

[@Beerbatter1962]

Awesome stuff man. So fun to watch. I'm no expert, but I did grow up fishing Florida, and I was taught that Wahoo like a deep, very fast trolled bait. They are an extremely fast fish. On a diving planer (old school) or a down rigger. Anyway, maybe worth a try. Thanks for the awesome content.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Yup grew up catching them as well. But they swim around just like everything else!

Love the videos. I have fished my entire life in Southern Louisiana and have plans to move to WBP next year. I'm wanting to get into Charter/Commercial. Never really had much exposure to spearfishing until now. Water is way too murky here for it. Might be something I look to learn once making the move.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

happy to hear it! and I will say its difficult to get into if you are starting from scratch in an area. I spent about 3-4 learning key west before running trips but definitely is doable!

[@joefanguy5100]

@@KeyWestWaterman Oh I fully expect it to be awhile before running trips. The first few years will be spent just learning the waters. I've got a lot of the skills, just need to learn the numbers.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

[@achernarpolis8842]

Random thoughts…take or leave so don’t feel like you need to answer here but things I think ppl might like to know in future vids: 1) Have you done a video focused on safety? Like think about hiking, most ppl know you are supposed to tell a friend where you are going and your plans…do you do this for every fishing trip out? Other safety considerations etc 2) Have you or will you travel to other places to do fishing and film it, like the Caribbean or Australia? 3) The fishing looks like enough to learn but how about the swimming side of things, diving to 90 feet sounds hard in itself (and that’s one way) how did you build up to that? Have you ever had an incident where you almost ran out of air, especially after a long all day dive? 4) speaking of air, is it possible to spearfish while scuba diving? Maybe that’s too complicated but would allow you to go deeper or stay down longer. 5) when it gets dark do you get more concerned about getting in the water given increased risk of a predator mistaking you for food? 6) do you ever see great whites or are makos the biggest you have seen in your area? Again great work, it shows.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I always give someone I know my "float plan" when heading out for extended periods. and no yet but would love to travel one day with the KZbin if it gets big enough to pay for expenses. year and years in the water to dive that deep. some people pick it up naturally but regardless takes alot of practice. yes you can spearfish on scuba im just not a fan of it. dont get concerned with the dark no and I've only seen one great white very briefly, and actually only one mako also.

[@jenkins80526]

Very cool. We don’t really have clear enough water on Texas coast for spear gunnin’ but i think I’d like it best of all the ways to fish. I’m 180 miles inland but I frequent the gulf quite a bit, maybe along the blue/green water line would be good but inshore stuff would be impossible, just too murky.
