Just got back from Crystal River and stopped at the marina to look at Gheenoe's. Told the sales person I was interested in them from a guy I watch on KZbin...She says "Oh the guy in Key West, Key West Waterman" = Yup. Hey Gheenoe, time to sponsor up!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha too funny! I've had a long relationship with Gheenoe that I haven't talked much about. I mention it in the boat build video with should be out in the next few weeks!

[@kingstewie6789]

The only video I watch where I give a thumbs up before I even watch. 5 stars every time.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha really appreciate that!

[@mrwseahunter1258]

I know this is almost a year old, but my German Mom would take the left over rice and make it like Madeleine says for us to have as breakfast the next day, I make it for my girls now, it is awesome! And great take on Poke bowls, you constantly give me new ideas for the fish we get - thanks Aaron!

[@Kinleith621]

Thanks again Aaron, great to watch. I am 70 years old and a day pottering about like that is about my speed nowadays. Love it.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

thanks for tuning in!

[@kevin8122006]

Definitely a southern thing on the rice! I often have a bowl of rice with a little milk, honey and a banana cut up in it for breakfast.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha sounds like it!

[@robertkreiling1746]

Thanks for keeping it real and with no stupid music

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Haha 🙏🏻

[@andrewcooke4496]

What Madeline’s mother used to make is what I would call here in the UK is Rice Pudding. I used to love the stuff as a child but not had any for a few years now. However it can be be bought in cans from the supermarkets.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

good to know! thank you!

[@jasonnorton9604]

Lots of fun in the mangoves! We never had rice for desert, but for breakfast we would have left over rice with a couple eggs from the coup, cooked over easy, and put on top with salt and pepper. Generational recipe originated to stretch meals.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I like the sound of that!

[@jmcimba]

Nice camera placement in the Mangroves, that was a cool angle to view you guys fishing.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha glad you enjoyed it!

[@GeorgeHurchalla]

Rice pudding/arroz con leche - my daughter loves making it. Not a poor person's dessert necessarily, just an old standard. I'm from Florida with long family history in Miami and the Keys, live in Texas now, and lived and fished in Oaxaca for a decade, so used to every type of dessert. Grew up making key lime pies from a tree on an old Indian midden in our backyard.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Super cool! Thanks for sharing and tuning in!

[@ThaiNguyen-wg3uy]

Am in a dark place right now, and your vid notifications popped up. Thank you for taking me to a beautiful place again. Please keep up the great work, and thank you again.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Sorry to hear that but love to hear the vids help 🙏🏻

[@paulm749]

Hang in there, friend. Prayers incoming.

[@jimrowland6089]

My wife grew up in Phoenix AZ. Her favorite thing is the rice, sugar, and butter desert or snack. I like mine without the sugar or the milk and fried in a pan.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha me too!

I’m from Jamaica and sometimes while cooking dinner we cook dumpling and while the meat is cooking we would take a spoon of butter and a hot dumpling and eat together it’s really good and it’s similar to the rice that ur mom use to make but tbh it’s just old fashion it’s what u enjoy while you’re young so u will still love it untill this day so it’s not really a poor people food it’s what u love

[@KeyWestWaterman]

[@wildinafrica]

[@KeyWestWaterman]

thats awesome! thanks for tuning in!

[@urbancornbread5500]

[@KeyWestWaterman]

agreed! thanks so much love to hear it

[@PSSKDerby]

Great video Aaron! Some good catching for a friend. You’re a nice guy to do that. Madeleine, if you add raisins, nutmeg & cinnamon, it’s the rice pudding of my youth. Love the poke. Thanks for sharing!

[@caroll6379]

[@colemant6845]

Me too... Relaxing me watching you Fish...

[@Tidehunterfishing]

I ate the rice with brown sugar milk and butter as a kid too. Dutch heritage growing up in Australia! A trick with those soy sauce bottles to control the flow, put a finger on the other hole and it turns it off and on.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

thats awesome, and yea its a neat little trick

[@chriscurwood3208]

If you haven't purchased any merch yet hurry up. It sells super fast. The sun shirts with the hood are my favorite. Really good quality and super fast shipping. We got two for my wife and I so we would have a back up.. Great for when out on the boat. We are in Tarpon Springs. Say hi if you see us out and about! 😃🎣🐟🐠

Yes Madalyn. Rice with sugar and milk and butter is delicious. A touch of vanilla is nice too. Maybe easy rice pudding.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

She loves it!

[@prestonfunkhouser1301]

When I was a kid, we used leftover rice from dinner for breakfast. rice, milk, butter, and brown sugar.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

seems pretty popular!

[@WilliamSmith-kj5tk]

Madeline. As a kid way back in the late 60s that's how I ate my rice. Glad to know I'm not the only one. Lol

[@WilliamSmith-kj5tk]

Oh I'm from Kentucky

[@AlexGarcia-ew2fv]

[@KeyWestWaterman]

sounds like a good way to grow up! love it

[@jw-adventure6002]

Breakfast rice, growing up my grandpa and father, both would make rice and add milk, sugar and cinnamon, we would have it as a quick warm breakfast.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

seems like it was pretty popular!

[@curtischambers5652]

Rice, milk, and sugar love it. I got it as a kid in Michigan too.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha seems like it was a thing!

@Key West Waterman I used to be a chef/owner of three successful restaurants including "islands fish grill", Indialantic, "The Pompano Grill" Satellite Beach and the "Seafood Galley" in the Villages. Bait fishing is much less stressfull...and I don't need the $$$ any how. Thank you for your time and effort my friend... life is good!

[@patstrecker6286]

We used to eat the rice with milk and cinnamon sugar !! Yummy from Nebraska

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Aaron my brother from another mother, The Lovely Madeleine and Clams Master Will Hi 😊😎👋🙌🍺🍺🍺, Fur Babies where are you Tunedogg???, and Madeleine my Indian grandfather used to do a slightly different way with the rice, where he just as the rice was almost done cooking he mixed the rice with some of the rice water, added condensed milk and we had that growing up, think he called it "Mar or Marr", my Chinese side of the family didn't make a variant of the Indian side of my family that I know of, lots of love and best wishes to you all, and until next time stay safe, stay awesome out there everyone 😊👋🙌 🍺🍺🍺

[@mattmedina1639]

@@KeyWestWaterman what model is your gheenoe ?

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Cast nets are easy if they're not too big. All it takes is a working technique and practice. I throw 6' nets easy enough but bigger than that they're harder. Start with a 4' net. 3 is too small and 5 is hard for beginners.

[@Lownslow84]

@@mattmedina1639 it’s a gheenoe super 16 . He’s currently having another one made in his hometown of Titusville FL. This model has the joystick controls. He did a vid on it late last year or so.

love your little boat videos. when I was younger we used to play 10/20 in the mangroves. a 10 ft aluminum johnboat with the 10hp and a 13 ft fiberglass with the 20hp. hide and seek. found some great places that way😁

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha maybe!

[@williamhughes5197]

Hey, great video on catching snapper and then cooking dinner with Madeline. I've heard of the dessert she eats. It's been a long time since I had heard anyone else putting milk in leftover rice. My mother made Rice pudding with raisins in it and she also made rice cakes with caramel. She boiled a can of sweetened condensed milk for about an hour and a half to Two hours and then left it overnight. If you try it don't open it until it's cooled All the way. Now I'm wanting to know if you have ever caught any snapper using a lure. Always great to see you guys and I look forward to seeing you guys soon.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha seems to be a pretty popular thing! and I rarely catch them on lures, we normally always live bait for them.

[@williamhughes5197]

@@KeyWestWaterman I've been seeing mirror lures that are clear resin and I wonder if they are one of the types used. Voodoo shrimp is a good one for snapper. I'm a fan of a fresh live shrimp with a little section of the tail peeled off. It's been so effective for the mangrove snapper here in Daytona Beach Florida New Smyrna beach. Thanks for the feedback. I thought you might have missed the question so I asked about it again in the comments. I'm sure you get a lot of replies in the comments. I just want to say thanks again 👍👍😎
