I've been watching your channel over the last year. I watch one episode every night before I go to bed. There is something very relaxing about it. Thanks and keep going!

[@michaelrafferty4493]

Started watching your videos about a month ago and worked backwards from last to first. They are all great but I have to say they definitely improved over time. The greatest improvement was when you dropped the music and started doing more narration which is always instructive. I've never been a diver but have been a fisherman for over 60 years. I'm learning just as much about fishing from your underwater videos as from the fishing videos. The catch and cooks are a bonus. Keep it up.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

That’s awesome! And yeah I had someone editing the videos for me at the beginning, when I took over I dropped the music. Everyone seems to like to feel a lot better.

[@Клд_Спиннинг]

@@KeyWestWaterman Yes! Much better without music. In films about fishing, music only interferes, because you want to hear the sounds of nature, the sounds of fishing, and not be like at a disco.

[@gearhed78]

I love the early morning vibe. Fresh start to the day with a cup of coffee. Plus, your launch point from your home is so cool. just living life as it should be lived. Doing it right man.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

every day! minus the coffee lol. really love where we live just trying to enjoy my time here! thanks for watching!

[@NoNORADon911]

I would need a dive bell to only go 20 ft down lol...

[@John_GGG]

I’m more of a sunset with a glass of beer kind of guy. But I love the videos. Fishing is one of the few things that will get me up in the morning.

[@martiner4051]

Here is my comment for the algorithm. Thanks to Mike and Chris for let share the footage. Cheers from Argentina.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

thanks so much! helps a lot!!

[@sumthangelse89]

The fact that he says all the time not to rush the shot, and then shows us the footage of him doing just that, when he clearly could of chose not too include that clip, shows us how honest and humble this man is. I've Never been on a spearfishing charter but if I did, it would be with this captain. #dreamtrip

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha just couldn't help myself! love those porgies! thanks for the kind words and tuning in!

[@williamhughes5197]

It was early morning yesterday I was up before the dawn. And I really have enjoyed my stay but I must be moving on.... First song I heard on the radio while leaving the Key West Garrison Bight marina on Captain John's Greyhound. We set out for the Gulf side and talk about an awesome day!!! Back in 89 the fishing was so good you only needed to get out on the water and throw a bait in. Grits and Grunts became a staple in my life and I still prefer Grunts over the average fish like tilapia and cod. Life changes and the Keys did as well. I'm so glad to see people that are treating the keys in a respectable manner. As a commercial fisherman I have seen some really messed up stuff. Like people pulling our traps and stealing our catch. Blatant sewage dumping in the water from vessels. You guys give me hope for the next generation to be able to enjoy and sustain the keys. I respect you for what you do and the way you are doing it. People often said that commercial fisherman were the ones ruining the keys. I always said No! People who have no respect for the keys are the ones responsible! We're conservationist that would work hard to keep the keys as pristine as possible. They stopped fishing traps in order to stop killing fish species and make sure they don't become extinct from over fishing. People who don't know what it takes to support themselves by working on the water may never understand what it means. I on the other hand will never forget. Sometimes it might mean going without a few things for the month. Other times it's a motherload and a nice pay day. For me it was always a grateful day to be on the water and receiving its bounty. Weather from beauty or the catch it's always an amazing day to be on the water in the Keys. Thanks again for all of your hard work and the content you bring

[@KeyWestWaterman]

it really is a bummer, wish everyone could just be a decent person and respect what we have! thanks so much for tuning in, glad you enjoy the content!

[@TheGreenSeaHooligan]

You are the Bob Ross of spearfishing videos and I say that in the best way possible. Love your videos man. Keep up the good work. 🔱

[@slipperybeastaviationfishingsh]

A day in your life Aaron is a great day. I know it's easier said than done. With weather, gas, getting on the fish, service, maintenace costs and docking fees. Still you beat the system, you are doing what you love and that's one reason I watch your videos . CONGRATS, great video and thanks again for sharing. See you next Monday hopefully sooner 🤜🤛👌💯

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I’m giving it hell! I really do appreciate it! Been a wild ride thus far!

[@clydehopper2491]

I went to PCB Easter weekend (Friday night through Monday morning) fishing , diving,beaching . was talking anyone who would listen. I’m old, I talk , a lot , about everything under the sun.

Forgot to mention to you, if my grammar is horrible my 1st language is not English and im not above 18+ yet but since i love spearfishing, the ocean and watching others to learn and to pass time well. I always watch most of your videos since they're descriptive and quite enjoyable to watch.

You can not imagine what your videos do for me. I get to relive some of the best days of my life by riding along with you. Not many folks can do what you do on the water to start with but then God has blessed you with the videography skills and the it factor for television. I hope can get by there soon and make a couple days fishing. Pensacola says thanks

I really respect how you approach the sport and teach clients. Also the self control and ability not to shoot hogfish is rare, and I appreciate it. Especially when it is an easy target for clients and makes you less worried about putting fish in the boat, a good mindset because of their struggling pops. Great video as usual.

It'd be nice if you'd educate us on fish Identification when you pull it up to your body or on the boat, and when you do it describe the meat of the fish. I don't know about others but I'd greatly appreciate that. You could even make a pictorial color chart with the legal sizes to spear / catch, what kind of environments and depths the fish are found, how to chum or approach them along with any other relevant data that would be helpful. Heck, you could write a book with the depth of your knowledge.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

ive been working on a fish ID Video, just saving up all the footage!

[@iamremy-kl3xm]

Great video waterman!!!!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Thank you!

[@SpacePoohBear]

Food for thought when editing. If you record all, or almost all of your dives, you could add a "dive counter" per spot and maybe an all day count. You could put it somewhere on the screen to help people understand/realize you aren't dropping and shooting a fish every time. Gives people a visual of what dive you're on for a spot and how many trips down you've actually taken before shooting something!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Not a bad idea! Just a little more work! Do appreciate the feedback. I always try to make it clear it’s not every dive!

[@SpacePoohBear]

@@KeyWestWaterman I completely understand on the more work on your end. Which does suck, but food for thought! I know GoPro's can be a pain sometimes or I'd suggest a stop start after every dive so when editing, you see the breaks in records, but I know that's not possible because it might not turn back on for awhile lol you do a great job emphasizing it's not every drop!
