I was straining my neck trying to look under that rock ledge with ya from the iPad 😉 really enjoyed the change from the “normal”catch clean cook. Keep mixing it up doing whatever you want, 145k plus subscribers agree, been with ya since the low 20k!

[@DravianGrey]

Wow, that was just amazing. That second spot you did, or maybe third spot, all the life around that area was awesome, especially the little jellyfish you kept swimming past. So envious of having that kind of life, to be able to go out and get your own food, I hope the blessings never stop for you, the family, and friends. Thanks for the video.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

was such a beautiful day! doesn't get much better.

[@aloeisthestuff9622]

Yeah that snapper worked out to $47.00 bucks a pound time all the overhead was added up.

This video is a meditation on fishing/underwater hunting in the Keys. Nobody does this sort of thing better than you, Aaron. Seriously. Just outstanding. Thank you so much for sharing this experience.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

really appreciate the positive feedback!

[@pamtnman1515]

In the early 1990s I took my wife to Key West. I had spent a lot of time fishing, conching, and spear fishing there and up and down the Keys back in the 1980s. I had trouble finding a dive boat that would accommodate a spear fishermen, but one shop had some old Hawaian slings, and I grabbed one and went out with a bunch of scuba divers and snorkelers. I ended up spearing an enormous grouper and boating it. Most of the other divers were unkind about it. The one guy who was supportive went home with enough grouper filet for his wife and him for two days. It’s nice to see Key West again has a spearfishing tradition.

[@hughtravels929]

I've been watching you for about 2 years now and just started free diving and spearfishing last month with a buddy around Tampa Bay. This has to be one of the most fun ways to catch a fish. Thanks for the inspiration, love the raw footage with simple narration. Keep it up and stay SAFE!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

love to hear it! stay safe out there 🙏

[@jeffmullins1475]

Where are you dropping in TB? The lack of visibility has always made me chicken.

[@shady9891]

Even though I'm in the gulf, it's just too cold for me to get in the water. Living so close to the beach it's hard to ignore the desire to be in it, above or below things just feel right in the water. Thanks for continuing to upload.

[@paulherman9599]

[@jamescartwright9103]

Respect Peche! Yeah…Im that guy lol. Born and raised in K W, and grew up hunting those waters since i was old enough to swim. And I tell everyone, “The day I was born, my father threw me overboard and said if he swims, we’ll keep him”. Love your content, and keep those K shots coming.

Been there with a 28lbs red snapper in a reck at 90’… If I didn’t have scuba I would’ve never recovered the fish!!! My hats off to you and your videos brother! I’m now 60 years old and could never “Free Dive” at depths like you do bro! You had me sitting on da edge of my porch swing watching this!!! Lol 😆 Keep doing what you do brother! Very entertaining Farso!!! Ha Ted 🕷️

[@KeyWestWaterman]

hell of a fish! haha so glad you enjoy them

[@gbenchalice]

Up there with you sir🎅 I've found if I strap enough weight on I can still dive 40...but the belly and the COPD make shallow reefs a lot easier...its as much fun for me glomming on little critters in holes as hunting big pelagics

[@thetruth4477]

Great news Aaron!!! I made it to depth with you but then died. Lol. Holding my breath has never been my strongest skill. Great video.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

[@raysmith8412]

Narrated or not, you have the best underwater videos on KZbin, hands down. I like hearing your perspective, as someone with very limited dive experience, it's like having your own personal guide to point out things I didn't notice or have knowledge of. 2 thumbs up!

lol I didn't think it was lined up with that, if you skip around at all it relocates them sometimes.

[@jlo2017]

You just mentioned about a timer in the video and all I could think of at the start of the video was you diving 60 to 70 ft. On your first dive returning to the surface you looked up and it had to be 30+ feet left to the surface and I was scared sh*tless. I've liked every video you have done since following you, but this one was so impressive showcasing your skill!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Besides being mellow, you can also over oxygenate your blood by taking 15 or 20 big, deep breaths, and through your nose and out of your mouth… I found it that helps me hold my breath a lot longer. No science degree, I just love the water. Awesome video!

Some nice dives there bro 👌im sure there are a bunch of folks holding breaths with you...just like I'm sure a bunch of folks breath hold for a min and a half sitting down and won't realise how much difference activity makes. One of the best modern tools for training is those finger clamp oximeters...you can monitor your heart rate and BOC real time , see how effective your calming\heartrate meditation is...helps youngsters learn that its CO2 buildup , not low oxygen that is one of the first limits that you hit diving
