Shark Attack Survivor Interview + Fishing Reports - Dock Talk Ep. 4

[@livkinry]

I love all your videos, but the shark attack portion and how he told it is award worthy. I think he felt comfortable enough with you that his storyteller side came out full blast. One of your best, Aaron. Congrats.

[@connercoy2599]

Probably my favorite “Docks” episode yet! Thank you Aaron and all the other captains that shared information.

[@lewislambert2141]

Woohoo, another dock talk. Love listening to fishing stories. As divers, we all have our shark encounter stories, your buddy there beats all the stories I've heard. My favorite dock talk video yet!!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

love to hear it! thanks so much!

[@Julianne955]

I do enjoy listening to the Captains talk, keeping it real on YT, I don't understand much, but their passion about their livelihood keeps me enthralled. Absolute massive kudos to Capt. Kaynan, took extreme guts to get back in the water. Another great Dock Talk! Thank you Aaron!

[@TrentTarver]

I absolutely love these dock talk videos. We visit Big Pine for two weeks after Christmas each year. I look forward to my trip all year long. These videos make me feel like and insider. Thanks a lot!

[@strayedcat1966]

Best dock talks yet, enjoyed it. Lucky man to finally get to Key West and not bleed out. Looks to be healing quite well. What a trooper!

[@alexseiler7788]

Aaron, thanks for a terrific dock talk and the visits with the guys!

[@AlanL007]

Great show, glad Kaynan is healing. He was the best of an amazing group of captains on your show. He is a great story teller, hope you have him on again.

[@samb5.5]

One of my favorite video series going right now

[@sommersw]

Love the dock talks!! Suggestion; talk about what’s coming up next like spawns or whatever. Guys that are learning really appreciate that information without sharing specific locations. We all like to hunt but it’s helpful to know what to look for.

[@aitutaki50]

That is one tough SOB right there--dude gets bit by a 7 foot lemon, & doesn't get treatment until about 6 hours later...heals up & roughly 8 weeks later he's back out there fighting with bulls to keep his catch...this guy has big cojones, that's for sure!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha he's a wild man thats for sure!

[@Mike-hb4pc]

He might not be playing with a full deck, if you know what I'm saying. 😉😉

[@mikkimichele51014]

Great Dock Talk. Keep doing it, we love it. Crazy shark bite story!!!! Wow. Plus, we saw 3 fishing jumping in the water next to you.

[@crestedcarvings]

We get in tomorrow, staying in Marathon, can't wait to get out and explore the keys! Thanks for the great content as always

[@rickfazzini22]

I’m late to watch this episode of dock talk, but glad I caught it this was great! A bunch of fun characters for sure! Thanks Aaron.

[@FloridaJack]

Good reports and great story. Thank You.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@edwinroberts4653]

Great to hear from those young guns and appreciate the info.

[@NoleYakin]

Mullet run coming down central Florida east coast right now my favorite time of the year

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha I believe it!

[@peterparsons7141]

Really appreciate these videos, lots of valuable information. Sure hope to get a trip or two planned.

[@jimsapp7969]

Thanks Eric,I really love your you-tube channel !!!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

It's Aaron, but thanks so much love to hear it!

[@halo3tes4]

enjoyed the show ,,,, been to the docks twice now , only because of your show ,foods good nice surroundings and people .

[@bigcity2085]

Re: Blacktip sharks. Had a seafood biz in the 80's . Would get a 15 lb. bullet cut flown up once inna while. You soak that in milk to get the ammonia out, then baste the pieces in jazzed up butter and put it on the grill - it tastes like steak. We even ate it with A-1 steak sauce as a dip...and we ate it all. Now ? You tell me.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

yup! I actually grew up eating small black tips they weren't bad at all.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Blacktip ceviche should be really good. The texture of shark meat is nice for ceviche, I ate hammerhead ceviche in Costa Rica and it was amazing. The shark was a 4 footer I caught trying to catch snapper. The captain wouldn't hear anything about letting it go. He was right, his wife made some of the best ceviche I ever had.

[@EricHaines-u8i]

Love, dock talk. please keep that going

[@roberthandlon1877]

That was a wild story right there I don’t care who you are. Man 5 + hours to get medical after a bite like that. Funny about the Federal Government’s response. Dude is way more forgiving than I. Glad you made it brother.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

thats what I thought, a shark bite is one thing. going that long after a bite without real medical attention is pretty wild. Very lucky.

[@skelley6136]

Wish I was local! This is such a wealth of knowledge! Come up to New England!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha glad you enjoyed it!

[@richardvila3]

Thanks, very interesting show and stories

Hairiest shark situation was with you retrieving my BG after the 2nd shot lol. With 2 extinct aggressive bulls, 2 extinct Goliath Groupers, and a 5' moray eel lol.

My man with the Red Lobster Dunk SBs

[@tonygville2969]

My dear neighbor Mike and his wife Lori were on the Fort for several years before he retired. What I know about Mike, he would have done everything possible to get him to the hospital. I just can't see him being a wimpy rules follower, in this type of emergency. He did tell me that he kicked Jimmy Buffet off the Park. Jimmy was learning to fly these very new planes and he would use the Fort to practice landing in the water. I guess there's a small beach and Jimmy was swimming, and Mike noticed his plane floating away, and he said the current was about to steal Jimmy's plane. So Mike got in his cart and drove to the beach and yelled to Jimmy to get in, because his plane was floating away. Mike drove him across the island and Jimmy jumped out and swam his butt off right before the heavy current. Mike said that Jimmy could swim well. But the last time Mike saw the plane with an anchor, Lori's sister and family were visiting the Fort and their young children loved Jimmy Buffet and Mike drove them to the beach and Jimmy was all alone. The two kids told Jimmy that they were big fans and could they get his autograph. Jimmy walked right by the two kids and said F Off. Mike told Jimmy to return to his plane before he gets pounded. The children's parents wanted to get Jimmy's mind right, and Jimmy was lucky to get away unscared. Mike told him he was banded from the Fort and the Jimmy knew that he meant it. Not the first time that I've heard what a tool Jimmy was. I saw him open for Loggins and Messina at the Hollywood Slimatorium. Nobody knew who him, yet. He'd be playing for beers in Coconut Grove around the same time. Monty Trainer's was his home bar, right before he got more popular. But to tell two little kids to F Off , there's no excuse.

[@ScottTalkington]

Cool!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Thanks!

[@Nick-mg5bj]

Getting comfortable in any situation has its own ying and yang. The ocean can humble even your idol sea man. Tip my hat to Capt Kaynan for getting back in. Not easy

[@sammcvea1069]

Great video 📹 Sir 😊 enjoyed it 👍

[@Fishingforhash]

It’s funny when people say big fish are significantly worse in meat quality, if they are iced perfectly and bled, nothing is wrong with the meat. We sell to 5star chefs and they have never complained about the meat on a big cubera snapper or black grouper.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Black grouper not so much, I've eaten them up to 70 lbs and can't tell a difference. But depends what you mean by big cubera. Anything over 40 lbs or so most of the markets here won't even buy them. I don't like the texture of them, but depends what you're doing with it. Cover it in sauce or fry it and i'm sure it's fine. Your average person probably couldn't tell the difference. Especially if you give it to a well trained chef. But eat enough fish, and you'll taste the difference on a big snapper. But that's just my opinion.

[@vincentaldecocea3469]

did not expect the shark victim to have such a strong shoe game bro was rockin the red lobster dunk lows, mad respect

best dock talk

[@richardborror9025]

Get Ben on more, love his vibe

[@richardtharp1608]

Went to New Smyrna Beach for a Week and Had our elderly Mom and Madison, Conner and Zachary (the Grandkids) .. Zachary and some boys were Rocking the Boogie Boards and Hanging Out every Day.. They'd go South on the beach and put in and Come by in the Current.. I was Fishing and thet were floating.. I kept my eyes on them and told them to go South so they Wouldn't continue Way up the beach.. We got Ice Cream the next to last day and Came back to the Condo.. Zachary and the boys (like 6 of them total) were in the Surf and they had stopped moving.. In a Cut I suppose.. I was fishing with fish bites and Noticed the boys were stationary .. Like 40 minutes after the Ice Cream I saw All of the boys run out but Zachary and Conner ran by fast.. I dropped my Rod and ran like a block to see Zachary walking out white as a Ghost and falling down with a laid open Right Calf with a 9inch bite radius.. He was 11 I think.. A Nurse Practitioner was out there and tied the tourniquet with Zachary's Boogie Board Chord.. His Ambulance Ride and 3 or 4 hour Surgery and like 300 stitches later and He's Here with us at the House today.. He's Running and Playing Soccer even though his Right foot toes stay Clinched Now.. The kid is Tough and We Love Him.. Wish it would've been Me instead of Him if the Truth be Told.. Thanks Aaron.. Love your Channel.. 27:42

[@jamesrahn8339]

I stayed on a boat infront of the Hogfish and went over to The Docks in hopes of seeing you but it didn't happen. Maybe next time.

[@BillLuther-r9d]

Epic! Guy reminds me of John Belushi lol.

[@lesterramlal9060]

Nine scuba dives in one day where your ninth one is at 80 feet is pushing it big time. Please be careful with all these deep successive scuba dives bro

[@TheodoreBrown-jd6yc]

Jus wow!… My buddies right hand got shredded by a big Bull shark! Only 12 miles out and he about bled to death before reaching the dock where EMTs were waiting on us… Definitely not a good experience! Stay safe, 🕷️

[@BroadBillHunter]

Great story

[@Ocean-Grown]

dudes rocking 1500$ SB Dunk Lobsters to the dock. $$$ ballin

[@jacksonwoods4809]

Hey if your ever bit by a morray make sure you go to the doctor, they have some nasty bacteria in their mouth and even if you dont think its bad, its best to be safe!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I've been bit twice, luckily no issues afterwards.

[@chrisredding6034]

I remember that day driving out 100miles for those holy grail spots only to find nothing! Lol

[@ThomasClementsRVA]

Nice video 💯💯💯

[@ThomasClementsRVA]

Do you offer charters??? If so, where do I go to sign up?

[@freedomwanderer]

Thats one of the reasons I put my fish in a bag and not on a stringer. Just my personal preference.

[@motoboy7618]

Capt Alex Harmon Salt creek fishing charters He would make a great Capt to have on

Didn’t you had this gig going

[@kimdavis2508]

That’s why I stay on the porch 😂

[@Tblagbro]

TOURNIQUET WILL NOT RESULT IN LIMB LOSS. I’m glad your friend was OK, but he’s putting out bad info.

[@Misfit_556]

Glad he survived the Shark, but I do want to share that his input on tourniquets is incorrect. That is old knowledge and is incorrect. 20 years of combat in GWOT has proven this false. TQ’s have been left on in some cases up to 48 hours and the limb can be saved. I assist with instructing stop the bleeding classes, this is not true at all.

[@TheDadFaxs]

Dang homeboy got F***ed up wow. So my question for you is have you ever been bit by a shark.

[@RandyOm]

As revenge, does he eat more shark meat now?

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha you'll have to ask him

[@RonAlfordRonalford]

That dude is money, what a story, 1/ 10 million to get bit.

[@penndunaway]

Problem with sharks is one bite can do so much damage to us soft flesh humans.

Dude, there is too many sharks, period!!! Let the commercial fishermen go after them! Right now, China is buying ALL they can get their hands on!

[@Mike-hb4pc]

Sounds like Capt. Elkins got duped! His 'buddy' gave him all those numbers so he could go and check them out and see what's there and report back. Waste his time, money, and gas to get a report of current conditions after that storm. Maybe I'm just a theorist, IDK?

[@wanderrussel5668]

You are right, the kid who gave him those spots in a pathological liar and ego maniac. You definitely come off as a conspiracy theorist though!

[@Fishingforhash]

Oh he was well Aware that those spots might not be there he had a choice to roll the dice and he did. It happens. That’s part of the game.

[@Fishingforhash]
