1st time I've heard of a Floridian leaving and going to NY, usually it's the other way around lol. All joking aside, I'm a native Floridian and we travel to the keys for vacation. So it's interesting to see this..

This imo was an exceptionally good episode. I found it was so interesting to see the sea life and habitat in your area of the world and such a comparison to the somewhat murky waters around the UK. Plus, as Mentioned before, I’m loving the underwater narration and your cooking at the end always makes my mouth water!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

love to hear it! thanks so much!

[@PeterRanieriII]

Incredible episode! It was a real treat to see the bottom of the somewhat local waters that I fish. It’s fun to hear your take on the dive and the fish. I also lived in FL for a time and spearfished often so the comparisons were spot on. You had a great weather day out there, water clarity can get pretty bad and like you experienced the currents are no joke so there aren’t many spearos up here. Those were jumbo seabass for the depth you were at, thought you would think they taste like hogfish. Stripers are very bloody they get a bad rap as table fare bc of the drama surrounding them I think. Oh and that was a cow nose ray

[@KeyWestWaterman]

glad you enjoyed it! was a real treat seeing something new! thanks for coming along!

[@fingerslinguine]

I fish out of westport MA - spot on description of NE waters

[@enzopreme]

Since when do Striped Bass get a bad rap as table fare? They're known as poor man's lobster in the Northeast, they're widely known for being an excellent eating fish.

[@willyho2g]

@@enzopreme to me stripers are like an over glorified bluefish lol. I think people love them because you can't keep much of them.

[@Captain_Clark_CDoryAdventures]

@@enzopreme I'm glad you enjoy them so well. I would eat a Rock over a catfish but otherwise give me a drum, crappie, bream, flounder, or even a trout over a rock fish. To each their own. Best wishes and tight lines man. 🐟🐟🐟

[@TDMaker86]

This is now one of my personal favorite episodes with NY being my native port. Now Will knows dam well no one has ever confused striper for Tilefish lol. Sea bass is one of my personal favorites and I made a trip up earlier this summer to stack the freezer with some. The blackfish are also fantastic on the dinner table. You can get the black seabsss as far south as central Florida but they aren’t as big as up north. Again bleeding that striper left it with the whitest meat I’ve seen on striper before. I’m not a fan of the meat but maybe if it’s bled properly I’d change my mind. Keep up the great videos.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha love to hear it! we had an amazing time! thats what I thought I kinda remember catching them as a kid but its been so long I wasn't for sure! and honestly I thought it was great, maybe it was because I bled it. thanks for coming along!

@@KeyWestWaterman Thanks for the reply. There is good value and truths in your videos. I've been watching all of your vids. I love your content. Down to earth and lots of good info. Keep up the good work. Try to enjoy it as much as you can trying to maintain that importance balance. I see how sometimes content creators struggle with trying to post and also live their lives. It is challenging. As for me I am in Miami and my husband and I like to explore the keys whenever we get a chance. I am new at freediving, as you can imagine a work in progress. Also, I would like to spear fish but may be in the future. I think I should become a better freediver first. I love the water and I love the ocean. The water and reefs are great over there🤩I have one question, if you can. Have you ever taken classes? freediving or spear fishing? I don't remember if you had mentioned in your videos?

[@MetalDetectingwithCZkidd]

It is always thrilling for a hit on a new species. In the Canal Zone the 2 oceans were only 50 miles apart. We dove both in the same day, every now and then. It could be done. But there were species that were different in each but alot of common as well. The lobsters were red on the atlantic, green on the pacific. Pacific side was not a true tropical ocean, even though it was only 15 deg off the equator. During dry season water could get into the 60's. Cold!. Peruvian current would come up and turn that water cold. It got so cold one year, we were filling buckets and ice chests with lobster and shrimp. Lobster were literally just under the water with their feelers above the surface, alive but stunned. Pacific Black Snook got big to. Largest I saw speared was 64lbs. Big dude. Enjoyed this one. Always exciting. Well done.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

love to hear it! thanks so much!

[@MV_Checkmate]

Thank you so much for doing the no seasoning taste test on those two pieces of excellent fish. that is exactly what I like to do so that I know what a new species really taste like. I have yelled more than once at Victor on LandShark outdoors. He will catch what he calls a trash fish and then covers it with tons of blackening seasoning and all types of extra sauce. Burries it and flavors and then stuffs in a taco. Then says how good it is. i’ve commented twice on his videos telling him that you can put enough seasoning on a turd to make it taste good. He didn’t agree for some reason, ha.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

lol its a strange concept to me, if you have to cover something that much its probably not that great of eating. but I also understand trying to utilize an unpopular species. thanks for coming along!

[@noflyzonefishing92]

Vic is an idiot! He has annoying friends like Juno Rob. I unsubscribed from his channel. I couldn’t take it anymore.

[@marcuslarwa9098]

Blackfish are my absolute favorite fish to catch up north. I actually used to think they were the best tasting fish until I had hogish and Lionfish. Now there my 3rd favorite fish but still amazing. I think you might be able to keep 1 out of season and if so you should most definitely shoot one.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

would love to try them next time!

[@peterk814]

You def cannot shoot blackfish out of season. He’s fishing in New York. And shooting blackfish is not cool

[@comfortablynumb9342]

That's bluefin territory. It's cool to see you doing something different. Cool video. The black sea bass I used to catch in Florida were delicious but way smaller. They're very slow growing so a big one is 40 years old, or that's what I remember reading.

ill be back in sept for some Yellows hopefully!

[@Randymcsendy]

So how did you feel about the way the fish react to you in the NY water vs the keys? Would you say the fish are easier going? There’s definitely less diving pressure but the viz is also different. I’m North Carolina idk if it’s because we could shoot both in the same spot so maybe they’re eating the same diet but I always thought black sea bass reminded me of hog fish . Even thought it’s a bas and a wrasse. I prefer the trigger eating wise.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

honestly not much different than some of the fish we get. everything was fairly mellow. but yea I could see that kinda had a hogfish vibe to it!

Sorry for so many comments I just be leaving them as I watched the video. I only eat 1 stripers per year and I try to take one as close to 28 as possible because I actually like the smaller ones better. That being said the flesh is very flakey and it has a great taste.
