@@KeyWestWaterman Merry Christmas to you and your Fiancee, thanks for such excellent content this year 🍷🎉🎊🎅🎄🤶🎁

[@curlymaple42]

It's nice to know the reality of what you are doing as like you said, many vids don't explain the time it takes and the number of dives it might take. I fear many channels teach the younger folks instant gratification! Thank you for keeping it real!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Yup! It is a pandemic in itself! The i want it now’ers! Thanks for the feedback i do appreciate it!

[@ashbyt1]

I'm glad you spent the day with Kelly and Gabe. They are neat people as are you and thanks to your determination you got a huge Black Grouper.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

they are amazing people! we had a great time!

[@kevin6385]

Nice to see you mixing it up with Bluegabe and Kelly good people. Your channel progressing

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Happy to have them out! Had a great time!

[@mritolduso7355]

Great video again Aaron, glad to see you hook up with BG and Kelly.... maybe DMFD next? Your patience is inspiring....most folks can't manage what you did here, getting antsy and rushing the process! Hats off to you again!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

We shall see! I try to be! And thanks so much for watching!!

[@JETTIEROCKSFISHINGwithMIKED]

Great job, another really good video, stay safe and keep up the good work. Now have Will cook something good. "Fish head soup"

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Man I’ve been craving grouper some soup!

[@joserangel5952]

Best fishing channel on KZbin …..keep up the quality content !! Because of your channel I have gone to key west 3 times this year and can’t wait to be back out on the water in the summer

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha really happy to hear that! and so glad you enjoy the vids!

[@ncsojourner200]

Many dots from ancient memories have been connected..... 100's of groupers rocked up 89'-06' commercial rod/reel...various tricks used to get em' turned or to swim out...your many struggles in the rocks are much appreciated 👍 Always amazed me how they could flare gills to stay holed up... Thanks again... Oh, got the dive knife coming...😉

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha love it! thanks for coming along!

[@jimmaya810]

Real transparency is the truth...thank you for your integrity and passion..much appreciated..

[@KeyWestWaterman]

really do appreciate that! trying to keep it real!

[@kw_fishyryan1708]

I love your vids because you are one of the only people who explain while in the water and what your thinking

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Happy to hear that thanks so much for the feedback!

[@SeaSquatchFishing]

I appreciate these "reality" videos of your spear fishing👍

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Happy to hear it!

Cool to see Gabe and Kelly on your channel!!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

always a good time!

[@davidraines2873]

Brother that was a lot of work to get that fish but it was worth it. Great collaboration with Gabe and Kelly, I’ve been watching both of them even before they did their first video together. Great trip brother

[@KeyWestWaterman]

really enjoyed this hunt! and that's awesome both amazing people!

[@petertrout8140]

Great clip and fish, Aaron! Was waiting for the clean and cook with Gabe and Kelly! Maybe next time. Long clip, but we’ll worth the wait!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

they. normally do the filing when they are down! my channel isn't really big enough to help them out. maybe one day!

[@petertrout8140]

@@KeyWestWaterman don’t undersell yourself, approaching 100k fans if I am reading correctly? You have a fairly large size following! And between you and Will? A lot do us dig you both!!!! All about the catch and cook, and you both cook up some fantastic looking dishes. Good stuff!!!

[@IslandDazzz]

I swear you make your vids seem like it's a one on one conversation and I love it! Keep it up buddy, love the vids and awesome fish!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha hope that's a good thing! really do appreciate the feedback!

[@t-bonejones3576]

Best part was the unusual perspective Blue Gabe could offer of you in that cloud of murk. Just the feet stickin' out and moving around. Made me chuckle. I'm glad he gave you that footage. Their visit was timed perfectly. That clear water gave him awesome footage for his own channel

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha happy he was there was a camera! really enjoy how this episode turned out!

[@ronaldhealy4466]

Loved it. So nice to have another camera for a different perspective.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

yea I really enjoy that about this vid! was nice to have a different angle!

[@petertrout8140]

I asked on another clip if you had ever collaborated with BG or with DMFD, and this answered it! Good for you Aaron, really enjoying your channel and adventures!!!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha too funny!

[@slipperybeastaviationfishingsh]

Great job putting it all together on this video Aaron. Footage was amazing, congrats on the BIG black grouper in just 35 feet deep. Happy New Year. BLESSING. Can't wait for next every Monday 🌝🚤

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Thanks so much! Happy new year!!!

[@olemissfan81]

I found you around episode 10…..so glad you have kept on with the videos! They get better and better! It’s great to see a real person do well with this platform! You’re always real and transparent with your content and that’s what instantly made me sub way back when! I have yet come across another KZbinr that would ever share the money side like you do with your commercial breakdowns or the last video of the KZbin breakdown!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I try to be real in a world of smoke in mirrors! Thanks so much for the feedback i really do appreciate it!

[@jakeroth5809]

I lot of work but very satisfying results… the water was so clear and beautiful that is a trophy fish for sure Aaron keep them coming best spearfishing Chanel in the net and fishing is pretty awesome too

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Wish it was always like that! Thanks so much for watching!

That’s was great control that you did while free diving to get and retrieve that grouper. Very nice job. Also the video is great as well to watch. Congrats on that beautiful grouper

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I do appreciate it!

[@ralphfreeman255]

It's nice to see all the 'Big Guns' working together. Such a nice fish, which is on my someday list.. It stinks being a northerner sometimes.. Great stuff!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha little gun here hangin out with the big ones! and come on down we have plenty!

[@Dornosliw]

@HarrisonC is right. Almost like being there. You’re a true pro waiting for the fish to shift. I’ve definitely forced some bad situations by myself worn out multiple dives no proper breath ups. Nice to see it done right. Learning has occurred!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

that's amazing happy to hear that! really enjoy making this vids when they benefit others. thanks so much for the feedback!

[@MrSime909]

Your experience teaches us beginners so much. Awesome video.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

happy to hear that! thanks so much!

[@troya1495]

I like how you show the process, as a hunter/fisherman I know the stories are what makes it lasting fun.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

its what keeps us coming back and are the stories we will carry with us forever! cool to have these memories on video! one of the main reasons I love KZbin.

[@jack9216]

This is my favorite show to watch. Love the honesty love the animal husbandry thanks for the great content. This is my only fix working away from the coast.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

really do appreciate that feedback! means more than you know!

[@shanecriss5310]

Great video. I think it's so good for newer speros to see this if they are going to hunt reefs. Great patience in the hunt and the retrieval of the fish.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

I agree! was a really fun hunt! thanks so much for watching!

I loved this one! That video with Gabe & Kelly is why I started following you and currently am binging through! Great collaboration. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Such great people we always have a great time!

[@ziradee]

Turned onto your channel by Kelly and Gabe not too long ago and I can already say that you are in my top 5 YT content producers. Reel life in real time. Zero clickbait or fluff. To me that's what this medium should be. True life is way more interesting than feigned interest. Keep doing it your way and hopefully more will appreciate and you'll reap the rewards. Nice hunt. Anyone who is like many, misinformed regarding spearfishing will gain some knowledge. Can't wait to to see what's next!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Seriously do appreciate that feedback! Doing my best to keep it real in a blurry world! More on the way!!!

[@WarehouseFilmz]

Good one! Fish stories are WAY better with video and narration👍🏻
