Key West Waterman is unprecedented in his video presentation, in that he is more informative than any other and brings the most detailed videography of where the fish are hiding and where he is searching.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

appreciate the positive feedback!

[@Dougwituik]

subbed after I watched Gabes vid. Glad you had them down so I could enjoy your content. Great job on your vids, enjoy the narration during the vids. Cheers from Canada

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!!!

[@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!

[@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!!

[@mdv2043]

I see some fried grouper Sammiches is your future. Nice fish Sir. You and Madalynn have a great and blessed holiday. Stay safe.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha right! happy holidays!

[@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!

[@captdbal65]

Beautiful fish . Persistence pays off. Nicely done!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Definitely was and definitely does!

[@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!

[@chadjenkins4846]

I hope Santa gets you a drone for Christmas! That shot was amazing! I know that's a lot of work to add but dang that was cool.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Haha i had one but literally never flew it! Gabe got some awesome clips here!

[@renerusso5603]

YOU ARE NEAR "HOGFISH IN THE PICTURE!" BEAUTIFUL FISH. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Haha merry christmas!

[@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!!!

[@lewisspeed3041]

Enjoyed that video,always cool to see you hanging with gabe and Kelly,been watching their channel and his brother deer meat,for a long time now

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!

[@borikennautical6649]

Great video captain! My #1 fishing channel! 🤿🤿🤙🤙🤙

[@KeyWestWaterman]

thank you!!!

[@meaww7373]

The whole of the fish include heads, skins etc are nice for stew, soups, steams as even the heads are full of flesh and Omega-3s. "The polyunsaturated fat plays a key role in cardiovascular health and cell repair, and has been shown to reduce inflammation. Although most of the omega-3s in fish are found in the fillet, the skin contains a fair amount of the much-desired fatty acid and collagen.. " So lucky you...

[@KeyWestWaterman]

that's awesome! we use the whole fish alot so happy to hear that! haha

[@kw_fishyryan1708]

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

I can't deep dive due to a longstanding health issue. I do get out and grouper dig Sarasota/Bradenton area. Just wanted to give you a shout out for all the incredible footage.

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

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!

@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!

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.

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!

[@lewislambert2141]

Great hunting, fish tastes so much better when your spear comes out of it. Can't believe the Jew fish was so quiet with the commotion around it.
