Exactly what I came to the comments to say. It’s amazing while you’re under. It’s a completely different world, even more so than normal.

[@Julianne955]

That's a genius idea! So many folks move and don't know the area, or have the boat...but where do they go! I don't even mind it's limited to a few lucky folks! It's GENIUS! A little something extra you wouldn't expect. Wishing you both lots of luck, this has potential! Have a wonderful week Aaron and Madeliene!

My favorite channel. I grew up on Narragansett Bay, moved to Austin TX 92, eventually settling in Carbondale, Colorado. I snowboarded for 15 years but miss the oceans and bays particularly shellfish, scallops, fresh fish. KWWM is my go-to for homesickness and anything aquatic on the Ocean or bays et cetera. My dream is to live on a boat somewhere in the Keys. Thanks for the cooking section of your show, my stomach starts grumbling. Ciao belle-

[@donaldwalker6353]

This is the best Chanel on you tube my wife and I love watching the seafood harvest and preparing for cooking and eating . Amazing videos …keep it up for our sake. We go to Islamorada for 2 weeks every year hope to see y’all out somewhere…

[@mikecawley3997]

That is pretty cool you guys offer a fishing trip for someone that buys or sells a home there! Haters are going to hate. I watch your channel cause I am a Idaho resident and don't have the ability to get on or in the ocean and, I love the content. Your videos are amazing! Do what is best for you and your wife. That is ALL THAT MATTERS.

There was a part of your dive today that reminded me of a screen saver, it was so peaceful. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@MrAtrophy]

a trait I got from being raised by my gramma who lived through the depression is to never throw away parts of anything that can be made into a stock. even most veg you throw away like the broccoli stalks goes into a stock.

[@rgnkeys1]

I have watched your channel almost from the beginning. I really admire you and your wife. You show how you can harvest sea food the right way (even putting lobster and crabs back in their homes if they have eggs or are too small). I have lived here in the keys since 1980. Actually 1978 was the first time I tried to move here, but only lasted about 9 months. I had to regroup and came back determined to never leave again, I haven't. I have learned more about spearfishing and fishing from you than I picked up from 40 + years of experience . You taught me the right way to euthanize fish and lobster. Thank you for the lessons.

[@KeyWestWaterman]

Really appreciate the kind words and love to hear you’ve learned so much from the channel! 🙏🏻

i have been diving for 15 plus years and live on the west coast and cant tell you how many antennas i have broken. i 100% agree with you! regardless on how skilled you are. it happens when they are in a cave and all you can grab is the antennas to even have a shot on a keeper lobster. The law/rule was not made from a diver but someone that sits behind a desk i can tell you that much.

Such a shame. Hopefully they listen to the fishermen eventually!

Man, a fresh lobster for my wife's Birthday would be awesome

[@KeyWestWaterman]

haha lots out there!

[@hipreef]

I lived in southern California for years and did tons of lobster dives. Now I am in FL. The main difference between CA and FL in lobster diving is the time of day. Because tools are not allowed in CA, most dive for lobster at night, when they are out of their holes and walking on the bottom. It makes it much easier to catch them without the tools. You can use something call a hoop net, but I always found it much easier to catch them by hand. And by walking on the bottom, you just grab them on the carapace, and no damage done.

Aloha. Same in Hawaii.

Something you could do would just be meet and greets at local bait shop. Great way to meet fans but also get your name out to some new viewers. I’m really happy for you. Being a charter captain is probably really fun when you’re 25 but probably not so fun when you get a little older. People don’t realize how much it a grind it is. Early mornings and really hard work. Tough conditions and sometimes outright dangerous situations. I’m happy to you and also happy you’ll have more time for content I know we are going to see some awesome stuff in the future.

That dish looks amazing! 🤤🤤🤤 Btw, have you ever tried to fry the tomato paste in a dry pan or a dry part of the pan for a minute or two before adding it to the wet deglased pan or adding the wets into the pan. It really brings out a more sweet flavor from the tomato.

I used to use cooking wine in my dishes, but switched to regular wine, usually a Pinot Grigio for the taste, and because the amount of salt in cooking wines is ridiculously high.

W O W ! That chowder looks like food of the gods !!! I can only imagine how delicious it was ! 😋😋😋😋😋🥰 I want to make it, but living in Illinois, I'll have to swap the fish for scallops ! I've never seen that fish in the markets up here ! GREAT JOB AARON ! 😋🥰

[@markespich8574]

Did you know that the manhattan clam chowder ( the red one) is actually a Portuguese version,which reminds me of what you just put together. My mother was Portuguese and my father loved to fish so,you can guess how we grew up. And we have a place on the east and west coast of Florida.

[@Sexyduffman420]

I believe the laws on the east coast are different from the west coast because there is no coral on the west coast. The use of tools helps people not mess up corals and things like sea fans which are probably the most important resource in your area.

[@j.michaelwilhelm7349]

This is the time of year for soups for sure. Have you tried White Chilie? Very simple: white chicken, white cannelloni beans, onions and garlic and McCormicks White chili mix. I have the entire reciepe, but gave you the short version. Quite good !

[@patrickreynolds793]

I'm torn on the tool vs hand idea. I live in Cali and agree that, especially when starting, it's hard to keep them unharmed. Our lobsters are a lil more robust, but they def would benefit from tool use. That being said, I prefer using my hands as it's a lot more fun and feel a lil more sporty/natural. Like I'm going in with what nature gave me type of thing. (Obviously nature didn't give me goggles and a wet-suit I know that lol)
