Aaron, this episode drives home all the things I love about you. Your fishing and boating skills, your realness and authenticity, your ability to make me feel like you are talking just to me, your ability to educate not just in various forms of fishing but also cooking. And most of all your ability to live in the moment and appreciate your life and all that you have! Peace brother and thanks for being someone I always root for!

There is an unexplainable feeling when you're able to hunt and plant your own food. It brings a sigh of relief knowing exactly where your food is coming from and that you're the first person to handle your food.

Amen! I love to catch my own fish, grow my own veggies and especially my own herb. I was just working on my 3rd grow tent setup. Unfortunately it's been way too cold for a FL man living by the Chesapeake for trying to catch any dinner. But when it warms up I'll be bouncing jigs again and I'll start some more veggies in containers.

I grew up in Tampa/ St. Pete. And did all the things, clams, oysters, mullet, blue crabs ,self designed shrimp nets, smoking fish, shrimp,clams and wrote the menu for Two restaurants in st. Petersburg and so,so,so,much more. I got in a bad accident and got addicted to pain killers and am living in sorrow. I don't know what point I'm trying to make but vicariously through watching your videos at least I know how things might have been for me. I thank you for your videos and input while making them. They bring me peace. Thank you!

@danielrd7493 2 ай бұрын

Don't think about the past, brother, think about today and how you're going to make yourself a better person going forward. Take one step at a time and figure out where those steps will take you. The drugs will not provide you contentment, only meaningful action to fulfilling your inner goals will. And clearly, the pain killers are hampering you from achieving those goals. Kick them to the curb and get yourself better!

Comment #2 John Lennon was said to have been sent home from school in 2nd grade with an assignment. Come back tomorrow and tell the class what you want to be when you grow up.... teacher, policeman, doctor, etc. He did. He said, "I want to be HAPPY." The teacher told him he didn't understand the assignment. He told her she didn't understand life. Aaron....I'm not sure if this story is true. It's believable because John was a genius. I am delighted to hear you are HAPPY. Just like John, you make a lot of other people HAPPY, too, though your work. Thank you.

IT DEPENDS! That’s an answer to many complex questions. I get asked questions related to my profession, and unfortunately people want a simple answer and explanation, however the answer is it depends on, because it does. One simple answers to complex questions may not be sufficient, but when you go into details most people eyes start to glaze over, and you loose them long before they grasp the complexity. I appreciate you taking the time to explain open water chumming techniques!

@@KeyWestWaterman I often learn new things by teaching. My son said something that made me think about this . When you are taught the intricacies of something, or you study something you understand how it “works”. But when you experience something, and have direct connection, you see it work, you know and trust that’s how it functions. He explained it that ‘ I won’t 100% rely on theory until I prove it to myself’. That’s something that I know I do my self, and it leads into what you say, that you are need to find out for yourself why things are they way they are. I’m always learning and seeking knowledge. I have great hopes that the WWW will help with a great new era of learning and knowledge. Really enjoy your videos, and your words of encouragement are a very good thing ! Peace.

Otoliths are also great for paleotemperature reconstruction. The oxygen isotope composition of the otolith is related to temperature and the oxygen isotope makeup of the water the fish lives in. We would look for otoliths in the rock record, and analyze them to say something about past climate at that time. Very cool :)

Thank you, sir! This video is nostalgic to me. I used to do this back in the 80s and early 90s off Key Largo. I lived for those light current days. I filled many 172 Igloos with Muttons and the occasional Black. I had a small wreck that held 3 to 5 lb. b liners. Again, filling 172s. Unfortunately, those days are gone. That area I fished has been decimated. I know, me and my friends were part of the reason. But the rule changes haven't helped up there. There are too many people hitting those spots now for them to come back. Hi from Michigan.
