I live in the Virgin Islands 🇻🇮 and grew up eating fish till this day and I managed to get most of the species wrong. Some of them I would know close up when they are caught but never seen them from under the water. I tried spearfishing once and was very nervous about it. My fear of sharks was the main reason and I didn’t like the feeling of being unable to sense something behind me underwater. Because of that, I live my spearfishing dreams thru the videos you provide for us here. Thank you,sir 👏🏽

Named 13 correctly. Dang...I thought Id do better on that. Definitely gets confusing with all the different snapper and grouper. This was a great idea for a episode. Keeps us on our toes! :D

Thank you for visiting "Aaron's Aquarium!!!" Such a great video concept! Thinking outside the box with this one 100%

One of your most enjoyable videos for me from your channel; and that’s saying a lot. I love all your videos, but this video was not only filmed wonderfully, but I really got to learn from just testing my knowledge. What a well presented video. 👍❤️😊

You dang sure got my attention here , sir. I've seen a few of your videos before, but this one made me subscribe and share. This is a simple yet superb tutorial. I'll spread the word for sure. Thank you!

Omg I did horrible. After spending the last 5 winters fishing in the keys, I expected better from myself. I got 20 out of 30. I suck but I do use fish I’d and fish rules. Enjoyed this one a lot. Thanks for schooling us

Hope y’all are Fine down there. Glad you did this one, some people need it!

I hope you both stay safe with this storm coming your way !!

20 out of 30, I'm a looser. This was very enjoyable. Thanks for coming up with new content to keep the kids from crying in the backseat. Micky C

That was fun! I live on the West Coast (WA), so I have never seen most of these fish in person, but I dream about them a lot. I got 19/30 which I felt was pretty strong for me. Thanks again KWW!

This video was a great idea. Typically, we see pictures of fish out of the water and not in the water. I got more right than wrong! Some I were not sure of and will watch you video and study! Thank you!!

Wow...after watching you dive and spearfish for almost 2 years, I was surprised to be guessing for a little more than half of those fish. That was great fun! thanks

I do not do any fishing of any kind and just from watching your prior videos I was able to correctly guess a few of these! very fun and informative

Dibbs, awesome video! I really appreciate the challenge of identifying each species. Personally, I got 25 correct. Didn't know you had majarra that far south. Would like to see a video on tips(if any) to help measure fish. I know I've struggled with figuring out what 24inches looks like under water. Thx

Dibs, really liked that little test. I’m native S Florida and spent the better part of my life on or under water, still I mixed up a couple but picked it up on your run thru. Great vid for those in need of a little knowledge, I appreciate your thought process when it comes to harvesting any ocean marine life.

I got 18. As an Arizonan who's never been to the east coast or gulf I'm not too upset, but as a biology student I'm pissed I didn't do better! Thanks for this video Aaron, its a great learning tool.

Number 24 must underrated fish on my opinion they are good eating fish. I'm in Tampa bay area so spadefish is common here. Was doing some hurricane preparation here cleaning the backyard and was waiting for 6pm to take a break watch your video and eat something 😂. Maybe share the weather you going on there. Still a little early to tell where the hurricane will go but I'm sure you have people following all over the Gulf Mexico.

❤Gosh, I love your channel, Aaron! I truly enjoy the content and watching your lovely personality shine through each video. You and your beloved bride-to-be are amazing!❤

I don’t like Mondays, but I always enjoy your vids. Please don’t stop.

Thanks for taking the time to put this together

This video was so interesting. I absolutely love the content & time that you spend making these videos and it shows in the quality of it. I look forward to Cooking with Clams-Will, and your videos each week. I’m not a spearfisherman but would love to do it someday. Surprisingly, I did very well on this, getting a 21 out of 30 due to fishing my whole life, watching fishing videos, and I have the fish rules app & study it continuously. Anyway, don’t change a thing and I keep hoping Madeline starts a KZfaq channel someday. Thanks again, Tony from Clewiston Fl.

19 right. The groupers confuse me to this day. Great video sir. Keep them coming!

Thank Aaron enjoyed your video. I got 26 fish right thanks. I was reared in Florida been a PADI dive master for 50 years I am 79 years old now and still free dive and Scuba dive.

That was pretty fun! I'm in NY so I am not familiar with a bunch of these personally, but managed 27 correct. The sharks on the yellowfin grouper clip(one I missed) really startled me as I didn't see them the first time around. Another awesome video, this was really fun!

Dude fantastic video. Always amazed at the diversity between SE FL and the keys.

I missed #9, #10, #12 (all groupers). I knew they were groupers but couldn't tell which one. I've always had a hard time identifying groupers. I need to learn the shapes of the fins, tails, patterns, etc. That's why I carry a waterproof fish species rules/regs book with me. As always, If you don't know for sure, don't shoot or keep it! Fun video Aaron!

I hope you and all the crew are safe and sound with the ugly weather down your way.

I got 15 right and 15 wrong. But since I live in the mountains of SC and only get to fish from shore when I go to the ocean once or twice per year I don't feel too bad about it. But I learned some new fishes for sure. Thanks for the info!

I’m so glad I live with the same type of sea life - diversity but I’m in an Island, cheers from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴HUGE FAN! Currently recovering from a broken elbow injury but as soon as I am 100% will jump back in the water and hunt! Keep up the content it makes me feel as if it was me 🐠🪼

Excellent video. One of your best! Informative, educational, and enjoyable. I learned a lot. Thanks for putting this out. Only con I can think of is that if the colors would have been more vivid it would help with the identification. I need all the help I can get!

Praying for y’all during Idalia! Be safe

You taught me most of these fish!! I got 27, Thank you.

I succesfully identified 14 fishes. Not too much i know, but I live in Europe, so these are that I remembered through the videos.

I loved this! My favorite was the Permit video. That was epic! I did ok for someone who has never dived in my life 😂

Awesome! Thank you! This was an excellent compilation. Bravo sir. You really go the extra mile to ensure the responsible path is taken. Cheers

After years spearfishing is easy to identify these fish, even when I don't know all the names in English, are pretty much the same species I used to catch in Cuba Just missed the Yellow Grouper 29/30. Great educational video taking in consideration that fish underwater don't look like on pictures. The biggest problem I have here is to calculate size because we used to measure fish by weight and here is by size and in inches; a whole new measure to me.

That was a lot of fun. I used to shoot a lot in the early '70's to early '90's, so I'm way out of practice now and way too old to go back, still got 20 out of 30. Mostly mixed up grouper species and swapped Cero for King Mackerel.

I only got 4 right and I wouldn't have even known those if it wasn't for you. I absolutely love your channel and I think you, Madeline and Will are great. 😊

That was a good diversion from the normal venue. One interesting point I'd like to share: did you know that the hogfish is in the wrasse family? Seems unlikely, but it is what it is! Cheers!

I got 27/30, it was the dog snapper and the yellow edge grouper that stumped me, I think part of it is just that it's a little harder to tell on a screen too, the cero almost got me, I was 50/50 on it being a Spanish bc I couldn't see the side of the fish too well

Thanks for the videos. I was hoping you were going to narrate and define specific markings or shapes that help define the different species.

Between my wife and I , we got about 12 right . We knew the snappers & groupers but not the specific species of the 2 other than the Goliath grouper . Looks like we need to do more target fishing with a guide that knows his fish 😂😂 I hear Dibs on Bottom is the go to Captain down there for a great spear fishing experience !!!

Totally nuts how you filmed so many fish in 2-3 dives!!! I got maybe 15 right. Maybe that’s why I am always so cautious taking my first fish, don’t want to be hexed for all time taking a illegal. This may be one of the top videos for me!!!

Loved this! I dive a lot in the Caribbean, and knew a few but didn’t do as well as I thought I would!

1. SchoolMaster Snapper 2. Yellowtail Snapper 3. Dogtooth Snapper 4. Cubera Snapper 5. Mangrove Snapper 6. Mutten Snapper 7. HogFish 8. Black Grouper 9. Gag Grouper (not 100% sure) 10. Tiger Grouper (just saw that its actually a yellowfin Grouper😂) 11. Goliath Grouper 12. Red Grouper 13. Nassau Grouper 14. Amberjack? 😅 15. Cobia ( My pb fish at 40lbs+) 16. African Pompano 17. Bar Jack 18. Yellow Jack 19. Jack Crevalle 20. Permit 21. White margae 22. Mojarra!!! 23. Porgy 24. Spadefish 25. Sheephead 26. Triggerfish (Ocean tally) 27. Spanish Mackerel 28. Barracuda 29. Kingfish?? 30. Wahoo.

Great idea...... thanks for the species identifier! Awesome! 🥰

Thanks for your time and effort making this video. Educational and just fun to watch! Great job Aaron!

I only got 2 wrong! - Mojarra and Yellowfin Grouper :( Video was hella fun, definitely need a part II at some time lol

Love it!! 28 out of 30! That dog snapper and Nassau got me! 😂

After a long Monday I really needed this thank you

100% nailed it !! 1-30 are all fish ! 😂 ❤ love your channel.. Idea: if you remember that old commercial “ Chicken is round; Fish is square “ Merch : picture of square fish patty on bun with captions “ Fish is not Square “ Clams would love it.. I would buy that T-shirt !!

Fun, educational. Certainly an eye opener of what I don't know 👍

27 out of 30.That's pretty good considering I've only caught just mackerals and a cuda from that list. I watch a lot of these videos and have been paying attention.

That’s what I’m talking about,very informative. A lot to learn!

That’s better than Bar Trivia! I’m a C- student. “Never get out of the boat” Apocalypse Now

I like this.. Training videos. I think you are onto something here.

Thank you for this. I have so much to study and learn of these fish.

Good stuff! Loved it. Lived in Florida all my life and scored at 80%. Those different type of grouper always get me.

I was able to recognize 22 of them. This was a pretty cool video. I learned some new fish today 🔥

Felt good to get 22 right! Next video it would be cool if you taught us how to judge size..

Great video Aaron! Thanks for sharing!!! I think 12-13, but we don’t have any of these in Atlantic Canada.

I missed 14 😂 sort of. Could not distinguish between the types of snappers etc but knew they were snappers. Same with groupers and mackerel. Great video!

I love your videos, and I think this one may be my favorite. There are so many saltwater fish in Florida that its hard to know all of them. I found that as I dabbled in spearfishing that the fish can look very different underwater than they do when you are examining them in your hands on the surface. This video highlighted those differences. I missed just a few of the species and my 8yo, fishing fanatic daughter, got 22/30

Great work Aaron, super effort getting this done. It's strange to me that many of these species exist over here in Taiwan, but I didn't see them in California. No need to reply, keep these awesome videos coming!

Good job! Cant wait for you to get back to the reef hunting.

I thought I'd bang them all out, but it's hard to see exactly what they are underwater. So I got the Dog, the Cabrera (confusing them both as a trick question gray/mang) and the Yellowfin grouper wrong. I've never caught any of those 3 species, so was unsure. I also said the Porgy was a Grunt until I re-looked at the shape of the head (almost the shape of a sheephead). Also, the Cero could be confusing with a Spanish underwater because I think the yellow dots play a big part distinguishing the 2 apart, aside from the pinstripe (maybe you got that wrong too. Lol) , but nuntheless, I called it a Spanish.. So 5 wrong out of 30 for me. One thing to note on the this underwater vid, from a distance, was the AP's from a distance looked like a school of baitfish, until the came up close! Pretty impressive camo!

18/30. You really got me with the lesser known snapper and grouper. I only see lane, mutton, mangrove and the occasional yellowtail… and only Goliath grouper where I live a bit further north than the keys.

I’m not a good test taker but I hold my head high when I say I got 17 out of 30 correct. I’ve never seen a triggerfish’s weird swim and it threw me off big time. The others I just didn’t know or misnamed like calling the permit a pompano. I did get the AP though. This was fun!!!

Banger Mondays We’re back 🤙🏾🔥

Not sure how many I got right because I wasn't writing it down. But if I got any correct it's because I watch so many of your videos.

Finally know the difference between a bar jack and a yellow jack.

25 out of 30 😭. Really got thrown off by how blue the yellowjacks looked.

Good stuff ..hey you your lady clams and the fam be safe with the storm and all.

I missed four. Never even heard of a mojarra (thought it might be a pinfish). Missed cubera which was pretty embarrassing. The porgy looked weird with the yellow head. Thanks for putting this together!

This video is very educational and informative one thing is to see these species in photos and it’s a completely different ball game down under the water the environment and colors determine what you would actually see if you were underwater 👍

17 out of 30! Funny thing is that while I’ve caught a mess of some of them i couldn’t identify on the tube :). Thanks for putting this out. Love trivia and paired with my true love of fishing is great :)

21 correct, but pretty sure I'd have gone 30 for 30 out of the water. Amazing what a difference that makes. Fun!

I enjoyed another one. And I stunk at some of them. Hunker down bud, you have some weather coming, I won't see it til late tomorrow or Wednesday.

As a west coast guy did ok. I was lost on types of snappers, groupers and we call porges grunts here. But very fun thanks

YESSSS! Just in time for my Friday trip to Nassau! I won’t be fishing. Just diving. Still fun to identify! Thanks! Hi to Madeline! LOL!

Great video! The FWC should pay you royalties for the video and show it on their website

So professional and informative...! I got 11, right... luv underwater shots... "THOSE POMPANO"!!! TNX 4 VID LOL

I was just in the Keys fishing the bridges and caught some snapper an couldnt be sure which one we had. Turned out to be a Mutton. Good thing i threw it back becasue it wasnt 18" great video. Many thanks for making.

The yellow fin grouper got me😂

Great video. It will actually help the fishery, and you've done a great service to new divers... Kudos!

That was fun....i identified 50% ....got all the ones you harvest right!!!!!

9-and 2 were wild guesses.

Loved this video, really great footage you’re too humble. My kids loved playing this as they are learning.

Great video. I’m a Tennessee guy but got to fish in the keys with my father in law. I got maybe 12 exactly right and knew grouper but not specifically.

I've been waiting on this!!! Beginner here!!!

Fish Rules rocks. I've been using that for years just for the regs

Fun episode! I love animal identifications/ animal lists

Yellowfin grouper was hard to tell, great video!

I only missed two! The porgy and the kings - but I knew they were mackerel. And I'm from Canada. I've never even been to the Atlantic Ocean. I learned them all from watching fishing vids on KZfaq. Thanks to all of my fave Florida creators! Nice idea there, Mr. Young. Great content!

not an easy video to make, well done man

Always enjoy any type of videos that you put out!!!!
