Such a fun little dive trip! Thanks for always coaching me & putting me on 'em, babe :)

14:35 That Goliath grouper is like: "Sup dude?" LOL

My dive buddy told me about your channel. I love your vids. It’s so real and authentic. No flash. No horrible techno music. Keep making them like this. You guys are such a joy to this insane world.

I missed a few of your videos but glad to see you out their I appreciate watching I do learn a lot about the ocean and life from your vids thanks keep on growing!!

I'm with Madeleine!! Those close quarters were freaking me out, LOL!!! Stay safe!!

Take care of each other, don't upset her, just don't Keep up the smile , cheers

I really appreciate the honesty in your videos. You have a 1 in a million wife!

I was impressed with the shear size of those Goliaths and the amount of bridge rubble that's easily accessible in shallow water!!😎🤿

Bula Vinaka ..!! I was born and raised in Fiji , and I would have to say , Kokoda is by far , my most favourite Fijian dish …. And you made that so beautifully , I could literally smell the aroma from all the way over here In Sydney , Australia , where I now live … I really enjoy watching all your videos , you and Madeleine , are so down to earth and respectful not just to each other , but also to your environment, to your adorable doggy , Tipsy , ( btw , I love the way you have to spell out B-O-A-T , sometimes when she’s listening to you make commentary , hehe ) and to your viewers !! Your videos are much much loved and watched with childlike excitement on my behalf , keep shining and inspiring my friend ..!! Much love and respect to you ..!! 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️🔥🔥💎💎💎🏆🏆🏆🏆

I've said it before...Madeleine's commentaries are always a hoot. Especially when behind the camera. Thanks, guys. Really enjoyed this one.

Madeleine’s tone when she said. “Babe, NO.” I felt that. But this was so much fun, with the coordination commentary and all. Great work you two.

My wife and I took a "babymoon" trip to Destin Florida two weeks ago. Had grouper, redfin and red snapper for the first time. All I could think about at 11:16 was how awesome it was Madeleine could make that shot and secure the grouper... we've been watching your videos for just over a year now and it puts it into perspective how nice of a fish that is to harvest! DELICIOUS! Let me know if you want to trade some Minnesota white tail venison for your grouper catch ;) Wishing you guys all the best and thanks for the uploads!

Sweet grouper Madeleine!

I really enjoy watching your videos as it reminds me of the time I lived in Key West and the Lower Keys between 1978 and 1981. I did "a lot" of diving and spear fishing between those years from Marathon all the way to Ft Jefferson. I live outside of Daytona now and have returned occasionally to do some fishing. Getting a little to old for diving though. One time when I was using tanks and diving some patch reefs just off to the west of Key West I was belly crawling under a coral ledge and the K valve of my tank got hung up in a crevasse in the coral directly above me. It's one of the few times I actually felt panic trying to creep in and I had to force myself to remain calm and figure out how to free myself. I just got to say though that I would never bleed a fish where I planned to continue spearfishing...

I'm addicted to your videos and don't even have a boat or dive but I do fish here in PA!. Just received my 2 shirts ; comfortable as ever. Thanks always for your time , effort and videos!

Pretty cool at the end, you can see the channel heading out to the Gulf!

Love the I-beams! Usually shoot some nice teardrops off that bigger pile in the second half of the video. My buddy missed a black on them about 2 weeks ago. Maybe the one Madeline shot! Go Mads! Aaron, if you drift a little south off those piles you rise up onto a shoal with single heads and rocks around. Lots of hogs and muttons cruise that area.

Terrific video and I really love how you tell us to always dive safe and don’t dive beyond your capabilities. Great cooking recipe too. Nice and easy. Thanks again❤

great trip! Great shooting Madelieine! it is mind boggling to me how long you can hold your breath for! Thanks for allowing us to journey with you into God's great creation! Have a great week.

You both do awesome I could never hold my breath that long. But y'all are half my age. Madeline you're doing awesome keep it up woman I'm proud of you like a grandma would be proud.

Y'all are beautiful folks. Thanks for taking us along. Be safe man little sketchy. Enjoyed God Bless y'all!!

That looked like a fun trip! As a side note, one thing I used to do to clean up the dive gear (this is a work smarter, not harder deal). Take a big trash can (clean one) and fill it with water and throw all your dive gear into it and let it soak. So easy, and probably more effective than just rinsing the stuff off. Drink a beer while your stuff is cleaning itself!

You got a keeper capt. She is a trooper

It amazes me to no end the duration you guys (spearfishermen) can hold your breath. I dont think the majority people understand how hard that really is, when you are moving around and burning o2 the whole time. Props man.

Have to agree with your beautiful wife on this one. I’ve known 3 guys who died doing something like this, all experienced and all of whom thought they knew their limits. Madeline wants you around for 40 or 50 more years. 😀

Great job Madeleine!

Enjoyed the show very much despite the sense of claustrophobia for a lil bit 😳 you continue displaying your phenomenal skills Capt. Mrs. Madeline looks great! Will handled the tostones easily, all looked delish! Looking forward to viewing your next video

She’s got a great voice for narration!

Wonderful video guys

I look forward to every Monday and the notification of a new video but there’s always a little extra excitement involved when I see “CCC” in the title!

You two are living the Dream live.

Only youtuber i will watch when it comes to cooking the fish, usually i just end the video on other youtubers when they cook but something about these vids are just so soothing to watch

Here having fun watching you making Tostones 😊 that’s a Cuban delicacy 😊😊

You have always been able to film a solid catch clean cook. But I’m going to say,the culinary coach seems to be paying off the most.🤙

Had my shooting line tangle on my belt doing this and as you say, if you panic it would be bad. Love your vids, thanks.

I took a tour of a Key West home that I can’t afford, now it’s back underwater boy and girls.

That Goliath just gave you the “ how you doin” look. 😂

Great work! That’s the main thing when under water is do not get excited. Calm, cool and collected saves your breath.

Id love to see another nighttime mangrove spearing again!

Totally agree shoot enough for some meals and go again. The fun is the diving, the hunt and the meals. Fresh is best. Dove the keys and the 60's and had a ball. Learned the brain and bleed, thanks, better quality fish. Still learning.

lol I said the same thing when she hit the grouper you go girl nice job 👍👍

Happy wife happy life. Stay safe

That was a 10/10 for content all the way through

Good job Madeleine!

I've looked at lots of your videos and i dont know what it is but this one had me smiling the whole time. You guys have awesome chemistry and your videos are always pure and authentic. Your wife is a great compliment. Keep it up.

I like your comment “the meeting of the cultures”. I’ve been sharing your videos with my dad who used to go abalone diving in his younger days. It’s great to see your farm to table experience.

Aaron, try frying your plantains the Philippines method called "Banana-Q". Slice ripe, not green, Plantains in half lengthwise then fry at 350 degrees until done. Remove from grease (do not smash) and place on wire rack. Immediately put 1/2 cup of brown sugar in hot grease to melt, stirring the brown sugar will help speed up dissolving the sugar. When the brown sugar is dissolved put in your plantains and fry until the brown sugar sticks to the plantains. Remove from grease and place back on wire rack to cool. Please be careful trying to taste the sugar-coated plantains too soon, burn warning. We hope y'all will enjoy them as much as we do.

1) I've never met a woman who likes Morays 2) Your beautiful wife shoots straight - even on the first dive of the season! 3) and most importantly, she loves you dearly! Stay safe under water ever' body!! Thanks for the Monday installment!

Another awesome episode peeps! Its the best part of Monday! Thank you!

Awesome day and catch. The food looked delicious

Thanks y’all, I really enjoyed y’all’s interaction spearfishing together, she’s a trooper and keeping you inline is priceless!! Thanks again!

One of my favorite videos of all time. I’m Cuban and you made those tostones to perfection. Great content guys! Keep it coming!

Made me laugh out loud with the eel

Quick glance of that goliath sitting under the ledge at 14:20 would have freaked me the eff out. Freaking leviathan.

Great dive! Congrats on your grouper Madeleine…persistence paid off. Lovely and tasty looking recipes! My mouth was watering. Thanks again for another super video.

Haha she said ABSOLUTELY NOT! lol that’s a woman that loves you!

"The eel is not gonna do ANYTHING" Mr waterman that's true until it isn't. After years of being around them in the water not paying them any mind, one of those freaking eels chased the crap out of me for like 15 feet in grand cayman. It was so damn fast I don't think I could have done anything even with a speargun and I wasn't even that close. Luckily it just wanted to scare me off, and it sure as hell did. Since then, I give them extra space.

Thanks for bringing us along. I learn so much watching your videos. I don't that I'll get a chance to apply lessons learned but it's a fun ride.

U guys r gonna be the best parents

Super spear fishing. Risky a bit but an adventure too it. And a great bonus with the feast. Especially the tostones with that coconut 🥥 fish device. Delicious 😋

I've been subscribed for awhile now. I found this video the most entertaining and informative. The interaction between you and Madeline definitely make it more entertaining. Northern Michigan guy trying to learn about your area, hopefully be one of your dreaded snow birds soon😉

Amazing video! Thank you! Love ya'll!!❤❤❤

Aaron you promise when you get a big gig like with discovery channel or something please still put out videos every monday or at least a show 2 nd a hlf hrs long every other monday ill be cool with that and im sure a lot of people will agree ! Keep it brotha your the reason i started free dive spear fishing hell I’ve got the same Koha shorty you got. Very inspirational ! P.s. DONT FORGET ABOUT US ! 😂😂😂

Weather permitting weekly grocery shopping, thanks for taking us along 👍👍😎

That Goliath was creepy. Startling

Looks good, brother. Definitely want to try that recipe.

Madeline you did fantastic in the water and with narration! Your amazing ❤

Caribbean vacation in your back yard. Hard to beat. Im going to have to make that coconut soup fish plantain smash.

Man my anxiety was through the roof for the caves when you first went in I was like o cool he peaked his head in....... Nope whole body and than some inside 😮. Your content is awesome your always surprising me keep up the great work.

Aloha. Congratulations Madeline!

Together = good times

Madeleine did good! Should be proud of that one!

Great video! ❤️ I love it when Madeleine is involved! ❤

Great job guys. Madeleine is incredibly brave

The plantains look like sand dollars that pretty cool

Freshly married you gotta learn that saying....." happy wife happy life"😂 nice trip .

Man, I've lost shafts shooting at snappers like that. Nice video.

I liked the moving camera!

We like to come to the keys every year but the price of bringing grouper home is getting so high I have been thinking of doing a charter to get some. My wife and I both love to fish so it would just add to our vacation. Thank you for the great videos.

Tostones (or patacones) and ceviche are one of my go-tos with fish I catch. Nice job on that. Big crowd pleaser always.

You two are the only couple whose level of adorable is the equal to myself and my new wife. Love you guys. Thank you for the inspiration.

Definitely trying this with our rockfish here in Alaska! Really enjoy your vids. Thx!

Just to see those Goliath Groupers would be a satisfying trip to me. Monsters.

Elite as usual

thanks for the content, I always enjoy watching your channel.

Guys am from Jamaica,u guys are my favorite fan . respect

Our MN snorkel season is just about here, and your vids always get the stoke on. Going to Manitoba again to hunt walleyes. In MN all we can spear are rough fish species, not desirable table fare species. We put on leather gloves and hand pick crayfish too, like your lobstering but way smaller tail treats. Keep up the fun adventures!

One of your best! Great video

Aaron, my grandmother use to make fried plantains....they were so good!!! I know yours had to have been! Chrystina from Lakeland Florida 💕💕💕

I loveeee your videos!!!! Looks like a good time!

I honestly love you guys; so wholesome. It's nice to have a spear / fishing channel that I can actually watch together with my kids, where the female isn't in a pg-13 or r rated outfit!

Great fun sir. Wife is so cute. 🙏

I'm really glad that you didn't get hurt...or worse.....I lost a friend that got hung up..

My daughter and I watch all your videos! She knows you as the bearded man, haha. I fish/edit also and learn a lot from you. Just wanted to say thanks and that we are watching!

Cool hearing Madaline talking on the dive ...

Thank you for your vids! Just wow! That girl is a treasure! And so brave!

love the VO!

Good vids as always keep up the good work...

Awesome vid y’all!!! I been away for a while and back now! So glad and happy y’all got married bro! Congratulations and wish the both of you the best future ahead!!! 🕷️
