Never stop narrating your dives. It’s the highlight of all your videos.

Aaron, I have been diving since the 1960's and stopped last year when I hit 74. During that time I have never had anyone explain, in words and pictures, the proper techniques of getting cheeks and collars off a grouper, let alone your other instructions for cleaning fish without messing up a good fish. Great training material for a diver AND a fisherman. You have a great nack for explaining how to do things. Your natural casual manner really comes across. You could incorporate a lot of your videos into training material. As a fellow Floridian, Thanks for doing what you do!

Hey Arron i like how you narrate over the dives without music and keep the natural sound of the ocean during the dive keep it up

I FUCKING LOVE WHAT YOU JUST SAID AT 1:30.... You're filming what you're doing, you're not filming things that other people want. This is a real KZfaq channel.

You deserve so many more subscribers than you have. You make this stuff look easy! These videos are awesome and no matter how many you put out we will be here to watch.

Don't need/want no steeeeenking music. If I want music, I can find it. I tune in to watch you. I like knowing what you are thinking and hearing what you say. Screw a bunch a music!

6pm Monday. My favorite part of the day when I get to watch an amazingly caring and ethical outdoorsman doing what I love. Always a great learning experience. Thank you Aaron.

Am I the only one trying to hold my breath for as long as these guys do?

I just started watching a few weeks ago and this is my favorite channel ever! Thanks for the awesome content and keep it up 🤙

Aaron: "I consider myself a fairly mellow individual." Yah no kidding....retrieving a wounded fish with sharks all around and your pulse never raises. 😆You got ice in your veins. Love this episode!!!

Yes!!! Way to cure my case of the mondays!

This is my go to on Monday evening after 6, look forward to the new episodes. Keep the underwater narration going, 100x better than a music track. At the rate your growing I’ll guess your KZfaq silver button comes in 4-6 weeks 😁 keep up the quality down to earth videos, love them! Best wishes from Michigan.

your technics are 10/10 one of the best free divers in florida killing it!

Great illustrations, very detailed and informative. Wonderful vid. Get them fish!!!

Remember boys and girls, give it the Aaron. BBGI It’s better for the fish and better for the fish.

You are fisherman and know the best cut's, thank you for the invite for an old fisherman to come along. Blessings on you and your's my new friend...

This is one of my favorite episodes! Great shooting Aaron!

Thanks for putting the fish out as quick as possible!

I don’t get tired of your narrations under water. I live vicariously through you

AP's!!!!!! No freaking way!!!! Talk about a delicious fish. You sure made up for your slow days today my man. Great video brother. Tight lines! Snappin spines!

Really great job on that recovery dive and Black at the end. 👏👏👏

I just call them Grouper Throats and I've been chewing on those for years.... Never throw one away and those Pomps how sweet is that😎👀!!

I learn something every time. We caught some Flag Yellowtail yesterday and I was having trouble braining the fish. I think I had the wrong angle. Getting less clueless with every video. Thank you very much.

In Hawaii, what you call “nerving” we call “spining”. Same same. Hitting the spine, paralyzing the fish, but not killing it. Great vid! 🤙🏼

Once again a great video. Too bad that the tax man collected from your friend but it is key to never leave a fish dangling. The African Pompano are great to eat but they sure put up a tough fight. Thanks for the video.

Great Video Aaron. Great weather and visibility. Amazing under water footage and editing. Crazy with all those shark and paying taxes all on video. Those videos are better and better. Thank you very much for sharing. i enjoyed it fully as usual.

You are the best my friend taking that Grouper surrounded by sharks big cojones buddy 👍👍👍🤙🤙

We enjoy you seem like a straight up & as is guy. Our kids love your videos and hopefully on day to visit. As always stay safe.

Boy it seam's I stumbled across a gold piece with this channel. I have fished\speared my whole life but i'm learning something from every video of yours I watch. thanks

Unbelievable how clear that water is. Like a saltwater fish tank.

Another great post.....very relaxing.

I have never been diving but damn this makes me wanna try. Going 70 feet down on just ur own air is so cool I love these videos

Love the style of vids don’t change nothing your doing for anyone we enjoy watching you do you

Another great one! Brother thank you for your take on grouper cheek an collaring! Blackened grouper cheeks make for some great tacos. Keep it up!!

The way your sub count is rising , I wouldn’t be to concerned about us getting bored. Keep doing what you do. It’s unique and very interesting content.

Hi my name is Hub. Im disabled i have nerve damage in my legs. In Oct. 2021 i got implants in my legs. And have slowly began to get my life back. I was a hellva swimmer in my day. You have given me a mission to regain the strength in my legs and ankles. Im not ready yet but I'm 52 and really want this. Hurts so dam bad going to Ed Allen's camp ground swimming at chickahominy in VA. past 2 days. Wish me luck, at one day ta join you on one of your dives.

Awesome video, like all the others I've seen. Also, timing is everything, like when you surfaced while your buddy was peeing off the other side of the boat! That's about as real as it gets.

Cool video, you're doing a absolutely great job as a narrator. Keep up the good work and of course your living the dream we wish to do some fine day.🎣🐟🐟🐟

Flying in tomorrow from Maine! Two weeks of fishing! Can't wait! Love the channel!

“We don’t always get’em” - wise words that can be applied to many aspects of life.

It is fucking amazing how much air comes out of them when u cut em! Like damn they were on the bottom? Looks like popping a Ballon! 😆 🤣

I just found this channel. Just wanted to say we’ll done. Excellent work and thank you for your time.

Most enjoyable video!! Also I ordered a T-shirt and I tried it on the water 2 days ago - very comfortable and cool looking!

Dido. Cometary. And. Music. Keep up. With the videos Lived in marathon. Years. Ago

love ur vids+ you should keep the commentary its awesome hearing ur thoughts on each dive!

Make any Monday good with key west waterman! 🎉

Great video Dibs! That’s some beautiful fish you guys caught.

one of the best channels on youtube, absolutely

The water is so calm, great dive!

Aaron, Peter hit the nail on the head! You are truly a natural on camera. Great video! 85' huh...IMPRESSIVE!

Hi Aaron, I don’t know if this has been mentioned yet, but what you are likely hitting when you “nerve” a fish are the otoliths in the vestibular system of the fish. This controls balance in fishes(and humans) and are located behind the brain.

Well done as always Commentary is how I honed my technique do not stop 🤙🤙🤙

One of my favorite channels on youtube! Great video man those were some giant AP's

Gosh man, ya know I found your page maybe 3-4 days ago and I literally feel like I’ve watched all your videos. I got diagnosed with epilepsy a few years ago and ever since then I’ve become kinda obsessed with saltwater life and the crazy Reef ecosystem. It just blows my mind the life underwater, especially in saltwater. Love the videos and channel. The narration of the dive is great by the way. Love the channel brother!

First time I went to the keys in June of 2001 off islamadra I remember being able to see the lobsters in 65 feet of water , when it's clear it's bathtube clear

Sir not all of us have the lungs of a bull elk it’s incredibly difficult to dive 60’ chase / spear, chase your speared fish down, catch your fish with one hand while the other hand is maintaining your speargun/ line and swim to the surface. Point being… that’s why some of us sloth lunged people let them dangle a little longer than we should! Love the vids

Love Your Catch n Cook Videos . Peace From Kentucky

We use a pair of catfish skinners to pull the skin off the throats “collar” before removing them.

Outstanding. I was mesmerized watching you hunt amongst the sharks. You make us smile, watching you in your element. Learned alot, again. Thanks Aaron.

Omg 😱 not 1, 3 lemon shark 🦈. Alright Branden great catch.

You paralized it bro👌💪, straight made it INVALID😁

Assume the shaft at 22 min was SS. When shooting caves in Anegada in the 80's I bought 2 brittle spring steel shafts and snapped both shooting dog snapper in caves. SS bends, spring steel snaps. Also jewfish in the 60's rig diving we used SS. We always had wavy shafts from re straightening. Just finished my book 60 years of spearfishing. Spearing Mag will have some chapters and also help me find a publisher. You have amazing spearfishing for 2022. Many places shot out from overfishing and in Mexico and Panama commercial greed and no enforcement.

Loving the instructional content, learning so much, thanks. Keep it up.

Always a pleasure watching your videos. As for suggestions just keep doing what you enjoy if it becomes forcing yourself to film it's less enjoyable for all parties.

another great video, thanks for doing what you do

Good job love the dive and the big fish.

Don't drink the water! your buddy is peeing in it off the back of the boat! LOL

We Cubans like to make a broth with the head of the fish and it is quite tasty, especially with the head of a grouper. I don't know if you have ever tried it. We do this before we start drinking rum or whiskey to avoid an early binge. Great informative video as always

Spine-ing is the term we use. The science is damage to the spinal cord which carries the nerve fibres from brain to body, this runs through the vertebra or back bone. Often the spear barely needs to glance the back bone to damage the central cord, similar to humans where a fracture can leave a person paralysed. One of the most interesting manifestations is that many fish have some degree of nervous control over their colour (think lit up marlin), sometimes you see the colour from the spear shot back shut off and the fish goes pale in the rear section. You see this often with Mahi Mahi.

As always, one of the best! Another great vid to watch and you'll get to learn more as well. Cheers kwwm😁 can't wait for the one 😊

I’ve only recently have the pleasure of visiting Florida Keys, already planned another trip this summer. All of your videos has been extremely educational for me, thank you so much and keep it up!!!

I wish I could afford to live in Key West!! I'm a Helicopter Mechanic by trade and I'd love to be down there and fish with ya! Keep up the GREAT work good sir! Much respect and support from Yuma, AZ. 👍👍

Awesome memorable day of spearfishing. Thank you for sharing the great beautiful blue.

Awesome job Boyz !!👊🏻👊🏻

It's always a joy to watch such high quality videos, from you. Thank you, Arron.

🙌🏼 wow those African Pompanos, awesome!!!!!

Another good one! The APs were a great surprise

Great job. Most people don't or won't eat the cheeks or collars but the meat is very tasty.

Aaron, Beautiful video! I’ve said it many times but I really love your no-nonsense, chill style. The voiceover is so much more engaging than the typical music sound track and your videos are always educational. Thank you for sharing with us!

You have the best channel man I’ve said it before but truly I don’t even spearfish yet thoroughly enjoy the diving and spear n cook videos…. I am an avid fisherman so your reach goes deep man! Continue to do great work I try to share you YT page to as many people Ik that appreciate good fishing channel’s.

Fellow Aaron here Just found your channel! Love it! I’ll live vicariously through you until I can make my move to the keys! Thanks for the great content!

Good one ! Amazing how much meat is in the head and collar!

The narrations are great .. it allows us too share in the experience and attempt to see what you see or understand .. thank you

You know what it is! Daddy is home!

love your vids man keep up the good work !!!!!!!!!!!

Another good one! Thanks for the education at the end!

24:56 - Clams surely looks BUSTED! LMAO! :) Fun video, thanks as always.

Im with Peter Aaron, Hope all viewers know what your giving them great stuff, Doc E

You could tell Brandon doesn't trust those sharks like you do. Great video! Great teamwork..

You are amazing love watching you videos. I will some day come out and see you and go on an adventure with you. 👍

I bet there is a lot of viewers that would love a big grouper skull mount Maybe do a contest for one. I am sure I am probably older than you and the reason I call you Uncle Dibs is out of Respect.

Dibbs I always tell my younger family and friends this “you know how you know you’re getting old? You start making noises every time you move“ 😂 peace & love brother.

I really enjoy your videos, free diving like that is something I no longer attempt at 63y/o But that clear water and watching you guys working together, it brings back some great memories, thanks

Pretty work Capt, Ive been watching for a while and I enjoy the hell out of these videos. I charter out of port Canaveral and I could only dream of that clean water brotha. Thanks for keeping it real and keep killing fish!

That turtle was beautiful. The ocean terrifies me lol. So much can go wrong. The movie open water disnt help

Great video. Makes me wish I could swim... and live in Florida. I'm digging your channel, you're very respectful of the game and don't do a lot of unnecessary screaming and hollering and carrying on like a drunk frat boy. Subscribed

Thanks for the block of instruction.

The quick dispatch of fish or any animal is ethical. Hope your behavior catches on with more spearo's. Thanks

Great narration,

Dude you are awesome man, keep living the dream man and stay doing great don’t let any negativity hold you back from greatness! Keep putting these videos out there brother!.
