Thanks so much for watching! If you have any questions please feel free!
How much would a boat outfitted like yours cost???
Also, how often do "game wardens" stop your boat to check catch and boat safety? Videos covering these encounters would be instructive!
Bro u live the life that's awesome! I just went down their for a couple days to try and catch some lobsters lol. Didn't do to good came back empty but it was still fun searching for em. Awesome vid bro🤙🏼👊🏼😎
Buy AMC Stock...
Why don’t you just hang ‘‘em in the freezer for 20-30 min and put them to sleep rather then stabbing them?
Also do you remove the poo tube as it looks like you didn’t, if you don’t, why not?
I had a yellow lab that went fishing with me all the time. He ended up liking shiners, he got so excited when i caught a net full. he would not stop eating them! LOL one day while camping on an island by the skyway, i got up and left for fishing. i had my back to the campsite, but i was about 200 yards away. I caught a nice trout and I heard my wife screaming. I looked up and here came Cala. he swam all the way to me, I loaded him in the boat and fed him a dozen shiners. I miss that dog. enjoy having a dog like that, i did for about 12 years.
haha sounds like a trip!
Damn, Cala did not like your wife for some reason. Jk
Memories, must bring a smile to you thinking of your dog and missing the time spending with him.
Growing up in Florida I can tell you the younger generation can really benefit from your channel. I am almost 60 and you teach me something in every video. The cooking part is just an added bonus. Cheers.
really love to hear that! you just made my day! thanks so much for tuning in!
Just turned 60 saturday. I agree with you Alan L
Well if you wanna teach an Arkansas young buck anything I'm available lol. I love stuff like this
Man, it is to admire your respect for these creatures and how you treat your hunt with regard and professionalism. I've seen videos from this 2022 mini-season of some characters grabbing lobsters by hand, flattening them, and tearing them apart before they even know if it's a female with eggs or an out-of-measure juvenile lobster. Once again, my respect goes out to you!
it really stresses me out, hopefully these videos encourage others to be little more careful. thanks for the positive feedback!
If these people really are doing all this stuff and you are so upset by it, report it to fish and game?
Thank u Aaron so much idk how u knew but i needed something uplifting 2 see or watch or hear 2 make a bad day into something that gave me Joy n my 1 of my darkest days...Thank You Blessed One!
so happy to hear you enjoyed it! thanks so much!
Love the episode cant wait for the next...thank u again ps...can u teach me how 2 dive
We watch you every Sunday morning, it’s such a pleasure. Your respect and professionalism as a fisherman is unparalleled.
Really love to hear that! Thanks for the kind words!
Another 5🌟 episode! Who else is tilting their head to look under the rock ledge for the lobster as it comes onto the screen 😂 I believe that stuffed lobster was good, you got the head bob of approval 🦞
haha love it! 😂
Me
Me!
I was watching at work and my coworker asked me why I was tilting my head. 😆
I thought I was the only one lol
Just discovered your channel this past Sunday I believe.
I am catching up as fast and I can !
I really, really enjoy the Zen behavior and tone of voice. A true Waterman.
welcome to the channel and really love to hear you enjoy it 🙏
6 to 10 Mule deer a year in our household for many a year, and yes a guy needs to get creative with the recipes. I’m so envious right now. Living in Utah and loving seafood can become difficult on the taste buds at times. Brand new subscriber, so glad I looked to the side and saw this episode in my feed. Looking forward to checking out your material. Thank you so much for sharing and may god bless you and yours.
welcome to the channel love to hear you enjoy it!
I’m in Utah too! I just hit a mule deer on my way to go ice fishing on Friday. Damn things are like rats on stilts! 😂
Aaron, you without a doubt, have the best channel. Add to that your great personality and it is such a joy watching your videos. You are about the best thing that happens on Mondays.
thanks so much as always!
It is the best by far! Keep up the great work!
11:32 Best Zoidberg impression I have seen this year.
Woop woop woop woop woop...
lol idk what that means but sweet!
Wow, what a cool and calm video...
Your relaxed attitude, the no show-off and controlled method of catching the crayfish is such a different angle from the others doing similar.
The preparation and cooking the crayfish was nice, but where was the credit to the missus in doing the crisp green beans and mash 🤔🤔. 😏
Another nice way is to put a little bit off sea water in a bigger pot, pack some thick kelp on the bottom, maybe some small round river stones, and place the crayfish above the watermark and steam them until done. That way you don't lose a lot of flavour when boiling them in water..
Last note...
The meat in the legs and head is still the best, but you know that.
😋😋😋
Thanks for the nice video.

really appreciate the positive feedback and info! thanks so much for tuning in!
Hi Aaron & Madeline. Aaron from beginning to end this was amazing! I love your sweet dog too. I love lobster. It’s so expensive to eat in the restaurant. You are so blessed, just jump in the water and get a whole bunch. I really love the way you made them too. Gosh I was sitting here drooling watching y’all eat. I really appreciate you sharing this, I know you were very tired. I just really love your laid back lifestyle. I know you do work hard, but I guess the simplicity of your lifestyle is just so nice to get to be a part of. Can’t wait for the next one. Thanks Aaron. I love y’all bunches ♥️
make me happy to hear you enjoy them so much! makes me wanna keep making vids! really appreciate the positive feedback!
Aaron your smooth vocal cadence and cool demeanor are therapeutic for many people. You are well on your way to FT here in CZcams.
We love you and Madeline.
that is strange for me to hear haha, but Im happy some of yall enjoy it! thanks for tuning in as always!
Before 2009, when the bottom fell out of the housing market, I lived in KW proper. After work, as a carpenter, I'd take my little boat out, have a swim, catch a fish and cook it up - all before nightfall. I envy you. Nice Keys boat you've got there.
its a good life! glad you enjoyed it, thanks for tuning in!
Every video i watch of yours, man I am jealous of your way of life. Your life looks fun, I feel like I wasted mine.
I won't lie its a fun time!
Sorry we've been really busy the last two weeks I'm just now watching this video . And would like to say that I can't believe that you answer every video . No other channel does that . It really shows how committed you are to your videos . Good luck with everything you do , You totally deserve it .
no need to apologize! and I try to keep up, really love chatting with yall and makes me appreciate what I have more! thanks so much for the support!
Dude, your videos are just the calm I need to end my day and I always learn something. Thank you!!!
love to hear that! thanks for watching!
Yeah I like the relaxing vibe
I would love to move out of landlocked Las Vegas and out to Florida. My kids love watching all the channels on Floridas CZcamsrs and fishing! They would love this life and so would I. Thank you!
love to hear you enjoy the videos!
Honestly man the backyard adventures are my favorite. Your little boat is awesome. Love seeing you go out with Madeline and your friends. And definitely love watching and learning about dispatching your catches, processing and cooking. I don't know anything about seafood. Your channel is full of great stuff!
love to hear it! those are the easiest to film by far! lol
Omg 95,000 subs. Hooray for you. You are getting the attention you have earned. Your content variety is spectacular. Love you all. We can't wait to get back to the keys because of videos like yours. Thank so much for all the lessons on the proper way to enjoy God's bounty.
getting there slowly but surely! just the way I like it! thanks so much!
Our family is grateful for your video's we have learned so much. We are first timers with many of your adventures , although my husband and I free dive our kids are on there way. We enjoy your enthusiasm and respect for the sea. Stay Safe...As they say...Fish On!
Really love to hear this! Thanks so much for sharing really do appreciate it!
Just the look of ANTICEPATION on Madeline's face told me how good that dish was going to be ! She was like...Just hurry-up and sit down so I can eat !!! L O L
haha I left that in there for that reason she was cracking me up!
I cannot thank you enough for posting these videos. My grandfather was a commercial fisherman out of big pine. My life has not been the same since he passed and you keep those memories coming back for me.
really love to hear that, thanks for sharing!
Ugh, first year in over 20 I missed mini season!!! Was so heart broken, but as usual your channel brought the smiles to cover my losses lol. Keep up the great work KWW!!
thats a hell of a run! glad you could come along though!
You guys are so cute. We love you both. Thanks for the positivity, education, ecology, and great s recipes. Its about the adventure, love, and stoke in the journeys. Everyone needs more people like you Aaron and Madelyn in their lives. Started the outrageous life positivity in San Diego, La Joll, CA being a surfer and fisherman with friends and stangers in
1977. Love you. stay safe!,
we just wanna enjoy life, whatever that means at the time! thanks so much for coming along and the kind words!
Delish every single time. Thank you!
🙏
My man. U are a very bless men. Have everything a beautiful house in a beatiful place. With all my respect a beatiful wife. And u are also very talented great fisherman great cook. What else can u ask for. Food looked sooo good.
I don't have alot of complaints! life is good, thanks so much for watching!
seems like a perfect day to me and I am really glad you got the one missing it's antennas. I hate to see animals hurt and left in the wild
one of my pet peeves!
100k subs congratulations. Unfortunately due to the lock down and family health issues I haven’t been able to get down there for the past couple of years so I’m living vicariously through you guys. Can’t wait to get back there. Thanks
thanks so much! and sorry to hear that hope things get better
Camera, giggle, sample lady! Fun catch an cook!
lol! thanks for watching!
Aaron, you are a good man. Hard worker, providing for your family and ethical. I personally am envious of your life in the Keys. I grew up watching Flipper and always wanted to live by the ocean and dive, fish, harvest my food like you do. I’m 57 and will soon spend hopefully at least half my year in Florida. I learned to scuba dive at 40, better late than never, and will hopefully learn to spear fish at some point. When I do, I will definitely look you up for a charter and possibly one of your short guns. In the meantime, I will continue to live vicariously through your videos. Best wishes to you, Madeline and Cookin with Clams from Northern CA!
Really appreciate the kind words! Truly just hope to enjoy my life surrounded by the people i most about. And love to hear that it’s never too late! 🙏🏻
Aaron my brother from another mother!!! LOL!!! I had a real good smile when you said to Tipsy "Hey no whining, this is a happy place", and two sec later her face is in the wind, tongue out, living the life, love it🤣🤣🤣!!!, and you are most definitely right brother, this is a happy place, I know I am every time I see your vid notification pop up, Hi Madeleine👋👋👋😊, Hope y'all are doing well, the current at the start of the dive reminded me of the NYC trip, and nice catch on the second and 4th lobsters, as always stay safe, stay awesome out there👋😊👋
haha thanks so much as always!
@@KeyWestWaterman save me a lobster tail if we ever meet up in real life my brother 🙂
Thank you so much for this video! I just got diagnosed with Covid and feeling not to swell and this was so calming. I hope to one day live like this.
so sorry to hear that but glad you enjoyed it! thanks for coming along!
Ole girl having the the time of her life. Great dive mate
haha she sure was
Watching you dive on lobsters really brings back fond memories of my days lobstering. Back in those days, there was no limit but my personal limit was 20... then again there were sooo many lobsters. My method back then was to find the antennas sticking out and then approach the lobster from the backside where he can't see me. Then tickle only the antennas and he will come nearly completely out of the hole to investigate...where you can then grab him around the top. Works nearly every time back then, but then again lobsters were not menaced as much as they are now and I guess they tend to get smart.
it sure has changed! love to hear you enjoyed it!
Thank you for commenting, explaining and reminding us that safety comes first and to trust your gut instinct !
(Referring to your video, about 4 minutes in, when you told us you moved from your original spot and explained why you did).
You are so honest and down to earth !
You may have saved lives and or tragedies.
Much respect !
Keep doing you !!!
🙏💚✌️☘️
🦞🐟🦀🐠🦐🐬
i'm happy to! I love learning so it makes me excited to share what I've learned with others who genuinely want to learn. thanks so much for the positive feedback and for tuning in!
@@KeyWestWaterman
You're welcome & thank you. 🙂
It is awesome of you to HAPPILY share your knowledge and experiences !
Experience is the best teacher.
By the way, your supper of stuffed lobster tails and sides is mouth watering !
You and Madeline are awesome together, such great & easy going personalities.
Stay safe & God's Blessings ALWAYS.
👍 🙏✌️
Great video, Aaron. Nice bugs too. Circus? Lol! You have a way with words buddy. I’ll call mini season something else here in Marathon… couldn’t help but notice the wind blowing the trees from out the window when you were pulling the lobsters out of the pot! Been blowing like crazy man. Thanks for the delicious recipe. Learn something new everyday!
haha I try to find new works, and CZcams appropriate! and yea it sure has hopefully it lets up a little! thanks for watching!
Such an abundance of seafood in The Keys. Healthy living. Love the dog.
lots of goodies! thanks for watching!
Dang bro! Killing me! And I saw that Licor 43 on the fridge. Mix up some Key Lime Pie martinis for desert? Heaven on earth.
haha thanks for watching!
Wish I could get out and go lobstering
Your channel is my dream life
its not so bad! haha thanks for watching!
This was super fun! I’m definitely following along here on! Love what y’all are doing and keep it up! Thank you so much
glad you enjoy the vids! thanks for tuning in
The lobster/crab and shallow water mangrove videos are the best!
glad you enjoy them!
Snorkeling for lobsters down there in the keys was probably some of the most fun I've ever had
its def alot of fun!
I enjoy this even more knowing the story of how you got here my friend. I also enjoy the 'Easter egg hunt' of lobstering, its far more leisurely than your average wahoo drift - cheers brother hope you get a little downtime again soon keep up the great work!
haha alot less sitting around than wahoo drifting 😂
@@KeyWestWaterman 🤣
Such a cool video as usual here! Always been curious about this. I’m a scuba diver not a free diver so I never actually get to do this. Thanks for the educational experience!
thanks for coming along!
Man I love your videos! I'm so jealous of your life! I live vicariously through your videos!
love to hear that! thanks so much for tuning in!
So Lobster Blood (all crustaceans) : The reason it is clear and blueish is because the protein in their blood that caries oxygen is myoglobin not hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is what makes our blood red and is the protein in red blood cells that transports and releases oxygen to the various cells in our body. Love your channel!! Ed
that is interesting! love learning, thanks so much for sharing
Hey, Aaron 👋 I love seeing Tipsy on the boat! Does she ever jump in? She looks so happy while your going fast. Dinner looked delicious 😋 Think of all that butter as your daily dairy intake 😂 Will is missing out for sure! Have a Blessed Night 😊🐶
haha yes she does! normally claws me to death, maybe I should leave those moments in! thanks for coming along as always!
@@KeyWestWaterman it is not “to death”, she is trying to “save” you. Similar with my labs, I just spin them and grab the tail, get a free ride back to shore.
Yes please leave the candid real stuff with Tipsy
Great video, again. Thanks for explaining your ethics and teaching us the right way to catch lobsters. Will a lobster with broken antenna survive and grow new ones, or is it a wound? I know popping off stone crab claws the wrong way will kill them so I'm curious about lobsters.
from my understanding they don't grow back, they will survive, I've never noticed an antenna in the process of growing back. the legs however i'm not sure. I've seen some with legs removed die.
@@KeyWestWaterman thanks!
Watched some other folk using what looked like a large sized, quite small meshed, baker's tray.
Set down on 4 rocks. Couple of bigger rocks inside to weight it down.
They have a few of these set over an area. Wham instant desirable crayfish hotel!
When they require some, they visit what they refer to as their farm & collect!
Thanks for the video!
thats a good way to end up in jail down here.
His voice is so soothing when we go underwater with him!! Its great and relaxing!
glad you enjoy the videos! thanks so much!
6pm like clockwork
thanks for watching!
Miss those days. Man that looks good.
thanks for coming along!
lol, couldnt help but laugh at the crab running away at 11:35
lol
Always dreamed of catching what you eat. Think you for allowing me to daydream while I eat my lunch at the office. Much jealousy🤪 and much love. Keep the videos coming my friend. Thank you for allowing the rest of us to live the dream alongside you!
haha its not so bad! thanks so much for coming along!
I have always drifted and dove by myself. I grew up on the 27 mm ramrod key. Their was no one to invite to come with you. Thank you for bringing back great memories.
it doesn't stressed me as much in the shallows. i'm not above accidents by any means. glad I could take you back!
"What a long strange trip it's been"!. Happy Birthday Jerry! Al have a have a Grateful Life!
thanks for watching!
I need a miracle everyday!
Yum, yum, yum...well done champ, looks sooo good!! Definitely gonna try that.
it def was! thanks for watching1
I'm Good for another day...Miss Florida, I do...😔...but I can live vicariously through my two favorites "Conchs"...Blessing for another great video...
thanks so much for watching! glad you enjoy the videos!
Paradise !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Say your blessing !!!!!! I know that's a long day and you are tired but man that is a good kind of tired. You guys have have worked hard and you deserve it.
its definitely a good kind of tired! thanks for coming along!
So that's how it's done. You should catch them behind the back and not at the front. Again, another life lesaon from the master, KWWM 😁👌 cheers
lol! thank for watching!
Raised here in South Florida, been diving for 42yrs love to grab my Lobbies. People always want me to come and bring the Lobbies to the party. Great videos brother keep them coming

This dish looks fabulous……talk about farm to table……you earned yourself a new sub here Aaron!

It does my heart good to see you two and know it’s real people sharing real life experiences! I hope this is seen by the masses.
thanks so much, genuinely just want to enjoy ours lives!
Hello again. Went out spear fishing Saturday morning and got Mangrove Snapper 14 to 15inches. They are still in their pre spawn in small groups.yum. Take care.

Nice to see the Puppy (LOL) with you
Lol!
Double like. Great background while we cook after a fish and a swim with the family!! Enjoy every minute!! Thanks for the glimpse into your life!
thanks for coming along! glad you enjoyed it!
@@KeyWestWaterman you’ve inspired many including me to smell the roses 🌹! Life is precious! Freedom is essential! Many thanks from my family to yours! Kindness knows no borders!
I have baked lobster with garlic shredded mozzarella, finely cut bacon (just a light sprinkle over the cheese) dusted with salt and black pepper.
love it!
Always a good time watching
thanks for coming along!
Another winner of an episode, Aaron. I thoroughly enjoyed it. You have a gift for story-telling.
glad you enjoyed dit!
Thank you, this has been one of the most enjoyable videos that I have watched. I can't emadgin what FRESH Lobster would taste like let alone fixed like you did. Thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for tuning in!
Thanks for sharing..! Beautiful fullest life..
thanks for coming along
Wow! I grew up in South Florida and the keys, my family has a house on Big Pine and grew up diving and fishing. I’ve never seen someone squish the shells on a lobster tail to remove them. Learn something new everyday 😅. Love your story and your channel. I just stumbled upon it just now. Very cool!🙌🤙🍻
haha can't take credit for it my roommate showed me that one! thanks so much for tuning in!
And here I thought I would be watching just a video on lobstering, and I get a great example of Integrity, you know, doing the right thing even when nobody is watching. Thanks again!
haha thanks for watching!
@@KeyWestWaterman I think someone is intruding in your channel (see Highlighted Reply above))
My wife and I so enjoyed the episode and dinner looked so good we had to build it ourselves. Loved it. We both got a chuckle out of the fingers mysteriously appearing to taste the process. Love your honesty and the kind words of advice about water safety mixed in along the way. Always a kick when we have to spell certain words around the pets at times. Keep up the good work.
lol she cracks me up! love to hear you guys enjoyed it. thanks os much for tuning in!
Nice having the freshest seafood dept. Right out your backdoor . I just got back from Alaska and tonight it is king crab stuffed halibut fillets. Tomorrow night its grilled king salmon with mango salsa.
man that sound amazing! I gotta get up your way! 😂
@@KeyWestWaterman bro I live in Round Rock Texas. But I have family in Alaska. Usally go every 2 or 3 yrs for a couple weeks. I was going to spearfish for halibut this yr but weather didn't allow for it. Still brought home lots of halibut, king, silver and pink salmon and a bunch of black rockfish and yellow eye. I still am planning in the next yr or so to come down and dive with you one day and chase a sword another. It is so hot here in Texas the fire hydrants are chasing dogs. Alaska was a cool 40 to 50 while there but my heart is in the keys or somewhere tropical. You and Madalynn stay safe Sir and keep up the good work. I did pass on one of my buddy's your info to try to book a charter when he is in key west pretty soon hope yall can hook up.
2 charters than lobstering, that's a long day... Nice job!!!👍
it was for sure! no issues sleeping! haha
Tipsy has mad skills…great jump and a 9.9 for the landing. Stuck it.
Watching your videos makes me want to come back to the Keys. Was a lot of good days snorkeling, Fishing and hunting in the scrub by the Glades. Dang that was 5 decades ago. Tasty looking dinner. Best
its a magical place! thanks for tuning in!
Living the dream brother. Living the dream.
im tryin!
You are gonna keep her forever feeding her like this my boy. ❤️ Love what you are doing. Keep it up.
haha I plan on it!
I love it when tipsy is on the boat with you.
me too she just gets a little wild sometimes!
Lol I’m eating chicken salad in my big truck watching you eating lobster and crab I’m so jealous lol. The world can collapse and you will never go hungry. Love your show.
haha 😂 chicken salad isn't so bad! thanks for tuning in!
Cool video! The funniest part was your wife waiting on the food being ready! Like a kid a Christmas .... 🙂👍
Lol i got a kick out of that! Had to leave it in there!
On your way to 100k! I had to go make something to eat after watching..thanks again!!
haha we are getting there!
Lobsters are so good . We go to Red Lobster once a year when we get our taxes back and I love it . Wished I could eat it at least once a week . Last year we took our two kids and my oldest daughter and her boyfriend and the bill was outrageous but well worth it . Me and my Wife also took my Dad and Mom some to and they were so appreciative of it cause their just too old to travel that far . Still enjoying your videos, tell everyone We said hello even the animals . Stay Safe and God Bless
haha love it! won't argue that lobster is great!
Hi Aaron We tried your recipe. The lobster with the Parmesan and Panko crust. It was excellent. I wish I could send you a photo !!! Thank you.
glad you enjoyed it! love to hear it
I so enjoy you taking us alone with you... Blessings
thanks for coming along!
Thanks for the videos and knowledge bless you bro and bless your family much God bring healing to our waters as well and abundance of more life amen.

Dogs love boats!!!! And today is acting as a dive buddy!! 😋 I guess "boat" is a trigger word like food or walk or ball.....heheheh That is not a dive buddy....it is a mean guard dog, very scary! No other dogs are getting on that boat heading into the canal!! Definitely make sure the Parmesan isn't poison!!!! You and Wil have given me so many recipes to try......Thanks!!!
haha she's hilarious on the boat, normally tries to jump off early. behaved this day! thanks for watching!
So cool to see you and tipsy together on the water. She definitely adds another level of cool to your already top shelf videos. Until next time brother, good luck, stay safe.🤙
love it when she comes out, been on the boat together 12 years!
