A Terrible Way To End The Perfect Day... 

If you found this video somewhere other than RU-vid please let me know where! I am getting a TON of external traffic for this video, RU-vid says from an external site. Just trying to understand where. Thank you for watching!

I love your dive shots Aaron. I am disabled now but I was a NAUI diver years ago and your fantastic videos Let me live vicariously through your photo lens. Thank you.

That is not a bad end. That is learning.

9:48 the amount of life in one shot is unreal! Nice shot, Madeleine! 👏🏻👏🏻

This coming from the armchair spearo : it looks like sometimes you’re a victim of your own perfectionism : wanting to not get the Best Shot but to go for the Perfect Shot. Being here in rainy and cold Belgium looking at that vid and you both being there in those magic spots is pure bliss, just believe me. A perfect day, really.

Probably some of the best footage ever.

Incredible footage

That was an awesome video. Thanks.

What makes that sound underwater that sounds like rocks or pebbles tumbling down a stream? If that makes sense..

absolutely love your videos, but "weeeeeelcome back underwater everybody" makes me cringe so hard every time lol

can only imagine what it would feel like to land on a harpoon facing up like that after a giant wave.. yikes

damn, i thought the terrible day was you got eaten by a shark. oh well, maybe next time.

Your grace and kindness when considering Madeline's feelings shows just how beautiful you two are together. The film footage is what brings us here. Getting to know the wonderful people you are, (including Will) is why we always come back for more.

I’m a huge fan of the brutal honesty. If we only got the successes and wins we would actually get a little bored with it. The struggle to be better is the best part of becoming great at something. Oh, and I love when the big camera comes out, those wreck shots were amazing!

Dude in my opinion, I think this might be the best film you’ve made to date. Amazing photography. Loved the silent aerial shots from the drone especially

YAY! Been a fantastic week down there in the water. Daily, I look at dive reports for Key Largo... I am just a dreamer in NC. 50, 70, 100ft of vis around molasses. Just jealous. Hi Madeline! (Sp-sorry!)

Spectacular Video Aaron. This should be in National Geographic. We enjoyed all of it. Thanks for sharing

Aaron this video was so AWESOME!!! The clarity of the water, the porpoise, the school of spawning fish, the shipwreck dive, the drone footage to REALLY show how huge the wreck is. Though you lost two fish the video was WOW, WOW, WOWSERS!!! We watched it three times!!! Keep filming, we'll keep watching!!!

You make Mondays more tolerable by releasing a video. That wreck dive was really cool. Adrenaline can certainly impact all of us. Cheers

Aaron, I love your commitment and willingness to share the good with the bad. It takes guts. We all learn so much from your experience. Thank you as always!

I watch a lot of other similar videos with various sportsman and divers of different levels of skill & experience, but your videos, especially your knowledgeable narration of underwater shots, whether you spear something special, or just enjoy nature as you obviously do, are so enjoyable, they far surpass any other videos online. It is like going to the movies, you keep us captivated with you time fishing, boating, cooking, or even feeding your cat. And your fiancee is a great straight man on your side verifying your experiences...A big thanks from another Floridian who only wishes I could be onboard with you one day!

Does your spear tip get dull? Was that part of the problem? How often do you sharpen your tips and how? How dull do you let them get?

That drone video of the fish circling her on the wreck was epic!

Incredible footage of a bluebird day. Awesome stuff, wish we had a day like that when I was in marathon last week! As an archery hunter I understand that feeling of making a less then ideal shot, eventually happens to us all. Don’t beat yourself up too much!

Hey brother, love your videos, sending you greetings from Israel. This particular video turned out to be a bit bluer than the other ones, even in relatively shallow depths, from my experience the colors of the footage can be a bit better when you play around with color temperature and tint (warm-cold, and green-pink). ✌🏻

Takes a big man to show his screw ups... But I had to laugh at that second AP doing THE EXACT SAME LAST SECOND HEAD TURN THE FIRST ONE DID! 😂 It did it so perfectly I thought it was the same AP coming back just to tease you.

Spectacular. Loved the drone shots. Rare flat day indeed. Good to see all the life on the rocks. Your living the life my friend.

I love the channel growth you’ve had here absolutely amazing, and as usual another phenomenal video

I great up in Titusville/Port St. John! We love diving in the Keys! Maybe we'll run into each other one day!

I'm from Jacksonville I could only dream of our water being this clear :(

Man, those conditions were something to behold, even over a computer screen. Thanks as always. I love your positive attitude following those less than ideal shots and the way you handled it. That is something we can all aspire towards. Also, I remember when you did your video on how you ended up owning a home in Key West, how Madeleine was the one who had the positive attitude and stated she was going to the open house even though you thought it was impossible. What I like is how you both take turns being the positive one. It's such a good lesson on how we all need to be the encouraging one at different times. Thanks for keeping it real!

Shot it in the tail...that's gotta hurt..no quick death....and you hit both fish that had wounds and probably gave a shark a good meal.

Wow, absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing these beautiful videos that the vast majority of us would never otherwise see. Nice work Aaron.

That drone shot where they swim around you ! STUNNING

Your bleeding the fish in the water! Isn't this how you attract sharks?

Let’s goo, Monday ritual

You guys are so Amazing the footage is so Beautiful I absolutely love the ocean and all the different Fish so incredible thank you so much for sharing your Videos

What a terrible way to end the day! How sad. I live in a $90k house. And I haven't been to the ocean in over 20 years. LIFE IS SO HARD ISN'T IT 😞 . Some people! Doing anything like that would change ANYONE like myselfs life. And sure as hell wouldn't post this video with that last comment. Look at it from my side.

Omg! I was so excited for you guys to jump in at the wreck! What an amazing video! There were some monsters in the aerial shots!

The two of you seem to be a long way from your boat when you surface. Is this too far?

You're still an amazing fisherman with good intentions!! Have a great day!!

Aaron my brother from another mother and The Lovely Madeleine Hi 😊👋🙌🍺🍺!!!!, beautiful episode Aaron reminded me of "the tree of life episode" and you are right my brother it was not Madeleine's fault with the pompano and you are cool for stating that, and you did your best too Aaron, lots of love and best wishes to you both, the crew, and the fur babies, YO TUNEDOGG!!!! where you at bud???, until next time stay safe, stay awesome out there everyone 😊👋🙌🍺🍺🍺

Thank you for your honesty and the breakdown of your decisions. This is the content that I come here for. Great video even if the results were not as expected. This is part of the sport and hopefully everyone learns from it. Love your videos!

That's an unfortunate way to end a great day, not a terrible way. A crystal clear day with calm, clear water, on your boat in the Keys, spearfishing with your fiancé and you get a boatload of big mangroves? Dude, anything more is gilding the lily and seriously tempting the man in the grey suit.

Wow unbelievable visibility. Loved the drone shots. Great to see Madeline spearing too. Another great Monday video

been looking forward to this since last monday

Incredible underwater/drone footage of the wreck and school of permit. It reminds me of watching Jacques Cousteau when I was younger. Funny you were talking about African Pompano. We went fishing Sunday and my friend caught an AP but it was too small. We fished for less than an hour before it got too rough fishing off of our PWC's. Bummer those 2 got off. Still looked like a great day on the water!

That's a bummer about the APs, but that footage over the wreck with the Permit is the best damn footage I have ever seen. I mean wow! That was incredible

Aaron i wish you a pleasant days .. as far as know that if you blead fishes under water it will call sharks to come .. don't do it again for your safety .

It’s just how it is sometimes. I’m an archery hunter and I know the feeling. I’ve only lost one deer in my life but I still remember it and how it made me feel.

I appreciate your honesty with the APs. Easily could have ended the video on the permit wreck and it would have appeared to be the perfect day. Respect.

Always nice when the two of you can film, she adds grace, effortlessly.

First time seeing your channel and omg, what incredible images you produce along with artistic editing skills. Definitely sub'd!

That visibility is INSANE! Lovely snapper you guys caught there, and that shoal of permit was super cool. Not jealous at all 😅😍

When I was 8 yrs old I tried spearfishing but it's not easy my friend., you are a good spearman. But now my friend I'm a spearman too and I think soon as good as you my friend. From Philippines my friend❤

Still a great day bud. Not her fault bud but still a great day and what a beautiful scene to see all those permit! Great job man don’t let that get to you guys. Yours truly “ Mickey Mouse Chanel” Jaja god bless brother

This is what puts you in the elite level my friend. Jacques Cousteau stuff brother. You got the vis and marine life hardley ever filmed in that quality. The drone stuff with the permit swirling freaking great. Congrats brother> in one drone view You captured multiple species ie big shark, cudda goliath grouper, permit and a human being (funny). I think I dove that wreak in the early 70's. In those days it was partially out of water on low tide. Loved all of it !! Made my day.😃

Those snappers got some serious teeth''

Hello from The Old Man and the German Shepherd from Ocala Florida Horse Country hello beautiful fiance hello

OMG Aaron, what a video! Amazing photography. I loved when you said "It's full blown Bahamas water". I am Bahamian too (and Peruvian) and I know what you were talking about. That crystal glass water never ceases to amaze. Too bad for the APs but "terrible" is a word that could never be used ro describe ANY part of this amazing video. Wow. More.more.more!

Oh my Gosh !!! You had me worried something "Really" Bad happened ... What an Amazing Day !!!!

Alast' back to Home waters from Belize! For comments, Can u hold your breath as long "on your couch". 45 ft water. 2plus minutes, I got to 45seconds , on my couch. Lolol. GREAT CONTENT

Great video. Awesome to look at a different POV

Aaron my man!!!!! Gteat video and content. You got some absolute blue whale sized mannies!!!! Good stuff my man. Tough break on the AP's. Tight lines fellow Floridian!!!

You said something "I Prolly Never Come back caz itll never be that Good"... Mein It be so Funny you come across some nice ass places but it Never be like the first time you saw it... Ever again... Pshhh SoakinSoakinSoakin

Great hunting! Am in the process of going full time liveaboard and shopping equipment. Appreciate your video. For me, I would be a little nervous taking fish off of a cocked spear.

So I'd like to pick your brain. Maybe you have posted this and if so send me to the video. What do you recommend for training on deep dives. Say someone is only used to diving 25-30 feet and they want to work on breath holds for 30-40 or greater. What do you recommend for breath holding exercises to further your depth?

Twenty five inches long nice size fish for sure. I enjoy Monday’s because I know you will be uploading a video makes the day much more interesting.

Epic video! And you easily could have edited out the bad but I like that you show people the reality good and bad. 🤙🏽

Awesome view on first spot, so many fish! One question, do you ever shoot fish high up in water column while chumming? We get the biggest mangs way up behind boat when chumming, really fun to watch them eat when water is clear and wind is down. 😎🌴🍹

Didnt know you were from Titusville!!! Im born and raised here in West melbourne. If Madeline ever needs a local mortgage broker Id love to help her grow her business. Love your channel and what you do! Lets link up some day!

Man that place is beautiful. It's terrible that the oceans have been polluted with mercury. Such a rich and bountiful food source poisoned permanently. It's truly sad.

What an awesome video. What a way to keep it real. Not many that are humble enough to publish the mistakes, but it real life in real time. Good show sir! Was wondering if you had any info on the wreck y'all dove on?

I never comment and make suggestions most of the time your videos are great no matter what but I do have one sort of favor to ask if you could! I love fishing I just don’t know every fish in the ocean especially key west I would love for you to Explain other fish on the dive not Just ones you harvest! Like the first few mangrove shots there were these huge black fish I would’ve loved to know what it was why it’s there also there were schools silver fish I didn’t know and yellow small ones etc like you explained the African ppmpini why they are there what they’re doing idk maybe that’s too much to go over with voice just soemtnkng I’d enjoy keep killing the game can’t wait to meet you and fish on your boat it’ll happen one day

Stop by and drop me some off too y you in titusville since we can't catch anything worth keeping out the Cesspool Indian River in Titusville anymore lol. jk cool video have fun y you in Tville.

Haha you’re such a hippie. I know ya dont want the fish to suffer or die needlessly. The first one survived for sure. The second one is hard to tell but dude. You shoot at enough fish, ya gonna miss sometimes. Not a huge deal. I kinda like that you make it a big deal. But you gotta have customers that make garbage shots all the time. Great footage. Great video. Chef’s kiss

My wife and I were catching mangroves around 7-8 pounders on a spot I found when I was younger. By accident in Tampa Bay, the hole is 10 to 15 deep and its around 30' across then drops into a another hole around 3' deeper

First and foremost, great video. Thanks for sharing. Question - size of gun/brand? Also, why bleed the fish in the water? isnt this creating an added risk more fish blood in the water for the tax man in the grey suit?

This video made my week. True beauty. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful day and clear water. You guys are awesome!

Watching some older vids. when you were spearfishing your back yard. You asked if anyone new how to get rid of flies well I live in south Louisiana and used to work at a dairy farm for a while, fiest at the dairy we had those sticky strips you get from most feed and seed stores. you hang them up then pull the ribbon out. We had literally thousands of flies stuck to them, second it seems to work around here take a gallon ziplock bag fill about half full or a little more with water use push pins to hang it a at the edge of your deck. Not sure but I think the light shining through screws with them. Good luck keep the videos coming.

That was sick dude! So good. Be honest you sorta wanted to leave Madeline out there after she grabbed the shaft! Haha kidding. She’s a rockstar, but yeah bummer..

Beautiful water! I'm not a diver but can see clearly why others love to dive.

How do you seal your masks with your beard ? I struggle with that. Any suggestions?

Regarding your comments at the end....Yep, definitely an awesome day! Absolute gorgeous water.

Maybe I missed it, but what was the depth of that wreck? Seemed like 10’ when you first pulled up, amazing shots!

This is where my husband wants to visit. Well... He got sick and now, we're watching every minute. He wanted to go to Maui and now... Growing up in Alameda CA and now in Colorado, he misses the thing he loves most and that was that ocean. How blessed we were back then... And still are.😊

Glad I got the video prompt. First time viewer, and now subscribed. Regarding your ":terrible way to end a great day" if that is as bad as it gets for you then you're in pretty good shape. Sorry you missed those two, but what a great day out on and in the water.

There's no skill to shoot a fish underwater...sure, you have to get there and have the equipment but how much skill is required?

it was like watching a soccer or hockey game yellin at the player to shoot!!!! lol i have zero depth perception from the camera, everything looks small and close enough to whack. but yet another kool video from Dibs on the bottom!! i love your diving videos i would love to go on a shallow hunt once.

Start that second channel if it will make money... find a handicapped person that might be willing to help... someone wheel chair bound...

Awesome day ! no AP’s but you’ll get them one day 😊 .. thanks for the vid ! Always enjoy them.

Seems dangerous to bleed them out while in the water due to sharks. Especially so far from the boat. Scary

Nice mangrove snappers and I hat wreck was beautiful with all the permits it wasn't a bad day when ever you out on gods great creation it's always a plus nice fish great video tks.

Can’t help but notice you guys both get in the water, even drifting 200+ ft from the boat. Is this best practice?

Amazing Viz! Wow paddling Madeline looks great spear fishing ! Giant swimming pool🤯

That kind of luck could happen to anyone you'll get em next time, and for the record it looked to me also like both shots were minor injuries to the fish they swam straight away strong good day my friend to be sure.

Great vid. What’s the name of the wreck?

No way that tearout wasn't her fault. She should have known that if you you wanted the fish then, you'd have easily went and killed it. Rookie mistake on a $50 fish.

How long can you hold your breath for? I tried and I'm like a minute tops. When you started did you just do very short drops?

kinda funny but at 16:40 when I first saw this shot I thought, Damn that's pretty deep. Then I realized that was a drone shot. Always good to be able to laugh at yourself.
