Night Diving | The lobster that only comes out at night | Catch Cook Spanish Lobster 

Love the night spanish lobster fishing.

Thank you for sharing your night dive and I would love to see more of the night dives.stay safe

I wish RU-vid was around when I was commercial fishing back in the 80's. Good Lord I have cooked so much food for friends and family. It's great seeing your videos and experiencing the setting of your household. It was about the same thing for me living in Key West. Roommate and his girlfriend and always a house guest or two from in town or outta town. We tried very hard to not shop for food for a month. It was crazy easy to get protein, eggs, chicken, fish,crab, lobster/goosters, Dove, pigeon. What we couldn't do without was oil, butter and coffee. We would comb the island and gather coconuts and other fruit and we had a nice garden we took great pride in. I have proven self sufficiently we can do it. I just needed a cow and a few other animals. You guys are awesome and I appreciate your content with the way you represent the way of a fishing family and friends. You have great skills and your not flaunting a lot of expensive stuff to show off or show boating it up with a loud AF music to get a hype. Truest videos of the keys and the way of life. Absolutely amazing and beautiful there. Lets hope it lasts forever.

You make it look easy, but anyone who knows it is work, but if you love what you are doing it isn't work.... Blessing my friend

Did a night dive and it was a blast. When I was a kid my dad would say, “don’t be afraid there’s nothing in the dark that isn’t there in the daylight”. Well that not necessarily true underwater😂🤷‍♂️ So yeah I was a little nervous but that quickly ended when all of the critters you wish you could see on day dives are out in numbers at night. Very cool!!

I didn't know about Spanish lobsters and I grew up in Florida. Not many people know about slipper lobsters but they're worth looking for.

Way to Go Aaron, great sunset, underwater footage and always come back with at least very nice diners. My RESPECTS to YOU for not shooting the Red Grouper they always so curious and friendly to humans.

Your videos are 100% improving, keep it going. Also congratulations on getting engaged.

KWWM Mondays!!!!!!

Big props for not shooting that red and being conservation/sustenance minded ✌🏻. Night dives are the bomb!

Fantastic job as usual Aaron, much enjoyed! Thank You for sharing brother!

Trying to catch up on these. I’m a logger from northern Canada I find your videos completely fascinating.

Thanks can't wait to go catch them.

Haven't seen Spanish lobsters in at least 20 years . The area around the cape florida lighthouse in Biscayne Bay used to be loaded with them. Thanks for that video capt it really took me back to those gorgeous night dives.

Awesome show on the Spanish Lobster and the night diving . Every time I watch your show I learn something new and that's why I love your show brother . Keep making them and a big shout out to you , Madilyn and Chef Will . I will be doing my first night dive soon .😃👍

Great video as always and very informative. Glad to see William back from his sailboat adventures. You guys be safe and keep up the good work, also it's about time for another commercial trip.

Cooking with Clams!!!!! Flat bill Will is the man. Great stuff. We look forward to mondays with KWW👍🏻

Found your channel about a week ago and I’ve been hooked since. Awesome videos man keep it up. I’m a big fan.

Yeah dark water= nope.. awesome content as always! Thanks

Looks like so much fun

AWESOME!

Another great video, Thanks!

I had no idea that Spanish lobster even existed. They look amazing as does the green curry! Curried seafood maybe my favorite meal ever! Thanks for the great content!

Oh.. love your channel

Thank you for the content I've learned so much as a new spearfisherman!

Nothing to say...cool as hell as usual!

The aquaman of the key hahahahhaha

Very cool night dive. Never seen a Spanish lobster but they look amazing. Thanks for the content.

😋 Yum 😋 !!!

I never knew about Spanish lobster . I guess I never saw them when diving in daytime. So cool.

Watching from Perth, Western Australia mate. Loving what you do and keeping me and the wife entertained as we catch up on all your videos!

Love night diving in freash water.......not much salt water around here.....When diving at night in my area the spear gun better not be in the boat...... Love the videos !! Keep posting em.... !!

That was fast, Will was just cookin mushroooooms

Good stuff!! I enjoy the laid back content!!

Great info thanks

Man dude every time I watch your catch and cook’s I’m always hungry thanks my brother

Night diving must be a nervy thing to do, thank you for such a great adventure.

Lately started binge watching your videos, awesome content! Couldn’t resist to suggest this for your green curry: try galangal instead of ginger, Thai basil instead of cilantro and a decent amount of green Chilis ;)

Awesome video 📹 again Aaron.

Mmmmmm damn that dinner looks good! Great video thanks 👍🏻🇺🇸😎

That curry looks awesome

"the day I can afford two of them things" Man if that isn't the truth LOL 🤣

Yessss I’ve been waiting on you to do a video like this! Hopefully one day I’ll be able to get out there in the water with you 👍

Appreciate the video!

Love your videos!

That night dive stuff looks killa! Really enjoying your channel, Aaron.

Good job!

Man that looks delicious! I've always found the Spanish lobster hanging upside down in caves during the daytime. And I agree... I think they are a little sweeter than the regular lobsters. Great video! Cheers!

Nice vid! Love the new intro as well.

Joining wills channel after seeing this

I've found diving a night more relaxing. Spanish lobsters are underrated and when it comes to different critters prowling around, very interesting. See many octopuses? I learn a ton from all your vids. Appreciated the "Never Dive Alone" vid as I have been in a similar situ...always have a float plan, too! Hope someone watching learns and doesn't repeat. Cheers!

25 years ago you could beach dive off Hollywood Beach (FL) got to first reef look for staghorn coral and find spanish, no limit either

Dang that curry looks amazing! Nice work Capt. As always keep on keeping on 😉

The intro is great… good work!

Cool video!

Like the intro a lot👍👍. Cool adventure! Pura Vida😎🌴🍹

Aaron, this old boy from central Illinois had no idea that the Spanish Lobster even existed, thanks for the education ! Great seeing you n Madeline n friends having FUN !

wow how informative didn't even know about a Spanish lobster,great video!

Nice job on the intro! Thanks for sharing!

Lobsterhead Cheesecake ftw

Great vids 😋

Night diving would freak me out. Great video.

Never knew about the Spanish lobster, I’ll have to try it next time. Thanks

You guys are fierce! 🤪 Wouldnt dare to do that myself! 😂 love the videos!

Awesome video. I need to start diving.

Looks delish! Thank you for showing the difference I’ve never heard of a Spanish lobster until now. I 💕 love lobster I’m pretty much allergic to all seafood at this point but for Maine lobster. Fresh flounder or Maryland Jumbo Lump crab meat i pop my Benadryl and a beer and hope for the best

Awesome video bro 🙌

I didn't know about Spanish lobster until this year and I've gone to the keys every year for 15 years now, I actually saw my first ones in August under the Vaca cut bridge at night

I really enjoy the whole experience of your videos and if it helps your endeavors for me to post and like them I’m happy to be counted as a fan of your passion. I will be praying for you all. Shalom!

You will fit in well here in New Zealand. Same activities we do here.

Cool Beans

Congrats on your engagement Aaron! Although I know I’m late since it was your last video.

U the man !!

In Jamaica we call them chicken lobsters, I don’t think there is a size limit or bag limit from what I’ve seen in FWC’s website, but obviously don’t take more than you need!

thats so cool man, similar to our slipper lobsters, they're like a smaller version of our eastern rock lobster, and tasty as!!! man i would love to try spanish lobster...looks great

Man, I’ve never even heard of a SpanishLobster. That’s probably one of my favorite videos you’ve done. Does the meat taste like a rock shrimp?… Can you catch the other shrimp that come out at night? Awesome Aaron keep it up man!!!

When I live in marathon we had some really good spanish spots. They are definitely better than a spiny in my opinion also.

Love night diving. Mostly on shipwrecks in Great Lakes. Did a night snorkel years ago in Hawaii. Saw incredible creatures. Ended when a Mako came by. Scared the living Hell outta me. The Spanish Dancer , amazing Ruby Red color, eels & octopus were cool as could be.

That looks good

good job Ive caught a few too

Them there spanish lobsters look like they'd make deadly baits for cubera and groupers. Especially at night also. That'd make a good video too, I reckon

The knives sticking through the bait board with unprotected edge are a real hazard to guests onboard a boat. You know not to stick your hand under the cutting board but they may not. There are ways of having the knife accessible but the open blade sheathed.

Used to hate Mondays.....not anymore!

In all the dives I've made on the bay and ocean side of Marathon I've only seen the Shovelnose.....But I've never done any night dives!!

used to catch the super small spanish lobster just for my 150 gal display tank. had a spot next to a boat ramp in Marathon of all places....less than 5'!!

I’ve always wanted to night dive

We've seen them in the Keys, but never really messed with them. Guess we are going to have to give them a try.

Nice video captain! 90% of marine life show's at night. I was going to the keys to meet you but got covid and now quarantine 😡 Keep up the good work 😊😊😊🤙🤙🤙🤙🤿🤿🤿🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈

Cool

That's kind of lobster in the Virgin Islands we call it spotted Lobster it's nice it tastes just like regular Lobster spiny Lobster awesome video

It’d be a little sketchy to dive at night, therefore I’ll leave it to you, and just watch your videos!

Great vid. Curried lobster looks amazing. Me and a few friends used to night dive in Maine. It was other worldly. One of our rituals was to get to the bottom and turn off the lights. Experience the total blackness, then wave our hands furiously to activate the plankton and create a firefly show. 2 ??s... Do you ever spearfish at night and are sharks a concern after dark?

I know all too well about forgetting something. 2 left hand gloves was my most recent blooper!😆

I'm hangry now, just watching this video... In the late 70s I used to scuba dive at night in Angra do Reis bay, Brazil, we caught a lot of scallops and spiny lobsters. A wonderful time!! Remember to have the hair cut and beard shaved for the ceremony!!

I have a place in Marathon and have seen a small lobster that looked like those , just thought it was a juvenile Spiney ,, learned something today thanks ,

Cool intro

We used to do a lot of night dives for bass mainly,in Wales,UK…but they banned it last year,for some bizarre reason?!?…they actually followed an EU edict…even though we had left the EU by then…super sustainable as virtually NOBODY is doing it ! BAH !

👍👍

Have you ever targeted Slipper Lobster? A bit harder to find/see, but I remember my friend finding one in the keys about 2 years ago. Heard they have a sweeter taste as well but are really rare. Keep up the good work and Congrats on your engagement!

Sick vid as always Capt!! Hey, how them Mercurys treating you?? Have always loved my 2 stroke Mercs... thinking bout going to the 4 stroke Black Beauties!! 🏴‍☠️🍻🤙
