Sword-fishing Explained | Middle Aged Man and The Sea | Catch Clean Cook 

Aaron, your videos are so educational which is what im looking for when watching fishing vids. Also, love your respect for the animal and gratitude for the harvest!

I know I’m always commenting. But 100% my favorite channel on RU-vid. Love the lack of music and the videos are always jam packed with education. Working my ass off to get a big enough boat that I can do similar things from. May be years but I’ll get there! Nothing better than being completely alone on the ocean and catching big fish.

They way this guy thanks the fish for his sacrifice talks a lot about a real fisherman!!!

Yup....I get being alone....for me it' gardening, mushrooming, foraging, trout fishing, and my favorite ruffed grouse hunting......

Brother there is so much to know about catching a sword fish that most people never would think about and then doing by yourself. Great video

Solo is why we own a boat. Love it.

I'll never forget my 1st time ever catching a fish offshore I went on a 36 hour tuna trip out of Manasquan New Jersey on a head boat 120miles to the Hudson canyon. It was a 8 hour ride to get there when we got there we spent the 1st 2 hours fishing for mahi which I got my limit of 15. Then as the sun started setting they set up for tuna And there was just nothing around so around 3 Am i decided to rig up my shimano 50w For swordfish. Dropped my bait down about 400' And Put my rod in the rod holder with the drag almost set to minimum with the clicker on And about 25 minutes later my reel started screaming. Fought the fish for about an hour and a 1/2 And landed a 300 pound beast. Was definitely one of the best experiences in my life ever. since then I've been going on 3 to 4 offshore trips every season.

“My solitude”….love it.

Dude...your videos are so educational and so entertaining. Really loving the more raw/un-edited style as compared to similar channels.

Aron * I have a funny story for you. Back in 1967-68 mom bought swordfish from the supermarket. Brought it right home and cooked it in the oven. Put it on the table we all took some. It honestly didn’t smell bad but none of us could eat it. So we we gave it to the cat. The cat took one sniff . He turned and looked at us squealed like a pig hung to be slaughtered ran to the front door. So we let him out. He came back less than an hour hour later. He came in and dropped a giant mouse in his bowl. This is a true story. The story was funny enough when he turned his nose up at the fish. But when he brought in his own dinner. I hope you liked this story.

I REALLY liked this one, you spent extra time on the educational aspect. How to rig, type of bait, current, depth. Im sure it's all basic for you but I really appreciate all the little details. Would love to see more of the educational stuff on spear gun fishing, ( set up, floats, etc.). LOVE THE SHOW

Paying homage to the old man and the sea

An older video , but great interest and educational for me , this is the first time the whole rig has been explained , usually it's already rigged and dropped . Thank you Aaron , another great video.

Forgot it was Monday until I saw this upload lol. GREAT stuff as always. You are making your dream a reality.

Much more modern than my big old Kristal reel. Another great video..

KWWM Mondays!!!!! 👍👍

Aaron as your subscriber really enjoy the relax and informal how tos overviews you do. They are simple to follow and w/o fluff! Thx.

While I'm Watching Your videos... I can tell you are a well studied person. Thanks for the share.

4:15 Nessie is looking to get about tree fiddy. 6:52 Where my tree fiddy?

"I'd rather be lucky than good any day"! Love it.. I'm taking that to my grave...thanks!! 😂

flexing the fish and skinning it at the docks i see, real OG move

Your reverence for the animal is commendable. Also he looks delicious.

Here for the algorithm. Awesome video! Also it looks like subscribers are going up - well deserved.

Love the respect you show these animals 👍🏼. Wise soul

Awesome dude! That takes some serious skill to go out there, setup, catch, AND LAND a keeper sword. Mad respect to ya

Hey Aaron. I’ve never been on a boat. So watching you out there is very exciting. That recipe looks really good. I just think Madeleine is a doll. ( I’m sorry if I spelled her name wrong) she is so pretty. I’m really happy y’all are getting married. I met my husband and we got married two weeks later. Next month will be 31 years. I love your channel and think your a great young man. I love y’all bunches ❤️❤️ Kim

I love the videos, love the knowledge and information and you took it to the next level with The Office playing in the background.

23:20 That looks pretty gooood - yes, and the fish ain't bad either.... :)

Super duper cool captain! The fish slaughter did it agan! Thanks for taking your time and explain the process 😊😊👍👍🤙🤙🤙 but true hard to do it with 1 person but that's when experience is your helper. Keep up the good work! Great video!

My first time to see a swordfish video. Very informative. Thanks. Great vid.

Score ! I like to Feesh too! So I get it! And Madeline's Paddle Board Tours Instantly Booked up! Lol

Awesome video! Loved to see beginning to end swordfish instructions with the kicker of catching one.

Epic video so natural lots of learning for myself thank you Capt.

Nice work!! Love the enthusiasm in this one!!

Great video. Thanks for filming this adventure.

Another great video! Thanks for taking us along…… it’s my mental getaway from northern MN!

Love this instructional type video. Great job!

Well done bro again 😁, I’m glad I ran cross your channel on here, I enjoy it, thank you for everything you do on here.

Been watching your videos for a couple weeks now and immediately subscribed! Awesome realism coming from you. I truly like the way you break everything down. Thanks and keep the videos coming.

Thanks like how u give the info as u go keep up the good work 👍🏼

Aarón, awesome content. Thank you for the info on swordfish fishing.

Excellent Video. Thank you!

Just stumbled upon your channel. It's refreshing to see no click bait and just honest fishing videos for once.

Well done, Sir! Enjoy your videos.

Congratulations on your engagement ❤️ super happy for you

Great video Aaron

Love the content!

Beautiful solo catch brother. Share the love next time... Love it

Been watching for a long time now and I feel like this is one of the best Florida you tube fishing guys out here. Hopefully this channel blows up so he can make some extra money

haha im exactly the same, the serenity by yourself its unexplainable, plus i can fish a whole heap of different ways and not have to worry about others lol!! you and nick stanz hands down the best. cant wait to come over and meet you and have a fish as well!

Favorite fishing channel

Awesome content with the way you show us the set up and all the gear used

Aaron … thx for sharing! I understand the solo trips from a R&R /spiritual connection w/Mthr Nature! Yes pay attention to your intuition it works caught my biggest fish(s) solo listening to inner self - good feeling inside. Thx!

Great video.👍

You need to read some of Hemingway's accounts of some of the giant marlin they used to catch.....

Great vid as always. Ill have to try that recipe it looks amazing !

I really enjoy your videos I’m not a fisherman by any means but I respect what you do. I spent a month on Key West once back in 2000. I loved it want to return to live but finding a reasonable rent is difficult.

Awesome video mate

old man and the sea, gotta read that book again, love the vid bro

Awesome video 👍

Solid video Aaron and congrats on great Solo Sword. I am very appreciative of how educational you are on your video and respect to the elements too. I learned of how the sword bite works from you and about letting the fish swim the weight up. Thank you for my last 2 swords :) we caught of Miami :)

Thanks Waterman! That was awesome...catching a Sword is on my bucket list. Thanks for the reminder why!

What a beauty!

Great video…..thank you! I also love fishing solo…..perhaps not the wisest thing offshore but it’s my mental health time as well. Sometimes it’s hard to take it all in when your with other folk. Stay safe amigo…..fair winds and following seas😎

Dang dude you’re a lucky man what a lifestyle. I know what you mean about fishing by yourself lots of serenity out there Hope you had as much fun catching him as I did watching talk to you soon my new friend

One word bruh…..NICE!!!

Great video and I'm assuming a reference to a great book! Hemingway would definitely approve!!!

Well done Captain.

I learn so much

Excelente!

Awesome 👌 The girlfriend and I love your videos! Just wanted to say good job from us up in Victoria BC Canada 🇨🇦 🤘 Keep em comin eh!

Another great day on the water! It must be such a great feeling being able to disconnect out there all alone. Seeing those dolphins 🐬 would’ve made the trip for me! Fish looked delicious 😋

if you are middle aged then I must be older than I thought. thank you for all you do to put out these videos.stay safe

We call that recipe "Heavenly Halibut" on the west coast. Would work with most nice firm fish.

Crystal hot sauce all the way. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Another great video

Dude, this is a great channel.

Love the solo days to reset the head 😃. one of your best vids to date even with out spearing fish very well explained awesome day out keep it real and congratulations

I understand the Solo thing!!

That was awesome man..thank you for taking the time like you do on explaining the process. It is greatly appreciated

You should do a series where you pick one recipe out of the book each week

As usual, thank you for the great video.! Swordfish is my next target. Today I had an incredible day fishing. Snowy, wahoo, three limits of large red porgies and two of vermillions and a golden tile fish not to mention a large sailfish released. Next on my bucket list Swordfish.. I rigged the Mahi bellies the way you do and I like it. Thank you for sharing your experience. I learn something new from any of them. Tight lines Aaron..!!

Haven't even watched the video yet. But bravo brother bravo 👏

Cudos for doing that solo! Be just your luck to get that grander when you’re by yourself. As for a recipe, one of my favorite is swordfish Oscar. Enjoy!

Wow, was watching your fishing trip on the computer and felt like I owe you for the trip,lol. Awesome video 📹 Sir. Cheri cooks a slab of grouper or tile fish 🐟 with the same ingredients, but puts it all together and covers it in aluminum foil then the last 10 to 15 minutes puts it on broil to put a little crunch on the top. Either way is perfect in my book 📖 👌

Awesome man! Should be back up at 2nd light starting Wednesday…. Waves are gonna be firing🤙🏼🏄

Intense man good shit

The eyes are huge in that fish 🐟

KILLER video! Can't wait to set my charter date. The experience of doing it will be worth it fish or not. Thanks again!

Alright, thanks for the video. I saw a swordfish before.

Cheese and fish....interesting!🤔🤔 Your like a charter captain i know he like to do alot of solo runs as well.

If you had autopilot on your boat it would be a lot easier to hold that heading when setting out your line. I got it on my boat and it sure does make thing a lot less stressful when operating solo. I totally get what you mean on it being therapy.

Respect…. :) as real as it gets…

You do know It taste better when I'm there to help eat. LOL Good video my friend I've yet to meet..

The recipe sounds really good, and likely good on other than sword steaks. Nice Catch all by your lonesome.

You can use that recipe on kingfish as well. 👍🏼

Good job solo

42 with trips, gettum bro. Pumpkins! Lucky beast!

Next time try putting a few drops of Zatarain’s Crab Boil in your butter mixture. You will thank me.

5:55 you made sense the first time...
