Hi Aaron, I haven't seen too many people comment on this, but I wanted to say thank you for giving an old girl like Tipsy a great dog life in her golden years as she gets a little older and slows down a little bit. It's great to see her so active and excited in all your videos. I'm sure you love her very much, and I'm sure she feels the same about you =)
she's been my ride or die for almost 13 years! brought her home when she was 6 weeks old. knows her way around a boat better than most people I know, haha! wild to look back and think of all the adventures we've been through, I'd like to think she's lived a good life!
Arron, you and Madeline are the best thing I've seen on RU-vid. As a lifelong Floridian, a diver of over forty years, I've heard a lot of bullshit in my day. Y'all are the real deal, it doesn't happen near enough but good people need to hear that they are wanted and loved every now and then. You have a lifelong fan here in Sarasota, peace my friend!
To be honest, I'm surprised that you responded to all the comments and questions this long. You are living the life many of us dream of. Keep up the great work Aaron!
I've lived like this in Florida for over 55 years. It goes by fast. I was born here, 1958. I got my first boat when I was five. Ya better enjoy what you have there. It's a great life.
You got into the Keys at the right time. Its changed so much since the 90s. Especially middle Keys. Like everywhere developers are cashing in. In any event, Tipsy enjoying the adventure is great.
i grew up in old key west prior to 1978. watching your channel brings back many memories and enjoyment. stay healthy and keep doing what you are doing. And thank you. P.S. do not reply to this comment. Just smile and know you are appreciated
The life I want to live. Every time I visit the beach I can feel that it’s the place I want to live out my days. I aspire to one day do what you do, happy 10 year anniversary! No response needed
Most youtubers never reply especially with a channel of your size so don't worry about it! I appreciate the times that you have responded to my comments and am always looking forward to when you post. Have a good one!
You should be very proud of yourself, Aaron. Very few people make the decision to find a vocation that they love doing and stick with it through the lean times. Most just give up. You followed your dream, worked out the " bugs" and now you're seeing the fruits of your labor. Love your videos. Keep up the good work. 😊❤
Aaron as long as you keep bringing all these great videos to us, there is no reason for you to have to reply to everyone. Your craft speaks for itself, i look forward to your content every Monday and am totaly thrilled when you throw a bonus one in. Keep up the great videos and God bless.
I found your channel about 3 weeks ago, I'm not sure how it took me this long. Great content, I'm working my way through all your videos. You really are living the dream, good on you for the hard work and dedication to see it through!!!
I don't know who in their right mind would want any other english muffin other than Bay's. The crispy texture when grilled or toasted is sublime. One of the great products in the grocery store.
Hell yeah dude! As John Irving said, “If you’re lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.” That’s what we’re here for. Scary as hell but no other way. 🎉
Dude, kudos to the life you have chosen to take. Love that you have been doing this for 10 years. With 90% blind dog we have struggled with the places we can visit (in retirement) we really appreciate all the detail you provide in your videos.
The recipe I followed for Hollandaise sauce you cooked it using a double boiler stirring constantly to keep the eggs from scrambling. That also thickens it.
Aaron love your videos great to watch real people instead of all the craziness on RU-vid. God bless you from the Bodner family in Jacksonville Florida.
Often times you may hear a person say," He's got it made" with a little tone of jealousy. I will never say those words because people never know the whole story or how hard a person has had to work to get to where they are. So, what I will say is this. I am so proud for you and what you have accomplished. I can't think of another person who deserves your rewards more than you. A friend told me years ago, " God knows what he can trust you with". LOL I was actually typing this when you began to speak of the difficulties you have encountered over the years. No reply needed; I couldn't imagine the amount of time you have to spend doing that.

A shout from Merritt Island my dude. Just another Dibs Disciple out here wanting to let you know how much your subscribers appreciate the content and the effort. The escape to a different way of life is always one of my favorite parts of any week. 🤙🏻
You Need to use a double boiler and warm and thickn up that sauce. And put a lil vinegar in that water for your eggs. And some finely chopped chives as top garnish.
First time viewer on your channel. pretty awesome to see someone take a chance and chase after their dream and even better to see them succeed and live the dream they wanted. good for you dude!!
Beautiful Sunday morning - beautiful people. Happy 10-year anniversary and many more years of this! Don’t worry about responding to comments - live the life man!
Absolutely love yall & the channel !! As always, thank you for bringing us along for the ride and appreciate the responses that you have made ! Hope to see yall in the future on a booked trip !!!
Congrats on the 10 year! I appreciate all the effort you put into the videos and just sharing your life, skill, and the beautiful place you call home. You keep making videos, I'll keep watching!
Aaron, I lived in KW at 1619 Atlantic Blvd. many years ago, wish I could afford to live there now. I think the boat you are using is the same I used to have. It was made in Brevard county. A Ganoe maybe? Mine was 17 ft long, with a 9.9 horse outboard . That hull was awesome, no matter how hard you tried to turn it, it just dug in.
Congratulaltions man! You inspire a lot of us to reach for our dreams and also offer a great escape from the daily grind. Really appreciate all you do.
It’s great to see people being humble, and just happy with the little they have it shows that you don’t need much to be happy. A simple house with a creek in the back and looks what a happy man. Congratulations to you.
I know it's a heck of a lot work to do what you do, and you probably have your share of difficult people to deal with in the business you created, but most of us looking at the images you captured in this video and all of your other videos see paradise.
Hey, you're a freash water conch now ! I moved to Key West in 1985. Stayed till 1990. Some of the best years of my life. I had conch take me to a spot, maybe behind little torch. We shot across the back country in and old tri-hull. Nelson took us to this lagoon or ravin. It was maybe 10 ft deep and 150 feet long . A deep channel with a fast current. We used a rope to return to the boat each time. Had our boat limit in 30 minutes. I miss the keys.
Congratulations on your success Aaron! You have worked hard and you deserve everything you have! Love the channel, and always look forward to Monday evening when I get home to enjoy your videos. Also love seeing Tipsy on the boat!
Truly one of my favorites youtubers. You coming from central FL and me being in the Space Coast gives must such motivation seeing the success you have been able to make for yourself. Congrats on 10 Years an to many more!
Great realization of where you are and your perseverance put you there, Dibbs you have arrived and it will only get better as you move forward with your killer vids. Best of luck to you and momma livin the dream, keep up the great content and your narration is on key!
Congrats on 10 years I'm kinda recent to your channel..maybe a year, I throughly enjoy your content and the calmness your videos offer me! I'm always excited to get my notifications you have released something new.😊 long story short I like your chill personality
wow! You two are just such a great couple! You worked your butt off to get where you are, I'm sure, but you are living the life everybody wants but are too cautious to give it a try! Live it up!
Stumbled across this video & channel 30 minutes ago. Love the Keys & Key West. I'm from Charleston, but lived in St.Pete & Sarasota for a while 25 years ago and spent time in Miami & Key West. Nice video. Aaron, never EVER apologize. You are NOT preaching. You're sharing and giving great advice to a lost generation. Life is not easy. Never was, never will be. You were successful because you did what every successful person does. You had a vision, a dream, and the hardest step is step one. Going for it. As the old saying goes, shit or get of the pot or more appropriately here, fish or cut bait. A goal or objective is a dream with a plan. Step one is going for it. Fear is the biggest hurdle. Fear of failure. But you can't live life standing on the sidelines. You gotta get in the game. But you have to truly commit. Can't do it half assed. You committed. And you put in the work. Nothing worth having comes easy and if it did you wouldn't and couldn't appreciate it because it was given to you. These are the things people today don't get. There is opportunity everywhere, but you gotta want it and you gotta work for it. Earn it. Go out and take it, make it happen. You did that and it's inspirational. Patience. Perseverance. Hard work. These are the keys to success. Success. True sustainable success is hard work. Even in relationships. My parents will celebrate 60 years of marriage this November. That didn't come without a lot of hard work. Congratulations on your happiness, success, and relationship. You had a dream and YOU made it happen. Preach on! You earned the right. So never apologize. No one ever benefitted being told what they want to hear. If you love someone or care about someone you tell them what they NEED to hear! Subscribed.
It’s truly a pleasure to see you speak on how dreams became a reality and opens the eyes of someone else who once thought a lofty goal was something that could never be achieve. Keep doing what you do and don’t change it 🤙🏼🤙🏼
I was always so impressed (and surprised) when you answered my comments! Please don't feel you need to anymore! Love the videos, it's been so good to watch the Chanel grow. Keep up the good work!
Hey brother, don't even worry about the comment's. You did great for a long while, you get to get on with your own stuff. If people get butt hurt they'll get over it. Enjoy your new free time, you deserve it. Keep on keepin on...
Thank you for the great videos and showing us that it’s the simplest things in life that matter most. Living your passion and spending time with the ones who matter most. 🇺🇸
Thank you for the upload your dog is so sweet I commend how much you look after her. I'm a Floridian and love the Florida Keys. Great catch ! Awesome breakfast you two outdid yourselves kudos !
I've always been impressed by how well you kept up with responding to all your fans. There comes a time where realizing you have been successful, have arrived and you need to learn to chill, enjoy life and what you planned to achieve. Get back to us when you have the time and desire. Appreciate you and your efforts prove success. And Madeleine, although, much more comfortable in front of the camera ... is just so freakin CUTE! She'll keep you young for decades!
Really appreciate the effort on the B roll shots ( boat passing by , etc ) , we know its a pain but it sure ups the production quality and immersive experience .
I vicariously live through these videos. I gave up my Caribbean living a year ago. After 5 years in, you were always one medical emergency away from being totally bankrupt so now I'm mainland again starting a hikers life. I do miss living that life. Who knows, maybe I'll go back to the V.I. someday. Go back to barge working and marine mechanical.... keep posting buddy.
Congratulations on livin the dream and making a living doing it. It’s what we all dream of. So happy for you. No worries about responding. Always nice but good to hear you’re getting overwhelmed with comments. That’s a good thing. Thanks as always. Love your channel.
I never expected you to reply to all the comments in the first place. It was great, but not necessary. Legitimate questions, sure. You have great videos and I and others will continue to watch and promote them. We can't expect you to respond to every comment. Keep up the great work!
Hi Aaron, I stumbled to the video of you not being in the mood to talk/narrate the dive where you ended up diving 4 times for the big fish stuck in the cave and ended up watching this one. Like other people have mentioned in the comments, I’m very new to spearfishing but I’m pretty familiar with the bs other RU-vidrs say/do/hide in their videos so THANK YOU for not being like them. I normally don’t comment or post anything unless it’s truly worthwhile and your videos definitely are my brother. P.s. I should be getting ready for tomorrow as it is the first day of school here in NYC and I am a PE teacher but next time I go spearfishing (next spring break) I’ll definitely be thinking about your tips. Hopefully one day I can do half the things you are achieving. I know you don’t have time to respond to this comment but I hope you can see it and know that you’ve inspired me.
Great vid Aaron, I’m glad I been following you from the beginning when you could answer all my questions!! 😅😅… PS: I keep having fun with both of your custom spearguns !! Blessings
You seem like a great guy man! It’s really cool to see someone reach their goals and share it with others a lot of people don’t understand anything can be done in this life you just need to be persistent and stay on the correct path!
KWW: Long time subscriber. I do not know you but I, as many care about you. When I see you dive (tank/no tank) alone (I've commented about this before), it stresses me. You know better than most that S*** can and does happen. Please be safe KWW! Love the dog!
I totally understand and appreciate the concern. I try not to spend time in the water alone as I’ve seen too many accident happen. But being in the shallows doesn’t concern me nearly as much. I don’t mind doing less than 10 ft alone as i consider it more swimming/snorkeling than anything. No long breath holds. Have way too much to live for. 🙏🏻
So good! Man, I love that you took time to tell us the bottom stories. The photography, experience and reality we enjoy here are amazing. So, I always liked the fact that you know when to stop talking and let the content speaks freely. Thanks for the really cool vid. Big kiss Tipsy + Pad Mad!
Congratulations on your 10th, Aaron! I want to thank you for inspiring me to come down there to do some Florida keys fishing. I stayed at Marathon for a week and it was a blast. I’m definitely coming back to visit next year! Keep up the great work, Sir! Salute 🤙🏼
Congrats on seeing your dream, working hard, and achieving it. Not many have the will and fortitude to keep going when times get rough and just quit. Something to the old saying " Winners never quit and quitters never win ". Keep the great vids coming and congrats again on your 10 years.
