How about video on cooking the lobster and fish?

J Doboy - 6 years ago

Nice Vid,,,, Love the added explanations,,,, specially when you tell us what other species are GOOD TO EAT, or NOT! WAY better than just music! ;>)
& under 200yds off shore??? that's awesome.
I snorkeled fresh water my whole life & would LOVE to give some 'salt' reefs a try.
(Maybe you guys could start a snorkeling guide service,,,,, do it OFF season, so you don't deplete the 'numbers' in a certain area? )
So here's what I need-to-know!
How long can you stay under,,, how deep do you usually need to go for keeper lobsters? Can you 'reach' proper depths when walking in, off the shore,,, or do you NEED a boat to be successful? See any FLOUNDER?
About How old is a keeper lobster?
Also, You could show 'Mom' measuring,,,, and cleaning, so we know how.

Just wondering,,, Are you allowed to drop anchor in a reef complex??? & WHY no sharks? I vacation NC OBX & there's sharks everywhere!

lol,,,,,, Ya, I know,,, that's a LOT of questions, but what your doing is so cool, I'll just have to give it a try!
THANKS!

Brook Crist - 6 years ago

You can reach the Reef by swimming from shore. No idea about the lobsters age lol. You can catch lobster in like 3ft in the Florida keys. But around here you won't find them shallower than 12 feet.

No guided trips now, maybe one day in the future

Thank you for enjoying!'

willy mueller - 6 years ago

Nice video, it must be beautiful, to be able to dive with your parents.

willy mueller - 6 years ago

Hi Brooke, yes, I guess so. If I could have done this with my parents, I would have been in 7th heaven.
By the way, could I ask you to do me a favor ? To check out, if my boat is still there ? Sounds a bit strange, but I had to leave it, due to an operation, I am much older than your dad, so dont worry, and the boat is in Palm Beach, not too far away from you. I dont know anybody else. My email is hrsvictory@yahoo.es, I am in Spain at the moment. If you agree, I ll tell you the whole story and the position of the boat. Its a beauty. Thanks.

+Elizabeth James the deepest is about 25

Marben Galaban - 7 years ago

Yummy lobster♡♡

LittleShaun Hughes - 7 years ago

Mabey it's because I grew up and live in the country (also lived in a city). I very much enjoy the natural (music) sounds of the environment. To me it is annoying to hear man made music when I crave the natural sounds and wonder, how many other's feel the same way? Otherwise, I enjoyed this.

LittleShaun Hughes - 7 years ago

Noted. Didn't mean to sound picky though if it came off as such. I can't even swim so my experience underwater is sadly quite limited. Scuba diving interests me, but is something that can never be.

Brook Crist - 7 years ago

if you've ever listened to a go pro underwater being bumped around you'd think otherwise lol. when u bump the case it like magnifies the noise and its pretty bad

Mr. T - 7 years ago

I think I just learned stuff. Cool !!

Chris Campbell - 7 years ago

just a point of safety, you should take the snorkel out of your mouth when diving, it will make equalizing easier and is a safety issue if you black out as it makes a funnel for water to enter your lungs, and on that point it seems like you're not allowing for much recovery time on the surface which could cause a shallow water blackout, as a rule of thumb you should spend twice the time on the surface as underwater, if you do this and spend more time relaxing your down time will be much longer.

Monkey Angkor - 7 years ago

Awesome

Duck Landes - 7 years ago

Before the mid 1900's American lobster wasn't considered good eating and was used mostly for fertilizer, though was sometimes fed to prison inmates.

Brook Crist - 7 years ago

+Duck Landes yes that's exactly right. Seems crazy now doesn't it?

david lee - 7 years ago

How deep to you sink and how long you have to hold your breath? Good video !

david lee - 7 years ago

Do you guide ?

Brook Crist - 7 years ago

usually can catch them within a minute or a little more

david lee - 7 years ago

And you can catch these lobsters within one minute? Amazing! Or you breathe through a tube with air supply?

Brook Crist - 7 years ago

+david lee I can hold my breath up to about a minute. And the deepest spot this day was about 25 feet

Crappie Craze - 7 years ago

Not quite sure how I found your fishing video where you caught the gator, but I sure am glad I did. My wife and I have watched a few of your vids now (really enjoying them) and had to subscribe.

Brook .... very slick videos, and your voice-over commentary gives them a professional quality most other videos don't have. When you do voice-overs, you have time to write out or think about what you want to say, and it makes for a much smoother voice track. Keep up the great work, you've got a terrific track record so far.

stefano giovannini - 7 years ago

PS do you eat those sea urchins? Love sea urchins but you only eat some species, and basically you eat the eggs / roe.

stefano giovannini - 7 years ago

PPS - Not sure which urchins may be palatable in FL, you basically eat what I believe is the roe / eggs.

stefano giovannini - 7 years ago

PS there is another video from California "Sea Urchins Are California Gold: Hunter Gatherer " I love them. I live in NYC and sometimes they have sea urchin sushi in some Japanese restaurants (uni). But fresh from the sea urchin itself is so much better. You can eat them with nothing added. Or on pasta with olive oil, pepper, hot pepper garlic. In Italian cuisine you do not mix milk products with seafood. No parmesan or butter on pasta with seafood, just some ground fresh pepper and EV olive oil, in case

stefano giovannini - 7 years ago

there is this video on YT that shows you: black urchin no good / brown red. Title is in Italian but content is self explanatory just search this vid "Il mare in cucina: Linguine ai ricci di mare " by
darioeolie
( ricci di mare means sea urchins )

Brook Crist - 7 years ago

+Chase Landress thank you!

stefano giovannini - 7 years ago

Impressive skills. How far is the reef from shore? I feel fishing with scuba tanks is a bit unfair. Is the lobster population healthy or do you notice a decline? Do you cut the spines of the lionfish with scissors in the water?

stefano giovannini - 7 years ago

Do you need a permit for spearfishing? can you swim from the beach? I was in Miami Beach years ago and enjoyed. Would like to take some photos of reef and some sharks. Maybe Ft Lauderdale has cheaper accommodation than Miami Beach and more flights. In NYC it is an headache. visibility is not as good when it is good, and swimming without lifeguards is not allowed, fins / snorkels not allowed on NYC beaches.

Brook Crist - 7 years ago

+stefano giovannini probably between 50-200 yards. It's hard to say about to population. There's definitely more people who participate in lobstering. We don't cut off the spines but it's a good idea

ihr greifst einfach nach den Hummern egal ob sie einen Laich haben oder nicht das ist nicht Richtig den dann habt ihr bald keine Hummer mehr und das Ökosystem ist nicht mehr im Takt ohne Hummer. Erst sehen ob der Hummer einen Laich hat oder ob er noch zu klein ist um Verzehrt zu werden. so wie dein Vater der auch Brutal über die Schönen Kreaturen sich hermacht,du bist ja noch ein Kind und weist es Vielleicht nicht aber bevor man im Meer Wildert sollte man die Regeln beachten.Ihr seid Brutal zur Natur dafür solltet ihr in den Knast wenn es nach mir ginge.

jay pride - 7 years ago

Nice video. In the beginning of the video you talked about how the lobster makes a sound to fend off predators? One thing about that sound here in Hawaii is.... When it makes that sound it attracts sharks. Whenever we go diving as soon as a lobster makes that sound, withing 2 minutes we will be surrounded by white tip sharks and black tip sharks. Just wanted to share that with you. Not sure about other places but for some reason that happens here in Hawaii.

jay pride - 7 years ago

Michael Roth - 7 years ago

Definitely liked the narration better than just music. Also, with those Lion Fish, if I remember right, the poison is rather specific in that the hospital needs to know how to handle "Lion Fish" poison specifically or it can cause problems. I had heard this from an aquarium keeper who was stung and ran into problems because they didn't treat him properly right away.

Brook Crist - 7 years ago

+Michael Roth I believe it affects different people differently. I was with someone who bumped into one with his hand. We rushed him to the hospital just in case, his had swelled up about 3 times the normal size. But there was nothing they could do for him. If your allergic to the poison I believe it could be deathly. But you know that's the same with anything people are allergic to. But the swelling in my friends hand went down after about a day.

kamurray67 - 7 years ago

Great videography. Loved the voice over since it was full of useful information. Not being an ocean beach person I learned a lot. Would love to know about the fresh water overlay. Also good to see your parents out for the day with you. Cherish those days they won't be around for ever. All the best!

Brook Crist - 7 years ago

+kamurray67 glad you enjoyed and learned something! Here's a simple explanation of the freshwater. Not a scientific answer by any means lol... During the "rainy season" they open the locks (aka like flood gates) from the Everglades and lake Okeechobee in Florida to prevent flooding. And all that water flows down our canal systems and eventually reaches the ocean. The freshwater can kill both the reef and some fish.

Tony Leon Guerrero - 7 years ago

Hi Brook,

Good one Brook, nice underwater shots and I do enjoy learning about the wildlife as I just moved to Florida. You have a real flair for nature and hunting and fishing. I think you could have a real chance at being Florida's version of the "crocodile hunter".

hui chen - 7 years ago

is there a limit to how many you allowed to keep per day? I want to move to Fort Lauderdale, how are the school systems there?

Brook Crist - 7 years ago

+hui chen 6 per person. I went to school in ft Lauderdale from pre k to 12th grade, I loved it!

D H - 7 years ago

Great video. Question/thought: my understanding is you can have six lobster per person but they have to be harvested by each person. It's not based on licensed people on the boat. In your situation your mother would've had to dive down and harvest her own in order for you guys to have a total of 18 lobster... Correct?

D H - 7 years ago

Brook Crist thanks for the reply! I know you guys are always by the book. Your videos are the best and you are the real deal!

Brook Crist - 7 years ago

+D H they're are so many people who poach out of season, or way over their limit, or fill the boat with people who don't even own dive gear and make them purchase a license so they can collect their lobster limit. That's why I believe that rule is in place.

Brook Crist - 7 years ago

+D H this is what the fwc says: "People harvesting may not exceed their individual bag limit and take someone else's bag limit. That is, people (including children) who are not actively harvesting or are not properly licensed (if a license is required) may NOT be counted for purposes of bag limits." So yes that is correct... I've been diving since i was probably 4. We never took my limit until I was actually able to catch them on my own... but I've been "checked" by fwc many a times and have never been asked if anyone caught someone else's limit or anything like that. If my grandma was on the boat who obviously can not dive down even 10 feet to catch a lobster, we wouldn't take her limit, and then I'm sure fwc would be concerned about something like that. But in this situation, that day if we had caught 18 I don't think there would of been any problem legally.

Larry Sowada - 7 years ago

I liked your different style of video a very little music, it's nice that you gave your subs a description of the many fish in your live aquarium, thanks. Larry

dathcha30 - 7 years ago

Great Video - my daughter wants to know how often do you run into sharks and what type?

dathcha30 - 7 years ago

I'll let her know - she loves your channel and your adventures - being a farm girl from east tn she doesn't get to the ocean much - the one time we did get to go deep see fishing she caught a spinny dog shark and she has been hooked ever since!!! She begs to go everytime we had to the beach.

Brook Crist - 7 years ago

+dathcha30 we see nurse sharks almost everytime we go out, but they just hangout under rocks usually and don't bother us. I've only ever seen 1 blacktip and 1 lemon shark while diving in the 20 years I've been diving
