I saw this beast at the rodeo this weekend. It was huge. Helluva hoist but that fish really was a beast!

Just got done working up the jumbo lionfish that DeMuth shot. The information is below and photos attached.
Length: 419mm (16.5in)
Weight:1075g (2.37lbs)
Old record:
Biggest Lionfish in US Gulf of Mexico:385mm
Biggest lionfish in entire Gulf of Mexico:390mm
So, the old ‘record’ was crushed.

Can't believe those suckers are in the GOM now. Would have looked good in someone's aquarium.

Dude has balls to even hoist that mofo 
I didn't think they got that big.
ETA: According to wiki that is damn close to the max length they give

There's something on YouTube about prepping them. Ice kills the venom or something? Somebody better start eating the bastards.

There were two guys on the show Shark tank trying to get investors to develop a market for harvesting them for meat a few weeks ago. Because of the OB I was up on what was going on in the gulf.
Mark Cuban and his cohorts laughed them out of the building.
