should be lots of fun. I've killed hundreds of them, just be careful on time because you feel like can hang out at 140' forever but that tank burns down



Enjoy

Yeah Mike R. (may he RIP) had posted a video when he was hunting some lionfish. Looked like a blast.

Hard to believe it's been 3 years already.

Delicious, seriously. As a nuisance, I'm not sure why nobody eats them.

They do in Florida. At Grills in Port Canaveral.

Look at the menu:

Is there anywhere to free dive and hunt them? Like 15-20' of water?

Should be all over the place. Got talked into sashimi on the boat, about as good as anything I've ever tried. Really blown away by the clean tasty filet, hopefully it will catch on. Ceviche is great too, haven't tried cooked.

Tons of people eat them. Hell we've sold some to very prominent seafood restaurants in NOLA (Legally) and they always sell out quickly

I saw something where one of the chefs from GW Fins hunts them himself then fries the fish whole.

Just curious, never done this before but say myhat's video on it last year...

What is the purpose of it? Don't think you can eat them because their toxic? Do they run off other species or something?

They will eat anything that fits in their mouth. Each female will produce thousands of eggs and will reproduce every 4 days. They have no natural predators in our area/caribbean. They reach sexual maturity in about a year and have a wide tolerance for depth/temperature/etc.

They need to develop an underwater drone with spear guns. Guys can sit in an office in Atlanta and toggle the spears over the Internet. Suck those bastards up into a big net and offload them onto a mothership.
