    GoPro cut off early but all Lionfish were removed from both coops. This was my first Lionfish harvest and despite poor technique and getting stung once it was really fun. The Zookeeper Lionfish dungeon & Neretic pole spear worked great. Look forward to doing it again.

      I just moved to the P'cola area but if you're looking for a lion fish charter, check out James, he can work something up for ya. Fast & comfortable boat, good crew with hundreds of honey holes.

      This was my first time getting stung and it really hurt. Kinda like a really bad wasp bite. Heat helps. I'd also try ibuprofen (or similar) and I've been told those Capsacin Salon Pas type patches are also good. Zookeeper has a re-useable heat pack that is helpful also.

    • @fatdaddyeddiejr
      @fatdaddyeddiejr 5 років тому +2

      Their an invasive species without their natural predators to hunt them. So they have no reason to be afraid. So they just sit still to be shot with a spear.

  • @andreasmikoleiczik6120

      @joehentalack2443 7 років тому +5

      barracudas and large groupers swallow them like pop-corn regarding of their barbs,but they are good at hiding and rarely swim in the open.that's why.

    • @toddymcboatface
      @toddymcboatface  8 років тому +14

      Yes an invasive species with no real predators. They really stack up and decimate reefs (natural & artificial). Oh and they're tasty too. Beautiful white flaky meat.

    • @adrianramirez7552
      @adrianramirez7552 7 років тому +7

      Uhmmm no,they are very invasive,they are killing lots of other species,they ain't good for the ocean's biodiversity,thus they lay about 2m eggs every year and they don't have much of a predator.This is the best way to control their rapid growth.

    • @richy5913
      @richy5913 5 років тому

      They will not go critically enangered,they are an invasive species that grows rapidly,by eating native coral fish.

    @311badfish 6 років тому +5

    I shoot them with pretty much same setup as you, but the trident tip isn't as effective as a longer frogging spear. I find the rigid trident tip can push the lion away. Especially with a head shot. Some of those were pretty big, by the sound of your bubbles depth of 50-80'? I live in the lower keys and still haven't rid us of the ones in 30' yet. Happy hunting!

  • @ianwatson2687
    @ianwatson2687 7 років тому

      Hunting Lionfish Aruba we hit these ~4-6 months later and they were half full and then a year later the were maybe half of that. Seemed to put a good dent on the population. Time to find more spots.

    It is important to know that predators like moray eels and other sharks can also learn to eat these fish and leave them some wounded so that they learn to eat them too, the small ones should be eliminated. important to leave some injured so that other fish get used to eating them
