  • I am out with Shark Quest again to spear lionfish in the Gulf of Mexico, right outside of the Destin Pass. This time we are shooting lionfish for science. Jessica Valek is a Marine Biologist for the Okaloosa County Coastal Resource Team and his collecting lion fish to check their age through size, check for lesions and scars, and to collect them for DNA testing, all to find out more about our invasive lionfish population. We also have Brady Hale with us from the Ocean Strike Team, he is an absolute killer in the water…he took out over 70 lionfish on one drop! Insane! Anyways follow along and stick around to the end to see who won a Lionator Poll spear and to enter for the nest pole spear giveaway.

    About Active Duty Outdoors:
    I started this channel to prove to my son that I could get to 1000 subscribers...check! I was an Active Duty Air Force member with over 23 years of service and now retired. My career had brought me to some awesome locations that I was able to call home, from the Rocky Mountains to the Swamps of South Georgia and everywhere in between! After retiring, we moved to Navarre Florida where I can fish and scuba dive right out my back door...almost. My family and I have a strong passion for the outdoors from hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, to SCUBA diving and spearfishing. Where will we go next?
    We crushed 6,000 subscribers!! Thank you to all of you who have clicked the subscribe button, you all are AWESOME!

    Thank you for what you're doing! I recently moved to Florida and I can't wait to try eating lionfish for the first time, and maybe even learn to dive one day so I can hunt them too

      Heck yeah! The Emerald Coast Open weekend in Destin will have a lot of Lionfish to serve. Restaurant week is the week prior and will have a lot too. Come over to Shark Quest when you’re ready to learn!

    Awesome video. I met Brady Hale a few years ago when he did a lionfish presentation at a meeting for our local dive group, the Scubadillos, in Plano Texas.

      Lol, and I too have suffered the embarrassment of accidently turning off my GoPro when I got below, and never fails always when I saw the best sights

      That’s a fact! 😂
      Brady is awesome! One hell of a diver.

    I don't dive, so I'll never hunt lion fish, but I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for what you do and the work you put into your videos.
