More Lionfish News
Seems the cool water pushed some extra Lionfish in on the Deepledge. I was going to eat these that i caught but i can't say what happened to them other than they are dead. I did get pricked by one and lived. Creates a painful sting that goes away in about 45 minutes with no side effects. Putting hot water on it kills the pain. Happy hunting.

Re: More Lionfish News
And Lionfish thought they had NO predators! LOL! (Other than Grouper, maybe). Sure is a cocky little fish.

Re: More Lionfish News
It is pretty discouraging, I've seen very few and now their abundance seems to be growing extremely rapidly. I have been seeing mostly small ones.

Re: More Lionfish News
Don't mess with those lionfish hits, you got lucky, if you get hit in an artery or vein, there will be a BIG difference in symptoms. Trust me, I talk from personal experience.
 Come to Jax I will show you more lionfish than you could kill in a 50 minute dive.

Re: More Lionfish News
I was in Grand Cayman and Roatan not too long ago. Saw some REALLY big ones, but had no way to kill them. Thought about hitting them in the head with a rock or something, though. LOL. Was a little surprised when the dive guide swam off and didn't try to take them out. Maybe they were allowing them to stay for the "tourist" divers to see. It's a beautiful and majestic fish but BAD NEWS for the reefs!

Re: More Lionfish News
I cant figure out why you got stung with the caution you used while stringing them lions up! LOL you are one brave man.
When I was in Grand Cayman (ocean frontiers) we sall a few and the dive masters brought along a mask box and caught them. |

Re: More Lionfish News
Randy...someone on here told me to use a piece of 4-6 " diam. pvc tubing about 3 ft. long and put a cap on one end and a lobster trap door on the other. You can stuff them in it and you won't get pricked. Them damn things are so thick and big up here it's unbelievable.
