Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
@Reese Benedict I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im trying it out now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
How long dose it take have a large population again on that same spot? New lion fish moving in? When I see the large schools it looks like you could use a suction hose and herd them like cows toward it.
Those lionfish bags seem to be getting bigger and bigger compared to those little slim tubes what were originally used in the videos from a few years ago
They are endless. It is a war that we will not win. The best we can do is win the battles and keep areas clear of lionfish so reef fish have a chance to survive until local predators figure out that lionfish are food that they can hunt. We are working hard in the Virgin Islands to clear areas of the invaders for that reason. We have seen some of the 'locals' beginning to hunt and eat them on their own. Lionfish reproduce at an insane rate and have the ability to eliminate all the local fish and creatures that keep the ecosystem in balance.
@@rickmanseau5957 it would be cool if you could get discount on a vacation if you help hunt them. Free dive time and air. Sounds good to me. Tell your goverment.
Whole Foods in Miami began to carry the meat a few years ago, which has helped control the population of them, at least in the Upper Keys. Also, some restaurants here in the Keys have it on the menu (not enough of them in my opinion). I've only seen two on my Upper Keys reef dives since June, but last weekend I dove the Vandenberg in Key West, I speared three alone on the reef dive after the wreck.
Great video Dave - y'all are doing a great job - I am helping control them in Cayman - th-cam.com/video/YLAeeYwfcl4/w-d-xo.html - feeding snapper and th-cam.com/video/6_BdtOFi_mg/w-d-xo.html - Feeding Moray
This person is hunting an invasive species that destroying coral reefs. Lionfish are also very venomous. Why do you feel the need to ignore that and go straight to talking down on them?
just put a bounty on them. $2 per fish plus whatever the diver can get selling it. since one lionfish can eat thousands of valuable baby game and commercial fish that's a bargain. eventually so many divers will be going after them that it will create a market for them, since stores do want to sell them and restaraunts do want to serve them. call it a lionfish stimulus package since the democrats are so fond of printing money, they can do something good with it instead of giving it to their idiot friends.
Need one of those cylindrical containers - much easier to stuff the fish into.
j4d3 goat there are other videos here on TH-cam that show diy containers on the cheap.
Great job...good spear....change the bag....

Work Faster. I cant buy these in the supermarket yet?!
Who can invent a "FISH-VAC"?
Change the spear and bag. U can mess u up really bad with this equipment. Looks hard.
Buy cillindrical bag and spear with narrow heads
Way to go removing those lionfish! I’ve got a few lionfish videos too you should see.
You'd think when they see their mates getting spiked the others would do one.
Would it be an idea to chop some of them up and give some protein back to the ecosystem they have been robbing from ????
Well it's dangerous to diver too
Most satisfying thing to watch
You found some big ones. Right on!
Those lionfish bags seem to be getting bigger and bigger compared to those little slim tubes what were originally used in the videos from a few years ago
Beautiful boat. Is that a tug?
These things are everywhere and all look huge and very well fed,wolves in sheepskin
Bag doesn't look like it works real well. Too hard to open each time he tries to put a fish in it. Glad your helping thin out the Lionfish.
They seem endless. Like the videos keep them coming.

Since this vid was made almost 6 years ago, how is the Lionfish problem today???
Great job Dave!
how come they don't scatter when they're being hunted?
Does anyone know largest one caught?
Hopefully they don’t swim away when a diver comes close..an altered instinct of survival probably
Some of those were huuuuuge!!!!
Good thing these fish don't scatter. They don't seem to notice or care that they are being picked off... Interesting.
what happens to the fish after you spear them?
Doesn't look like the spear tip works too well
Go get em Batman!
Would make a good vid game. Camera on suction hose. Every time a L. fish swims next to it hit tab on phone and up goes the fish. I'd pay for that app.
Why not kill them then let other fish eat them?
U getting good ones
I hope eventually the grouper learn that they make a good meal.
Teach goliath grouper to eat them. Has anyone hunted lion fish where there are goliath grouper?
We just started killing them and leaving them on some of our reefs we fish there are 100s
Sinsmauler are the populations staying under control?
Aren’t there any fish markets that could buy them?

@@Renville80 more and more as ppl get use to eating them. At tournaments they do cook them for ppl to try.
Change your tactics and change your bags.
You need one of those zoo keepers/ tube!
Yay! Get em all!!!
Awesome job!
use one of the pvc tubes instead of a laptop bag
Poseidon & his dirty great trident! Lol
Those fishes really like ship wrecks !
Lionfish are pretty stupid fish huh?
Good way to feed people
Soooooooo satisfying
Is there a limit?
No they are invasive to the carabean sea
Bag doesn't work
If you want to send me some photos and videos of your Lionfish hunting I will put them up on www.lionfishdivers.com
