Need to have an entire gulf coast weekly, or monthly at least, derby with enough monetary enticement to encourage at least 1,000 divers to participate each time.
Warface Bblazer it's not poisonous, it's venomous. Two different meanings. If you want to sell them to restaurants for consumption etc, then yes I think you need a special license. Hope this helped lol
I grew up in Destin. Lion fish have been a problem for years. I still fish that area couple times a year. The meat is actually pretty good. White, not fishy. Enjoyed vid.
Awesome job.Im over in PC and what these things are doing to our local waters is horrible. I have never seen an invasive species take hold so fast. These in our waters and the Pythons in the Glades are doing terrible damage with no natural predators to keep a balance.
neriticdiving.com/products/neritic-lionfish-eliminator Best spear out there. The spear I have has an additional grip neriticdiving.com/products/depth-grip-kits
Neritic. By far the best on the market. solid aluminum and breaks down for easy traveling. see link below. neriticdiving.com/collections/frontpage/products/neritic-lionfish-eliminator
Yes, it's not fair, using diving bottles make endangered species to lobsters, crabs, breams..... Good job with the lionfish but with other fish..... no words.
This fish is native in my country, but I didn't know that they can grow and breed that fast in other ocean I have never seen they are grouping that much 😂😂😂
Not important though Yup. That's what happens when something is introduced somewhere else and has no natural predators to keep its population balanced.
I remember when Vincent Ludwig paid $20,000 for 1 of these in 1988. Frank Drebin killed his however, so this wasn't caused by Ludwig's, even though he was a bad guy.
Please advice on your tools: How to build or buy the fish container? Does the container is semi sealed (i.e., does mot allow fish blood the emerge into the nearby waters?

Hey Capt. I use a Zookeeper www.zkstore.com/. By far the best tool out there. It is semi sealed and blood does emerge but it is very safe and efficient. I use a 6 prong tip that does have a few barbs but the Zookeeper entry strips the fish off of the spear, no problem. Hot water is the best remedy for a lionfish sting. Monitor closely and if you have a severe reaction, seek medical attention. I try and get the lionfish into the zookeeper as fast as possible. It keeps hungry sharks, cudas and other species from getting too hungry!
victor: TOM, TOOOM! where could he be. hey James have you seen Tom James: uhh yeah i saw him last min. try going to the other place just a 3 meters swim away Victor: okey i will, thanks James.... james?
I've been poked while diving, on the boat, while filleting.... Every poke is different. I've had some stings that were extremely painful and others that weren't so bad. Couldn't tell you why one is worse than the other.
Bonus 1 and 3 seemed like lobsters, but what was Bonus 2? I couldn't tell what it was. And why catch Bonus 4? (can't tell what fish that is) I thought the idea was to catch lionfish so that other creatures like lobsters and Bonus 4 can thrive.
I like how every lionfish is so chill while their buddy next to them is getting slaughtered
Yeah they don't seem to brite
This is kinda satisfying to watch 😂😂
Happy Hardiansyah same
Killing animals isn't fun
Happy Hardiansyah yes strange but I get a good feeling out of it to 🤪

Can't get enough of this invasive species. Glad you tirelessly documented this lionfish spearhunting vid. My endorphins are rejoicing. BRAVO
Need to have an entire gulf coast weekly, or monthly at least, derby with enough monetary enticement to encourage at least 1,000 divers to participate each time.
The thing is, now they hide at depths below where divers can reach to, and some of them are wising up to only show up after evening.
It's like those guys that pick up trash on the side of the road lol
But waaaay cooler
And pays more too
my dad was a trash man
Lol
Gregory Everson what
I would love to see the process of what happens after you catch them
Erik Gonzalez EXACTLY HOW I FELT
Well I could sum it up for you, they die. Then get eaten. Then get digested. Then the sewer. Then the sewer treatment.
@@drewg1184 not sure if they are eaten
@@neletiku3711 Watch videos people eat them
@@neletiku3711 they are their really good
What's up with all those bonuses?
Are they also invasive?
no, they are food.
I'm pretty sure lionfish are invasive species
@@cookiehunter1357 We know that, I just asked about the other stuff they catched.
@@PieterPatrick oops, sorry about that, I read that wrong.
I guess they're the equivalent to the Crown of Thorns starfishi in Australia... but at least lionfish are edible
actually they require special handling and cleaning, since they are really poisonous.
Warface Bblazer no only the spines are toxic the fish is perfectly fine to eat.
Warface Bblazer it's not poisonous, it's venomous. Two different meanings. If you want to sell them to restaurants for consumption etc, then yes I think you need a special license. Hope this helped lol
Poor bonus 4. It was put into a container filled with venomous spines…
tell chinese that lion fish have medicinal powers and they will make them endangered species for you
Dude, that's fucking genius!
😨no you didn't...
Stop destroying nature
tell chinese what you said here and you will be endagered bro
清蒸味道鲜美
There are so many of them in such small spaces !
Business opportunity: find a way to vacuum them up.
Then you'd vacuum everything else too
That was what I thought.
Key phrase, 'find a way'.
SoulPath look at gold vacuums from Alaska, there's a way
Why stab when you can... *SUCC*
Has anyone else said this, "like shooting fish in a barrel."
That is insane! I didn't realize how invasive they were! There had to be like 100 or more of them just hanging out there.
That's awesome! You're a lionfish killing machine!
I grew up in Destin. Lion fish have been a problem for years. I still fish that area couple times a year. The meat is actually pretty good. White, not fishy.
Enjoyed vid.
White like Mahi Mahi? That sounds awesome
Fellow BUG DIVER here from LONG BEACH,CA..great video!
Awesome job.Im over in PC and what these things are doing to our local waters is horrible. I have never seen an invasive species take hold so fast. These in our waters and the Pythons in the Glades are doing terrible damage with no natural predators to keep a balance.
have they finally wised up?
@eedd sdsd he's talking about the state of Florida in the United States
Love it, great work.
So exciting !!!
Do they always orient to structure like that? Are gloves adequate protection?
Thanks for taking some of them out.
Very nice. I wish I could have participated!
Great video! You’re gonna need a lot more bags!
Awesome!! Thanks for helping out the oceans by keeping these nasty buggers down!
Great Meeting you Alex ! See you at the next derby ?
Buen trabajo felicitaciones👏👏
They hit the jackpot.
What type of pole spear is it in the beginning of the video?
neriticdiving.com/products/neritic-lionfish-eliminator
Best spear out there. The spear I have has an additional grip
neriticdiving.com/products/depth-grip-kits
good job, grouper looks on the small side?
Killing the groupers is part of the problem with the lionfish.
What depth did were you at in this video?
This looks hella fun
Never even knew we had a lionfish derby here in destin
This is crazy what your doing 👍
That looks like the most satisfying job in the world
What gloves do you use? They are resistant to puncture?
Amazing, is it lionfish's nest?
I’m dying to try them out, supposedly they’re delicious.
This looks like a good job opportunity.. Now,where do i sign up
When is the next Lionfish Derby? Who is invited ? Any information would be appreciated.
thanks for doing us Floridians a favor...I have only done this once. bagged about a dozen in one dive.
So satisfying!
hey where did u catch your lionfish what beach because i live in destin @Alex Fogg
What kind were the other bonus fish? Are you killing them?
Why did he kill the grouper??
Good luck to you
I wish I knew how to scuba dive I want to be a reef ranger plus you can still cook them right?
longer version pleaseeeeee...
so therapeutic
too bad you could not use a vaccum like the gold seekers do when trying to find gold on the ocean floor..
Excellent work guys
Great job....what is the brand name of your spear, please?
Neritic. By far the best on the market. solid aluminum and breaks down for easy traveling. see link below.
neriticdiving.com/collections/frontpage/products/neritic-lionfish-eliminator
If I had the time and skills to do this, it would be a blast!
is this lionfish gathering ? why so many of them in one place
What do you do with all of those dead lionfish?
holy moly them lionfishes literrally took over that place
Great job guys
Y u kill everything? I thought you only kill lionfish
They'll also kill other good eating fish if their not endangered
Your math is a bit optimistic... those lion fish only have a couple ounces of meat on them, up to maybe half a pound. So about $2500 max.
I harvest other fish for my friends and family to eat. nothing is wasted.
Captain Cat stop killing the others that's. It saving the reef
Alex Arias *its not
Oh, you take your "bonus" with diving bottle? is it legal? for lionfish ok... but the rest? really?!
I mean i dont think spear fishing in general is illegal, nor is using a zoo keeper
I don't mind hes getting some bonuses other fishes (if they are not in danger of extinction of course)... he's helping more than doing harm.
Actually it's illegal. But for lionfish, snakefish and some other species is ok
Yes, it's not fair, using diving bottles make endangered species to lobsters, crabs, breams..... Good job with the lionfish but with other fish..... no words.
Fucking poacher
Great Job!
Another great day
Sheesh, they're everywhere!
Do you spear them by just poking them? Or are you using the band? 🤔
yeaass such good free food! best tasting fish ever!
wow, they have completely taken over
What were the other fish picked up toward the end?
broomtail grouper
@@chimyshark Hi cheers, why ?
@@nigelmitchell351 I could be wrong but that’s what I think the fish at the end was.
@@chimyshark Thanks bud.
High quality sashimi！

what was species of the one at 2:53 ?
Do they sell them to restaurants?
What was the bonus?
wouldn't the grouper be contaminated if stung by the lion fish? I would hate to find out the hard way.
Good job!
O que eh feito com os peixes??
Good work sir.
Weren't you supposed to catch lionfish only ? Why did you catch the other fishes ?
What a fantastic haul. Wild pigs are delicious but nearly as delicious as lionfish. It sure is nice that these invasive fish are delicious.
if i were to live nearby. would i be allowed to catch a lionfish for a saltwater aquarium?
Hope not. That's how the damn things got here.
xs10tl1 their also for sale at the petshop so it's better to just grab them from the ocean.
yes
Yeah!!! Catch em all!!! 😁
How many did you catch
What do you do with them after you collect them
eat em
you are such a savage for just grabbing the lobster out of a lion fish den haha
At what point do you just get explosives and make a shockwave near them to just kill them when they're grouped up like that.
Great job! I would kill to be around so many Lionfish!
What were the bonus fish?
The local fish the ‘lionfish killing divers’ are supposed to be protecting . Hypocritical?
Damn you can feed the whole neighborhood with that!
What kind of lobsters were those?
Aaron Burris slipper lobster
WHY ARE YOU KILLING THE GROUPER???
To eat it. Spearfishing is a pretty common fishing method in coastal areas.
because yum
Please advice on your tools: How to build or buy the fish container? Does the container is semi sealed (i.e., does mot allow fish blood the emerge into the nearby waters?

Have you ever been in problems with Sharks or Barracuda trying to take your caught fish (their free meal)?
I have had many such encounters while diving for Grouper or Lobsters, solution, just cut the line and swim away in an orderly fashion.

I use a 6 prong tip that does have a few barbs but the Zookeeper entry strips the fish off of the spear, no problem.
Hot water is the best remedy for a lionfish sting. Monitor closely and if you have a severe reaction, seek medical attention.
I try and get the lionfish into the zookeeper as fast as possible. It keeps hungry sharks, cudas and other species from getting too hungry!
Good skill
What's that big fish at the end ?
Scamp Grouper
They clearly are there for profit only. The grouper is the one of only a few fish that actually preys on lionfish.
If only duece biglow knew how easy it was
victor: TOM, TOOOM! where could he be. hey James have you seen Tom
James: uhh yeah i saw him last min. try going to the other place just a 3 meters swim away
Victor: okey i will, thanks James.... james?
I didn't get the "bonus" part... Spearfishing using diving bottles?? And you also dare to upload it on youtube??? Who do you think you are??
💕
Have you ever been stung by a Lionfish?
Yes. Not the best feeling
That must suck.
BTW keep up the epic videos! Been here for a year!
+Alex Fogg how bad was the pain? How did it happen? Love your videos btw
I've been poked while diving, on the boat, while filleting....
Every poke is different. I've had some stings that were extremely painful and others that weren't so bad. Couldn't tell you why one is worse than the other.
It doesn’t pay to be both a pest and delicious...

Bonus 1 and 3 seemed like lobsters, but what was Bonus 2? I couldn't tell what it was. And why catch Bonus 4? (can't tell what fish that is) I thought the idea was to catch lionfish so that other creatures like lobsters and Bonus 4 can thrive.
