I like how every lionfish is so chill while their buddy next to them is getting slaughtered

This is kinda satisfying to watch 😂😂

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.

It's like those guys that pick up trash on the side of the road lol

I would love to see the process of what happens after you catch them

What's up with all those bonuses? Are they also invasive?

I guess they're the equivalent to the Crown of Thorns starfishi in Australia... but at least lionfish are edible

tell chinese that lion fish have medicinal powers and they will make them endangered species for you

There are so many of them in such small spaces !

Business opportunity: find a way to vacuum them up.

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.

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.

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?

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?

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

Oh, you take your "bonus" with diving bottle? is it legal? for lionfish ok... but the rest? really?!

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?

High quality sashimi！

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 😂😂😂

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.

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?

Yeah!!! Catch em all!!! 😁

How many did you catch

What do you do with them after you collect them

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?

Damn you can feed the whole neighborhood with that!

What kind of lobsters were those?

WHY ARE YOU KILLING THE GROUPER???

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? Does multi pronged Hawaiian sling contain any Barbs or how do you easily remove a caught fish into the container? What special medication (First Aid Kit) should you carry in case you get stung? I've diving for more than 50 years and this looks like fun, entertainment and as service to our environment? Is there any guideline for the disposal of the fish caught? I am presently in Puerto Rico and the Lion Fish epidemic is growing! 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. Would appreciate you feedback, Remember always to watch your Six, I have had many experiences with ever curious Barracudas following me as I swim or dive, just a suggestion from my experience!

Good skill

What's that big fish at the end ?

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?

It doesn’t pay to be both a pest and delicious...

What are those BONUS fishes ?

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.

Good job bro
