Hunting Lions....
« on: April 14, 2017, 03:51:03 PM »
Fish that is. Unfortunately, we were too deep for my underwater camera with a Max of 50'. Bagged a dozen, lost a few. So far have only made ceviche, tomorrow will try some.

Outstanding! The wild pig of the ocean.

Did you notice the palm trees? I'm guessing he's in Mexico some where.  :chuckle:

Actually, I believe they can be found from Houston north all the way to Rhode Island.

Nice haul, Loki.

I think the only poison (venom) is in the spines.

Yep, off the coast of Cancun,😎 back now though, still windy I see.... 😣

They are a native to the tropical Pacific fish that were somehow introduced to the Caribbean where they have become a horribly invasive nuisance fish. They will eat just about any other fish, reproduce rapidly and prolifically, and have few if any predators. Fortunately, they will let you swim right up to them and just sit there when spearing them. And, they taste good.

You have to be very careful of the spines, many divers have specially made tubes to put them in. Once home, standard practice is to snip all of the fins off with scissors before fileting them. Unfortunately, they are not easily caught or netted in large numbers though I saw someone is trying to design a submarine drone to go after them.

 :yeah: Good stuff even though they make cool pets. I have had several over the years.

I seen that they had some under water drone going around and killing them. Even saw them attach a glock to one and they were blasting them with it. Pretty crazy stuff and they are very hard on the eco systems they some into.
