I hear Tod Riechert loves lion fishing with a glock too...

Being very involved in the Saltwater Aquarium Hobby, I've been following this disaster for the several years that it's been known.  Basically, Lion Fish have NEVER been endemic to anywhere in the Atlantic Ocean.  Over the past 20 years, hobbyists have released unwanted fish, from Atlantic Ocean coastal communities. Lionfish have destroyed many reef systems, that are already endangered, throughout the warmer regions of the Atlantic Ocean.  For many years, some areas have allowed bounties for these fish.  Spearfishing has always been the method of choice.  I'm not sure I'd be willing to put a Glock into that type of environment.  It's more than just saltwater to be concerned about.  Areas that Lion Fish congregate in, are notoriously known for strong current and wave activity.  I'd hate to fill my Glock up with that fine, powdery ocean sand!

interesting

Lion fish have no natural predators, and they are eating everything available.

Why?

because they destroy the bait fish, and from the video they have no natural predator.. Plus it looks like a blast, I wonder if he offers an A.R 30 rnd mag hunt

It looks like it is all out war on lionfish:

I have enjoyed spear fishing for them while in Honduras and Cozumel. Excellent eating fish but some divers refuse to acknowledge the damage they are doing and frown upon killing them. I will shoot them every chance I get.

Now that looks like a good time!

Glocks are pretty bombproof, saltwater is not an issue and a bit of fine sand should not be an issue. I remember an article in Guns and Ammo (?) about 25 years ago torture testing a first generation G17. The ignorant and closed minded had really defamed Glock in the press as being weak, unsafe, plastic, inaccurate, and just an overall sloppy gun on par with a Hi-Point. After the author had abused it for thousands of rounds without cleaning it, burying it in the sand, dropping it, throwing it, and then hiding it in an ocean reef for a month, the final test was burying it in a cow flop. Never malfunctioned through all that abuse.
