So if you're looking for a little Invasive Prowess in the bedroom, try a bottle of our Lionfish male supplements…

Lionfish is incredibly tasty... if you’r in Florida you should ask your local restaurant to help with the cause of eradication by serving it.

I’ve noticed on youtube videos that Lionfish barely try to escape while the diver spears one after another, filling his bag. These fish have done a lot of damage to native species.

It got meaner and more ornery the closer to New Jersey that it is?

Yah. That happens a lot.

My knowledge of the Lion Fish comes from youtube episodes of either Sailing Zatara, Sailing Delos, or Sailing Uma. I can’t remember which.

Curious as to the most cost effective method of removal to the kitchen, and on to the table. I’ve seen them spear fished, but not line caught, and seems netting would nab tons of other species we wouldn’t want harmed in the process of going after the Lion Fish.

Spearfishing is the only really cost effective way.

That why we had Lion fish rodeos now..............

I remember when these things were called "turkeyfish."

Why the name change? Or is it a totally different species?

Looks more like a turkey to me.

The population has grown so large that controlling it, not eradicating it, is the primary goal.”

In real life, what this means is there is no way to
eradicate it, so trying to control is the only option.
