I have never had lion fish put hear it’s real good. One trick I learn when you shot 1 carry some ER scissors (w/out points) & cut off the poisonouis spins to keep from getting a painful sting. With all the spins cut off you can just throw it in a bag & continue your hunt with no worries. Good luck, hope everyone that dives the Gulf or Atlantic is perpared to kill this invasive fish. Everyone let’s go get’em!! Dive On Jason
