Spearing Lionfish on the Vermillion

Nice video! Got dicey on the side of the wreck there, but you guys rallied really well. A few questions... What was the depth? What was the temp? How far out was the wreck? What were you using for light? I presume it was mounted to your head somehow? Do you feel like the wide spacing of your paralyzer tines is causing you to be less accurate? You seemed to aim very well, but the tines would go wide.

Haha yes things definitely got a little squirrelly there for a minute! The average depth of the deck is around 100ft and the water temp was 77 degrees Fahrenheit. I was using two Kraken lights (I think I only had one on) mounted to a helmet with a GoPro in the middle. I like the paralyzer tip personally for lionfish mainly because they do not have barbs on them and do not tear up the meat when releasing. My accuracy issues are mostly due to me not taking as much time as I should have before making a shot.

@@WholeOtherWorldScuba Oh I'm not knocking the paralyzer tip in general, I use one as well. My impression was that your tines are particularly far apart. But to each their own, I suppose.
