My dad and I were catching lionfish at Keystone Point in North Miami about 1962!

[@debbiej8231]

I can't remember what it was called but I remember watching a documentary about divers trying to train a certain species of sharks to hunt the lionfish. The shark is immune to the venom and it gave them a wider variety of prey. I thought it was very interesting.

[@blessedbeauty2293]

- Dang I'd love to watch that if you remember or if anyone else knows the title of the video.

[@stuartseldon1737]

To the best of my knowledge, not Caribbean predator was ever been witnessed taking a live lionfish. If someone spears one however, sharks, eels, groupers, snappers will happily eat it. They're also extremely tasty for us. The best hope for the control of these is with the development of a species specific fish trap that can be deployed in deep water. Spearing is fine, but the reality is that divers can only access a fraction of a percentage of the lionfish's range. And contrary to what that one guy said... Lionfish aren't evil. In their native territory, they're in balance with other animals. In the Caribbean and western Atlantic, they have no predators. They're only here because they were somehow introduced by humans.

Been diving the second longest barrier reef in the known universe for the last few months and have taken to hunting lionfish. Nurse sharks love to eat lionfish, but only after the lionfish have been speared. The sharks will follow divers the whole way hoping to get a snack. They will even point out the lionfish to the divers. I attempted to collect some for a meal the other day, but the nurse sharks kept stealing them off my spear.

When I was a kid growing up in Florida I asked him if we had lion fish around Florida, I was scared of how they looked. It was a couple years later but I was snorkeling off the beach one day and stumbled across one of them and I just remember being in complete shock.

[@shotlinediving]

It’s all about lion fish bakes on the beach now.

[@blessedbeauty2293]

- 24:02 People released their aquarium fish that is HOW they got there !!!! 🤬🤬🤬😈👿

[@kristinakay9558]

Wait so they let one live cuz they can’t kill it? The stupidity of human laws never fails to piss me off.

[@marekbroderick8524]

They prolly do hunt them like that off camera when they couldn’t get in trouble, but yeah the laws make no sense when it comes to invasive species

[@bittersweet7145]

This made me feel kinda sad for the fishies. Its good that they're cooking them up at least and I wonder if they really do taste good. I do think there's something at least mildly psychopathic about hunters getting excited before killing for sport though 😅

[@BriEnr]

Bittersweet it's not really psychopathic. Humans are omnivorous predators, and we have a hunt drive. Sometimes that drive manifests as excitement before a hunt.

[@cliffelliott9331]

They are delicious

[@matthewsantos1332]

KZbin's ads are out of control.

[@captainsteve5475]

Such a shame, they are the most beautiful fish.

[@oscarelsenburg4143]

and they eat all the other beautifull fish in the reefs

[@cliffelliott9331]

Did anyone ever say that loin fish are delicious to eat.

[@thomaspalmer8059]

The music that plays over dialogue is more toxic than the fish. Made it 3 mi,utes.

[@mrc6301]

how can people tell what it tastes like. the cook puts so much crap on the fillets you cant even see it. . try eating the actual fish.

[@nukemanmd]

Mike, I've eaten raw (sashimi). It was very mild with a nice texture. I've also eaten it sauteed. It is a fish. If you like fish, you will enjoy it.

[@KingTriton1837]

I had some while in Orlando. I've got a friend and him and wife deep sea fish. They caught 6 lionfish and cooked up two of them that night. It isn't fishy at all to me. Very flaky flesh. Tasty with some lime or lemon juice!

[@peacelovecigarettes]

What a way to announce you don't season your food

[@sakuraturbo3364]

There’s a lion in the boat but is not a fish

[@juliusroblez1945]

was this properly research.....seems like a commercial for hunt diving

[@williamlouie569]

Not easy to catch lion-fish is not viable as commercial fish.

[@chrischeah3075]

They breed like 2 millions a year per fish? so how much could you hunt in a year to make the impact? otherwise you so call scientist, marine biologist or whatever you wanna call it are just wasting the funding for nothing...well probably the funding get you your diving enjoyment, at least.

[@ellenpeel2346]

Hopefully they eat all the fish they kill

[@alexandroskaminas]

Lol you are so funny

[@georgensubuga2937]

PLease don't kill all the lion fish because there amazing.

They’re ..... it’s THEY’RE... not there. There is a place ... their means it belongs to them ... they’re means THEY ARE ... 🙄🙄🙄. How do so many people who speak English not know the basic , proper words to use ? It’s so frustrating to just see so many people online , especially that just butcher simple grammar , use of tenses with words , etc. no hard feelings or anything , it’s just a bit odd that so many people can’t use correct grammar .. Even when someone may not retain every aspect of what they’ve been educated about, those type of error are things learned almost always , from very early on ... like , around age 6-7 and that stuff is reinforced and continued upon at later points , from primary school onward , so there is no reason anyone wouldn’t have better/ proper understanding. No hard feelings or anything ... I just cannot stand when words like their , they’re , there , through , threw , believe it or not , even the words want and won’t are widely incorrectly used ... especially among adults that should be well educated ... especially when they’ve had plenty of Time to figure those things out! Uhh. Just saying .... no offense

@@breAnnasmama Einstein was dyslexic and struggled with grammar and spelling. It's not a measure of intelligence. And going after someone for not using the correct "they're, their, or there" is really just something insecure individuals do to make themselves feel smarter.

[@kevinthen6887]

@@breAnnasmama finally someone brings it up

[@icaibowl5384]

Lol maybe they’re migrating because of the changes in temp in the oceans due to global warming, yet they blame the fishes

[@cordeliushultberg9075]

They are from the indo-pacific so they could not have gotten there naturally. The populations in the West Atlantic are from people releasing their aquarium fish into the ocean

[@cordeliushultberg9075]

And they are hugely damaging to their new ecosystems as they have no natural predators there

[@lynnleigha580]

I'm unsubscribing, I thought you was better than this

[@lynnleigha580]

So, I see you STOLE this content from "real wild" huh? They put this exact video out in 2019. Plus I don't see you giving them any credit and you monetized it. Why don't you just go to the grocery store, steal a 20 dollar bottle of wine, slap your own sticker over the original and sell it for 40 dollars?? Oh, because it's illegal? I can't wait until the day that people that go out and do their job and post a video for someone else to take credit will get theft charges. You can't even call it "fair use". That's cool, they'll catch you and strike your channel and claim all the ill gotten gains
