For sure cldomson always has some smart asds remark or tries to make people look bad pretty often. Jealousy sure brings out the best in some. Keep posting the awesome videos.

Really? Just saying what everyone is thinking. And trying to protect this sport.

I love Dan’s videos. But this isn’t one I would have posted. The internet trolls will use it against us somehow.

I agree. Glad that they did get the shafts and both of the fish back though. Freeshafting is great but if you don't get perfect shot placement it can lead to some heart breakers. Luckily this was just on a small wreck.

Looks like a sick dive spot.

Re: HeadHunter Video

I loved the video. Amazing how slow he moves and how much he does in 4-5 minutes. Even took the time to stop and shake hands with the locals...

There are a lot of things to be learned from that video, if you pay attention.

The only perfect shooter is a video editor.

Re: HeadHunter Video

No worries. We dove the spot several more times. The fish and shaft were both recovered.

IMO, that really appears to be a futile endeavor. Try as one might, I don't think that any measure of effort will suffice.
The best thing to happen, IMO, is the local organisms to adapt. I've seen a Red grouper eat one. I hope he survived. If so, then there's an opposite reaction by nature to control the population. That's really the best one could hope for, IMO. But hell, given the tastiness of their flesh, I certainly don't want to discourage anyone! Seek and Destroy!

I've had that opinion for as long as I've seen them in the wild. They are fully entrenched in the ecosystem and there is ongoing adaptation by fish big enough to eat them. Big red grouper and AJs regularly eat them as we have noticed while gutting.

I wonder if Goliath’s have developed a taste for Lionfish as well. I would assume that a fish as docile and as easy to catch as a Lionfish would basically be a never ending buffet for Goliath’s. If they are not consuming them in large quantities yet, hopefully they will learn they are easy prey and do some of the heavy lifting for us in our efforts to eradicate them.
