Oh well...here we go. We need the "Men In Black" spearfishing team to put s SWAT Lionfish team together.
I can tell you that is exactly what will happen.
Hopefully we can get an exemption on the jetties for Lionfish. I'm also thinking we should consider a few "Lionfish Roundup" events each year, similar to Paul's Crab Grab.
... Free dinner to the winner?
I think that is a great idea. We could also do an all year kind of thing, where if you kill one you take a picture for proof, and then we keep a list of everyone's totals. Might as well try to make the best of a bad situation.
Although I suspect they wont survive the northern Gulf throughout the winter.
