Lionfish Jail!!

Pay no attention Lionfish.....just a cat carrier here....BAMMMM!
Dove it last week, needs some weight on the end to keep it flat on the bottom when setting by itself.

Great idea! You can pack a bunch of the lil bastids in there.

Great way to drop the cat in as well............make sure the fish are already out though.

I could only imagine the drag that thing creates underwater. I lost my zookeeper, but am thinking of building one out of this:



It would be comparable in size to the commercial zookeeper, but im worried about the amount of drag. The problem with the standard zookeeper is that I can only fit about 12 NC lionfish in it.

I'd be worried about the spines sticking out the kittie view ports...you know, the sob's last fu to you.

Awesome creative invention !
Would love to see a topside picture of it full sometime.
Nice work and congrats !!

Note to self. Besides all the usual containers, so far I've seen {all converted} water cooler jug, sewer pipe, tennis ball container and now to add a cat carrier to the list. I love hunting Lion fish!!

Give it a couple of pointy ends... Add ballast and floatation... make it neutral... then drag will be manageable.

Swimming drag wasn't too bad. I'll only take it down when I know there are a bunch to harvest. Probably cover the side holes, thanx DESRAT!

My wife saw a pair of grocery store hand baskets tie wrapped together!

Jealous of how many lions you guys appear to be getting...I'm lucky to get one or two here in SoFla
