Lionfish in Florida: How Do We Fight The INVASION?
I am out with Shark Quest again to spear lionfish in the Gulf of Mexico, right outside of the Destin Pass. This time we are shooting lionfish for science. Jessica Valek is a Marine Biologist for the Okaloosa County Coastal Resource Team and his collecting lion fish to check their age through size, check for lesions and scars, and to collect them for DNA testing, all to find out more about our invasive lionfish population. We also have Brady Hale with us from the Ocean Strike Team, he is an absolute killer in the water…he took out over 70 lionfish on one drop! Insane! Anyways follow along and stick around to the end to see who won a Lionator Poll spear and to enter for the nest pole spear giveaway.

I started this channel to prove to my son that I could get to 1000 subscribers...check! I was an Active Duty Air Force member with over 23 years of service and now retired. My career had brought me to some awesome locations that I was able to call home, from the Rocky Mountains to the Swamps of South Georgia and everywhere in between! After retiring, we moved to Navarre Florida where I can fish and scuba dive right out my back door...almost. My family and I have a strong passion for the outdoors from hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, to SCUBA diving and spearfishing. Where will we go next?

Fishing remains tough in the panhandle. This winter has been brutal for fishing with wind sustaining in the double digits and the surf following the same pattern.

I always ran my catch dog's with my bay dog's.
gogo dont stop
Lady looks like she could be my horse Scotty’s sister. Scotty looks like Lady did in the beginning. I am glad to see that she gained all this weight with the diet you put her on. Scotty is getting almost identical food plus some weight gaining supplements. We have only had him for a month now and I can’t wait to see how he will look all fattened up 😊
Thank you! Scotty will look amazing soon. Lady looked amazing a few months after this video.
You are doing great work!
😊
Thank you!
Good stuff...!!
Thank you!
Good stuff..!! Thanks for posting.
Thank you!
I get extremely paranoid diving into objects like these pyramids.
I don’t blame you, it’s a little tight in there.
Brother you doing a good job
Thank you!
Which pier is this??
This was the pier on Jekyll Island in Georgia.
Pomp STEAKS!!! (LOL)
🤣 they were pretty good.
I never get tired of watching lionfish disappear down the throat of the Zookeeper. Your commentary isn't boring. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!!
4:35-----Choke point in the corner. Bad place for the water and grain bucket and introducing horses.
True!
what was being circled? in the first part?
What king of spear are you using? Are what would you recommend?
I am using a JBL pole spear with a paralyzer tip. It’s my favorite spear. Tip: amzn.to/3KOJX5a Spear: amzn.to/3KOJX5a This is there really expensive one, I couldn’t find the exact one.
How deep are you? Also, how far off coast? I’d love to come hunt with you!
Some of the dives were only a few miles out of the pass and in 60 feet of water, others were 10-15 miles out and 130 feet of water. If you’re ever in the Pensacola/Destin area let me know.
Can wait to fish
It’s an awesome area to fish.
Jesus Christ loves you, give your worries and burdens to Jesus. God has a plan for you, trust in Gods plan. It is never too late to turn to Jesus.
Thanks.
Awesome video, my man! I’m glad you’re out there helping out in the gulf! I have yet to get out there
Was that a spoon?
It’s a diamond jig. They have a lot of weight to them so it’s easy to cast far with it.
@@ActiveDutyOutdoors thanks man! Jesus loves you
Glad to see others active duty doing stuff like this. In the process of PCS’ing RN and everyone i talk to is just getting housing on post. 😅
Man, I couldn’t live on base anymore. I got tired of giving all my BAH to a contracted shitbox. It was way nicer putting that towards my mortgage.
@@ActiveDutyOutdoors yeah, as an MP i see all the BS that happens with on post housing as well. Basically the worlds most restrictive HOA. Meanwhile dude down the street can actively block the road with a vehicle frame w/ out an engine in it and nobody bats an eye.
Would love to join the next dive!
Where are you located?
@@ActiveDutyOutdoors Houston, TX but willing to travel. I’ve heard they’ve been spotted off the coast here but I couldn’t find any dive groups that go out around here.
Oh man!!! I know this guy!!! He was much squad leader!!
Hell yeah!! Who is this?
How do u know how far to shave into for the mane? I took my girl to get groomed and they shaved everything off her. So now I've been doing ot on my own. But her mane hasn't grown back to as long as it was before they butchered her
We just stop right and the shoulder blades while holding up the mane. Their hair does grow really slow.
It will probably take at least 1.5 years to come back fully. I'm judging it by my powder puffs' hair who is in a 'pony cut'. She is like half grown back right now because life got hard and I didn't clip her for 8 months. She will go for a groom somewhere else for the first time in her life next week. I was her only groomer, but I can't do it now - broke my ankle.
Hey, I’m a local to south east Florida looking for a commercial spearfishing crew that can provide a consistent supply of lion fish for a restaurant. Comment if you happen to have some information
I might know a few crews, let me check with them to see if they already have a wholesaler. Send me an email to ccsar22@yahoo.com and I’ll send you their contact.
More Please!
Oh there will be more for sure, summer is just getting started. Check out my new channel that is strictly diving and hunting Lionfish. youtube.com/@thedeco_stop?si=JC1yWlEC4gjS913x
Is that background song them from Borderlands
I’m not sure, I will have to check the video edit when I get home. I know I got it from Epidemic Sound but not sure where else it was used.
Why were dead pilchards on floor, why no snappers eating them
I’m not sure why there were so many. I know the tiger sharks go in and clean them up though.
if any sane dive master would certify me for oxygen enhanced I'd love to get a bag of those, I've been on oxygen for a couple of years for my copd so that's unlikely but any white meat fish is always welcome if there was some way to oxygenate a hookah rig I'd sure consider it
Thanks for watching and subscribing. They are so good to eat. copd, that’s a tough one to dive with for sure. I just started a new channel strictly for diving and will be posted a lot of Lionfish videos there. youtube.com/@thedeco_stop?si=wYlCe6D8RLY37ae4
Bad camera angle and you should lay out your catch at the end.
Thanks for the feedback. I stayed filming with a wider angle that captures more now.
@@ActiveDutyOutdoors Awesome. Love the vids though.
@@KeoluBoy100thank you!!
It’s a beautiful fish in its natural habitat but not in the Caribbean. Luckily it’s tasty.
They are so good.
I really like the videos. I hope you guys got some marketability from those fish also. Just a note, I also like your food running comments, humorous and educational. I find the background music just a little loud to hear all of your comments. Maybe just a little less music volume. Great stuff regardless.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoy them. I try to keep the music a little lower, hard to find the right balance. I started a new channel just for diving, it’s where I’ll put all my new Lionfish videos on. youtube.com/@thedeco_stop?si=DOUuMxFx1wsW5MSx
@@ActiveDutyOutdoors just subscribed👍
apple cidar vinegar and garlic in their feed helps with flies and parasites
Awesome!! Thanks for the tip.
Some big Tiger sharks around the pier
Yeah there is. Usually a couple right under it.
For only a recreational dive, why would you use 28% instead of 32% and either get more time on the wreck or a larger safety margin?
I dive a 1.4 ppo2. 32% would limit me to 111 feet where the 28% would allow me to dive to 130.
you can put the scallops in the zookeeper to free your hand
I will from now on!
finally a lionfishing vid that's long, it's literally my asmr.
Thanks!! I agree, the short videos are frustrating.
Keep this up bro
I will for sure. I just started a new channel called “The Deco Stop” where I’ll post all my diving and Lionfish videos.
"Lionfish in Florida: How Do We Fight The INVASION?" What a lie,a fn joke. INVASION?,😆😅😂,they are bread and released in the ocean on purpose so tourists come and spend $$$ to catch them thinking that they are making a difference.... Florida, enough said.
I guess that’s one school of thought.
Great info
Thank you!
Done. Hope i can do this one day!
Thank you. And I hope you can too! It is pretty fun!
It’s good to know divers are trying to helps the reefs by removing these horrible fish!
Do you shave her whiskers off?! It look slike you're right on the whisker line
Yes, the whiskers are shaved off.
PUT ME IN COACH!
Let’s go!! The Emerald Coast Open is in a couple weeks.
Fellow fkayak and scuba fisherman enjoying your channel. Out of Navarre. Let me know if you ever need a dive buddy
Thanks for watching. I started a new channel just for diving. UA-cam is weird and didn’t like me having multiple topics so I went with two channels. I am diving all the time and am always looking for people to dive with. Here is the link to my other channel “the deco stop” youtube.com/@TheDeco_Stop?Sub_confirmation=1
Can’t wait til more restaurants put them on their menus!
Same!!
how do they taste?
They taste really good. Not fishy at all and I like them best in fish tacos.
Done. Love the channel. Going to start doing some videos of my own like this over here in Panama City
Heck yeah, I do a little diving over in PCB! Thanks for watching.
