Chris will probably soon post a lionfish kill video that will surely have PETA wanting to burn me at the stake.

I don't know about peta, but when it comes to killing 'our' invasive lionfish even fish hugging environmentalalists will be right there with you.

I hear it is pretty tasty, too!

I hope so. They don't do to well going through the scooter prop. Hehe

They are great eating. All white meat, not a drop of red in them.

I made a batch of ceviche with our recent catch. Chris enjoyed it, but it ended up causing him to perform a modified war hammer today.

We dove the Tennaco Towers yesterday. They are old oil platforms. Vis was pretty crappy and it was a lot darker than normal at 100 feet. Perfect Halloween video.
