Glock Fishing Underwater

Saving the reefs and getting a good meal– with a gun! Consuming eighty per-cent of a reef’s edible baitfish in mere weeks and overpopulating like mad, the Lionfish is a deeply invasive species with no natural predators in the area– at least until now.

Here in this video, the crew with Go Fish Productions opted to go Lionfish hunting– and with a gun! They used nontoxic, lead-free ammuniton and ate what they caught, all while doing their best to preserve the reef and keep its more native inhabitants happy. Not a bad job, and it looks like fun!

Kudos to these guys for handling an invasive problem in true hunting-and-conservation spirit! See the video here.

I LOVE IT !!

If I had a Glock I would get the adapter and take it on my next dive trip.

By the way, Lion fish is some of the best tasting ocean fish you will ever eat!

Is it necessary to have the adapter?
A gun was fired underwater in the movie Fool’s Gold.
I wasn’t sure that was possible.
The character wasn’t expecting to be underwater...maybe he had the foresight to have the adapter on all the time though.

Do you feel lucky lion-fish

I think a spear might be even more accurate. You could make lion fish kabobs.
