Have any of you seen any Lion Fish in the Northern Gulf?
Two of my divers saw one on the I-10 rubble Saturday, they said it was small about 4-5 inches.
 
Florida Keys are on the look out for them, too. Our dive master there last year said to report them if we see one. I hope we aren't in for an infestation of them.
 
Here is my question: How does one go about wrangling one? I mean you have to shoot it, but what precautions are there after it's on your shaft? Is there a safe way to remove them from a shaft without injury? Also does anyone have care and handling instructions for cleaning and cooking to share?
