Dive knife, Sea Snips, or both?

I stab and kill Lionfish with it after I have speared them. It would be difficult to do this with my Trilobyte cutter I suppose I might use the knife if the diameter of the entanglement was too big for the Trilobyte? My knife has both a smooth and a serrated blade.

OMG, you're a badass.

Just ready for most contingencies. Be prepared and you won't be scared.

Spearing and killing lionfish, though!

They are an invasive species and need to be controlled to limit their harm. If you were from Florida, I think you would understand

I know...I'm just scared of them!

I'm looking forward to hunting them. My vacation time is accounted for this year. I don't know (but doubt) I can bring my spear to Turks and Caicos. If not, I will try to head to FL for some Lion Fish hunting.

If you had ever eaten them, you would be hunting them too. Hands down the best fish I have ever had. Ceviche, coconut crusted and fried, flat top grilled with garlic, or fire grilled....it's amazing.

As far as hunting them goes, I have never seen the numbers like I did in Roatan. They were everywhere on every reef we dove. Very few other fish, and almost no other juvenile fish.

Sorry for the detour....Now back to the regular topic....

Are you allowed to hunt them in Roatan as a tourist?

I'm wondering what people use their knives for.

When you see a shark, you use the knife to stab your buddy in the leg while you swim like hell.

(I can't believe no one had dug up that old joke yet.)

My dive buddy calls me "chum".
