Headed out on a nice ocean and hit the bottom first. Caught 5 scamps and some grasbies and hinds and this ugly fellow…
also caught two scorpionfish(?), no pics.
Put the spread aout at 10 and had a nice hoo cut the hook off just out of gaff range, saw a blue freejump and picked up a slinger. Pulled the lines in to head in and when we got the last line out the water someone says “look at that dolphin”, Wade pitched him a bait and he ate it and we had him in the boat in short order, he gave my nephew a nice “dolphin tattoo” and then proceeded to break the hinges off the cooler with Wade sitting on it, not quite a daymaker, but a really nice bull.
not good FWC is spending a fortune trying to get rid of those things aint makin any progress either my understanding of them is they are so aggeresive they run alot of ARS and geoupa off the reef

I don’t see how they can stop them now, according to the divers, they are everywhere.

Obama is working on it. He is dumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil into the gulf to kill them.
Set the trap boys, we going to pass through them again!!
They’re here to stay. The best we can hope for is control in vulnerable areas. Any chance for eradication has long since passed. Hmmm… and we still import them by the tens of thousands, alive…
In terms of divers using a net or spear, whichever is easier for you not to get poked is the way to go. Regardless, kill as many as you’re willing to kill, just be careful. Trust me, you don’t want to find out what happens when you’re not. Don’t forget these fish are excellent to eat. Toxin’s not in the meat, so just watch yourself around the dorsal, pelvic, and anal spines when filleting.
