'Harvest lionfish, win prizes:' Florida's Lionfish Challenge is on for amateurs and pros
"Here fishy, fishy," Florida commercial and recreational fishermen and divers will soon say because the Lionfish Challenge starts June 1.
"The rules are simple: Harvest lionfish, win prizes," the registration page says on the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission website.
Registration is free and open to recreational and commercial divers of all ages. The divers catch and harvest as many lionfish as possible between June 1 and October 1.
You may ask why hunt the exotic foreigner that many prize in their home aquariums. Unfortunately, they eat everything, are voracious and have no predators in the U.S.
Researchers from Oregon State found that one lionfish living on a coral reef reduced the native fish population by 79% in five weeks. Another lionfish ate 20 fish in just 30 minutes.
The beautiful fish also overeat. A researcher studying lionfish in the Gulf of Mexico found that their stomachs can expand 30 times to make room for more food. A fish can eat 7.5 times their daily requirement of food.

Yesterday was my 8th round of golf in six weeks. Found my iron swing. Hitting the PW 125 and the 5 iron 200. Was playing an elevated tee 306 yards out. Creek just in front of green. I hit a 9 off the tee to lay up on the hill, then challenged the pin with my 5 iron and hit it 210. One chip, one putt for a par.
But working on a boat every spring was also fun.
