A Jedi Master and his lionfish

We managed to get in the water today to try to catch more live lionfish. Unfortunately, the wind didn't cooperate so our chosen sites were blown out and sloppy. Instead, we tucked inshore and explored a small patch reef out of the wind. We struck out.

Since that isn't much to brag about, instead I want to show you a video from May, 2013 when I enlisted Chris Flook, a Jedi Master, to catch lionfish for the exhibit at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute. This should give you an idea of how we go about catching these fish alive. Flook makes it look pretty darn easy.
