Lion Fish (Pescado Leon)
I saw them in 78' of water off of Passagrille this weekend and in 70' of water off of Egmont Key a month ago. Punched 5/16" holes through 'em with my Stainless Steel rubber band powered Iron Worker.
However I did see a lot of 5" long Yellow Tail Snappers (not schoolmasters) on a ledge in 60'. Too small to travel here from the Keys or Tortugas. Must have been born here. If no Freezes or Red Tides they might get to "flag size" in a few years - another problem of "Climate Change" too many tropical fish moving north into the Gulf. Get Al Gore on the line - "I was for it before I was against it" - oh sorry, John Kerry. It's so easy to get 'em mixed up!
