He is also highly toxic, so he would be tossed back anyway (unless he was fished in a place where they are becoming an uncontrollable pest)

Ain’t nature grand!

Good luck removing the hook without getting jabbed.

What was that: a lion fish, a scorpion fish?

Next time cook it just in case.

We eat lobsters…

Only the scales of time will see how this fin-nishes out.

Now I’m thinking of the “Dorkfish” routine by Bill Engvall…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG3dzXPU8eo

Fish: Lion or scorpion?

For all the people moaning about it’s venomous lion fish and throw it back you literally don’t know what you’re talking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ftgw0R2MckE

Chuang-tzu and the old bent tree…

Odd, usually Wiz is intrigued by ugly and strange looking creatures, or do these same creatures have to be monsters to intrigue him?

Must’ve used an ugly lure. Ugly lures lure ugly fish. Garfield can confirm that. https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1996/06/08

Ah, the power of ugly, like being too poor to hack.

Is he a lion fish???

Have you ever seen a ling cod up close and personal? Eeewww!

There are a lot of living things in the ocean that if someone put them in a sci-fi movie no one would believe them.

Hahahahaha

Dang, Wiz! You could’ve put that fish in an aquarium.

Lionfish.Stonefish look like rocks.They bury themselves in the shallows and wait for some poor chump to step on them.

Also,many decades ago in Clearwater,Florida;I noticed a huge crowd hanging around a fishing pier.

Somebody had caught a barracuda the size of King Kong.Even dead it looked like a monster.

Just because it’s ugly doesn’t mean it’s inedible. We used to throw back sea robins because they were ugly, but I’ve found out they’re actually quite tasty.
