A couple of years ago in Belize, our dive operator let us use spearguns on all of our dives to hunt lion fish. The smaller lion fish would get fed to the nurse sharks right off the spear. It got to the point where the sharks would follow us on the dives.
The larger lions were bagged and brought back to the boat for a beach bbq.
