That gun will need a lot of cleaning and lube to run again...

That is a bit of overkill for a 2 pound fish. I would think a CO2
powered repeater of some sort would work better. It could be plastic
and stainless. Maybe something that pokes a hole in them and injects
enough CO2 in there to blow them up.

Friend has a buddy living on the US Virgin Islands. Says they taste great,
and come kill them. When I was snorkeling there, looked like a Hawaiian
Sling would be the best.

The problem is getting them off the spear without getting stung.

Just use a pusher stick in to the kayak.

Cleaning may be a little hazardous.

That's why Google is such a friend.

But as for eating:

"The latest FDA science indicates that there is a significant risk to eat lionfish and it is
recommended that you DO NOT eat them. The finding of the FDA is that of 194 fish tested, 42 percent
showed detectable levels of ciguatoxin and 26 percent were above the FDA’s illness threshold of 0.1
parts per billion.’ Ciguatoxin has also been found in the Caribbean Lionfish.
For additional information, contact Natural Resource Extension Agent Ken Gioeli at 772 462-1660 or
UF Professor of Food Science and Human Nutrition Steve Otwell, 352-392-4221."

That's in the remarks following this:

Here's a well-done video on cleaning the damn things, in which they are praised as a healthy fish to
eat.
