I was actually responding to the OP, who was asking if anyone was capturing them. The Red Sail folks are taking it very seriously, I'm sure other shops are also, but Red Sail is what I personally had experience with. My understanding is that they're not supposed to spear but rather net only when there are divers (clients) in the water, which is probably why they sort of asked around first. If you look at the DOE lionfish project facebook page, Nigel and Debi are catching a ton of them.
