Ken Ayers Jr.

More than an avid diver and fisherman, Ken Ayers Jr. (MTeleCom) was crowned “Lionfish King” of Florida for 2019. His second kingship in three years, Ken has eliminated more than 3,500 of the invasive species in the Gulf of Mexico. To accomplish the feat, he had to dive more than 175 times last summer, hunting with a specially designed pole spear.
