Cookie Donaldson presents Eric Finn (center) and Bryan Kennedy of Delray Beach with the first-place prize for catching the biggest lionfish in the annual derby. Their winning fish weighed 2 pounds. They also won second place for spearing the most lionfish — 173. The derby draws attention to the invasive species threatening saltwater fish and wildlife populations. Finn is owner of Finn-Atic Fish Company, an online fish market that makes home deliveries in Palm Beach and Broward counties. He says Finn-Atic (www.finnaticfishco.com) plans to offer lionfish to customers. Photo provided
