well done mate,ive had a few of those off roker,i think they get called bull head,supposed to sting you as they have sharp spikes.

 

[leonburey]

it would hurt if you got a spike in the finger, but they arnt poison's at all.

Thats a Granny fish (bullhead or Sea scorpion, all roughly the same thing). There very bonny fish, though have a very big mouth that can engulf all but the biggest hooks .

Hears some info..... THEY DO NOT STING/POISON YOU! They do have sharp spines that can cause injury, but even when pricked by one it wont do you no harm, obviously a wee bit blood loss, but nothing serious.
