You can lip them with gloves no problem(little teeth that will cut skin). Their poison is in their fins. People say only dorsal fin(top) but i think all of them can have poison. Its not deadly but i hear its like a bad bee sting. But ya, i always lip them and carefully remove hook with pliers.

When in doubt, listen to the locals.

Scorpionfish, aka sculpin in certain areas. In Hawaii it’s called Nohu.
