If you can shake them off the hook using forceps. If you find yourself catching lots of them its a good idea to debarb your hook if it has one.<br /><br />Pity about the big fish but it's always a risk when you fish light abroad to catch the smaller fish that are much more plentiful. I've been busted up a few times myself. Never nice.<br /><br />I like the Greek Islands too. Might visit (or revisit) one or maybe Cyprus late next year. :-)Scott Hutchisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10501486210440010366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5350813758315928345.post-85441521432844194592015-08-31T09:33:40.200+01:002015-08-31T09:33:40.200+01:00Great write up I really enjoyed the read and the p...Great write up I really enjoyed the read and the pics. Whats the best way to handle a scorpion fish Scott ?<br /><br />I fished Elounda on my pole with prawn. Had a few good fish. Then my elastic shot out and I was into a better one. My pole then slammed down into the water as a large preditor took my fish.<br /><br />After a 15 minute battle I brought the fish to the rocks but i could't land it without a net no pics either.....GUTTED.com<br /><br />I later disovered it was a King Fish of at least 10 lbs....I was just glad I had got to see this beautifull creature....<br /><br />Best place I have been fishing on holiday in the sea. ......... :)PurplePeanut007https://www.blogger.com/profile/02802315376732984194noreply@blogger.com
