Just keep your fingers well away from their teeth while unhooking and cleaning. I once was bitten by a "dead" one that apparently came back from the grave for revenge.
You can't be serious?
Our first time ever fishing the flats, we caught some and didn't know what it was. They STINK!
The idea of eating Lady Fish was about enough but Lizard fish? The two has got to be a 'DEAD RINGER'!
Mother in law.....Hmmm is that the little baitfish that looks yellow/green/pink real slimy with big teeth and when cuaght on a sabiki rig theres hardly no way to get him off without geting bit?
We have allways caught a few while getting live bait nearshore in yalls area and nowhere else. never knew the name of them. Hear one guy call them a clown fish and that kinda stuck...
