Let me second that. One of those suckers played dead on me, I go to put the stringer back in the kayak and the next thing I know there is a trigger latched onto my rear end. Same day (we really got into some trigger that day), a guy freediving near me had one bite him so hard that it popped blood vessels in his arm (one of those funky bruise/cut looking bites)
through his wetsuit. So maybe be a bit more than "a wee bit" because those things, at least in NC/VA, will bite you the first chance they get...and hard.
I'm going to have to try some of y'alls ways of cleaning them, because you make it sound easy. I was taught by an ex-commercial fisherman, but he was on his 7th White Russian of the night by the time he got around to teaching me...so maybe there's my problem.
