Ran across this slideshow: http://www.wptv.com/Photo.aspx?content_id=1eaa43ba-0083-4afe-85a9-f19e556b7bed&i=0My BIL caught a Stargazer last year in the surf. We didn't know what it was then & now I find out it has poisonous spines & an electrical shock. Glad he didn't touch it to released it.

 "Stargazers are venomous; they have two large poison spines situated behind the opercle and above the pectoral fins. They can also cause electric shocks."
Like you said good thing you didn't touch it. Sounds like these things are meaner than a Condello Strain Bluegill. Plus it looks a lot like Edward G Robinson.
