I wouldn't say that triggerfish are completely harmless. I have had them latch on to my hair serveral times and I once had one on my stringer repeatedly grab hold of my leg which hurt a little but was good for a laugh from my dive buddy. I do suggest that if you are going to string one up you string it through it's mouth or cut its bottom jaw to prevent this from happening to you. I would like to share a great way to get a hold of the tasty little critters without wasting a shot from your speargun. I have found the best way to get them is to knock a few barnacles off of a rig leg (or any thing that will stir up a cloud ) and in no time you will be surrounded by them. Once you have them in your sites just grab hold of your dive knife and a quick thrust into the side of the toothy fish will stun it long enough for you to grab hold and string it up.
