Lip him like a bass to get him to be still while you take the hook out, otherwise he will fin you. They have hidden fins. Only safe way to hold him is to put your thumb in his mouth.

I know a guy who had only bass fished before, and went on his first offshore trip with friends. The first small snapper he caught, he leaned over the boat and lipped it. He said it felt like a pair of vice grips with teeth latched onto his thumb.
