Scorpion fish are fine to hold

Don't they have 2 spikes on their gills though that if they wriggle in your hand they can stick ya?

Alot of species do, look at Bass they can cut you to bits if you dont hold them carefully and Rays thorns can give ya cut if your not careful, I meant that they are not poisonous like weaver fish but in saying that I've never been cut by a scorpion fish, stick your thumb in their mouth and you should be fine

Nice days fishing that. Fair play to ya.
