Is this a long spined sea scorpion?

Its the first sea scorpion that Ive caught I didnt know how to tell the two species apart without the help of a guide so I just took a few quick photos.Its a bit difficult to make out the spines on the photo but it might be clear to someone else.

If someone shows you a mark to fish, respect it and dont pass it of as one of your own, dont tell every man and his dog about it.

here's a thread that will help you identify the species (the thread wont identify them for you you have to download the booklets on the first post)
