Never been bitten by a blue, lucky I suppose for all of them I caught. Use to grab plug and lift them out of the water, which is a stoopid act in and of itself. Then I would place them down and take out hook. Did this when my reflexes were sharp as anything. I have seen many people with multiple stitches in the back of the hand from bad dealings with them critters though. I am extremely careful now. A bad cut from one of those fishes could get you a lot more than stitches and lay you down for the season.
