They have two spines, one behind each dorsal fin. Its rearmost one that gets most guys, but I have seen guys get it from the forward one as well. Just be very careful handling them. Stepping on thier tail while trying to unhook them is one way to reduce the risk.

If they bite you, they can cut you, smooth dogfish (the ones without the spines) too.
