You whack the fish on the head, above the eyes, with a billy, a little weighted club or a short piece of pipe.
Then you use one of those long nose vicegrips to grab the shaft of the hook and extract it.
If the fish is too nasty, you just cut the wire leader off, or snap it off if you are using the quikrelease type.
Sometimes you need on of those foot long hook extractors, for hooks that are in really deep.
