I used to use a metal scewer pushed through a wine cork for my handle. Good for fish like herring whiting tailer etc and not oversize.

Otherwise I cut the old throat and if possible snap the neck back and watch the blood squirt out!

And the soon er you get your fish on ice the less the blood gets into the flesh.
