either grab it by the gill plate or get your hand in its mouth and grab the lower jaw. I typically fish eels and grab the leader, slide my hand down towards the head then grab the lip.
If using plugs you can do something similar, but watch out for the trebles.
always make sure where you grab will be hook free.

how ever droning over it in my head i'm starting to realize the gill plate is probably the only option as far ways to hoist it up. i could in theory drag it up in most cases. but if my line snapped at my feet, i'd have a conniption.
