It needs to be gutted immediately and have its cavity packed with ice especially if you are going to eat the tuna as sashimi.

dont plunge a knife anywhere. especially in the good head meat.
do like flap said and cut there throat while the hearts still pumpin' and hang them bye the tails to bleed.
don't kill them right away. bleed them out til the heart stops beating.
then gut them, remove head/gills/guts. then ice them down good.
