easiest way to unhook them is to grab the tail and pull them on you, preferably upside down, then pop the hook out and let 'em back in. pretty simple.

I grabbed the tail, but couldnt reach the head area like usual. Either that it was a lengthy fella or i have short arms

...I don't. For some reason they always end up rolling out of my hands. I calmly take them by the pec fin and roll the on their back. They go dormant and are easy to deal with. This is one I released last year that way.
