I find the easiest way is to just break their neck with your hands.  Pulling back their head also tears there gills causing them to be blead.  This only works for smaller salmon like pinks as it will be too difficult with the bigger ones.  Watch out for blood though.

Lowlight,  the objective of this method is to cut what is equivalent to jagular veins.  It is connected to the upper end of the gills.  If you caught a fish and bonked it, you can have a real close look by disecting that part of its anatomy.  I use this method because I think it minimize the pain that the fish endure and the fish gets to bleed out.

I grab their gills and just rip them out. It kills them and bleeds them all at the same time. This works for all salmon species.

The trick is to pick the rock out right when you get to the fishing spot.  Then it's whackity-whack!!! till it quivers, grab a fist full of gills and yank!  10 second tops.
