I assume by spiking, you are trying to instantaneously kill your fish......
I usually insert a knife between the eyes, at the top of the head, otherwise, when we catch carp we have a stick with a sharp point which is punched into the mouth of the fish, which is much better than the knife through the head. Otherwise anotehr method of killing fish is to grab the gills and lift the head backwards, hence snapping the neck, and bleeding the fish to death - also helps with better taste!!

SA - the land of the bigger fish. The fish on the east, measure the least, but if you head west, you'll be bringing in the best!!
