It took me a long time to figure out how to "brain" a fish. I think it's because a majority of the spearos on DB are english so their advice is geared towards fish in UK waters. Here in the Baja the more common fish have insanely hard skulls so the "braining" is actually wedging your knife in between two vertebrae near the base of its skull and then twisting it. It is pretty easy and parylizes the fish until it dies from its wounds.
hope that helps.
