Treat it like a shark and thump it over the head with a club.
If you have a two piece paddle, you could probably pull it
apart and whack it with the stubby end of the paddle shaft.
Not the most graceful of techniques, then again, I don't 
have a graceful bone in my body...

If I was going to catch and release something like that, I'd
probably bring it in close, take a picture, and then cut the
line.  The hook will take care of itself in adequate time.
