I think if you put it in the gill and out the mouth and start to lift it will slide down to a point near the mouth. I think that is one slot.

I can't imagine this would be good for a fish, but it appears that is how its designed to be used.
Last thing you want is to injure a fishes gills IF your doing catch and release.
