when it's really sharky, get the fish out of the water as quickly as possible.
Welcome to ScubaBoard.
As already stated, you want them out of the water ASAP. Since you don't have anyone waiting above to retrieve your catch, another option that may help but definitely won't eliminate the situation entirely is to use a full-length nylon catch bag to minimize the water-to-blood exchange. Also, make sure your catch is DEAD. A half-alive quivering fish is a lot more enticing to Mr. Gray Suit than something that's not moving at all.
Something like this without the mesh at the bottom:
