Other commenters have posted good links, but in very large fish such as tuna, you can see macroscopic effects of this muscle degradation.[1] It's not so much an effect of the "stress hormones" in the body as just the fish overexerting itself as it flounders about in the boat, while also asphyxiating. And you're right about the spinal cord still being able to send signals to the body without the brain, which is why the full procedure is not only to destroy the brain but also the spinal cord, by inserting a rod or monofilament down the length of the spine.
