Sharked

[Dogtoooth]

If you catch a large Spanish Mackerel or any large table fish that is clearly legal but bitten in half by a shark. Can you legally keep that fish?

[astro66]

Unfortunately common sense and discretiion have gone out the window these days so yes you will probably be fined.
Is it Bull*$@^??? Yes.

If it's dead there is no point in releasing it.

• must not return fish to a boat that have been taken ashore from a boat and filleted, unless the length of the fillet is at least 40 cm and skin and scales of the fillet is attached to the fillet

• remove the skin from a fish on a boat until the fish is brought to shore
• bring a fish ashore and remove its skin and return the fish to the boat
