Undersized...pffft, dont stress too much mate. While I am a great advocate for responsible fishing I'm not going to get on my moral high horse and bag ya out over one undersize fish. I mean, we've all had times when your goggles are filled up with water and you've got sand in you jocks and in the heat of the moment youve speared a tad pole.
Its the law of the sea I say. Still, better to leave the small ones and the protected ones back in davey jones locker if ya do muck up. Better than fealing the full wrath of the fisheries when you return to shore with the evidence (I've still never seen them though).
