It’s like fishing size restrictions. They are going to throw back anything that bites that is under a certain size. If you are a fish that wants to get caught and kept, deliberately taking yourself out of the keeper category isn’t a smart move. If you choose not to meet their requirements, expect to be thrown back. You may not like it, but those are the current rules of the sea.
