As far as I'm aware you can't cut the tails and fins off until landed.
I tend to just cut head off and gut. Takes up less room in cooler and less waste to get rid of later

Re: Bleeding gummy's
Keith gummies and schoolies can have the tail and head removed ( you must leave the last gill slot ) - that is the reason that the measurement is from the last gill slit to the tail -- removing the tail and head still leaves the carcass at full length so fisheries can measure the fish if they need to do solaneends wrote:As far as I'm aware you can't cut the tails and fins off until landed.

"Carcass (sharks including elephant fish): The body of a shark or elephant fish which is not cut or mutilated in any manner other than to remove the gut and head forward and clear of the rear-most gill slit." ........cheaterparts wrote:Keith gummies and schoolies can have the tail and head removed ( you must leave the last gill slot ) - that is the reason that the measurement is from the last gill slit to the tail -- removing the tail and head still leaves the carcass at full length so fisheries can measure the fish if they need to do solaneends wrote:As far as I'm aware you can't cut the tails and fins off until landed.

I took that to mean fins and tail have to stay. But I agree with your point about it not being necessary for size, neither are the fins, so never really understood it.
