The regs are pretty straightforward, keep a cut between 15-22" and you get a ticket. No provision is made for the condition of the fish, just release it. It is difficult to leave a fish laying there in the water you know is dead (or will be shortly), however, for enforcement reasons, the regs have to be the way they are. Catch 'em over 22" if you want to keep them!
