Hey Jeff,
Many of the clipped fish only have a partially clipped fin and are legal to keep. A true native will have a fully developed adipose fin and planted cutts come with the adipose fin all the way clipped off on some fish all the way up to half clipped off with other fish. If in doubt it's wise advise to toss it back, but if the adipose fin is only partially there it is a safe bet that it is a planter.
