Had a 4 pounder about a month ago in the bay. Tail was healed up and he fought good for a tailless fish

The fish went back. Not worth convincing F&G of your reasoning for keeping a 16.5" fish

I will say that fish fought really well and it moved differently as if it used it whole body. Sort of reminded me of that dolphin named Winter they made a movie about and how it learned to swim without a tail.
