my mates not gona be happy

last weekend my mate got what he thought was his first size pinkie it went just under 50cm I measured it and said "bad news Allan its just under it has to go back" it went just under 50 cm " oh hell I hate fishing he says" (although he is addicted to fishing) , I was looking at the fish ruler a bit closer today and read the rest of the rule about pinkies the 50 cm rule applies only applies between lancelin and black point and inner gulfs of shark bay other wise the 41cm applies . cant wait to tell him don't think he will be happy ha ha we were fishing out from rockingham

 So I released a 46 and 49cm pinkies whilst in Cockburn sound the other night, because we were south of the 31 degree mark. Was this correct?
