This is one of those "great taste, less filling" debates. After accidentally tearing some gills from a schoolie, I let it go. Somehow the current kept it near the rock, and after about a minute of floating I gaffed it. Illegal - yes. Immoral - not im my opinion. Yes, something would have eaten it, but I put my needs above those of crabs and bacteria. There's plenty of other dead stuff in the ocean for the scavengers to eat.
Anyway, everything is illegal. Use your best judgement.
