I think weighing the lead and subtracting it from the total is acceptable in the future but making a rule retroactive in the middle of a tourney is not acceptable. If this was an unknown or even known but unliked person , that fish would have been disqualified.
Anyway , good plan for the future to simply gut them and subtract unnatural stuff's weight but to change the rule now in the middle of the tourney is poor judgement IMO.
