I would be sure of it, in islander communities they prefer the smaller and younger specimens of most species as they taste better. Anything big is not always well regarded, the term being an “oven fish”. My view is you have to think what you will do with it if you shoot it and at times settled for something more realistic for storage capacity and eating. As my Dad sometimes said, "don't bother shooting another one of those".
