Some places use a combination of minimum size and maximum size... a particular caught fish cannot be less than X inches nor more than Y inches... to deal with just the issue you raise. (There is also an issue where larger individuals account for a disproportionate amount of the young... it's a geometric curve, not a linear one.)
