Proceed to measure the doubtful fish.

Remove hands from fish.
If the fish does not measure call the club captain to verify your decision that it is undersize.
If he disputes the decision the Competition secretary should be called to adjudicate.
He should apply the same process & make a decision.
If there is still a dispute then the bag is impounded & a dispute’s committee meeting called.
Their decision is final.
Note - other than the measurer & the competition Secretary no other person is to touch the disputed fish at the weigh in.
