Just a fun fishing report!

I think I agree as well. I don't think catching more than your limit and giving them away is following the regulations. I get that trout are put and take, but what if someone went around the lake catching largemouth or smallmouth and giving them away so they could keep fishing? I think we'd all have a problem with that.

where were you catching them? I have had zero luck at Jacobson and Minga, and talking to some of the other fisherman there the bite has been tough for them also.

To me, it's alright to give away fish as long as everyone you give them to has a trout permit and only keeps their limit. I don't think that the state administers a creel limit by assuming that most anglers won't catch and keep a limit. It would only make sense that the regulations are put in place while assuming that almost everyone will take a limit out of the lake. While I do think that it is technically illegal to give away fish in this manner, I don't think people that do it have done anything wrong.

Ive witnessed something similiar with the musky in Green River Lake where your daily limit is one, and i watched the ticket being wrote by a game warden that was watching from a distance. So to answer the question, yes it is illegal

Fishin is life is correct. So if you really want that ticket keep doing what you are doing. The bigger surprise may come when a game warden charges you for each fish over, Have seen it done sauger fishing
