Possession Limit clarification?

[Duayne]

Great answer GeoFisher. You nailed it.

This limit is for one person...correct? So if you are fishing with someone else or a couple other guys you can 2-3x these numbers.

Geo~ I'm pretty sure the DNR puts on the latex gloves as soon as you hit the ramp.....lol. No respect and NO lube for you buddy. Mr. I do jetski donuts while my fishing partner fetches the truck/trailer. Also, tight leather chain vests and pants are not approved team outfits for tournaments...lol. You look like one of The Village People bro.

I don't know of a rule that is not per person.

Of course this is impossible to police. I think it is a case where the rules are in place and people are expected to abide by them even though it is almost impossible to check.

What if you live right by the lake, and liked to keep crappie in the freezer for one or two big fish frys a year? Does the possession limit only count from lake to house? Are all rules off once you get home?

[Duayne]

Yes. As long as a trip ends. Once you reach your permanent home your trip is over.

[JoeSkeeter]

They way I understand it is in your freezer the count starts over.

[Col Forbin]

Well then, I have a freezer real close to Ky lake if anyone ever has too many. LOL. I will never turn down some crappie fillets.

The possession limit is intended to address the situation where an angler fishes overnight and, technically, is fishing in two different days once the clock passes midnight. In that case, the next morning he can have two limits in his possession because he has just finished fishing during two different calendar days.

Hope this helps.

This subject was addressed on the KY Afield call-in show. Creel limit is the number of fish you can keep in a day. Possesion limit is the maximum number of fish you can have in your possesion while in the field, i.e. still fishing with your fishing equiptment in hand, coming home from said fishing trip. The possesion limit DOES NOT apply to how many fish, rabbits, anything that has a creel or posession limit that you have in your freezer.
