I don't see how? If you have two legal anglers then it should be two limits...right? How many boats have more than one livewell? Some boats don't even have a livewell....I don't see how it matters as long as the catch is legal and the length and creel limits are followed per angler.

I don't believe you have to have the fish in seperate livewells. I will see if I can get a 100% answer on this tomorrow from KDFWR.

You can have them in one livewell. It is a posession limit and there are two of you in posession.

You can have them in one livewell. It is a posession limit and there are two of you in possession.

It looks like to me that the possession limit would be in effect in this situation anyway ....I'm not sure how the possession limit works but if you catch a limit of a species one day and a limit the next aren't you allowed to keep them? ...This could throw monkey wrench in the croppie fishing for the guys that catch 50 or 60 and they both want to keep their fish.

If that were true a lot of my panfish fishing guide friends would not be in business.

Seems like some dont agree. The rule says you have a daily creel with a possesion limit. If the creels are not seperated how can anyone prove their creel? Is it legal for someone to help someone else in the same boat catch his limit? Im just asking is all.

I think the hunting/fishing info gets crossed.

When taking the Hunter Education Class with my son a few years ago, we were told that when dove hunting, each had to have his own pile. If there were any piles with more than a daily limit, somebody was going to get ticketed.

Fish are not the same. Two legal fishermen in a boat means two daily limits in the livewell max. Any more and somebody is going to get a ticket.

Thanks for all the feedback .The reason I asked ,is someone told me they had over 30 white 's in the livewell and were checked by INdiana DNR at the New Albany ramp and the officer gave him a warning & told him only one limit of a species in a one live well or basket

Yep, how can you explain to him which ones you caught without proof.

If this were true how could a striper guide on Cumberland take out more than one person at a time. If he had 2 legal fish and 3 paying clients then they would have to quit fishing. And they only have 1 livewell.
