That's odd, I've NEVER been told (or had a problem) with MUST keep separate. I don't know any boats with three livewells either. We (wife, two boys, myself) have been checked on our pontoon with all of our fish in one LARGE livewell and never had an issue?
Also I'm unable to find anything even suggesting they can't all be in one livewell as has been stated here?
From the KDFWR website
Q: How is a daily creel limit
different than a possession limit?
A: The daily creel limit is the
number of a particular sport fish
species you may keep in one day’s
fishing.
A possession limit is two
times the daily creel limit for all fish
species with a daily creel limit and
excludes processed fish.
