It says as much in the regs.


You'll have to post a link, because I can't find anything of the sort. All I find is the typical 1 day worth "on the water" and 2 days worth "on land". Last I check, my freezer is in land. If the reg does not specifically describe the act of possessing to mean while transporting to your residence, the against or agency can pretty much interpret it as whatever the decide.

That being said, they would have to have your consent to search your residence, I would think, unless they have a warrant.

I know in regard to migratory birds, that is the rule. Once it's at your home, possession limits no longer apply. Otherwise, you could nail a lot of people for the doves or ducks in their freezers.

I've always just figured it applied to fish as well.

I mean hell, lets say you have 3 licensed anglers living in one house (a father and 2 sons for example). Let's say there are 75 trout in the freezer. How do you know whether those fish were caught by the 3, and not by one person? Are they in violation?
