I just label all my fish fillets as "Bream" on the outside of the ziploc. No posession limit on them babies. LOL.

Let's see...limit of 25 per day. 7 days. That's 175 trout. He said well over 200. He's just an outlaw.

So if you SO or wife is licensed you can double your possession? What about my 3-year-old?
This is odd.

No, i'm pretty sure it is. It says as much in the regs. Once you have it home, it no longer counts against the possession limit, with the exception of deer and turkeys, which actually have a season limit.

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.

f true that's retarded
I know and know of several people who were busted at a heliport for filets when returning from offshore with fish they caught out there.

what about a house boat
There is an exemption for fish that are going to be consumed onboard a boat. But that does not apply if the fish are transported from that houseboat.

Actually wildlife and fisheries doesn't need a warrant

Common misconception but untrue.
Here is a link to an article by a retired game warden on Louisiana sportsman. Louisiana Sportsman
In the article he states
quote:
We have as much authority for warrantless search as any other police officer; but not more so. The misunderstanding arises from the fact that a wildlife officer may search persons, game bags, coolers, boxes, baskets, compartments or anywhere else game or fish could be concealed when stopping someone in the act of hunting or fishing or immediately after such activity.

I think the filet in the freezer thing could easily be gone around.
"I only catch white trout officer."
Better question is would this extend to ducks and geese? Possession on specklebellies is 6 and I know there are more than 6 geese in my freezer right now.

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?

The law is applied according to who is licensed, not who actually catches the fish. Same in a boat. If the warden checks a bout with 3 fishermen in it, how does he know who caught what?

I think it's actually the same with migratory birds and any game. Possession limits are in your home as well. I don't the the laws expressly qualify possession other than having it in your possession so it is open to interpretation by the agent. They won't be searching your freezer unless they think you're a poacher and have a warrant.
