Message: <blockquote data-quote="Allen" data-source="post: 410448" data-attributes="member: 389">Technically speaking, if you gift a fish to a person, whether it's on the water or cleaned in a ziploc bag, it counts as a fish in both of your daily and possession limits.  Not only that, but you are supposed to supply the person you gift the fish to with a letter stating the date and the amount of fish you have gifted.How many of us have had a day where we only caught one keeper and at the end of the day you give it to the guy at the ramp who was heading home with 4 fish?  Yep, illegal as hell without said letter. So, if you gift a package of 6 fish pieces to the little old lady down the street, you have also just made her a lawbreaker if she doesn't have a fishing license.Now, do we have wardens out busting little old ladies and the people that donate a meal of fish to them?  No, can't recall anyone ever getting busted for that, but that doesn't mean it can't happen.These "new" rules about zippering walleye filets and gifting requirements are excessive.Straight from the proclamation:Any fish (whole and/or fillets) may be given (gifted) to another individual, but the fish must be counted in the donor’s daily limit. Individuals who receive gifted fish may not exceed the possession limit while the fish are being transported.Gifted fish, including packages of fish, must be accompanied with the following information from the individual gifting the fish: name, fishing license number, phone number, date, species and number of fish gifted.Except for legally gifted fish, it is illegal to possess or transport another individual’s game fish or parts thereof without the license holder accompanying or as otherwise permitted.</blockquote>

Verification: What is the most common fish caught on this site?
