[QUOTE="Allen, post: 410452, member: 389"] It's in the section you posted on Possession Limit. You are allowed to have two daily possession limits to reach your overall Possession Limit. Thus, you are allowed to legally transport twice your daily possession limit on a multi-day trip. But like I said, I probably wouldn't want to have the fileted fish from yesterday in my boat cooler. That's pretty much a gray area that could lead to a ticket. Often thought the same thing for campers who are shorefishing. If you caught a limit yesterday, and then had a limit today on a stringer...it would seem up to a warden's discretion on whether to give you a hard time about being in possession of two daily limits while still actively camping, or maybe even fishing for another species. Nonetheless, it could be a difficult conversation if the warden, for whatever reason, claims you had only been fishing one day. In court though, it's pretty hard to prove a negative (that you hadn't been fishing the day before). Back in the good old days, we used this concept heavily when paddlefish rules allowed one per day with a possession limit of two. You'd go fishing Friday night, hopefully catch a fish before midnight, and then start fishing again after midnight. Of course, nowadays the daily and possession limits for paddlefish are one fish...not to mention all the other changes in the rules. The wardens were right there at most all hours of the day to keep an eye on us. [/QUOTE]
