Minnesota DNR website relaunch question

[centralmnguy]

So the DNR relaunched their HSOforum yesterday & I was checking it out...I am a little confused on one of the "General Regulations" under "Methods" reads like this:

Methods

How many lines can I fish with?

-You may use only one line during the open water season.

-You may use two lines through the ice except on designated trout lakes and streams.

-On designated trout lakes and streams, only one line is allowed at any time.

-Border waters and Lake Superior may allow more than one line.

What if people are fishing together from a boat or on shore?

-A party is two or more people fishing together from a single watercraft or on shore while maintaining unaided visual and vocal contact.

-The number of fish your party possesses cannot be more than the combined limits of all party members.

-However, you can only transport your individual limit of fish.

...the very last sentence says:

"However, you can only transport your individual limit of fish."

So if I am reading this correctly if my wife & I go fishing together & each limit out on walleyes (12 total/6 each)...I can only transport & bring home 6 as that is my individual limit?

My belief is that if you and your wife drove separately to the lake you can not take the bucket of fish home in your car as you will be in possession of 12 walleyes with your wife nowhere in sight.

That's exactly what it means. If you have multiple limits you need a legal fisherperson for each limit.

Ok that makes more sense...so if a buddy meets me at the access & drove separate & we can only transport our individual limit but if we drove together we can transport both our limits together.
