Stickler fish possession question...

I was paging through a Minnesota outdoors magazine that had an article on Clear Lake in Waseca and there was a "grab 'n grin" picture of a guy with ten crappies on the ice and an eleventh in his hand. Assuming he was really on a Minnesota Lake and that he released the fish he was holding, was he still over his limit in the picture?

He had 10 crappies and that's his limit. 11 is one over. Once you reach your limit you are supposed to stop fishing or target another speicies. If you want to continue to target crappie, you can only have 9 on the ice cuz the #10 you catch is your limit.

I know nothing about the situation so it's possible that he caught his crappie limit, and started to target walleye. He then caught another crappie, took it's picture, and released it. If that is the case he is legal. If he was actually targeting crappie with 10 on the ice he is in violation.

Personally I highly doubt a CO would push this one. It seems we get our bunns in a bind over some pretty trivial things. So he is technically over his limit for 30 seconds, big deal! I don't see anything wrong with catch and release after you have your limit. Why not be allowed to enjoy the fishing?

On second thought, I suppose if the ones you have in possession are all dead and you hook another one in such a way that it too will die. You can't legally keep it so you are forced to throw a dead fish overboard.

This brings up another question. Suppose you have a possession limit at home in your freezer. Would it then be unethical to go out and enjoy some catch and release?

Ok here's another one: I go out alone and bring back ten crappies. I give the crappies to my wife (who is a licensed angler) and have her clean 'em and put them in the freezer. So now the crappies are in her possession. Could I then go out and bring back another ten crappies, or would that be "double dipping"?

I'm sure that's called double dipping! grin.gif

Just that in party fishing,...,you help me in any manner,...I consider your license as part of our limit, while on the water. grin.gif But I'll kick you in the shins, if you come out and tell me, 'yeah I've got my limit yesterday and I'm out to fish for you.' mad.gif

Your fine Carp. Although it's never happened, I could technically have a limit of crappie in the freezer for everyone in my household. Of course they have to be licensed or under the age of 16.

Was it a self taken picture? Otherwise, I would assume the picture taker was on the ice and was (hopefully legally) fishing with the person in the pic, thus giving them a limit of 20 between them, right?

Good point. There could have been more than one person fishing. buns coming unbinded grin.gif

I don't know about that being double dipping,but if you bring your fish home for your wife to clean and put away.

I'll second that!!! grin.gif

Yeah well that was very hypothetical. I've been tempted to try the "Hey Woman get in the kitchen and clean those fish...I'm going fishing again..." thing but I've never gathered the courage or stupidity to try it. cool.gif

OK... So like umm.... I am on a cruise ship, yeah thats right a cruise ship. We are in the Pacific ocean. I like, umm, I catch my limit of blue finn tuna and have them in the freezer by noon. But then they announce at 1PM that we just crossed the international date line and it is now tommorow. Can I go fishing for them again as long as I do not surpass my posession limit? grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

I'll "third" that!!! I am still trying to teach my other half how to clean fish!! Her argument, although a good one, is: you used to clean fish as part of a job, therefore, you're quicker and better! I can't argue with that logic, but it is nice on a blustery winter day to have help getting them done!!!

Carp-Fisher,

Absolutey, that is "double dipping" if you are going out to fish again on the SAME day - (daily limit). You'll have to read the DNR handbook on transferring fish, not sure how that would work - but I'm guessing you'd be OK to go out again the next day.

It would be against the daily limit law to take two limits of crappies in a twentyfour hour period unless your wife came with and caught the second limit herself.Maybe if she caught her own she would be more keen on cleaning them?c63 grin.gif

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
