It's just my personal rule but I won't continue to fish with a limit of fish in the boat. I will fish with one or two less fish than the limit and swap out the smaller ones with larger fish as they are caught. Technically, if you have a limit in your possession and continue to fish you are in violation and can receive a fishing award from the game officer. I will not give them the chance to do that.....they might be having a bad day when I am checked and decide to take it out on everyone they see! I play by the rules when on the water.....it keeps everyone happy. LOL !! There have been days where I caught multiple limits of great fish and kept ten or less because that was all I needed or wanted to mess with that day. Most of those would have been the ones that would have died anyway if released. Didn't go home with a limit but still happy for a good day!
