Maybe I'm missing the point, but a limit is a limit, regardless of method used to get it. I mean there is a daily creel limit, and the biologists determine what the waters you fish can stand. I don't see the difference in catching 20 fish on 4 poles rigged with 6 hook, flame-tailed blue squealers vs. catching 20 fish on 1 pole with a minnow and slip float.
