    Default Possession limits?


    How many Shelbyville crappie can I have in my freezer? Been pounding out limits everyday for the last 2 weeks! Most have been caught from the bank. It's been great fishing

    Don't think there is a limit other than a daily limit.

    Doubt they will come in your house and check your freezer.

    I'm with clfarms, I couldn't find a possession limit anywhere. There is for waterfowl but I say load up the freezer with fish, there is no where that says you cannot

    but how many fish do you need unless your having a big fish fry. If you have taken a limit for 14 days that is 420 filets. just say in

    If I feel like cleaning fish I clean em and keep whats legal up to the limit. Some times there may be 1000 filets in my freezer and sometimes there are none. I share fish out of our with a lot of folks who cant fish any more, share a lot of fish with folks that are able but just don't have time, they clean. This year I have put up very few because I have had guests in the boat with me and they took the fish.
    Point is, what difference does it make how many fish anyone else has in their freezer as long as it was done legal, their business not mine.

    I should come over and take a few bags so you don't get thrown in jail or have them confiscated.

    There are numerous lakes and rivers in Illinois that have no size or creel limits on crappie. How can they impose a possession limit for your freezer? I have yet to meet a CPO that can come to a house, check the freezer, and determine from which waters the crappie were caught. Only daily limits from a given lake can be enforced.
