[Hanr3]

I have been hearing all sorts of horror stories about the new regulations. Took a bit, but I found the new regulations, link below.

First thing I noticed was Culling, then ALL hook and line tournaments MUST be Catch and Release.


CULLING
It is illegal to replace a smaller fish held in possession with a larger fish unless: the smaller fish is counted toward the daily limit or released within the confines of a bona-fide catch-and-release fishing tournament which requires the participants to have a boat live well with a pump constantly adding fresh or recirculating water.

TOURNAMENTS AND DERBIES (HOOK AND
LINE & BOWFISHING)
During fishing contests or events of any type (tournament, fish-off, or derby), the fish taken by the participants must be released into the waters from which they were taken immediately after the weigh-in, except of bowfishing tournaments where all fish legally taken by bowfishermen must be utilized or disposed of properly in accordance with ad rule 810. See sections 810.90 and 810.95 for specific regulatioms for tournaments.



IF I understand this correctly, all 7 Crappie must go back in the lake, even though I am allowed a 15 or 25 Crappie creel limit. Creel size depends on lake. I can catch 15 Crappie, weigh and release 7 and go home with 8?
