Reading a post earlier brought a question to mind and considering the way our laws can be twisted around I think that it would be a good one for this forum.

Here is the scenario. You go out fishing, catch a legal sized crappie right off the bat and put it in your livewell. You fish for several more hours and catch nothing. The lone fish in your livewell is still healthy and releasable by your estimation.

Can you legally release that fish or could it fall under the no culling rule? Yes I know culling is releasing one fish to be replaced by another fish. But could it be construed a different way and end up biting you in the behind?
