So it looks like Feelay could catch 50 fish with two clients in the USS FEELAY in the morning and go home, switch boats and pick up two different clients and legally catch 50 more in the afternoon since it's targeting "the boat".

Gray areas in the law for sure but I think we all know the intent. It's unfortunate that some folks can't play by the rules.

In this example Feelay himself is still legal because he is personally allowed 20 fish per day. He just happened to catch 10 in the morning and 10 later that day.

Think they should be on the look out for any truck with Mo. tags and a whirlpool dryer in the back.

The way the law is posted sounds like a back door way to discourage high volume guiding. A lot of hunters and fishermen don't realize that party hunting and fishing is illegal. For ducks, each hunter is legally permitted to shoot an aggregate limit of six ducks, whether they're hunting by themselves or in a ten man blind. The minute he shoots his seventh duck, he is breaking the law. Believe it or not, federal game wardens get real strange when birds are piled up amongst a group of hunters. By letter of the law, your personal harvest should be separate from others. Technically, the same goes for fish. Thank the lord federal game wardens aren't in the crappie and bream business...yet.

Going back to the boat rule- this seems to do two things at once- first it encourages party fishing without setting out to do so. Fifty fish per boat is fifty fish per boat regardless of what one angler catches himself, so focus on the boat limit rather than the personal one. Second, it targets guides. I worked as a guide for several years and never had a game warden raise an eyebrow when he saw client A with a limit of fish, then see client B with a limit of fish. That being said, I did not have a dog in the fight as I wasn't keeping anything.

Ssshhhhhhhhhh, dang it Mr. Jim, you ain't sposed to tell my secrets!!!!

The guys didn't drop a guy off on the bank. They simply didn't know about the new rule. They thought it was a 20 per person limit. I told them about the rule and they are going to comply with it.
