Only in a few places, has the state of Pennsylvania, have they lowered the limits on some pan fish, a few years ago. Have seen many fish, till they fill a three or five gallon bucket is full, before they quit for the day, which might be from dawn to dusk, and no ice on them either. There have been some who have questioned a 50 per day limit on pan fish, and the state doesn't seem to care. My self, don't keep more than ten at a time, nor do I want to keep and clean 50 at one time.
