Don't think there is a limit other than a daily limit.
Doubt they will come in your house and check your freezer.
It is actually twice the daily limit per fishing license!!!
I looked and couldnt find that anywhere. It is on game but I couldnt find it on fish.Quote:

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:dono
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.Quote:

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.
