Tn possession law includes your freezer.I called them about the white bass & striper laws and they said all there laws include your freezer.They however did state before hanging up (whats the odds of us checking your freezer) now you can take that whichever way you like,but I took it as if you give us no reason if the field to think you broke/break any laws why would I goto your home to check.

Is there any species that doesn't have a catch limit there? I know you can only keep 30 crappies per day but what about the catfish, bluegills, yellow stripes, and pickeral? Are there bag limits for them too? I know you can keep 10 bass and 6 sauger.
Up here in PA, we have a very generous bag limit of 50 panfish in any congrgate, 6 walleye, 6 bass, 2 musky or pike or 1 of each, and 2 striped bass. You can fill a freezer pretty fast up here. I've never got a grand slam in one day. The day's not long enough to catch all those limits.:D

It depends on the water you're fishing...the regulations book you get when you get your license is a TINY fraction of what the book really is and some regulations aren't very clear...in one part of the book it'll tell you one thing , but read differently in another part of the book. As far as possession goes , whether in the field or not, you are only allowed twice the daily creel limit of any given species.
