Culling - Limits - Fishing
It was explained to me once that if you have a tournament limit in the boat
and you catch a fish you must immediatley stop fishing and cull back down to the tournament limit. I can understand that if fishing solo or fishing a seperated pro am format since most tournament limits I have run across are one less than the legal possession limit. However in a team shared weight format the legal possession limit for the team is usually more than twice the tournament limit. I was told that in this circumstance both anglers must stop fishing until they have culled back down to a tournament limit. Is this standard? -- Bob La Londe Fishing Arizona & The Colorado River Fishing Forums & Contests http://www.YumaBassMan.com -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

John Interesting situation. You have actually broken the law if you have a limit of fish in the livewell and catch another fish. Between the time you land the fish and release the culled fish, you have overlimits. |

For instance in mst Az tournaments the limit is five, but the state possession limit is six per individual. It is done that way on purpose. -- Bob La Londe Fishing Arizona & The Colorado River Fishing Forums & Contests http://www.YumaBassMan.com -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
Culling - Limits - Fishing
Here is what the Florida Fish and Wildlife folks have to say:
Is culling allowed?--Answer: The rules are different in fresh water and salt water. Culling has always been allowed in fresh water provided that released fish are alive and that culling is done immediately. The rationale in part is biological but in part historical. Recreational fishing has been regulated for much longer in fresh water than in salt water, partially because of perceived impacts on the resource (some people used to think the oceans were too large to be impacted by recreational fishing or management efforts). Culling was allowed very early on in fresh water and became widely accepted as a fresh water practice throughout the nation for both individual anglers and tournament anglers when live wells became common. Wanton waste rules continue to prohibit discarding dead fish to deliberately replace them with a larger live one. Remember that fish that are illegal to possess because of species, size or bag limits cannot be kept, even if they died or are likely to die as a result of catching them, consequently they must be released. |
