Ok, I too was trying to understand the original poster trying to

Germany, too, I believe. And some countries don't (or didn't at my
last information) allow catch and release fishing. If you catch it,
you take it home with you. I don't know what they do about size
restrictions or even if they have any. I know that some of the
private waters have number of fish per species limits and assume that
all or most of the countries do, too. And I believe there's on
country (Germany comes to mind) where you have to pass a test to get
your basic license.

Sort of like the difference in the Internet here and 'over there'. In
many places every byte and bit you download is counted, where in the
US, as far as I know, we have, at most, number of hour limits until
you get to some of the specialized ones where people download binaries
by the ton. My present ISP just went from 200 hours / month for
dialup users to unlimited. They'd had DSL users unlimited from the
start. So even though editing posts is merely good manners in the US,
it's saving money in other countries.
