Isn't that posession?
I'm with you, I believe that is what the State calls posesson. I bet if you asked 10 differant FWC officers you would get 7 differant answers

There is an exception for culling during a tournament, if there is a waiver filed and granted for that tournament. The problem as I see it is there is no way to get past the slot limit rule. Any fish over 27" cannot be "possessed" , therefore, unless the law changes the Florida record cannot be broken.

This could have been a line class record - caught today with Capt Dini - Flywater Expeditions

"Wish we were fishing 20#. This one would have been a world record...
46.75" length
28.75 girth
Just shy of 43 lbs!!! This is an untouched iphone photo. Doesnt do the fish justice but you can see she's chunky..."
