Actually, the wardens only agree with this if the cleaned fish are not in your boat, otherwise, they count them against that day's limit.

Can't think of any exceptions to the rule where fish must be landed in whole condition for ID and measurement purposes. In other words, no filleting on board.

Sometimes I camp and don't really have anywhere to comfortably clean fish that would be the only situation where the possession rule could give me issues.

One time I went back to back days forgot to take to cooler from the first day out of the truck, so I remembered on the way down pulled over on the side of the road and hid the cooler in the woods until we came back through.

As far as catch and release goes, I release plenty with the redfish bag limit only being one...

It was not intentional. I have had friends busted for having filet fish on board, so I was just trying to make sure that was understood.

I remember fishing in the Rock The Dock (two-day) tournament a few years back - when the daily red limit was still 2 per person - and getting really worried all of a sudden while driving towards second day weigh-in.

I had two reds from that day in one cooler on the front seat...but forgot to take a cooler out of the back of my station wagon that still held one red from the previous day's fishing. Figuring that with my luck I'd get busted by FWC at a weigh-in checkpoint, I immediately pulled over and offered one red to a roadside cane-poler at the St Marks Refuge. She mistook my paranoia for generosity.
Was she hot atleast
