The way I do it is: The captain of the boat is responsible for violations. So he sets the rules on what size can be kept (for example, don't keep anything under 11" even if 10" is the minimum limit), and has to monitor the count. Yes, it's more responsibility, but the captain is already responsible for everything else on his boat. Just add this to the list of responsibilities. I expect the same when I'm on another's boat. It's just the way I do it.

I always wondered if this happened until I was stationed in Alaska. They take their game laws very seriously. They have no problems using binos, hiding in the brush, etc... and catching you doing something illegal. They will measure hook gap at some locations. Up there, you can apply to fish by proxy. If granted, you can catch a limit for someone else. Bottom line: the limits were set per person, not per boat or group. If I'm fishing with you and you keep trying to catch my limit, I may have a problem with that. I used to use catching my limit as a signal to sit down and have a beer and a cigar. Great way to pass time until someone catches one or two more. Yeah, have been fishing with a guide in Alaska. He kept careful count of each persons's individual catch, and when a given fisherman hit their limit of coho, he took that persons rod out of the water.

Wow, this is so simple it's crazy. They make nylon stringers that cost less than 50 cents most places. Someone claim the cooler, usually the best fisherman and lets them fly, the other guys just put theirs on yellow, red, or blue stringers and then throw the stringer in the cooler too. Now everyone knows how many fish they have, if the GW stops you and says how many fish you catch, to the guy in the back of the boat, he says mine are on the blue stringer, he pulls out the blue one and theirs 12, simple. Why make this harder than it is, everyone has their own personal limit. It's not a community effort! It's the law!!! They can't trust everyone on what they say! Other simple way is if two people are in boat with a livewell and it has a divider than each use their own side of livewell. On to next topic
I told my boss I wouldn't be in today, I got my arm in a cast!!!

No need to seperate fish. Put them all in one cooler. If you have 3 guys and the game warden asks you to identify your fish, then each guy claims every 3rd fish. Fisherman 1 identifies the first fish pulled out of the cooler as his. Fisherman 2 says the second fish is his, and the 3rd guy claims the 3rd fish. Then back to fisherman 1 for fish number 4. Fish 5 is the 2nd guys, and so on. Problem solved. Who is the game warden to tell you that your fish are not separated in the same cooler. They are seperated, but they are sharing ice.

If you ride to the lake with me and we get stopped coz you arent wearing a seatbelt, who gets the ticket?
If it were "required" then he would have ticket you for whatever infraction you broke. Must not have been as required as he thought it was huh?
