None for me by your definition. I caught 27 the other day, but I had my 3 year old with me so technically the limit was 50.

Catching a limit of blues isn't that hard on most the lakes with good blue cat populations provided you are prepared with proper sized baits rods ect to detect lite bites but can also handle a good fish when he hammers the rod
What lake ya fishin?

We catch our limit more times than not but up here the limit is 15 per person. We have caught the 25 per person limit in Texas several times but have never kept a fish from Texas waters of any size. We catch plenty of eaters for fish fry's around home.

Let's see here how many lakes have I caught limits from just blues for everyone on the boat ect.....

Arrowhead
Kickapoo
Graham
Hubbard creek
Stamford
Arkansas river
Brazos river
Trinity river
Texoma
Tawakoni
Martin creek
Eagle mountain
Possum kingdom

Do I need to keep going because I can, you can't expect to catch limits if your throwing 2lb baits, if you want limits you down size and adjust for each lake to match the situation

It's time on the water learning how to read the water and giving yourself the best opportunity to catch fish by watching the weather knowing the structures in a lake inflow and discharges of water rate of flowing water ect ect ect

Your best bet is to start a journal and every trip make an entry location of spots wind direction speed cloudy clear ect air temp and water temp time of day so on and so forth don't leave any details out

For example I know the last 2 years in January or early February I would have to look at my logs, dean and I in 2012 caught close to a full 2 man limit in approx 18 hours total fishing in light rain water temps were mid to high 40's only 2 species of fish caught, 12lb flathead and blues up to 40lbs almost exactly a year later I went fishing with 2 other gentleman and we fished a different section of the river in ice rain must snow sleet and temperatures starting in the 70's and by the time we left the temperature was 27 degrees water temp was 41 degrees we caught a dozen blues up to 15lbs and a flat that went 25lbs

From January till spawn I expect to see 20/25 blues every time out. Now and then it won't happen but more often than not during this time I see this many fish. Better days during this time will I will see many more. I don't care if I'm by myself or have couple other folks with me. The number I expect to see and the goal is 20 to 25 fish. Catches are usually higher during this time.
After the spawn I can not consistently get large numbers of fish. 10 to 12 fish is a pretty fair day for me after spawn and through summer. I will make a point to go when the water is on the rise during the summer and I expect large numbers again. I always target trophies with 2 or 3 poles and just average fish with the others. Start catching a bunch and I will swap most every line over to trophy sized baits. I'm more interested in big fish than numbers but for years I have fished to locate fish then I swap over most all my lines for trophy fishing.
I usually have a game plane as to how to approach the fish and where I think they will be. I don't stick hard to this but start out doing it. During winter to spawn, catching 3 fish an hour is pretty slow for my liking and Iwill move for something better, depending on lake I am on of course.

Not at all implying this is true but it helps me catch fish. It is the thought process I use. 90% of the fish are in 10% of the water. Not at all saying this is so, just saying this is how I fish sooooo much of the time.

Don't blow that 90% 10% thing out of context. It's not literal. It's just a mentality i take to fishing.

Zero, but I haven't been able to run trot lines, jug lines, limb lines, etc yet. Still just bank fishing.
