Very good point.
A nother is that if you live on a boat If I read the regs right......you can fish and eat one days bag limit and have one in the freezer and one on ice.
Or you can look at it this way. Regarding helth. Due to suggested consumption rates two things come to mind. One you are supposed to only eat so much La. Fish per month. Two some people if freezing large quantitys of fish become complacent and do it wrong. Resulting in spoiled fish. With the possibility of food poisoning increased by large quantitys it seems regulating the limit of fish in position negates or just lowers the possibility of helth issues from mercury or other Hevey metals and or pathogens.
Best thing I can say is treat the regs like going shopping at the store. Let's say you like eggs as much as you like fish. You going to buy 12 dozen eggs and store um or even bread like twelve lofes.hummmm. I like eggs and bread but I like fresh eggs and fresh bread. So I buy one each. And don't eat eggs every day.then go to da sto when I am about to run out.
I like fish most of all but it really is better fresh. And I would eat it every day but one species of fish dulls the pallet. So I go fishing for what I can. If I limit on one species I look for another. And to fish for one like red fish and feel I should be able to keep more happens but I remind my self fresh is better than frozen and that bigger is better and that verity is the spice of life.
.......
Good luck guys
Save your receipts , label your frozen catches,and don't freeze a species and catch more then eat the new fresh and leave the old to long.
The reasons behind bag limits and position limits are numerous . Wether to watch out for you or the species they also garrote we all can have the same chance to eat well after a day of fun and that we don't over do it.
