True.

You can not have possession limit in livewell. Alive is considered days catch.

True again.

Can have a limit in cooler on ice and a limit in livewell.

Not true, at least in Florida. This will get you busted and fined.

Processed cleaned and frozen does not apply to possession limit unless you transport again.

Again, no so in Florida.

I posted the actual law. I'm not sure where you got all the "cleaned and frozen" exceptions you mentioned. It is NOT in the law, again, posted above. If you have any specific cites where what you say above can actually be seen, I would appreciate a look.

Again, I'm not going to go back and forth on this on an internet forum. I have a neighbor who's an FWC officer, I'll fess up and give him permission to search my freezer next time I see him and report back.

If there were 7 guys on the boat, it no doubt got to the point only a few were fishing, with others keeping up on the count and whatever.
And not necessarily as in "thats the last one for you Joe".
Awfully hard to control this type thing without boat limits, and otherwise they broke no law.

Better yet, just ask him where in the law it says you can have an unlimited number of gamefish in your possession, as long as they are frozen.

The law doesn't grant permissions, it restricts.

[FONT="]Things to keep in mind are: Once the fish are processed and placed in a freezer (not a cooler) at a residence (e.g., their permanent home, a mobile home or motel catering to anglers), they become a food product. From that point on there is no longer a limit on them. So for instance, if someone is fishing all winter and keeps processing their catch and adding fish to their freezer, then puts them on ice to transport someplace else, they can exceed the possession limit. Hopefully this clarifies the confusion you had about transporting. If you have further questions, please contact the Division of Freshwater Fisheries Management at 850-488-0331 or the Division of Marine Fisheries Management at 850-487-0554.

Maybe highlighting will help you. And I am done with this one.
