You absolutely have your facts correct, If you are fishing Shelbyville. However the question from original poster was about mixing daily creel limits together, would you care to show me in some type of binding document from the Great Suburb of Chicago(sorry I meant Illinois, If you live below I-80 you will understand) that states that two people in a boat DO NOT have to separate catch by some means?
This thread is not about a pissing match in my mind, It's about avoiding a ticket even though you know you are legal!
