Well it took a while but I finally got an answer from the MDNR Law expert. Below is the answer I received. This is regarding the season possession limit. The person that responded is Walter Elyse (WalterE@michigan.gov) with the law division of the DNR. For those that were not involved in the original post it all started with a discussion on possession limits. Some guys thought that you were only allowed to keep 3 days worth of fish and I stated that the 3 days possession was only while in transit and that you could keep as many fish as you wanted at home as long as you followed all daily and possession limits. The possession limit only applies while in transit from fishing area to your home. For instance when you go up north fishing you can only possess 3 daily limits of fish but once they are in your home freezer you can go fishing again catch another limit, add it to your home freezer and you would be Ok.
"Sorry for the lengthy wait on a response. I passed this question to our law expert who has been very busy and just received the following response from him on this issue:
I do not think that what a person has at home counts toward the possession limits. So, if I am reading this person’s email correctly, I believe what the CO told him is correct."
