Daily limit and possession limit clarification needed

[dan hufferd]

I know this is a dumb question, and I would like to start out by saying that I have never taken home more than my daily limit.

What is a possession limit? Scenario... 3 people in the boat all catching walleye, the daily limit for each is four, but the possession limit is eight, how many can you keep 12, 8, 24 ?  

Can you take some back to your camp site, put them in the cooler and go out for more or are you done for the day?

I know I have opened up a can of worms here, I figure there are others in the same boat.

I would think you could take 12 home but after reading this I don't know. http://huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/fishing/regulations/possession-and-length-limits

Daily & Possesion limits apply to the individual not the boat. Keep your fish separate from the others and your fine.

Daily is 4 possession is 8 for walleye I am still confused sorry

I think you can keep 4 each day and only have a total of 8 fish in the freezer

Daily limit is half of possession limit. You can have 1 daily limit on the beach, and one daily limit the boat.Not both in the boat.!

Thank you

And it applies to fish in your possession at home. If you have more than 8 in your freezer, you are not supposed to keep any others until you eat them. That's where most people are bending the rules, but if you should get your freezer checked and you have more than 8 walleye in there- it could amount to a fine.

The regs seem to be worded in an odd way and open ended. I am not going to say how many walleye are in the freezer. I know several people who live on the lake. They will get several limits in a day and even more in a week.

I know that I am not the only person wondering about this.  I never see the game warden or I would ask him myself.
