If so, that's something new to me. The point of a limit is to maintain the supply, not the consumption rate. How can anyone regulate how fast I eat my supplies? So I would be blocked from fishing next season, if I still had fish from last year, or 2 years ago, even though the life cycle has moved on, and new fish have replaced those in the freezer? That's nuts.
Edit: from ODNR.
http://wildlife.ohiodnr.gov/fishingregulations"It is unlawful to buy or sell any fish taken by sport fishing, including angling, bankline, setline, floatline, and trotline, from any water area in the state.
It is unlawful to transport and introduce any aquatic species (fish, invertebrate, plant) from one body of water to another.
It is unlawful for the public to tag and release fish into any public water area.
It is unlawful for any person to possess a fish in any form or condition other than whole while on or when unloading the fish from a boat, while wading, or while fishing from shore on any waters in this state where a fishing license is required.
Fillets must be kept whole until an angler reaches their permanent residence, or until the fish are prepared for immediate consumption. This does not apply to anglers with a receipt from a fish cleaning house or charter captain which states the date, number, and type of fish possessed. Fish must be transported whole or as a complete fillet while returning from the Lake Erie islands on a commercial ferry boat."
Nothing here about how many in my freezer, and daily bag limit for me is 30.
