It's the law. You are supposed to keep the whole filet intact until you reach your permanent residence or are preparing them to eat. The reason is that people were overfishing and then cubing the fish to cover the true number of fish they had, making it nearly impossible for DNR officers to count the fish. 10 years ago you were even supposed to leave a patch of skin on the filets for easy identification but at last check that was no longer the case. Technically speaking, you need to keep your receipts with dates from the cleaning house if you are fishing multiple days so that if you are stopped you have proof that you didn't catch them all that day.
The few ruining it for the many.
itsbob would be correct.
