Is there an update on the new cleaning laws?

I know that there is an entire thread on this but it is quite large and after sifting through it I thought I would ask for a summary. I am confused as to whether or not you have to leave the skin on the entire fillet and/or if the possession limit has changed. what a slimy mess. if I have to leave the skin on the entire fish I may forego the throwing the fillets in baggies altogether and just throw them in a cooler on ice until I get home. Are we required to put them in baggies and date them for possession limit purposes?

Thanks again to everyone on this great forum!!!

Here is the link and it can be found on page 2 of the regulation under the heading "GENERAL INFORMATION". It is the whole fillet! Until the written law is changed I don't think I would challenge it based upon what any ODNR Official has stated to the contrary, a Judge has only the written law to use in determining guilt or innocence. Good luck trying to convince any Judge otherwise.
