If you put 4 in the box, your not supposed to fish anymore for that species of fish. If you put 3 in the box, then you can catch/release as long as you put them directly back into the water. I don't agree with it, but it's the same here in mich. Once you have your limit, your done fishing for that species. I've heard of guys being warned while trolling also. If you reeled in your limit, you are supposed to be done. ODNR is suppose to be cracking down on charter capt. also. No more giving the capt or mate's fish to the customers.
