We can as captains ans also anybody else. We can and do give our fish away if we want to. All the recipient needs is the name of whos fish they are on a pc of paper with name and phone number of who caught them. Never had and issue with this and never will. Some people worry too much, just dont lie to the game warden, and take home your catch. The ones who double dip and try to hide fish and make themselves noticed may get caught and I hope they do.I take my fish somedays and somedays I give it to the customers. A couple years ago the DNR busted penty of people, several from out of state and some of that started a windfall of the fish cleaning and skin on, dont do this that made started making it a hassle for the rest of us. There was a guy that came into my marina on his 3rd trip out that same day and turned in his fish to the fish cleaners. The fish house guy call the law. BUSTED. I would fish everyday and take a limit everyday that I wanted to, just too bad I have to work a real job instead of doing the job I love. TIME TO GO FISHING !
