There is no possession limit beyond the daily creel limit. That means you can have as many as you want in your freezer at home but you may not catch and take into possession more than one days limit on any given day that you fish. You can catch and keep one days limit every day that you fish but you cannot catch 3 walleyes on Monday and 5 walleyes on Tuesday as you would be in violation for the Tuesdays creel limit.

If you are staying at the lake for a few days it would be wise to have your fish cleaned and clearly marked by a commercial fish cleaner with the date cleaned so you will have record of when they were cleaned which in turn shows when they were most likely caught. Also keep campground, motel or any other lodging receipts that would show how long you have been staying at the lake.

If you would be ticketed/sited for over bagging on any given day that would put your whole previous days catch in doubt. The ODNR would then question when you caught the other fish in your possession and may very well confiscate all of your fish based solely on the one days catch over the daily creel limit for which you were cited.
