Just like driving around spotlighting deer, or running an illegal gill net. Your not sport fishing or hunting, your just harvesting. Now, if I got three deer tags, you better believe I'm going to do my best to get three deer. But I'm not going to hunt out of season/from the truck/with a spotlight/etc. I'm allowed one archery, one blackpowder, and one general deer. I'm not going to shoot my archery deer with a rifle...
Fishing is the same. I'm allowed four Walleye on my licence, and I'm going to do my best to put four Walleye in the frying pan too, but I'm going to do it either angling, or spearfishing using only snorkle, facemask and Flippers (no scuba gear). These are the only methods allowed by law for them where I am (and I realy don't think I can snorkle down deep enough to get a walleye, ruling that method out. If you can, all the power to you). Sporting, ethical, legal, and I won't ruin the fishery for anyone else.
