HERE IT IS:
02. Possession Limit. Maximum number of fish that may be lawfully in possession of any one (1)
person. Possession limit shall apply to fish while in the field or being transported. All fish that are hooked, landed and
not immediately released shall be counted in the possession limit of the person hooking the fish. (3-20-97)
Now, the way I am reading this, if you release it "immediately" it is not in your possession, therefore, can't be counted.
Like I said, Utah cleared the air this year with this:
"You may continue to fish while in possession of a full limit, but you must immediately release any additional fish you catch."
