Possession Limit: Maximum number of fish that may be
lawfully in possession of any 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.
The bag and possession limits are equal, except where listed
and for salmon and steelhead.
It is notable that once the fish is in your refridgerator or freezer at home, they are no longer considered "in possession". So, if you live near the body of water, you could take a limit home, and then go back the next day, and catch another limit, and then again the next day, and so on. Doesn't quite seem right does it? But is legal.
I think that is the point that some are trying to make.
