bag limit

Daily catch maximum

A bag limit is the maximum number of fish or game animals a hunter or angler may legally take in a given period, typically per day or per season.

Regulations set bag limits to prevent overharvesting and maintain sustainable wildlife populations: The bag limit for largemouth bass is five per day.

Exceeding the bag limit can result in fines or loss of hunting privileges.
