bag limits
Legal catch maximums
Bag limits are legal restrictions on how many fish or game animals a hunter or angler may take in a specified period—typically per day or per season.
The regulations prevent overharvesting and help maintain sustainable wildlife populations: The bag limit for trout is five per day.
Exceeding bag limits is poaching.
