I guess that when it comes to EPO's there is no right answer?
They don't check people at boat launches then their not doing their job, and when they ARE checking their doing the WRONG job???
I wonder how many times these officers here the same "stories" regarding fish fillets of questionable sized fish?
Surely no one has used the "I caught that fish yesterday" or "That fillet was from a big fish (or from a fish with no restrictions)"
Basically you screwed up and were fortunate that the Lt. had the knowledge to know the fish was a keeper. The fact you had the fillets with you on the boat was the problem, as it falls under the "possession" portion of the rules. Had you caught a fish on Sunday and kept it they could have gotten you for exceeding the daily limit.
Consider yourself lucky, and plan better next time!
