[cool][#0000ff]We've already played the "What if" games on this in past threads. What it boils down to is that burbot are new and not wanted. The 25 fish limit is the same as Wyoming...for the present. I suspect that once these fish start showing up in greater numbers that the limits (and restrictions) will change to reflect that.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Right now it is highly unlikely that anybody will catch a limit of 25. If you catch more than that, you have to decide which law you want to violate...keeping over a limit or not killing all the burbot you catch. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]With most species, the implied law is that once you finish killing your limit you are DONE for the day. Otherwise, if you kill even one more fish you are in violation. DWR officers take a dim view of releasing mortally wounded fish after you have already kept your limit.[/#0000ff]
