I would have called the game warden. That is too many fish in his possession. Solve the problem by getting his stuff impounded.
How is it too much in his possession? Possession has nothing to do with it. How much he takes per day does. If he's there a week and the creel limit is 50 bream a day, he could easily have 350 bream in his freezer.
Many states have a possession limit as well.
Yep. In Colorado the limits can change as you go around a bend in the river. And you had better be ready to prove that those 5 fish on dry ice in your cooler were caught on different days, AND that they are within legal length and don't exceed possession limit.
I pretty much gave up on trout fishing here in my home state because the size and possession limits got so complicated that it just wasn't worth it to me. It got to where it took several days of fishing to finally land one fish that was legal to keep. Catch and release is fine, but I actually like to eat SOME of my catch, and that was increasingly difficult to accomplish. Then too, a lot of prime trout rivers were designated catch and release, single barbless hooks only.
I will still fish for some warm water species out here on the plains.
