Most of the limits are fairly close.

25 Whitefish in Manitoba?!?! I know there are lots of whitefish there...but really?

I feel the same about our perch and panfish limits...excessive as well...

I like the Manitoba Black Crappie limit...6...be wise and careful about the 6 you intend to keep...

Channel Catfish limit is great in Manitoba! Ontario's Channel Catfish limit is excessive again...I don't want to be eating a dozen channel cats...no thanks...

In my mind, no seasonal limit for any single species limit to exceed 3 (except for panfish...maybe 15 for panfish). We're recreational fishing...not going out to stock the freezer!

You can't possibly eat all that fish anyways and stay within or below the consumption advisory published in the Guide to Eating Ontario Sport Fish...

In this time - I think their Brook Trout and Muskie limits are very wise.

Rock Bass limit however has me scratching my head.

Largemouth at zero is most likely due to the fact they have few if any most places.

I have a hard time with "no limit" on any species and would like to see a max daily catch count across all, with a reasonable larger possession limit. Reason being....... it's a sport, not a slaughter. A meal or three for the family should be sufficient, beyond that is perhaps greed and more.
