What does a possession limit mean, anyway?
The possession limit is the number of fish a legal angler may have under their control at any one time. It includes fish that are in a portable cooler, a home freezer, or registered in their name in a commercial locker. For most species in South Dakota, the possession limit is twice the daily limit. Once you have reached your possession limit (for most species you would have to fish for two days) for a given species, you are longer allowed to harvest additional fish of that species.
