PA has a per day limit and total possesion limit per species last I remember. Anyone can check it out by googling pa fish & boat commish for the specifics.

Subject: [VFB] Was Bream Flyfishers, now C&R/Keeper Rules?

Rod and all,
Out of curiosity and wanting a definitive answer, I called our Game and Fish
warden's office and talked with an officer. In Wyoming, at least, you can
still keep fishing C&R if you have your bag limit for the day in possession.
I've kept gill-hooked fish for dinner and kept right on C&R fishing,
although there is a one-fish limit where I fish.
I'd be curious if other states have the same law or say you have to quit
fishing. Here, the bag limit is 'in possession', which means it can be
cumulative over many days- say, if you're camping and hadn't eaten your
catch, but it's in the cooler. (A 6 fish (daily) limit would be all you can
possess per license.) So even though you can't keep any more fish, you can
still C&R for the meantime until you eat your fish (your vacation fishing
time). This also keeps people from stocking up their freezers with fresh
fish because the older fish are freezer-burned from sitting in there too
long. It also keeps poachers from having huge quantities of fish that they
say they caught over time.
I'd be curious as to the rules of other states.

The San Juan River, for example, does have a
"Daily Bag Limit" of one fish, 20 inches or better, per day... But
what happens when their clients catch that 20" or better fish and keep
it??... They're done for the day...
