Could you clarify MA freshwater fishing regulations?
http://www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/regulations/plain_language/taking_fish.htm
How many fishing of "All other species" of what size can be taken?
E.g. How many sunfish could I take? (not that I would take sunfish)
That chart is confusing.
Thanks
"All other species" means fish that are not listed on the chart for fresh water fish. There’s no size limit or limit on the amount you can take. Hold up Cowboy, before you go out setting a Ripley’s Believe it or not stunt, here’s the deal. Those are state standards. Local standards per county may be different ( ie or ei .. whatever) local parks may not let you take sunfish ( example) unless it’s a certain size. This would be called " fish management." So you really have to do some home work for the area you plan to fish before you fish it and plan on taking some home for dinner. ~good luck catchin’

There doesn’t appear to be any kind of limit on "other species". This is actually common with less desirable fish or fish that there is always an abundance of, like Sunfish for example. Keep as many as you would like. There is no size limit for them.
