Same here in Bama, and FL..and the "Game Fish" You cannot sell them without them being tagged (taxed), You cannot keep them if they are caught on a trot line, slat box, gill net, or any means other than a rod and reel.. And the creel limits are more strict... and in Bama and I think FL too, the only "Game Fish" that can be used as bait are bream...Don't know if any of this has ti do with the Literature stuff or not..
