Question on the rules... once the team has caught and kept 6 fish are we "boxed out" for the tourney or can we still upgrade, assuming we are under our legal limit for the boat?

[bandrus1]

you can catch a legal limit per person and pick your 6 fish

[trackerboatman]

Leave the dock at 6 or start fishing at 6am?
