A recreational inland fishing license is for personal use only; it does not authorize selling fish taken from wild inland waters. The rule is that commercial sale, barter, or trade of such fish requires a separate commercial license and compliance with commercial harvest regulations. Private property or the fish’s size does not change this—the license type governs what you may do with the catch. If someone wants to sell fish legally, they must obtain a valid commercial fishing license and follow the accompanying rules, reporting, and permits.
