Question on posession limit

[Triggerfinger]

I have a question regarding posession limits.

Let's say my party of 3 has zero Walleyes in camp. We catch and eat 6 Walleyes for shore lunch.

Once these fish are consumed, am I back at zero fish in my posession?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

yes and no.
your fish consumed at shorelunch is part of your possession for that day.
you could do the same the next day,or bring 6 in for supper,or process and freeze 6 fish for taking home.
once you have your limit of 2 or the group of 3 has 6 in the freezer they must be consumed before you can possess any more for any reason,shorelunch,supper,whatever.
this is a conservation lic limit,sportsmans lic would be 12 for a group of 3.
