Is it legal to pull the tail off and freeze them? If DFG came in your house and checked the freezer, don't you still need the body on? (so they could measure for shorts I guess)? On another form a guys was saying it was not legal to pull the tails and freeze them.......Any one? Bueller?

Yes it's true...you are not supposed to de-tail your lobster until you are ready to consume it...I can't imagine a bunch of DFG wardens using a battering ram to bust down your door just to check your 7 bugs in the freezer!
Just use your uncommon sense and don't de-tail on the boat or at the dock.
