now were talking about stop watches and precisely timing how long fish are out...far easier to say, the fish is out of season, release it immediately. And yes, if your kid catches an out of season fish, its the perfect opportunity to teach them about fishing ethics and rules, maybe they will also become a steward of our resource.

Well it IS the only fish actually worth chasing LOL

I understand you, my fellow anglers of the OFC have more important issues at hand, I don't even know why I thought of this. I expect some of you are familiar with it. Just thought it would be good for a laugh. Hope some of you get a kick out of it and can put it into words LOL. EMRFESHEMRNOTFESHEMR2FESHCDEDBDIZEWHALEOILBEEFHOOKEDEMAREFESH.

Well you got four words right but the others are way off. This is bugging the Hell out of me as I want to disclose what it is but I can't, I had to figure it out for myself. The last part is obviously the easiest. I'm happy you are taking part in this. If more guys come on board it would be interesting to see who figures it out first. I believe you have a head start. I wish I could offer a prize. Bragging rights will have to do. I just thought it would be something fun for a change for those who have the time and like a challenge.

Hahaha, hey Fisherman, not intentionally, in my 7 story years, not that you guys are all as old, I try and keep my brain active, what's left of it anyway. I came across this back in the early 70's when I worked for a commercial fisherman and have surprisingly, never forgotten it.

You trying to give us a brain tumour, lol.

If it climbs up the tree to get you, it's a black bear. If it knocks the tree down to get you, it's a Grizzly.

Fish doesn't take as long so you have to drink faster.

For sure Good around the roses 😜

MNR trapped moma and 3 cubs at the highschool up the street from me today. My wife was wondering what was going on as she walked the dog past it all.

As far as I know, only one person can have possession of the fish. Someone will need to claim it, and they'll get the summons/fine.

Yes but young kids and women are not as prepared men are and I said 2 minutes because a biologist doing studies on fish told me they try not to keep fish out of the water for more then two minutes ,even ones they put transmitters in

Don't be! It was a great shot of a very happy young man. If picture taking is forbidden for an out of season fish then it's also forbidden for in season fish that are illegal to possess due to slot sizes regulations (as noted above). I've seen lot's of Musky (and Walleye, Bass, etc!) pictures here and else where of slot sized (no possession) fish in season, just saying.

If you hadn't mentioned Don Valley Lew, I wouldn't have ever remembered it. I can still remember it a little but not much. But I do remember back in late 60's and early 70's it being a very beautiful area. Back up to Crowman. You and your family having spent time in Calgary I expect you are familiar with Carseland. My dad worked for a farmer out there in the 30's. I wish I knew where exactly as most of the farmlands are passed down through generations. It seems like a lot of other things being born and raised on a farm it get's in your blood and one sticks with it.

Read the room fellas, you missed the temperature, and you're overcooking the roast. Further, ever tried charging a child under 12 for a grip and grin? Nothing bad will ever come of this, even if posted on facebook.

I've got zero issues with the kid getting a photo with this fish. It's the people who would take advantage of the proposed rule change I'd have an issue with.

The good old days eh Lew. Clydesdales are incredibly gentle which isn't a bad thing considering their size. You were very fortunate to have experienced that when you were a young lad in them neck of the woods. I used to know Toronto pretty well in the early 70s as we used to go to the CNE, the sportsman show of course and take a drive down just for something to do on a weekend. I doubt I would recognize it these days. I would likely get lost just trying to find Young St. I certainly have no desire to go back.
