My PB Smallie was OOS... Wasn't intentional and let me tell you, if I had a camera near by, I'd have taken a picture of that hog - and it counts all the same to me as I caught it, and it was freaking huge.
If you're worried about hooking into an OOS fish by accident, don't fish until all seasons are open. 15 seconds to 30 seconds, quick picture, whatever, it's all symantecs. Damage is already done once that fish was pulled off that spawning bed.
