wallyboss, then you did not read my cut and paste from the MNR website, they use the word "Immediately" then said take a picture but do it quickly, the only thing you can read into it is, they are using the legal definition of the word Immediately, to mean in a timely fashion that will not cause more harm to the fish, again they say release the fish Immediately, but if you want to take a picture do it quickly what else can that mean but yes you can take a picture

jediangler, you are wrong Immediately means within a reasonable time that will not affect the health of the fish Immediately means quickly the mnr stated and I already posted it, Immediately mean not putting it on a stringer or livewell but you can take a picture..not the MNR state that on their website , so how can you argue.... if a cop is following you and over their PA system call out pull over Immediately, do you pull over that very second, because they said Immediately, even if that means running over people walking or a parked car, but they said Immediately, so you kill 3 people well don't be stupid, they mean pull over in a reasonable amount of time when it is safe.....and that is what Immediately means in the law, within a reasonable amount of time and if the fishing world it means in a timely fashion that will not cause more harm to the fish ... it s not against the law to take a picture of a fish, get over it

yeah I really think the problem is people think well if I can take a picture, then I must be allowed to catch it and if I can catch it, I must be able to fish for it'. so I will go out this weekend and fish for bass OOS..and that is not the case........you must not can not fish for OOS fish period......

nice but in my boat I have to lean way over to unhook a fish in the water and many boats like Waynes big lund you need to bring them on board and torpedo them back into the water to release them, many charter boat are the same, way too high to do what you suggest and if you think it's against the law then who is breaking the law, the guy holding the fish or the guy taking the picture cause often I take a picture of the other guy holding a fish by saying his name while he is unhooking it he looks up to see what I want and I snap the picture..love to see him get a ticket for that...... the mnr talks about catch and release and say to take a picture quickly and to remember if you don't release it immediately it counts against your limit......which, without a doubt implies/states/says you can unhook it , take a picture and still immediately release a fish "cut and paste from MNR website Here are some tips for successful catch-and-release: Angling * Use barbless hooks; avoid using live or organic bait. * Reduce the time a fish is played. * Angling-induced stress and mortality increase considerably as water temperatures increase. Generally, the cooler the water the better the chance a released fish will live. Taking a fish from deep, cool water up to warm surface water can be especially stressful. If you plan to release your catch, avoid fishing during extremely hot periods of the summer. Handling * Keep the fish in the water as much as possible and handle the fish gently. * Reduce handling that removes the slimy protective coating on fish. * Do not squeeze or touch the gills. Grasp the fish just behind the gill covers. For panfish and bass, it is best to grasp the fish by the lower lip. * Use long-nose pliers to remove the hook quickly without tearing or injuring the fish. If the fish is hooked deeply, cut the line and leave the hook in when the fish is released. * Never put a fish that you may release on a stringer, use a functional livewell or release the fish immediately. Remember that all fish kept (in a livewell, on a stringer, etc.) and not immediately released count toward your daily catch and retain or possession limit. Photographing * Be ready ahead of time! Take pictures quickly, minimizing the amount of time the fish is out of the water. * Hold the fish in a horizontal position, supporting its weight with your arm and hands. Do not hold large fish in a vertical position. Releasing * Revive the fish before letting go. Hold the fish upright in a swimming position in the water, moving the fish slowly forward and backward so water runs through the gills. * Ensure the fish is breathing and can swim away under its own power before it is released. Remember the future of fishing is in your hands!"

key, I made it too kawartha walleye opener temagami in the winter the niagra river muskie closer in dec the BOQ fall walleye fishing and many more what I am trying to say is so many lakes so little time...LOL but I will try to squeeze it in

nice looking fish I just got to get down that way and give it a try some time

welcome aboard can't help with the lake

but we don't need to apply moral or ethics to fishing for bass before season is open it is against the law period no need for discussion call tips and turn them in...... but if you catch one while fishing for crappie, that is a whole different story and if you want to take a picture it;s not against the law, so is it really any of our business...hate the law not the person acting within the law, don't fight the person obeying the law, fight the law makers if it is not against the law.....leave people alone

that is very cool so do you have an anchor for the plane

it is not against the law to take a picture of a OOS fish, so if you catch fish that screams out to you to take it's picture, then do it. do,'t let other peoples morals influence you, it has nothing to do with the law but you may want to respect the rules of this board and not post it, cause many self rightest people will complain

I was fishing a Kawartha lake for walleye but the rain and the lightening sent me packing too bad the walleye were biting pretty good

that's too bad I called and called and called never got in...I have never got in on their birthday bash each year either but Misfish, his son got in for a key I guess he would have posted if he won ah..... the dreams

sounds like you guys did great

well, enjoy the boat and have a great time

dang

thanks I watch the channel a lot and just never saw it....

I have not seen it yet I wonder if TJ know what time they come on

thanks for the info I always forget to look in the news section

Paul is a top gun when it comes to boats but he hasn't been at that address for years he is north of bradford on highway 11, younge st or county road 4 which ever you want to call it just south or high way 89

if there are good weeds fish them if it's windy, fish the blown side of the lake they can be shallow, real shallow

lots of people do it, I tried it's fun it helps to have a good gps, the older one could be off by 150 ft and that can make it hard to find it

LOL

I'd like to see you throttle up in gear while in a garbage can water wouldn't last long

nice fish you did well, I wish I got out oh well I hope to do some walleye fishing this weekend, just not for the big BOQ walleye

with some with the pressure from the hose , it's right away but with other it's a little longer if it doesn't start in 10 seconds I would say there is a problem
