That is how it is in ontario.
Immediate release of OOS fish.
I agree totally on the ice fishing side.
But here taking a pic of an OOS bass isnt gonna hurt the fish unless its shorefishing and flopping around on a bank.
On RR cos even let you take pics of sturgeon, and there is ZERO season for them. And I appluad that(as long as your not targetting them). It does no harm to the fish
