wallyboss Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) In 2 different paragraphs , In the paragraph that talks about photograph says nothing about releasing immediatly. Compare apples to apples. The point here is OOS fish should be released immediatly period. Then they say if you catch fish and you want to take a picture do it quickly. Show me where it says if you catch an OOS fish you can take a picture then release it !!! Then I will agree. If CO's can't make up there mind how are we supposed to. You think you're right and I think I am right. Edited May 11, 2009 by wallyboss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpikemike Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 when fishing trout we got a couple of trout and one 8lb splake...we were using spinners and unfortunately we caught some oos bass...as my buddy was unhooking the fish i would snap a pic on the fishes way back into the lake or vice versa...and we had a great shore lunch of splake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cram Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Depends entirely on the CO. There is more htan one rule in the regs that relies on subjective judgement. I suspect this is by design so that the CO can apply if/when the fisherman is taking advantage of rules and/or just needs an attitude adjustment. For example - is it legal to fish for musky (with plans to release all catches) with a conservation license? Some COs will say its fine as long as you "immediately release"....some will say its illegal to target muskies without a full blown license. Further, if its illegal to take a picture of an OOS fish, is it illegal to take a picture of a 47 inch musky in a region where the minimum size is 48 inches? Lots of rules that could be applied if the CO thinks you need some attitude adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) well it doesn't but in the release tips they use the term must be Immediately released, then in the next paragraph in the tips on release section it states to take a picture...are you saying Immediately mean one thing here and another thing if the fish is OOS or are you saying that if you are releasing a fish you can't ever take a picture you can't have it both way either they stated "release the fish Immediately, but if you want to take a picture do it quickly" or release the fish Immediately, but if you want to take a picture you must keep the fish because you did not release it Immediately oh and as for the muskie thing, it's on there website, you can catch a muskie with a con lic. and it goes on to say see tips on releasing fish.. where it states if you want to take a picture do it quickly.....just because some COs are misinformed we can't all live in fear.....if it's on their website you have the law on your side Edited May 11, 2009 by Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyboss Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) BPM this is taken form the OFC rules "We would prefer that you do not post pictures of fish caught out of season.

Greencoachdog Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) Are y'all young'un still goin' on aboot this??? Isn't the internet a lot like TV or the radio?... if you see/hear something you don't like, turn the channel/page or turn it off!!! I've seen the 2 pics in question here, the one in the boat is perfectly acceptable in my opinion!!!... I sure that fish was released in a very timely manner! The one in the boathouse, maybe not so acceptable... but I'm sure both fish swam away happy to be alive, not that much worse off for wear and tear, and to make make many more baby fishes!!! The fishermen were proud of their catches and just wanted to share! If you're not too lazy or ignorant to read the entire regs... you'll see that it isn't illegal to take a pic of an OOS fish!

MCTFisher9120 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 BPM this is taken form the OFC rules "We would prefer that you do not post pictures of fish caught out of season. " Seems like you enjoy rubbing people the wrong way. Possibly why you got booted from F-H. cause they have the same rule. Terry it all comes down to you agree with it and I don't. You won't change your mind and I won't change mine!!! lol, BPM didn't bug me. Guess there's at least one happy OFC member. *Please Advise* This thread will be closed in the near future as people are constantly flaming each other, as the last OOS thread was closed. It's not necessary to continuously say that fish need to be put back "Immediately" over 20 times is it. Some people don't understand the consequences to fish leaving the nest and others do. All we can do is advise anglers and tell them to limit the time out of water both for unhooking the fish and for a photograph when necessary . The only problem i have is when people are taking pictures of every singe OOS fish they catch big or small. Obviously bigger fish have the bigger nests, but why bother taking pictures of smaller bass like BPM did. Not much else to say as everybody else did but come on people, settle down and be cautious when fishing. If you catch a OOS fish, move on and be smart.

Guest gbfisher Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 :rolleyes: But it also doesn't mean that you can pull over, get out of your car , get your buddy to take your picture then see what the police officer wants??? Immediatly means just that. As soon you can. If they meant as soon as you can after taking a picture and weighing it they would've said so. It is against the law You get over it!!!!! Now everyone is weighing them....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfish1965 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Okay...everyone take a time out... Remember that the summary of the regulations you get are NOT THE LAW. The law does not say you must immediately release a fish..it just says you cannot possess said fish. It goes the same for out of slot fish...you may not possess the fish, but THE LAW does not say you must do it immediately...same deal with a musky on a conservation license. The LAW is written in two parts, one Federal, one Provincial with Provincial being the lions share. Now go read the LAWS not the readers digest version. Even the summary this year gives an unofficial okay to take a pic in its release directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
