Well there you have it.
Q: Our twitter follower @JohnnyWieringa asks if he can take a photo of a fish that is accidentally caught out of season even if it’s released afterward?
A: No. Any fish that is caught when the season for that species of fish is closed must be immediately returned to the water. Keeping the fish out of the water to take a photograph, weigh or measure it is not necessary and may reduce the likelihood of survival for the fish. This long-standing rule applies whether the fish is caught during the closed season, is of a restricted size, or is caught by gear which is illegal for that species of fish.

So, no pics of that big fish, that is over the slot size, even if that species is in season. That seems harsh. How do you know if it is in or out of the slot if you do not measure it?

They have to give the black and white answer so that people don't abuse the issue if they don't. I'll bet most officers will use a fair bit of discretion on this one.

We can take all the pictures we want as long as they're pictures of us releasing it. 
If a tree falls on your ex in the woods and nobody hears it,you should probably still get rid of your chainsaw. Just sayin'....

Can you get a smaller size of one of those , say for a 35cm. walleye? In the pic. one that large, would make it look tiny.

So you can net a fish out of season? I thought the fastest way to release a fish was to cut the line!?
