Becareful what you post

[captmark]

I have seen a couple of people posting that they went out prospecting looking for a species that's out of season and they post pictures of their catch, guys use a little common sense, Fish and Game will knock on your door and fine you if they have the time. just my 2 cents

Guys who post out of season catch should be find and persecuted not warned.

I haven't seen anything like that on here, but maybe I missed it. Assuming you're talking about fluke, I've only seen NY posts, where it's open.

please stop!!!!! no more,please!!

As they long as they release it, who cares. I've met plenty of local fish and game people local to me and not one cared if I fluked before the season started, only cared if they were kept.

Saw the picks. I can’t take a pulse from a picture but those fish don’t look happy. Pics appear to be from on a party boat. Not a very sportsmanship thing to do. I agree, there should be fines.

assuming they know how to safely handle and release a fish (which honestly not many guys do unfortunately) i don't see an issue. rules don't say you can't target them, just that you can't harm them.

same issue as guys keeping big breeder sized fish... if it's legal, it's legal, even though it would be beneficial to the fisheries to release them; if it's within the regulations, it's up to personal choice.

I saw a few picture of some very nice winter flounder.
Haven't seen any fluke.

You cant control what hits your line... No harm in taking pics and releasing.
