Don't know about here or where he was fishing but in Ontario it was ILLEGAL to specifically target any species during a closed season on them. I expect even if those fish swam away appearing unharmed that there will still be a % that were killed unseen and during the spawning period that takes out that many more. I have lost any interest at all in watching this guys videos any longer....
The season was not closed nor is it illegal to target these fish at this time... I can assure that these fish were well taken care of, barbless hooks, unhooked in the water, out for a quick picture and right back to swim away. Either way thanks for the view I appreciate it!
