Like many things I think it depends on the fishermen/women. I think with the advent of cheap easy ice houses the chance of people cheating the system are a lot higher than they used to be.
I hope the F & G checks regularly to see that there is no bait and only single hooks being used.
At least 80% of the fish I catch ice fishing I never touch and don't even bring out of the hole. I just reach down with the forcepts and turn them loose just like when I ice fish.
I do take a few out for pictures or to invite home for dinner.
Then again, many are not that careful when ice fishing or fly fishing.
