Not sure about 2013 regulations, but I have seen a page on 2005 ontario regulations that had stated there is a 3 month season for using dip nets on carp and suckers.

Carp are also one of the hardier fish species and I've seen them survive out of water for longer than 20 minutes, obviously it's cruel and we shouldn't promote it, but showing some people a carp that was just caught won't hurt it too bad.

As far as I know, there are no possession limits for carp either.
