It sort of reminds me of one of those giant goonch catfish that make occasional appearances on television.

Thank you all. I am still very happy I caught this burbot. I’ve been wanting a good one for awhile.

Gack! Did you get a weight on that beast!?

UpperMi roughangler's picture

Unfortunately, I did not get a weight. We decided to release her because of how big she was. She was 34 inches with a larger than average girth, if that says anything. I know close to nothing about estimating burbot weight just from their length, etc.

It felt about 10 ponds. It was a big one. I was extremely surprised it was that big. Biggest iv seen out of my bay in 2 years.
