steverowbotham Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 My buddy Sebastien and I headed out yesterday afternoon to try a new area and it paid off big time. Sebastien landed a 17.95 lbs burbot, passing the old record of 16.8 lbs. Obviously, the official record is still pending paperwork. Check out the video of our day. It was awesome. https://youtu.be/bE6hIgcEc_c
Jds63 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 That's amazing !!! But the link isn't working...
ecmilley Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 Good job. I think with the recent.intrest in targeting these fish we.may.just see this record fall again
AKRISONER Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) well done man...thats sweet! reminds me of the burbot derbys back in flin flon on athapap. The world record was caught right in front of my cabin, that was subsequently beat by the fishing geeks! who i believe have now lost the world record as well now. my fishing partner is obsessed with burbots...hes asking for GPS cords lmao Edited January 26, 2017 by AKRISONER
Terry Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 He will not give location. He sent everyone to Johnson Beach so no one would be at his spot. Lol.
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 Nice burbie!!!! There was a giant caught up here earlier this winter too.
Headhunter Posted January 26, 2017 Report Posted January 26, 2017 What a great fish!!!! You could easily tell that buddy was pumped!!!! I can't say on this board what I would do if I had that monster on my line... HH
Joeytier Posted January 27, 2017 Report Posted January 27, 2017 Obscenely huge! Hopefully the certification process goes smooth and your buddy officially becomes the record holder.

PUMP KNOWS Posted February 2, 2017 Report Posted February 2, 2017 What will happen to the fish after everything's done?
AKRISONER Posted February 2, 2017 Report Posted February 2, 2017 What will happen to the fish after everything's done? my guess is taxidermy is the typical way these things go...ive never fully understood the whole requirement to kill the fish when its a record...but whatever i guess their needs to be full 100% certified proof. It would be cool to have a literal Ontario or WR fish hung up in your cottage.
Terry Posted February 2, 2017 Report Posted February 2, 2017 There are catch and release records too. But the catch and keep records are the important ones
Old Ironmaker Posted February 2, 2017 Report Posted February 2, 2017 That is one mighty beast. Kudo's to you. I was told years ago if you buy scallops in a restaurant in North Bay you are probably being served Burbot loin.
