steverowbotham Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKRISONER Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 He will not give location. He sent everyone to Johnson Beach so no one would be at his spot. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUMP KNOWS Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 What will happen to the fish after everything's done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRISONER Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 There are catch and release records too. But the catch and keep records are the important ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
