Nice size burbot. We catch them from the Kootenai River here in north Idaho and a couple small lakes in northeastern Washington. I agree some of the better eating fish I sure wish we had some of that white stuff right now.

I like cod, catfish, and halibut, burbot too.
Actually, it hasn't been too bad for heat up here. It's beginning to get too hot for me now, but most often, it isn't as hot here as other places. On the divide in Glacier, there is so much snow, the plows are still trying to clear it off the Sun road .

Use to catch a lot of ling on Oneida lake in NY ice fishing. My fishing buddy would love them. He called them poor man's lobster. Seems like every different body of water the locals have a different name for burbot. A friend that lived on the lake also prized the ling liver most of all

Called Ling here.Most people wont eat them.I have eaten them,they are OK in my opinion. Used to see some people intentionally net ling under the ice in spring every year on a lake near Timmins. I think most dont eat ling here because there are other fish in the rivers and lakes that are much preferred,like sturgeon and pickerel.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Lota lota burbot one of the easiest names to remember in the fish world. as defined; This comes from the fact that the "lota" has a tendency to fall over and roll around, as it is not stable sitting on its base.
each culture views this fish differently. a retired Bio- Joe Roberson of Manitoba told of a story of the use of one burbot. A trapper had lost his ice spud on the last punch through...and was in a dilemma what to do with 4 feet and soon to be 7 feet of ice to go through. A Dene came and asked what his most second prized possesion was ? If he get the spud up from 20 feet what was his reward........an hour later the burbot had wrapped around the spud and with the extra hooks around the fish the thong wrapping was hooked and up came the spud..... across the tundra went a new 45-70 there was 20 caribou sunk there for the winter food catch so the spud was necessary for the trader
