We call those ling. Good eating out of cold water. Never heard of anyone smoking ling here.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

So what type of fish are those classified as ? Or are they their own thing ? I believe it's like a freshwater cod. That's correct. Burbot are the only freshwater species of cod. They used to release burbot in pay lakes in Ohio. Occasionally I would here about someone catching a burbot in a river, usually near a pay lake. I've never caught one. Keith

They look like a snakehead. I'd try a burbot if we had them here. Sarge

Ok pretty neat ! So how exactly do you go about targeting them ? Any specific baits or set up or is it you just kinda fish around till you find a pocket? This time of year they come up on shoals to spawn. They are considered a coarse fish here, so there are no limits. People often carch 40 a night. We catch and release mostly. I have no interest in keeping that many. They spend the rest of their days in 100 feet of water or more
