Pike, Pike and more Pike + 1 Burbot

[lethalconnection]

So me and a couple buddies decided to head out for some pike and well, we slaughtered them, between four of us we caught about 30 pike missed about 15 flags, man i got a work out running from hole to hole, my one buddy caught a 20lb, 40" pike, HUGE and we stayed for the night fish for walleye and burbot but only managed to get a small 20" burbot. Probably doin it all over again this weekend.

And my first ppike in over 4 years, damn i've been waiting for that for a long time.

This might appear to be a dumb question but, what is a small 20" burbot?
I have no idea what a burbot is.

I've never caught a burbot but They are some sort of eel or something like that. Awesome northerns, I haven't had that kind of fishing since december.

Beautiful fish there. You let that 40"pike go?!?!

[TeeJay]

You live in MN and fish walleye and have never caught a burbot? Alot of us call them Eel pout, ring any bells?

AndLethal you actually fish those nasty (and I use nasy lightly) things. OMG I wont even touch them, I dont know how many I have left on the ice this winter![:'(]

Burbot are as good as it gets for fine food. Fresh water Cod. We catch a lot of them at night on Oahe.
