I was sent a text this morn of a pic with a guy holding a giant ling and said to be 24lbs!

Never heard. Forward the pic let's have a see. I know there have been a few going around the internet the last few years let's see if it's one of those or a new one.

How can I forward it? text? Post your cell and I can send it.

Here it is boys,, what a pig gross lol.. Heck of a fish though.

Can't say as I have ever seen this pic around before I would have to say it's lagit. Don't know if it's a record but one heck of a slimer that's for sure.

That's the pig!

Right on..

Thx Axe.

I hate those things they're gross. If its just a jig I have on when I catch one I just cut the line lol..

We fished for them once a couple years back out on labiche just in front of the bro inlaws place. Caught a few and brought them in for a fish fry. By the time I was done cleaning those stinky bastards I was grossed out. We battered them and deep fried them but I couldn't eat much. Had that gross smell in my head and couldn't get it out. Have never kept one before or since. I would rather eat a jack and that don't happen very often.

Nope,, not for me..

first time I caught one I was 10,it wrapped around my arm and I almost fell in the river.I got a huge one over 10 in calling just dropping a 5 of diamonds to check depth and wham!Another 12in Wabamun.Both covered in clear worm things.I couldn't eat one!

So it looks like the Peerless beast (25 1/4 lb) beats out the FishingGeeks Sask monster (25 lbs 2 oz) :

where are you finding the info axe?

Wow that is an unreal burbot!!!  If that is a record good for him.  I have no idea how we don't get more big ones if they actually get that big because not many people catch and keep them.  Oh well I'm not really into burbot fishing but I should to a show sometime on burbot fishing.
