Wabigoon: Yes, I have caught many Burbot in the last 25 years since I took up "ice fishing" - probably 30+ of them. They are wonderful to eat. Many folks refer to them as fresh water Ling Cod. My biggest weighed 5 pounds but my friends on the ice have caught them to 8 pounds or so. I have caught most of them at night but a few were caught during the early daylight hours.

Caught a few while ice fishing when I lived in MN. I never caught any from open water.
We don't have them around here, so it's unlikely I'll ever catch another.

My MN. buddy would trade you walleye for burbot and that is saying something because he knew his way around in the kitchen.

Hold into the wind VarmintGuy Burbot are the only true freshwater cod, which explains why they taste so good. Lingcod are not true cod, or even close. They are actually very closely related to greenling. We used to catch huge numbers through the ice.

Caught quite a few of them up at the Angle on the ice. About the only fish that will splash a bobber when they hit. Predators.

No I haven't. I don't fish through the ice much and that seems to be how and when they are caught in these parts. No idea why that is.

Yep, a bunch through the ice, never in open water, even though the same lakes.

They spawn in winter, so they are a lot more active during peak ice season than during open water time.

My uncle caught one in a creek on a Vibrax spinner, we were salmon fishing and at the time I had no clue what it was and threw it back.
Caught and ate many through the ice later. Good eating fish.

We were at either Montana or Willow creek where it flows in, can’t remember but same river anyway.

Caught many back in the 70's ice fishing mostly at night using white fish for bait on set lines. I also found their liver to be tasty and I don't like liver usually.

We get a lot of them commercial fishing for whitefish—problem is they go mushy pretty fast—even packed in ice so they need to be eaten right after catching them

Have caught them on set lines through the ice baited with whitefish.

At our cabin in the remote northern B.C. bush, we fish for burbot in deep cold lakes in the summer with set lines baited with trout heads and left in deep water ( 50' - 150') over night. It's a traditional way of fishing for them in this area. They are highly prized since they are the ONLY white fleshed fish that is generally available to anglers here. A nice and delicious change form trout and salmon.

Back in the younger days we caught many through the ice, best tasting fresh water fish in Alaska. We also battered fried and ate the liver, try it.

I was fishing out of Henderson Harbor in Lake Ontario in the early 80s and caught one. I was on the Harbor side of Snowshoe bay where there is a narrow passage under a bridge to gain access to the main lake. It hit a lure. I reeled it in and marveled at this strange fish. I released it. My older cousin Casey Converse, who had fished the area his whole life, told me what it was and said it was great to eat.
