Hi Eric,
There are burbot in most of the lakes here. Most are smaller than those in the picture.
We ice fish for them, but do catch them incidentally during summer while trolling for lake trout.
They are quite a voracious predator, and often will have fairly large fish in them. The fish in picture where I am wearing the brown Gallatin jacket, was 42" or 43"long, and had a 17" burbot and several small herring in it. The other one was over 40", and full of herring.
Let me know when you are headed this way, and we'll try to keep you out of the tourist traps.
Ted
