--- Quote from: Akhardwater on Mar 09, 2016, 04:29 PM ---You know only the strange people in the Midwest think BURBOT are trash fish.  Kind of like how people in New England think yellow perch are trash fish.  I for one love burbot and think they are wonderful sport fish and excellent table fare.  In Europe carp are regarded as highly prized sport fish where as in the US they are considered trash fish.  How would you feel if some said "it's just a walleye."  You shouldn't criticize people just because your opinion is different.

AHEM, just to clarify: only the folks in Maine think that yellow perch are trash and leave them on the ice to rot or be eaten by scavengers. The rest of New England (VT, NH, NY, MA, RI, CT) eat them up.  ;D ;D

And I whole-hearted-ly agree with your closing comment above  :tipup:

Congrats to that young angler, that is a helluva fish!  @) @)
