Yeah those are some nice burbs. How big do you think the first one is 8lbs or so? I cought one that  was about 5lbs on an 8" glow jig. I wonder sometimes if I am fishing to big though. What size jigs are you using jake?

i seem to like to lose all my big burbot at the hole. But I imagine I have had a few 10lb fish knocked off. I have cought a couple 5-7 lbers and I could definatly tell the difference in size.

Those are some hog burbot. Hopefully I can pull a few out of the icehole soon.

Thanks TGF and fishermanjake. :)

Here is the link to the underwater burbot footage.

Watch for the second burbot in the murky distance at the beginning of the video.
The fat burbot was heading towards my set line, shortly afterwards I hooked the large one of the day
http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/waterwolf101/?action=view&current=PLUS0001.flv (http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/waterwolf101/?action=view&current=PLUS0001.flv)

This second burbot investigates the lure and then the fish shaped camera and finally hits it from behind.

I was actually surprised how far some of them swam off the bottom.
I thought they were always belly to the bottom. :woot:

I did see some other neat burbot action before I had the DVR.
One time a large burbot came up to my lure opened it's mouth shook it's head at the lure and moved on.
That must have been some type of intimidation display.
Has anyone ever see that before? :-\

That's the first underwater burbot footage I think I've seen, nice work WW.  I had my first half decent burbot outing last week, it made me very excited for my next chance to get out, here are some of the burbot we caught...

Really great videos!  Nice catch of burbot. 

Nice whitefish, too.  By any chance did you get him on video?  Neat to watch them hit a lure.

No we didn't get the whitefish on vid, he hit on the first drop of the day and we didn't have the dvr thing set up yet.  Earlier in the week I caught 4 whitefish and forgot to charge the dvr :(   Here's one from last winter though.
