[fishermanjake]

seems all the other rooms have the biggest caught.  what's everyones best?  I caught a 14.5 pound burbot 39 inches long, jigging through the ice this november.

I think my biggest was around 12 pounds...I don't think I could've got it through a 6" hole so good thing I was fishing with my power auger pal!  One afternoon 3 of us went out 1 at a time as we got back from work, and we each caught identical burbot within a half hour of each other...10 pounders and they each had 2 10" tullibees in them!

14 pounds as a kid ice fishing for cusk. now they run 4-8 pounds but hey not every state has big ling.

[Germ]

3 pounds and still searching...Trapper wont show me the big X on the lake....lol

[Barleydog]

I think it "may" have been this weekend?  It was well over 8 lbs. but my digital scale was b.s.ing' again!  Said it was 7.6 or sooooo.  Who's to believe that?

[Germ]

Well wasn't that with fishermanjake?? He would have a good idea on the weight as as he has said he is preety close to guestimating to the ounce? Just ask him then if it was this same trip you skunked his arse on....Poke poke..Make sure to Rib him on this Barley....You took him from his Ling throne!!! LOL

[fishermanjake]

i said 7.2, he said 7.8, anyhow, i got beat...I have no excuses...anyhow, rag on me all you want, I didn't get skunked...and it put my season total up to 71, average size, about 6 pounds maybe a little better.  over half a dozen over 10 pounds too.  Just ended up being my worst day out there...maybe they are starting to figure out my technieque there.  Who knows...but come back and rag on me when you stop getting skunked for burbot or catch one close to ten(if you can get it through your hole )  Anyhow jim braved the frazil ice to have the best hole as well, so his 6 is deserved.  Nice job Jim

[Barleydog]

Now Germ,  How can I give him a hard time?  He takes it all so well.  I did have the "magic" hole this weekend.  I even un-selfishly offered a fish that was biting in the "hot spot" ta' Jake, which he refused.  He did pull through to get the monkey off his back at the two minute warning.    It sounds like you'll have to grab the Trapper and make a road trip north!   

[Germ]

Road trip....lol....I ain't spending that much time in a CAr with him...Damm he probably pack his whole house for that load then exspect me to Tow him behidn my car....Or even worse Drag it by hand....And jake nice come backs there kid...LOL Ya ya i know Germ and his monster size Ling are really quite threatening for ya ...LOL OR Baby Ling Germ as Terry has sort of labeled me...I guess i can't be razzing ya as My fish would fit through my 3 and a half inch hole...But BArly certainaly can becasue he was the one who did kick ya off your own throne...And in your own Backyard....Hmmm..and as a sympathy hole he offers ya a Ling that is biting .....Awwww..he knew id be all over ya if he skunked ya....Well lets face it he did...Rofl....My other question here is did ya guyz do the cleaning method with the dumpster that nite? Which by the way works great jake...Tight lines all and thanks for the laughs.
