It sounds like you hooked a sturgeon. How heavy line were you using?

Did any of the burbot have eggs or milt coming out of them?

Landed one early last night off of sand point in 65fow. Ended up heading home around 7. How late do people fish for em? Would shallower water be better durring the spawn?
