Eelpout and Burbot are not the same fish

Gunflint:
Walker’s eelpout festival is finally unmasked as a total scam.

Not a single entry has ever caught an eelpout!

The have used a shadowy imposter to collect the prize money. Scam!!!

schollmeier:
Just an added wrinkle, they have Burbot (lota lota) across the colder waters of Europe and Asia, so the Scandinavian region has burbot and eelpout, just not in the same waters.  But common names forever cause confusion when you talk across regions as the Burbot goes by many names

Tuma:
Now what is the international Eelpout Festival in Waker MN going to do?

Apparently, the ONLY way to win now would be to use the "international" title and import and actual Eelpout from Scandinavia.

There are many Scandinavians that participate and they should heartily approve!!

IcePirateJace:
