Did you get pics of the big burbot. The fat one had a 10 inch burbot in it and the skinny one had a big white fish in it. tasted great.

Nice but i'm still enjoying the soft side.

Salmonman · « **Reply #5 on:** Nov 13, 2012, 02:07 PM »

I do have a few pics of the burbot. Remember it was dark out so they aren't great pics. I will post them later.

Wow those lakers are pigs! Well done.

Akhardwater · « **Reply #10 on:** Nov 13, 2012, 07:21 PM »

That burbot I had was full of whitefish bones and mashed up whitefish. We should of got a better picture of the whitefish hanging out of Salmonman's laker. In my expert opinion it was at least a 14" whitefish judging from the size of the tail. Hey you know it is true that if you hold a little fish way out it makes it look bigger in pictures. I think those Fairybanks boys are onto something.

Salmonman · « **Reply #11 on:** Nov 13, 2012, 08:28 PM »

Oh man, you have started a competition now. Pictures will have to be with iceshanty approved rulers next to them. From a certain distance and also with girth measurements. I can see the comments coming in by the dozen after that comment AkHardwater. Should be a great thread that doesn't get sidetracked. $:-\$

I do. Maybe if we are lucky we can get judgement on form and technique from "Mr. Elbows" himself.

awsome lakers way to go

AlaskaOutdoorsmen · « **Reply #20 on:** Nov 15, 2012, 10:59 AM »

The smile on your faces say it all. Great catch guys.

Barleydog · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 15, 2012, 09:07 PM »

Salmonman, Nice fish, and really healthy looking! Good on you for releasing them too.

Salmonman · « **Reply #22 on:** Nov 15, 2012, 11:37 PM »

I'll say it was healthy. It was so hungry it had a 10-14" whitefish still sticking out of its mouth when it enhaled my secret weapon. Definitely not the longest fish I have seen but for the length it had one of the biggest head and shoulders I have seen. It was slapping its tail violently when it went back down the hole. No blood, no fingers in the gills and he was only out of the water for a few seconds.

ianwuzhere · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 16, 2012, 12:05 AM »

rite on, good pix,
congrats on some beauties, hopefully many more and some bigguns!

I Fish Icefish · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 16, 2012, 03:35 PM »

Is there any good places around the parking areas of the lake you can fish close to shore for lakers? I plan on bringing a 2 and 4 yr old form anchorage. Do the lakers typically stay in deeper or shallow waters?

knotreelly · « **Reply #25 on:** Nov 21, 2012, 07:59 AM »

incredible fish, congrats

Salmonman · « **Reply #26 on:** Nov 21, 2012, 04:49 PM »

The campground before you get to the end of the road will lead you to a place called Army Point. Go down off the point and start there. Start shallow and work out into deeper water. Good luck!

I Fish Icefish · « **Reply #27 on:** Nov 24, 2012, 01:39 PM »

Thank you for the info! Plan on taking the camper up in the next month

acaravaglia · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 04, 2012, 11:46 AM »

Beautiful fish! Huge
