Hey Terry I would love to see a 40" burbot!! You wouldn't enter a fish caught on a setline though right bud
Do they fight hard.....Yeah real hard like a northern pike minnow Tbone and I will be going to jig them at a lake that is known to have some decent ling in. Want to knock a couple of walleyes off the leaders board . Ice chip....How about it?.....Call me old boy, you don't seem to answer your phone. You out playing with the chickens again
I fish for them like you do for catfish TH. Put on my special bait, toss the line out, plop the rod in the bank holder, sit back and enjoy a few cool or hot ones whilst watching my set. Sometimes I jig and sometimes I set. Setting is much less work and if I'm tired of jigging I usually set as previously mentioned and of course a few other tricks not mentioned . Setting a line frees up my hands for other activities I may want to do like: cleaning fish, eating a meal, cuddle with the wife who just got frisky cause she landed a big fish If you guys are referring to the trotlines I see occasionally mentioned on here, then "No" I don't fish that way or multiple lines. Here in BC we are only allowed one line with one hook or treble. Exception to the rule is if you are status, then you can use square hooks . Which isn't fishing to me.
