Crazy Burbot/Eeelpout Action! | Underwater + LiveScope Footage

My buddy, Mike, joins me as we chase after my favorite species to target in the spring - burbot! Also know as eel pout, ling, and lawyer, among many others, these fish are incredibly fun to target in the spring time! They put up an awesome fight and, as you can see, can offer incredible action!

That sure looked like a lot of fun catching them . Always fun too fish with a friend. Nice job!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🎣🎣

[@tjsguideservice]

Much appreciated, John! It was a blast!

[@troyhoernemann3775]

Nice grat video have cought them before never target pout or cooked them going to look up how to clean them after I finish watching your video

[@tjsguideservice]

They aren’t too bad! I am no chef by any means, but they are definitely much better than expected! And they are easy to clean!

Burb is the Word!

[@tjsguideservice]

Burb is indeed the word! Love it!

[@differentfins]

Very cool video! I love the underwater shots! For me burbs are accidental catches at the moment. I would really love to target them and get on a bite like this! Good stuff! What depths do you usually aim for in late winter/spring? From what I understand is one should fish shallower flats (20-30') and as the sun drops they move up from the depths.

[@tjsguideservice]

When I was growing up fishing LOW they were unwelcome accidental catches. Now, I love targeting them! There is still so much to learn about these fish and every year I find something new. I would say that is accurate. I would also add steep breaks as deep anywhere from 15’-45’. That seems to be what has worked best for me. As they get closer to spawn they will move shallower and then slide out again after spawn.

[@differentfins]

@@tjsguideservice 👍 yes they have certainly proven to be more popular in last 5 to 10 years. Maybe next winter I'll make a real effort to get on them. I'll be wrapping up my ice fishing in northern Manitoba next week or else I'd try it now. So its on the list!

[@tjsguideservice]

@@differentfins you bet! I have had friends who have targeted them open water in similar areas right when they ice gets out, but I haven’t. Good luck!

[@juliosdiy3206]

Omg so easy money.

[@tjsguideservice]

Burbs are the best!

[@jackmatthews312]

Looks like Mike needs to learn how to fish

[@mikeward-rt3hd]

Yeah, but he’s a great dancer!
