Ice Fishing for Burbot | The Canadian Angle

The Burbot is slowly growing a niche following across the ice belt. In this video, Jay Siemens and Sean Mcaughey head out on Lake of the Woods to do some ice fishing for these unique creatures, and show off why they are underrated as both sport fish and table fare.

Burb O'Clock!

[@kylejordan2654]

THIS IS THE BURBOT EPISODE IVE NEEDED MY WHOLE LIFE!!!!!! IM ADDICTED TO GOING AFTER DIRTY BURBS!

[@wardenandriuk9448]

Take a machete and cut their tail off. They bleed out and the meat is more white coloured.

[@kevinstromquist5954]

Well that was a fishing treat! Super underwater footage, could not believe how many fish it took to unsnag Sean!

[@coreyk5536]

Right!? Sounded like they implied it was filmed in February, so is this video 11 months old!?

Been loving this series featuring Jay!!

[@97kingfish]

Love seeing another person that loves burbot, I’ve dedicated my past couple ice seasons to figuring them out and I’ve still got lots to learn. Biggest is 32 7/8” though!!!

[@Nanooky]

What does burbot taste like? Caught many, but never ate them.

[@motoboggin2619]

@@Nanooky taste like chicken to me, neutral flavor, if you boil them in sprite or 7 up and dip in butter theyre alot like crab without the frustration of the shell.

[@Elias-xu7uw]

​@@motoboggin2619boiling in sprite sounds disgusting how can that taste like crab

[@motoboggin2619]

more for me@@Elias-xu7uw

[@peterwright4647]

Great episode! We called them Mariah here. Delicious fish. Fun to catch in December/January. We cube ours into 1” pieces and put it into boiling salted water for a couple minutes then into a pan with garlic butter. Prairie lobster! Lake Diefenbaker or Last Mountain holds good numbers of these delicious critters.

[@ecv03]

Great footage. Really liked this video. God Bless you Guys.

[@scottrivers6472]

Excellent video. You guys are the best camera salesmen of 2023. To be able to see how the fish respond to bait and techniques was amazing.

SO AWESOME. WHO DOSN'T LOVE A GOOD BURBOT BEAT DOWN!!!!!

Phenomenal footage

[@CanadianFishFinder]

Great episode Sean and jay, Will have to try for them on lake Simcoe using your tips, Someone gave me one last year on the ice and i brought it hone and ate it, Fine eating fish,

[@evynhole5429]

that footage is awsome.

[@davidforrest399]

This is a welcome reprieve in eastern ontario - checked 4 lakes today - and the 2023 season is looking grim in my neck of the woods, lots of really sketchy ice.

[@jackpineembers]

I’ve gone out a few times targeting burbots in west hawk lake. No luck yet…. Maybe next time? Great vid as always Jay.

[@dangagnon7312]

Coolest underwater footage ever. Best content on MeatEater.

[@Urotsukidoji1]

caught one of these years ago, had no idea what it was, freaked me out. My father went on to tell me how when ice fishing for trout back in the 60s, if they caught one of these, it was left on the ice to die. ...... others would ski-doo around the lake looking for discarded "Ling"

[@bearberenstein5202]

I caught a 11lber in Candle lake in 2008 December time. First time ice fishing in Canada.

[@s60430470]

Burbot, a member of the cod family, are a very tasty fish!

[@fuzzybunny01foot]

Steve, you need to check out the burbot derby up Flin Flon/bakers narrows in Northern manitoba. Also the the lake trout derby as well. You are missing out on the massive moose up there too.

8:24 cracks me up!

[@mackhughson3722]

Jay is the goat!!

[@MrAcuta73]

That underwater footage...WOW! So damn cool! Bucket list fish for me. I live in Oregon, keeping meaning to take a trip up to Washington to try and get one. I don't think we have any here to speak of, though I know some live in the Columbia. Good luck targeting them.

[@ianalderson9602]

That underwater footage is awesome 👌

[@kaleoariola]

Another great video. They remind me of catfish the way that their bodies are. Great video, mahalo for sharing.

[@fishingpatriot2344]

I love cusk their my favorite fish to catch nd eat. We call them cusk in maine nd used to get them over 12lbs years ago nd some alot bigger you'd have to drill or chisel the hole bigger to get them out haha my dad got one 44inches long nd had to drill 2 holes to the first hole for its head nd huge belly to get thru. This was back before digital or accurate scales tho so no idea on that ones weight

[@dalbert4991]

Crushing it

[@dynawideglide44]

As a SE Missourian never heard of them. Look like a snake head or bowfin as someone said..that being said looked fun and I def try one 👍

[@sitealive]

I love Ling cod in a beer batter and malt vinegar.

[@nrfishinman009]

Crazy how aggressive Burbot are. I have had them come off the bottom fishing in 20ft of water to attack my transducer. They sometimes swim around the hole just a couple feet down from the ice.

[@thomasgajewski5929]

Great eating with clear butter& lemon

[@adkbeau]

Near lake Champlain NY we call them bowfin .... aka ling

[@tomwinterfishing9065]

We used to have these in the Uk, presumably leftover from the ice age. They seem to have gone extinct about 100 or so years ago ☹️

[@eduffy4937]

Got the head of a mongolian taimen, the back end of an eeln and the meat of a shrimp. Wonderful fish burbot are.

Poor man's lobster 👌

[@keenanscanlin7979]

We call them cusk here Maine!

[@keenanscanlin7979]

Also the belly meat on good sized one is a great piece of boneless meat, pull the skin off the whole fish before cutting and all the skin comes off east in one piece, then after the back straps and tail fillets cut just above the vent and along the sides to the bottom of the ribs and all the way around. My favorite fresh water fish in Maine and I eat them all!

[@HickedUp]

I find it way easier to skin them and then take the filets. You can separate the 2 filets a side with the rib cage. No bones end up in thr meat.
