Here's a selection of burbs caught by forum members Jbeers, myself and the beast by Skiwili.

Range from 5.5lbs and 29" to 12lbs and 37".

I like big burbs and I cannot lie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reTx5sqvVJ4)

Nice!!!!!

[The Fisherman Guy]

Great Lota lota!

Looks like a familiar spot, I've heard that's a great spot for Burbs before but I have yet to pull one outta there (if it's the spot I'm thinking it is).

Thanks for posting pictures, looks like some tasty booty.

[BeeGuy]

Ya the best part about ghost is you get the odd lake white by-catch.

[bwackwabbit]

Do you eat the liver?

[fish gunner]

No, he rubs down with it, arm hair lotion ...or something .
great burbs lads! Large or small baits ?

A variety.

From smelts to sardines to mackerels to herring and milkfish.

Not sure it really matters.

Big baits do help keep the small ones off, and a big burb can eat whatever it wants.

Do you eat the liver?

In the past yes.

I am no longer permitted to cook burb liver indoors.

I have a fishing buddy I donate them to now.

Similar to beef or pork liver? How do you cook them, or use to... I always thought burbs are a healthy fish to eat, given the liver is a 3rd of their mass.

Great lookin burbs...

Cut into thin strips and cook on medium/high heat.

The liver is mostly made of oil, so the strips will fry in their own oil.

Season with salt and pepper and put on crackers or toast if they last that long.

Yikes. I don't like having anything to do with burbs at the best of times, they freak me out lol, but just thinking about eating burb liver turns my stomach. :sick:

Depending on the water body, I'd be concerned about mercury content too.

[Ken07AOVette]

Those are awesome uglies! :)

There is no data available on Hg, however, even published values for AB for other species are no worse than what you get at the grocery store or the sushi restaurant.

kinda like us driving around an elderly lady having a heart attack, so we can make it home on time for supper and Duck Dynasty.

[OneGirlWolfPack]

One of these beastly burbs was caught by sight fishing within 6 feet of the shore. That was pretty cool.

[kevinhits]

Nice burbs. I think I am going to have to try the liver. Sounds tasty.

Be careful with the liver if it comes from a lake with Blue Green algae. The toxin concentrates in the liver and can last there for extended periods.
