Love it!

Awesome fish! Well done!

Nice fish congrats

Wicked bud. Nice to see alberta back in the books. And yes, leave the Conrad boys alone they go to where the big ones are and put in their time. I was a record chaser for a good portion of my life and you give up a lot of other things in pursue of the record fish. Never got the one myself but seen them in the early 80's laying on the ice and I was ruined for 15 years after that. After awhile I realized I was fishing for something that didn't even exist. That's when the aqua views came out.

Grats on your World Record Burbot :shark:

thanks for sharing your picture

David:)

I love it !
First post ever on A/O and you are the king of Burbot fishermen.
How was the laker action.

Not disputing your burbot, that a tank of a fish, but IFGA still has Sean Konrad as the title holder?

Just not updated yet?

Wow what a beast! Congrats

Yeah, it appears not to be yet. I'm skeptical to given the types of constant fake accounts on here but if this is true, oh yeah!!! That would be sweet. :)

Fantastic fish! Congratz!

If it was at the AFGA awards why so long to get it listed as the new record.

If it's for real then I am sure happy for the guy and I also learned maybe I should be jigging a len Thompson. In any event that is one awesome fish and a catch of a lifetime.

I was out ice fishing with my Dad's friend and told me to jig a Len Thompson...So pulled out my five of diamonds and sure as hell....Caught pike on it all day long:sHa_shakeshout:

In the 70's jigging Len Thompson spoons was how 95% of the people fished.

WoW!!!! A Monster!!!

FIFY, I grew up fishing in Sask, don't remember ever using a spoon for jigging.

Must be an Alberta thing then... remember as a kid Len Thomson spoons jigged through the ice. Go out on lakes like utikima and such almost all were jigging spoons. Did I post on sask outdoors or something?:thinking-006:

Wow, what a huge fish. Congrats

Thanks for the congrats. I didnt jigg just left it right at the bottom and started pulling up and it just felt heavy. And i just checked and it is in the alberta outdoorsmen mag here is the link.http://www.albertaoutdoorsmen.ca/record-book.html

Well done Sam.

Also not currently a member of the IGFA yet so that is why it isnt up on there site.

I noticed both your and Sean Konrad's are listed at 25lb 2oz.

I think you guys need a fish off to break the tie. :)

Awesome!!!
Congrats, that is a giant ling...

Unbelievable!!!
Congratulations!!!
Once in a lifetime kind of fish.

Very cool monster. Thanks for the pic

Thanks for the link. That says it all.
Nice work!! Congrats! The king is not dead. :)

How about 39 Hours: Burbot King :sHa_shakeshout:

Wonder if they are doing another 39 hrs....? Would love to see another.

Wow what a beast. Heard rumours but no pics. Ty to the peeps who said good words about us. Yes a little jelly about this beast but then again there's always bigger out there and gives a guy the drive to chase after it. 😀😀. If it does go threw as a world record threw IGFA it would likely be a tie.
Hope you get a good taxidermy guy and this fish doesn't go to waste. Was tough finding someone to do our 25.2 Advanced taxidermy in Toronto FYI .
Sorry haven't bin logged into this forum for quite some time. I'll try and keep up to date now 👊👊👊.

Hope you do. Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

I actually did have it done. It was hard but found someone to do a skin on job which makes it look beautiful i will post pictures of it tomorrow. It did come out to 11.5 kg on the scale idk where the mess up happened but it does come out to be 25 lbs 3 oz. But i agree with you fishinggeek we both snagged great fish and we should be proud of them and yes there are bigger ones foresure. And thank you to everyone who has posted on here its just awesome hearing from many different people. Keep up the posts!!!
