And even if I get flamed for saying this:
If you do....you are an idiot not worthy of holding a fishing rod.

X2. Those are fine tasting fish and shouldn't be wasted by leaving rot on the ice.

Absolutely, I don't even touch the stinking things. In fact I left a 10 pounder yesterday for the coyotes, caught it in a perch lake that's not suppose to have burbs. I did however take my 15 perch all 10 and 11 inches.

It's perfectly legal to do so, so I do. Waste of a fish. Such a disappointment when lake trout fishing to see a burbs head come through the ice.

That's your opinion. That's like saying just because alcohol is legal to buy, it isn't right to buy it. All your opinion, everyone has different values and views of what's right.

Growing up in northern Sask, we always left them on the ice, and know a lot of ppl who still do, but now that I know better and realize how tasty they are, they end up in the fry pan.

they're one of my favorite fish to catch and definitely my favorite to eat.
for those of you who don't, there are many people who would appreciate you throwing them back.

If you don't want it, why do you waste it?
I don't get it.
Sorta like keeping cow hooves and chucking out the prime rib.

We used to use sturgeon for fertilizer. It was legal.
Burbot populations are quickly declining due to increased angling pressure.
Unless it is within a defined management program, culling any fish is an abuse of our natural resources.
It is not the action of a sportsmen to be wasteful.

Maybe you could explain why you would waste a fish, I'm sure several readers do not understand what purpose it serves.

Less burbs in a system means more forage for quality gamefish. Suckers are in the same boat as burbs, both make great spring bear bait.

If I could catch one I certainly wouldn't leave him on the ice...
A fish is a fish, regardless of looks.
One mans trash, is another mans food in this case...

The human race is beginning to make me sick. just because its not "desireable" doesn't make it right to leave them for dead on the ice.

Did you know that "quality gamefish" forage on burbot?
If we get rid of all the species some people think are undesirable, there won't be much left for the more desirable species to feed on.
One lake where I catch whitefish, I find that they feed about 50/50 on juvenile burbot and sticklebacks.

Damn City Slickers, scared of a little Burbot. Best frying fish out there next to Walleye and Perch ( not 10-11" Perch). 12-14" orange belly jumbo Yellow Perch. The one's that famous "Kimowan lake" produces. . We call em footballs.

Sorry mate , burbot is actually crucial to the system in any lakes they naturaly occur in . Learn the life cycle of the burbot. Then you will understand the damage done by the discarding of burbs. Highest egg to body mass of any fresh water fish ,something to start one down the road.
