Hi, all
I'm posting this on behalf of a friend. He doesn't have an account here and is too lazy to sign up one. lol.
He just caught a burbot last night Nov 26, 2021.
We brought this fish to Fishing Hole Calgary this morning hoping they could help with offical length and weight record. Unfortunately the staffs there couldn't do anything except for watching and taking photos.
Anyway here is some info about this fish
Weight: 9.465 KG, covert to 20.867 Lbs. Fishing Hole Current Record shows as 18lbs 11.8 oz and recordfishcanada.com shows 17lbs
The weight is taken at a post office so it should be "Offical" enough, right? Thanks for the earlier post about walleye record so we learned what to do about the weight.
Legnth: 42-1/8". You can tell the current measrement is pretty rough. I thought I have seen some types of measurement board are "approved offical ones" but now I cannot find such info. We will bring it to Cochrane wildlife office on Monday for measurement but Fishing Hole staffs told us the fish may shrink over this weekend. So if anyone can post me where can I find an offical approved measurement board, I'd rather get it properly measured this weekend.
The recordfishcanada.com record shows current record is 42". So maybe this one beats the record, maybe not. That's why we want to get an accurate length desperately.
Time Caught: Nov 26, 2021
Place of Caught: The Lake
through Ice Fishing.
**Ice is still unsafe at most places, BE CAREFUL**
Anyway, congratulations to my friend for this one!
Hopefully one day I can break a record by myself.
New Burbot Record?
