What are the Numbers on it?  Would like to know how much it weighed.

"Brochu's father measured the fish and it was 37 inches in length and 22 inches around.  But the anglers had no clue what it might weigh."

"...the present Ontario record burbot weight of 15.8 pounds. That fish was caught by Ernie Arpin on March 14, 2003, and measured 36.5 inches by 21 inches around."

Ok thanks for the info.  I once caught a 38 incher on lake of the woods and the guide said it was the biggest one he has ever seen.  It wasn't as fat as the one in the above picture but it made for good eating.  I would have guessed it to have been around 10-12 lbs.

You might have eaten a Canadian record! Not many people could make a claim like that!

The guide showed us how to clean them and how to cook them and it was amazing.
