Eelpout to eclipse walleye as state fish!

[Fish On!]

Trust me, the Burbot's service to fishermen as a quality game fish is well deserving of being elevated to "State Fish."

...back to that recipe I was working on. you're Quentin Tarantino reference has inspired me. Behold the Burbot Royale with Cheese! Or maybe simply, Le Burbot.

Are you all familar with a homebuilt toy called the spud gun? PVC pipe, powered by butane or lighter fluid. Shoots potatoes. ANYHOW, A couple of young guys on Mille Lacs were having a fun feud with a neighboring fish house and assalted them with eelpout, using the spud gun. If we used such a weapon on Iraq, they would be beaten to their knees within a week. But it would be labelled as a weapon of mass destruction. And the toxic effect would render the area unlivable for years to come.

Anybody know where you could buy an eelpout mailbox?

icehousebob, that would be a good idea we could get rid of two pests at the same time

I am familiar with the "spud gun." Launching a potato(e) at the ice house accross the lake is always good clean family fun, but I cannot condone the use of Burbot ammunition. (unless of course Burbot shoots farther than potatoes. Then you may be on to something).

As for Eelpout mailboxes, I wonder if there isn't a huge niche for Lota Lota merchandising. I know of a brew pub in St. Paul that serves an "Eelpout Stout." But I think a killing could be made on Burbot T-shirts, picture frames, stationary, breakfast cereals, lawn ornaments, toilet paper, flame throwers etc. I'm sure boomers from the city are getting tired of the cheesey loon, moose, and bear stuff adorning their "cabins." Why not lota lota wall paper or burbot reading lamps? I envision an eelpout motiff craze sweeping the great state of Minnesota!
