More on Burbot
Description from Wikipedia:
The burbot (Lota lota), often referred to as a "junkfish", is a freshwater fish related to the cods. It is also known as the lawyer, and (misleadingly) eelpout, and closely related to the common ling and the cusk. It is most common in streams and lakes of North America and Europe above 40°N latitude. They are fairly common in Lake Erie but are also found in the other Great Lakes.
In Britain, the burbot is possibly an extinct fish as it is believed that there have been no documented catches of the species since the 1970s . If the burbot does still survive in the UK, the counties of Cambridgeshire and Yorkshire (particularly the River Derwent or River Ouse) seem to be the strongest candidates for areas in which the species might yet continue to survive . There have been plans to re-introduce this freshwater member of the cod family back into British waters but these have yet to come to fruition.
The genus and species name "lota" comes from "la lotte," the old French word for "codfish." The Inuktitut word for burbot was used to name the extinct species Tiktaalik.
In 1994, the World Record burbot was caught on Lake Athapapuskow, Manitoba, during the Flin Flon Fish Enhancement Society's Burbot Derby, by Vaughan Kshywiecki. The fish weighed 22 pounds 8 ounces and measured 42 1/2 inches long.
