New All-Tackle World Record Burbot Caught in Lake Diefenbaker, Saskatchewan
On the morning of Saturday, March 27, 2010, Sean Konrad pulled a 25.2 pound burbot from the waters of Lake Diefenbaker in Saskatchewan, Canada. Pending certification, the fish, a freshwater cod (Lota lota), will be recognized by both the International Game Fish Association and the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame as the new all-tackle world record for the species.

Thet is a big ugly fish.
But I bet it would be just right, fried with lemon juice squeezed onto it.
That's HUGE!!!!!!
I think I would have had a stroke! That is friggi'n HUGE!!!!!
Among freshwater fish, this creature will win no beauty contests...but I'd still like to see it take my hook and, yes, I would release it!
3 record fish in one lake? I know where I'm fishing!
Besides monster burbot and rainbow what else does this lake hold?
Congrats to these guys - they spend the time and effort and have the knowledge to make it happen.
That thing is a monster, congratulations!
The lake has good pike and walleye fishing aswell. Also it is in Saskatchewan not Manitoba
man thats ugly i wonder what it taste like
That has a wired face. Awesome catch though, I would love to have it on the end of my line
thats a big fella. Congrats buddy
FRESHWATER COD YUM
In Green Bay, Wisconsin that baby would make booyah for the whole neighborhood.
Great catch! Ugly, to be sure, but then....many VERY TASTY fish ARE!
So....Was it Booyah or catch-n-release?
Does age add to flavor?
That is huge though.
That's a lot'a lota lota!
(Somebody had to say it. . . )
In Picture 9 you can see the remains of a fish they cut up and I assume used for bait. Pretty sure it's illegal in Saskatchewan to use any part of a game fish for bait. Next time you might want to leave the evidence out of the photo.
Hey Tanabe... quit being a troll dude!
I'm reporting you.
How is that being a troll? This is a sportfishing site not a poaching site.
that is one ugly fish, nice catch though!
Are they the same people that caught the world record rainbow?
When you get it certified, I think your going to find that you actually caught a "bowfin" or as it's commonly known, a "Dogfish".
I've caught both species here in Minnesota and the head is unmistakable.
Burbot? Bowfin? Who cares as long as it's a record! Good job!
Comment to TANABE: Ive been fishing sask my whole life, before you go to the extreme as saying these guys were poaching, you should check the rules out. You dont have any idea what the rules are, do you?
lol.

You can't waste a game fish plan and simple. If they were to clean it, count it as one of their limit then use the leftover guts fine. Sorry but them are the rules.
That is the ugliest fish ever, but wouldn't mind seeing that thing pull MY bobber under any day of the week.....Nice fish
Obviously a determined angler!
Amazing example of Lota lota, most likely between 50-100 years old...or older. I hope you released it to spawn again.
Hey Tanaba. "You assume?" that they are using gamefish for bait? And you have factual support to back up that claim?
Just remember what happens when "you assume." What a cynical twit.
awesomness is the only way I could describe this...
Great fish. that is a Burbot or Ling as we call them in MT. They taste great. deep fry strips of fish, mix shredded cabbage with plain yogurt and lime juice. salsa on the side, wonderful fish tacos!
Hey Guys I happen to be a Saskatchewan resident too,and I also happen to know a fellow "Ryan Yaworski" That caught this exact same World Record Burbot but he let it go and has PHOTOS and weights to go with. So all I have to say is "way to go Ryan".Some people will do anything to become famous, not to bad mouth the twins (Good Luck in the Future)
