Perch at Waukegan

[ironman]

Took my dad, brother and 3 boys perchin out of Waukegan. Day started out good but got real windy quick. We did O.K. taking 25 before getting blown off. We fished 50 to 55 fow just east of the harbor. My youngest caught what I think was a dogfish. Any one know what it is (pic below)? My oldest had a double on a crappie rig.

He may have caught a burbot. We have a great tutorial on how to upload and post pictures. It is located here.

Matt,

Here is your picture. It is a burbot.

They say this is a realy good fish to eat. I hope you did not throw it back. This is one of the few fish I have never caught.

See this post here about it.

Identify the fish!!

I did wind up throwing it back. I did not even know what it was so I was not going to bring it home. If i ever get one again I will give it a try. How do you prepare them.
