I've never heard of them either. So you trap them instead of hooking them? Good eating?

Had to look up what a cusk is, looks similar to an eelpout!

Cusk, eelpout and burbot are all one and the same. Nasty looking bottom dwellers but delicious white fillets. Fish tacos are on the menu this week. Also really popular for chowder.

In NH you are allowed 6 cusk lines, separate from your regular lines on certain lakes. Can be set and left for 24hrs, night bite is usually best. Can also jig them. 2 keepers overnight, this is the biggest.

I have only ever caught one eelpout in my life on lake of the woods. It was 2.5-3 lbs. It was slimy and kept trying wrap around my arm. Heard they were good so I kept it. It was disgusting to clean but we deep fried the filets on it and I honestly thought it was better than the walleye we ate with it.

Final product. Have enough for 2 meals.

Did have my first no start Sunday morning from the Pioneer when going to check the lines. Sat outside on the trailer all night and the low was -8. Cranked and cranked but she was real cold. Waited a couple hours in the sun and fired up. Anyone else have issues with cold weather starts?

Not with the Pioneer but have experienced that with snowmobiles. We'd just pull the plugs and heat them up with a lighter. Seemed to work.
