I don't blame you for not going in the super cold back in the day with your dad. its cold out there we used to sit on buckets and lawn chairs while out ice fishing at -30+ degrees air temps just to ice fish now we have ice shacks nice comphy chairs and ice shacks with heaters.

We used to catch them while jigging lake trout in 80 feet of water. I learned later that they were called eel pout. We knew em as burbot, but also "lawyers". They called em that because they were bottom feeders! Not that all lawyers are that, but you get the idea

yup the one lake we fish mostly for lake trout has a lot of them in it to and we catch a lot fishing for lake trout. the other lake is rainbows, browns and cutthroat trout. Some kokniee salmon, a few smallmouth bass and some white fish.
They sure have a lot of names Lawyers is pretty nice compared to what a lot of guys around here call them that don't like them.
