Now that I have managed to catch one I want to cook it. I plan on deep frying in a dutch oven on a propane burner. Will any old burner do or are there special needs?

As long as you have a fire you can cook it.
Make sure your Dutch oven will sit securely on it. Also, a thermometer is important and try to let it settle in at 350 degrees for. few minutes before starting. The more oil the better the temperature stays, the more fish the more it will plunge, so add fish at a rate that allows the burner to keep the oil at temperature.

I cook all my fish at 375. Cut up fish will not take 1.5 min. to full cook and float .
Just about any they sell as fryers or boilers will work. To suggestions, make sure burner has a wind guard around it. And make sure you get one that has the pot retainer built in. Spilling a pot of hot oil into a raging fire can lead to disaster.
cheapest one is what I got and it came with EVERYTHING in the box , just saying
Those every thing in a box kits are nice
