we don't have a limit on them here and I haven't caught one in years , might have to hit the river as soon as the ice leaves to see if I can nail some

Thanks Bob for the clairifcation. I was at work and couldn't respond.
Yes, freshwater cod it is! Some other name are: Eelpout, burbot, lawyer, ling cod. They are excellent table fare! We usually take the backstraps and tail meat, cube it up, boil it in a crab boil or 7-Up and dip in butter!
Right now is pre-spawn and these fish are moving from the deepest parts of the lake 40 - 100+, onto mid-lake humps and sharp breaks adjacent to shallow water.
They are a fast action fish! No nibbling, looking at the bait in wonderment, they just straight-up freight train the lure!!
