Came across a post on a different site selling burbot bomb jigs and they looked pretty interesting, and got me wondering if there were any areas close bad that had burbot. I know theyre found in east and central WI.
There really are not any burbot until you get farther north into Minnesota. I knowthe area very well and have never seen or caught a burbot, or heard of any. We have dogfish in that rea, which are similar. Best place for those that I know of is the Cranberry chain of lakes in Burnett Co. THats all I know. Hope this helps. 
I was ice fishing Big Butternut Lake in Luck WI a few years back, watching the Aqua Vu, when what looked d@#n close to a burbot came onto screen and laid on the bottom 5 feet from the camera for about 10 minutes, then swam away. That’s all that I know of.
yeah jake, the burbot bombs were for the walker fest where ever that is in MN.

Too bad you are not running a DVR along with your set-up so you could watch it again…or better yet share your captured piece so the CSI guys out there could help I.D. the creature in question.
Like these Ugly beasts!!
Fun to catch in the deep water…my first one totally freaked me out when it wrapped around my arm ! But you get used to it !
