Some of those Burbot look to have some shoulders to them. What were some of the lengths?

I ended up staying all night and doing really well the next morning for the burbot untill the wind blew me off the lake. For real! The wind blew me about 40 feet across lake before and I was able to dig in my heels and then the tent flipped over blowing all my stuff up on the the shoreline. By the time I was able to break down the ice tent and get my stuff to the car (I moved to where you were parked) where I had the tent was snowdrifted over with about 5" of snow. I had to dig through the snow to find my fish, any gear that I lost and WHOOSH! The snow had covered up my holes and I went right through up to my thigh. I gathered the burbot that I could find and got the he!! out of there. Just my luck I-80 was closed at Fort Bridger so I spent the night at a hotel in Lyman. Can't wait to go again! I ended up with 11 burbot but only found five before I checked the ice depth with my leg. All five had atleast three crawdads 1"-2.5" in their belly. The smallest one had seven 'dads in his gut and a chunk of shiner meat. Wonder where that came from [crazy] ? My largest was 23" and thick. There sure is alot of meat on those burbot and a pretty simple bone structure which make them easy to fillet.
