A New World Record Burbot for the Fishing Geeks

by JD on April 26, 2010

The Geeks are en fuego!

The Fishing Geeks have struck again! This time, the dynamic fishing duo of identical twins Adam and Sean Konrad, teamed up for this IGFA all-tackle world record 25.2-pound burbot, that Sean hooked in Sascatchewan’s Lake Diefenbaker on March 27.

The jumbo “ling,” as they often called, ate a whole herring soaked on a medium spinning outfit. The catch is just another feather in the Geeks’ already impressive fishing resume. When it receives final approval, this will be the 10th IGFA certified world record for the Konrad boys — the most impressive of which was the all-tackle, 48-pound record rainbow trout from the same lake that Sean caught back in September of 2009.
