Joey Teofilo is eager to fish Lake Nipissing again after pulling up a giant burbot and dozens of walleye while his father and family friend got their lines wet off the South Shore last week.
They didn’t have a weigh scale the first afternoon when he caught the freshwater ling not long before sunset Jan. 4. He posted photos and a YouTube video on the Lake Nipissing Ice Fishing Board Facebook group page asking locals if it looked like a record-breaker.
“Lake Nipissing is a fish factory,” an enthusiastic Teofilo said when reached Saturday by cellphone as they were heading out on Lake Simcoe.
