I caught this guy just as it was getting dark on a tip up. The best way I've found for tip up fishing for burbot is to use a single treble hook, and put one minnow on each hook point (three total). I place a split shot a foot or two up the line, and then let the entire rig lay right on the bottom. After it hits bottom I let out a couple more feet.
