Al's ice rig strikes again...record YP and BG are loving teardrop and waxie combo vertical jig around the dock. Even managed to land a chunky HSB which almost straightened the jig hook. Somehow I'm finally managing to produce some prodigious BG through aggressive culling and feeding strategies.

Warning: These photos has been enhanced due to poor light conditions and quality of IPhone photos.

This is the 4th YP around 14" in the last 4 months. Spawned out female.


Not a record length BG, but might be the best WR of any BG to date. 9.5" and 15.85 OZ.


Didn't get a weight on her, but she's pushing 11" and is the length record BG to date.



Didn't get a weight on this chunk, but was amazed I was able to haul her in at all. I instructed her that she needs to focus on pellets and BG moving forward, not waxies.
