Well you clearly found the crappie and enough of the others for an interesting day. I too lost a few that came unbuttoned last weekend and that was with #6 hooks. I think paying attention to how much of the body fills the hook gap could be part of the issue, too deep in the plastic. Not at all sure I’ll get out this weekend with the heavy traffic, early in and early out if I do. I found a nice area last weekend that’s screaming at me to come back with a beetle spin, LOTS of down trees. Couple of big gators rumbled at me too. Glad you found enough to make the drive worth it.
