Inbowkiller, I would not feel bad. Man, If the 2nd place team could not catch 7 legal crappie, it must have been tough for all on the lake on this day. Again, when things get tough, live minnows are hard to beat even though they may be a pain to use versus a 'gig'. I love using gigs, but always have a couple dozen minnows with me in case they will not bite a gig no matter how you fish the gigs.
