As far as large fish go - Plugs are getting rage lately because there been so much big bait around esp. in the canal and they work well there. I've broken 40lbs on a plug but it was under a specific set of conditions that happens 5% of the time. The other 95% is eel fishing.

Eels are king for 2 reasons. Deadly on giant bass and you have the single hook factor. You hook the fish on an eel your percentages are very high for landing that fish. Lots can go wrong with plugs.
