Do bass like big baits?

What do you think real or fake?
Either way a cool pic
SWS had a similar pic of a roosterfish that choked and washed up...

That only counts as one fish right?
I've caught freshwater bass that were smaller than my plug before. I wouldn't doubt it.

One from the lip ripper

Absolutely. Many times I have taken 20 bass on live herring or big plugs. Back a ways we used to throw Gibbs 5-1/8 oz. Pencil poppers in the canal. Outfitted with three 4/0 trebles and about 15 inches long. We regurlarly caught 5 pound bass on them.

Why even try.........

Of course this happens plenty in Nature-- although the biggest fish you'd think too smart to eat prey "too" big, esp. like this...

More importantly: unless this is fake or somebody's mount, that's a truly amazing Cow! (Would love to know where approx. on the East Coast she washed up?) Looks to my eyes (usually as accurate as a scale) like a 68 lb. fish, give or take a couple. Looks like a Weakfish (Squet to you NE'ers) around 10- 12 lbs. in it's mouth to me too?

Even if a faked pic, that's quite a days catch for somebody! Think I last saw her on the (then-) Great Backside in Sept. of '98, rolling on & missing my also very large Metal- lip at dawn, looking me in the eye from 15 yards away, & then waving that same broom-tail goodbye!

this is a good question, but it kind of leads to the question does bigger bait mean bigger fish?

here's my buddies california striper taken on an 8" soft trout, judging by the size of the striper on the east side you could probably throw baits over 12" if you wanted to
