Do big fish just "bump" your lure?

Love that tail slap!

let the plug sit there after twitch it like crazy for a couple seconds then nothing, then a couple barely noticeable twitches then CRUSH.

YES!!!!

I have found when using soft plastic (shads, sluggo, etc.) that bumps can be changed to smashes by using Smelly Jelly. I think the fish may veer off at the last minute because the plastic doesn't smell right. IMHO
