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

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.

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?

I've always viewed a striper as a big trout or largemouth bass. These fish all like to be effiecient. Eat more, work less. Eating one big bait as opposed to hundreds of small ones just makes sense. Obviously they're opportunistic and a big fish will eat small stuff, but I think given a choice they're very likely to lean towards a larger bait.

Rockport wasnt really a question; bass love big baits, we've all caught 12" schoolies on 7" redfins or dannys, so bass do like big baits..
I agree Pete...

BRYAN you mad man, where do you find this stuff?? That pic looks like the world record "French Kiss" LOL of course they love big baits. I've had people tell me they caught large mouth bass on my 10" needle poppers Go figure. I've seen some wild fish.
