I've heard that you catch big bass on big lures. What has been your most effective big bass lure?

Buckeye mop jig in PB&J

buzzbait

Around here 5+ lbs is considered "big". Honestly I have caught big fish on just about everything I do. It's more about time, place, and presentation, then a specific lure.

I've caught more "big" fish on a 5" Senko than anything else. I've also caught a few hundred small ones on them as well.

A jig and craw or senko.

[flippin and pitchin]

Swimbait and a jig.

Either a Fat Ika or 7" Senko. No artificial can top them, except the big swimbaits. However with those 8" Hudds and other huge lures, you're looking at tossing them for a long time in between strikes. Sometimes all day long with nothing to show for it. The lead two plastics cited produce all day long, both big and small bass. And I like to catch fish, regardless of their size.

Catching bass of any size is about location more than it is about lure selection. Gary Klein explained it best this way, if there was a Bush in the back of a cove with a 5# bass in it & Denny Brauer when by he would catch it on a black/blue jig. If KVD when by that same Bush he would catch it on a spinner bait & if Rick Clunn went by that same Bush he would catch on a buzz bait. It was not the lure selection but location of the bass.

What percent of the time do you fish with a plastic worm Catt?

BINGO! My ideal location to catch hawgs would have to be on the edges of slop or in around sparse vegetation using a hollow body frog.

Scrutch, I throw worms 60% of the time when I'm fishing a Texas rig which is 75% of the time. I fish deep water structure & thick grass so a Texas rig or Jig-N-Craw are logical lure selections.

Flippin a jig or a "creature" bait has produced my biggest fish.
