Last night I threw the 7" slammer for the first time. Don't think that only the big fish will hit them. I caught 6 fish between 2 and 3lbs. Between three guys throwing all sorts of baits the slammer was by far the most productive. Needless to say, I will be throwing the big baits a lot more often, especially at night.

Ive caught a bass no bigger than the Muskie Jitterbug I threw out into the night. Those things are silly big....generally big bass lures too.

Its all good. ;-)

Very cool! I have to get out and do some night fishing.

It was pretty cool to chuck out the slammer and just hear it get annihilated as I brought it back in.

Last year i started throwin' bigger baits and my observations are:

- like Dan said, listening to your big plug get smoked by a Bass in the dark of night, now that'll make ya change your skivves!

- Bass are like me at a buffet, My eyes are bigger than my stomach. They'll eat somethin' as big as they are.

- Old school Bassin was all about using 5"jointed floating minnows,big black Jitterbugs (like EastMark said), Uncle Josh Porkers, 6"Zara Spooks. It seems there is a new rave about using big lures,but because we all went finesse for the last five years or so, we're coming full circle to more traditional size Bass lures IMO. 8-)
