It's amazing how small a bait really big bass will eat. My personal best LMB weighed a smidge over 8# and came on a 3" curltail grub. My best SMB weighed 7# and she ate a 1/2 oz rattletrap. I cant tell you how many big bass I've had weighed in during my years as a tournament director that were caught on micro sized baits like shakey head jigs and 3" frenchfry plastic. Just because they're big doesnt keep them from taking advantage of a feeding opportunity, regardless of the size of the bait. Protein is protein, I guess.
After I caught my breath and got over my mild heart attack, I had to laugh at myself. Then I was just thrilled at least one of my bass is still cracking heads.
