Stick one of those big with a size 4 hook and free line it... If you have a reasonable bass population, it shouldn't take long.
I have done this a few times at a friend�s pond and hooked into a nice one. Well I think he just held it in his mouth as when it released the BG come flying back at my face.
The same night I hooked onto a LMB about 8-10 inches and just as I was about to pull it in Monster LMB came shooting out and sucked it right off my hook. It had to be the largest one I have ever seen, and of course could not get him others that size to bite while fishing for them.
