Gflo - I know what you mean.
I was fishing UL in a small pond once throwing a tiny little plastic craw on a jig and my buddy shouted - Wow! that was a huge bass that just swam right past our boat!
About that time, I realized that I had that fish on and my line was moving out at a high rate of speed. It fooled me by swimming right back at me so I didn't detect any bite at first. And, I surely wasn't expecting anything like that!
Anyway, the fish turned and went back into heavy cover and broke off but, I know exactly what you mean.
For people who say that you have to use big baits to catch big fish, well...they haven't had the same experience as you and I had.
