Large fish being relative to where you fish. For me, it's no contest.

Turkey sandwich reply :
Keel weighted Super Flukes ripped across the surface and then immediately allowed to die. I have no idea why I forgot about fishing these this way, but holy **** is it exciting watching fish smash them out of the water as soon as you pause them and let them fall.
Ratherbfishing reply :
Large bass...(?!) You're making a lot of assumptions there, cowboy. ; )
BUT the largest bass I've caught this summer was taken with a brown and orange skirted spinnerbait.
NoahWatts reply :
3/8 oz flipping jig
timsford reply :
Also no contest for me. During the day I've only fished ponds and the river once or twice and all my big ones were on swimbaits at daybreak or dusk. Mattlures ultimate gill in the ponds and Keitech 4.8 fat impacts in the river. At night I've fished larger lakes and dam tail races on the river and caught all my big ones on 1/2 oz night spinnerbaits in the lake and burple or albino colored bomber long A's in the river
papajoe222 reply :
Bill Norman FatBoy. My three biggest this summer were caught on it. Straight out of the package, third cast, both sets of hooks in her mouth, the first one was the biggest.
Todd2 reply :
Between work and remodeling a bathroom and bedroom, plus a deck tear out, I think I forgot. But I think it was a Zoom Ol Monster - California 420 fished after dark.

trupp30 reply :
For big bass it has been a 130 Perch Whopper Plopper. And for both good fish and numbers it has been a 3/8th Picasso shock blade in bluegill with a 3.8 Kietech swing fat in bluegill flash.

x2
130 size was responsible for 2 of the 5 fish I have caught over 4 lbs this year. Runner up is the swimjig but my 2 4+ lbers were caught in the spring (including my PB at 5.4). Other was on a spro rat.
Heron reply :
Fat Ika/T-rig craw.
Since June, the Ika has caught me 11 fish over 3.5lbs. Among them, 4 were 4lbs+, and 2 were 5lbs+. Additional Honorable mention goes to the T-rig Zoom Super Speed Craw, which brought in 3 additional 4lbers, and one 6lb+
scaleface reply :
My two largest this summer have come on a 6 inch Jelly worm .
BaitMonkey1984 reply :
I haven't had one superior big bass lure, but a few. I fish a lot of the berkley chigger craw, so naturally that produces some big fish due to purely numbers of fish caught. However, I have caught some big girls on the BPS 6" stick and the Zoom Magnum Finesse worm. Funny, also caught a decent 4+ girls on the ned. Not a lot of big hardbait fish this year.
S. Sass reply :
Texas rigged 8" ribbon tail worm. Not sure of the brand I have had them for a long time one 1/2 is a dark brown and the other half is a light brown and they are covered in salt. The original packaging has long left the building.
Haven't really caught any pigs but considering its summer and it has produced some nice 3 to 4 pound lmb Ill call that a win.
I was catching them on the Pumpkinseed Zman ribbon tail worm but only had 5 and they got where they didn't want to stay up on the hook. I emailed Zman and they claim this color were no longer made. The only other tan/brown worm I had close was the ones I described.
Honestly they could be pink or what ever and I think they would work. I believe its more technique than color working right now.
BiteFiend reply :
The biggest bass I have caught this summer was on a 7" black and blue BPS ribbon tail t-rigged with a 1/4 oz weight in 8 fow. It was just shy of 21". Didn't get a weight.

Josh Smith reply :
Strangely, the topwater frog. I've used various styles, though, to replace my Hula Poppers and, to an extent, walking lures.
The jig follows that, with the spinnerbait almost tying.
Fourth in line is the squarebill crankbait.
The river, however, shows the squarebill and spinnerbait going neck-in-neck, just under different conditions.

skno reply :
For me its been the 1-, plopper and a fatboy. And I noticed all 3 have been working for others. The baby one minus and fatboy are legendary , but I just this year picked up a plopper and I am amazed at the success I have had with it.
