I think bigger baits have more drawing power and sometimes followers....not necessarily more bites. Usually the "active" are smaller and inhale the smaller baits.

Because of the lake conditions you described I would make the same choice you did for day in and day out fishing. If you just want to target a big fish there I would throw a Huddleston swim bait and fish it very slow. Since the water is so clear, I would use a lot of natural looking colors and like someone already said, try to match what they are feeding on if you can find that out.

Well you must not be fishing out of a 75000.00 rig cause if you were it would be 4 to 8 lbers every time the line was wet

Do you have the option to do some night fishing? A lot of those fish may be solely nighttime feeders due to the immense amount of pressure it receives and the high visibility during daylight hours. I actually just read the new book by one of our fellow TFF members - Lunker Lore by Josh Alwine. He talks very specifically on the subject of highly pressured lakes and dedicates an entire chapter to the benefits of night fishing and how to go about doing it.

Go big or go home. Unless you are home then you can go small. Both work. Just need to get around some feeding big fish.
