How To Catch A Big Bass

If you had to chose a lure or bait to catch a big largemouth bass, what would you use?
I fish alot and catch many small bass, but would like to see if anyone has an opinion on what bait what bait would tempt a large bass.
I have caught one seven pound bass on a spinner bait, several over five pound bass on spinner baits and crank baits.

My best bass came on a weedless frog spoon riding over the top of the moss drug as slowly as I could stand! Getting the big bass is almost like getting the big buck or the big bull elk. 1) your lucky being in the right spot and right time. or 2) you did your homework and tracking and found where the big one hangs out and what he eats and when he moves to what cover in what temperatures...and what is going to get him to come out and snap on what you throw to him! The first is just as it says...LUCK! The second is based on experience. Think every time you see him hit. don't be lost in thought when you need to focus on him. What did he take? time/ temp etc. time of year. You'll start to see the patterns of the biggest bass in each lake you fish over time.
To specifically answer your question I would take a large frog type lure or minnow. Those have worked best for me on bass. The guy who has repeatedly caught the ever increasing state record for Minnesota uses a minnow lure. I understand the people have caught some huge bass down South using worms or fake worms. -good luck and keep trying.
...scum frogs or lizards...[;)]
ahh come Richard we know you use your homemade lure to catch the big ones [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]
