bigger bait == bigger fish

So... dug out my old bait casting rig, re-spooled w/ 12lb test, and went fishing at lunch again.
Saw numerous fish in schools about the size I'd been catching on beetle spins and 4" worms, some chased my 1/4oz spinner but none bit.
Then dragged it over a drainage pipe exit... and wham! Caught me one about 3lbs.
Unfortunately my camera man claimed he had a project to work on instead of taking lunch, so no pic

It is easier for the old fish to see the big baits. Sometimes they just tear off the end away from the hook and lauf at you...
