Largest lure (proportionally) to catch any fish

[Red Childress]

From a proportionality perspective, what is the largest lure you have ever caught a fish on before?? (For example, I have caught a few smaller, wild brook trout on 5 1/4-inch Rapalas that were at least 2/3 as long as the actual fish.)

This year i was using a bull dawg that with the tail out was 18 inch range and caught a 22 inch pike, It was a hungry little devil.

I caught a 18" Musky on a 10" Suick. A 17" smallmouth on a 9" leo.

Mine is a 14" musky on a 9" suick.... had over 1/2 down his throat! bunches of 9-12" small mouths on 3-4" lures....... it's amazing how big they think they are!

Caught a 12" Smallmouth on a spinnerbait I make that measures 10" from the lead to the tip of curly tail w/ bucktail in between and tandem sz8 blades.

I guess I smacked this bluegill right on the head when the lure landed!

Looks like you have yourself a little "gill trailer" to spice up the bait.
