I dont think the guy with the 29" rapala has a chance. the lure is more than he can handle.
Wegner's wife will catch a fish on that bait. True giant is possible

still laughing at the rapala guy thanks for posting

If you believe a big, lazy female fish wants to eat one a third of her size, then for sure.

I am convinced that there is no large bait that cannot be attacked ... but giant bait does not always correspond to a giant predator ...

Crank homemade 17", pike 38,5"

https://ibb.co/D1cKT18
Bulldawg pounder, zander 37"

Jake 14", zander 35,5"

these are some of the examples, but I have had quite a few similar situations

I think in general:

Big baits = Big muskies + very few small muskies.
Smaller baits = small, medium and large muskies.

If you are fishing tight to structure or on the "spot", I think you can trigger big muskies maybe almost as well with the smaller lures.

If you are fishing big open water or covering a lot of water, a big bait will attact more big fish as it can be more easily seen (or vibration sensed) from a distance.

I think it all depends on the mood of the fish, the forage base, and how frequently they feed. A buddy of mine explained it this way... "Sometimes, you're really hungry and want a full steak dinner. Once you finish, you may be absolutely stuffed and may not want another bite.... until someone walks by with a bag of Mini Reese's peanut butter cups.... you still grab one". I think muskies are a lot like the people who pursue them. Opportunistic feeders.

That truly is a classic! When I read your post I thought, I bet it's the chicken video.
