I agree that for large LMB, large flies or large lures tend to do better for me but there are exceptions. Namely, educated LMB that no longer take large flies and large lures after being caught on them for so long but only bite smaller flies and smaller lures.

Another exception is when I caught a 10 lb. LMB sow (she was roed) in a deep hole on a small creek on a commercial #8 Dixie Devil (yellow chartreuse) popper a long time ago .
