Best Bait for Big Largemouths?

[anthonyebola]

  I live in Maine, and usually use medium-large Shiners in shallow fertile bass lakes... my success has been average so fAR... IS THERE A DIFFERENT BAIT i SHOULD BE USING?

i fish southern maine too, and as far as i know, med. and large shiners are the best baits you can get for bass around here...haven't really caught any bass on anything else...try some pike sized suckers (8"-10"). ive never caught a bass on one, only pike, but it seems like they would work to me.

jumbo sized shiners at least 5-6" for the best bass... they cant resist em

if you can get your hands on 'em i've caught some big bass in minnesota on 9-10" creek chubs.  i use to trap 'em, and they work great for everything. shiners, though, are alot easier to come by

use a medium sized shiner about  3 or 4 incjes long
