I caught a bass that big last night on a skitter pop! The lure was almost as big as him!

Who know's what the fish are thinking when they eat things like that ???

i was using a hook & split shot with a 2.5" emerald shiner minnow near bottom--
 my brother was using a small jighead tipped with a minnow
    tried lively leaches and nightcrawlers -no bites on those
