Too big is only a problem if you have to cast the lure. Casting I would say 10 to 12" max, but your makeing it hard for yourself, better at 6 to 8", far more controle on what your casting at. Trolling and you can get away with anything up to 2 feet, possably even bigger.

I know people Throwing 12inch swim baits for Large Mouth bass. Bigger the bait bigger the fish. My biggest bait that I will be using is 9inch.

The top one is 9inch. Have not tossed the 9inch yet. You can tell which baits I have got fish on.
