What is the best bait to catch the big Bass?

Question: I have tried all sorts of artificial bait in our lake and can only seem to catch the smaller up to 12 inch Bass. You can see the larger ones swimming around and just looking at the bait but they dont go for it. What do I need to do differently to get them interested. Spinners, rapalas, rubber worms, etc. catch plenty of the small ones..... Thanks,

Answer: Yeppp Brandon is right (as usual) minnows are better than worms because only larger fish can eat minnows and sunnies cannot. I say go for the live bait and stick with your Rapalas. try doing the tap tap reel technique with the Rapalas if you know what I mean...tap tap reel tap tap reel...well duh that was obvious. Also spinnerbaits work to perfection especially in the hot weather like in August.
