Large minnows 6 to 8 inch hooked in the lips……….
Any artificial bait.
minnows and/or liver
Best bait to use is live bait shinners minnows tadpoles frogs.
Regardeing hooking into a big bass depends on where you are from of course ; but the best places is southern florida
Texas or sothern california
bright colored lures or plain worms. i actually have caught the biggest bass on just worms.
shad crankbait
This is going to be a person opinions answers again!
Real big bass you say then stick with a live shiner fished under a cork! I would go with a shiner about 8 to 12 inches long if I new I was fishing in BIG bass waters!If in waters the bass may not be say over 5 or 7 lbs I would go with smaller ones.I also throw large topwater baits for large bass (like frogzilla and others) because it is a little harder for small bass from 1 to 3 lbs to take them!
I say this because you did specify “a very big one”!
Plastic worms have probalby accounted for more bass than any other kind of bait. They are very versitile and can be fished from the top to the bottom. You can get any size needed from tiny three inch worms to monsters over 10 inches long. And the come in all colors of the rainbow – and hundreds more. Rig them Carolina style, Texas style, on a jig head, weightless and any other way you can imagine and they will catch bass.
I agree with Injun , large wild shiners are the best bait for big bass
here is some info on them

A topwater lure can be the best way to catch a really huge bass. A Zara Spook is my favorite topwater bait and caught some giants on it. You can’t beat the excitement from getting a hit on these baits.
If you want to learn more about topwater fishing for bass I would suggest you take a minute and read this article.

Good fishin’ friend!
I personaly think that plastic worms are the best for Bass fishing. But I’d say, live bait, plastic worms, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, most top waters (depends on the weather), jigs, you name it.
That one that said “Liver” lol. I have been Bass fishing along time and never have I heard someone say use Liver for largermouth Bass. For catfishing I could see, but Bass? Come on!
Early in the morning and, late in the evening, I prefer any kind of topwater popper. in between, I prefer Zoom super flukes fished on a 2/0 worm hook, with no weights. white pearl in clear water and, black or, another dark color in muddy or, stained water.
There is no one best bait. The answers you are recieving are going to be all opinionated. The best bait there is is actually the one you have the most confidence in. For me that would be senkos/dingers and spinnerbaits
good luck on trying to find the big one though.
Night crawlers are the best. Rigged on a slip sinker with a 3 foot leader. Don’t set the hook until they start to move off with it
big bait equals big bass. Lizard, live crayfish are very good.
