Go big. My biggest Michigan bass have mostly come while fishing using gear I'd typical throw for northern pike. When I was in high school i used to throw a salmon j-plug... i didnt know any better, when i wasnt fixing tangles (since the lure was not meant to be cast) I broke my personal best bass multiple times over that summer throwing that lure. My biggest michigan bass to date remains a 7.5 lber that hit a magnum shad rap. Those and a 10-12 inch power worm account for a good number of my biggest bass.
Availability, just like whitetail deer. Everyone would love a big old elk hanging from their fireplace, not everyone has access to them. Largemouth bass and whitetails have similar distribution, hence why they dominate the outdoor market
