When fishing larger 10 inch + worms how long do you set the hook after you feel a bite. I was fishing a fairly clear reservoir and saw this small 6 inch bass before it saw me and figured what the heck, I casted my 6 inch culprit ribbon tail at it and it took it and held it. I was watching patiently for it to take the hooked part of the bait in it's mouth but it just swim off holding the tail. I felt the tug and "set" the hook knowing full well I was going to miss the fish but it got me thinking. How long should you wait for average size bass (13 to 15 inches at this reservoir) to take a zoom ol monster or is it simply just a a matter of luck. I've never fished bigger than 7" worms but I hear they're great when the weather gets warm
