Interesting topic. The answers will be screwed some as not everyone fishes the same baits, has the same type of lakes, and enjoys the same types of techniques. Should be some diverse baits listed by everyone.

 

So if someone is posting their top 5 biggest bass and they are all on moving baits or all on plastics it may be that is their confidence bait or what they use 90% of the time.

 

I don't weigh my fish typicall so all I have is a measurement or two and some photos if I am lucky. Off the top of my head something like...

 

1. Zoom super fluke in Black

2. Berkley power lizard in some sort of purple with flake

3. Topwater frog 

4. Zoom Money hound

5. Jig

 

I fish hardbaits far less than most, especially cranks and spinnerbaits/blades jigs. So 90% of the time I am tossing a jig, some sort of plastic bait or a topwater.
