The Great Bait Debate: Do Big Baits = Big Fish?

You know the old adage, big bait = big fish. But does this actually hold true? I've seen a massive gator trout swallow a mid-fight hooked 14" redfish whole, with poor Spotty's tail still poking out of the mouth of the trout once retrieved. I've also seen a 42" snook eat a 2" DOA curl tail soft plastic.
