What are some tips for catching Largemouth Bass?

I'll be going freshwater fishing this summer and the lake I'm going to supposedly has some big bass. What are some tips for landing a big one?

2. fish at night and use a dark spinner that's all you need to know

3. gulp alive. its like gummy worms for fish and it comes in a bucket of "fish attracting scents"(it smells bad so wash ur hands b4 u eat) but the smell really attracts the fish

4. Ive been catching alot of big bass at a private lake on live bluegills. Hook them with a circle hook one time throough the top fin. When the bluegill starts going crazy in the water thats when the bass are coming. Expirement with it a little bit try having the bluegill flutter on top of the water, once it dies put on an alive one. Also white spinners about the size of my palm work really well. White, or black and red work well depending on how much light is getting into the lake. I also like using white twister tails with an 8 oz red painted jig. Goodluck
