Largest fishing lure to ever catch a fish?

[Berrero]

Chatting with friends tonight and this topic came up. We couldn't find much online other than the large replica lures when searching. 

 

Does anyone know of something online? Or any contenders?

I can’t find it online anywhere but I remember in the early 00’s Rod Mackenzie using and Australian made jointed lure for Murray cod that imitated a water dragon that was around 500mm. I’ll see what I can find

Hi all....what about the lure that looks like a seal that they use to get photos and vids of great white sharks.
