You'd be surprised at how fast those big fat girls can move when an easy meal (aka trout) sloshes past- a trout is an easy protien filled meal for the big girls, they will bust some ass when you least expect it to grab a trout, or a nice replica! A female largemouth saving her strength for spawning might surpise you. They need all the calories they can get before spawning, that's why that big ugly AC might do it. The same giant plugs that nail the big stripers will also trick the double digit largemouth. Keep chucking, it will pay off! I have one of those Fin-s-fish, haven't really tried it, how do you work one of those things??
