Too big or just right

Yes i know the question has been asked before but I received a request to produce a grub that's well a little larger than LIFE i think but thats what the guy wanted so here's a pic, now will this thing be too big or will it be the size of the bass at the end of the line that will be determined by the huge size of the lure?

The green grub in the pic is a Zoom Fat Albert (just for size refference purposses)

If there are any 3.5kg+ fish in the dams this dude is fishing and he doesn't want to waste time with dinks then I'd say it is big enough.

My one concern would be what hook he is going to rig with since the body is so fat? Going to need deep sea jigs which means deep sea tackle.
 
Ok, so here are the dimensions

20mm thick (diameter of the body)

120mm long (length of the body only)

182mm long (including the tail)

I too think the 8/0 EWG will be sufficient as it's one mother of a hook and the EWG is really Extra WIDE so no probs should be encountered with the proper hook alignment when gigged.

Now I know this will get fewer bites but I'm pretty sure that the bites it's gonna get will be worth the wait and effort, perhaps it's just nuts!!!
