Who know's Joe, I'm not a believer that a bigger bait will produce the bigger fish. The conditions definitely helped with the catch rate but I'm a big believer in swim preparation and even on my local Wye which has a huge head of fish it definitely makes a big difference if you can give them...
All from the same swim Joe, water was just below the banks and coloured.The fish ranged from 5lb to just over 9lb and no the biggest didn't come first, If I remember correctly it was somewhere in the middle.
I always work on the principle of the fish reacting the same when I cant see them as they do when I can. I'd be more inclined to think that the 12lber on the severn was a lone fish and hence why you caught it first. I had 9 fish one afternoon on the Lower where you fish Joe and all those came...
My findings on smaller rivers where the fish can be watched is that its the smaller fish that will feed first and only after a period of baiting and when the fish are feeding confidently will the biggest fish in the group enter the swim first. This can often take a couple of hours of feeding though.
