The saying ‘big bait big fish’ or ‘big lure big fish’ don’t always hold true. Even very big fish do feed on very tiny prey. A good proportionate example may be the whale shark feeding on plankton so small we have trouble seeing them with our naked eyes.
When big predators are in an aggressive mood they will chomp down large prey without hesitation but they will also pick on the easy meals that are small prey.
Matching the hatch is important if small prey are in the area whether they are small fish or insects.
When the bites are not forthcoming, I have gotten results more than once when I downsized to smaller lures or flies, especially when the prey I’m trying to imitate are baitfish.

The photo of the school of anchovy is awesome :D I agree with your point of sizing down when fish don’t seem to bite
Thanks! Downsize and slower retrieve, too.
