3wt Dilemma

I brought the 3wt to my local water just before noon expecting only to catch small fish but then this 18-19" SM Bass hooked onto the Green Hornet (or rather the Mississippi Maiden in a smaller size).  This 4 lb fish was a bit much for my 3wt even though it is a fast action.   Lots of jumps which SM do.  I did get several small sunfish (and large ones), small bass and perch but I also got  four or five 14 and 15 inch SM and LM Bass.  Now the question remains, do I bring my 5wt next time and get skunked?  ST75F so not that warm.  The lake is only 12 feet at the deepest but my action was in the 6-8 foot depth range casting into shallower water using a dry line and long leader (10ft).  The MM has a gold bead and I also had on a beaded Coney Leech at time to get it down.   Later in the afternoon when the water was calm, I put on a couple of dries and had some small fish action sometimes two at a time.
