For our fish, I run a size 4 hook (not 4/O) for steelies on a 4 inch pearl pink Beenie Weenie worm. I'll even run size 6 hooks on the Head Hunter 4 inchers, and knock about an inch off to make them 3 inch worms.

A boat sunk in Lake Michigan last week. It was pulled out of 150 feet of water with 20 pound maxima and a 1/0 hook. The guard rail on the boat was slightly damaged, but he hook was fine.
