A couple of thoughts:

1) Are you sure that there are bigger fish around? Not every body of water is loaded with 12-inchers.

2) Even if there are bigger fish around, it doesn't sound like there's a lot of them. So, fishing for them specifically would probably mean a lot less action. If you're fishing with a five-year old, action is important. They usually don't have the patience to wait it out for a big fish.
