Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

If you were going to fish in a one-fly tourney for bluegill, what would you use?  I would likely pick a black wooly bugger with some red.

The old W B is a good choice, but since we've had a lot of rain and the waters are pretty dark, I believe I'd choose something like an Improved McGinty, with the yellow and black stripes and a red tail.  Or, the famous Bully Bluegill Spider in yellow or white.

Green damsel nymph.. I've had many 100 plus fish days on it.  Second would be black and red popper.
