Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Any redear-specific strategies that have brought success for you?  I live near a state owned pond from which the Missouri Department of Conservation consistently sample (electro-fish) 9"+ redear.  In several trips over the past two years I have only iced two redears among countless gills and crappie.  Any thoughts?

Here's a nice 12" redear I caught while fly fishing for largemouth.
