Geez, don't know how I missed this before. Yep, that is a good black drum!

Anyone been trolling around the dock with grappling hooks fishing for poles lately?

Its been well over 30yrs since I ate a piece of black drum caught in the Chesapeake Bay. I had always heard that it tastes " clammy " bc they eat a lot of them. That was my impression of them. The one I caught had worms, so it got tossed into the woods & the last one A/C caught got left out all night by accident & had to be tossed into the woods. The critters have not complained about them at all.

I think ninering62 should hold on a rod quite nicely, just look at the size of his hands. We call them catchers mits where i come from. They got to be 3 times the normal size. Lmao

Yes he does have big hands. They work great when moving the couch.

Start of the season here. Kinda slow making ice but we were able to venture out a little ways. Sure felt good to drill some holes

Not off to as good a start as last year but thats ok ....

I haven't caught one that big in years. Nice grab. Always enjoyed eating them too as long as I wasn't the one cleaning them. I know of the process but never got good at it so I could never eat them without worrying about a y bone in the back of throat for a week.
