I figured Omaha would comment on the Drum he seems to be one of the few that care about these fish. As they are much fun to catch and with the size in the pic are pretty tasty.
Omaha, what would you consider as prepared correctly?
The fish/fillets need to be iced right away and the red meat removed. That's basically it. Put that next to walleye and you won't know the difference.
Ain't the drum full of bones or something? I thought you couldn't just fillet them because of the bones? All I remember is my dad telling me when i was a kid was " that's a damn drum, full of bones and trash, throw it back" never even thought of keeping one since then lol
I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease..

No bones. Solid fillets. This is why I consider them to be the most underrated freshwater fish that swims.
The wife caught another nice fish last night. I'm pretty proud of her fishing ability, but it also embarrasses and puts me to shame (I will not be including any of my fish from the night...).
Bruce: My wife is intensely jealous of your catfish. Impressive to take a cat like that on a lure. Very nice fish! Jeremy Wade is also her hero. First thing she said was, "That is a river monster fish..."
Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
eric that is a beautiful fish! I really like the coloration and just look at the body condition! It doesn't have the grey color of a feed trained bass?
TS are doing fine. Several sizes including schools of yoy. Good growth on that fish at 4 yrs. Time will tell. Hope to have more info by fall based on some genetic testing.

I would've figured that Bass would go over 9 lbs. Very impressive!
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.
Lake Fork ain't dead yet! Look at the belly on that beast (The one in the front). One of about 20 caught today. All looked like they were ready to spawn. The shad, yellow bass and white bass as forage have created some toads at Fork, and the next few years should again be as spectacular as the old days.
Caught several 4 pounders that had 2 pound frames.
