thats a drum alright. People look at them as trash fish, but they eat minnows, insects, and worms just like most game fish, and have some of the most flaky white flesh there is in fresh water. My son and I keep them when we catch em and mix them in with the crappie or catfish we are fishing for when we catch em. Very tasty fish.

He did describe the way a drum fights to a T though, hugging the bottom like you’ve hooked a log, they don’t really thrash around like a cat will |

That’s probably my favorite type of fishing, whether from the bank or kayak or boat. I especially like using 4.5 foot rods as part of my light tackle. That and in a reservoir outlet when water is being released as you never know what you might catch, whether walleye, wiper, catfish, crappie, a school of super aggressive white bass, or some big drum. |

My grandpa was obsessed with catching those bad boys, he used to hand craft his own lures. I tell you what, he was a church attending, God fearing man, but one time I saw him lose one of his custom made swim baits, I've never heard someone lose their religion so fast lol. Nothing worse than losing your gear, those chatterbaits aren't cheap either. I have a bunch of the originals, but I bought one of the "ZMAN" chartreuse ones yesterday, its been so long since I have been in a the fishing section of Field and Stream I forgot how magnificent it was lol.

Get you some gear for it and do it! Once you hook and net your first one you’ll want to do it all the time. It’s a grind but well worth it when you land one. RELEASE RELEASE RELEASE though. If you do end catching one be sure to take care of it while in your possession. Musky guys will publicly stone you if they see you killed one or kept one.
